StrengthsCourteous
Ever the polite one, Danaë is nice to everyone she meets.
Cooperative
She likes to help others and enjoys working in group settings. She'll help just about anyone if asked to.
Flexible
She has no problem changing plans to suit others schedules better. Change is nothing to her; as along as she can remember it.
Open-minded
Very little can ruffle this Ravenclaw's feathers. She accepts everyone as they are, though she would like it if those that tend toward evil would change their minds....
WeaknessesNaive
She believes the best of everyone until proven wrong. This plus her cooperative nature has gotten her in trouble before.
Forgetful
If otherwise occupied, she does tend to forget things she's been told or appointments she's meant to keep.
Disorganized
Everything she owns is a MESS. Her trunk, school bag, everything. She says she knows where everything is, but sometimes one wonders...
Easily Distracted
Especially by golden, shiny things. Family
Mother || Alekto (Papadopoulos) Dixon
Very much the Greek woman, Alekto is always interested in what her daughter is up to. She's very loving and only wants the best for her daughter, and well, all of her children. She is a Muggle.
Father || Zander Dixon
A very quiet man, Zander is content to let his wife take care of everything, especially since he knows she likes to do it. He is a wizard who traveled a lot when he was younger, which is how he met Alekto. His family has a smattering of magical people.
Siblings || Sheila, Amanda, Zoey, Bianca, Agape, and Orion Dixon
Dani is the eldest of all of her siblings, and so far the only one to show magical talent. She loves all of her siblings, though she hasn't seen much of Agape and Orion (twins, born during her first year of school).
Other Family
Dani's family is MASSIVE. Mostly on her mother's side. There are a ton of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews and Dani can't possibly remember them all. She very rarely gets to see most of them since they live in Greece still, but there is the occasional family reunion.

Habits
Nail biting
Usually when she's thinking or upset, she will bite or chew her nails resulting in very short fingernails that she can be embarrassed about.
Playing with her hair
Often she will twirl a finger in her curls, but when she's really bored and not paying attention (mostly in class) she will braid sections of her hair.
Drumming her fingers or writing utensil
When bored or in thought, she will often drum random beats on the table with her finger or relentlessly tap the end of her pen or pencil on the desk.
Hobbies
Shopping
She loves to go shopping, even if she can't always afford to buy what she wants.
Reading
Her favorite time to do this is when the Slytherin common room is quiet and mostly empty and she can curl up in a chair with her favorite blanket and read for as long as possible.
Collecting
She likes to collect things. Mostly things that catch her eye like shiny or smooth rocks. She also likes to collect the cards from Chocolate Frogs

She loves to play card games of any kind and will usually have a deck on her somewhere.
Likes
Children, animals, luxury, books, flattery.

School Info
House || Slytherin
Year || First
Favorite Classes || Potions, DADA, Care of Magical Creatures
Least Favorite Classes || Herbology, History of Magic, Muggle StudiesPersonality
Strengths Loyal
Once Caoimhe decides that she is friends with someone, she will stand by them, even if they might be wrong. She keeps confidences and will never share a secret.
Generous
Despite her general attitude, Caoimhe loves to give her friends things she thinks they might enjoy, be it a material gift or just a note to cheer them up.
Spontaneous
Sometimes she'll get an idea in her head and have to just do it.
Ambitious
She hasn't chosen a career path yet, but she means to excel at everything she does.
Independent
While she enjoys being around her friends and House-mates, she is also completely fine being on her own. When given a group task in class, Caoimhe is all for divvying up the tasks and working alone first.
Weaknesses Vain
She is proud of her orange hair and tends to freak out if something happens to it.
Short Tempered
It's fairly easy to get her angry about something, and once she is it can take her a long time to get over it. During that time she can be cold and quite rude.
Possessive
Of people, animals, and her things. She doesn't like to share at all and can become very jealous if her friends or even her familiar seem like they are showing preference for someone else.
Craves Attention
She loves being the center of attention, and doesn't always discern between good or bad attention. She also falls easily for flattery.
Insensitive
This is not always on purpose. She tends to be very blunt and doesn't understand how easily her words can hurt other people, despite being easily angered by the words of others. Family
Mother || Aoibheann Cavanaugh (Married name: Dwain)
Her proud-to-be-mostly-pureblood mother. She blames her marriage to Caoimhe's father on youthful rebellion and arrogance. She does however love her daughter and wants the best for her.
Father || Seamus Dwain
Her Muggle father that she doesn't know very much about since her mother separated from him when she was very young. It wasn't until Caoimhe was accepted into Hogwarts that she filed for divorce.
Siblings || Niamh Dwain
A Muggle step sister she knows nearly nothing about. She is older than Caoimhe and was a product of a one night stand of her father's. Niamh's mother left her on Seamus' doorstep and he took care of her ever since. She does not factor much in Caoimhe's life.
Other Family
She mostly grew up with her grandparents on her mother's side, but they tend to despair of their granddaughter as they did her mother. Both tend to be a little rebellious. History
Born to a witch and a clueless Muggle, Caoimhe was taught from a very early age that she was different from everyone else. She was also taught that different didn't necessarily mean better and she should not automatically assume that she was better than anyone. While her mother was sensible about such things, her grandparents were not as much and instilled in her a touch of arrogance.
Until the age of three, Caoime lived in Ireland with both parents and her step sister Niamh. When Aoibheann was assured that her daughter promised to be a witch like she was, she left Caoimhe's father and moved to England where her parents lived. From three onward, Caoimhe was pampered and had everything she ever wanted. She wasn't quite spoiled since her mother nd grandparents made sure she kept her grades up and did her chores around the house. Despite being half Muggle, Caoimhe seems to take mostly after her mother in everything and she was brought up almost as a pureblood child. Because of this, she does tend to look down at other Muggle born children, but she isn't the snob some purebloods can be.
She always had anything she wanted, but the price for that was keeping her grades up and keeping up with her chores. It never bothered her, and the outcome is she's a fairly organized girl.
When Caiomhe got her letter of acceptance, her mother and grandparents were overjoyed. The first possible day, her mother took her to Diagon Alley and bought all her books and supplies to last her the entire year. She even offered to spoil her daughter further and buy her a familiar, but Caoimhe wasn't sure what kind she wanted and asked if she could perhaps think on it for a while.

Gender || Male
Age || Eleven
Date of Birth || April 13th
Wand || Ash, nine and three quarters, dragon heartstring core
Blood || Mixed
Font Color || #590b0c
Habits
Fidgeting
It's not intentional nor is it conscious (most of the time). He usually has to be doing something, especially with his hands. In class, taking notes is usually enough, but if he's not taking notes, he will be doing something else like doodling or drumming beats, or tapping his feet.
Overspending
He likes to buy things, even if it's something he knows isn't worth it. He'll get it because he wants it. Sometimes he'll regret it later.
Obsessive Compulsive
He likes to keep his things organized, to the point where sometimes he'll get upset if something is out of order. He prefers things in multiples of five, but it's not a necessity and it's not as bad as OCD could be.
Hobbies
Hiking
He loves to walk and hike up hills and mountains.
Swimming
Swimming is one of his favorite things to do as well, and he's very good at it.
Gardening
Along with his love of the outdoors, he likes to keep gardens when he can. Mostly vegetables, but there are a couple flowers he likes to keep as well.

Taking orders, opposition, being ignored, defeat, waiting.

Strengths A Leader
Andrew loves to be the leader of groups and will always volunteer for it in class.
Affectionate
He's a little guarded around strangers, but with his friends he's very affectionate and likes to hug though he won't admit it.
Inquisitive
He LOVES to ask questions, about any and everything. He doesn't necessarily pay attention to the possibility his question might not be appropriate.
Motivated
Once he gets started in a project, nothing can deter him from finishing it.
Adventurous
He enjoys trying new things, and finding new places. Being a first year, one of his priorities is to explore the entire castle and grounds.
Weaknesses Impatient
He HATES waiting, for anything. He'll sigh, tap his foot, daydream, occasionally he'll get irritated especially if he's nervous about what he's waiting for.
Hot-Tempered
He has a tendency to get mad about little things, but he just as easily calms down.
Sensitive
Little things can hurt his feelings very easily. He usually hides this though, and eventually he'll forget. He doesn't know how to hold a grudge.
Territorial
He hates for his space to be invaded, or his things to be touched. He has no problem telling someone to back off, though he might start out nicer than that.
Pushy
He's bad about wanting his own way, no matter what. When leading a team or group project, he tends to say what he thinks is the best path to take without asking his team members. Family
Mother || Abigail (Draper) Switch
A very kind and loving woman who runs a daycare for magically-inclined children from their home.
Father || Aden Switch
Also kind, Aden is a Muggle who, before marrying Abigail, was not aware of the witches and wizards in part of his own family tree. He is an elementary school teacher for Muggle children. History
Andrew, as an only child, was spoiled a little growing up. He never felt lonely though, as his mother had begun her daycare business shortly after she married Aden. This ensured a rather large group of friends for Andrew, who was always leading expeditions into their backyard which with a little pretend and some magical help from his mother could be anything they wished it to be. As he grew older, and the kids his mother watched over stayed generally the same age, Andrew lost contact with the friends of his babyhood. Instead, he lost himself in books and would explore the neighborhood around their home by himself, making up fanciful stories to keep himself entertained.
As he neared age eleven, his mother got more and more excited and was always sneaking up to the attic, though when he went up later he could never figure out what kept her there. It wasn't until he received his letter that she revealed it to him, the huge family tree that covered one wall of their attic. Way down at the bottom was his name, and from him branched the two sides of his family. Some names had crests below them, with a great tendency toward crimson and gold. It was there that his mother explained more fully about their family and why there were things he could do that the Muggle kids at his school couldn't. It was here he learned more about the Houses and what the crests were. From there, he learned that nearly everyone on her father's side of the family had been Gryffindors, and that she fully expected him to follow in her family's footsteps.
Andrew has never been shy about anything. As a child, he was constantly asking questions and trying to figure things out. Quite often, teachers would become exasperated with him and some even tried to limit the number of questions he could ask in an hour. It never seemed to work as something they were teaching always made him more curious.
After his mother told him about the Houses of the school (with heavy emphasis on Gryffindor, of course) Andrew found himself in her old books of history. He learned about the original heads of the houses, and it seemed the young boy was attracted to the Slytherin house. His mother never asked him what house he might prefer, and this served to cement the boy's interest in Slytherin at the the Sorting Ceremony, he was very sure he would be sorted into Slytherin. The Hat however had other plans, and Sorted him into Gryffindor.

Mother || Nia Westenra
Father || Jelani Westenra
Grandparents || Faraji & Asha Westenra History
Though Zennah's parents were both born in Jamaica, they moved to London after they got married because they felt that London would be a better place to raise any children they would have. So Zennah was born about a year after the move, and she was spoiled from day one. This little Slytherin was always given what she wanted without having to work too hard for it. Her parents are both purebloods as is her entire family. Her parents have never really had to work, but her mother likes children, so she works in a child-care center for magical children. Her father is an investment banker, so he knows well how to handle money. They are quite proud of their daughter and support her in everything she does.
