personality


Strengths: Observant, Resourceful, Generous
Weaknesses: Energetic, Reckless, Vengeful

Libby Holmgren is an eleven year old wise beyond her years. People find her extremely energetic when they first meet so they think quite the opposite; she talks very fast and bounces around, not only on her toes, but in her conversations. Her mind works like sparks of thoughts and ideas but everything makes perfect sense to her. When she's tired she's easier to talk to.

People don't have to ask for Libby to volunteer, she always wants—no, needs to help. She has this urge to be useful and to make people she cares about happy. Even if that means to risk getting in trouble to do something at least a little justified, she will absolutely do it. Libby is generous not just with her time but with her things, too. Well, everything except things from her father.

Libby may be energetic but she's also very observant. Even while she's busy doing ten thousand other tasks, she notices even the smallest details because her mind is always wandering. She's not good at focusing unless things are calm and quiet but since that's rarely her eyes desperately try to find things that can temporarily satisfy the roaring sea in her head. She also uses any information she gathers in the best way as possible, even if that means keeping things hidden from others.

Her friendliness extends far but Libby has a vengeful spirit. She's incredibly nice but when someone does something to her, no matter how small, she has an urge to get back at them. It comes as an odd feeling that she just has to satisfy, but luckily it depends on if she feels like something isn't justified. Because she can be reckless on account of her thoughtless actions she rarely blames anyone else for her troubles but that's only, again, rarely.

appearance


Height: 5'1"
Weight: 82 lbs.

Libby is a true red head. Like the rest of her family she has thick hair like flames licking the air. She can barely manage it herself so she usually brushes it into her signature two ponytails or to be fancy she gets her sister to braid it, which is infamous for it's resistance. Resting above fiery red and bushy eyebrows, she has baby blue eyes that stand out against her pale pink skin. She doesn't have freckles or any redness, at least not when she's feeling normal.

Libby is tall and lanky, standing at exactly five feet one inch. Although she doesn't look like much, Libby weighs more than she looks and she's actually pretty strong. She grows fast so most of the time her clothing is either too short or too tight. She's very pretty but doesn't care much, or really at all, for her looks. She keeps herself very neat and clean, always seeming to smell like lemons because of the shampoo she uses heavily.

history


Full Name: Libby Maureen Holmgren
Birthday: November 18th, 2007

Almost twelve years ago, a little Libby Holmgren was born on the 18th of November. She was a very small baby but screeched the loudest out of all the others in the hospital. She became the third-born that day, the second daughter in the Holmgrens. Her parents are Jack and Lissa, childhood friends who became lovers. Unfortunately her father passed away when she was four years old, leaving her mother to support their family. They went to live with their grandparents in Harrow, England, which is where they stay now.

Gatsby is the oldest and a Gryffindor. He's sixteen and acts as the man of the house, despite the fact that he's at school most of the time. He strives to make his family name well-known and held high in the wizarding world by doing his best in everything he does. He's very judgemental and quick to point out mistakes in everything he sees. Although he's this way towards everyone, Libby feels like Gatsby is hardest on her because she seems to always make mistakes. She's the only person she's afraid to stand up against.

Alessandra is the second oldest. She's a fourth year Ravenclaw famous for her creative ideas. She's very motherly, even towards people older than her, like their mother. She's very graceful and talented, always having a solution for every problem. She's an analytical thinker but she's also very playful. Libby finds her sister annoying most of the time because her sister loves teasing her, since she has a short-temper. Alessandra is the only Holmgren who has brown eyes.

Noel is the youngest. He's nine years old and the most important thing in the world to Libby. He's painfully shy and too gentle for their older brother's today and being the only person younger than herself in her family, Libby grew up feeling like she needed to protect him. She'd fight for him in any way, shape, or form, even if it's against her parents. He's prone to crying and she hates seeing people cry because it makes her want to herself.

magic 


Libby was playing with her younger brother when her sister Alessandra decided to tease her. They got into an argument—really it was Libby yelling and her sister laughing her head off—and Libby threw a block at Alessandra. The block bounced around the wall and furniture, hitting everything in such an exaggerated way that they all knew it was magic. Her older siblings never practiced magic outside of school so Libby knew it wasn't her. Alessandra explained that her magic probably surfaced and although it wasn't in the best situation, Libby was glad her magic had finally surfaced.

wand


Libby's wand is made out of chestnut wood and kelpie hair. It's dark brown because of the wood and easy to use when it's handled properly. That's the difficult part, because Libby likes to go will-nilly when it comes to magic and she often ends up doing things she never meant to. Her wand is 31.2 centimeters long, which is twelve inches or the size of a ruler. The fine kelpie hair that makes up the core of her wand is something that mimics her wild and interchangeable side. That core is one of the reasons why Garrick Ollivander decided to become a wand maker.
