[ master in commander ] x a r r e [ HELLO, my name is ] Lorraine || Yolanda || Shaw [ go for it ] Lori, Raine [ touchy ] Lorraine, Lorraine Yolanda, Shaw [ rumors ] clumsy, tom-boy, tough, a little out-spoken, quiet when I don‘t have something to say, nervous, scary as an enemy, persistant, mellow, loyal [ truth ] outgoing, beautiful soul, sweet, loud when I‘m having fun, pops when I‘m at my limits, generous, kind, humorous, and brave [ sometimes people don’t think of me as a ] girl [ but I definitely know that I love ] boys [ housed in ] Gryffindor [ happy birthday cha-cha-cha ] July 29th [ I‘m a loyal, mellow ] Leo [ age ] 17 [ not really respected as a ] 7th year [ givers of life and love ] Hayden Shaw and Katherine Shaw [ proud to be a ] muggleborn [sparkles shoot out of ] 11 [inches of ] Holly [wood, with a core of] sea serpent heart-string [ protector from the dark ] bottle-nose dolphin [ catches the mice ] black medium-hair cat [ knighted when I found him on the ship ] Captain Jack [ I love the game Quidditch ] but I would just bring bad luck onto the team. [ first impression ] “I may look tough, something that presents of a person who appears to have the capabilities to tear you apart, but deep inside I have one of the warmest hearts. And that‘s true. I possess an oval face, and my cheekbones are on the average side. I can‘t complain that I‘m not beautiful, but I‘m not saying it in a vain way. My skin is a light tan, though lighter than usual because I wasn‘t exactly in the sun all that much over this past summer, snf it‘s very, very clear. I can‘t say I don‘t have my share of scars and bruises; in fact, I have a ton on my legs. But my face is definitely clear of any blemishes. Surprisingly. And-this annoys me to no end, just so you know-but my eyes are GREEN, not BROWN. I have green, round eyes. From far away, they look like a light brown, but if you look closer, they‘re green. Believe me. I‘ve had them for 17 years. They‘re green. But if you're really stubborn, we can say HAZEL. That's halfway in between. My lips are on the verge of being full, but not quite, and are almost always chapped. I have to use chapstick all the time. It‘s so easy for them to become chapped. I’m not a big fan of make-up, and there are even some days where I just wear none. But when I want to feel girly, I’ll wear some nice brown shades and a bit of eyeliner. Maybe some blush. Depends.
“My hair is something that, I have to say, is my pride and joy. I love it. Ever since I was a kid, I used to have a problem where my hair would grow so long, and when my mom cut it off, it would just grow back. Let’s start off when I head to school. I usually go to school with my hair cut short, in a choppy sort of way to my chin, right? And it’s a light brown, with a few high and low lights here and there. Throughout the year, my hair grows at an exceeding rate, and it usually reaches to about around my waist by February, changing a very nice natural curl and a dark brown. I keep it that way, until when I get home from school, and I spend a few weeks out on the ocean and the ship. It then changes to a natural dark, golden blonde from the sun. I cut some of it off, keeping it to a medium-long length. And then I chop it all of at the end of August, while the weather gets colder, and it changes back to a light brown, with light highlights left from the excess sun. And then the cycle repeats itself. It's always parted to the side or at least near the side, and almost always looks a bit messy or wideblown, but in a good way. I sometimes have my bangs go slightly over my eye.
“I‘m not thin, but nor am I overweight. I think I‘m perfect just the way I am, even though I look a bit meaty. Sure, I have a lot of curves, but who likes to be a twig? My chest has been known to attract a lot of boys, but it sure does get annoying sometimes. I stand a mere 5 feet and 7 inches tall, average, and my shoe size is an 8 and a half. I have sturdy, well-muscles limbs, since working on Dad’s ship gave me enough strength to be envied by some boys in school. Which gives me the impression to all the first years not to mess with me. And, although it’s funny, it’s kind of sad, because I love little first years. People always suggest, just by the way I look, that I’ll beat you up, and honestly, I won’t… unless you do something to me that I don’t like. Because then I may want to. ;D
“As for clothing, I love comfy clothing, like just a regular t-shirt and sweats or a pair of nice, tight jeans. I promise I don’t always look like crap; in fact, a lot of people tell me that I look good no matter what situation I’m in, even thought I’m labeled as sort of a tom-boy. I hate to wear skirts; you won’t catch me dead in one. I HATE the school uniform, but I only wear it when I’m outside of the Gryffindor tower or when I’m in class. Otherwise, you’ll see me throw that skirt off and wear pajama bottoms, for all I care. Ugh. It makes me feel so… exposed? I don’t know. I love to wear gloves, and you can only find me wearing a minimum amount of jewelry. I got my nose pierced for my 13th birthday, so you’ll always see a diamond stud on my nose.” [ hush, this is important ] “Back when I was still in Mum’s tummy, Dad had been out of work for some time, and mum had to bring in money until he could find a job. You see, it wasn’t that easy for Dad to find a well-paying job, because he was a sailor. Dad had been the 1st mate of a cargo ship that sent goods from England to the Americas, being well-paid and much respected, until the shipping company went bankrupt, unable to pay him, and ultimately shut down for good when Mum had been 6 months pregnant. You could image how devastated Mum and Dad had been to find out that they were both jobless, had no money, or anything in their savings, and were expecting a child in less than two months. Unfortunately, father couldn’t find another job within a different cargo shipping company, since all the spots were taken; plus, none of them could pay quite enough money to pa the rent for the home and all the loans they had to pay off. It wasn’t until he got a job offer in Alaska, United States when there was a ray of hope.
“Do you every wonder where those nice, juicy crab legs came from at that expensive sea food restaurant down the street? Well, you see, Snow crab only inhabits one place in the world, and that is Alaska, up on the North West side of the US, and the country only allows fishermen to catch the crab during each season, which can range from 2-3 months to 2-3 days, depending on weather, whether or not there are enough in the sea or how rare they are becoming. Snow crab is expensive, and whoever brings them in get big bucks. So why wouldn’t everyone want this job, right? Well, you see. This job is labeled the most dangerous job IN THE WORLD. I’m not kidding you, folks. From the freezing temperatures, dangerously lethal weather, and the chance to be knocked right off the boat and falling into the below 0 degrees ocean, no other worldly job could compare to how many men risk their lives for the money. My father became one of those men.
“A ship called the Terra Galaxy needed some crew for the next season, which was in three weeks, and they requested my father to join them after hearing that he lost his job and was an excellent sailor. Father Dad hesitated before accepting, knowing fully well about the consequences and dangerous if anything should g wrong, especially since Mum was still pregnant with me, coming closer and closer to birth. Mum insisted on him going, saying that the hoards of money he was surely to bring back if the season was to be successful would bring them back to normal finances.
“I had been born on July 19th, the day father was in the middle of the season. Although mother was very distressed about him not being present during the birth of little baby me, she was happy all the same. Since my father insisted on naming me Lorraine back when he was still there, my mom named me Lorraine Yolanda Shaw, Yolanda being the name she wished to name me. Thank god I got the name Lorraine. My father came home back around when I was 2 months old. He brought home hoards of money, since the season had been extremely good, and then Mum and Dad laid down money on a nice, brick house just 5 miles away from the ocean. My father desired for his own boat, and over the years, leaving to earn even more money by more Snow Crab seasons, he has worked himself up to his own ship called the BLACKBIRD. My mother had been extremely proud of my father. Over the summers, Father, Mother, and the younger me spent our summers sailing in the Atlantic ocean.
“When I turned 11, my whole family and I were put into complete and utter shock when a strange person came to the door with a letter, saying that I was a witch and was accepted to attend a school called “Hogwarts“. Father and Mother didn‘t believe him, shoving him out the door. And then he did something that put both my parents and myself in a complete stupor. He popped right into the living room with a loud crack. Of course, then we actually sat down and listened to what he said. Jasper Cord, was his name. He took my parents and I to Diagon Alley to fetch me my school supplies, and also helped us with the Hogwarts Express. You wouldn‘t believe how amazed, excited, scared, and completely ecstatic I felt. You could just see me glow.
“I was sorted into Gryffindor, since the Mr. Sorting Hat had seen the brave memories of swimming in the ocean and all of the other dangerous things I had done as a child. And then I sat down.
“Let‘s skip two years. I met a girl when I came home from my 2nd year, she was a muggle, fairly nice, and I liked her a lot. Her name was Penny Livensy. She became my very best friend, and I spent most of the next few summers with her on the beach with the rest of some of my muggle friends, making the excuse that I went to a boarding school somewhere in Scotland. She believed me. I wasn‘t lying to her, right? Hogwarts IS a boarding school, and it IS somewhere in Scotland. So I didn‘t really feel bad about it.
“Well, the drama started when I came home from my 5th year of school. Penny and I met this really good-looking, drop-dead gorgeous, kind, amazing guy at the beach, and he was only two years older than us. His name was James Overson. We both fell for him, and we spent most of our time together on the beach, playing around. By the end of the summer, James asked ME out. I, of course, said yes, and we officially became a couple. Penny was a bit upset that he decided to ask me out instead of herself, but she vowed that he was mine and she would never interfere, and told me, “Lori, you are the luckiest girl alive.” And we had a long laugh after that. It was perfect.
“I came back from my 6th year of school, excited to see my boyfriend after sending letters to my parents to give to him, since having an owl show up on his doorstep wasn’t a very normal greeting. I was also excited to see my best friend, too. What I hadn’t expected, though, that when I came to Penny’s house, I found the two making out. When I think about it now, it was kind of a stupid set-up. Plus, it sounds really cheesy, even thought I haven’t quite gotten over it. “Lori, you thought you could have someone like James. Hah!” was what my “best friend” had told me. I snapped. I took no thought into ramming my fist into that b*****d's face, and then screamed my head off at the both of them. I was more pissed off than upset about to, to be honest. I felt betrayed.
“I spent the next month sobbing my eyes out, staying in my room, and even avoiding going on trips in the ship with Mom and Dad. Now I regret it… I got over it, though, after realizing that it was all just a load of rubbish and there were plenty of more fish in the sea than James Overson. And, I also learned a lesson that I should choose my friends wisely. I’m grateful, too, surprisingly, that James is no longer mine or that Penny isn’t my best friend, anymore. In the end of July, while coming home from Diagon Alley for my school supplies, I learned that Penny was pregnant with James’ child. That could have been me… Oh, plus, a lot of weird, awful things have happened to the two of them. I can't say, but I do wonder how they happened... hmm...
Well, I suppose I feel much better after that, and now that it’s my last year at school, I have vowed to myself to be even more open and have as much fun as possible, while paying as much attention to school so I can pass my exams with flying colors. I want to meet new people, start new relationships. Because there are plenty of fine boys. Much, much better than James.” [ deeper than bone ] “It didn’t take me long to figure out who I really am, or who I think I should become. And it really didn’t take all that much thought, either. Ever since I was little, I knew that I was someone special, someone with a kick and a knack for making people smile and laugh. I’ve always been a comedian, whether it was dancing on the bench in the middle of the park pretending I’m Madonna or Brittany Spears, or playing the lead role in the elementary school play as Juliet. I enjoy making people happy, and I’ll use all my heart and effort to do so, just to make my dear ones smile, even at the expense of my own happiness. I don’t think that I have ever been depressed. And, quite frankly, I don’t have time for people who ARE depressed. I find them stiffening and annoying. Live life to the fullest! Open your eyes, and stop sitting in a corner crying, throwing self-pity upon yourself.
“I try not to be judgmental, attempting to be nice equally to everyone. And I’m actually really, really nice. But I’m not so kind if I’m treated badly or I find that sarcasm deep within your flattery. You’ll soon figure out that it doesn’t take long or much effort to make me angry, since I have sort of a bad temper, and once I blow, it’s like a hurricane. I’ll take no hesitation or thought into insulting you in front of everyone and using cutting remarks that slice up that cheeky face of yours. I get irritated with people who’re slow, so try not to act completely retarded around me, okay? I love to throw witty comments back and forth and people who know how to use their words.
“I’m not the real emotional type, so I rarely ever cry about anything. I’m smarter than I look, and I’m tougher than I’m given credit for. Go ahead, try and scare me. And then you can come to find out it takes much more than a scary story or face to freak me out. But I’m not letting you in on anything that makes my hair stand on end. I’m pretty easy-going, but I tend to get nervous really easily. I don’t put up with crap from peers who think they’re better than me or offend my friends or myself, though.
“However, I’m accident prone. I’ve fallen a fair share out of dad’s boat, slipped on the deck, and tripped down the stairs. Luckily, I don’t get embarrassed… sometimes. I mostly just laugh it off, but later in the day I’ll mentally kick myself for acting so stupid. I get a bit… erm, nervous around boys I like. Like, really, really. I’m kind of a flirt, but really… really bad at it.
“Don‘t worry. I‘m not the whole, “Woe is me, my life sucks.” type of girl just because the perfect guy decided to run off with my ex-best friend this past coming summer. You might find me being a little bit upset or hurt for a few moments, but I‘ll quickly snap back to being the nice, friendly young woman that I regularly am.” [ <3 ]MUSIC. Dancing. The ocean. Sailing the BLACKBIRD on summers. Chocolate covered strawberries. Sea food and spicy food. Reading thrilling and exhilarating books. Challenges. Adventure. Scary stories. Boyboysboys. [ People who nag, are boring, too annoying, selfish, suffer from narcissism, pugnacious, are liars, and a whole lot of other things. Betrayal. Going at a slow pace and wasting time. Cleaning the decks. Text books. Making a fool of myself. Seeming stupid, insignificant, or having someone think I'm something that I'm not. My ex-best friend. My ex-“boyfriend“. [ oh, and for the record ] I am NOT suffering from a broken heart. No. No way. That would just be stupid.

RELATiONSHiPS. [ gryffindor ] The name's: William Connor Raines I'm a: Gryffindor And I'm in my: 7th year Our relationship: In between “good friends” and “just friends,” and bit of a “crush on Lori.” What I think of Lori: “Lorraine! Or Lori, I’m scared she’d scold me if I called her otherwise. I’ve known her for a long time, and she’s a good friend of mine – maybe even more? I’m not sure. I’m actually a bit glad that there’s another clumsy Gryffindor I know, and she’s sort of like me, too, being quiet and all when nothing is to be said. But probably the difference between us is that she’s not afraid to show her true side, the more confident, honest Lori. I’m a bit jealous, really. I admire her strength, and I’m glad to have her as a friend. Who knows? Maybe something can develop in this last year between us. Maybe not. But I can’t say I haven’t heard that she’s currently single, no more of that Muggle boyfriend of hers…No, no. Never mind.” Our history: She and Will are in the same house and year, sharing classes and conversations like that. Just natural, yeah? They’re good friends, but Will decided not to cross that line since he’s heard of her boyfriend and the fact that he’s just…Will. He’s never noticed her flirting, actually, and doesn’t know he sort of likes her himself. Since he’s blind that way, he’s just left them two as friends. I want this to happen: Haha, that’s perfect, Nat! And Glenn, Lori, and Will are all in the same year, too. LOVE TRIANGLE? I don’t know. xD He’s already pre-occupied with Alice, but that may just be a “I’m-like-your-big-brother/best friend-but-I-think-there’s-something-more” phase. But, yeah. I wouldn’t mind Will being ears to all. He is there for every girl in need! (imagine Will posing heroically) Teeheehee. And maybe he’d enjoy it if Alice got jealous. xD Lori says: “Ohhh…! Why’d you have to bring him up? Will’s amazing. He’s such a gentlemen, and I love talking to him, even if he can seem a little bit slow. It’s soooo so nice to see a boy like him… he’s quiet, and I like that. Something I need. I’ve had this… sort of thing for him. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just because he’s in my year and house and I see him basically everyday… I’m pretty sure he’s not aware that he’s drop dead gorgeous or even if he ever realizes that I like him. I must admit, though. My flirting skills aren’t as wonderful as other girls’…” The name's: Jane Tian Driscoll I'm a: Gryffindor And I'm in my: 5th year Our relationship: “Good friends” What I think of Lori: “Lori is so cool! Johan and Jonah introduced me to her, and so did Will. She sort of came to my rescue sometimes whenever the twisn would lay their pranks on me. She’s a bit like the big, caring sister I’ve never had (really). I’ve noticed her with Will sometimes, but whatever. Hmm.” Our history: Same house since Lori’s third year. They met through Johan and Jonah Driscoll and William Raines. Ever since, Jane’s depended on her a bit as Lori confides with Jane. They’re good friends. I want this to happen: HMM. Maybe Jane can be the push Lori needs? For Will or anyone else. Jane’s just that sneaky little matchmaker all the time, so yeah. Maybe when Jane has run-ins with Quinton or something, she can tell Lori after Alice or Will, ahaha. Lori says: "Jane's adorable. I love her to death. I remember when she was a little firstie, and I also remember her older brothers. They were really, really, really cute. Haha. She's friends with Will, so I see her a lot, and I basically can tell her everything. And when she needs help- I'm always there for her. She can be a bit out there, but that's what makes her Jane." [ hufflepuff ] The name's: Dominic Matthew Gellar I'm a: Hufflepuff And I'm in my: 7th year Our relationship: mutual crush What I think of Lori: "She really knows how to liven up an atmosphere. I think she's great, and, yeah, I guess I kind of like her a bit. Or a bit more than just a bit. I dunno. Point is, Lori's great." Our history: Dom met Lori in their 1st year, when they had a couple classes together. Summer came, new people came into their lives, and slowly, Lori and Dom sort of forgot about each other. They've been in at least one class together each year all through Hogwarts, and now their friendship is coming back to them, ever since Lori fell back into Dom's life. I want this to happen: oh, you'll see. There'll be some drama, with the whole MaysiexDominicxLori situation, but it'll work itself out. Not sure how yet, but it will... :][ ravenclaw ]- none -[ slytherin ] The name's: Aidan Sebastian Reese I'm a: Slytherin And I'm in my: 7th year Our relationship: somewhere between nothing and rocky relationship What I think of Lori: "Who? Oh, Lorraine? Yeah, I think I've met her. She used to bug me, way back when. Kind of get the feeling she hates me, but since when do I care?" Our history: just the classic Gryffindor vs. Slytherin loathing. I want this to happen: nope, can't seen anything in our future... Lori says: “Reese is the definition of what I hate the most in this world: lying, cheating, betraying guys who use girls for their pleasures. I hate him. That may be putting it on thick for him, since I’m a nice girl, but I really, really do hate him. He’s as low as a troll--maybe even lower. Shame, though. He‘s kind of good-looking.” The name's: Zaccheus Alucard Dane I'm a: Slytherin And I'm in my: 3rd year Our relationship: Once or twice you've traced my mind. What I think of Lori: "I hardly know her, and I doubt I'd ever speak a word to her. No doubt she'd resent the conversation as much as I would. But anyone who can shut up a Gryffindor, even if she's a Gryffindor herself, can't be completely useless." Our history: Very little, if anything at all. He noticed her scolding an annoying first year during his second year as he was walking through the halls, and ever since he's labeled her as tolerable even though he's only seen her once or twice otherwise. I want this to happen: I don't see Lori liking Zacch at all, seeing as he can quite often be boring, selfish, narcissistic, and a wonderful liar all rolled into one. But then again, a passing conversation by chance could be interesting. Especially considering all of the afore-mentioned qualities.
