B. Appearance
FIRST YEAR, ELEVEN YEARS OLD
Reducio
Hair: Erin's hair is a dark black color with the texture of fine silk; her mother used to insist on brushing it every morning for her to so it remained tangle-free and long. Now, it hangs loosely mid-back and is either put into a half-bun when she is inventing or left to sway wildly.
Skin: Her complexion is more of a light nude, not necessarily pale, but it's obvious she doesn't play outside often.
Eyes: She has very light brown eyes that turn near black in the dark. They differ greatly from her father's cold and determined azure and they don't quite match her mother's witty emerald glint either. Erin has a spark that would have you guessing what her next move may be.
Height: She's quite short for eleven years old, a measly 132 centimeters (4 foot 4 inches).
Weight: Roughly 46 kilograms (101 pounds), however she is not frail in the slightest.
Markings:: Her hands are littered with miniscule cuts from when she has an incident with one of her machines and she has to dig into it's mechanical guts to find the issue.
Physical Features: With thick eyebrows and large eyes, Erin sort of looks like a small China doll. She only has a few dark marks littering her jawline and cheek. She walks with her shoulders hunched slightly, but quickly changes posture when sitting with a large group: back straight, knees bent, and elbows off the table. She has a mischievous aura, but whether she actually hid the vegetables meant for dinner or not, well, that's another story.

C. Persona
ISTP Personality-type (The Virtuoso)
While Erin's mechanical tendencies can make her appear simple at a glance, she is actually quite enigmatic. Friendly but very private, calm but suddenly spontaneous, extremely curious but unable to stay focused on formal studies, she can be a challenge to predict, even by her friends and loved ones. Erin can seem very loyal and steady for a while, but she tends to build up a store of impulsive energy that explodes without warning, taking her interests in bold new directions.ISTPs love to explore with their hands and their eyes, touching and examining the world around them with cool rationalism and spirited curiosity. People with this personality type are natural Makers, moving from project to project, building the useful and the superfluous for the fun of it, and learning from their environment as they go. Often mechanics and engineers, ISTPs find no greater joy than in getting their hands dirty pulling things apart and putting them back together, just a little bit better than they were before.
Erin's decisions stem from a sense of practical realism, and at her heart is a strong sense of direct fairness, a "do unto others" attitude, which really helps to explain many of her puzzling traits. Instead of being overly cautious though (avoiding stepping on toes in order to avoid having her toes stepped on), she is likely to go too far, accepting likewise retaliation(good or bad) as fair play.
The biggest issue she is likely to face is that she often acts too soon, taking for granted her permissive nature and assuming that others are the same. She'll be the first to tell an insensitive joke, get overly involved in someone else’s project, roughhouse and play around, or suddenly change her plans because something more interesting came up.
She will come to learn that many other personality types have much more firmly drawn lines on rules and acceptable behavior than she does – they usually don't want to hear an insensitive joke, and certainly wouldn’t tell one back, and they wouldn’t want to engage in horseplay, even with a willing party. If a situation is already emotionally charged, violating these boundaries can backfire tremendously, which is exactly what Erin does unknowingly and knowingly, getting her into trouble.
Erin has particular difficulty in predicting emotions, but this is just a natural extension of her fairness, given how difficult it is to gauge her emotions and motivations. However, her tendency to explore her relationships through her actions rather than through empathy can lead to some very frustrating situations. Erin struggles with boundaries and guidelines, preferring the freedom to move about and color outside the lines if she needs to.
Finding an environment where she can work with good friends who understand her style and unpredictability, combining her creativity, sense of humor and hands-on approach to build practical solutions and things, will give Erin many happy years of building useful boxes – and admiring them from the outside.
Strengths: Optimistic, energetic, creative, practical, spontaneous, logical, knows how to prioritize, great in a crisis, relaxed, ambitious, wise
Weaknesses: Stubborn, insensitive, private, reserved, easily bored, dislikes commitment, risky behavior

WAND
Reducio
Chestnut
"This is a most curious, multi-faceted wood, which varies greatly in its character depending on the wand core, and takes a great deal of colour from the personality that possesses it. The wand of chestnut is attracted to witches and wizards who are skilled tamers of magical beasts, those who possess great gifts in Herbology, and those who are natural fliers. However, when paired with dragon heartstring, it may find its best match among those who are overfond of luxury and material things, and less scrupulous than they should be about how they are obtained. Conversely, three successive heads of the Wizengamot have possessed chestnut and unicorn wands, for this combination shows a predilection for those concerned with all manner of justice."
Snallygaster Heartstring
Once believed to be a type of dragon, this bird—reptile hybrid has found its way onto the pages of many a Muggle newspaper. Snallygaster heartstrings can be used as wand cores and primarily sub-sectioned in the Dragon criteria.
Extract from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
by Newt Scamander
"As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner.
The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental."

DragonNative to North America, the part-bird, part-reptile Snallygaster was once believed to be a kind of dragon, but is now known to be a distant relative of the Occamy. It cannot breathe fire, but possesses fangs of serrated steel with which it slices through its prey. The Snallygaster has frequently endangered the International Statute of Secrecy. Its natural curiosity, coupled with a bulletproof hide, renders it difficult to scare away and the Snallygaster has found its way into Muggle newspapers with such frequency that it sometimes ties with the Loch Ness Monster for ‘Most Publicity-Hungry Beast’. Since 1949, a dedicated Snallygaster Protection League has been stationed permanently in Maryland to Obliviate Muggles who see it.

Tyto the Lesser Sooty Owl
Extract from Pottermore
by J.K. Rowling
The Lesser Sooty Owl is a strictly nocturnal bird. He hides during the day in dense foliage, between tangles of aerial roots, in all kinds of crevices, or beneath overhanging banks and hunts in clearings and near roads, but also inside the forest. Lesser Sooty Owls hunt mainly small mammals, but also take insects and some birds. They generally hunt from low perches and take prey on the ground.
Tyto is a male Lesser Sooty Owl so he is only a few kilograms. Erin's father took her to Diagon Alley and, despite her love for the dark and broody felines, she saw Tyto at the very top of Eeylops Owl Emporium & Magical Menagerie and his small stature was what caught her eye. Since he is exclusively nocturnal, Erin saves all of the letters she intends to send home over the week and sends him off in the late hours of the night during the weekends. When he's not working the postal service, Tyto can be found perched inside his cage either ruffling his feathers or sleeping during the day. Erin doesn't mind an animal with a different sleeping schedule than her. Despite it all, Tyto is incredibly attached to the young witch and sometimes will perch upon her bedpost to sleep.
Extract from Pottermore
by J.K. Rowling
"Owls have often had a reputation for being wise, but there have also been numerous myths portraying them as bringers of death and dark prophecy.
Because owls are mostly nocturnal, with night-vision and an innate hunting instinct, superstitions about their magical power have been associated with the darker side of witchcraft. For some, witches were believed to be shape-shifters, able to turn into other creatures at night – like the Animagi of the wizarding world but generally with sinister intent. In certain cultures, owls were recognised as a favourite form of these shape-shifters. Shakespeare’s use of the owl’s shriek to signal the death of King Duncan in Macbeth shows how owls were seen as evil omens during the Renaissance.
So, like the witches and wizards they serve so efficiently in the wizarding world, owls have been the subject of Muggle superstition. It’s a pity: they run a very efficient postal service."

BOGGART
Reducio
Erin is deathly afraid of small, enclosed spaces. Anything not adequately large enough to fit her full height is somewhere she will not venture into. Spots that require her to crouch and/or crawl gives her intense anxiety and halfway through the endeavor she will most likely retreat and refuse to continue onward. Her Boggart would most likely reveal itself to her as an ominous object that could fit her profile, but once inside the object would shrink slowly, trapping Erin within it's walls. Potential objects could be: a closet, a box, a ball, etc..
AMORTENTIA
Reducio
To Erin, the most powerful love potion in the world smells strongly of peppermint patties and pine with a slight ting of oil. Peppermint patties are one of her most favorite sweets and she could only guess that she can distinctly pick up a whiff of old oil because that's what she uses to loosen up stubborn parts on her machines - her one true loves (at eleven that is). Pine doesn't grow much near her estate... She only shrugs at the thought of possibly using such a dastardly potion on a poor soul, unless she was getting something extravagant out of that situation.

E. History
PRE-HOGWARTS
Reducio
Birthplace: Belfast, Ireland
Parents: Ramona O'Flannagan, mother and Desmond O'Flannagan, father
Sibling: Demetrius O'Flannagan
History/Background Story: Erin Mina-Mauve O'Flan was born May 4th, 2006 at 6:44am, roughly 2,7 kilograms and healthy all around in the heart of Belfast, Ireland. She was born four years after her elder brother Demetrius, who currently resides in Ravenclaw as a Fifth Year. Her parents, Ramona and Desmond met during their years at Hogwarts, her mother being a Ravenclaw Graduate and her father a Slytherin Head Boy Graduate. Their relationship blossomed during their Seventh Year and after leaving Hogwarts behind they married and settled into her father's family estate in Ireland.
As far as Erin knows, her parents were a lively couple who showered their son with as much love and affection they could muster. He hung mostly under their mother's wing, having a knack for more analytical or trivial tasks such as writing and reading. Her parents taught Demetrius just as they taught her, shaping him into the incredibly handsome and polite aristocrat he is today at Hogwarts, no doubt the Prefect that gets on your tail-coats when you linger too long in the stairwell. When Erin arrived, Demetrius just beginning his personal family learning, her parents were still very involved with their children. Once their son went off to Hogwarts and Erin had already been introduced to the lifestyle, her parents relationship began to suffer and it took it's toll on the young girl. Her father spent many nights in his workshop and often refused to eat his meals anywhere else. Her mother threw herself more into The Daily Prophet and spent a majority of her time traveling the world looking for worthwhile stories to tell.
Despite the rift forming, they placed Erin into as many extracurricular activities outside of primary and elementary school that they possibly could. Her grades were average, but she excelled in other things such as robotics, woodworking, and even simple mechanics. It wasn't a surprise to find the young one rummaging in junk piles and garbage disposals to find the perfect pieces for the machines she made, perfectly replicated from her father's. These simple skills gave Erin the confidence and arrogance that she carries around to this day, even as a young girl, learning about witches and wizards, she wasn't afraid to think about the possibility that she may never manifest her abilities. She knew that, if worst-case scenario, she never became a witch, she would still be able to make a living doing the muggle things that she loved. Her parents rewarded her knowledge with more knowledge, encouraging her to take up as many skills as her growing mind could muster. On special occasions, her father would allow her in his workshop and let her to use some of his old tools. This was when Erin would sneak peeks at her father's blueprints and replicate his most prized possessions, but on a smaller scale to fit her hands.
When Ramona and Desmond finally divorced, a year before the Hogwarts letter arrived, they reassured their daughter that nothing in the house would change. Things did change, however Erin was convinced it was for the better. Her mother was around much more, vowing that she would teach her daughter more than just what the wizarding world would offer. Living lavishly in an estate had blinded Ramona to her own childhood roots, the ones that grew in Kenmare, Ireland where her and her sisters would run wild through the forest and build swings from ropes and branches. She realized how deprived her daughter was of the outside world. Turning ten was a confusing time for Erin, with a mother who was now smothering her and pushing her to do such vile things (such as horseback-riding or cooking), a father that only ever wrote letters, and an older brother that only ridiculed her bad habits and strange hobbies, she was joyous when her powers became true.
The last time she saw her parents together was at the train station. Her mother was crying and her father was genuinely attempting to comfort her. Being a witch would come with many responsibilities, but Erin was content knowing that she had basically been prepared since birth for this journey. Since arriving to Hogwarts, she was placed on that rickety chair and introduced to the Sorting Hat. She would later learn that those painstakingly long five minutes she spent beneath that enchanted hat had a name. A Hatstall. The Sorting Hat agonized between placing her in Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Erin might have caused it much turmoil when she attempted to just choose Ravenclaw out of desperation; her brother's incredulous stare boring into her from across the room. Though she won't ever admit it, she was relieved to be placed into Slytherin house.

FIRST YEAR
Welcome to Hogwarts
Encyclopedia Page
The Sorting Hat Ceremony
Reducio
The Slytherin Table"O'Flan, Erin!"
The collection of First Years not yet sorted parted eerily, allowing the young raven-haired girl to make her way up to the stage without running into any shoulders. Erin willed herself to not be frightened of what the Sorting Hat may tell her; she promised to be strong for both mother and father, no matter where she was placed in Hogwarts. With a deep breath she walked up to the stool, took a seat and assisted with placing the monstrous hat upon her small head. She kept a calm demeanor as she folded her hands politely and waited for the Sorting Hat to animate once more. So many other children had already been sorted without a fuss, it was time for Erin find out who her second family may be.
"Ah, my dear, the Sorting Hat began to spring to life a top her head, swaying slightly to gain better balance on the girl's mound of dark hair, "welcome to Hogwarts. I'm so pleased that the O'Flan's youngest has finally come to join us. A spark burns brightly inside you, one full of courage and arrogance all the same, you could fit into Gryffindor..." A Gryffindor? Erin couldn't see herself donning such bright and broody colors. What a preposterous image! She wanted to make a name for herself, grow up surrounded by a House where nobody questioned why she was there. "I see." The She wouldn't be appreciated there. Erin needed a path that would effectively pave her road towards a solid future. Two minutes had now turned into three. Her eyes scanned the Great Hall, subconsciously Sorting Hat fell silent for quite sometime, the minutes ticking by like molasses. Anxiety gnawed at her throat. A glass of water right would sure do the trick.
The Hat spoke once more, pulling Erin away from her thoughts of scrumptious roast turkey and pumpkin juice. "Loyalty for your family and their traditions; a hunger for friends and fun, traits most associated with Hufflepuff..." She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Hufflepuff was a stern no. she was looking for her older brother.
"No, no, no," the Hat made a sort of clicking noise, as if it was scolding even himself for the thought, "another O'Flan to join Ravenclaw perhaps?" Erin felt a ball of disappointment fill her chest. Ravenclaw was a wonderful House, her brother Demetrius had been raving about it since he was sorted four years ago. She could grow-up to be just like her mother. Her mother was wise beyond her years and yet full of so much childhood wit. Could she live a happy life as a Ravenclaw? Her eyes finally fell upon her brother, short black hair falling loosely over his brows... brows that were raised questionably at Erin. He probably thought she was questioning the Hat's choices - that she was scared to be put into a House at all.
Erin clutched her fists firmly, her eyes boring into her brother's thick skull before tearing them away to look up at the Sorting Hat. No! I have to find my own way. "It would be the perfect place for you to gain more knowledge and feed your current inhibitions. However, Slytherin is where your talents would blossom tremendously. I am torn young witch. She couldn't believe it, the Sorting Hat couldn't decide where to place her. She was a witch! She had come all this way knowing that she belonged at this school. "Ravenclaw.... Slytherin..." Three minutes had turned to four and four minutes was slowly creeping to five.
She wanted to push the Hat to make a decision, but what if she chose wrong? What if meddling with the Hat's all-knowing sorting abilities placed her someplace where she would forever be unhappy. "Slytherin.... Ravenclaw?" On the train-ride here she had vowed to become the greatest witch this generation had ever seen. Erin's teeth were set on-edge, however a calm, icy façade was still etched across her features. With shoulder's pushed back and chin held high, she awaited the Sorting Hat's answer. The clock struck five minutes.
"SLYTHERIN!"
"Thank you," she whispered. The Great Hall exploded in a fit of applause, the wait was over and Erin was let down from the stool and ushered towards the other students clad in green and silver.
The collection of First Years not yet sorted parted eerily, allowing the young raven-haired girl to make her way up to the stage without running into any shoulders. Erin willed herself to not be frightened of what the Sorting Hat may tell her; she promised to be strong for both mother and father, no matter where she was placed in Hogwarts. With a deep breath she walked up to the stool, took a seat and assisted with placing the monstrous hat upon her small head. She kept a calm demeanor as she folded her hands politely and waited for the Sorting Hat to animate once more. So many other children had already been sorted without a fuss, it was time for Erin find out who her second family may be.
"Ah, my dear, the Sorting Hat began to spring to life a top her head, swaying slightly to gain better balance on the girl's mound of dark hair, "welcome to Hogwarts. I'm so pleased that the O'Flan's youngest has finally come to join us. A spark burns brightly inside you, one full of courage and arrogance all the same, you could fit into Gryffindor..." A Gryffindor? Erin couldn't see herself donning such bright and broody colors. What a preposterous image! She wanted to make a name for herself, grow up surrounded by a House where nobody questioned why she was there. "I see." The She wouldn't be appreciated there. Erin needed a path that would effectively pave her road towards a solid future. Two minutes had now turned into three. Her eyes scanned the Great Hall, subconsciously Sorting Hat fell silent for quite sometime, the minutes ticking by like molasses. Anxiety gnawed at her throat. A glass of water right would sure do the trick.
The Hat spoke once more, pulling Erin away from her thoughts of scrumptious roast turkey and pumpkin juice. "Loyalty for your family and their traditions; a hunger for friends and fun, traits most associated with Hufflepuff..." She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Hufflepuff was a stern no. she was looking for her older brother.
"No, no, no," the Hat made a sort of clicking noise, as if it was scolding even himself for the thought, "another O'Flan to join Ravenclaw perhaps?" Erin felt a ball of disappointment fill her chest. Ravenclaw was a wonderful House, her brother Demetrius had been raving about it since he was sorted four years ago. She could grow-up to be just like her mother. Her mother was wise beyond her years and yet full of so much childhood wit. Could she live a happy life as a Ravenclaw? Her eyes finally fell upon her brother, short black hair falling loosely over his brows... brows that were raised questionably at Erin. He probably thought she was questioning the Hat's choices - that she was scared to be put into a House at all.
Erin clutched her fists firmly, her eyes boring into her brother's thick skull before tearing them away to look up at the Sorting Hat. No! I have to find my own way. "It would be the perfect place for you to gain more knowledge and feed your current inhibitions. However, Slytherin is where your talents would blossom tremendously. I am torn young witch. She couldn't believe it, the Sorting Hat couldn't decide where to place her. She was a witch! She had come all this way knowing that she belonged at this school. "Ravenclaw.... Slytherin..." Three minutes had turned to four and four minutes was slowly creeping to five.
She wanted to push the Hat to make a decision, but what if she chose wrong? What if meddling with the Hat's all-knowing sorting abilities placed her someplace where she would forever be unhappy.
