You have to apply for a magical race/talent within 30 days after your validation (being sorted). Applications posted after this limit won't be accepted. Also please note that applying for a race/talent/ability does not automatically approve your whole encyclopedia. You still have to register for index using this thread: Registration. Ideally you will post in the registration thread before posting here. However, you don't have to wait for your registration to be approved before posting here since there is a 30-day deadline for races/talents.

Detailed descriptions of magical races/talents and special abilities can be found by clicking this link: [here]. As referenced in that link, the following magical races/talents can be applied for:
  • Dhampir (Race) (Blood status will be changed to half-breed)

Note that in order to get your blood status changed after application approval, you must owl your Head of House with the proof of your race/talent approval.

For those that wish to forego a magical race or talent, they would remain completely human and gain +5 stat points (for a total of 35 for first years) that they can allocate wherever they wish and apply for an ability instead. There are over 50 abilities that you can apply for. Please make sure that you fulfill the prerequisites of the abilities before you apply for them. Special abilities are gained every year for humans, and every other year for magical races/talents (who gain race/talent specific abilities in the years that they don't choose).

Name of Ability or Race| Dhampir
Describe why it Fits my Character|
Ann-Elisabeth Dewlight knew about the magical part of the world. Was she a witch? No, she wasn’t. She had landed into the magical world, by being a different being, humanoid, sure, but still feared by many. She was a vampire.

Skin sickly pale, never touched by the rays of the sun. Eyes black as the night sky, and fangs as sharp and long as a beasts. Sleeping during the day, only to avoid the light of the sun, which was nothing but harm to her frail, dead skin.

A child of the night was what many called her or the living dead, others would call her a beast, a monster. Still, she had never done anything wrong. Ann’s parents could easily fit those words better. Killers and monsters. They would kill humans back in their days, quietly, hidden away from authorities.

Their family had been full blooded vampires for generations, if they had known Ann would fall in love with a wizard, and have a Dhampir child. They would probably have ripped her head right off her body. They believed that unclean blood was nothing but a disgrace to the family line.

Ann Elisabeth wanted nothing to do with her family. They brought her nothing but guilt, sadness and fear. She could not live like that anymore. So Ann ran away. She wanted nothing to do with her parents, she did not know where her grandparents were, or if they were even alive, but she did not want to know. She knew what she needed to know, and that was that they were bad people, they were not like her.

Even though running away would give Ann a chance at a new life, it would never let her experience the feeling of sunlight hitting her skin. Or the taste of garlic bread, but she would take this chance to start over, finding a way to be happy, away from her past.

Leaving her home country of Norway, to find a new life, she ended up in England. How? Pure instinct she liked to say. It was where she met, and fell in love with Tom. He was absolutely not a vampire, but he had, in common with Ann, knowledge of the magical world. For he, was a wizard, pure blood to be exact.

His family too, were under the beliefs that pure blood was the superior, though, he did not agree with them. They became furious when they found out that Ann and Tom were going to have a child, or to their surprise, two children. Not only would the children be half muggle, half wizard, but that child would have traces of Vampire in their blood. So Tom’s parents cut all contact with him, leaving him unknowing of their placement in the world.

After Ann later found out that her parents had been taken away, from others finding out of their evil actions toward the population, Ann and Tom decided to move to Norway to raise their children there. They ended up having twins, a boy named Hunter, and a girl named River. They moved to Norway because it was a quiet country. They found a place outside of any busy town or city. They bought a farm and lived there in peace together. Just the four of them.

Application: Metamorph
Link to Encyclopedia: Alan Vanes
Name of Race: Metamorph
Reason
(below the quote box)
Stats: Total:35 | Sta: 9 | Ev: 7 | Str: 2 | Wis: 4 | Arc: 8 | Acc: 5


The Metamorphmagi race is not that common as it is neither dominant nor trained. Yet there had been a few instances in the Vanes family of the race showing in the genetics of a child. Apparently the father of Alan's grandfather had married a woman with the ability to morph her appearance into whichever look she pleased, but it would never change her form completely. This trait had afterwards been dormant and has been re-discovered in the family tree when young Alan Vanes showed symptoms or signs that would make his physical features morph until the toddler barerly resembled his own person.

Alan has never met his great grandmother as she had died before his birth. He was not even old enough to understand his abilities or difference from other kids his age or simply humans who were not a part of that race. His parents did not treat him any different though, as his ability was not able to harm anyone. However they had to be more careful when they walked through places Muggles were known to be present, had to avoid such places until Alan was old enough to mostly keep his ability in check. Alan has problems to concentrate so his race shows a lot, even in daily tasks that seem simple.

He was about three years old when his race showed first signs, whenever he would laugh specks of golden color would sprinkle his eyes, making his eyes of a more vibrant emerald than his pale green eyes. Whenever he was mad or throwing a temper tantrum at his young age his hair would turn red, or the nails on his fingers would sharpen into claws. There are many ways his ability showed and until he got a bit older there was a wild variety in how his emotions influenced his physical appearance. As a child he would switch through many changes but the older he got the less noticeable or changing they got in the daily life. Only sudden surges of emotion will change his appearance drastically and they usually depend on his mood and thoughts in that moment. If he is for example close to animals or creatures his physical traits often would morph into something that resembles the animal. Be it claws or horns when being mad, feathers in his hair or a tail when being happy. Sometimes it would even go as far as manifesting non-functional wings. But when he is focusing well enough he is able to keep the effect small. The colored specks in his eyes would be one way along with strands that appeared in his hair or sometimes colored it completely.

All in all the way his ability does show when used accidental, with the emotional influence, then they will vary a lot, because he has little control over the outcome. However he himself has difficulties on choosing to turn. It is one of his greatest challenges to will his body to transform at wish, making only a few physical traits possible at the same time. With a great deal of concentration he could even transform himself into another student or teacher, but his concentration usually does not last long enough for the change to stay for more than a few seconds. But he does his best to use it and often uses it for fun. For example to make someone laugh or to gently mock someone. Alan is not someone who would abuse this ability, at least not at a present point. He would stretch the limits of what is accepted usage of his ability but he would not for example steal the identification of a professor to get someone into trouble or have more power over someone.

Alan is training his ability to transform daily, by doing simple tasks. Not every task requires him to change a physical trait though. Some of the task are for his concentration and focus, which so far has been the major problem for him to use his race to its full potential. However he also does physical training for his ability where he tries to influence a small trait of himself, such as his hair color or eye color. He tries to keep those changes for a period of time until he gives himself a break and calls it a success.

So if Alan were to become this race, it would show a lot of presence in his threads and way of interaction as he is a very emotional child that usually does not hide his emotions well. The ability that comes with this race would amplify this a lot and would open a lot of interaction possibilities.

Name of Ability or Race that you Are Applying for: Metamorphagus

Describe why this fits your character (not why you the player want it):

Metamorphagy is an extremely rare and spectacular, possibly an even dangerous ability. And to their fortune, the Scrivener family has had it in their family for generations. It all started with Marla's great grandmother, Juliet, who by some miracle inherited the metamorphagi gene. It was then passed down to her grand-daughter, and Marla's mother, Aurelia. Who then after that, passed the ability down to Marla.

But the girl was never able to understand why she could somehow shift how she looked. It didn't help that both of the people who could actually help her control her metamorphagy were gone. Juliet being dead  years before Marla was even born and Aurelia disappearing when she was only one, soon after being presumed dead.

In the beginning, Marla's family had an inkling of what was happening but they couldn't exactly admit it to themselves until she was around four years old. They were still grieving about the once beautiful, witty, and smart Aurelia that now fled and wanted to stay as far away from her family as possible. It was hard to face Marla when she and her mother were almost uncanny, except for the red hair. But with the metamorphagy added on with that? It may not seem like a big deal, but that just made Marla's family resent her even more. The small Gryffindor's ability became quite obvious as she got older. When she was really excited, sometimes her already golden eyes would get even brighter. As if they were glowing. Or her hair would get a more vibrant red. Really vibrant, actually. As if it was painted to look neon. But if she was angry? That was a completely different story. Her eyes would turn a deep crimson, or her fingernails would become longer and pointy. On rare occasions when she was really angry, the girl would even grow a centimeter or two.

When angry or ecstatic, Marla is able to control her appearance at ease. But after finding out from her family that she was a metamorphagus and actually practiced it... It was much harder than the girl ever anticipated. She couldn't even grow a singular fingernail without feeling exhausted. The fact that she was aware of her capability and not being able to use any of it was insanely frustrating. And so, it motivated her to try and teach herself how to control her ability properly. She started out with trying to change her hair color, since that was always something that she had been a bit insecure about, and eventually was able to start growing her eyelashes and alter her nose a bit. Overall it wasn't much, but to Marla, it was a huge step in her life, being able to do the small things was big for her. Especially because of all the sheer time and effort she'd put into it. She uses it as much as she can, at least in Hogwarts. Mostly for jokes, since she can't exactly alter her appearance very much at this point in time. And she doesn't feel like showing it off, since Marla isn't one to be an attention seeker.

But one of the bigger reasons why Marla would be fitting for metamorphagy is that this would most likely be the start on why she would try to find her mother again. There aren't any known teachers with metamorphagy at Hogwarts, and the students who have the ability aren't very experienced yet. So, if she could find her mother, it would do good for training herself how to alter her appearance. It would also progress Marla trying to figure out the mystery of her mother's disappearance. Was she actually dead or were the death accusations just because nobody could find her? This ability would also give Marla discipline and help her calm down her hyperactivity. Having to focus for long periods of time would do the girl some good, especially with her rapid mind. This could also open up new thread opportunities and overall benefit Marla and the way her story is told over the course of time.

Race: Werewolf

Reason for race: Kyle’s parents were Aurors. They put a lot of effort and time into being great at this job,  not only for their own pride but because of the stigma that surrounded being from Slytherin. Because of this they tracked down dark wizards, and dark and dangerous beasts ruthlessly to either put them away or put them down. While this made them good at their jobs it also made them more than one enemy over the years. It was only a matter of time before one such enemy was able to track them down and make a move against them in revenge.

It was during a full moon a few months before their son was to begin his time at hogwarts, and they couldn’t be any happier. His parents had been celebrating and having friends over to party often, making sure they made as much of the time they had with their son before he went away every year for school. Because of this their guards were down and they were nowhere near as cautious or observant as they usually were, or they might have noticed the approaching danger.

Soon after their son went to bed the couple were sitting in the dining room when Sean heard a noise from outside, but he paid it no mind. Moments later the front door exploded inwards And a large Werewolf charged into the house, his claws digging into the wooden floor as it let out a loud howl and snarled visously. It charged towards the two and Sean stepped forward to protect his wife ”get your wand!” he called out and he was tackled, smashing into the table as the werewolf Slammed it’s large fists into him and threw him around the room, crashing into things. While Sean struggled against the beast, striking it with what he could Kait quickly gathered the two of their Wands.

Upstairs Kyle heard the commotion and quickly flew out of bed and ran downstairs and looked on in horror at the situation going down. He saw his father bloodied and bruised but doing his best to hold off the beast as his mom came back in, a bright blue light flashing from her wand and knocking the werewolf off of his father. It snarled and pounced on her and Kyle knew he had to do something. He ran to the fireplace and grabbed the fire poker out of the lit flames and quickly approached and struck the beast as hard as he could on the back of the head. Once, twice, and as he pulled back for a third the werewolf turned backhanded him backwards. As he struggled to his feet he felt sharp teeth drive into his shoulder and the last things he heard as the world crumbled away were cries of anguish from his parents.

Kyle would wake up a day or two later to see his parents and some familiar faces from the ministry in his room. He could see they were upset but he wasn’t entirely sure why...and then it dawned on him. The werewolf had bitten him, and any muggle could tell you what that means. Kyle looked from one parent to other, tears welling in his eyes but what could he say? What was there to say?

After time passed the scar on his shoulder would never heal leaving Kyle permanently marked by the attack, a constant reminder of the curse he now carried. Though the scar would be the least of his problems. While already rough and tumble he became more aggressive, bitter over what he was now and not able to properly express his feelings. Kyle began to withdraw from everyone, partly because he felt like he didn’t deserve to have friends and partly because he was worried what he might do them if he accidentally scratched them or worse, turned while they were around. Perhaps the worst thing of all was his parents. His mother began to show pity towards him which would just infuriate the boy, while his father was harsher and more demanding than ever. Both wanted so much for him, wanted him to do things or act a certain way. To follow the path they laid out. But he knew now, more than ever, that the path he has to walk would be one of his own making, nobody else’s.

Name of Race: Part-Veela
Why does it Fit my Character:
Cordelia Madeline Hun (née Young) knew about the existance of the Wizarding World, was she a part of it? No, of course not. She never let anyone label her, she knew she was different, but she felt like she didn't fit anywhere. She was a Pure Veela.
Porcelain soft skin, light brown alluring eyes and long, brown hair that fell perfectly to her hips.  Her angelic features made her look almost like a doll. She looked so fragile, almost like at any sudden touch she would break.
Her kind was always considered temperamental creatures having bipolar tendencies. Even though they were stunningly beautiful, they could easily turn into hostile creatures when they are angry. They were known to charm mostly men into doing whatever they desired. Because of their beauty, they could easily put a spell on anyone they wanted. Cordelia's parents weren't any different, they were manipulative, their daily life consisting of charming people into doing their dirty deeds. They would use their powers on anyone who got in their way, including muggles and wizards.
But Cordelia.... Cordelia wasn't like them, she wasn't wicked, she didn't take pride out of terrorizing innocent people. The only feelings she had towards her family were disgust, guilt and fear. She was ashamed to be what she is so one day, she ran away somewhere far away from her home, her family and everything she knew.
She was forced to live amongst muggles, hoping that she would never meet her kind. She knew that if her parents ever found her, she wouldn't be alive to tell the story. She slowly created a new life for herself. She found herself in Daegu, far away from her hometown. She made a promise to herself, to only use her powers in life and death situations and to never use them out of greed.
She soon met a young gentleman who she fell in love with. Now, she was the one charmed by him, he was everything she dreamt and wanted. A kind, sweet, intelligent man who  was fascinated by her angelic figure and kind personality. She always wanted someone who would love her without her needing to use her powers. She found her soulmate. Was he a Veela like her parents always wanted? Far from it, he was a pureblood wizard.
His family's beliefs were similar to Cordelia's parents. They both thought that their kind were superior and anything that messed up their bloodline was forbidden.
His family was infuriated when they found out that their offspring was going to be Half-Veela. Embarassed of their son, they moved to the other part of Korea, erasing him from the family tree.
Cordelia and her lover, Castiel soon got married having three healthy children. Only one of their children was half-veela, the one who didn't posses any witch powers, Freya Ophelia Hun.
Freya Ophilia Hun half of her life thinking she was a squib, before her mother told her about her family history. Growing up, Freya was taught her mother's beliefs regarding her magical powers. She too made a promise to herself to never use her powers out of greed or hate.
Freya lived a pretty good life, marrying a pureblood wizard and having 3 children, like her mother. She had also one offspring who was part-veela named Astra Celeste Goodwin

Name of Ability or Race that you Are Applying for: Parselmouth
Describe why this fits your character: 


They say being a Parselmouth (or a Parseltongue) was eradicated from the dark arts. After all, Salazar Slytherin himself was one. Even worst, the feared Lord Voldemort happened to inherit the trait as well. But how could such a family who was very against the dark arts have a beautiful baby girl, who just happened to inherit the ability? And besides, nobody in Euphrasia's immediate family had the talent!

Again, the immediate family all inhabited the northern part United States of America, and, the other part of the family was mainly in the southern part. Euphrasia had never known her other part of her family, and neither had her mother or father. Whenever brought up on topic, her mother would look away, ashamed. Her father, became a fit of fury, and would begin angrily shouting and saying words that not even the devil would say.

So was the other part of the family the reason Euphrasia had inherited Parseltongue? The appropriate phrase for this would be 'One right and one wrong.' Yes, she had inherited the ability from her opposite family, but that wasn't directly it. Her grandmother had also had the ability to speak with serpents. Though, it would take her years to find this out, since her parents hadn't been very truthful to her.

The incident happened on the sixth of December, 2014, just after her first burst of magic. Euphrasia was only seven when she began whispering things in a very strange language. At the time, the family was taking care of a snake for a friend, very ironically. When her mother, Naomi, began to inspect her daughter, she screamed when she realized her daughter and the snake were talking. Having a full blown conversation about like, rats, or something. At that moment, the only thing that mattered was getting Euphrasia away from the snake.

There would be no dark-art children under the roof of the Millie house. However, Andrew had been able to convince his wife that Euphrasia wasn't a dark art master. After about thirty minutes, Naomi began realizing that it was stupid that her daughter could've done the dark arts. Her daughter was SEVEN! She hadn't even acquired a wand yet, but the thought was still scary. After all, VoldyMoldy had been after Muggle-borns.

So that was it. Euphrasia had acquired the talent from either her distant-relatives, like her great-aunts or something, or her grandmother. The latter was more obvious, but the former could've also been true. The only thing was, Euphrasia was going to have to learn just how to control her ability. Even if it meant hiding a part of herself from her friends, and family.

Link to your encyclopedia thread: Lamik Fillestar

Name of Ability or Race that you Are Applying for: Binding Mark

Describe why this fits your character (not why you the player want it):
Lamik Fillestar, an eleven-year-old Gryffindor, has his issues. For example, he likes getting into all sorts of messes, often not thinking about whether or not they could get him into trouble. Other than that, the boy is extremely curious, often far more than would do anyone any good. One thing that Lamik has never had any issues with though is his Social Life. Though during year one at Hogwarts the boy had not made many friends, the ones he did make made him feel right at home, and by using the owls he managed to even formulate an excuse as to where he was and keep in contact with his muggle friends back home.

Before coming to Hogwarts, Lamik had made a sort of reputation for himself at school as a boy that couldn't be bullied. His near constantly cheerful attitude and confident shine had always made sure that no mean spirited schoolmates could hurt him much, and none dared to go after his friends because he was just as infamous for his thick skin as he was for the fact that he couldn't care less about how acceptable it was to "Tattle" to an adult. If something was wrong, he reported it.

Combining these characteristics- his social nature, his thick skin, his ability to speak his mind, and his determination to stick with his ideals and protect his friends led to someone who tended to be quite charismatic. Though not everyone he met outside of Hogwarts befriended him, most of his acquaintances, children and adults, knew him as a good person at heart and somebody that could always be trusted to have good intentions in mind, and a natural born leader.

An ability like Binding Mark is best suited for a leader, someone who is social and active in his circle of friends. Being able to communicate with those closest to you at all times, knowing where they are and vice versa, and having a clear bond between you and another person that differentiates them to such an extent from others is a sign of trust, something that would be very important for a boy like Lamik, as he believes that complete trust is the only way to form truly meaningful relationships.

Other than that, the ability also fits Lamiks less desirable characteristics- being able to communicate with similarly minded friends, the ones that would agree to the branding at least, would open up a whole lot of opportunities to explore and do things that may or may not be against the rules: coordinating where to be at specific times without ever opening his lips or agreeing on something during a discussion with a professor or perfect to make a harmless lie more passable are only some of those possibilities.

The possibility of using something like the Binding Mark would be a wild concept for Lamik- something that could set him apart from his peers in a positive way. Like most eleven-year-olds in his situation, the boy wouldn't be very shy about sharing this ability. He wouldn't go out of his way to boast about it at every opportunity possible, but if somebody asked a question relating to the subject, he probably would not hesitate to explain in full- if not exaggerated detail.

Name of Ability or Race that you Are Applying for: Werewolf (Lycanthropy)

Describe why this fits your character: 

Emile has always been his own type of story. From a small age, growing up with two eccentric authors always introduced him to new ideas and creativity. Emile was a special kind of story, and from the time he was young, he parents felt something was going to happen to him, thought they couldn't quite pin point it. In their eyes, he was special. Different races and abilities have also been abundant in Emile's peculiar family. His great, great, great, great grandmother was bitten by a werewolf while out in the fields of France, and his cousins also had strange abilities that no one really knows about. Needless, to say, his family has always been a bit of a strange one, and Emile was no different. From a young age, he was always curious about the outside world and life outside of his grandparents or parents home. He wanted to go to China..or Russia! This curiosity Emile has is what ultimately was his downfall and how he became a werewolf. His grandfather was always interested in Muggle activities, and sometimes he would go hunting in the forests of France during the summer. At the age of seven, after moving in with his grandparents, Emile accompanied his grandfather on one of these trips. While in the forest, he saw a mysterious looking leaf and got separated from his grandfather, who had seen a deer who could be a possible target. In the end, this leaf ended up being normal (it just had some brown spots on it), and Emile got separated from his grandfather. While searching, he also did not notice it was a full moon and night was falling. Emile heard a rustling noise and thought it might be his grandfather, but it was actually a werewolf. He got bitten, and that is why he is one today. Emile's curiosity is a huge part of his personality, and making it the reason he could bitten by a werewolf could be a very big reason why this race fits Emile. He is also trying to find out new things in the world, whether or not that might be a good or bad thing, and the fact that even a leaf made him curious goes to to show how willing he is to know more about the place we live in. Of course, Emile does not enjoy the transformations or knowing that he might kill one of his loved ones at any moment, but he kind of has that morbid curiosity that was passed down from his parents to find out more.

On the topic of our world and knowing about it, Emile also isn't all that sad because he became a werewolf. He had always wondered what it would be like to become a different race and experience it, but had thought he would never have the chance. Being someone who is always looking for material for books and wondering what the world is like, being able to experience another race would be an adventure and maybe he would even write a book on it in the future.

During his transformations, Emile always has the sparkle in his eye that he usually has in his bright green eyes. This is kind of how you know there is still a part of Emile left in the beast in front of you. Emile has been through quite a lot, and the sparkle in his eye even though he's a werewolf symbolizes that he will always try to move on and get through it, even if he is a beast that might kill you.

The biggest reason that this would fit Emile is because of his awkwardness and timidness. Since the events of the forest and his grandfather, he has always been a bit cautious and wary of everything around him. Yes, he's extremely curious, but he is also very nervous about going into forests and things like that. During the daytime of the full moon, he is also visibly more nervous. He is writing in his notebook more and more detached than usual. He also does not want anyone to see the big gash on his thigh from the werewolf who bit him. It's a large scar, and he's extremely insecure about it. He always makes sure the change in the bathroom so his dorm-mates can't see it. He is always a bit anxious about everything else , for example picking out the cleanest robes, so that people's attention never goes to his thigh, even though it is covered by his pants. He is also very insecure about the fact that he turns into a werewolf every full moon. Though there is precautions and he still has the sparkle, he does not want other kids to know he is able to absolutely run rampant and may kill someone. (This does not change his curiosity, though.) he always tries to act nice and kind so people don't assume that he is like this, and because of him always trying to act so nice, he is quite awkward. He doesn't really know what it's like to just have a genuine conversation anymore because he just wants to be a kind and caring person, not someone who people might think is a werewolf. 

Emile is someone who no one would probably think is a werewolf unless they knew. He is a frail, pale, and has an awkward and quite aura to him. When you look at him, he is not someone who seems like during a full moon gets bigger and wants to bite people. But you know what they say..."Never judge a book by it's cover."

DO NOT POST HERE: Application for Magical Races/Talents and Special Abilities
Link to your encyclopedia thread: Nico Shymane
Name of Ability or Race that you Are Applying for: Dhampir
Describe why this fits your character:
Robert Shymane, Nico's father, was an ordinairy guy. Or was he..

Everyday he came to work to clean up the windows of the aquaria where his wife, Angelique Forktail, worked as a mermaid performer. She wans't a real mermaid, mind you. Angelique wore a bathing suit which closely resembled the features of a real mermaid. It's where her parents met and fell in love.

While her mother was a human with a passion for entertaining people, her father, was something else. He was a Dhampir.

Robert had come from a family that consisted out of Dhampirs who tried to adapt to human society. His great-grandfather Frederick Shymane, a vicious looking man with a pale skin which almost seemed see-through, had a heart of gold. He was a pure Vampire. No one is really sure what made him change his mind to live together with humans, in a peaceful way. He always avoided that question with a story and took the reason to his grave. Some say his wife, Rosaline, who died rather young, had something to do with it. Whenever Frederick or anyone said her name, he seemed to lose the glint of light in his eyes which made him such a pleasant and heartful person. He'd retreat to his bedroom and stay there for a long time.

Roberts father, Marcel Shymane, knew him very well and spent alot of his childhood time with his grandfather. He told Robert why it was important to respect humans and why living in peace with them was a bliss.  For generations, Nico's father was raised with that idea and strongly believed in those ideals. Defenitely after he fell in love with the lovely Angelique Forktail. His father was proud to hear that his son married a human and kept their families new dhampir ideals alife.

Fitting in wasn't easy. They had to adapt. Working in a dark, not well lit, aquarium was perfect for Robert. He used make-up tools to mask his very pale, milk colored skin look full of life. He always wore a hat and lived of a strong diet of tomato juice. Yes, he did still have some urges to drink blood, yet he could easily put those desires at ease by eating blood-flavoured lolipops. They did the trick to soothe his cravings. His family had teached him ways to eat normal, regular human food instead of only human blood. It took some time to adapt but he made it.

Angelique knew he was a Dhampir as he once confessed to her during a make out session in the broomcloset at the back of his work facility. His make-up was smudged and his moonlight skin got exposed. Angelique accepted him for who and what he was and they grew closer...

Their only child, Nico, a small lovable girl, became the first female Dhampir in her family. She was blessed with ice blue eyes and lovely red locks. In her early years it was rather hard to contain her cravings for blood. But after a hard time of dieting on normal food, she adjusted rather well and can perfectly consume anything like a human would. Robert made sure Nico looked at her best at school by making her skin look alive and healthy. Angelique, her mother, made sure her make-up was water proof so it wouldn't come off that easily when she rubbed her face if she had an itch or when she cried. Even after all those efforts, Nico's times at school were rather tough as she got picked on alot. Mostly because they were afraid of her bloody tears that scared many children.

This would fit with Nico as the sort of outcast she already is. Her anxiety towards other kids but still trying to overcome those fears because of her families believes in getting along with others. Since regular schooltime made it hard for her, there could be a chance for Nico to prove herself at Hogwarts as their are many special identities there. It would bring Nico's anxieties and insecurties to the surface and would add something extra to her. It would give her another reason why she wants to get along with everyone and why she doesn't like bullies.
