[b]Name:[/b] Elise Reed

[b]Date of Birth:[/b] 5/25/1989

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Blood Status:[/b] Pureblood
 
[b]Wand:[/b] Unicorn hair/ Willow / 91/2 inches/ Quite springy

[b]Personality:[/b] Elise is a friendly bubble of energy, always has been, always will be. Unless you cross her or her ‘baby’ cousin, Mary, or anyone she calls friend. Then she is an angry badger, who won’t let you forget what you did. She has calmed down a lot from when she was a younger girl, but the energy and friendliness is still there. However, she can be serious when needed, or when it is something she cares about deeply, like her friends and studies. The quickest way to go from being a friend to her enemy is to insult her cousin or friends. Otherwise, she will consider someone a friend until proven otherwise. 

[b]Appearance:[/b] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/0c/49/d4/0c49d47c60d1398240b3fe8b4576aa0d.jpg[/img]

Elise stands at roughly five foot five, and weighs around one hundred and thirty pounds, but has no intention of losing weight. She has bright green eyes that she frames with big rimmed glasses, which yes, she does need to wear. (She’s slightly nearsighted.) She has blonde hair that reaches her mid-back, which she usually wears loose. She tends to stand very tall, and has an almost permanent smile. She wears loose clothing, mostly because that’s what she enjoys wearing. She also has a [url=http://www.heartsmith.com/media/_keyword_pages/melissa.jpg] locket[/url] she always wears at all times.

[b]Background:[/b] Elise is the product of a union between Eastern and Western magic. Her father was an immigrant from Hong Kong, and met her mother in the Department of International Magical Cooperation, and after a whirlwind courtship the two were married quickly. Her mother is part of the Winthrop house, an old house in England of magic. 

Elise grew up on the Winthrop estate as an only child for most of her life, until she was about eight years old. One night, her uncle Andrew showed up with her cousin, Mary. Elise tried to spend some time with her cousin, but it took her sometime to open up. But with some time, trust, and a lot of books, Mary and Elise have become as thick as thieves.

When both of their letters came, Elise was so excited. She ended up in Hufflepuff house, disappointing her mother a bit since she didn’t end up in Ravenclaw, but Hufflepuff suited Elise better. 

The seven years at Hogwarts saw Elise making quite a few friends that she would keep for life, and an education that would help lead her down the path of being a medi-witch, like she had always wanted to be. 

[b]Aspirations:[/b] Elise would love to be a medi-witch like her father, and has been taking her potions and transfiguration class serious for this aspiration. However, she has decided to go with her cousin, Mary, in a trip around the world with a few other recent Hogwarts graduates. She does want to see other forms of healing around the world. 

[b]House:[/b] Hufflepuff!

[b]Academic Record:[/b] Elise always knew she wanted to be a medi-witch, and has worked towards that goal. Even growing up in a long line of wizards, she was terrible at flying, as a few of heights crippled her a bit. She was never one for dueling either, hating fighting with her friends, even if it is not really fighting. She was a very serious student, and did her best to study, but ended up average in some categories. She took some private lessons alongside another student with the resident Matron of Hogwarts to help with her healing skills.

Took NEWT level Herbology, Transfiguration, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions. She got most Outstandings and Exceeds Expectations in her courses.

[hider=Relationships]
[b]Relationships:[/b] Elise Reed

[b]Character:[/b] Mary Winthrop
[b]Relationship:[/b] ‘Baby’ cousin, one of her best friends, and will do almost literally anything for her. Their friendship was born over books, and they are as close as sisters. Elise will protect her baby cousin at all costs. She is one of the few people to know about what Mary went through.

[b]Character:[/b] Will Lawrence
[b]Relationship:[/b] Elise doesn’t really like Will after he dated Mary. She heard quite a few stories from Mary, and agrees. He is a ‘tool.’ 

[b]Character:[/b] Elizabeth “Liza” Ainsworth
[b]Relationship:[/b] Elise is happy to call Liza one of her friends. They both want to be healers, and became friends in class as well as in their private lessons with the Matron. She may be a bit introverted, but Elise doesn’t mind.

[b]Character:[/b] Ross Anderson
[b]Relationship:[/b] Knows him in passing. They had a few NEWT classes together, but don’t know one another that well. He is friends with Liza, as they are house and classmates, so Elise would like to get to know him better.

[b]Character:[/b] Beck Routledge
[b]Relationship:[/b] They were friends, and Elise still considers her a friend, but they are no where near as close as they use to be. They will still chat from time to time.

[b]Character:[/b] Darren Hughes
[b]Relationship:[/b] Shared a few classes, and they are on friendly terms. They would occasionally team up in class, and sometimes when Darren would get injured, he would come find her to get healed. She appreciated it, as it gave her some practice. So, she calls Darren a friend. Also, since he is protective of Mary, he is really on her good side. 

[b]Character:[/b] Siobhan MacFusty
[b]Relationship:[/b] She knows Siobhan and is friendly with her, but doesn’t know her very well. 

[b]Character:[/b] Kyle McCarthy
[b]Relationship:[/b] They are on friendly terms, having shared every NEWT class together, but other than that, there isn’t that much. She calls him friend, but what he calls her, only he knows.

[b]Character:[/b] Arthur James Mallister
[b]Relationship:[/b] Shared several NEWT classes, but not much other than that. (Ideas?)

[b]Character:[/b] Remington 'Remy' Halls
[b]Relationship:[/b] They were once on friendly terms, before Remington started showing his true colors, as it would seem. After that, Elise and Remington drifted apart, and while she might say hello to him on the occasion, they are not what one would call friends.[/hider]
