[center]Adelie Evanne Hurst[/center]
[center] 17 years old[/center]
[center]Half Blood[/center]

[center]Alignment: Good[/center]
[center]Gryffindor House[/center]

[center]Personality: Adelie is driven and respected by the staff at Hogwarts, and by most of the students for that reason. She has a hard time understanding humor, so when she does make a joke, she often surprises herself more than anyone else. She despises stupidity, thinking those that blow off class or play pranks that harm others as utterly useless. She is a sort of motherly figure towards the friends she does keep close, scolding them when they don’t keep in line, and often correcting their grammar. She has tried to stop over her years at Hogwarts however, though she struggles. She is one of the most loyal friends one could ever have, often sticking around in friendships when the other involved has hurt her repeatedly. She is very trusting and often naïve, thinking almost everyone good until they prove her wrong. She carries with her a sense of high society, despite not being from money or any sort of special breed, she just carries herself with that sort of dignity. She loves fully, and therefore hates furiously when turned against or when her friends are harmed as well.[/center]
[center]Likes: Cats, quidditch, winning, transfiguration [/center]
[center]Dislikes: Swimming, the Forbidden forest, being compared to her sister, Slytherin[/center]

[center]Biography:[/center]
[center]Adelie was born to a witch mother, and a muggle father. Her father had no clue her mother was a witch, as she kept it from him. She didn’t mind at the time, considering herself too in love to care. But after Adelie was born, there was no keeping the secret any longer. Adelie would do strange things. Move about the room, make instruments play for her entertainment, make toys spin, etc. all without touching them. Her mother admitted her lineage to her husband, who accepted the women in his life for who they were, despite the lack of trust that had started it. Adelie was proving to be gifted practically out of the womb, and so it was no surprise when her younger sister, [url=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DhBjTX8s65M/T02skUtefGI/AAAAAAACqK4/XvJLHEzVyRI/s1600/emilie-voe-02.jpg]Adrianne[/url], came just 2 years after Adelie, that she was talented as well. Though she didn’t show quite as much promise, she was still performing accidental feats of magic by age 2, and much more destructive ones than Adelie. Such as over boiling the coffee pot, causing the cat to float about the room, and turning the oven up to burn dinner. 

On Adelie’s 11th birthday, she received her Hogwarts letter. Her parents were proud and eagerly bought her everything she might need for her magical journey, though her father was a tad bit apprehensive when in Diagon Alley, and Adrianne was more than a little jealous. 

During Adelie’s first year at Hogwarts, while trying to make friends, she was dared to take a swim in the Black Lake. Not one to turn down a dare, she dove in, not knowing the mermaids and other magical beings that lurked within. She has no idea what, but something grabbed her, trying to pull her into the depths. She almost drowned when she pulled out her wand and yelled stupefy, a spell she’d read about when studying prior to the start of the year, and managed to swim away. She passed out when she hit the shore, waking up the hospital wing. Since then, she’s had a terrible fear of deep water. 

She’s always received top scores, and excelled at Transfiguration. By her 6th year, she began trying to become an animagus, with mixed results so far. She is hoping to master the skill during this final year. The classes she has done poorest in were Herbology, having no green thumb at all, and potions. She just would rather use her wand than work up something in a pot, as she usually put it, glossing over that some potions did things a wand couldn’t. She also avoided such subjects as care of magical creatures and divination, assuming herself to not be skilled in those areas without even trying.

Another notable event was in her 5th year when she became Gryffindor beater for the quidditch team. One their first game against Slytherin, the opposing team’s beater hit a bludger towards her and knocked her out of the sky, unconscious. She has never forgotten the insult, and loathes Slytherin quidditch team because of it. After all, she broke several bones in the incident.

Now coming into her last year at Hogwarts, Adelie is looking forward to graduating in order to get a job possibly as Junior Assistant to the Minister of Magic, although she secretly wishes she could play quidditch professionally for the Montrose Magpies.

One of the things that has followed Adelie since her 3rd year at Hogwarts though, was her sister. Her sister who got into Ravenclaw. Her sister who was blonde, beautiful and skinny. Her sister who played seeker for Ravenclaw and has been one of the best in their history. Her sister who excels in all things art, especially Divination. Adelie has been in Adrianne’s shadow in her mind since her little sister got her letter and came to the school, though Adrianne feels the same way. Her sister is stronger than her, smarter than her, and has more friends than her after all, but Adelie has trouble seeing that side of herself at times.
