Welcome to Gaia! ::

Appearance:
Name: Gabrielle
Common Alias: 'god'
Age: Unknown
Race: Angel
Background: Though she is not the 'creator,' nor does she claim to be so, Gabrielle has been the leader of the angels for as long as anyone living can remember. She is the strongest of all the angels and holds power of all the generals and the Council of Elders. She is not directly involved with the Council's doings, but if she isn't happy with something they do she has the power to stop them. Gabrielle is also the elder sister of Lucifer, the fallen angel who rules the demons. Despite being the one to banish him, she constantly regrets losing her little brother, and a part of her hopes he'll return to the good side one day while larger part knows he won't. She does not control a sepcific legion; rather, she gives orders to the generals to pass on to their legions. She only participates in the actual fighting when she is not one-hundred per cent sure the general(s) in charge cannot handle it alone. Of course, if there were a chance that she could come across Lucifer in a battle, she would be there in an instant, but knowing that her brother is bound to his room keeps her from making a careless mistake. Like many high-ranking angels (usually female), Gabrielle has sworn a vow of chastity, though most men seem to be too intimidated by her power to approach her anyway.
Personality: Despite being so powerful, Gabrielle comes off as rather harmless the majority of the time. When it comes to the war, however, she can become scarily serious. She has a rather gentle personality and is good at handling people. It takes a lot to make her lose her temper, and the number of times she has done so are numbered. Though she seems somewhat optimistic, the woman is actually extremely realistic. Outside of the war room, she is rarely seen without a peaceful expression on her face. She dislikes talking about her brother unless it is necessary.
Weapons/Magic: An extremely adept magic user, she can use virtually any type of magic and very powerfully so. However, her best magic attacks take a long time to prepare, though the less-prepared ones can be powerful nonetheless. She is not quite as skilled with weapons, though she can wield a sword relatively well and has good aim. Her fighting skills are pretty much on par with her brother's.
Other: Gabrielle was the one who sealed Lucifer away in his room, but upon doing so she removed the memory of the location of the room from her mind. She did not want to risk her sisterly feelings causing her to release her brother.

((Might add/change some stuff, but whaddya think so far?))

Appearance:

Name: Kaida Shoga
Age: 16
Grade and class: High School, Year 1, Class 1-A
Occupation: None, but she's looking for one
Zodiac: Dragon
Background: Both of Kaida's parents were Shogas. Her father was a professor at a university; he taught history. Her mother was also a teacher and taught math in an elementary school. Kaida's name means "little dragon," though that was simply a very odd coincidence. Though her parents seemed to have been very much in love, things changed after discovering that their daughter was the dragon of the zodiac. Kaida's mother loved her unconditionally, but her father insisted on fostering the child to someone else in the family. He refused to acknowledge Kaida as his daughter and wouldn't even hold her after the first time she transformed. She almost died the first time because she wasn't put in water right away. Kaida's parents argued a lot, and as soon as she was old enough to realise what was going on, Kaida tried to run away. She was only about three or four at the time, and she didn't even make it off the Shoga estate.
At the age of four, Kaida met the dog, Yukio. Beforehand she had met some other zodiac children, and she met more afterwards, but Yukio ended up being one of the ones she was closest to. The dragon made a habit of running away to his house when her parents were fighting, which became more frequently as time went on. Finally, Kaida's parents got divorced. Her father took a job on the other side of the country and left the Shoga family altogether. Despite her mother continually telling her otherwise, Kaida blames herself for breaking up her parent's marriage. 'If I wasn't the dragon, father wouldn't have left." Kaida's mother always insists that the girl's father simply couldn't deal with parenthood.
When she was seven, Kaida got a taste of what being the dragon really meant. Yukio had transformed in front of three of his classmates, and Kaida was the one to supress their memories. It wasn't a good experience for the girl, and she's none too fond of her duty, but she'll do it if she has to. Kaida is very particular about keeping the Shoga secret just that; she fears losing her friends like she did her father, though she doesn't have all that many friends outside of the family.
Kaida, like many of the zodiac, attended a one-gender school. Being in an all-girl's school for all of her elementary and middle school life helped her make friends without worrying about the no-hugging rule. However, when she learned that her best friend was attending a co-ed high school, Kaida insisted on going to Yukio's school. After much convincing, the dragon's mother relented, on the condition that Kaida could only go as long as she kept her grades up enough to be in the A class.
Personality: Ususally self-sufficient, Kaida doesn't find herself going to others for help much. When she has any emotional problems, however, she tends to turn to her mother or Yukio. The dragon has a very close bond with her mom, as well as the dog. She has a tendency to take sole responsibility for things that aren't hers alone to be responsible for, but is also assertive. Even though she sometimes takes responsibility, she doesn't like being blamed for things she has no control over. She is empathetic, and has a need to cheer up people when she sees them sad, but she can also tell when they just want to be left alone. Kaida is generally friendly, but mostly towards girls rather than guys, and when she is on her own in a new place with all new people, she will become more introverted and won't speak until spoken to. Despite this, however, she is very good at telling people, especially guys, to get lost.
Other: Kaida tends to be the one who keeps the flirtacious dog on a leash.

Appearance:

Name: Yukio Shoga
Age: 17
Grade and class: High School, Year 2, Class 2-B
Occupation: Works at the front desk of a sports club in the summer
Zodiac: Dog
Background: Yukio's parents knew from the moment he was born that he was the cursed zodiac dog; he was delivered by a female doctor who fainted at the sight of the puppy she had to give to the mother. Consequently, the doctor had to have her memories supressed. Yukio's mother couldn't deal with the stress of having a son who turned into a dog every time she hugged him, and when Yukio was about five, she and her husband abandoned the Shoga family. The boy has never heard from them since. Yukio had never really been given any love from either of his parents, so he didn't miss them all that much. When they left, he moved in with his father's aunt. Her cousin had been a zodiac, so she had some understanding of what Yukio was dealing with, and knew how to deal with him better than his parents had. While he was never extremely close to his great-aunt, the dog got along with her. She died the year he started high school, but at that point he was allowed to live in a house on his own on the Shoga estate.
Yukio began being introduced to the other zodiac children about the same time his parents moved away. Until then, he had been a very sheltered child, rarely leaving the house, and only doing so with company. They were his first friends and, for a while, his only ones. The dog ended up being rather close to the dragon, and though they became best friends, they were never more than that; they both feared the family god too much to even consider the thought.
The first real incident Yukio had with his curse was in elementary school. He and three friends were playing outside the Shoga estate when one of the girls stumbled. She grabbed Yukio for support, hugging him by mistake and turning the eight-year-old boy into a golden laborador. That girl, along with the other two children, had to have her memories supressed. Afterwards, the dog transferred to an all-boy's school. He didn't go back to a co-ed school until high school, when he promised his great-aunt that he would make sure no girls hugged him. Nothing went wrong with the curse, but when Yukio's great-aunt died halfway through the year the dog missed almost a month of school. All the same, he passed his exams and ended up with good enough grades to get into 2-B.
Personality: Yukio is almost constantly a plaer and a flirt, but he's not such a bad guy. Though he has never gotten serious about any girl, if he did he would be faithful even if it seems out of character for him. He is good at keeping secrets, and is viciously loyal to those close to him. Most of the time, he lazes about and has little motivation, but if he sets his mind on doing something, he won't rest until he's done. Despite being such a flirt, he rarely has trouble with the no hugging rule; he doesn't allow anyone to get close enough to him that he would have to worry about it. He is especially protective of Kaida, whom he sees as kind of a litttle sister in a way.
Other: Yukio is certainly smart enough to be in class A, and even in th top percent of his grade, but he tends to get lazy, resulting in more average grades, though he is surprisingly good at sports.
His name means "gets what he wants," or "happy man." His parents didn't choose it; a friend of theirs did.

Gaia Name: ~when~the~music~fades~
Appearance:
Name: Siobhan (shi-VAWN) Elliot
Age: 16
Bloodline: Pureblood
Year at Hogwarts: 6
Class Specialty: Transfiguration
Wand Type: 10" Mahogany, Demiguise hair
Broomstick: Gungnir
House: Slytherin
Animal/Pet: Lilac Marbled Australian Mist (Marcy)
Personality: A classic Slytherin, Siobhan is intelligent and proud, but with the skills and the blood to back it up, giving her a sense of confidence that is great to a fault. She is prejudiced and condescending, often speaking with a greater-than-thou tone of voice and attitude. She is extremely stubborn and will not admit to being wrong, though she will not get into a debate that she knows she can't win. Siobhan is haughty and full of herself, carrying herself as such. She has a storng tendency to be mean, snide, and rude, especially to those she considers below her level.
Bio: Siobhan is the pureblood daughter of a well-respected and poweful witch and wizard. She grew up in a small wizarding community just south of Cambridge. Her parents knew that Siobhan would be going to Hogwarts, and so they began preparations for her stay long before the letter even arrived. She more or less grew up ready to enter the school. Siobhan was an only child, and rather spoiled by her parents.
When she got to Hogwarts, she, as both her mother and father were, was put into Slytherin house. It quickly became clear that the girl had a knack for Transfiguration. She is pretty decent at most magic, but definitely shows a preference for that class. Once she finishes at Hogwarts, Siobhan plans to become an animagus and most likely do work with the Ministry, or travel. Siobhan is also rather skilled at Quidditch, and joined Slytherin's team in her second year. She began as a chaser but became keeper in her third year and captain in her fifth. She is still the keeper and captain and plans to remain so for her final two years at Hogwarts.
Like many purebloods, Siobhan is prejudiced against muggle-borns, but surprisingly not so much as most. If a muggle-born or a half-blood can prove to her that they have talent, she will acknowledge them. Of course, Siobhan's standards are high, and the amount of times she has actually acknowledged someone are numbered, and only a fraction of those times has she said anything aloud. She tends to be followed around by other Slytherin students who could be considered her friends but none of them seem to refer to each other as such.
Extra: Birthday is November 16th; she's a Scorpio.


Gaia Name: ~when~the~music~fades~
Appearance:
Name: Gemma Little
Age: Deceased; died at age 15.
Bloodline: Muggle-born
Year at Hogwarts: Was in fifth; now a ghost.
House: Hufflepuff
Personality: Gemma is apt to space out a lot and is a daydreamer. Though she may come across as dumb, she's actually not, though she's not exactly a genius, either. She is extremely loyal and kind, but also somewhat sensitive. She avoids the majority of Slytherins like the plague. Gemma is one of the youngest ghosts in the castle, but one of the more social ones.
Bio: Gemma is a ghost from the days of Harry Potter and Voldemort. She was in a muggle-born in Hufflepuff house, and got killed in the crossfire of two Avada Kedavra spells when the castle was being evacuated. Her death was instant; she hardly remembers anything aside from the frenzy. Depsite being a rather spacy girl, Gemma was a compotent witch, and her best class was Charms. She took the news that she was a witch surprisingly well, and was always careful to follow the rules. She spends most of her time in the Hufflepuff lounge or wandering the halls of Hogwarts. She knows all of the teachers who have been at the school at least one year, and sometimes shares stories of the time when Voldemort was alive, but only when asked or when the subject comes up. After so many years, Gemma has found herself able to speak his name, which surprises her when she thinks about it, though she rarely does.
Extra: Gemma came from the Yorkshire area and speaks with the accent. Her deathday is May 2nd, 1998 (she stopped celebrating her birthday after she died), the date of the Battle of Hogwarts.
