Dinara Lucey ✣ Second Year ✣ Hufflepuff  WIP

General
Jovial | Bubbly | Friendly | Genuine | Brave
Stubborn | Blunt | Insecure | Sensitive | Jealous
Excitable, bubbly and full of life -- People often have vastly contrasting opinions about young Dinara Lucey. Her status as a Muggle-born would've intimidated many others, but that's not an issue for this spunky young girl who's not afraid to speak her mind and flies about from social circle to social circle; a social butterfly if you've ever seen one. Not even the meanest of students could intimidate this fireball!

Though her forthrightness brings about a fresh breath of honesty and sincerity, Dinara has been remarked to be slightly too honest at times. This, coupled with her tendency to be slightly (or more than) judgemental often lands her in hot water, especially with those who are more sensitive.

Her outgoing nature masks her insecurity and her fear of being alone -- Dinara often feels the need to be included in everything and anything vaguely social. This stems from her belief that once she lags behind social activities, people will simply move on and forget about her.

Her childhood has also led to Dinara's fierce desire to befriend and gain the approval of people in positions of authority; be it professors, seniors, or even the house ghosts. Though she may remain rather stubborn and impervious to the opinions of her own batchmates or those younger than her, Dinara often takes the comments of those who she perceives to be 'superior' to heart.'

Ultimately, the Hufflepuff will always believe in these core values that she holds to heart:
Accountability, Compassion, Loyalty, Generosity, and Expressiveness.

Second Year
Slowly growing up...
Dinara Lucey hadn't undergone any massive transformation in terms of personality over the summer break, but her time in practicing Taekwondo has allowed her to mellow and humble down quite a fair bit, especially when talking to people that she judges (from the first impression) to be 'below' her. This could be in terms of size, or knowledge, or just general things -- the Hufflepuff's judgemental tendencies are slowly whittling little by little.

This didn't mean that she didn't judge at all; don't be surprised if she makes a face (instinctively) if someone does something that she thinks is 'dumb' or 'not cool'. Still, she has been making the effort to at least let others speak a line or two before she swings her little hammer down on her ultimate judgement.

Emotions-wise, the girl has learned to better channel her emotions into her martial art practice, which meant that 'in-your-face' outbursts were less frequent. Dinara is still incredibly bad at hiding anything that she's thinking, meaning that anyone with a decent amount of awareness would likely be able to decipher whatever she's thinking or feeling.

Despite all these, the girl still retained the majority of her traits. She remained bubbly, happy and brave. Brave in the sense that despite being scared, she'd still step up and take action if she feels like it means something to her, and generally just a friendly, happy kid with a softer heart than people might think.

It seems as though with her vanity phase came a growing amount of insecurity as well -- Dinara resorts to being utterly deluded in order to escape from her crippling fear of isolation. In her world, all attention is good attention, though she would not deny that sometimes the comments hurt her.

It was also in this year that Dinara Lucey would learn to battle her demons instead of avoiding them. As ironic as it may be, the girl was extremely eager to stand up to others that may challenge her world view, but she was terrified of facing her own issues. Through the years, Dinara would slowly learn to manage these issues and not run from them forever.

Brown, Shoulder-Length Curly Hair | Warm Hazel Eyes | Button Nose | Round Face
4' 3" | 57 lbs | Lean-Fit
With a head of chestnut brown hair that falls to her shoulders and a pair of warm brown eyes, Dinara's appearance is a large contributor to her wide social circle. She was no beauty, to be sure, often appearing more raggedy than anything else. hair often falls in untamed waves, yet her rosy cheeks and her cheeky smile creates an image of an extremely warm and inviting person.

Her features are generally round -- from her doe-eyes, her button nose and her puckered lips; the girl looked about as innocent as can be, though anyone who had interacted with her would've known that was far from the truth. Her bushy eyebrows takes attention away from her otherwise long-lashed doe eyes that, frankly, served to be the only attractive feature on her face.

Though she wouldn't be considered conventionally attractive as opposed to other students who took more care and pride in their appearance, something about Dinara presents her as a rather likeable person; people often find it easy enough to talk to her, though that could have been attributed to her forthcoming personality.

Even at the age of 11, Dinara stands at a tiny 4' 3" (130cm). Though she doesn't look particularly skinny or frail, her height is more than enough for others to poke fun of. This doesn't deter her, however, in fact, she takes pride in her small size and often utilises it to her advantage. Her frame is typically concealed by her overly-large school robes due to her mother's beliefs in practicality -- Dinara will eventually grow into those robes, anyway. Still, the robes being over-sized contributed to her clothes often looking worn out and dirty, notwithstanding the fact that Dinara was expected to wear the same set of robes till Year 4 at the very least.

Second Year
A 'vanity' phase had begun for Dinara Lucey, though it seemed to be working to her detriment.
Finding joy in donning anything vaguely sparkly and pink, the 'new and improved' Second Year Dinara was a prime target for any bullies who may be lurking around Hogwarts, though they'd be surprised to find that Dinara wasn't the pushover they likely thought she'd be.

A shiny Swarovski crystal encrusted tiara sat atop the monstrosity that could barely be called hair. In the true spirit of 'if you can't beat them, join them', it seemed that there had been an attempt to curl Dinara's already frizzy natural curls, resulting in what looking more like a sick lion's mane -- matted, disheveled and all around unpleasant to look at. She had also opted in for an 'avant garde' look, choosing to have side swept bangs that were curled as well. Overall, not a cute look.

If one has the bravery to further examine this specimen, their gaze would trail down from her hair to see a... face. That is, a face with horrendously bright colours -- her eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick were all bright, pigmented colours that clashed horribly so, courtesy of Mrs Lucey's stolen makeup that Dinara had nicked over the summer break. There was also an attempt to fill in her brows, though any reasonable person would already see that Dinara's already abundant natural brows were in no need of filling in. As a result, she appeared to have some form of unibrow that very happily made itself at home on her face.

Should the brave soul not be deterred at this point, they would continue to further observe Dinara. A pink, faux mink fur coat wrapped about the outside of her robes, and a shiny engagement ring sat atop her ring finger. These, coupled with the fact that her robes were still oversized, caused the overall effect of her 'transformation' to resemble a sasquatch more than anything else.

Loud | Lower-Pitched | Clear | Pleasant
Nose-Wrinkling | Lip Chewing
Dinara has the tendency to be very animated when conversing, from hand gestures to exaggerated facial expressions -- there's never a dull moment when talking to this fireball!

Her voice naturally rings out loudly and clearly, it's hard for someone to miss the natural born shoutcaster that is Dinara Lucey. With that being said, it is not as high-pitched as one would have expected from her appearance. In fact, it was lower than most girls her age, a pleasant, warm sound.

When thinking, she tends to chew on her lips; a bad habit in itself. Granted, people associate lip-chewing with flirtatiousness. Definitely not the case for Dinara Lucey, as instead of a coy, gentle lip bite, the girl chomps down on her bottom lip. Still sort of cute -- almost looking like some weird overgrown squirrel, but definitely not attractive in the traditional sense. The girl's go-to facial expression would be her nose wrinkle: She does it as a natural, instinctive reaction that does not reflect her mood whatsoever -- really giving off little rodent vibes.

Second Year

True to her vanity phase, Dinara has taken to posing as per the fashion blogs' supermodel posing tips at every possible opportunity -- one hand on hip, one leg bent and extended to give the illusion of length, shoulders back and chest outwards. Of course, her poor execution renders her looking rather... Bent.

Dinara has also opted to lapse into some sort of a fusion between a Southern Belle and a French accent in an attempt to sound 'posh', although this accent very easily slips up as soon as she is displaced from her calm demeanour (which is incredibly easy to achieve).

[quote]The Lucey family had a bloodline of cats that had been passed down since Dinara's great grandfather's time. Duke, who is the family's 9th cat since the original had passed on, is a beautiful male ragdoll cat with distinctive markings on his face and pale blue eyes.

Imagine her parents' shock when they came home to see Dinara playing with what seemed like a tiger cub. This shock further intensified after the "tiger cub's" appearance changed several times -- from a pink zebra to a red polka-dotted pattern, before settling back down into the familiar cat they've so affectionately raised their whole lives.

Delighted with what she believed was a particularly vivid 'make-believe' play session with Duke, Dinara's joy was further escalated when her parents stammered out that they could see what happened. This then marked the day that Dinara Lucey realised her magical potential...

[quote]Born to a rather unassuming Muggle household, Dinara lived her life as a regular child in a small, suburban community. Growing up as the middle child, Dinara was often overlooked in favour of her high-achieving elder brother and her newly-born younger sister.

This, in turn, led her to seek out as many friends as possible in order to fill her desire for familial attention. Though this never managed to replace her desire for her family's attention, it helped in establishing her social skills and her confidence in handling social situations.

Now that Dinara has found her way to Hogwarts, she hopes to integrate herself amongst the various social groups -- regardless of house. Though her loyalty to Hufflepuff still holds true, she ultimately aims to become close friends and deeply involved with people from all houses.

✣First Year✣
Dinara's first year at Hogwarts passed by relatively uneventfully, though she did have many chances to participate in school chaos; namely the Hufflepuff Christmas Party (aka Deck The Halls)-- where students and Professors alike got the chance to get more than up close and personal with some absolutely furious Bowtruckles, as well as the Blossom Ball, which led to run-ins with some creepy shenanigans in the Forbidden Forest.

All things aside, it was also the year that Dinara Lucey became appointed as a Prefect of Hufflepuff -- Something that she had written back home to boast about more than a couple of times. An absolute turning point in her life that dictated much personal growth and maturity in thinking.

In the realm of personal relationships, the one person that truly made an impact in her First Year was a rather mischevious rascal known as Remy Alto. A true enigma to ever roam the halls of Hogwarts -- he continues to puzzle Dinara well into her Second Year.
