Fyriel burst out of the bathroom and rampageous started searching through her enormous collection of books. “Where is it? Where?!” She was so focused on her search that she did not notice the pile of dusty books on the floor next to her. “It has to be in here somewhere... I just read it last wee-“, her mumbling abruptly cut off when she tripped over the pile of books and landed face first on the rug next to her bed. It would have been a softer landing if there weren’t books all over her bedroom. A muffled groan escaped Fyriel’s mouth. She lifted her head up from the furry rug and blew out some of the rug’s fibres that got caught in her mouth. The frown on her dazed face spontaneously changed into a grin when she looked ahead. Under her bed, where there were several more dusty books, she saw it. “Finally!”, Fyriel outed. She grabbed the book and bounced up on her bed, after clearing even more books from the blankets. She opened it and read;” A Metamorphmagus is a witch or wizard with the rare ability to change their physical appearance at will, rather than requiring Polyjuice Potion or a spell like the rest of the wizarding population. Metamorphmagi are born, not made.” She paused and thought about what she just read. Fyriel put the book down and ran back to the bathroom. She stopped when she reached the mirror and looked at her reflection.
Her eyes were bright purple, as they had been since she accidently spilled one of her dad’s potions on herself and had a bad reaction. She was six years young at the time and was not supposed to go into his study. Young and curious little Fyriel of course had to go investigate what was going on in that secret room. Young Fyriel did not find much that was worth investigating in there besides a few tiny, elegant flasks with bright liquids inside. She was not going to drink them obviously. She was smarter than that. However, just to smell them wouldn’t hurt, right? She opened the first one and smelled the bright green liquid. It reminded her of apples and candy. Then she carefully put it back on the shelf and grabbed the next one. This one was bright too. A gooey liquid that seemed to be red with blue specks floating around. She wondered how her dad could make something so pretty. She shook it up and down and watched the specks twirl. She opened the flask and smelled it. Blegh! This one stank of old socks and rotten flowers. She was about to close the flask and put it back on the shelf, when her dad burst into the room. “What ARE YOU DOING WITH THOSE?! Put them back INSTANTLY!” her dad whimpered. Fyriel was so startled by her dad suddenly entering the study, the flask slipped out of her hand on the desk placed below the shelf. The flask bounced around on the desk and the gooey, red liquid spilled out. Most of it landed right on Fyriel’s face. Young Fyriel started crying, not from any pain the liquid had caused but from the shock. Her dad jumped forward to help her and cleaned her up. He washed her face with a warm cloth. All of the goo was washed off when he noticed something peculiar. Young Fyriel’s eyes had a slight purple film over them. He asked her if her eyes hurt but she responded they did not. She said she was too warm and felt a tingly feeling spreading on her forehead. Her dad ran some cold water from the tap and wetted the cloth. He covered her forehead and face with it to help her cool down. Wondering what the purple colour in her, once green eyes, was. He looked at her eyes and gasped. The colour was growing brighter. Extremely bright purple, he had never seen any eyes this colour. It took him a couple of minutes to realize what was going on. Generations before him, there were several Metamorphmagi in his family tree. Wizards and witches with abbilities to transform their appearance. She must have the same talents that ran through the veins of his ancestors. Fyriel was way too young to understand any of that now. He discussed the event with his wife and they came to the decision to keep it a secret until she grew older.
And from that day on, Fyriel Starlingword had the brightest purple eyes anyone had ever seen.
She had grown used to them. She was not someone who liked standing out in a crowd but she was glad she had something different. Something that was her secret, her memory of an adventure.
Therefore, her eyes had not changed but then she saw it. She had woken up early that misty morning with bright blue hair! She immediately dived into her books to find out what had happened. She had not done anything special the night before. She went to bed early, to read her books of course, so it turned out to be a later bedtime than intended. She had slept well and even had a very nice dream. About one of the magical beasts, her dad takes care of.
She dreamed she was helping with the nifflers. One of the nifflers was about to give birth but her dad was not around to help. At first, Fyriel panicked about what to do but then took a deep breath to calm down and remembered what her dad had taught her about delivering baby nifflers. The dream ended with Fyriel holding the baby nifflers after helping them to be born. Her dad came in with a smile on his face and told her how proud he was. Fyriel had felt so happy; her dad had never told her how proud he was of her. She knew she had a knack for taking care of fantastic beasts but this was special to her.
Fyriel had a smile on her face as she thought back to her dream. Could that have anything to do with why her hair is bright blue? She read in the book that Metamorphmagi could change their appearance, or part of it, without realising it. Usually when they have intense feelings like anger, grief, love etc. Perhaps that is what happened when I was sleeping, she wondered. She decided she could not figure it out by herself and would tell the person she trusted most. Her dad. He must know something to explain the sudden change of hair colour. It looked quite cool she thought but she preferred not to have such eye-catching hair colour.
Fyriel walked down the stairs in her pyjamas. She wore a purple top with bears on it and matching trousers. Her socks were fuzzy and grey. When she reached the living room, she noticed her younger sister Olivia playing with coloured blocks on a carpet. Olivia saw her sister walking in and yelled;” Bwue! Fy has bwue hairs!” At least, that is what Fyriel understood from the toddler’s uttering of words. “My God Fy, what happened to you?!” She heard her dad yelling from the kitchen across from the living room. “Dad, I have no idea what happened. I woke up with blue hair, immediately looked through all my books but I could not find anything that explains why I have BLUE HAIR, FOR MERLINS SAKE… DAD. Please help me!” Fyriel answered in a panicked tone. “Alright, alright, calm down in front of your sister. I will go get your mum and sort this out, do not worry. Just sit down and wait until I get back.” So Fyriel watched her dad run out the door to get her mum from the garden where she usually was, growing her herbs and vegetables. When Fyriel’s dad and mum came back inside, they sat down next to her, each on one side and told her a story. The story of the family Starlingword. Her dad explained how in the magical world there were these people called “Metamorphmagi”. Fyriel raised her brow as she recognized the word from the book she flipped through earlier. He further told her that a couple of generations before her, there were several family members that had this ability of changing their appearance at will. "It's also why you have such purple eyes Fy. Do you remember when you were a little girl, you had an accident with those potions? The potions didn't cause your change of eyecolour. It was your Metamorphmagi magic that was sparked from the shock you were in." Her dad said the transformation ability had skipped a couple of generations before as well but they did not expect to see another Metamorphmagus in the family until decades after Fyriel was born. Apparently, they were wrong. There was a new Metamorphmagus in the family. It was she. Fyriel felt proud to carry on the talents of her family. On the other hand, she felt quite overwhelmed. How was she supposed to control these powers? Could they be controlled even, or was she going to wake up looking different every day from now on? Her dad noticed the concern in her purple eyes and reassured her that everything would be okay. That it was nothing to be ashamed off and he knew some people that could teach her more about her new abilities. How to control and use them, hide them when necessary and what it meant to be a Metamorphmagus.

Description:
Reducio
Dales parents were very attractive people. When his father was in high school, he might’ve been a nerd who talked to very few people, but that didn’t stop him from being the number one hottie on campus. Whenever he entered a classroom or went into a room full of people, almost everyone would turn and look at him, Jamey being the dense,oblivious piece of metal he is, never noticed it, or if he did, he chose to ignore it and go on with his life. All through high school he was constantly hounded by confessions, but every time he turned them down, he had no interest in having a relationship, it was really a waste. Until Jamey met a girl named Vija, Dale’s mother. But this beauty gene went past father then just Jamie, it could be tranced all the way to Jamie’s great grandfather, who was said to be the hottest farmer in all the Midwest.

When Vija was growing up, she was called the most beautiful girl in the town, possibly in all the world. She was heavily sought after by many suitors, she turned them all down, for she wanted true love. So when Vija came to America to continue her studies and met a hot nerd named Jamey, she wasn’t immediately charmed, but he grew on her. And just a few years later they got married, and at the wedding, people cried over how beautiful they both looked. They said that if they wanted they could be professional wedding attire models, or just regular models, but instead they chose to be writers and scientists rather then be high class models. Vija’s beauty gene can also be traced just as far, with her grandmother being so beautiful, she had to hide her face from all the suitors that had gone mad with love.

When Dale was in elementary school, he was pretty average in looks, nowhere near as cute as his parents were when they were his age. But Dale, or his parents didn’t notice… or care much at all.

But when Dale came back for his second year at Hogwarts… something changed about him, he was much taller, Whenever he walked into his classes, he got more stares, more people started to notice and him, he even got a few. A glow up, one of many to come. But Dale had no idea about any of this, after all he was somehow denser than his father… if you could believe it.

Description of Why:

The Faust family is descended from fighters back in the Warring States Period in Japan.

For years they've upheld the traditions of their ancestors. Even upon moving to London England, they've  done so. They still use their ancestors' language, Japanese, they use honorifics, built their compound in the Japanese style, dressed as their culture does, kept their bloodline pure, and unblemished by 'outsiders' DNA. The only thing different in their appearance compared to other Japanese is their pale skin, adapted over the generations living in and English climate. Still they stay true to their blood.

That is not all though, because they were descended from fighters, they teach the children of the clan the skills they held, stealth, assassination, infiltration, the use of Japanese weapons, and martial Arts.

Selim still remembers the days they relentlessly trained him, even when he felt on the ground, near unable to move, they made him stand back up, and try again, and again. It was almost cruel, now that he looks back, probably illegal as well.

Of course, it payed off in the end. The only thing Selim could choose when his Sensei's taught him martial arts, was what branch he wanted to specialize in. Selim chose Jiujutsu, the art of using you're opponent's weight against themselves.

He chose this because he'd always been on the small side, and despite his well-developed muscles, he would've still faired badly against opponents older, and larger them himself. It was a logical choice, letting Selim fight any opponent (with  enough skill), even if they  were much larger then him.

Of course, they trained him in the other branches of Martial arts, preparing him for any situation, but largely, his focus was on Jiujutsu.

He became passionate in that fighting style, training himself outside of designated times.

If only he had learned it two years earlier...

But this was no time for such thoughts.

Soon, Selim became the best in his clan at the art, despite his rather young age. His mother and father praised him for this accomplishment, they had never praised him about anything before.

Eventually, he had a final test, fighting his own father, who also chose to specialize in Jiujutsu when he was young. He had been the current holder of being the best in the skill, and Selim was determined to take that title properly.

The fight was grueling, Selim was beaten down, pushed to the ground (or more accurately, flipped to the ground), he ate more dirt then he had ever wanted to in his life, but in the end...

He had won. Though he was in worse shape then his father, he had successfully pinned him to the ground for ten seconds, using a grapple unique to Jiujutsu.

After that event, his Sensei put more focus in other martial arts, but Selim still polished his Jiujutsu every night.

Ever since coming to Hogwarts, his skills had grown a tad rusty, as he was unable to find anyone to spar with. He still practiced the katas though, even resorting to fighting the air. So, compared to most students he had found at Hogwarts, he had the upper hand if things ever came to a physical fight.

Link to your encyclopedia thread: Opeila Seilun- Encyclopedia Page

Name of Ability or Race/Talent that you Are Applying for: Seer

Describe why this fits your character:
Opeila was told that seers existed but never expected to meet one. She had grown up in a muggle world, her mother hadn't told her a lot about the magical one, because her father didn't want his daughter to know. So she grew up like her classmates in primary school, only that Opeila knew that there was a secret on her mothers side of the family, a secret she didn't have access to.

Her mother's mother, old Lady Margary Crane was a wise woman they didn't visit often, mostly because Opeila's father didn't like her. Lady Margary had always been against keeping the fact that the Cranes were a long lineage of wizards and witches a secret. She wanted to prepare Opeila, to spare her the shock of waking up someday and realize that she had burned her favourite pillow or something like that, but Mr. Seilun was hoping for his daughter to be a squib. He wanted to be a father like everyone else, so he forbid Lady Margary to tell Opeila anything.

Opeila's mother and Lady Margary made a silent agreement not to tell her husband about the other secret that layed within the family. Margary Crane was a far descendant from seer and the seer blood still ran strong in the female side of the family. The talent had skipped Lady Margary's mother as well as her daughter, but the old woman sensed it in Opeila. It was only because of Mr Seilun's threat that he wouldn't let her speak to her granddaughter again, that she kept everyting, that she wanted to tell the little girl, a secret.

So Opeila grew up like every other muggle child, until the day of her first accidental magic. "Seven... eight... nine... ten!" Just a splitsecond before the boy was done counting the little girl jumped in a bush. There were about ten children hiding all over the playground. Opeila had always loved hide and seek, she found it exciting to watch the seeker and maybe get to catch eye contact with one of the other hiding children.
This time she had felt weird from the beginning. Like one of her organs had changed it's position. She actually felt a little sick, but not like she caught a virus or something. Like there was something very wrong inside her. The feeling got stronger when she sat in the bush. She shouldn't be there. She shouldn't have chosen this hiding place, everything shouted inside her. And then she suddenly froze. Out of instinct, she hadn't heard or seen anything, she just froze and held her breath and with her the rest of the world. Suddenly it was dead silent on the playground, everything had stopped moving, the bushes, the trees, even the wind was gone. Only two seconds later she heard the seekers voice. "Found y- Ah, what the hell?" She turned around just to see the boy staring at his hands that now had deep cuts on them. Shocked she gasped and the world seemed to go back to normality. A strong wind blew over the playground. Opeila touched one of the bushes leafs and suddenly they moved again as well. The bush turned back to normal. "What the h-hell have you done? Y-you freak!" Opeila didn't know what to tell the boy, that stumbled away from her, scared.

She had only spoken to her grandmother about the feeling she had before the incident. The feeling that had told her so urgently to get out of there. It was then that Lady Margary finally decided to give a damn about the wishes of her daughter's husband and calmed her frightened granddaughter. She told her about her ancestors and the great gift that was turned down to Opeila.
First the little girl didn't understand. It scared her, she didn't feel like she was given a gift but a great responsibility. Lady Margary told Opeila, that it was indeed. And Opeila learned to accept the gift, follow the sudden feelings that sometimes came over her and use the gift and responsibility she was given.

Name of Ability or Race/Talent that you Are Applying for: Metamorphmagus
Describe why this fits your character:
Shae's maternal great grandmother was a metamorphmagus. It hadn't been seen in a few generations, but, one day Shae's mother started noticing things not being the same with her body. Some days, Shae's hair seemed shorter, others it was normal again. The next day, her eyes might be brown instead of blue. It was never anything big, and it was assumed that it was just because of her latent magical ability, until one day, Shae's mother decided to discuss the issue with her mother. Shae's maternal grandmother, Vivian, told her daughter about her mother, Aileen, being a metamorphmagus.
As Shae began to grow, her emotions would show more and more in normal ways, then with changes to her looks. It never seemed to change in the same ways, just a shift in emotion would cause a slight shift in Shae's appearance. However, the shift would never last long and Shae would be back to "normal" later. Because her great grandmother passed before Shae was born, she didn't have a family member who could help her learn.
When Shae's mother first noticed Shae's shift in appearance, it was more dramatic. But then, it began to shift into much more subtle changes. Most of the time, Shae didn't even realize something had changed, since it was usually small changes. Only the people who are really close to her (such as her family) tended to notice the change, and even then, it was hard at times to notice. Usually, in order for someone to notice that something had changed, they would have to watch it. Usually if her hair changesdcolors, it was barely a darker or lighter shade. If it changed length, it was by mere centimeters. If her eyes changed colors it was usually in the same shades of blue. If her skinned seemed to change color, it was barely noticeable.
However, Shae only having small changes didn't last forever. The last year or so, Shae has been changing more dramatically than normal. Her hair sometimes turns blonde and then back to black in a matter of minutes. Her eyes turn brown for a minute before turning blue again. Sometimes her hair is cut short, and is back to shoulder length before you even know it. Then the changes started lasting longer. Her eyes turned purple for two days, then her hair turned fiery red for three. The shoulder length black hair fell to her waist for a week (She could have cut it, but didn't see the fun in doing that, when she wanted to see how long it would last). Shae still hasn't gotten a handle on the trait, but it mostly happens to her hair and eyes and usually it's caused by a shift in emotion. It still doesn't seem to have a pattern, you can't tell if she's happy or sad based on her appearance yet, but when you can see her change, you can tell it's because of a shift in emotion, but sometimes it sticks longer than the emotion itself.

Name of Ability or Race/Talent that you Are Applying for: Fearless

Describe why this fits your character (not why you the player want it): Back in his home of Thurso there was an old and decrepit house sitting on the coast of Scapa Flow. The rumour around the school was your typical affair, about how the house was incredibly haunted. How an old killer used to live there and would bring his victims in before he hacked them to pieces. These rumours were always told to the youngest kids to try and scare them. Each time they got more and more outlandish. Eventually, AJ's curiosity got the better of him. He simply couldn't fathom that it was the base of an Alien spider monster who dressed like a mime and ate pensioners. So with the bravery of a red-blooded Scotsman, he decided he would put the rumour to rest.

His friend Lachlan lent him his camera and promised him two pounds if he managed to come back alive. One of the older kids overheard this conversation and said he would up it to ten pounds if AJ went at night. Well, ten pounds to nine-year-old sounds like infinite money so of course AJ accepted. That night, in pitch-black darkness on a cloudy night. He snuck out of his bedroom and made his way towards the house on Scapa flow. The chill of the night's air biting at his ears.

The house was practically ancient, rusted and in need of repairs, an absolute death-trap for anyone living inside. Taking a deep breath AJ turned on the camera and moved to the front door. click-click... Locked...or jammed, in either case, it wasn't opening. So the young man went for the next best thing, a step-ladder leaning against the wall on the left. Quickly as he could and just as quietly he set the step-ladder up against the wall and carefully crept up to the roof, hoping to find an entrance.

The entrance found him, he had taken a few steps onto the corroded rooftop before it gave way beneath him and he fell feet first into the house below, his knee scraping against the sheet metal as he tumbled. He hit the ground with a thud, immediately checking to make sure the camera wasn't broken. It wasn't, and only when he was sure of that did the pain set in. He clutched his bleeding knee and inhaled sharply, trying to dull the pain when he heard a rustling sound, then another. He looked up to see the source before the answer came to him in the form of a drooling, stubby, sharp-toothed muzzle. A dog approached him, sniffing thoroughly before it began growling and barking loudly, attempting to rush at him but restrained by a chain. He crawled backwards, frightened of being ripped apart by this animal before he bumped into a long pair of legs. Slowly looking up, he was greeted by the scowling and bearded face of a stranger clutching a knife. However after a few moments, it was clear they had no intent to harm him, they were more annoyed by his intrusion. "Ye make som' kinda habi' o' breakin' intuh oother people's properteh?"

In that moment AJ couldn't even formulate a proper response. The stranger eventually calmed his hound and sat in front of the boy, the scowl never leaving his face. Until he noticed the boy's bleeding knee and he stood again. "Am hopin' fer yer sake yer shots are up te deet" The stranger tutted, producing a small plaster from a drawer and covering the boy's knee.

When AJ eventually recomposed himself, he apologised for intruding on the man's property, and explained the rumours circulating the house. The two chatted for quite a while until the stranger noticed the time and insisted the boy go home. At the end of his visit AJ was even able to pat the dog, a boxer named Tavish. The stranger promptly unlocked the door and let the boy leave, requesting he knocked the next time he wished to visit.

AJ raced home and quickly threw himself back into bed, hoping his mother didn't hear anything. To this day he's pretty sure he got away with it. Ever since that night, he's found he doesn't scare quite as easily as most. As he's able to rationalise fear as a concept never as terrifying as it's made up to be.

For the record, he spent his ten pounds on snacks and dog treats. He visited the stranger many times before he left for Hogwarts.

Name of Ability or Race/Talent that you Are Applying for: Cat's Grace
Describe why this fits your character (not why you the player want it):

~Elsian has always been tricky to track down. He's constantly moving around and even the people he's closest to can have a hard time finding his latest snooze spot since he's always finding new ones to hide away at. This has been the case for as long as he can remember, practically beginning the moment he was old enough to understand that, wait a second, no, he didn't like this maid or this class is really boring, why was he here when he could be doing something else?

From climbing up trees to some how clawing himself up that one really tall roof because wow, that's a good napping place, Elsian did it all. Consequences be dammed. Sure, he almost got a broken arm once or twice when he was first learning how to climb and keep his balance but did that stop him? No. No it did not, if anything it only fueled his spite to get wherever he wanted to go, balance, height or danger factor be damned because if he had a hard time that meant it was a good hiding spot. With all the running around he did and with each failure he only got better as time passed and he got older, this only became a stronger truth when he was put into etiquette lessons and such like dancing. His grace and agility improving quite a bit with every lesson. Which in turn, to the households dismay, made him that much harder to try and wrangle in.

Over time, the uses for these skills only grew as he was forced into the den of social puranas that made up some of the higher status pure blood families because of his family name. Finding spots to maybe take a nap or avoid his history tutor quickly turned into him quietly observing which in turn, became an increasingly dangerous game of him shadowing people when he realized that he could actually figure out if people were being genuine or fake towards him and his parents. Taking great joy in making the suckers who he knew were full of it squirm because if he had to be here then he'd enjoy it.

Enter his more recent years and going into Hogwarts, Elsian loves picking at others thoughts. Finding out things about them whether it be through talking or if needed, digging around. Finding himself places to bunker down to be alone or hide from others is something that's just carried on from his home over to Hogwarts. Watching friends and possible enemies or rivals alike is something he views as if not necessary, an amusing past time and is constantly doing so. If he finds something that draws his attention or seems like a problem for him he'll do whatever he can to dig up the facts, even if it comes down to having to play dirty and spy. As long as he doesn't get caught that is.

Part-Veela

Describe why it Fits my Character:

Time period: 14th Century



A young child, alone and unexpecting. Wanted but lost. Wandering the streets looking
for kindness but finding nothing but despair and more suffering. Dirty, hungry and full of rage. The eyes of a lost child trying desperately to find his mother, but knowing she is left in the ashes of his old home. Squaring his shoulders the youngling moves further in the dark streets.

-Years later.-


Dragean, a young and fiercefull alchemist known for his ‘exotic’ and life changing potions, rose from the ashes of his past. Rebuild like a phoenix and rising further and higher, at the expense of unsuspecting muggles. Trying to stay under the radar of his ministry and building a future for himself.

Then the dreaded day came. Questioning, interventions and shackles. Dragean had unintentionally brought attention to himself and his shop. Apparently tricking muggles into buying ‘real potions’ is not allowed.

Dragean had never payed attention to his late mothers fairy tales. Tales about ministries, mages, warlocks and wizards. All lies and betrayal. Not worth listening to. The only thing he remembered was her nickname for those underneath them. Muggles. To hear now that he had been so powerful for years without knowing made his rage rise again. Uncontrolled magic and combined rage for years unleashed. Just like all those years again. All powerful and controlling. Dragean stood there a wicked cackle escaping him. Walking further upon his dark path, with once again his past and troubles burning behind him.

The start of a great, powerful and all above merciless empire rose from the ashes left
behind.  Dragean Delarose, the name wouldbe whispered for years. Pain and agony followed his path.


Time period: 18 century.

Donathan Delarose, the heart and dark soul of the Delarose empire. A reign of terror striking the world where only the most mighty could overthrow each other. And gain more. Over the years he took advantages of the worlds misery and made it his own. More and more smuggling expensive, exclusive animals and creatures. And that without the world even noticing. No one would expect the honourable Count Delarose to have criminal intents. The core of his empire expanded and his riches grew.

His wife Amelia, a royal born from the thorn of her mother’s monarchy, sacrificed everything for
his future, his heir. Turning away from her childbed, pain straining his face. His son and pride took the only thing he loved away from him. Taking deep breaths to regain his composure, he squared his shoulders and walked further away to plan. His son would be raised with the only purpose to lead his empire. No more, no less.

He swore to take revenge. If not one his son, he would take it to the world.


Time period: 21th century.

Damien Delarose. Experienced duellist, mastermind and accomplished businessmen had just closed the deal of the century. A Veela wife, one truly dedicated to the cause and to him. The young and naïve veela believed him to be her first and only love. So truly the only thing he had to do was to ask for her hand. And so closing him the deal that would help him rise even further. No one would be able to escape. The only thing he had to do was ask his wife to bring tea during his negotiations. And while she was there, he would slide the contract for his ‘allies’ forward and let them sign it. Only when his wife left the room they could realise their mistake. But even then the possible threat was deeply hidden in the contract. Not even the best lawyer of his muggles contacts would find his loopholes.

Damien stood there overlooking his empire. The city he truly owned, the police, the mayor, everything. He was the highest authority. Even if the residents didn’t know it. Satisfied he pushed himself away from the window overlooking his empire.

-


Laurel Blackhawk, a soft, charming and overprotective woman with high standards, had
never hoped to find her one true love. It was a fairy tale every young veela dreamed about. Her Damien was a hard man, who ruled his empire with an iron-like hand. But still handled her and her daughter, Rosalind, with care. Not that he would admit it.

Laurel chuckled and walked over to her beautiful Toddler. Yesterday young Rose had had her
first magical moment. A golden circle of light and sparkling butterflies. Her angelic features were enlightend with euphoria at her new accomplishment. Laurel felt so proud when she saw what her child could do. It truly was one charming girl. Just as she was supposed to be.

No one would expect her upbringing and her extended family. If there was one way to describe her youngling it was charming, beautiful and angelic. Her blond hair gave off an unearthly impression. Almost if she was gifted by the gods to them.

Her future wil be bright.

Encyclopedia thread: John Wolfe
Name of Ability that you Are Applying for: Charmer
Describe why this fits your character:
Growing up Pureblood involved a lot of training. Keeping to tradition the Wolfe family continued to raise their offspring as proper members of the Wizarding World. All of the children were told from a young act just how to act and hold themselves. Everything from clothing to eating, what to say and how to react was taught on a daily basis. There was never a time that John could recall where his parents weren't giving him some sort of education as a Pureblood. Learning to properly do up his tie at the same time he learned to tie shoes, when he didn't have his family's help doing it for him that is.
It became routine and second nature even to choose specific color coordinated outfits, his clothing behind specially tailored for him as he grew. At 11 years old John knows just how to dress himself and what sort of shirt best compliments a jacket, what tails to wear for fancy dinners or coat goes best with a Brunch gathering. Something that he had ended up learning to enjoy and take pride in.


Through the years it became in innate part of John's personality. He carried himself in a way that others didn't. No slouching, shoulders square and chin up. Never looking down and always being sure to give a proper handshake with some umph behind it. The Wolfe family had done a good job raising their children even if it meant they were so molded and melded into what the family expected that they had no sense of self. John could hold his own in conversation with adults at a young age and often it was expected of him to help glean information for his father's use, charming his way into anyone's good graces. Words easily became an art form for the young German boy. Made to socialize from a very young age, serving tea and other sweets at his mother's hosted gatherings with her ladies as well as engaging in conversation with his father's business partners. It was more than being told what to say but his keen observation through the years that allowed him to have an understanding of how to respond, tones and inflections of voice, just the right turn of phrase to use at the exact moment to steer a conversation in the way he wanted. John could identify the exact way to address anyone, especially women having spent a good deal of time with them thanks to his mother's parties. It had become so natural that often his parents had to rotate out nannies and Governesses as the boy often sweet talked his way into anything he wanted from extra snacks, staying up late, or breaking them from their dutiful facade as the family's help usually resulting in their termination from the Wolfe household.

In Wales, his parents set a strict schedule of studying and other hobbies to make the boy a well rounded member of proper society. They quickly found he was admired by those his age and realized he would find friends easily among the common folk that resided around their second home. This was not something they wanted as they felt John was too far above in station. Secluding him from the other children meant he mostly interacted with Pureblood families many of which were adults, enabling him to pick up on their socializing skills and emulate their ways. Hogwarts would be no different, even if he found himself faltering in staying true to his Pureblood outlook on others and their blood-status, John found himself easily chatting with those around him. Conversation always developing as easy as breathing. Clothes nicely kept and ironed, collar smoothed and hair combed in a clean fashion with some stray strands sweeping over his face now and again, emerald eyes bright and observant, John would relish this new experience of Hogwarts.

Name of Ability or Race/Talent that you Are Applying for: Fearless
Describe why this fits your character (not why you the player want it):

Percival was taught not to be afraid of the unknown ever since he was born, something of which his parents made sure of. They didn't want their child to show weakness in the face of fear or uncertainty, a trait they believed would help him through his life as he grew wiser and independent. Before him, their parents had shared the same strict upbringing and was given the same restrictive upbringing as they did, so it was only right to do the right thing and continue the tradition. One example of this trait would be when he was the age of 10, one year before he started his journey at Hogwarts.

It was a bleak morning on the Gray estate, the sky was grey and the area around them was foggy, something of which wasn't perfect for what they were going to do. Him and his father were out in the garden, both wearing thin coats and regular clothing as they walked across the well kept grass "Even a crap day is good for learning son, remember that" he said as he looked to his side, making sure Percival got the message. In reply, he nodded slowly, his eyes staring determinedly in front of him. Today, they were going on their daily broom ride around the countryside of St. Ives. The scenery was perfect for training due to the remoteness and the slim chance of seeing any muggles around, although, the weather could get a bit wild now and then.

On the grass, lay two broomsticks. Both of them seemed to be well maintained and looked after, you could even say down to the smallest smudge. They belonged to his father Elias, who allowed his son to borrow one of them for training purposes. One other condition was that he had to look after and maintain it himself, otherwise he wasn't worthy of having one. Back in his Hogwarts days, Elias was a talented broom rider. Even before he arrived at Hogwarts he already knew the basics of riding and excelled in most of his flying lessons. During his second year Slytherin were amendment in getting him started for the quidditch team, mainly as a seeker due to his good hawk like eyesight and terrific control of his broom. However, every time they asked he refused. Percival never knew the reason why, maybe he was dead set on what he wanted to do in life and didn't want to take a different path.

Father and son now stood over the brooms, one hand above the handle as percival shouted "Up!" in a clear and loud voice. The broom instantly shot up into his hand, letting him prepare as his father did the same “You know the drill Percy, keep close behind me and if you get lost try and make your way back here. You got that?"Elias questions, making sure Percival got the plan "Yes sir..." he said back to him, his eyes gazing down to the broom under him. After a few seconds his father would slowly lift off the ground, his broom lifting him upwards higher into the air by each second. Not long after Percy would follow suit, but more slower and careful compared to his father who had way more experience than him.

The two of them get to a reasonable height and zoom forwards into the fog, his father going a decent speed in front of him. For now, the boy was following his father with ease and kept a steady pace behind him. Although, it wouldn't last long. It was almost as if someone had flicked a switch to turn up the wind, because the weather changed drastically in a matter of seconds. First, it was the rain. Heavy downpours smacked into the side of them out of the blue, forcing them both to stop in their tracks. His father shouted over the whistling wind to start making his way back to the house. Elias quickly went in front and slowly began to guide him back, the heavy rain and wind blowing into their bodies forcefully. Suddenly, something forced his broom to the right and almost flinged him off, leaving him dangling on the side with one hand and arm on the broom. He quickly flung himself back into the right position and looked around, but all around him was a layer of fog and rain.

At this point he was soaked to the bone, and shivering from the cold rain that hit his body. Percy slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down and remember what his father said. He knew it was going to be hard finding his way back in these conditions, all he could do was try and hope for the best. There was no point waiting and depending on his father, if he kept to the plan he would be at the house. Percival drifted along the sky at a slow pace and guided himself to a lower altitude, his eyes squinting rapidly from the droplets that hit it. Ten minutes went by and he still couldn’t find no trace. His hands were numb and he couldn’t hang onto the broom much longer, as well as his will to stay awake.

But to his luck, a light appeared no too far below him through the fog. With no other options left he spiralled downwards towards the light, full well knowing it was his only option right now. Even though the harsh conditions didn’t let up, the fog seemed to disperse as he grew closer to the surface. To his joy, the mansion was finally in view as he tried to get there as soon as possible before he inevitably fell off. Just as he reached the gardens he felt his grip go, leaving him to crash and roll along the grass. His face and clothing was covered in wet mud and various other muck as he finally came to a standstill. Luckily, him and his broom landed in one piece at least, but his pricey clothing was a different story. He breathed in and out and struggled to get into a standing position, mainly because his legs felt like jelly and his body was on the verge of shutting down. Percy stumbled over to the broom and grabbed it, before dragging himself to the back of the house.

Just before he reached the door Elias  slowly opened it from the inside and stepped out, looking at him up and down as Percy stood in the rain with his head down. His father sighed and walked out to him, putting a dry towel over him and walking him inside “Once you’ve dried off and sorted yourself out make sure that broom is spotless. Other then that, I’m proud of you son...” he said in his usual serious tone. A praise off his father wasn’t common by any means, and required him to do something extraordinary to get one. But one question led to another, did he mean it to go this way in order to test him or was it just him being his normal self? One thing was for certain though, he was sure to learn from this experience greatly.
