Eye Color: blue

Friends: Friends? Um. How about admirers?
Personality: (NEW CHARACTER. Kind of. Personality needs tweaking.)

Lazy and self indulgent. She can be kind when she wants to (and if she hopes to make any money, she WILL) but she can also be vicious, mostly behind your back. To your face, and to most people she meets, Dakota is a perfectly lovely woman, charming and helpful, it mostly is to the people who know her well, that her behavior and attitude change, and often times, they change drastically.

Regardless of her bad qualities, she also has a few (maybe) good ones. She has the ability to work hard, build up her shop, make a success out of herself and earn trust. She has it, but only time can tell us if she will learn how to use it.

History: (More to be added here as well)

Dakota is a half blood, her father is a Muggle race car driver (now retired), and her mother is a pureblood; a bigwig fashion designer in the Wizarding World.

When Dakota was 12, her father was in a terrible accident during one of his races. She was away at Hogwarts when it happened, and her mother, assuming the injuries were fatal, pulled her out to come home. To the joy and relief of everyone, he did survive and to this day, he is as healthy as a horse. However, the accident did mark the end of his career, and his next race (which he won) was his last. Her mother continued to work, though not out of necessity, but because she liked her job very much. Dakota was sent back to school shortly after, and had to work very, very hard to catch up, and move on to the next year, come the next school term.

The Baileys are rather old family friends with the Kennings. Dakota, Etienne, and Holland attended Hogwarts in the same years, with the exception that Holland was a Hufflepuff. Much like the Kenning children, Dakota also had the best of both worlds, the Muggle world, and the Wizarding world, with everything at her fingertips; something that she has used and abused over and over through the years.

She was raised with everything she wanted, and as an obvious result, is very spoiled. Daddy's little girl could do no wrong (although she DID, and OFTEN) until she took his most prized racing car out for a little joy ride, and crashed it.

Now, she is working. For the first time in her life, actually working. Wiseacre's is actually owned by her parents, but Dakota is now in charge. It is the Bailey's hope that their daughter will learn to be a responsible adult, by working for a living, and making her way in the world beyond pedicures and facials.

It's sink or swim time for this Princess.

Name: Gemini Renata Schiavello
Date of Birth: June 6, 2043
Age: 30
Years attended Hogwarts (or other school): 2055-2061
Hogwarts House: N/A
Current Occupation: Shopkeeper of Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment
Previous Occupation(s): Divination Professor at a Wizarding Academy in California
Eye Color: brown
Hair: dirty blonde
Height: 5'11
Marital Status: Single
Friends: Friends? Everyone

Personality: Sometimes, it's almost as if Gem isn't really all there. She is constantly aware of everything that goes on around her, and as a result, she tends to wander off with her thoughts, while she looks as if she is listening to you. If you were to ask her to repeat what you just said, she could and she would be right. Though that didn't mean she was paying you the attention you may think you deserve.

If you were to describe Gemini with one word, that word would likely be "hippie". She's very much a California girl, often found on the beach. The type who would chain herself to a tree to keep it from being chopped down, Gemini is the kind of woman who is always worried about the future of our world, and what we can do to protect it.

Gemini is a good, loyal friend, but sometimes she gets too caught up in something, and tends to forget things such as meetings and appointments and favors for friends and family.

History: Growing up, Astronomy was a very big part of her life, obviously being named after her own star sign is a big indication of her home life. Gemini's mother taught Astronomy in a school in her hometown in Italy, until she and her husband moved to California.

Gem's father is a journalist, writer, photographer, painter, and general wanderer. She takes after him in many ways, more of which she discovers every day.

As an only child, Gemini spent most of her time with her family. She had a small handful of friends but mostly she only saw them in her classes. Outside of her schooling, she was a loner, and she preferred her company, or that of her parents, to children of her own age.

After she graduated, Gemini went on to further her education and eventually received a job teaching Divination. But often, all she could see was the bad in the world. Gemini soon grew tired of always being the bearer of bad news when all she wanted was to see the good. One day, her horoscope suggested that it was time for change, so she quit her job in California and started to travel. It was during her travels when she acquired Wiseacres from the previous owner who was desperate for a change as well.

Who knows how long she will stay in Diagon Alley. Perhaps until her horoscope decides that it is time for her to leave again? For now, Gem is content with new scenery, new people and concentrating on the good.
