Reducio
Indigo Grant grew up on their family farm, which means a lot of hard work. Especially manual labour, often moving hay bales, which, the smaller ones can weigh anywhere from 40, to 100 pounds. Not only that but helping to carry crops to and from trucks. This obviously requires a lot of muscle and strength.
Indigo would fill the feed troughs for most of the animals on their farm, including but not limited to Highland Cattle, Clydesdale Horses, Sheep, Tamworth Pigs... They had quite a few animals on their farm, obviously, they would also eat grass and other shrubbery, but this wasn't enough for them all, while 100 hectares(around 248 Acres, or 1 square km) is big, it gets used up fast with all those animals, not to mention crops.
Still, Often Indigo would move things around, simply for the sake of moving things around, like large rocks, or the furniture in their home. One time, Indigo's parents woke up to their entire house re-arranged in a single night. (They're still confused, how in the world did a 10-year-old do that!?) But, they managed it, ADHD superpower I guess. (OOC fun fact, that's based on a real scenario, except I was a bit older.)
That being said, Indigo's Father has them on a schedule as well, Since they were eight, They go on a half an hour long jog every morning(This will obviously adapt to fit school hours) Then, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, They do 15 sets of 5 sit-ups, 10 sets of 5 push-ups, and 5 sets of 10 pull-ups. Then, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, they do 20 sets of 30 bicep curls, and they do 40 lengths of kettlebells(Walking from one wall of the common room to the opposite wall the long way), they brought with them 2 five pound kettlebells, 2 ten pounds, 2 fifteen pounds, increasing like that all the way to forty pounds. Now, you might be thinking, why so many? Well, Indigo, while being a bit more timid, they do not mind sharing, and this gives others a chance to work on their physical strength as well! It's a good thing their Parents know the Feather-light charm, otherwise, those would have been terrible to get into their dorm room. (The charm was placed on their bags, not the weights, that would be redundant.)
This all combined is why the trait Obnoxiously Strong suits my Character, not only explaining why they would have it to begin with, but how they would maintain it throughout the school year, as with most things, if you don't use it, you lose it.

ReducioAs a child Diana was always on the move. When she lived in the city there wasn't much space for her to explore. There was only the inside of her house and, depending on where they were living, perhaps a small backyard. Wizarding houses were on average far more interesting to explore than their muggle counterparts. However, there was a point where everything began to get old. There were only so things that that toddler Diana could get her hands on. Her parents were doing important magical diplomacy things that she did not understand most of the day so they were not a resource available for her entertainment either. Months of staying in the same house with a nanny became tedious rapidly.
Hence, Thailand came as a drastic shift. Instead of choosing a house as close to the center of the city as possible, Diana's parents opted to live in a wizarding community on the outskirts of Bangkok. There was a renowned tutor who offered group lessons for primary-school aged wizarding children located nearby. Although it would make their work commute longer they chose to prioritize their daughter's pre-magic school education over convenience.
Without the fear of discovery that came with living in a neighborhood with muggles, there were many less restrictions in Diana's life. Katerina and Niran Saengkaew had a liberal parenting style. They were of the philosophy that promoted independence at a young age. Even though she was only 6 years old at the time, in their eyes, it was crucial that Diana have a wide range of experiences to allow her to develop responsibility, maturity, and a strong sense of self.
Due to this, Diana was allowed to go most places alone. She walked herself to and from her lessons each day and, after she got home, she was allowed to go play outside until it was time for dinner.
This, of course, led to a decent amount of shenanigans. What child, when given time to do whatever they wanted would follow the rules perfectly? Definitely not this one. Because of the convenient location of their house near the harbor Diana loved to swim in the open ocean. She paid no mind to the older boys who tried to scare her by telling her about all the sharks that lurked beneath the friendly surface of the gulf of Thailand. There is also an account of her, once she became friends with Achara, climbing a tree to help the other girl sneak out from her 2nd story bedroom window without alerting her much stricter parents.
It was also during this phase of her life that she got her first practice broom and learned how to fly. She did so without much hesitation, taking to the sky as if she were a butterfly who was meant to be flying. When she could escape from her studies, Diana was almost always either in the air or the water throwing herself into some new form of physical challenge. Her adventurous spirit was never fully satisfied with what she already knew.

STATUS: Pending, Sereia, 3 May
Diana really shouldn't be flying on her own before she finishes First Year Flying at Hogwarts. She can have her practice/toy broom but will need parental supervision when she does go flying so she stays safe.

Mia grew up in the muggle community and was always moving. This being said she was also always the new kid at the muggle schools. She was never too good at making friends, and usually waits for them to find her. She was always quiet and trailing behind others, listening to their conversations without making herself known. She did this so that she would know who would be good friends to her, and who would not. She has learned throughout her years at school how to make herself quieter and quieter so as not to be noticed.
She also got to put her silence to the test with her little sister. When she didn't get her way she would usually scream at the top of her lungs at anyone she heard, or saw passing by her door. Mia learned it was easier to peek in and see if she had her back turned, then she would slowly and quietly inch her way to her room and out of sight. Again as this happened more and more she learned how to be quicker and quieter. Allso at her home in the muggle comunity, she had one problem with sneeking around. The creaky floorboards. She was usually pretty quiet on the carpet but once she got to the hard wood floors her silence was gone.
Her family also had two cats, one was an old grumpy one, and the other, a little ball of fur and energy. They couldn't be trusted to stay outside on their own, so when the family went in the cats had to come too. There was only one problem. The cats usually did not want to come inside. The first one who was older was pretty easy to catch, but their new kitten was a whole different story. As you probably know kittens are little balls of fur, and energy. So when she tried to catch her kitten to get him in, it was hard. She tried corralling him into a corner, but she would just shoot between her legs. She could not chase him because he had more energy then she did. She then came up with a foolproof solution. She would quietly follow him until he laid down and then she would catch him. He does squirm still but with the element of surprise on her side, she had caught it.
Even in Hogwarts Mia watches quietly and trys to skirt around the edges, around people she doesn't know.

Ability: Lovely creature
Description of why it fits my character:
ReducioEven though shy, Violet always managed to turn heads around wherever she went. The first word that came to the mind of anybody meeting her for the first time was 'pretty'. People could not help but be impressed with her looks, by the way she walks and talks. She carries herself with the utmost grace and charm. Her dressing sense is unique, and eye-catching even though, they are normally the shades of black and brown. The grace and charm she exhibited was something she was moulded into since childhood. Her parents and grandparents were particular about her etiquettes and still are.
Most of her looks were inherited from her Indian mother, Aaliyah Rohr. Slightly tanned, she had sharp facial features like her mother including an oval shaped face, a sharp jawline, high cheekbones and bow shaped lips. Her pin-straight long black hair was something she inherited from her mother and maternal grandmother. Her hair never tangled. Normally she would wear her hair in simplistic styles like a ponytail or simply letting her hair fall on her shoulder but she still managed to rock the looks. It is something a lot of people are jealous of, though she herself thought they are quite boring. She has straight white teeth with slightly sharp canines and an extremely lovely smile. Her father's contribution was less but significant in her looks. She got her feline black eyes from him. Her eyes are easy to get lost into. Her irises were pitch black like the dark night sky with stars shining in them. Her looks are distracting. She inherited her height from her father as well. The girl is pretty tall for her age and has a slim build just like her mother's. Her ears were pierced at the age of 7, following the Indian traditions. Beautiful diamond earrings adorn her ears. However, she likes to change them once in a while.
But maybe, Violet's voice is more distracting. She has a smooth airy voice, that is extremely attractive. People love to make her laugh just to see her smiling and hear her giggles. Her talking skills are great as well, she naturally sounds mature. She can sing quite well. Her maternal grandmother had tried teaching her Indian classical and thus she knows the basics. Her long slender fingers are perfect to be a pianist. She loves to sing often pairing it up with the melodies of a piano.
Her beauty is something that reminds you of love songs, even if you don't have a crush on her or are in love with her. She is simply a lovely creature.

WC: 402/400Isleen Knight has always been a beautiful girl. Dating back to her great-great-great-grandmother, her ancestry has been bred not only to be Purebloods but to be the most beautiful and wealthy Purebloods. Since her great-great-great-grandmother, her ancestors have been matched with one another to create a line of strikingly pretty Purebloods.
Her mother and father, Evangeline De La Lune and Orion Knight, we matched by their families not only to preserve the perfected bloodline, but as her parents were both very attractive, they would presumably create a very attractive child.
Isleen inherited her emerald green eyes, small nose, pale skin, and shiny hair from her mother and from her father, she was left her raven-dark hair, full lips, thick eyelashes, and sharp jawline.
Isleen has been pretty from a young age and that was only intensified when her mother assigned her a beauty tutor. Her tutor, Mademoiselle Blanchet, taught her since she was six years old how to naturally enhance her beauty with things like a pinch to the cheek, a good face cream, or a special hair brush.
When Isleen turned nine years old, she was astounded by the attention and looks she got. She, at first, felt uncomfortable by the way the boys her age would stare at her, but she soon became used to the astonished looks she received. She quickly caught on and learned how to do her hair in the right way to frame her face, or how to go out into the cold for long enough to give her naturally pale face a warm red hue.
When Isleen turned eleven, it was clear she would be wonderfully beautiful for the expanse of her life. Perhaps it was the way she held herself, so elegant, yet with an air of confidence.
Or maybe it was the way her slender fingers could just as easily play the cello as they could write intricate calligraphy.
Perchance it was the way she could so effortlessly enhance her natural beauty by the simple art of curling her hair or simply wearing the right colour.
It could have also been her voice, as silky as a siren's song yet gentle as a butterfly. Her voice could catch the attention of the whole room if she pleased.
Alas, it, in the end, was all these things combined in such a perfect and eye-capturing way that made Isleen what she was.

Reducio
Justin has a strong relationship with his father, Joseph Shin. Having started a Korean restaurant business as he bounced around the world, life surely wasn’t easy for the man, especially for someone that had to learn the English language as he built his business. But even in the early years, when Joseph Shin barely spoke any English, people described him as an unshakable individual. In every situation, Joseph would be relaxed, composed, cool headed, and actively finding the best plan of action.
Justin highly looked up to his father. He observed every move and heeded every word of wisdom his father bestowed upon him. His father, Mr. Shin, always stated that fear was a sickness that needed to be treated. Naturally, just like his father, Justin would become just as fearless. This was fully nurtured in Justin’s competitive spirit when he played on sports teams against other opponents. The boy found out from an early age that a fearless attitude is what makes an individual strong.
It wasn’t just Mr. Shin that contributed to Justin’s fearlessness. His love for animals and his mother’s profession, desensitized his sense of fear as he often played in the presence of dangerous animals like lions, tigers, and many other cool animals, when he visited his mom’s workplace. Because of his love for animals, Mrs. Shin brought Justin on some of her safari research expeditions, in which Justin’s sense of fear of the world greatly diminished.
Justin views people that are unable to face their fears as “weak.” There are two categories of “weak” people to Justin, and he treats them both very differently. First it is those that are weak, but can be strengthened. To these people, Justin is very nurturing and caring. These are often kids younger than him. The eldest of six siblings, Justin takes it upon himself to make his siblings strong and fearless. This nurturing quality translates to others, as Justin would constantly push and challenge those he believes needs it… even when it is not asked or even perhaps appreciated.
The other category of “weak” people are those that refuse to face their fears, no matter how much you push them. Justin calls these people, “prisoners of their own minds.” He truly believes that the only thing you fear is fear itself. To these people, Justin simply pays no attention, almost as if he has filtered them out of his life. If these individuals ever have a change of heart, and desire to face their fears, Justin is always ready to help someone face them.
