Laurel Wren Demirci

Wren or “That Jock Girl”

April 21st 1998

17

Laurel stands around five foot six inches, perhaps five foot seven if she is standing particularly tall that day. She has long dark hair that reaches to about the middle of her back but is often pulled up into a ponytail or into a tight bun to keep it out of her face. She has warm spring green eyes that have hints and flecks of gold within them. Her face has soft but defined features and a set of lusciously full lips that are naturally dark pink in color. Her skin is a warm tanned olive tone that speaks of her Turkish heritage.

Laurel is usually found in a pair of athletic pants and a moisture wicking t-shirt of some kind or a racer back tank top when outside of class. She also is generally sporting one of her many pairs of sneakers. When she does dress up though Laurel dresses to impress.

Laurel has a tattoo of a sword The blade lies directly on top of her spine and the hilt goes up onto the back of her neck while the sheath lays at about a 45 degree angle beneath the blade of the sword.

Laurel is one of those people that everyone assumes is rather fake because of her relatively nonjudgemental friendliness towards everyone. Despite this once you get to know the girl you will find quite quickly that this is simply Laurel. However she is not one to be scorned as the girl has a ferocious temper that when flared can result in quite the physical beating if given the opportunity. She is quite eloquent though, seeming to always know just what to say and when, even when it's a fiery quip back at someone. She spends the majority of her time outside of class either studying or working out as she has to maintain quite a physique to swing her bat hard enough to sling the bludger. She's a more than adept flier and has incredible instincts as to game play and who to knock out whenever possible.

Laurel was born to Karina and Niall Demirci, two young turkish emigrants to England, Karina’s family was very poor and thus the Demirci clan highly disapproved of their marriage. Though they disapproved of the marriage, wanting Niall to marry to someone of high standing among the pureblood society they could not help but like the young woman. After trying for several years to have a child they finally succeed and Laurel Wren Demirci was born on April 21st 1998. Shortly after this Karina’s parents, who lived in England at the time died suddenly less than a month apart.
Despite their poor standings they had acquired quite a fortune in their time away from high society, manufacturing wands. (The wand Laurel now carries was produced by her grandfather for her grandmother when they were young and studying wand making in China.) Niall and Karina soon moved entirely to her parent’s newly founded estate where they raised Laurel amid all the animals they kept there. Karina and Niall ensured from lots of labor around the grounds of the estate that Laurel would never find herself above her peers and made sure she grew up with a keen interest in her studies.
They were rather unsurprised when the blossoming young lady was sorted into Ravenclaw. Since then she has only grown in intelligence and has developed quite a knack for potions. (Laurel credits her wands dual core for this.)

10" Maple wood with a Veela Hair and Chinese Fireball Horn core
- Veela:
These wands are rarely seen, due to their very temperamental nature. It is rumor that Gregorovitch produces these in Europe. Veela Hair wands will favor witches and wizards of above average intelligence
- Chinese Fireball Horn:
These wand cores are not hard to come by, but seldom used in modern wand crafting. Most of these wands are produced in China. Chinese Fireball Horn makes for a versatile wand that is willing to work with it's user in academics rather than dueling and extracurricular activities. Witches and Wizards that own a Chinese Fireball Horn wand will typically become amazing potioneers or diviners

- Maple Wood
I have often found that those chosen by maple wands are by nature travelers and explorers; they are not stay-at-home wands, and prefer ambition in their witch or wizard, otherwise their magic grows heavy and lackluster. Fresh challenges and regular changes of scene cause this wand to literally shine, burnishing itself as it grows, with its partner, in ability and status. This is a beautiful and desirable wood, and wand quality maple has been among the most costly for centuries. Possession of a maple wand has long been a mark of status, because of its reputation as the wand of high achievers.
