Please do not post your profiles here unless they are completely finished. Thank you.
Common Traits of House Members
Gryffindor emphasises the traits of courage as well as "daring, nerve, and chivalry," and thus its members are generally regarded as brave, though sometimes to the point of recklessness. Notably, Gryffindor house contributed many members to Dumbledore's Army and the Order of the Phoenix. According to Phineas Nigellus Black, members of other houses, particularly Slytherin, sometimes feel that Gryffindors engage in "pointless heroics." Another Slytherin, Severus Snape, considered many Gryffindors to be self-righteous and arrogant, with no regard for rules.
However, this may be taken with a grain of salt, as Gryffindors and Slytherins have shared a fierce house rivalry since their founders, Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin, respectively, had a severe falling out over Slytherin's emphasis on blood purity. There might also be an element of jealousy; since the sorting of Harry Potter into Gryffindor, the house received a certain amount of publicity that they had not had before. Harry and his fellow Gryffindors tend to win in a lot of circumstances which, when viewed from a Slytherin's point of view, may be considered unfair. Examples of this include the last-minute points awarded by Headmaster Dumbledore at the end of term feast, which conveniently put Gryffindor ten points ahead of Slytherin in the 1991–1992 school year, and Harry being permitted by Professor McGonagall to have his own broomstick for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, even though first-years are not normally permitted their own broomstick.
Gryffindor symbol.
Even members of other houses might have felt that Gryffindor received favouritism, considering that many saw Harry being chosen as the fourth competitor in the Triwizard Tournament as stealing Hufflepuff student Cedric Diggory's thunder unfairly, and being an example of Gryffindors' attention-seeking behaviour.
"Before Harry could speak, there was a massive movement. The Gryffindors in front of him had risen and stood facing, not Harry, but the Slytherins. Then the Hufflepuffs stood, and almost at the same moment, the Ravenclaws, all of them with their backs to Harry, all of them looking toward Pansy instead, and Harry, awestruck and overwhelmed, saw wands emerging everywhere, pulled from beneath cloaks and from under sleeves."
—before the Battle of Hogwarts[src]
Overall, however, the houses of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tended to side with Gryffindor in its rivalry with Slytherin. This was particularly notable during the Second Wizarding War — the members of Dumbledore's Army were from Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, but lacked any Slytherins, and during the Battle of Hogwarts, the Slytherin students left while many students from the other three houses remained behind to fight.

THE CHARACTER
 Hawk StarWind Luvarnitaro
Name: Hawk StarWind Luvarnitaro (Part of the Lupin Family)
Age/Year: 17
Gender: Male
House: Gryffindor (Head Boy)
Blood: Pureblood (Metamorphmagus)
Wand: 11 inches, Holy Wood, Gold Dragon Tooth Core
Sexuality: Straight
---------------
PERSONALITY
More than anything, Hawk is known for his strictness, protectiveness, and his kindness. While rules are important to him, Hawk knows that there are times that the Law cannot be followed, as to do so would lead to greater ruin than any can imagine. So, even though he is Head Boy of Gryffindor House, he isn't the perfect example of obedience. But what people know most about him is that he's an expert duelist, and is a master of most destructive spells that the school can teach. He is loved in DADA, and in Transfiguration.
However, knowing all of that, Hawk has his weaknesses. He is prone to tricks, and to being considered "harsh" by many. He cannot stand it when people do not do as they are told, and will go quiet with cold rage when someone questions him as if he was a criminal. Because of this, he makes the perfect man for the job of Head Boy, for he will staunchly defend everyone in his House, while at the same time ensuring they follow the rules. However, his great kindness gets in the way of dealing out too much punishment, so his punishments tend to be less than up to par. That is, unless you are a repeat offender. You only get once chance with Hawk.
---------------
Weaknesses: Insults, Too Strict, Too Kind
Strengths: Attack Spells, Transfiguration, and Revelation Magic
Secrets: Secretly, he murdered his little sister when he was young. Because of that, he has little friends, tending to keep them at a distance.
Patronus: Wolf
Boggart: Hawk's Boggart, when see, takes the form of a bleeding female child, face white in death with a lock of white-blue hair in one hand and a knife in the other. The child's hair is blond.

LOOKS
Appearence:
Hawk is one beautiful human being, with white-blue hair and facial features best described as Angelic. Deep blue eyes that are filled with the strength of a Wolf shine out from a lightly tanned face, with cheekbones and format of an elf. A lithe, svelte figure can be seen from time to time when Hawk doesn't wear his robes, and more than anything, he can't feel the cold, so when out in winter he wears his normal jeans and black t-shirt.
When in his favorite animal form, Hawk turns into a beautiful gray wolf of the biggest species known on earth. Golden eyes always form before he changes, though after the instant the eyes change, he is immediately a Wolf. As a wolf, poor Hawk loves to be cuddled, especially by women, for he enjoys their warmth and touch. He is the complete opposite of himself while as a wolf, almost.
Either way, in either form, Hawk is possibly one of the most beautiful men you'll ever meet, but unlike others, you will probably never see him with a girl. Most people know him well enough to leave him alone, but those who don't quickly find out why Hawk wears the robes he does, the robes of an executioner, when outside of school.
---------------
PAST
---------------
Detailed:
Born in Scotland, yet raised in England, Hawk was a genius even from birth. Everyone knew as he grew that the child would be an amazing dancer and singer, as well as a powerful Wizard. However, there was a price, for he was said to be brutal when it came to judgments, seeming to side with the victims no matter the case. But even with that, he would risk everything to help a friend.
However, one day when he was eight, he and his little sister took a stroll across the hills out in the plains, Hawk escorting the little girl as if she was a princess. When, suddenly, a cry came from the distance, and a spell hit Hawk in the back. Suddenly, his body wasn't his own, but someone else's. With his own hands, Hawk was forced to take his sister and throw her to the ground, drawing a knife. As she screamed in horror, a dark wizard came up from behind them, wand aimed at Hawk. And with that, the man forced Hawk to strangle his sister to death, stabbing her as he did so, until the murder was done. The Man looked at the young child that was Hawk, and laughed. "This was done by your hand, child." he said, and with that, left.
When he returned to his family, and told them what had happened, they tried to help him, Telling Hawk that it wasn't his fault, that he could not stop what had happened and shouldn't blame himself. Yet, for years afterwords, even after he arrived at Hogwarts, he never once forgave himself. For years, too, he had nightmares, horrifying ones that woke him with a scream that would scare multiple people in the tower. However, in his second year, the nightmares almost stopped, coming once in a great while, until the sixth year, where it stopped altogether.
But that was the past. During his years in school, Hawk became an expert at dueling, besting all in Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, by the time he was a third year. However, he was dethroned by Slytherine in the fourth year until he learned new spells, returned, and took back the title in his fifth year. By sixth year, the only ones he hadn't defeated were teachers.
It was during his fourth year that he discovered his favorite form, becoming the wolf he'd always known he was. But to this day, every time he changed he sees the face of his sister, and every time his mind is hardened, his soul and his heart set on finding the Dark Wizard responsible, and killing him.
Now, seventh year, he has been elected as Head Boy. What fun this'll be, he'd thought when he'd heard. Now, of all time, Hawk wanted one thing. Someone to love, to share his feelings and past with. But who can understand the pain within his heart?

THE CHARACTER  David Leon Masters
Age/Year:11
Gender:male
House: Gryffindor hopefully
Blood: doesn't know
Wand:none
Sexuality: straight --------------- PERSONALITY David has always been afraid of storms after the fateful night his parents were taken from him when he was five years old. Whenever a storm approaches he dives behind whatever he can find. Usually he'll duck under Shatei and shake with fear there. However, he makes up for that by being fearless in almost everything else. Once there was a bear that threatened him and his new found family. Before Shatei's mother could do anything, David started growling, and making himself as scary as possible. Which didn't work and David nearly got himself killed.
David is also loyal to a fault, which can be a weakness and also his biggest strength. He tends to be shy when he meets new people for the first time. He'll be quiet and say maybe a few words. Other than that, I'm still developing his character 'cause I wanna see where I can take him. --------------- Weaknesses: fear of storms
Strengths:Loyal to a fault and fearless against most anything
Secrets: He has a secret fear of dark rooms
Patronus:don't know yet
Boggart: storm cloud

*thunder
*to not have Shatei nearby

He is currently about five feet and seven inches tall. His hair is a dark brown and it's almost too dark to be brown. For casual clothes, he wears a white jacket with a drawing of a tiger in black lines. He leaves the jacket unbuttoned usually. He wears a black t-shirt that has the same design as the jacket except in white.
He tends to wear jean shorts that go past the knees and have pockets on the front of the knees. His shoes are black with a white nike symbol on both sides. The laces are white, the tip on the end of the laces is black. Sometimes for casual he just wears a blue shirt with black shorts while wearing a black hat backwards.
For school robes, it's the same as everyone elses. Dress robes are a midnight blue with a kind of glossy look to them. They have a sort of wave pattern and it makes it look like his dress robe is the ocean. Another outfit for casual is a green shirt and white shorts with a red hat backwards again. --------------- PAST Quick List:
*Lost his parents at age five
*was raised by a momma tiger along with her cub
*found by a Hogwarts teacher and told that he has a life in wizarding
*also told that he got money left for when he was to go to hogwarts.
---------------
Detailed: It was a long time again and when David was a young boy of the age of five. He just happened to be out deep in the forest when a storm was brewing and the thunder sounded. After the thunder faded he heard the screams of his mom and dad. Running as fast as his five year old legs could carry him he ran to the house. Since he had short legs he didn't get there 'til long after the murderer had left. He found his mother and father dead with no marks to show how they died. He didn't understand what was going on and fell between his mom and dad crying his eyes out.
A few hours later, a tiger cub and his momma came upon David's sniffling form, still between his mom and dad. For some reason the mother tiger took pity on David and with her mouth she picked him up by his shirt. By the time the mother tiger had found a place to stay, David had fallen asleep. She found a cave that they would stay in as she raised now two cubs. The next morning, David woke up and began his new life with the two tigers.
Six years later, a professor finds David in the wild, and tells him he is a wizard. Not only was he a wizard, but his parents had somehow predicted they might die an early death. So they had a bank account in his name with more than enough money for him to get through school. The man didn't need much more than getting David to ask his tiger mother permission to go. David refused to leave without his best friend Shatei and with the permission of his new mom he headed out into the Wizarding world. --------------- FAMILY David's parents are dead. The most amount of contact they had was for five years. David had no other relatives.--------------- PET OPTIONAL

THE CHARACTER "I'm not a player I just crush a lot."  Shelby Grace Lupin
Age/Year: Seventeen
Gender: X-Chromosome
House: Gryffindor
Blood: Half blood
Wand: 9' Cherry wood bark frame with amethyst shards built within.
Sexuality: Can't decide, she likes them all--------------- PERSONALITY [Gracie, as all her friends and family call her, as a very spunky attitude. Up beat and never negative, she is usually the fun go to girl when one is looking for a quick pick me up. There is no amount of depression and pessimism that a little Gracie cure cannot fix, at least, that is what her opinion is about herself. There is not really much that gets her down when it comes to her against the world, in fact, she is more afraid of her own mouth getting someone else down than vice versa. A big talker, Gracie loves to, not be the center of attention so much as making sure everyone is having a good time. Gracie was once asked why she didn't quit the wizardry business and go off to be a stand up comic, cause she is definitely a funny type. Hey, laughter is the key to true friendships.
Above all else, this dark haired female is very much a free spirit, enjoying outdoor activities more than sitting inside a stuffy class room reading from old books all days. Often times one can find her day dreaming about her next Quidditch match or what she could do to help the team perform better together. Or even just hanging out with her cousin and life long friend. Whatever the case may be, rest assured if she has to remain in doors for long periods of time, Gracie can prove herself to be rather short and anxious. It's not all together a great personality trait so much as it is a habit, however it is a part of her that will never die. Her heart resides in the blue whatever the shade. Soaring amongst the clouds. Which also explains her horrible love life. Because of her need to be dynamic, it is hard for Gracie to stay focused on one partner if that partner is maintaining a normalcy that she finds boring. Everything has to appeal to her volatile nature or she will pass it by.
Unfortunately, Gracie's number one flaw is her inability to lie and keep her mouth shut. To teachers is an entirely different story, she is as honest as she can muster to them, but she knows when it is not okay to offer up information. However, that being said, she has a mouth that prefers to be as blunt as possible. If your shirt is hideous and you ask, she is going to tell you that it is hideous. Sometimes it is hard to understand just why it is that she is this way, but assurance be that it has been a habit for as long as she can remember. It is best to ask opinions that matter. Such as flying, or magic use, or how a game went.
Self-esteem is very important to Gracie, for it is the strength she needs to continue on through the world. It also helps her team by believing in her own skill and in the skill of others. She will not hesitate to push a bully around a time or two if they are over stepping their boundaries. No one should feel bad about themselves especially if they have something special about them that sets them apart from the crowd. Gracie loves the Gryffindor team like they were her own family, flesh and blood. Because her self esteem is so high she constantly alights her team with positive reinforcement and has their backs at all time. Even if they were in the wrong, she is behind them one hundred and fifty percent. Grace is a strong leader because of her strong sense of self and a well respected captain as such.
motivated
That being said.... Grace is a daredevil. She is always pushing the boundaries and limitations of her own personage that it's hard to imagine she will even make it through the school year. Breaking a few bones to win a match is nothing short a simple sacrifice for and she will easily fall from unspeakable heights if it will grant her a step ahead of the game. Grace finds the biggest person to match wits with. The hardest obstacles to over come. The most sinister trouble so as to lay them down in shame. It's not the best personality trait but she is the person that is going to try everything once, twice if she lives through the first time. ]--------------- Weaknesses:
✖ Does not bode well with bullying.
✖ Has a tendency to put herself in danger with trial and error experiments.
✖ Has trouble being dishonest.
Strengths:
✖ Is natural born leader
✖ Flying most of all
✖ Transfiguration
Secrets:
✖ Keeps her cousin's secret about the murder of his younger sister, Gracie's youngest cousin.
Patronus:
✖ A beautiful eagle soaring through the air, with a wingspan of over seven feet.
Boggart:
✖ A giant serpent, Gracie does not like snakes, not one bit!
---------------
Likes
* Flying most of all, above everything else.
* Being the captain of her team.
* Winning games for Gryffindor.
* Flirting.
* Cute boys and girls.
* Cracking jokes at people.
* Running for long miles.
* Swimming
* Guitar
---------------
Dislikes
* Bullies
* Being treated like a, "girl."
* Losing matches.
* When team mates don't give it their all.
* Sitting in small rooms for long periods of time.
* Divination classes
* Being set up to battle her cousin. (That cheater....)
--------------- LOOKS Appearence:
•• s w ii r l ii n g p o o l s (Eye description)
Of every part of the face, it is the eyes that do a lot of talking for you when your lips are not moving. Because of Gracie's talkative and animated nature, her eyes are constantly widened, slanted and glared just to add emphasis to whatever it is that she is doing or saying. Gray in color, just like her fathers, her eyes are very doe like, round and separated by her nose very symmetrically. Grace can tell you how many black eyes she has had to date from getting hit in the face with a ball, but her eyes remain true to their common nature. Large and always happy in appearance.
•• f r ii z z a n d f r o (Hair description)
Hair is hair yo! If there was something she hates more in this world than losing matches, it is hair. It is curly every second of the day except when she has to straighten it, which happens every early in the morning. It's annoying, time consuming and makes her feel more girly than is really necessary. If she had her way, she would cut it all off, and yesterday, but her father prefers her hair long. Just to please him, she has kept it at mid back length for as long as she can remember. When there is no real reason needed to style her hair, such as staying home or days off from school, Gracie wont even bother with her tangled curls and tie them back in a loose pony tail. During practice between matches they might be put into french braids, if she feels up to it. Despite not caring no matter what and how little she does to those soft ebony locks, they always appear to have plenty of hours of care put into them.
•• j u s t t o o s e x y f o r m y s e l f (Body Build and Clothing Style)
Her most favored part of her entire being is her body, perfectly sculpted from years of running, weight training, kick boxing and of course, her years in Quidditch matches. She believes a happy lifestyle starts at the wellness of your own body, and one that is taken care of will never steer you wrong years down the road. Gracie has nice long arms and legs and a well sculpted torso, but does not consider her body sexy or beautiful. It is fit and strong as every body should be. Able to run long hours without needing rest, Gracie prefers working out during her time off to keep her body happy and well. Clothing is a different matter all together. When in school uniform, she wears a pair of black flats with pulled up white socks, as is typical amongst the female students though most of the time will switch to tennis shoes if she can get away with it. When not in uniform a pair of tight jeans and a very plain top, with black converse will serve its purpose just fine. She does not like to dress fancy for it does not fit her nature.
•• s h o r t a n d s w e e t (Height)
Five-Feet Eight Inches of if you have a problem you can kiss her well toned backside.
•• t o o m u c h s w e e t p o t a t o p ii e (Weight)
One-Hundred and Fifty Pounds of pure muscle and hard work.
--------------- PAST Quick List:
* Lived happily as an only child with single father.
* Went to school at Hogwarts with best friend and cousin.
* Excelled in flying ability until becoming captain of the Gryffindor team
* Is now entering her seventh year as captain for the third year in a row, now a prefect under her cousin who is head boy.
---------------
Detailed:
Sophie Grace Lupin was born to a loving father and a greedy mother. Of course at the time she was entirely an accident not meant to grace their lives just yet. In fact, Nora was not even certain if she wanted children with James, her husband, and was even considering leaving him during the time before she realized she was pregnant. Their relationship had been a rocky one since the beginning, always fighting about where Nora had been and why she was never home, either working late with her boss or spending time with her friends a local country club. Being the wife of a wizard was not all it was cracked up to be. The secrecy was one thing, but not allowing others to come over for a visit for fear of their lives being brought to light was something she could not cope with. When Gracie was born, Nora had had it with her life and began packing when they returned home from the hospital. James begged her to stay in sake of their newborn child, but Nora's passion for life was too strong and she left without so much as a single goodbye.
James vowed to be the best father he could be for his daughter. Though it was difficult at the beginning, his sister became a mother for Gracie who spent most of her adolescent days growing up with her cousin who were only months apart in age. They were entirely inseparable when they were together. Their personalities differed, Gracie was strong, athletic and showed immense leadership skills even at a young age, whereas Hawk had a strong sense of justice. They both utilized their skills to outsmart and think their parents time and time again. Things would change however, when Gracie was on her way to Hawk's house for their daily visit. She was eight then, and stopped to pick up some candy for the three of them, as Gracie had come to love the younger girl cousin. When she arrived at his home, she was directed towards where the pair had gotten off too, only to find the body of her younger cousin laying lifeless in front of Hawk, the murder weapon in still fresh with blood in his hand.
Gracie was the one who carried the girl back home, wrapped in her sweater, not allowing Hawk to carry her for fear of a mental break down before they could get to the safety of their home. Gracie watched her best friend go from good to worse in a few short weeks. There are some things in life that cannot be explained and this happened to be one of them. Secretly, Gracie blames herself for his sister's death even more than he blames his own self. Had she not stopped for candy and arrived on time, maybe it could have been her instead of such a young little girl. The pair entered school still estranged from one another over the events that happened many years ago, both were sorted into the house of Gryffindor and made two very prominent and widely known names for themselves, bringing honor to the Lupin family. Though in two very different ways. Where Hawk was a strong fighter, Gracie got her hands on her first broom and was in the skies in a matter of seconds. The murder of her cousin BY her cousin had finally reached the back of her mind, and flying gave her something to focus on, besides the sorrow.
Quidditch became the best thing in the whole wide world for her, becoming a seeker her second year in school, and reaching the level of captain by her sixth year. Gracie passed her classes with the muggle equivalent of a B average, meaning she was making her father proud, but her focus was not on school. During her fourth year at Hogwarts, Gracie perfected the use of her, "Air Surfing," a style of broom flying in which one stands upon their broom much like that of a surf board and uses the force of gravity to speed through the air. It was difficult, having spent many nights in the infirmary, but eventually she was Wind Surfing as freely as a bird flies in the skies. Beside her best friend, Grace welcomes her seventh year as second year running captain and now a Prefect. --------------- FAMILY

THE CHARACTER  CHARACTER'S FULL NAME
Age/Year: 14
Gender: Male
House: Gryffendor
Blood: Half
Wand: 12 inches, Cherry wood, with powdered essence of an Ermupant horn. A true one of a kind wand that is perfect for potions but dastardly when he gets a spell wrong for any furniture in the nearby vicinity. He also starts quite a few fires unintentionally because of the wands fickle nature.
Sexuality: Hetero --------------- PERSONALITY [ Adam is a Gryffendor too the core, in every fiber of his being.
Chivalrous - No matter what Adam wants any fight to be fair, even if it is against a cheating Slytherin. Cheating and underhanded tricks just don't suit him. This also brings about a serious sense of honor and respect as well, especially for his superiors. It also causes him to make stupid decisions and take on more responsibilities than he ought to.
Daring - Don't ever put out a challenge if you don't want to see him accomplish it. Adam will jump from his broom at a hundred feet in the air just for a single goal so don't think he won't try your challenge. It doesn't matter if someone tells him the statistics or that he will die performing the task, once a challenge has been issued he must complete it.
Nerve - When it comes to pushing boundaries Adam has not one problem in breaking a rule, or a minor law for that matter. Don't treat him poorly either or he might not be able to control his mouth. Adam is sometimes the kind of boy who says something just for the sake of it needing to be said. He doesn't care if it hurts your toes or your feelings if it needed to be said.
Quick Temper - Very few things actually anger Adam but if you do beware a volley of spells and fists will ensue. Don't expect a teacher's threats of detention or reprimand to stop him though, he won't stop until he has cheeked you once. Normally Adam can keep it in check but he sin't perfect so from time to time he snaps a little quicker. He usually doesn't mean it though, he is not a naturally angry person.
Loyal Friend - Too Adam who has been on his own with his father for all his life a Friend is the most important thing in existence. Don't ever cross Adam by attacking a friend of his or you might not come out of it with every part of your body attached. Adam also doesn't think twice when a friend asks him a favor, this can get him into trouble when he just follows blindly. ] --------------- Weaknesses: Pretty girls, an oppurtunity to show off, and anything that let's him be a daredevil
Strengths: Potions, Flying, Speaking, and most of all his charm
Secrets: Adam doesn't know his mother was a witch, so naturally he thinks that he is muggle born. Make a comment about his blood status and he will lose it, his fellow Quidditch team members know this because of an instance in which a Slytherin Beater limped up to the Hospital wing with his Bat wedged in an uncomfortable place.
Patronus: Can't perform it
Boggart: His father getting stuck in one of his escape attempts and dying.

His clothing is always immaculate even on the days when he goes to the Quidditch pitch waiting for the storm of mood to ensue.
Adam comes from a well off home so his clothing his equipment and everything he has is in nice condition.

---------------
Detailed:
What can be said about Adam Houdini, well with the surname of Houdini what can be expected except a certain ability to get out of tight spots in a 'magical' way. Well the story actually starts a few years before hand when Adam's father, Gerard, found out that he was a descendant of the great escape artist and magician he became absolutely obsessed with Magic! He spent every penny he had and spent every waking moment learning the trade. It absorbed his life so much that he legally changed his last name to Houdini and started a small show performing outside on a street corner where odd people ventured past all the time.
It was here that he met the love of his life, and an actual witch. She not only fell in love with him she joined his act and with a few of her magical tricks Gerard headlined his first major show and they began their very first tour. The show ran for five years flawlessly and Gerard and Lillith amassed quite the small fortune, enough so that they decided to have a child and take a couple years off.
There were severe complications during Adam's birth and Lillith didn't have her wand with her, and Gerard still didn't know anything about the Magical world all around him. After Lilith passed away Gerard had to not only put on his show alone he also had to raise a son on his own. They were some very difficult times, but Adam spoiled his son and made sure that his life was filled with nothing but fun. Adam developed a unique taste for heights, falling, and speed.
Adam started performing alongside his father when he was 8, and he was an extreme success. He seemed to never be able to fall from the high rise no matter how fast he moved, and very soon he was performing tricks while sitting eighty feet in the air. Then some things came to light a couple years later when a letter arrived and said that Adam was a wizard.
For the first few days Gerard thought it was just a joke and so he disregarded the letter and went back to usual day to day. A week later a second letter arrived with a more in depth explanation, delivered this time by a teacher from the school who explaining that they weren't joking and that Adam was to attend the Hogwart's school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Adam was amazed and a little excited, but Gerard was so overjoyed you couldn't believe that he wasn't a wizard.
The first visit too Diagon alley was another day filled with amazement and over joyous reactions to the wonderful world of wizardry. When Adam got all of his books Gerard walked out with just as many, but his were all about the laws and the history of the wizarding world. Gerard also emptied quite a bit of money on Weasley Wizard Wheeze's. Both Adam and Gerard laughed hard that day. More like best friends rather then parent and child and that's how it has always been.
During Adam's Second year he took his skills as a muggle daredevil and illusionist to the max when he tried out for the quidditch team. It is one thing to just try out for the team, but when you play it like it's the Gryffendor and Slytherin final you are sure to make the team. He did happen to get a detention for one manuever that required him to leap from his broom and through a goal hoop, he almost forgot to call the broom back to him and gave the spectating professor a heart attack.
Every summer Gerard takes his act on the road and specifically picks routes that take them through more wizard populated areas. So that Adam can practice his magic freely without receiving a repercussion from the Ministry. Gerard isn't an idiot and he really does know the Wizarding world quite well, you might mistake him for a real wizard with as much as he knows.
--------------- FAMILY Tell whether they are alive, dead, age, gender, relation, amount of contact, etc. --------------- OTHER Adam is only average in his classes, he is nothing to brag about. Nor is he something to complain about. But in two fields he exceeds his age group. Care for Magical Creatures and Potions. With Potions he is a positive genius and nothing seems to be able to stop him from absorbing the knowledge. In care for magical creatures he just has no fear whatsoever so it helps when the class gets slightly dangerous.

Clouds. You are still not allowed to use magic in front of Muggles, and in order for you to use Magic outside of school in such a fantastic way, you will be required to have someone from the Ministry at every show, watching you closely.
That, and you're accepted, though I don't like how you wrote your Personality, since it isn't in a Paragraph format. But I'll let it by for now. However, as you RP, I ask that you put more into his Personality in your profile.

He doesn't perform it during the shows, lol. The trace they explained was monitored in muggle homes and that in wizarding homes it was up to the parents to keep their children in line, so his father takes them on the road so he can practice and study during the summer. By taking him through more Wizard oriented areas there is less chance of him being caught. He needs all the help he can get with his other classes.

Character
Name: Anataynaera Richard Deily
Nicknames: Tanya
Age:
12/Second year
House:
Gryffindor
Gender:
Female
Blood:
Half-blood
Wand:
Cherry 9 and a half inches Phoenix Feather
Sexuality:
Straight
---------------
Personality
Tanya has always been curious as a little girl having grown up on a huge plot of land in North Dakota. That childish curiosity turned into adventurousness once they moved to New York which in comparison to the large country home was a huge compacted city where one could get lost for hours. Finally on her tenth birthday another new city was introduced to her as they moved to London and the exploration of the city came naturally.
Since she's a bit of a thrill-seeker, she's received a reputation for being a troublemaker. Usually this is because she ends up in the wrong place in the wrong time. Her studies in many of the hands-on classes are top notch because the interaction is what she thrives on. Homework for her is a bit of a challenge because she's often bored by it and then she wanders off in search of something to sate her adrenaline fueled head.
This adventuring spirt is helpful because it makes her a stronger person, both physically and mentally. Emotionally she's a rather hardy person on the outside, but underneath all the strong exterior is a rather vulnerable girl. She's extremely loyal and trusting of her friends but betrayal is hard for her to handle because of her inner vulnerability. A bit of an abrasive personality is a part of this bit of her, which can make her seem cold hearted but again for those who know her this abrasive attitude melts away to show the soft, caring person she is.
---------------
Weaknesses:
Abrasive attitude, unlucky troublemaker, short attention span for non-active activities such as reading homework and chess. Allergy to cocoa, including all forms of chocolate. Addicted to caffeinated sodas like Mountain Dew and Coca-Cola. Fatal flaw:Loyalty.
Strengths:
Undying loyalty, physically and mentally strong, dedicated, nearly fearless, Extremely curious, willing to learn
Secrets:
First she has a scar running from her right hand palm along her arm all the way to her left shoulder that came from her older brother Ferdinand playing with a antique scythe they found at an abandoned farm.
The second is her charm bracelet, a silver chain with a small ace of spades which belonged to her deceased mother, neither of these are life changing secrets, they're just things she doesn't like to share.
Patronus:
A wolf, because of her undying loyalty in her friends as well as her inner need for order even though being the rebel that breaks it.
Boggart:
Her boggart takes the shape of a hooded figure carrying a scythe. The figure itself is not what she fears but really what she fears is the scythe and the pain it brought her. This doesn't mean she fears pain but rather her fear is based on the pain. She also has had her boggart turn into a spider as well because its the only animal that scares her. The spider itself is a giant black widow and its fangs are dripping with venom.
---------------
Likes
She enjoys playing and watching Quidditch and soccer. She's also rather fond of exploring and the outdoors because there are nearly no bounds to where one can go. She loves blood red and often wears a pair of dark red ruby earrings just because she enjoys the color so much. She loves Charms, Herbology, Potions, Transfiguration, and Care of Magical Creatures all because they are hands on subjects.
---------------
Dislikes
She hates homework because it involves not doing anything but doing the work. Classes like History of Magic, Divination, Muggle Studies, etc. are not her strong subjects for the same reason. She absolutely fears spiders and old farm equipment because of childhood experiences. She also can't stand the posh and snooty because she came from a more humble background and doesn't like having money shoved in her face.
---------------
Looks
Build
Since she's still just a kid she isn't very tall only about 5'3". As well she's about even from top to bottom, though she's on the skinny side. She also doesn't have any bust because she's only eleven. Her only disfiguring feature is a relatively well hidden scar and it runs from center right palm to the back of her left shoulder from an old scythe her brother was playing with.
She has rather odd hair, having been born with white hair that eventually turned black except a streak across her forehead that stayed white and still is. She keeps her hair straight and around neck length in the back and bangs that can barley touch her eyebrows. Besides that her hair and face is fairly normal with a round head with decently tan skin. Her green eyes are evenly spaced. She has straight teeth and white teeth. She looks just right for her age which is exactly the way she likes it. Her father says she has her mother's eyes, a deep emerald green with no slant and mid sized eyelashes, that her father says give her the eyes of an older soul staring woman rather than the child she is.
Clothes
When she can afford it she wears real deal cowhand boots, not the frilly dress ones you can buy in fashion stores, with a pair of Levi's and a blood red tee shirt. She also always has the same pair of earrings in, a pair of simple dark red ruby studs. She usually follows the Hogwarts dress code, although she doesn't follow so much that its uncomfortable. On formal occasions she follows her Red theme with a slim red dress and heels. Her extra clothing for winter consists of a pair of snowboarding pants and a red parka for outside and for inside a ruby colored sweater without any embroidery. Her clothing style is casual, but neat and clean, the way she is. Also all her clothes are functional clothes, she rarely buys clothes that she can't use for multiple occasions.

After seven years of living in London they moved to North Dakota and Meria got pregnant again with Tanya. She died after giving birth to Tanya on March 23 at 11:56 p.m. Tanya was fairly normal except for her white streak in her hair, which she insisted on keeping for its uniqueness, She grew normally, except for the temper tantrums as a child which were billions times worse than normal toddlers and that everything turned unlucky during those times. She was kept at home in North Dakota and when they moved to the Bronx her father insisted on sending her to a private institution to keep her away from the bad crowds in the New York neighborhood, so the idea of a boarding school is not that new to her.The remaining family lived in North Dakota till Tanya was four then they moved to New York staying with their uncle. Then they moved again when Tanya was ten back to jolly old England. Tanya's older brother is a muggle, so it was a surprise finding the Hogwarts letter showed up for Tanya. It showed up the day of her eleventh birthday asking for her to join them at Hogwarts the next school year. Her first year was simple and went by without too many catastrophes with being in trouble, minus the load of dungbombs she dropped from the top floor down the main stairwell. That was a rather nasty day.
