Name:Gawain "Gavin" Edgar Murdoch Date of Birth: January 26, 2039 Age: 32 Years attended Hogwarts (or other school): 2051-2058 Hogwarts House: Gryffindor Current Occupation: Leaky Cauldron...specialist? Previous Occupation(s): Au pair, waiter, fisherman Eye Color: Blue Hair: Sandy blonde Height: 6'2" Marital Status: Legally single but fully committed to one Georgia "George" Mayes. They share a child together, Benjamin Garret Murdoch. Friends: Ethan "Zan" Truebridge, Morzella " Mozzie" O'Niel and last but not least, Georgia " George" Mayes
Personality: Gavin (he prefers to be called this as Gawain...just...is too much) is best described as someone who is friendly. Gavin likes pretty much anyone and everyone he meets, unless they give him a really good reason to. He's definitely the opposite of a Type A personality; He doesn't believe in planning one's life at all, because the universe will be one's guide. If the universe needs to place one a thousand miles from home, the universe will find a way. Everything happens for a reason, essentially. He also tends to lump a lot of ...beliefs into one system that works for him, but over all? He strives to be a good person and put good energy back into the universe. He's the first person to find the sliver lining in any cloud and the last person to give up on anyone or anything.
That said, he can sometimes be too trusting. He's been hurt before by people he's given his all to because that is the only way Gavin knows how to do anything. By giving it his absolute best and not worrying about failure since he finds life lessons in every experience. He's easily wounded too, but tends to hide this.
Though he never seems to get angry, Gavin can be driven to this negative emotion when someone or something threatens those he cares about. Then he can become quite intense and protective,sometimes even overprotective. He can be flighty too, and was until he decided he should come back home to England.
History:
Gavin, born Gawain Edgar ( his mum had a thing for weird names) was raised in Scotland his whole life in an old family home. He was the third of seven children. Eldest is Antony Marcus, then Cleopatra Jane, Gavin's two older siblings. The younger siblings are Lancelot James , Sunshine Mathilda, and then the twins, Apollo Davis and Artemis May. Needless to say, Gavin grew up in a slightly hectic environment , due to all the children constantly running around. But he was never bored, that much he can say.
His parents owned and ran a funeral home, which some might not expect of the Murdoch family, given their overall unusual appearance. Muggles would refer to them as hippies, but most just say odd. Due to being raised in and around the concept of life and death since he was young, it's easy to see how Gavin was so very comfortable with his way of living which afforded him the most experience for the lifetime he was given. Not that he doesn’t believe he’ll probably get another chance, he’ll just be an otter or something the next time around and otters simply don’t get to have the same sort of amazing experiences as wizards, now do they?
He left home and immediately started work as an au pair, or babysitter, whichever term he felt would be best. He spent a long time actually, being a childrens caregiver . He enjoyed it quite a bit seeing as how he enjoys being around kids in general. Plus, it allowed him to see a side of Muggles he’d never seen before and he was intensely interested in their everyday habits and the like. Around the time he turned twenty-three, he was offered a job as a waiter in a famous muggle restaurant, and he took the offer ( mostly because it meant he’d be working with his then girlfriend) because he figured…why not? He could always go back to being an au pair. Which…he did, just after he broke up with the first serious girlfriend of his life, one miss Natalie Thornton.
Several years into his comfortable existence as a nanny, he decided…or rather, he felt that he needed to start wandering again. So it was with a slightly sad departure ( he really did care about his last clients children, Madison and Gregory Pritchard, adorable twins) that he embarked on the last long journey of his life. Somehow, he ended up in Mexico, then on to Central and South America. There, he caught up with an old friend, Zan Truebridge, and was inspired to come full circle and go back to England. There, he took the first job he could find, and has been at the Leaky Cauldron ever since.

Name- Daniel Heston Upstead Age- 20 D.O.B- 19th January Current Occupation- Shopkeeper at Third Hand Book Emporium Previous Occupation- Part-time lifeguard; Owned a small Joke Shop in Australia; Shopkeeper of Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes. Eye Color- Bright blue Hair Color- Brown-blond Height- About 5’11” Weight- *shrugs* He’s slim and a teeny bit muscular. Lives- London Relationship Status- Single Children/Pets- No kids… no pets…
Background-
Daniel was brought up by his mother, a wealthy witch from a wealthy background. His father, Heath, was absent for a large portion of the boy’s life, and accepted Daniel’s wishes when, at eleven, the boy asked for no contact with the man, though he kept the last name ‘Upstead’ as his parents were legally married at the time of his birth. Daniel, wanting to stay away from the mainstream society, declined the offer of a place at Hogwarts and was subsequently home schooled by his mother until he decided he could face boarding school.
Instead of going to Hogwarts, where he was afraid he might encounter someone from his father’s side of the family, Daniel applied for a scholarship at an Australian wizarding school, which he then attended for his last year of schooling.
The boy came out with average grades overall, and proceeded to find a place of work. Schoolfriends and family were shocked when Daniel started trying to open a joke shop; he had always been very pro-rules and might have been a prefect had he attended school from an earlier year than he had. Nevertheless, when his business ideas failed in Australia, he returned to London, found a place of his own and acquired a shopkeepers postion at the famous joke shop in Diagon Alley.
However, as soon as he got the chance and a combination of earned and inherited money, Daniel took up the shopkeeping job in the third hand bookshop at Diagon Alley, as his main passion had always been books, and he felt for those who could not afford them, whether for school or recreational reading, so yeah… this job gave him the happy face. He’s a lot less tense now. And he hopes to pursue a career with books.
Daniel has never met any of his 6 siblings (some adopted) from his father, yet he vaguely resembles both of his half brothers, Jake and Dale. Daniel has no wish to meet his family. He wishes to keep his quiet life. Daniel isn’t heartless, he just feels that without him in the picture, everything is less complicated.
Personality-
Daniel is generally, well… nice. He spends most of his nights out with his muggle friends, partying usually, and will be seen the next morning drinking a strong black coffee. Always eager to help, Daniel will make sure your every book-shop need is catered for.
Likes-
Nice people, animals, having a good laugh, reading, going to gigs… and ladies.
Dislikes-
Nasty people, trouble makers, overly uptight people, thieves and spiders, children getting the store merchandise all dirty.
Other
Patronus- three-legged young fox
Wand- oak, fourteen inches, thestral hair core.

Occupation Previous Occupation:
Beater for the Fitchburg Finches
Personality
Being a FAMOUS Quidditch player has left him somewhat, if not a lot, big headed. He has the whole celebrity thing down and will try to use that to get what he wants. Impulses getting the better of him, plus the fact that he was a FAMOUS Quidditch player and has enough money to do whatever he wants, Archer is left with more things than he knows what to do with.
He can also recite the anatomy of a dog, from tail to nose, nose to tail.
Alphabetical order if you'd rather.
History
Born in a small town in Lewisham, a district in South London, Archer is the oldest child of Thomas and Kimberly Blevins. His younger sister, Linley, arrived four years later. Small in number, the family made up for that with numerous pets, which peaked Archer's fascination with animals from a very young age. It also helped that his parents, both working in some kind of field that dealt with animals and creatures (his father is a cryptozoologist and his mother is a veterinarian), would let the boy accompany them to work. Just from observing, it was decided that, once he was old enough, he wanted to be just like them.
Except, that decision was short-lived, and as soon as he arrived at Hogwarts, he became fascinated with other things.
Quidditch became a big part of Archer's life. And not only did he make it on his house team in his first year, he quickly learned the perks of being on it. His grades seemed to be almost nonexistent in all classes, besides his Creatures and Flying classes which he passes with flying colors, of course, and with Quidditch now the only thing he could see himself doing for the rest of his LIFE, Archer went on the prowl for a team that would sign him as soon as he graduated. To his displeasure, his parent forbade him to drop out, like he wanted to. Luck just happened to be on his side, though, and after only a few months of searching, he was signed, sealed and delivered. Quite literally. The Fitchburg Finches of the United States took interest in the seventeen year old.
His years on the team were the BEST, he would say. Archer was happy, and he discovered there were even more perks of being a FAMOUS Quidditch player. He also quickly learned that the ladies people across the pond love an English accent.
Things happened, things which he is not proud of and things that he won't ever talk about, and calling the Quidditch scene quits, not that he would call everything about it quits, he moved back to London after twelve long years of being away. He enrolled in some university courses, where he is sure to be recognized from his FAMOUS Quidditch days and will be able to breeze right through them because of that. Even more recently, after taking a trip down the familiar Diagon Alley street, he saw a shop for sale and, not giving it a second thought, bought it.
Since Quidditch didn't work out, and since he doesn't really know how to do anything else, working with animals in some way was his only option.

Name: David James Lisimba Birthday: 3 May 2042 Age: 29 Heritage: Halfblood Hogwarts House: Slytherin Years Attended Hogwarts: 2053-2060 Wand:
Appearance: Moderately tanned, dark brown hair, which is about an inch or two in length, generally gelled. Dark brown eyes, that may appear greenish-gray in the light. Height: 6'2" Build: Very muscular, but slightly pudgy abdomen
Personality: Quiet and reserved upon initial meeting, but by the second or third encounter, you will discover he is very persuasive. He likes when he gets his way, but isn't completely disheartened when he doesn't. A bit of a flirt and he knows it.
Family:
Parents: Paul Jay Lisimba, Ex-Auror and current Hit Wizard at the Ministry, and Joelle Tuscoe, Muggle fashion designer. Siblings: Younger sister, Stephanie, who is 26 and a healer at St Mungos in the long-term care unit.
History: David is the eldest child of Paul and Joelle Lisimba, born in a small town in Austria. His parents moved to London, England when he was just two years old, and they have lived there ever since. His mother, of muggle descent, works from home designing muggle fashion and recently taken up creating some original Wizarding articles as well. Whereas, his father, works for the British Ministry as a Hit Wizard, which means he spent little time at home raising his two children.
From a very early age, David was around mostly women, which means that though he is quite the gentlemen, he often forgets how to be more than just a friend. He attended Hogwarts and achieved average marks, but nowhere near as talented [or attractive] as his kid sister, Stephanie, who seemed to have taken all the good genes. Stephanie was the model student, star Chaser, and basically everything anyone could want. Which is why it was quite the surprise when David was named Head Boy in his seventh year.
Upon graduating Hogwarts, David spent a few years simply traveling around Europe. He had little drive as to what he wanted to do, even after his sister was accepted and graduated Healer School after Hogwarts. His sister - always the perfect one. By the time she graduated Healer school, he was 24 and still unemployed and clueless; she encouraged David to work anyplace. To which he gained part-time employment as a Horticulturist at the Ministry due to his father. He lasted only one week before being fired for 'not caring enough about the plants'.
Reluctantly, he took a job as a dishwasher at the local pub, which he managed to hold down that job for the next five years. Up until last week, when he spotted a classified ad for a new shopkeeper for a store in Diagon Alley. Not bothering to note WHAT shop it was, but just desperate to get away from washing dishes, David applied. A week later, he was notified that he had been hired, which was then that he also noted the shop was for BEAUTY Potions. Too late to back out - particularly as it was something MORE than dishwashing, David began setting up his new store.
Who knows, perhaps he may have arbitrarily just found his calling . . . on accident.

Personality: Kayla is a feisty piece of work. She has a no holds barred attitude and will tell you exactly how it is. In saying that she can also be an extremely nice person and always shows respect to others so long as they show her the same respect.
History: She grew up in Nottingham with her parents Jack and Nicolette. Her father is a muggle and her mother a witch. Kayla had a very happy upbringing until her grandmother came into her life during her first year of Hogwarts.
Rosa Cavello is a formidable, strict and very cruel woman. As her only grandchild, she took Kayla in and proceeded to train her in the family business (which cannot be discussed here lol).
During her fourth year, her parents were forced into hiding for their own safety and in that time, Nicolette gave birth to another girl which they named Sierra.
Kayla attended Hogwarts for five terms and enjoyed the position of Prefect in her fifth year before having to leave due to personal reasons. She continued her studies from home.
In her third year, she met Nicholai Toussaint and fell in love. They were together for six years and have a son named Michael. Unfortunately things did not work out between the two and they separated in 2071.
For as long as she could remember Kayla has always wanted to be a cursebreaker and the moment she finished her studies, she applied for a job at Gringotts and here she is.
I’ve been the number one diva in this game for a minute
I know you read the paper the one that they call the queen
Have the radio wondering on me because that where I be.
THE BASICS
Hello! My name is Paris Emily Greenwood-Ritchie
You can call me Paris
I am twenty-three years old
My Dad is wizard and my mom is a witch so that makes me pureblood? Yep!
I was born in Paris, France
My birthday is on January 25, 2052
Right now, I work in Gringotts! And I am pregnant!
You can see that I am a GIRL, duh.
My wand is 13 inches long made of Zebrawood with a sphinx heartstring core
APPEARANCE
+Hair: straight, light brown, and mid-length.
+Eyes: Light brown, Large, round and full of beauty
+Build: thin and petite, with all the right curves
+Height: 4'7"
+General appearance: Paris has a timeless look about her and she looks flawless all the time. Her honey colored skin is as smooth as the day she was born. Thanks to good genes and a great body wash of her own concoction. Her large, round, brown eyes are framed long eye lashes that sometimes sweep her cheeks when she blinks. Paris keeps her hair long though she always styles it so its sometimes hard to tell that it actually sweeps her shoulders.
Without a doubt, Paris is a diva. So her style is always on. She never leaves the house looking less than her best. Her favorite article of clothing is a off the shoulder jersey dress. In her favorite green. And she is a total shoe horse. Heels are her favorites though she will wear a pair of sneakers with the right outfit. Her color palette runs the gamut. From dark and mysterious to loud and out there. She isn't a fan of red though. Whatever mood she is in is the colors she chooses. She loves jewelry she you can find her wearing a few choice, but expensive pieces. Her favorite is a charm bracelet that her father bought for her 16th birthday. She never takes it off.
AN IN-DEPTH LOOK
ABOUT ME
Paris is a diva and she wears the crown in her family. No one is better than her. No matter how hard they try. And that's all the needs to be said about that. She loves to dress up to the nine and stop traffic and she has to be the center of attention at all times. Though she doesn't do anything overt to get this attention. All she needs to do is walk into the room and all eyes are on her. If you have to say it you've already lost. Her status goes without saying. She is the queen bee in her hive and she will not be stepped to like she is still in a training bra. That's just the way things are so get used to it.
She doesn't like pretenders to her throne and will take on the world if she has too. If you don't like her, well get in line and take a number. She takes no prisoners on her quest to be the best. And she will be the best, she just will be. She is brash and opinionated. She says what she thinks and does what she wants. There are few people in this world that can say no to Paris once she makes up her mind about something. She can be abrasive at times, though she will call it being honest. Never ask her a question you don't want to know the honest answer to, because that is what you will get from Paris.
She fell in love with Leonardo DaVinci at a young age and she made up in her mind that was going to go down in history as the greatest inventor with DaVinci as her idol. She found out that she was a nature at potions and she took to it like a duck to water. Her dad built her her first laboratory in their new house when she was 11 years old and she been cranking out everything from an improved skin tonic, to color changing potion.
Under her tough exterior beats a tender heart. Many people think she is abrasive and will take one look at her a write her off, but she is still just a little girl on the inside. She is sweet and kind and will give anyone the shirt of her back. She has a chip on her shoulder about her height and tends to overcompensate for her short stature. She can be playful and when she smiles she can light up any room on the planet.
She is her father's daughter all the way. Her and her dad share a special bond that she will never let go of. She was lay on the floor of his piano room while he belted out anything and everything that his fingers could play. And they would stay that way for hours and hours. Or they could be found in her lab while she showed him all of her experiments and he would offer his advice and fatherly love. Just being around her father is enough to make Paris giddy all over. Even though she likes being in the thick of things and in the middle of the crowd she does enjoy her alone time. That quiet reflection time by herself. To recharge her batteries and to work on Paris. She uses some of the time to write and think of new potion formulas.
Paris is all girl and you better know it. She loves everything about being a girl. Her, her mother and her sister always spent their Saturday mornings being pampered at the salon. Hair, nails, skin, and pedicures. All the the physical things that make being a girl so much fun. Then of course she loves to get down and dirty if she has to. She could rough it out with her brothers if need be. She has 5 of them after all she had to let them know who was in charge.
People often think Paris is shallow and one dimensional and yes she will admit that she is sometimes a bit shallow, but there is more to her then a beautiful face and an awesome wardrobe. But she is a highly intelligent girl who took her studies very seriously. She got 10 OWL in her fifth year at Hogwarts, and 9 NEWTs. There are only a handful of people in Hogwarts history with that many OWLs or more. She is a lover of literature. Some of her favorite books are The Iliad and Arabian Nights. If she had been born in another century she would have been a great explorer.
I'm super fond of my father, music, Chanel, diamonds, ice mice, shopping, music, glitter, high heels, dancing, mafia movies, romantic comedies, Queen Rania of Jordan, Marc Jacobs bags, arm cuffs, dangly earrings, her father's cooking, FASHION IN GENERAL, her lab, my brother Diggy, my sister Harlow green curry chicken, yoga, swimming, beaches, manicures,
But I do not care for my grandmother (that horrible woman), girls pretending they can compete with me, cute girls who dress like ugly girls, green beans, dark colors all the time, PUBLIC BATHROOMS IN GENERAL, apple juice, room service stopping at 10pm, litterbugs, my siblings spending too much time with her dad
Some of my aspirations include
+Being a great inventor!
+Discovering the next great potion
+Designing my own shoeline.
A few fears sometimes get in the way
+Being alone
+Losing my family
+Paparazzi What??? They killed Princess Diana!

HISTORY
The whirlwind that is Paris' life started out with a holiday in Paris, France for her mother and father. She was born on a blistery January day and her mother named her after the city of lights. Her birth was just as dramatic as the girl herself with her father passing out and her mother throwing things at people in the room. Paris burst into the world not uttering a single cry and smiling at all the healers in the room. The healers had never seen a baby do that before. She was the first child for Egypt and Nathan and she came before the two were married. She was the first child, and her and her dad developed a deep and close relationship. More so than she did with her mother. She was the apple in her father's eye and she loved the time they spent together. Sitting on the kitchen counter as he cooked dinner. Tagging along with him as he birthed baby dragons. She didn't expect anyone to come along and steal her thunder. Her sister Willow was born 9 months after her. So they are the same age. Her brother Lucas came 3 years that. Paris thought her parents were done having children, but then 5 years later the twins Joseph and Dillon. The twin terrors. 3 years after that the second set of twins Benjamin and Devon burst into the world.
She guards the time with her father very jealously and has been known to threaten her brothers and sisters when she felt they were spending too much time with her dad. But she still loves her brothers and sisters and will defend them vigorously against anyone. You mess with them you mess with Paris.
Paris grew up a privileged child and she doesn't apologize for that. Her family has money and there's no use trying to change that, or hiding. Her family worked hard for their money. Her ancestors were once slaves and once free they began to build their empire. She grew up with her mother and father pampering her and she loved every minute of it. Her parents showered her with all the love they had. And she was surrounded by other family members. Aunts, uncles and a slew of cousins. So family is paramount to her. First and foremost, even though she doesn't always act like it. She spent her childhood years traveling with her family around the world and being a spoiled little princess. Just how she liked it being. She spent lazy summers on the shores of exotic beaches, winters on the slopes of the Alps.
Her parents never really having to work to make money have had a variety of jobs. When she was younger they both worked at the Ministry of Magic. Her father was on the magical law enforcement squad. And her mother was a judge on the Wizengamot, but both of them got burned out pretty quickly and within a few years they both left the Ministry. Her mom spent more time at home with them and Paris liked having her mother at home. Even though she had a better relationship with her dad. Her dad traveled around the world studying and learning about dragons. Often times the children went with him. Then both her parents got jobs at the Daily Prophet. And that's when she and Willow started school. Paris went off to her mother's alma mater. Arcane Magical Institute in Cairo, Egypt. Her sister Willow went to a magical performing arts school in Switzerland. She would have finished up her magical education at Arcane, but the things that were happening with her grandmother trying to unite all the African Ministries into one concerned her mother and she transferred to Hogwarts in her third year.
Her first year at Hogwarts was rough. She had to reestablish herself as the top dog and she was sorted into Slytherin and that was a hard thing to do. But she managed it, and by the time she was in her 7th year she had been Quidditch Captain for 2 terms and on the Quill staff for 3 terms. She was also on the yearbook staff. At the age of 12 the young Paris was the youngest person to be inducted into the Most Extraordinary Society of Potioneers for her article on her discovery of the "5 Uses of Acromantula Venom." You don't really want to know how she got that venom. She would later on become the president after graduating from Hogwarts.
So she properly left her mark on Hogwarts. She got 10 OWLs and 9 NEWTs and was offered several jobs around the world. Paris turned them down to further her studies and she went to Wizarding University in Scotland, concentrating in Experimental Potions. While there she was on the Ghanaian national team. After she graduated she was recruited to the Appleby Arrows. She was the Arrows chaser for 2 years. Paris was the Spokeswitch for the Jetstream Broom, she would move on to play for the French national team before retiring at the age of 21. After leaving quidditch she did a stint at the French Ministry in their Wizarding Patent office, in the experimental charms and potions division but it didn't give her enough time for her own inventions and potions.
It was then Paris came up with the brilliant idea to open her own potion making operation. The Greenwood Potions Factory was born. GPF Limited started trading on the open market and the company exploding. They are now selling in over 60 countries around the world with their flagship store in London. She was awarded the Order of Merlin Second Class for her invention of the Youth Elixir. Paris was also Witch Weekly's Socialite of the Year and the winner of their Most Charming Smile. Her life has been a fabulous time for her and she is only 23. She can't wait for the next 60 years of her life.
Paris had been a serial dater for years and she thought she would remain single. She just could never find a man that could hold interest long enough to even like. And boy did they try. However that all changed when she met muggle footballer Xorin Ritchie. The new forward for Manchester United. A native of Belize she was captivated by his smile and athletic build. They met during the red carpet even for the release of Victoria Beckham's new fragrance. At first Paris rebuffed his clumsy attempts to court her. But he was persistent, and he wore her down. The couple dated for six months before he finally popped the question, and Paris happily accepted. The Greenwood-Ritchie wedding was the stuff of legends and Paris wouldn't have had it any other way. She wanted Westminster Abby for the location, however it is not open to private bookings no matter how many tantrums Paris threw. And being the diva that she is Paris was not about to repeat the wedding locations of her relatives. How tacky!
By a stroke of luck she was able to secure the Amalienborg Royal Palace in Copenhagen. And the pint sized Greenwood planned the most extravagant parisan wedding. It started with a week long celebration that ended in a spectacular wedding ceremony. She wore a custom Versace gown with a five foot veil. Her aunt India, HRH of Saudi Arabia donated the queen's crown to her niece for the ceremony. It was attended by 5,000 friends and family members of the couple. Xorin and Paris exchanged custom Cartier rings, Paris' being a 4 caret black diamond.
The reception was a mascarade ball and Paris wore a vintage Alexander McQueen gown. The entire wedding was everything Paris wanted it to, even if the bill made her father faint. The pictures went for thousands on the muggle and wizarding market. The couple is expecting their first daughter, Israel.
My family is LARGE
+ Xorin (24) husband

+ Mom (42)
+ Willow (23)
+ Lucas (20)
+ Diggy and JoJo (18)

While in Scotland, Cherry met a man that swept her off of her feet, and a few years later, they had a baby girl named Berry. He deserted them soon after Berry (now 5) was born, and left Cherry rather devastated, seeing as she was only 20 at the time.
Cherry has finally returned back to London with her daughter and wants to make a fresh start.

Hair: Brown Eyes: Blue Height: 6'3" Marital Status: Married Spouse: Adriana Luciano Sayre Solara Ambrée Lafay-Sayre (Divorced)
Personality:
Victor looks out for Victor. He is cunning and ruthless; a Tactician, always thinking 12 moves ahead.
History:
Victor started life as an orphan. Shuffled from home to home by flawed system, he slipped through the cracks, ending up on the streets of London.
On a cold, rainy night, as Victor sat sick and hungry, he spotted an unexpecting passerby. Concentrating hard on what he desired Victor found that he could relieve the old man of his wallet. He spent years in dark alleyways and on busy streets, pick pocketing hoards of unsuspecting tourists.
It wasn't long after that a group of Ministry officials sought him out for recruitment to Hogwarts. He appreciated the wizarding school and excelled in his studies until the suspicious death of a fellow student prompted Victor to flee the country.
He spent the next decade apprenticing under, Dante Vondrak, an infamous Dark Wizard. He learns much from Vondrak during their time together and when the Ministry gets too close, Victor decides to take the rap for his mentor. He is sent to Azkaban Prison for 10 years and upon his release, discovers that Vondrak has died, leaving the now credible Victor, his open spot in the "business".
Currently, he is in Knockturn Alley, looking over certain "interests".

SPOILER!!: Past past character
Name: Louise Sullivan Age: 28 Date of Birth: 9th November 1944 Place of Birth: Cornwall, England Attended Hogwarts: 2055-2062 Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw Blood Status: Half and Half Current Occupation: TerrorTours Shopkeeper Previous Occupation: Travel Journalist Marital Status: Single
Louise was born to a Muggle Father and a Wizarding Mother in the heart of a Cornish community. The family had always loved to travel and so the, then girl, never stayed in one place for too long. The young family mostly moved around Britain but Louise wanted to explore further.
Once she had graduated from Hogwarts school, with 9 OWL’s and 7 NEWT’s under her belt, the young woman decided to explore further and got a career as a travel journalist, initially in the Muggle community but then furthering it into the Wizarding Community too. In total with her career as a journalist, she has travelled over 6 continents, visiting over 130 countries as she did so. Which made her pretty much perfect for her new career she gained as she came back to England.
As soon as the opportunity arose for the Manager position in TerrorTours Travel Agency came up, Louise grabbed it at first glance and received the job quite soon after she had gone for an interview. Even though she finds it hard to not jetpack off somewhere, Louise loves her job in Diagon alley.
Personality
Louise is never one to sit still, the woman is friendly and most certainly intelligent, but for her to settle down and not go off exploring some country she hadn’t visited yet, was very rare. Though now that she has covered a lot of the Earths surface, Louise is happy to help others do what she has done previously and a warm welcome is always present whenever someone walks into the shop.

Personal Information
Your Name? Tallulah Esmerelda Maria Adler
But you like to be called? Tallulah, Tally, Lou.
Your age? 23 years old.. I think Counts with fingers
You were born in? Linz, Austria
But you live in? Chelsea, London
You were born on? 6th March
Your heritage? Muggleborn
History
I was born in Austria to a mum and a dad! I lived in this Country for 12 years as a Muggle before receiving a letter for a Magic School, I knew I was special, they all told me that I was “special” because I could do stuff. One day right, I was sat eating my lunch with my friends and this pigeon started talking to me, I was like.. Wow! And then I made an apple fly but that was no where near as amazing as the pigeon! So then right, I got this letter from a school called Beauxbatons and off I went to a place called France, where we did MAGIC! And much to my suprise I actually managed to get a few OWLs and NEWTS, admittingly my best was an O Muggle Studies but I got an E in charms (probably because the Professor was very pretty) and I got A's in Astronomy, mum always said I'd be a star and also in herbology, apparently my best friend when I was five was a tree. Oh and Care of Magical Creatures. After leaving school I became a fashion designer student, apparently I was at my best amongst clothes, Muggle or Wizards. Ever since I was small I could produce garments out of materials I found around the place. I could also write pages on clothing articles and advised people on what they looked best in. In fact, I even found that when it came to measuring people for clothes, I could actually add!
Working Career
What do you do? Shopkeeper Assistant
For which shop? Madame Malkins
What did you used to do? I was a fashion student for a few years with a London Muggle fashion school but I didn't last very long, I kept on accidently setting the garments on fire. Oops. So then because dad told me that I had to get a job or else he'd kick me out, I worked in a charity shop but I didn't get along with the old people in there, they couldn't understand me because I talked to fast and used funny words. I then got offered a place as a fashion editor in a small low cost magazine, which was the job of a lifetime, until they went bankrupt. So I turned to the Wizarding World, writing a few clothing articles here and there for them before finally receiving a job at Madame Malkins. I heard they were the best clothes store in Diagon Alley so I jumped at the chance, even if that does mean I have to put up with these funny school garments they wear.
Personality
I guess you could call me ditzy. I dont mean to be, but I've never been completely with it if you get what I mean. I love working with clothes though and I can be very friendly and helpful whenever I need to be, in fact I don't think there's a single mean bone in my body. I get along with people of all ages, I honestly don't think I've found someone who I dont get along with. I'm thrilled to have been asked to assist at Madame Malkins, its a once in a lifetime chance.
Jude Marley Moore
Basic Facts
Date of Birth: September 20th 2048 Place of Birth: Limerick, Ireland. Nationality: Irish Current Residence: Kensington, London Blood Status: Half Blood Marital Status: Single
Appearance
Hair Colour: Very dark brown, almost black. Eye Colour: Chocolate Brown Height: 5ft8 Clothing Style: Relaxed and casual when out and about. But the man looks equally comfortable in a suit, depending on the occasion. Basic Description: With a thick dark set of curls on his head and deep peircing eyes, Jude is a reasonably good looking bloke. His complexion is quite pale, though he can appear to be tanned at moments. Always carrying a smile, he has a very white and straight set of teeth that complete his perfect grin. Jude isn't always clean shaven, sometimes he is just too busy or not bothered and the stubble shows through, dark like his hair colour. Of average height, he doesn't generally stand out from the crowd, happy with the way he looks, a perfectly content and casual man.
Family Background
Mother: Rainbow Moore Father: Bob O'Donnell Siblings: Half Brother Dylan McCartney Moore Family History: Born to a Muggle mother and a Wizard father, Jude is labelled a half blood. Up until the age of 1, his life was fairly normal. That was until his mother had an affair with another Muggle and gave birth to a son, his half brother Dylan. Obviously distraut after finding out about his wifes affair, Jude's dad left them to fend for themselves, hence why Jude takes his mothers surname rather than his fathers. He didn't have much exposure to magic, purely because he lived with his mum whom could not do magic herself and at such a young age, Jude did not show any magical abilities. Jude's grandparents are no longer alive, he has no idea of the whereabouts of his own father and his only sibling is his brother. The only people he now considers his family is his mum and Dylan.
Work and Schooling Experience
Muggle Schooling Years: 2051-2059 Wizarding Schooling years: 2059-2066 Attendance: Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry House: Ravenclaw Amount of OWL's: 11 Amount of NEWT's: 8 Worst Subject: Flying Best Subject: Aritmancy Work Experience: His initial years of education came from the Commune starting from a primary age. Up until the age of 11 Jude kept of being educated alongside his brother by his friends and family, when he received his Hogwarts letter. His education here continued up until 2066 when he graduated with a reasonable amount of examination results. Always keen on writing his own books, Jude became an intern at a publishers in the Muggle World . The pay wasn't exactly great but it got him through until he was able and experienced enough to find a better job. Throughout his years at the publishers, Jude kept on writing his own stories, detailing his own life experiences in the commune alongside fictional ideas and characterisation. His second career from aged 21 was at a Wizarding Bookstore in a hidden community in Ireland. Assisting the shopkeeper and allowing him to read his own fiction, Jude gained the confidence to go ahead and take his novel to a publishers. His life turned around when his book was accepted aged 25. Published the following year, it gained 5th position in the Muggle Best sellers list of 2073. It never hit off in the Wizarding World, purely because to Muggles his writing seemed primarily fictional but to a Wizard a lot of it was true. Although he gained a fortune from his one hit wonder, Jude isn't one to bask in his own glory. Instead of spending his money straight away, he saved it up. Recently he heard of the third hand bookshop ownership opening in Diagon Alley and so went to enquire into whether to buy it or not. Knowing fully well that he had enough money to buy it and certainly enough experience to run such a place, Jude bought the shop and is currently the new owner. He still writes his own fiction in his spare time.
Personal History
Jude's mother has always been and will always be a hippie. His name derived from the hippie culture over 100 years previous. A band called the Beatles released a very famous song named 'Hey Jude' hence his forename and a very popular artist, one of his mothers favourites in fact called Bob Marley, became the inspiration for his middle name. Jude has magical blood, but he hasn't always known about it. Growing up in a hippie Commune in Ireland with his brother and his mum, Jude has always been around people and families similar to his own. Everything he owned was shared, all living under one roof and helping to bring up the kids together, the man has grown to appreciate the help of others.
He has always had a love of books, whether they be fictional or non fictional, Jude kept a secret collection under his bed that no one else could touch. The lad was intelligent, had good knowledge and even learnt to play the Guitar and sing, mainly for entertainment of others but also for his own purposes. It wasn't until he was 8 where he showed any signs of Magical ability, after he accidently flew his favourite book 'Tales of the Riverbank' towards him without using his hands. It scared him at first and he kept his 'skill' hidden from everyone else including his family, until 2 years later where he also found out his brother shared his talent. Aged 11, like most other magical children, Jude received the owl to Hogwarts and travelled there the following september, being aptly sorted into Ravenclaw house and getting along well with a lot of the students. He exceeded his expectations in school, receiving the majority of his owls and newts, only ever not getting the hang of one subject, flying. Prefering his feet being on the ground, Jude shone in Arithmancy receiving a very high O at both OWL and NEWT level. He was much more book smart, also exceeding in Ancient Runes and Astronomy and gaining high levels in the rest of his taken subjects.
Still preferring small Muggle Communities than the hustle and bustle of Wizarding life, Jude moved out of the Commune immediately after graduating from school. He found a small apartment in the outskirts of Sligo, big enough for his needs as he worked at the local publishers. He continued to live here as he found a new job at his favourite bookstore, only moving to a slightly bigger shared apartment in Ballymote, County Sligo when he had enough money to. He stayed here, even when he gained his fortune from his novel, not wanting to upstakes and enjoying the quieter life. He never had such luck with his love life, enjoying the company of his female friends but never forming a relationship that lasted more than a few months, knowing how easy it was for one to go astray. He still kept a close bond with his family however.
It wasn't until he heard about the Third Hand Book Emporium that Jude decided it was best for him to move out of his home country and into England where he could find a lot more employment, knowing that he would much rather still be working than sat at home. After buying the shop, Jude moved down to London, sharing an appartment with Dylan in Kensington, or rather renting a room out to his brother.
Personality
Growing up surrounded by hippie's, Jude is very laid back and relaxed in his personality. He doesn't really care what a lot of people think of him, he'd much rather be reading, writing or practicing his musical abilities than out having a supposedly 'good time.' The former Ravenclaw is definitely a gentleman, used to being around lots of families, his people skills are great and appropriate for working a shop. He hardly ever gets angry or irritated about anything, rational thinking is much more his type and even when he's stuck in a difficult situation, he'd rather spend time thinking about it than rushing straight in at the deep end. Work is very important to the man, although he could probably live sponging off his savings without a care in the World, he feels that having a job provides you with skills you cannot learn just by yourself and also enables him to socialise with others he wouldn't normally be around. Having something to set your mind to, having a goal to try to reach and a reason for getting out of bed in the morning, is a lot more important than money would ever be to him. He feels that education and books are still valid in todays society, hence why buying the bookshop to him was a very important deal, especially as it is the third hand book emporium and enables people who are perhaps not as better off as others are, to have the opportunity to read. Jude still believes in some values his mother has taught him. He believes that looking after the world is crucial, that everything would be better if everyone got along and that love is what we should be striving to achieve not hate.

Name: Cailean Anthony Sykes Nickname: Sykes Date of Birth: June 11th 2049 Age: 25 Heritage: Pureblood Lives: Newcastle, England Marital Status: Single Wand: TBD Years Attended Hogwarts: 2060-2067 Hogwarts House: Slytherin
Appearance:
i. Hair: Long and black ii. Eye color: Hazel iii. Weight: 148 iv. Height: 5’9 v. Build: Thin
Sykes can usually be seen in dark comfortable clothing. He doesn’t really care about his appearance much; no one should be allowed to judge him on that. His hair is often swept back in a messy fashion
Personality:
Skyes is an extremely quiet person. He enjoys keeping to himself rather than talking to a bunch of people. He tries to avoid any major social functions, as they make him feel uncomfortable. At times he can seem somewhat harsh but that is only because he doesn’t fully know how to communicate well with people. Since he is so awkward around people he finds that he connects much more with animals rather than humans. To him humans are boring, while animals always bring excitement or something new.
History:
Cailean (pronounced kay-lin) was the first child born to Pureblood couple Peadar and Effie Sykes. Born in Newcastle, Cailean had a relatively quite childhood. He was often considered to be a troubled child due to his lack of enthusiasm with being around his peers. Unlike other children in his family he was not obsessed with Quidditch, or brooms or flying.
When Cailean was five his father got him a pet lizard. At first Cailean was wary of the lizard, thinking it different and weird because of its appearance and movement. He refused to play or look at the lizard and demanded a dog instead. One night however, when his parents were away at a function and he was left with a babysitter, the lizard began making weird noises. Cail realized that something was wrong with it and spent his whole night nursing the lizard back to its proper health. After that night he became attached to animals.
When he turned eight his brother, and total opposite, Sionn was born. While Cailean was quiet and shy, Sionn was loud and friendly. Cail had naturally dark eyes and hair, and Sionn’s were naturally light. He never minded the differences with him and his brother, in fact he appreciated it. It took his parents control off of him and onto his younger sibling, although that shift did make Sionn more popular among them.
When Cailean was 11 he was accepted into Hogwarts and of course, like everyone else in his family he got sorted into Slytherin. He had wanted to go into a field with animals, yet did not want to become a dragon trainer.
Of course like any Pureblood parents, Peadar and Effie wanted to see their son marry a wonderful Pureblood girl and have children soon. Cailean however was not ready for this and so when he turned 21 he went abroad to study animals which kept him away from his parents. Upon his recent return his parents were so happy that they bought the Magical Menagerie from its last owner so he could continue his dream with working with animals.
Name: Rokhsar Stella Kozlov Nickname: Roxy Date of Birth: April 6th 2052 Age: 21 Heritage: Pureblood Nationality: Russian Years attended Hogwarts: 2063-2070 Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw Current Occupation: Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment’ Shopkeeper Assistant Previous Occupation: Welcome Witch at St Mungo’s Marital Status: Single Wand: Willow, Veela Hair, 9 inches
Eye Color: Usually light blue Hair: Dark Brown Height: 5’4 Weight: 110 Appearance: Rokhsar’s style is somewhat of a mystery even to her. She has no problem wearing simple dresses or heels at all, but usually her look is more casual. She likes to wear really large plaid shirts and ripped jeans with flats. Her shoulder length hair is almost always seen with some sort of headband.
|Personality|
Since day one at Hogwarts, Rokhsar was always the class clown, making jokes and cheering people up. She is a very sweet, bubbly person and is almost always happy. At times she can also be a bit slow though, but she always catches on eventually. She has a really loud voice, and never holds back on using it, and she has no problem at all with helping random strangers with anything. Rokshar is probably the most unorganized person that anyone will ever meet.
|History|
Rokhsar was born the second daughter of Pureblood parents Roger Brantt and Sveta Kozlov. Rokhsar’s arrival was intended to mend the breaking relationship of Roger and Sveta and it did for a bit. Her and her older sister Rebekka grew up in a happy stable environment in the little city of Izhevsk, Russia. At the age of five things changed dramatically for Rokshar. Her father got up one night and left without a word. Her mother was distraught, but pulled herself together quickly for the two girls.
Roxy noticed her father’s absence but never said anything about it out loud. Her life was not ruined, and if anything the man leaving had caused their family to come closer together. Growing up in the small city, and knowing so many people made her personality blossom at a young age.
When she was 11 she got accepted into Hogwarts. The summer before she was tutored in English and her first year was shaky due to her heavy accent. Nevertheless she easily made friends.
She was never the smartest person in her class, her attention was drawn toward things more of the artsy side, so when she finished school she decided to take a break and create her own band called The DustedWands. After gaining popularity around Russia, she received a call from a small boy calming to be her brother. It seemed as though her father had started a new family.Rokshar wasn’t upset though she welcomed the boy in with open arms.
When she turned 19 she decided to get a real job while still remaining in the band. Her time at St Mungo’s was interesting but the Russian quickly got bored, medical things were not her forte. After searching for a new job for months she finally got hired at Wiseacre's as an Assistant.

Mother: Sveta Kozlov - 54

{Appearance} Hair colour: Light brown hair Eye colour: Topaz eyes, often appearing golden or hazel Height: 5'10" Build: Athletic
{Personality}
Dominic Denton is a stubborn, rude, egotistical, weird, sarcastic, anti-social, but yet oddly typical young adult. Though he once hated books, he's developed a tolerance for certain ones. He absolutely thrives in learning with the exception that he prefers practical to theoretical style learning. While he still finds himself overwhelmed and uncomfortable around most females, there are some exceptions to the rule.
One more thing - no matter what, Dominic Denton is ALWAYS right.
{History}
Dominic is an unusual case for being a pureblood. Born in Ireland on October 13 to Lena and Peter Denton, Dominic is the only child. Most of his life was relatively normal, with the exception that he was raised solely by his mother, Lena, in Southern England, who works in Experimental and Research of Potions. His father, Peter, left for America to pursue other endeavors when Dominic was just a few years old so he has little memory of him or what his father is even doing now. Up until his fourth year, he was also homeschooled, when his mother insisted that he attended Hogwarts to force socialization skills upon him. Also it was taxing on herself in not having time to properly teach her son while conducting research experiments.
His fourth year was spent mostly trying to grow adept to the new surroundings. Some of his prized achievements from this first term at Hogwarts include making the Quidditch team as seeker, as well as an enthralling journey for an unknown treasure throughout the school year, which gained him many that undoubtedly would consider him 'friend'. Some of which include: Celandine Toussaint, Anna Greingoth, Kaika Lockhart, Savannah Mae, Curt Diggory, and Seth Paton.
The summer after his fourth, Dominic received notice of being made the Hufflepuff Prefect for the following year, for which his mother was absolutely ecstatic over and assumed he must have done something right. Pleased at her son's accomplisments, Lena gave giving him some extra monies (that she earned for winning second place in a Potion Contest in February) for shopping this term, as well as freedom to shop on his own. Dominic used that money towards purchasing himself a new broomstick, an Oakshaft 2008, since his previous broom was destroyed in the Championship Match by Willow Kovac.
During Dominic's fifth year, there isn't much to say since much of it was spent becoming used to his new rights as Prefect, reciting sonnets to Professors because of a minor overstepping towards the new ancient, Professor Kazimeriz, who he learned a great deal of appreciation for by the end of the term, and studying for OWL exams.
His efforts paid off for his OWL studying, enabling the young Hufflepuff to earn a total of eleven OWLs, scoring Outstanding in a whopping SEVEN subjects: Arithmancy, Astronomy, CoMC, Charms, DADA, Potions, and Transfiguration. Dominic scored an 'Exceeds Expectations in Divination, Herbology, History of Magic, and Muggle Studies. And we won't talk about his pitiful Runes OWL {*coughTrollcough*}
Though his truly brilliant performance on his OWL examinations made Dominic to slack off a bit during his sixth year. Nothing truly remarkable happened, with the exception of helping Hufflepuff to win the Quidditch Cup for the first time in like six years. Oh and the fact that he and Willow Kovac kissed.
During Dominic's seventh and final year, he was named Head Boy, which proved in itself to be a rather busy yet egocentric filled year for the young Hufflepuff. Not to mention his counterpart, aka Head Girl, was Evolette McKenna so between the duo, things were quite interesting. Nevermind the fact that just before the year began, Dominic was cornered by Evolette and Willow Kovac, which the former pretty much made the latter tell Dominic not to ever speak to her again since he kissed her and then never bothered to write the whole summer. And despite himself, he held to true that, except no matter what, he could not stop THINKING of Willow Kovac.
After Hogwarts, Dominic studied at Wizarding University (in Cairo) for a year, not knowing what else to do. Returning to London in 2071, he obtained a position in the Gobstones Division of the Department of Magical Games & Sports at the Ministry of Magic, in which he continued to work there for the next two years before growing bored of the work. Not knowing what else to do, he returned to Wizarding University (in London this time) for one semester. It is through one particular professor this term that he was able to gain insight to a career opportunity at Gringotts Wizarding Bank: as Junior Stock Broker, with room for advancement. Starting at the end of January 2075, Dominic began his new job at the grand Wizarding bank.
{Role Models}
Caleum Myers: Former DADA Professor
Macadrian Shackleton: Former Arithmancy Professor and Hufflepuff Head of House
Ethan Truebridge: Former History of Magic and DADA Professor
{Extra}
During Dominic's fifth year, he acquired in his possession two books from Ethan Truebridge, the first was a book of Shakespearian sonnets and the second was Sun Tzu's Art of War, where should he ever cross someone's path who needs them, then he was instructed to pass them on.

ABOUT ME
Loud and ambitious, Gideon always seems to know the right things to say at the right time. He likes to be heard AND seen, which being the baby in the family also helps contribute to his desire to always be the center-of-attention.
I'm a fan of jokes, good conversations, teasing my big sister Daphne, playing quidditch beater, genuinely having a good time. But I do not care for cocky attitudes unless they're my own

History
Gideon MacNeil was born to Matthew and Cali MacNeil in Glasgow, Scotland on March 26th. He is considered to be both the troublemaker and the philanthropist between the MacNeil siblings. His parents always had such high expectations for him, considering he played as beater for five years on the Slytherin house team, not to mention achieving the rank of Head Boy in his seventh year.
However, despite those expectations, upon graduating Hogwarts in 2048, Gideon disappeared from his whole family and friends entirely for the next 25 years. Rumor had it that he went undercover for the Ministry or worse, was killed. Some said he ran off with Bridgette, a girl he had been seeing on and off during their last two years of school. But when Bridgette reappeared after a year, that rumor was shot down. He didn't even know of his nieces; however, he was vaguely aware of when his sister was pregnant with Millie right before his two and a half decade-long disappearance. Daphne needed her kid brother more than anything, particular five years prior when Travis was killed. She prayed for his safe return soon because she feared for her daughters growing up without a fatherly image. This was testimony to how they truly did like each other, despite their constant bickering and teasing.
Twenty-five years later and still without much change in his fun-loving, joking demeanor, Gideon returned to London in hopes of reconciling where all else was lost. In hopes of perhaps meeting and guiding his two grown nieces, presuming they wanted him in their life still. Using his skills in which he had gained over the past twenty-five years, plus his joyful, carefree personality, Gideon applied to Gringotts as a cursebreaker without any knowledge that one of his nieces actually worked there. He got the job at the bank, but not specific to curse-breaking; rather he could be working anywhere within the well-known bank. It didn't matter because he was closer to the family he'd never really known.

ღ Hair: Wavy, voluminous, medium brown, and [just past] shoulder-length, with long bangs
ღ Eyes: Small, grayish-blue
ღ Build: Average, perhaps slightly pudgy.
ღ Height: 5'6"
Quite different from the young girl she once was, Millie now finds comfort wearing a simple pair of blue jeans and dressy top, paired with classy low heels. When she was younger, she thrived on dressing up, but now that it is the rare occasion. Low heels and jeans might even be considered her best friends.

ABOUT ME
Millie is a quiet, but pleasantly sweet young woman and without a doubt has a good head on her shoulders. Preferring modestly casual attire rather than expensive, she is a down-to-earth woman with a belief in happy ever afters. Except that one her faults is despite her quiet and reserved self, once she gets going, she can't stop. As in, she'll have this tendency to babble or snort loudly, two horribly bad habits that unfortunately come naturally (and she hasn't figured out how to make them seem attractive yet).
I'm a fan of books, music, dancing in the rain, chocolate, sweet dreams, inspirational conversations, NEWS!, my half-sister Katrina, my friends (the few I have), jogging, happily ever afters, fairy tales. But I do not care for rudeness
Some of my aspirations include
ღ Being a successful, high-functioning witch

ღ Failing at life

History
Millicent Walsh was born to Daphne and Ian Walsh, as the clock struck midnight on September 1st. Millie actually had no idea that she and Katrina weren't full-fledged sisters until she was about seven. She had been looking through an old family photo album when she came across a picture of Kat and an unfamiliar man (Kat's biological father). Being the inquisitive mind that she was, she asked Kat about him. Kat - then fifteen - took one look and sighed, wrapping her arms around her younger sister and explained how that was her father, Travis LaGlacier. Unfortunately, when Kat was just a baby, Travis was killed in car accident on his way home from an emergency situation at St Mungos. Travis was a mediwizard at the Wizarding Hospital, whereas Daphne was a healer, which was how they had ultimately met and fell madly in love.
Thinking that she could never find true love again, Daphne set off to raising Katrina on her own. They moved to a small studio apartment in London and made it through. Until one day, seven years after the tragic death of her first husband, Daphne met Ian Walsh: entrenpreneur and broom maker. It wasn't instant love, but after a couple dates, Daphne found herself falling for him. Five months after they originally met, they were married. A month later, Millie was conceived.
Millie always kept with her an inquisitive mind and a thirst for knowledge, which is why, when it came her turn to attend Hogwarts, unlike her half sister, Kat, she was sorted into Ravenclaw. Just as before Hogwarts, Millie remained true to herself as she delved more into books and less into people. With the exception of one girl, whom she met in her year/house, Roxy who became somewhat of a close confident to her.
Upon graduating Hogwarts, Millie had no idea of anything about her future. Though she did know three things: one, she liked managing and organizing things; two, she was curious minded; and three, she planned on getting married, but still had not found the right guy.
So as she hadn't a clue about her future, Millie decided to attend the local Wizarding University for a couple years in London. Studying cooking with potions among a variety of other subjects, she felt much undermined by her half-sister's successes as a curse-breaker. Which is why - following in her sister's footsteps - Millie found a job as an assistant in a shop in Diagon Alley. Though unlike her sister who worked at Florean's, Millie was hired at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.

Name: Adam Emmerson Date of Birth: May 28th 2047 Age: 26 Years attended Hogwarts (or other school): 2058-2065 Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff Current Occupation: Scribbulus Ever Changing Inks Shopkeeper Assistant Previous Occupation(s): Worked in a Wizarding ice cream shop in France Eye Color: Blue Hair: Dark Brown Height: 6'2'' Marital Status: Single Friends: None yet. Personality: He's like a puppy. He's loving, and caring, and loyal. He's the kind of person you just wanna cuddle. He hates when people are rude and altogether mean. And he reminds anyone- be it a stranger or family- that he will always be there for them. He's willing to stick up to anyone who's given a friend trouble. But he's also always willing to give someone he's had a quarrel with a second chance. History: He's a wizard from Ireland. His mom was a witch and his dad a Muggle. He grew up in a completely magical household, though, because his mom never kept her magic a secret from her husband. His dad embraced this new culture, reading all the magical books he could find.
At age 11, he received his letter of acceptance into Hogwarts where he was sorted into Hufflepuff. He spent his seven years there keenly studying the magical arts. He loved most all his studies, sticking with every lesson until he graduated. He only really disliked Defense Against the Dark Arts, only because he hated the thought of ever having to use those spells in a real life situation, but he appreciated the usefulness of it.
Upon graduation, he traveled across Europe, spending the majority of his time in France. There, he learned French and had a long term girlfriend.
Unfortunately, she wasn't everything he had hoped. When his mom sent him an owl that his Muggle father was ill, his girlfriend ended the relationship.
He returned to London, where his family had moved after he left school and took a job at Scribbulus Ever Changing Inks to help pay for the Hopsital bills.
Scribbulus, however, wasn't Adam's ideal job, though he liked working in Diagon Alley. When he heard there was an open position in Gringotts (much more grand in his eyes), he jumped at the position.

Professor Pink | Mrs. Bruce Wayne | I'm on a Goat | Glitterpuff | Dumbledore's Defense Squad | BHB
Name: Duncan Mundungus Fletcher Goes by: Fletcher, just Fletcher Date of Birth: December 25, 2055 Age: 21 going on 15 Years attended Hogwarts: 2071-2074 (came in as a 5th year) Hogwarts House: HUFFLEPUFF
Current Occupation: Tattoo Parlor Owner/Shopkeeper and Reigning Triwizard Champion Previous Occupation: Child pickpocket; "Worker" at a "Shop" in an "Undisclosed Location" for his adoptive father; Gringotts Intern; Gringotts Curse-Breaker.
Eye Color: Dark Brown Hair: Thick, brown, tidily cut Height: 6'12' Marital Status: Married (as of July 13, 2076). SORRY, LADIES. *wink* Family: Twin brother, Jackson Riding; Wife, Rae Lilyan Skye-Fletcher; Daughter, Mallory Skye (born March 15, 2076).
Background: Allegedly born in Ireland to a Muggle mother and a Wizard father, Fletcher’s "parents" separated before he was even old enough to attend primary school. His mother had custody of "Dunc" (as she calls him) and, despite occasional explosive snatches of magic, the boy attended Irish Muggle schools up until she remarried around his 13th birthday. A slow bloomer as far as his magical side goes, Fletcher didn’t show many Wizarding tendencies until his stepfather started to interfere in the boy’s favorite… ah, after-school activities. Finding himself unwelcome at home after a few disciplinary misunderstandings, the boy moved in with his sketchy Wizard father in 2071 and has "lived" with the con man just outside of London ever since.
During his sixth term at Hogwarts, much to his surprise, Fletcher learned that he had a twin from whom he had been separated at birth. As shocking as this news was, the Hufflepuff and his Slytherin twin hatched plans to find his biological parents after graduation. Despite the fact that he is technically not at all related to any of the famous Fletcher scum, Duncan still prefers to go by his shifty surname. After all, Fletcher, just Fletcher, sounds cooler for a reigning Triwizard Champion, doesn't it?
After winning the Triwizard Tournament, Fletcher began an internship the summer before his seventh year at Gringotts Wizarding Bank. He learned all the minutate of the banking process and even how to use clankers to keep the dragons in line. After graduating, Fletcher continued his work for Gringotts, moving quickly up the ranks to a junior curse-breaker.
While on a curse-breaking mission to Peru, Fletcher found out that his girlfriend, Rae, was expecting their first child. He also received the wonderful news of a promotion to full Curse-Breaker and happily accepted the raise that came with it. On the day their daughter, Mallory Skye Fletcher, came home from the hospital, Fletcher finally proposed to Rae and she accepted. They married on July 13, 2076 in a beautiful lakeside ceremony near their cozy home.
With a family at home, a beautiful baby daughter to take care of, and a very persuasive wife, Fletcher decided to start looking for safer employment options than curse-breaking. He saw opportunity in a run-down shop at the North end of Diagon Alley and pounced upon it, renovating the decaying building and turning it into a shiny, hip new Tattoo Parlor. It has always been Fletcher's dream to be a big-wig billionaire and now, as a small business owner, he may well be on his way to making his dreams come true. As long as he doesn't give any kiddies tattoos and maintains a steady stream of customers, Fletcher will be able to keep his investors, his wife, and himself happy still at work in Diagon Alley.
Personality: Fletcher doesn't want you to know more than you need to - and what you need to know is nothin'. In public, Fletcher is generally polite and friendly toward most people unless you're one who has already done something to grind his gears. He tries (sometimes too hard) to be sweet and charming for the pretty ladies but usually winds up being either annoying or funny-stupid (not on purpose) for everyone else.
Not one much for talking except for joking or bragging, Fletcher (don’t even try calling him Duncan) tends to live by the philosophy that actions speak louder than words.
And his actions are certainly interesting.
Extra, Extra! Read all about it here or even here.

Reason: update done? :D
Full Name: Oliver Greenwood Age | Date of Birth : 19 | 31st May Occupation: Shop Assistant at Florean Fortescue's Hogwarts House: Slytherin Star sign: Gemini Nationality: English / Scottish Heritage: Half Blood Strongest Subject: Flying Weakest Subject: Transfiguration Patronus: Spider Monkey Wand: 17 inch, Maple with Granian Feather Core. Bendy. Positions held at School: Played Chaser and subbed as Seeker in his fifth year on the Slytherin Quidditch team; Sixth Year: Slytherin Quidditch Captain; Seventh Year: Head Boy
Family Father: Emmanuel Greenwood Mother: Tallulah Broadmoor Step-Mother: Frances Rosier Greenwood (deceased) Half Siblings: Nathan (34), Ewan (26) , Elijah (25), James (22), Liam (21), and Emily (20)
Background and History
Oliver's existence started in a (blink and you'd miss it) fleeting affair between his father, Emmanuel, an old school style pureblood wizard, and his mother, Tallulah, a half blood witch.
He was brought up in the muggle world by his mother in a single parent home and as an only child. At the age of eleven, circumstance changed, which forced him to move in with his father. A half-brother and half-blood, living in a pureblood environment with so many siblings, Oliver struggled to make himself heard. His loud, often tactless persona could very well be as a result of this. He hasn't seen his mother for 7 years now.
Luckily for Oliver, the year he moved in with his father was also the year he was to start school. He was packed off to Durmstrang in the hopes that the regimented, military routine of the school would 'knock some sense into him'. The school was in fact a blessed escape from home for Oliver. The reasons he left Durmstrang are unclear, and those who ask are likely to be met with a dismissive shrug, or a completely different version of events every time he tells the story.
Hogwarts proved to be been great for Oliver. He adapted quickly to the laid back approach and has matured and mellowed over the three years he attended there. A gifted sportsman, he was Quidditch Captain in his sixth year, and his qualities as a fair and understanding leader became apparent quickly. In his seventh year at school he was made Head Boy (which confused him no end as to why anyone would think he was suitable), and approached the role calmly and maturely.
He graduated from school this Summer with disappointingly average NEWT grades. Not high enough to get into uni, he set out with determination to find a job to tide him over until he can resit the exams in a year. He accepted a job at Florean Fortescue's and moved out of home as soon as he knew he would have a steady income. He is busy searching for an apartment with his girlfriend of two years, Cameron Caddock.
Personality (The Light Side) – Oliver is usually found with a bright smile on his face. An optimistic sort who seems to be able to find a joke in any situation. He is an intelligent boy and will turn his hand to anything, not afraid of failing along the way. He cares deeply for those who care about him and has no qualms about telling them. His open and sarcastic way of looking at the world can be amusing to those who understand him. He is inquisitive and curious and isn't afraid to explore new things and ideas. He can be cunning when it suits him and sees this as a positive feature which he uses to get what he wants out of certain situations. Never one to hold a grudge, he is forgiving and can instantly forget an argument once apologies have been uttered. He can talk his way out of a paper bag most situations.
(The Dark Side) – Obnoxious and irritating are the first words that spring to mind on first encounters with Oliver. An ego the size of Jupiter, a sarcastic wit and answer for everything, Oliver has the frustrating fondness for winding people up to the point of explosion for no other reason than to pass the time.
He suffers from ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) which means his boredom threshold is low and this partnered with his curiosity pave the way for some pretty reckless behaviour.
Appearance
Tall and extremely skinny with a pale complexion. Oliver has a pair of sparking, mischievous green eyes which he searches the world through. He stands head and shoulders above most of his peers. His hair is a dark mop of unruly curls that seem to somehow echo his erratic personality.
Freak Show Pets Mrs Spider – A grey.. Chipider? Involved in a transfiguration accident, Oliver decided the poor once tarantula looked 'waaaay cooler and unique' and decided to leave her as a half spider / half chipmunk. Muppet – A crup... dog.. er.. not quite sure thing.

Father: Terence Pendra Mother: Beatrice Pendra (née Laroche) Sister: Magdalena Braud (born August 2044)
{APPEARANCE}
Height: 5'4'' (163cm) Hair: Ginger Eyes: Gray
{PERSONALITY}
Completely living up to the common belief of redheads having fiery tempers, Valentina is known for her sudden and often also rather extreme mood swings. Sarcasm is her best friend. Unlike her older sister, she is easily angered if she doesn't get her way or is under the impression that people are ignoring her. Even though, this character trait may lead to her coming across as snobbish and self-centered on the outside, as soon as you get to know her you soon realize that this part of her is just an act and not her real self. However, until you REALLY get to know her you might not be allowed to see her other side.
{HISTORY}
Both of Valentina's grandparents were absolutely obsessed with heritage and therefore managed to arrange a wedding between Beatrice Laroche and Terence Pendra. Luckily, the two got along quite well, however never experienced the feeling of true love for one another, leaving them being more like close friends rather than a couple. As was expected of her, Beatrice gave birth to two baby girls, Magdalena and Valentina, whom they raised lovingly, trying their hardest to keep them away from any influence of their grandparents.
Valentina and Magdalena both enjoyed a bilingual education, what with their British father and French mother only speaking in their respective mothertongue with them. Even though, Terence wanted the children to go to Hogwarts, it was finally decided to send them to Beauxbatons, where Valentina stayed even after she was done with her obligatory years at the school to assist the Potions Mistress.
While Magdalena had moved to Finland with her spouse, Valentina suddenly received a visit from her grandparents informing her that they had found the perfect partner for her. Which was when the redhead quit her job to move to Bristol, taking her far from reluctant parents with her.

■□PERSONALITY & History■□
Ryoma is wise cracking, uncoordinated, loud-mouthed, and a bit pompous to boot. Until the age of fifteen, Ryoma resided with his family of five older sisters, his overpowering mother, and reserved father…so one can only imagine the torture that he must have endured while growing up. Ryoma has a habit of not being the brightest crayon in the box. He's fairly blunt, and tends not to think before acting or talking. He's also a bit dense in the sense that he doesn't catch onto things quickly. He's far from being stupid, mind you! It just so happens that he's more of an emotional, instinctual character than an intelligent one, and prefers brawns over brains. Which can get him into trouble… Upon turning 15, Ryoma left his home in Sapporo and moved into an apartment alone in Tokyo where he learned to fend for himself and gained a strong sense of responsibility.
In school, Ryoma had a group of friends that called themselves the Bandits and were always causing some sort of chaos around school. Being the leader of this group, Ryoma was the biggest trouble maker but learned how to be sneaky enough to avoid his professors’ gazes. He is very athletic and had his sights set on making the pros in Quidditch, but that dream went down the drain when, in his final year at school, he broke the noses of several of the opposing team’s players. With his future as a Quidditch player gone, he instead got a job working for the Japanese Ministry of Education. An advid gambler, Ryoma couldn’t resist playing the field whenever he was in a match’s attendance and was asked to leave the Ministry and seek work elsewhere. He came to London, mostly because his sisters forced him out of the house, hoping to find work in the British Ministry, but instead found himself working at an assistant and bartender in the Leaky Cauldron for two years before he took over running it himself.

Basil was always one of the loud sarcastic kids who displayed an immature sort of personality as a means to make up for his short stature - being only 4'11" (149 cm) at age 15 - and earned himself the title of 'ClownPuff' after his first year. Not an especially gifted student, the only subjects that Basil really stood out in were Ancient Runes and Transfiguration.
After graduating from Hogwarts, Basil's tendency to be impatient and an inability to sit still for long caused him to forgo university and instead traveled the world as a freelance writer. After globetrotting for several years, he eventually decided that he should return to school and attended Wizarding University in Edinburgh, Scotland where he graduated with degrees in Rune Studies, Journalism/Literature Studies, and Wizarding Communications while also getting his feet wet in Business Administration & Management.
Basil's Napoleonic denial of his shortness unfortunately never went away as even as an adult he barely reached 5'5" (165 cm). Just as in his Hogwarts days, this made his personality even more larger than life and he vowed to make a name for himself and went on to graduate from Cuffe University School of Journalism on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in the United States.
Expecting GREAT things of himself when he returned to England, Basil was sorely disappointed when the only job he could find was as a journalist for Witch Weekly. He still threw himself into his work and slowly made his way to the top within the publication, but he dreamed of working for somewhere 'more worthy of his time' which is precisely why he jumped at the opportunity to work at the Daily Prophet as Editor-in-Chief.

Reason: adding something *le shifty*
My name is Veronica Persephone Lafay You can call me Veronica. I don't do nicknames. I am thirty-eight years old. My parents are both purebloods and former Slytherins. I was born in Scotland, Great Britain. I currently live in Hogsmeade, Scotland, Great Britain My birthday is on January 31, 2037. I'm the current Knockturn Alley Assistant. You can see that I am a female. You could say I ran with the crowd at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. My wand is TBD. My patronus is TBD. My boggart is TBD.
APPEARANCE +Hair: Brown +Eyes: Hazel +Build: Fairly tall with a small frame +Height: 5'8" +General appearance: A former model, Veronica stands at a fairly tall five feet eight inches. She has long, brown hair, which she sometimes highlights or colors completely blonde. At the moment, she's keeping her hair its natural shade of brown, though. Because of the many years she put in as a model, Veronica's fashion sense is always up-to-date and, when she can afford it, always top of the line. At the moment, she rarely can afford the best of the best, but she's brought with her to Great Britain a large selection of clothes left over from her time with her boyfriend or her years as a model. She's not known to smile often and is a very serious, no-nonsense person. She can sometimes come across as harsh and cold, which helps her fit right in with the crowd that frequents Knockturn Alley.
AN IN-DEPTH LOOK
ABOUT ME/HISTORY
In late January (the very last day of the month) in the year 2037, Lucien and Narys Lafay gave birth to what was then their fourth child and third daughter. They named her Veronica Persephone Lafay, and the child would later become the fourth of a grand total of nine children (five sons and four daughters). Veronica spent the first part of her childhood learning early on that life isn't fair, we rarely get what we want and rarely have what we need, and that distancing herself from others would frequently save her from heartache.
She was home-schooled up until the age of eleven, where she became one of the only two Lafay children to attend Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. During summer vacations and Christmas breaks, she always came home to be looked after by her older sister of five years, Hecate. In the year 2055, Veronica graduated from Beauxbatons with not an idea in this world of where she wanted to go or what she wanted to do with her life. Her boyfriend of three years and fellow Beauxbatons graduate, Philippe Abney, offered her the opportunity of moving with him to a flat in Paris, where he'd pursue a career in photography.
At eighteen-years-old, Veronica left the home she'd always known and moved with Philippe to Paris, France. For the first three years of her new life, Veronica worked as a waitress at a little café around the corner from where Philippe was studying photography. She would pose for pictures as part of study projects her boyfriend was involved in. A few of these photos, unbeknownst to her, even ended up in one of the magazines Philippe was interning for. These shoots led to Philippe eventually helping Veronica obtain a deal she found too good to pass up. Philippe had been hired to work as a photographer at a very popular wizarding magazine company, and he helped get Veronica a job there as a model. Excited at the opportunity to quit her job at the café and work closer to Philippe, Veronica accepted the offer.
Although the job wasn't as glamorous and excited as she'd imagined it to be, she continued to work there as she believed she had nowhere else to go. She'd come to know no other life than being with Philippe and taking on the identity as "Philippe's Girlfriend" rather than discovering her true self. She lived this way for twenty years, from age eighteen until age thirty-eight. Because of the fact that she was nearing her forties, the magazine company released her from her modeling job, and she was left with nothing to do but return to small jobs like cafés and boutiques. She never could earn enough money, though, and this led to arguments with Philippe that eventually distanced the two. He was growing closer to a much younger model who had years left with the company he still worked for, and he and Veronica eventually split. On the day that she left him, he walked her to the door with a cold, "See ya," and then she boarded a train and headed back to her birthplace of Great Britain.
With the small amount of money she had with her, she set up rent for a small cottage in Hogsmeade, Scotland. She managed to get a job working as an assistant in Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. She figured working at a clothes shop would be most similar to the jobs she's always known, and she figured it'll at least be something to make ends meet until she can get back on her feet. However, even the need for money wasn't enough to keep Veronica working at the clothes shop. After working at the shop for only one summer, she decided that slaving to help overly-needy children get their school clothes just wasn't her thing. She retreated to the dark shadows of Knockturn Alley, where she met up with a ghost from her past and found work being employed as his assistant.
I'm fairly fond of the color green, shopping when I have the money, clothes, shoes, jewelry, modeling, and *sigh* Philippe Abney. (More to come as I continue playing her and discover more about her.)
But I do not care for the colors pink and purple, running out of money, being made to feel as if I'm useless and too old to be of importance anymore, being overly nice and friendly, being mistaken for my sisters, and *sigh* Philippe Abney. (More to come as I continue playing her and discover more about her.)
Some of my aspirations include
+ Forgetting Philippe Abney forever.
+ Getting myself back on my feet and finding my true identity.
+ Believing that I'm worth something and am still of importance.
+ Discovering the career that's right for me and not just taking on small jobs here and there.
A few fears sometimes get in the way
+ Letting Philippe Abney run my life again.
+ Running completely out of money and being forced to rely on someone else again.
+ Never discovering who I truly am or what I'm meant to do with my life.
+ Failure with anything or failure with life in general.
+ Reliving my past.
FURTHER MORE
My family is large and Merlin only knows where at this point. +The Parents: Lucien Lafay Sr. and Narys Lafay +The Siblings: Lucien Lafay (born 2026); Nerys Lafay (born 2029); Hecate Lafay (born 2032); Solara Lafay (born 2038); Alrich Lafay (born 2039); Elrich Lafay (born 2039); Ulrich Lafay (born 2039); and Zorander Lafay (born 2041). +The Boyfriend: ...is someone I recently split from.
+The pets: Does any part of my life really indicate to you that I have room for pets in my life?
EXTRA! EXTRA!
Had she gone to Hogwarts rather than Beauxbatons, Veronica would have likely been sorted into Slytherin house. She has all the traits of a true Slytherin; and despite the fact that she once lived her life around Philippe Abney, she never once lost her ambition or will to become a better person. Now that she's broken free of Phillipe Abney, she's more ambitious now than ever before as she searches for her own place in the magical world. Because of certain hardships and letdowns she's faced in her life, she looks at nearly everyone as if they were out to get her and regards most with a cold shoulder. She rarely smiles, and she laughs on even fewer occasions. She's making a huge attempt to better her life, though, and knows she has to work hard on her natural traits and characteristics to keep her job at Madam Malkin's.

Name: Frida Läckra Age: 18 DOB: April 11th POB: Stockholm, Sweden Eye Colour: Blue-green Hair: Blond Height: 5’11 Status: Pureblood Current Residence: Marylebone, London.
History:
Born to parents Erik and Sigrid, Frida is the eldest child of the Läckra family, and the sister to her only brother, Halsten.
Frida grew up very much a daddies’ girl; often trekking with Erik into the surrounding areas of Stockholm, the fields and mountains of the countryside much more appealing her than the streets and houses of the capital.
When it came time for her education, she was sent to the only school of magic in Sweden, where she immediately excelled to the top of her classes; a favourite amongst staff and student. It was during her time at school that she discovered he aptitude for domestic charm magic, her cooking and cleaning spells were performed with finesse unseen in the school for an age. As quick with her brain as with her wand, she was often seen in heated debates with staff and classmates over topics that really got her mind going, however she was always happy to accept defeat, or be a gracious winner.
Her final year at school began with her brother Halsten falling ill and finished with her dubbed DUX of the graduating class, with a flawless O average in her exams.
It was her mother’s suggestion that she talk some time off from studying as the exams had lead her close to the edge of stress related breakdowns more than once. So when her father’s brother, Uncle Rolf offered his spare room in London she jumped at the chance, and soon after was lucky enough to get a summer job as the assistant to Sugarplum Sweet Shopkeeper, Mikhail.
Personality:
As her name suggests, Frida Läckra, is both beautiful and delicious in appearance and in personality! She has a kind heart and a kind smile, always willing to help anyone, no matter what the cost is to herself. It was during her final year when she was cramming for finals she still had time to be constantly in correspondence with her house-bound brother due to illness, even when he told her to focus she was still more concerned about him than her study schedule! Her flawless face is always seen wearing a beaming smile that is pure and honest!

Kaleigh keeps her answers short and frigid, and she never reveals personal information, she is a very secretive person.
HISTORY
Kaleigh has always been favored by her mother, and while she knew her father took the slightest favor in her younger sister, Kaleigh sought refuge with the mother. They were alike in almost every way. And there became a dislike for her father and her sister. Kaleigh woke up one morning to her sister Alicia Rae screaming. Alicia Rae had found their father dead, and so she took off begging Kaleigh to leave with her, saying that it was their mother who had killed their father. Kaleigh could not leave her mothers side. Since then Kaleigh has remained a faithful and loyal daughter to Vienna. Recently, as in three-ish years ago, Vienna had no choice but to send Alicia Rae the will of their father, leaving her the money and an old estate. Vienna and Kaleigh were left nothing in the will.

PERSONALITY
Rae is normally a really easy person to get along with. She rarely makes enemies. Calm most of the time, if her thoughts get in the way though, she tends to go to extreme measures to clear her mind of them. Now that Rae is out of school she seems to be maturing faster but still has her fun kid side as well.
HISTORY
Having a difficult childhood, Rae found her father dead one morning as he was killed by her mother. She fled the house leaving her cold-hearted mother and sister behind. From age 10 to age 13 she was homeless, sleeping on the streets of London in the summer and returning to Hogwarts during the school season. Rae learned how to take care of herself, how to steal, how to heal wounds the muggle way, and how to be alone. She finally received her father's will when Rae was 13. Raziel left his daughter a hefty sum of family money and an old vacation home that Raziel used to take Kaleigh and Rae to when they were little.
Rae moved into the house with best friend Evelyn Rose Flores-Shepard. In her fourth year at Hogwarts her good friend and long time crush Duncan Fletcher entered the Tri-wizard Tournament and won. Between the second and third task was when the two of them got together though. That summer Fletcher moved into the "Revelyn" home with the girls. Things went great for a while, with friends over each summer for parties and swims at the lake. After Rae's sixth term, Evelyn's boyfriend Josh Carter moved into the house for one year.
Now Rae has graduated, and Josh Carter has moved out to stay with his uncle, while her friend Evelyn works on some secret summer "job." Fletcher decided to take a year with Gringott's to work in another country.
Yes, Rae has her father's wealthy inheritance. However, she knows that she can not live off of that money forever. After being hired at Eeylop's Rae got pretty excited about working.
Just recently, Rae found out she was PREGNANT! She is due on March 15th 2076, with a baby that she has NO IDEA what the gender is yet. Rae thinks it would be best to keep the gender a surprise until the right moment where she could know. Working with a baby on the way? That's just a new experience....
To be continued.....

Name: Zachary Buckley Nickname: Zak Age: 18 Date of Birth: January 13th Place of Birth/Residence: London, England Hair: Brown Eyes: Brown Height: 5'7 Blood Status: Pureblood
History:
Zak was born the middle of 3 sons, in London. He like most middle children, was never attention grabbing, after some years, he learned his place was always going to be overseen, as His older brother and younger brother always seemed to gain the most attention.
He, like all the others in his family, was enrolled in Hogwarts, and placed, like all the others of his family, in Hufflepuff. There he was quiet, never speaking up, And usually failing at most Practical spell work. Zak was never the best with a wand, but his writings were always above average and let him slip by, unnoticed in the Practical portions of most classes.
It was for this, that Zak now aspires as a writer rather than other occupations that his parents had offered. Though he now works as a Shop assistant, Zak is under the impression that this is only a temporary job, and it will pass once he becomes a famous Novelist.
Personality:
Zak is usually very shy and quiet, mostly listening rather than talking. If you speak to him, more often than not he will respond, but he will never start conversations out of no where, given something to speak about.
Family:
Mother: Erica Buckley
Father: James Buckley
Brother(older): Jesse Buckley
Brother(younger): Michael Buckley

Reason: Adding Picture, and other info
Nickname: Wes Age: 27 DoB: January 17th PoB: San Francisco, California PoR: London, England Former House: Ravenclaw Year: Graduated Blood Status: Halfblood Occupation: Flourish and Blotts assistant Relationship Status: Single Friends: Currently none
Eye color: Brown Hair color: light brown Skin tone: somewhat tan Height: 5’10 Weight: 162 Ethnicity: American-English
Personality: Wesley is a very shy, awkward man. He comes across as somewhat timid at first, which he is, and of course, very awkward. He often can not complete his sentences without using the phrases, uh, erm, heh or hm. Once you get past all of that, he can be a very sweet, caring person. He enjoys reading and one would most likely find him in the corner delved deeply into some sort of mystery novel. Being somewhat of a stereotypical book worm, Wesley doesn’t really enjoy the outdoors. He’d much rather be comfortable in his own home, curled up under a blanket reading by himself. Wes is also somewhat of a loner-type, although he does get on with people quite well.
History: From a young age, Wesley had always enjoyed books. But back then, he had also loved being outdoors. Wesley was born in San Francisco, California and lived there until he was about nine. He hated it there and still does today and it was all because of one horrible evening that occurred there.
When he was about eight, his mother and father decided to take him on a camping trip, seeing as little Wesley had started a muggle “club” called boys scouts. He of course, was beyond excited and begged his parents to invited the entire gang of boys scouts and their parents. They of course obliged and a few weeks later, they set out with the ten other pairs of parents. Sadly, after their first night there, a large grizzly bear visited their camp site. Breaking the wands of his parents in the process of trampling their tents and raiding their bags, the bear had not yet finished. He was still hungry. Quickly finding Wes’ mother, the bear attacked, leaving Wes and his father without a wife nor mother.
A year later, when Wesley turned nine, they left, moving back to England, where Greyson and Janine were originally from. His father was overcome with grief and heartache, blaming himself for the horrible event and was eventually sent away leaving little nine year old Wesley with his aunt and uncle on his fathers side, both of which were muggles. He then of course, received the normal schooling at Hogwarts.
After his time at Hogwarts, his muggle aunt and uncle got him an internship at their local zoo, where the two of them had jobs. Wesley of course, did not enjoy it. As soon as he could, he got out of there and eventually got a job at the local muggle bookstore. In between there, just after the internship was over, he got his own flat in London and lives there alone. And now, after feeling the need for a scenery change, he applied for a job at Flourish and Blotts, where he hopes to be for a good amount of time.

In a few words, Cliff is quick-witted, strict, yet often, he can be quite the entertainer, which is somewhat strange for an Avalon. Cliff’s not usually good with children, so it’s no surprise that he doesn’t really like them. But that’s probably because he just doesn’t know how to act around them. Strangely enough, he does understand the fact that children should never get hurt in any way, shape, or form because they will instantly start the water works and that only makes him feel more weird and uncomfortable and.. He never knows how to make it stop. So, that’s why he’s always loved jobs where he didn’t have to see children. Or if he did, they were on the other side of the counter and FAR away from him.
Cliff is usually known to be a happy guy, very different from two out of the four brothers. Around people his own age, or ‘grow-ups’ he can be very social and enjoys conversing with other people. Despite this, some people often call him close-minded. Though, that’s sort of what made him a good lawyer. When he feels strongly about something, or when he knows he’s right, Cliff will not back down until the other person admits that he is wrong, and apologize. Unfortunately, that usually gets him into trouble.
as we break and we bend and we turn it inside out to take it back to the start { history } - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Born into the Avalon family as the second eldest, and first middle child, didn’t have all that much effect on Cliff as a person. Sure, just like any other middle child he was forgotten and received less attention than that of his elder brother ad his youngest brother, but Cliff didn’t mind. He was never an attention hog. He never cared for that sort of thing. Though, he wasn’t exactly the quietest child, he definitely wasn’t the loudest. That title happily goes to Brantley. His parent’s had never been good at raising their children, so it seemed as though the young Avalons raised themselves. Cliff took on the protective role, because his older brother, Dawson, could not be bothered with his younger siblings. But eventually he grew tired of the role (especially when his younger brothers cried) and gave up, but that wasn’t until his fifth year at Beauxbatons.
His parents had both gone to Beauxbatons, and were delighted, for once, when young Clifford asked if he could go there, instead of Hogwarts. So of course, the helped him get in. His years there were somewhat average. If you call being relatively popular and well known average, then that‘s what it was. During his times there, he enjoyed debating with other students on important topics and playing quidditch with his pals. Strangely enough, he also earned a prefect badge in his sixth year and worked hard to keep the school safe. He graduated near the top of his class, though- his parents neither noticed, nor cared. And this, only disappointed the eighteen year old boy. So, to cope, he found hobbies. One of which would be bird watching.
His father owned a bank in Wales, and each child had to work there. So of course, that’s where Clifford’s first job experience came in. He worked there during his summer years at Wizarding University, but after he graduated, he knew he didn’t want to work with muggles too much but decided to help out his father some, first. So, he went back to muggle schooling to learn how to become a lawyer; A bankruptcy lawyer. He moved through the system fast, quickly landing an internship under a lawyer named Roy Caldwell. At first, he was thrown into the mail room to sort out letters, as was normal with any new intern. He didn’t hate it, he actually kind of enjoyed it. But before he got a chance to really get into it, he was moved up from the mail room and into the office. During his time with Roy, he learned that the man also shared the same love of bird watching. The lawyer often took his apprentice on trips with him to various bird sanctuaries where they watched them together.
After the internship was over, he went to work for his father, as the company lawyer. Though it lasted a long time, Cliff grew tired of it and without his father’s blessing, quit and left the company, and began the search for a job. Now, missing the magical world, he found his way to Diagon Alley. Remembering that he had so much fun in a muggle mailroom, he began to wonder how much fun he could have in a magical one, causing him to apply for a job at the Owl Post Office.

As a child, she would get involved in fundraisers, sales, auctions of all sorts in her elementary school. When she was accepted into Beauxbatons, that ceased but over the summer she helped her father in his business which had to do with technology as an intern. Once she graduated she went to University of Magic for two years, spending her summers in various programs in business schools. She then took over for her father when he was sick, bringing up sales. For the following year, Jocelyn worked under her father, but was more involved than any of the other employees who looked down upon her. After she took over Scribbulus, she took up a job as an assistant in Florean Fortescue's, trying to be more... versatile, as her father says. Blood Status: Half-and-Half Marital Status: it's complicated.
What I Call “Junk Information”
Wand: 12.5 inches, cedar wood, dragon heartstring core, slightly springy Amortentia: parchment, the forest, mint, and a hint of lemon Boggart: Clowns with big sharp teeth. (… they’re really scary!) Patronus: Giraffe Animagus: Platypus Best Subject: Charms and Transfiguration Worst Subject: Divination and Herbology Likes: School, writing, art, business (which is an art), New York City, Airplanes, chocolate frogs, books, cars, walks by the beach (sappy? Yes.), relaxing, work (work is my relaxation), her feline friends, her younger brother & sister, feeding ducks in the city, window shopping, control, planning and strategizing, sky diving, mountain climbing, scuba diving, knitting. Dislikes: laziness, doing nothing, being bored, having idle hands, people who fidget a lot, Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Jelly Beans, her younger brother & sister, people at her father’s work place, people who look down on her, people who think her incapable of something, sunflowers, roses, poisonous plants, Mandrakes, mosquitoes, losing things Fears: Clowns, turning into some nobody, losing her sister and/or brother.
Mirrors Reflect All But the Inside
Height: 5 feet, 7 inches Weight: 119 lbs Skin Color: Normal colored Hair color: Blonde, but not stupid Eye Color: Blue Quick Description of Her Appearance: Jocelyn, when you first see her, appears to be a bit harsh at times. She can have a look that makes you feel worthless but it is all but what she looks. She much prefers laughing than having people afraid of her and enjoys conversation… as long as if the topic isn’t ridiculous. Jocelyn wears whatever is in, not because she wants to but because she has an appearance to keep up, particularly while in America where her mother grew up. Portrayed by: Lily Donaldson
The Dead, The Living, The Ones In Your Life
Mother - Karolyn Athena Greene (deceased, would’ve been 48 - Muggle) Father - Jeremy Michael Montague (56 ; Halfblood) Siblings - Jackie Artemis Montague (8) & Johnny Apollo Montague (8) Pets - A furry kitten named Mirage and an owl named Sunny
Everybody wants to grow up in the glam of the Big Apple, to be an upper east sider with privileges that no one else had. To walk down the streets of Chinatown and go “ewh, they’re so fake”. But Jocelyn Minerva Montague did not. To her such a way of life was disgusting, vile and uncalled for. She preferred staying at home, reading books, and reading the newspaper. Stocks interested her the most.
Her mother was a muggle, a true Upper East Side diva, but when Jocelyn was twelve, her mother rolled over and died from a heart disease. Jocelyn, quite heartless at the time, did not care too much about the death of her mother, after all, her mother was the one who criticized Jocelyn for wanting to work in business as opposed to being a socialite. Every time the subject came up, Jocelyn would scoff, roll her eyes, turn on her heel then walk away. She perfected the art of eye-rolling at the age of 7. When she was 7, things started to go downhill as well for the Montague family.
Jeremy, the father, had never told Karolyn, the mother, that he was a wizard and around that time was when Jocelyn first started displaying signs of magic. Karolyn flipped. What Jocelyn did was light the candles on the cake of her mother’s birthday without a lighter. Happy birthday Mommy dearest.
Jocelyn’s Hogwarts letter never came, and she was quite upset… especially since her father had told her many wonderful stories about the place. However, when she was tagging along with her father on his business trip to France, a letter fell out of the sky requesting her to attend Beauxbatons Academy of Magic.
Her mother was against her attending such a school, but Jeremy insisted as did Jocelyn so off to France Jocelyn went… to learn about magic.
Over the summer and holidays she would pop back over to New York… flying on an airplane that is. When Jocelyn went to elementary school in New York City, she would actively participate in the events they had… as long as it involved money. Jocelyn always did enjoy working with things that involved selling and earning profits, money and the works. Though it ceased when she entered Beauxbatons, Jocelyn would spend her summers at her father’s workplace helping out as an intern.
After graduating from Beauxbaton, she spent two years in the University of Magic. After those two years, her mother died and a few short months later, her father fell sick. Her siblings were only 4 at the time and stayed with a nanny while her father was recovering. Jocelyn took over for her father for the following year. She took a permanent position in her father’s business for a year before traveling to London to figure out what she wanted to do with her life… then it all became clear. She wanted to have her own shop.
You Don‘t Know Me but you‘re about to
Jocelyn may appear a bit mean at first but she isn’t. She just dislikes people slacking off, laziness and… being bored. She is full of energy and constantly wants something done. She dislikes those who think they know her because she looks like she’s privileged. She would like to ask them, what do they know about her. Nothing. Despite her being married to her job, she does enjoy getting out. Traveling has always appealed to her, but she never wanted to go on her own. There are some things she’ll never let anyone know about herself and she never intends to.
Jocelyn is a romantic at heart, she wants love but at the same time she rejects many. She’s a hard woman to please, especially when it comes to business. She has high expectations, she sets a high bar… that way no one else can break it. She is ambitious, a leader and she refuses to be “second best”; she’ll always be first.

Forget About the Family... Mother - Aurora Black Father - Matthew Zabini Step-father- Alex Riddle Pets - Kent, her pygmy puff. Hollie, her snowy owl. Clarke, her crup.
And Watch as I Take the World by Storm.
Whoever thought that Slytherins were cold, snobbish, stuck up purebloods were wrong. Dead wrong. Selena is one of the jumpiest Slytherins you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting. Her sugar frenzies might get quite tiring to some, but the world always seems happier through the eyes of a hyper person’s. It is quite odd seeing as her family is the complete opposite. Plus, most kids with divorced parents are depressed. She’s the opposite of depressed. But let’s start from the very beginning.
Aurora Black, her mother, and Matthew Zabini, her father, married thinking they would have the perfect life. The two were Hogwart sweethearts and their parents endorsed this relationship. So, naturally, the two married each other. However, Aurora decided to become a socialite while Matthew decided to take up the family business, dealing with the Zabini Enterprises and other companies. When Matthew had too much work, Aurora would complain. Matthew found this quite ridiculous because it wasn’t like Aurora did much work besides party planning anyways.
When Selena was at age seven the two divorced after two years of fighting. She had always leant more towards her father’s side but she knew that her father would be too busy to take care of her. Her mother then gained custody of the purple-eyed girl.
Aurora remarried to Alex Riddle and is now content though she is often shopping rather than being the motherly figure Selena always needed. Selena hated this and the fact that she had lost her old family. She grew quite a hatred for her family at this point. Selena got stuck with her stepfather's last name as well, though she doesn't want it. Over the holidays she rarely sees anyone, only sees them all during Christmas time. Selena's parents and stepfather are rarely ever there for her, but are a bit over protective so Selena hasn't been able to do many things. Selena thinks it’s a bit pointless because if she were to disappear for a few days, they wouldn’t notice.
Selena always needed the motherly attention every child needed. She didn’t get any from her mother. Selena grew up thinking she was full of flaws, her mother made sure of that. Aurora always corrected and scolded the girl, but now she knows better. Even if her mother hates her, even if her stepfather is never there, even if her father doesn’t bother to owl back, she knows now that she’s special and her mother was a fool for not realizing it.
And now, Selena's a bit strange, not really normal. At first she may come off a bit shy but once you get to know her she never shuts up. Selena's highly misunderstood at times, she's not exactly bad just because she's in Slytherin. Selena's actually quite nice. Selena hates to see people down... She has many secrets but she doesn't tell them to anyone out of fear of being judged and the feeling that she is being a bit of a hindrance. She's a very bubbly person though, after all her Hogwarts stuff. She's very hyper and loves her pets and all her friends. She is not one to back down from a challenge... some times. Selena can also be quite dramatic and random but she still won't be seen without sugar or her violet pygmy puff.
Now that she is out of Hogwarts, she is seeing what the world has to offer and continuing her plans of universal domination with or without her bestie.
Her Hogwarts Story
SPOILER!!: click
First Year;; This year definitely disappeared in a blink of an eye. Friends came and left, walking in and out of her life. This year was the first year of Selena's life where she felt truly happy, meeting most of her friends. Her first year was definitely a time of discovery where the sugar crazed girl realized she was more that just crazy in love with the sugar, but completely addicted to it as well. In that year she's watched her friends' hearts break, wrote in her diary and of course, jumped off the Giant Treehouse with her two bestest friends in the world - Emma and Maddie. During this time she also met Diggy Greenwood, a fifth year Slytherin, and fell in love with him, or well, she liked him an awful lot. She also gained another great friend, Alexandrie, however, their friendship seemed to have failed after a few incidents that she doesn't want to mention. Leaving her first year behind, taking with her the sweet memories, the purple-eyed Slytherin was off for her second year.
Second Year;; Selena wasn't really sure what happened in her second year. She found out she had a sister, oh yes, that had been some big and terrible news. And to make matters worse, her bestie Madeline "Maddie" Amelie Force-Trinity, left Hogwarts because her terrible mother made her. However, with each cloud there's always a silver lining. Though Selena cannot tolerate her family members, there was an exception to that, namely, Lily-Rose Riddle. Lily-Rose then arrived in Hogwarts, making Sel laugh even when she was feeling a bit bummed out. And oh the drama! The death of a student and a crazy hyper Emma Malfoy! Well, year two's over and Selena left with a smile. After all, after the triwizard tournament, Diggy had given her a promise ring. Given her mother was completely furious cutting off all contact with her friends over the summer, but she was alright because she had found someone who made her life feel complete.
Third Year;; Would it sound weird if Selena said she didn't remember what happened in her third year? She remembers moping about having to leave, she remembers her friends and hanging out, but really... nothing in particular.
Fourth Year;; Thanks to her mother she didn't attend Hogwarts for her fourth year.
Fifth Year;; In her fifth year, Selena did... next to nothing. She tried not to worry about her OWL's, instead, crammed last minute for them. She hopes she did well on it, though chances are - not really. This term, Selena has successfully taught her Pygmy Puff, Kent, how to balance properly on her head. Coming back to Hogwarts after a year of being gone was amazing and she enjoyed every minute she spent in Hogwarts. Emma and Selena pondered more about how they would take over the universe and Selena even cut Emma's hair. This term, she met a person she now hates with every single bone and DNA strand in her body and someone who owes her a lot of chocolate and is a lousy piggyback ride-giver. Selena is no less hyper, as a matter of fact, she might be even more hyper as the year went on. Selena enjoyed her term here where the only drama caused was from the mean, rude, disgusting thing of a girl bugging her. Yup. Life was good.
Sixth Year;;
Selena has started taking to her sixth year quite nicely. After a vacation and purchasing a new pet, she is just as hyper and as insane as before and working harder than ever. Quite seriously as well. She's starting to actually pay A LOT of attention to class and enjoying her work. Seriously, she never expected to be Prefect and now that she is one, she promises NOT to abuse the power. She crosses her heart and hopes not to lie and all that mumbo jumbo as well. This is also her first term being mentioned in the Aparecium, and is quite infuriated with that but doesn't mind too much. After all, the letter she sent to the Charms professor was definitely not her fault.
She participated in a play for something or the other. All she remembered was losing her nose. She rather liked that long green nose of hers. No matter though, Selena worked harder this term than she had since her second year. Selena was her normal little hyper self, named Prefect Pygmy Girl amongst other kooky names. She has enjoyed this term a lot, including trying out gobstones which she didn't suck MAJORLY at like she thought she would. The term has ended and Slytherin was in fourth place, but she doesn't mind because she still declares herself the most awesometastical person ever known to anyone.
Seventh Year;;
- coming in whatever -
