His extended family shames people who dare mix and match 'true wizarding blood'. It is almost immediately obvious: Armin's platinum blonde hair and pale, flawless skin are rather prominent features – but on closer inspection, the imperfections arise. A nose slightly asymmetrical, lips slightly too full (though not to a great detriment, that much is sure) and the uncomfortable presence of a permanent scowl all detract somewhat from the appearance of 'ethereal beauty' one might expect of such a creature. His chiseled jawline and bright, mischievous blue eyes leave Armin handsome, and quite a catch if one is willing to look past the strange colouring and the unnatural allure that surrounds him. He would have dimples if he smiled more often. In build he is fairly tall at 5'11", though nothing spectacular. He is lean but with broad shoulders and well-defined forearms – the latter notable because he always has his sleeves rolled up. Often scrapes and scratches are visible on them as if by branches and thorns, though few would ever suspect him going out into the the gardens at night to pick flowers and write poetry and gaze at the stars. Armin doesn't make eye contact, or does so only with close friends; however, it seems difficult to attribute it to shyness. His posture is proud and straight, and his head is always held high.[/sub] [hr][hr] [img]http://31.media.tumblr.com/fe48263339538e8e921897ee3cd267af/tumblr_nrr3vw7MNJ1s06h0lo2_250.gif[/img][img]http://33.media.tumblr.com/3fb35102a1a568105fcf560c7c7e6cf5/tumblr_nrr3vw7MNJ1s06h0lo1_250.gif[/img] [hr][hr][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjYwLjNiODZhNS5RbUZ6YVdNZ1NXNW1iM0p0WVhScGIyNCwuMAAAAAA,/velvet-dream.regular.png[/img][/center] [color=609fbf]N A M E[/color] [indent]Armin Aurelius Frost[/indent] [color=609fbf]N I C K N A M E[/color] [indent][b]"Frost"[/b] – Pretty self-explanatory.

Armin [i]hates[/i] a great many people, including everyone who treats him differently because of his allure. It is the curse of the Veela to never know whether one's friends are true or not, and it certainly applies to Armin – such questions keep him up at night and have him staring at the stars, wishing to change his lot in life. He's not particularly happy, as evidenced by his few smiles, though people close to him – those he's tried and tested to ensure it's authentic – might see them a bit more regularly. Armin doesn't react well to new people because he's never sure how they'll react to him. He's resistant to change in general, in fact, and fears many things: betrayal, backstabbing, the loss of his friends and the whole debacle with creature rights. He's a human being too – he just wants everyone to recognise that. That being said, Armin isn't exactly an activist. Or active. He's singularly lazy and loves napping, and sometimes even just getting other people to nap beside him. An introvert though he may be (because social interaction is tiresome for Veela when people are affected by his allure), he sure doesn't shy away from touch. Hugs. Ruffling hair. He's probably just a bit [i]too[/i] invested, with a tendency to be overprotective and get angry on others' behalf, but never his own.[/indent] [color=609fbf]H I S T O R Y[/color] [indent]Veela. Armin is from two long, controversial and completely separate lineages. On his mother's side, dark witches and wizards who supported everyone from Grindelwald to Voldemort, with extended family members in Britain who supported the Muggle-Born Registration Commission. His father's on the other hand are Veela, just as focused on purity as the Frosts. Thus a mixed breed child like Armin was not well-received by either side. His mother, branded with the Dark Mark with a list of heinous atrocities to her name, managed to flee her crimes to the continent while pregnant where Alphonse Moreau helped to hide her. When Armin was four, someone tipped the authorities off about his mother. He suspects that it was his father, somewhat worried about what his son was being taught – that it was okay to hate and hurt the weak, really, and that Dark Magic was good and pure and that he should use it when he was older. This prompted a long, drawn out invasion of their manor to remove dark artefacts, the first of which would be Vanessa Frost. In the fray, Armin was nearly hit by a Killing Curse from her wand. He hasn't quite forgiven her for it yet, though it's doubtful she herself has either. Ever since he worked out that he'd nearly died that night, Armin likes to think it's something that can echo off the walls of Nurmengard and haunt her forever. Following his wife's arrest (and pleading no knowledge of her crimes), Alphonse Frost opted to return to his home country: the United States of America, in particular, Louisiana. It would help to raise his son around family and friends who were Veela, some of whom would know the quirks of half-breeds too. Despite Armin's blood status, his various grandparents and great-grandparents grudgingly allowed the pair to live in the family mansion. Given that as a child Armin's accidental magic was muted, too subtle to be noticed by anyone around him, it was widely thought that he was some sort of Squib caused from the mixing of wizard and Veela blood. But, no, it turned out he was perfectly normal when it came to being a wizard. After receiving his acceptance letter at eleven, then a wand of his own, his grandmother was still not willing to pay for his education in Beauxbatons and it was instead decided he would go to Salem Witches' Institute. In his seventh year now, he is mostly known for being a [i]bad[/i] student in subjects he has no interest in (which is most of them), for being found in odd places napping off a long night doing nothing in the gardens or for his achievements in the duelling club. As it turned out, much to Armin's despair, he has a talent for Defense Against the Dark Arts... and an interest on the other side of the coin.[/indent] [color=609fbf]F A M I L Y[/color] [indent]Vanessa Frost, 48 – A dark witch. Armin's annual visit to her in Nurmengard is a thing he dreads, because she is exactly how he remembers her to be: wild-eyed, sallow-skinned and with a certain mane of black, untameable hair. He looks nothing like her, but fears becoming her. She is [i]so, so[/i] proud of her son, especially since he supposedly "takes after her in all but appearance, and thank Merlin for that!" When news of Armin's wand reached her, back when he was eleven years old, she sent him a damp letter filled with scribbled congratulations and racial slurs against Mudbloods: her wand was aspen, 12" and had a core of dragon heartstring too. Alphonse Frost (formerly Moreau), 40 – Armin's father; a full-blooded Veela who is one of the first in his generation to marry a 'normal' witch, as in one who has no creature blood running through her veins. Originally hailing from Louisiana, then Germany (to marry), and now having returned to New Orleans, he speaks English, German and a French-based Creole as many American Veela do. He's a good father, if a little air-headed and easily pushed around. He comments on neither Armin's curiosity of the Dark Arts nor his failing grades and is more than happy to brag to others about his son's duelling accomplishments. Anna Moreau, 28 – Aunt through Armin's father's side; a full-blooded Veela who used to babysit Armin when he was younger just as Armin does now for the woman's daughter, Alina, during the summers. Astra Moreau, 62 – Grandmother on Armin's father's side; a full-blooded Veela matriarch who still appears as youthful as she was in her thirties. Horrible temper and tends to get snippy with Armin due to his impure blood, which is ironic: the rest of the Wizarding World views him as little more than a creature due to his [i]Veela[/i] blood, not his magical blood. Astra vastly prefers Alina, her other grandchild, and it shows. Agnes Moreau, 80 – Great-grandmother on Armin's father's side; a full-blooded Veela who is both a war veteran and a former teacher at Beauxbatons. She is much kinder, much more mellow than her daughter and heir to the Moreau family name. Rumour has it that she hasn't transformed into her avian form for several decades. Agnes has two 'sets' of children: the first with her Veela husband and then, when he died, a human man who she fell in love again with. The latter did not take the Moreau family name and thus Armin has had no contact with them. Alice Moreau, 96 – Great-great-grandmother on Armin's father's side; yet another full-blooded Veela and a secretive, isolated woman overall. With only one daughter, Agnes, who she has since fallen out with (though lives in the same manor as), it's easy to see that she has distanced herself from everyone save her own mother, Annette. Interestingly, she doesn't care one whit about blood purity, which puts her at odds with... literally everyone else in her family. Annette Moreau, 120 – Ancient great-great-great-grandmother on Armin's father's side; the oldest living full-blooded Veela in the family. Annette is a former (or current, since she never really stopped) Grindelwald supporter and speaks exclusively in French. She dislikes Armin and refuses to talk to him, though was not entirely disapproving of Vanessa Frost as a match for Alphonse, since she was a dark wizard. Housebound. Alina Moreau, 11 – Armin's cousin, full-blooded Veela. She does not attend Salem and instead goes to Beauxbatons on the recommendation of all her various grandmothers, who seem to have formed a league of evil. Armin buys her extravagant birthday gifts, and she does consider him her "favourite". She appears to have some talent in divination, though like her uncle Alphonse, is a little air-headed.[/indent] [color=609fbf]F A M I L I A R[/color] [indent][img]http://cdn.playbuzz.com/cdn/c67acc41-2a9f-4509-8a29-dd6a635d92b4/a2655aa2-5552-4ed8-ad26-4f57b77ad415.gif[/img] Moonshine – an unfriendly (to most people) black cat with a lame front paw. Armin usually keeps her away from people, just in case she gets squished again, as the first run in with a car in the muggle world resulted in a bent tail and a few scrapes that can still be seen through her dark fur. With a broken face but a generally regal, queenly appearance, she can be seen catching mice in the dormitory or fish in the lakes outside.[/indent] [indent][/indent] [color=609fbf]T H E M E S O N G[/color] [indent][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtmorUXAwiI]Romeo And Juliet – The Killers (Cover of Dire Straits)[/url] [sub]A lovestruck Romeo sings a street suss serenade Laying everybody low with a love song that he made Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade Says something like you and me babe how about it?[/sub][/indent] [center][hr][hr] [img]http://www.stilefemminile.it/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/gif.gif[/img] [hr][hr][/center] [center][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjYwLjNiODZhNS5SWGgwY21GdVpXOTFjeUJKYm1adi4wAAAAAAAAAAAA/velvet-dream.regular.png[/img][/center] [indent][list][*] President of the Duelling Club.

However her current height is five foot five. Chances are she'll reach five foot seven or eight before she stops. She has pale skin covered in freckles. Sometimes she likes them and leaves them uncovered. Other times she hates them and applies cover up so they're less noticeable. Her body type is slim, something she inherited from her mother. She only weighs 120 pounds. Because of this she's pretty much a plank. She has no curves whatsoever to speak of. She doesn't even have to wear a bra because she's so flat. Ophélie has red hair. Depending on the light it can either appear darker or lighter. Though in the summer it is a lot lighter than in the winter time, mainly because of the proportionate amount of time spent outdoors. Her red hair hits her upper back, about midway/bottom on her shoulder blades. When she tilts her head back she can feel it hit her lower back. She typically wears her hair down. On occasion she'll braid it or even let her friends mess with her hair. She will never do anything fancy with it. Unless her mother makes her. Ophélie doesn't have the typical blue eyes associated with red heads. Instead her eyes are black. Her father calls them pools of obsidian. Of course he's usually talking about her mother's eyes... Due to her pale complexion she cannot wear certain colors in her wardrobe. Earth tones are the best colors on her. Reds, yellows, pinks, etc. doesn't do her any favors. On a typical day Ophélie usually wears jeans, ballet flats and a loose fitting shirt. Her idea of dressing up means swapping out her jeans for a skirt. (Usually floral print) Ophélie doesn't have any scars or piercings. She doesn't like earrings, because she tends to forget she's wearing them and then somehow yank them out. Which hurts. So she doesn't bother. Ophélie has so much swagger all the boys are jelly. When she walks into a room, it's like she owns it. She doesn't shy away from anyone and always makes eye contact. She also smiles a lot. When she does smile her mouth tends to lift further on the left side than the rights, making it a little lopsided. There is also a small dimple on her chin that appears when she smiles.[/sub][/i] [hr][hr][img]http://33.media.tumblr.com/80845991c95a98adc061726d2e85c423/tumblr_n7yza69pIH1sqstgio2_250.gif[/img] [hr][hr][img]http://i.imgur.com/LEjRSWa.png[/img][/center] [color=82ca9d]N A M E[/color] [indent]Ophélie Victoria Moore[/indent] [color=82ca9d]N I C K N A M E[/color] [indent][b]"Lily"[/b] by her family.

She loves to be around people and will generally try to make friends with everyone. However if you brush her off, or are rude, she'll make no effort to include you. In her opinion the ball's in your court. She put in her effort, you need to put in yours if you want to be friends. She's a firm believer of meeting people halfway. That said Ophélie might make friends with anyone, but she doesn't conciser them close friends unless they meet certain criteria. Because her best friends are basically family. And family is very important to Ophélie. Family might make you angry, frustrated, or worse. But they're always worth it in the end. They're the people you come back to over and over. And on the flip side, even if she vexes them, makes them pull out their hair or turn grey prematurely. They're there for her too. Ophélie cares a lot. And she doesn't care who knows it. She's fiercely loyal to her family and close friends. If you mess with them, you mess with her. And Ophélie doesn't forgive easily. It's not that she nurses grudges and will get revenge later. She wont, because she's a very upfront and frank person. She wont wait to call you out. Rather, she doesn't forgive until she's sure you're honest about it. Casual "[i]sorry[/i]"s don't cut it in her book. Ophélie is also very confident, self aware and some might even say narcissistic. She knows what she's capable of and she's not shy about it. So much so that some people have given her a nickname that rhymes with witch and is far less flattering. She doesn't compromise on her morals or standards, not even for her friends or families. Still, there are times when Ophélie would like nothing more than to kick back and take the load off. Mostly she's "[i]on[/i]" with a fierce drive to learn and to succeed. It's not often she'll let herself rest and just enjoy a day. But when she does she turns into a very easy going person and will often just lay on the grass and contemplate the mysteries of the universe.[/indent] [color=82ca9d]H I S T O R Y[/color] [indent]Ophélie was born to Lea and Christopher Moore. Her mother was Lea Lemaire, a french woman. She was born and raised in southern France. She graduated from Beauxbatons when she was eighteen and traveled to the United States. There she meet Chris, her future husband. They didn't marry at first, but when she discovered she was pregnant (she was only 19) Lea panicked. Her father was a very unforgiving man and would rain down the wrath of Hell upon her if she had a child out of wedlock. Instead of letting Lea get an abortion like she wanted, Chris instead proposed. The two had five more children over the course of twenty years. Her last child was born when she was thirty two. Ophélie was the second to last child born. The six children are grouped in two sets. The first set is the older Moore children. They are all out of the house and pursuing their own lives. They are also all in their twenties. They are close friends to each other. The second set are the younger children. Ophélie, Babs and Steve. They are still going to school at Salem. They are also close friends. There is a very start difference between the Moore family and the Lemaires. The later is a pure blood family with all the traditions and trappings that come with it. The Moores are a very diverse family. They've mixed their [i]blood[/i] with muggles and other non-pure bloods. They are very casual about the whole wizarding thing. This dichotomy created more than a little strain in Ophélie's household. Her mother Lea wanted to raise her children like she had been raised. Her father Chris wanted the same. In the end they ended up somewhere in between. Every two years the Moores would travel to France and live with the Lemaires in their ancestral home. The rest of the time they lived in the midwest of America. As a young child Ophélie was introduced to the idea that she'd live in two worlds. All the Moores never neglected the [i]muggle[/i] life. They never separated themselves from the muggle world or the wizarding world. Because of this Ophélie was expected not only to graduate from Salem, but also from the muggle equivalent. Because of this Ophélie is friends with a lot of muggle kids her age. They all think it's weird that the Moores all sent their children to a private school. But in the way of the West, it was live and let live. The fact that Ophélie had summer school just made the other kids glad they weren't her.[/indent] [color=82ca9d]F A M I L Y[/color] [indent]The Moore family doesn't really have any reputation in the Wizarding world. They're your common family. The working class that you forget about. But that suits them just fine. They don't need fame nor fortune. The Lemaire family on the other hand is a Pure Blood French Wizarding family. In Fance they are very well respected. Generations of the Lmaire family have gone to Beauxbatons. The Lemaires have produced their fair share of dark wizards. But they don't talk about it. [color=82ca9d]I M M E D I A T E F A M I L Y[/color] [indent]Mother | [b]Lea Moore[/b] | 46 | French.

Have you seen the way her hair never flies into her face, unlike the rest of us mortals? Seriously, even if the wind is blowing at 500 miles per hour, her long hair is like [url=http://49.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luudkfmFjN1qfrsjso2_500.gif]Pocahontas, singing "Colors of the Wind."[/url] She prides herself on her dark, wavy hair and spends a moderate amount of time styling (and flattening out the occasional cowlick) her hair. She usually lets her long hair hang down freely--she doesn't do fancy hairstyles very often. They're reserved for special occasions. The Disney Princess that she's most often compared to is Snow White, due to the sharp contrast of her dark hair and her pale skin. Alice has a very delicate complexion and is one of the people who is unable to tan; she only burns. She spends a lot of time outside, tending to her gardens but she always makes sure that she applies ample amounts of sunscreen. Her gentle hazel eyes are complemented by a thick set of eyebrows. Her eyebrows are on fleek, but she used to be quite self-conscious about them, and they were often the subject of bullying at school when she was younger. She has grown to appreciate them a little bit more in recent years. Despite wanting to thin them out, her mother encouraged her to embrace them because they were different--and that's what made her beautiful. She's stuck with them, and she finds that she likes them a lot better now... But it's still a tender subject for her. Don't point them out, please. Alice's standard style of clothing is rather feminine. She holds great pride in her sense of fashion and enjoys coordinating outfits the night before. She owns a variety of casual dresses, skirts, pants, and tops in all different colors. Layering is her favorite fashion technique, and she owns a lot of cardigans and tank tops and such for this purpose. Oh, she's also perfected the art of walking and running in heels.[/sub] [hr][hr] [img]http://38.media.tumblr.com/a26003a58531e910b16efa4613e7712e/tumblr_n400fgCas01tyre3wo2_250.gif[/img][img]http://31.media.tumblr.com/57ecfffd87634a1f236361e00fa8d257/tumblr_n400fgCas01tyre3wo1_250.gif[/img] [hr][hr][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjcyLmY4NmRmNS5RbUZ6YVdNZ1NXNW1iM0p0WVhScGIyNCwuMQA,/milton-two.twobold.png[/img][/center] [color=FFB6C1]N A M E[/color] [indent]Alice Leticia Malone[/indent] [color=FFB6C1]N I C K N A M E[/color] [indent][b]Lissy -[/b] There's not many nicknames for Alice, but some people insist on finding their little pet name for her.

Those are three things that always alert people to Alice's presence. Alice is just as lovely as she looks with a sweet disposition, kind words and an overall air of innocence surrounding her. She's one of the kindest individuals you'll ever meet; she's so empathetic and is the type of person to cry when another person does. There's a certain whimsical nature to her in the way that she finds childlike amusement and wonder in most things. Alice is rather shy and timid, unable to truly come out of her shell until she really gets to know someone. Even then, she tends to tone down on conversation topics that excite her so she doesn't ramble on and bore someone. She often interrupts her talking with an "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm probably boring you" because she's not exactly confident in what she does. Her innocence and doe-eyed stare is one of her charms, but it's also a double-edged sword. She's rather gullible and trusts extremely easily without question. Alice takes most things at face value and doesn't quite know how to question motives or even consider that not everyone is a kind soul with good intentions. Her blatant trustfulness is an obvious flaw that some people have taken advantage of in the past; but it you rephrase it kindly, she opens her arms and is willing to accept everyone and anyone. [/indent] [color=FFB6C1]H I S T O R Y[/color] [indent]Isn't it exciting when you learn that something you've dreamed of all of those years is real? Alice was absolutely ecstatic at the mere [i]possibility[/i] that magic might be real when she received her letter from school. Having grown up in a muggle family with a dull muggle life, Alice always felt that she didn't quite belong. She was a tad too peculiar and different to completely fit in with her muggle peers. Alice had always been a steadfast believer in magic, fairy tales and Santa Claus. Getting a letter from Salem was proof to her that at least something special existed. And then she realized that the letter implied that [i]she[/i] was capable of creating such magic. And to her, that was the best thing imaginable. She honestly thought that it was a dream or a prank of some sort, until she stepped through the halls of Salem.[/indent] [color=FFB6C1]F A M I L Y[/color] [indent]Alice comes from a very unassuming muggle family, unlike many of her peers and classmates at the Salem Witches' Institute. She has absolutely no magical lineage to boast about, or any notable deeds that her ancestors have done.
