Though she has a rather willowy build, she is one of the toughest women you will meet and not one to underestimate. She is still a beautiful woman and does not show her age; the only giveaway is her thick, tightly curled black hair, which has become streaked with gray with her age. Petra’s rich brown skin has few wrinkles, and her high cheekbones and sharp jawline lend to her regal appearance. She has deep brown eyes framed by thin, arched eyebrows, and her nose is slightly crooked from a break that happened during her time as an Auror. Petra is almost always found wearing her teaching robes, and will occasionally wear a headscarf or bandana tied around her head in her house colours. On the rare event that she is not wearing her school robes, she can be found in long, flowy dresses, often in subdued, elegant colours with loud patterns.[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]- PERSONALITY -[/b][/h3] [indent][b]P E R S O N A L I T Y T R A I T S[/b] [indent]Petra is a rather serious, no-nonsense witch who has been around for quite some time and therefore is fairly set in her ways for how things should be done. She knows the ins and outs of many things, and believes that if something works well, there is no point in messing with it. This has led some to say that she is somewhat old-fashioned, which is not necessarily untrue – Petra simply believes that there is no point in wasting time trying to improve things rather than moving on to create new things. She is a very hard-working woman, and has spent many years working to get where she wants to be in life. She was a very well-respected Auror, and retains that reputation as a professor at Hogwarts. Very loyal to her friends, Petra would go out of her way to protect those that she cares for, even if it has been a while since they have been in contact. She is confident speaking in front of a large audience, and has an innate ability to command the attention of a room, contributing to her skills as a teacher. Students dare not mess with Petra – she is a tolerant woman for the most part, but if you cross the line she sets in her class, she will not hesitate to dish out detentions until the lesson is learned. She does not tolerate failure, and expects students to work hard to succeed, likely stemming from the pressures she puts on herself. Despite this, she is liked as a teacher, as she has a knack with Charmwork and can help even the worst student do well, provided they try. She does have a softer side that she rarely shows, and though she has never had children, she can be very motherly and really likes kids. As an older woman, Petra tends to get tired quicker than her younger colleagues, though she is still an avid traveler. Every summer Petra travels to at least one new country, immersing herself in the culture and perfecting new Charm spells.[/indent] [b]H O B B I E S[/b] [indent]Wizard’s Chess, reading, walking, having tea with friends, traveling.[/indent] [b]S K I L L S[/b] [indent]Charmwork, dueling, hard-working, loyal, teaching, insightful, articulate, meticulous, organized.[/indent] [b]W E A K N E S S E S[/b] [indent]Strict, stubborn, over-critical, gets tired somewhat easily, nagging, old-fashioned.[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]- MAGIC & SCHOOL -[/b][/h3] [indent][b]D E T A I L S[/b] [indent]- PATRONUS: Dolphin - LINEAGE: Half-blood[/indent] [b]W A N D[/b] [indent]- WOOD: Rowan - CORE: Phoenix feather - LENGTH: 12 inches - FLEXIBILITY: Unyielding[/indent] [b]S U B J E C T S[/b] [indent]- Teaches: Charms[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]- BACKSTORY -[/b][/h3] [indent][indent]Petra was born to a Pureblood father and a Muggleborn mother, who noticed right away that she has a talent with magic. When she was 11, she began attending Hogwarts and was sorted into Hufflepuff house. She quickly gained the respect of her classmates for her proficiency in Charmwork and dueling, and graduated among the top of her class. After graduating, Petra began training as an Auror. During this time, she married another Auror-in-training, Antone Mallow. She eventually became a fully-fledged Auror and was one of those tasked with fighting the Dark Lord’s army, and as such she took part in many battles, including the Battle of Hogwarts alongside her husband. Unfortunately, during this battle Antone was killed by Fenrir Greyback. Following this battle and the death of her husband, she decided to semi-retire, and only took on students to train into Aurors. Her last (and most favourite) student was Naoko Hayashi, and after Naoko became a fully trained Auror, she retired. Professor McGonagall offered her a position at Hogwarts as the Charms professor as Professor Flitwick has just retired, which she graciously accepted. Soon after, Petra became the Head of Hufflepuff, and hopes to become the Headmistress of Hogwarts when Professor McGonagall retires.

She is an undeniably gorgeous woman, and though she is not especially tall, she is an imposing presence and appears to almost float when she walks. She has long, wavy silver hair that she typically wears loose, falling around her navel. Her eyes are kind but piercing, blue/gray in colour, framed by full and dark eyebrows. Margaret’s high cheekbones and flawless pale skin contribute to her reputation as a beautiful witch, and her jaw is strong and square. Her nose is slightly crooked, and she has her septum pierced. She is a curvy woman, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and is covered from the neck down, aside from her hands, in black and gray tattoos. Many of her tattoos are nature-themed, and move around their designated areas much like photographs do. Of course, it is rare for students to see many of her tattoos; typically, only her intricate chestpiece is exposed when she is in her casual wear. When she is not wearing her teaching robes, Margaret can typically be found in low cut (typically off-the-shoulder), floor length gowns in jewel tones – her favourites are navy blue and maroon.[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]- PERSONALITY -[/b][/h3] [indent][b]P E R S O N A L I T Y T R A I T S[/b] [indent]Margaret is a Ravenclaw woman to her core. She is absolutely brilliant, and tends to be one step ahead of everyone else in any given situation. She has a sharp wit and a dry sense of humour, though she is rarely one to joke around. Hard-working and incredibly driven, she is a career-focused witch who has dedicated her life to the art of potion making. She is a bold woman who is unafraid to voice her opinions, though at times she can come across as brazen and tactless. Margaret is incredibly hard to read and does not reveal her true self easily – she is extremely professional almost to the point of acting robotic, and does not have many friends. Though she is an easy woman to talk to, she very seldom gives out information about herself, and you may find yourself leaving a conversation with her feeling like you know even less about her than you did before! She does care very deeply for animals, however, and has on many occasions been seen on the grounds in the company of Hagrid, caring for his animals and those from the Forbidden Forest that have been injured in some way. Margaret takes her job at Hogwarts extremely seriously, and works very hard to ensure that she provides the best possible education to her students. She is firm but fair with her students, which has given her a good reputation and the respect of students, which have lent to her job security, despite Ministry pressure to fire her. All students are eager to take Potions class, partially because she works so hard to help all of her students succeed, but also because many of them simply are enamored with her beauty. Margaret cares so much about her students, and truly wants to see them all do well and enjoy potion-making, even if they do not share her love for it.

Her mother worked in the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic, her father owned an Apothecary shoppe, and she had one older brother, who had gone on to play Quidditch professionally for the Pride of Portree team. She had been drawn to potion-making since she was young, and spent much of her early years helping her father around his shoppe and experimenting with various ingedients and potion recipes. Margaret proved to be very talented at potion-making, and was absolutely ecstatic when she went off to Hogwarts, eagar to learn even more about potions. Though she was easily the top of her class, Professor Snape never paid her much attention; he had even told her once it was a pity she hadn’t been put in Slytherin house, as there she could have made a name for herself. Instead of getting discouraged, Margaret got angry – she worked twice as hard as her classmates, to the point of isolating herself from her friends, and graduated at the top of her class, though she never received the highest mark in Potions. After graduating, she travelled across the UK and Europe to learn new potion-making techniques and about new ingredients; while she was away, she received the news that her mother had been killed during a break-in at the Department of Mysteries. Margaret immediately went home to find her distraught father, and spent some time back home both caring for her father and managing his Apothecary. During this time, she wrote a book detailing updated methods and materials for potion-making, A Modern Sorcerer’s Guide to Magical Drafts and Potions, which was picked up by Headmistress McGonagall as a compulsory textbook for Potions class at Hogwarts. Shortly thereafter, Margaret was invited to teach the class itself at Hogwarts, which she excitedly accepted. [/indent][/indent] [h3][b]- OTHER -[/b][/h3] [indent]Margaret was born with jet-black hair, and accidentally turned it silver when she was young, messing around in her father’s Apothecary when her father’s back was turned. Since her parents never saw what she did, they never figured out how to change it back. It has never bothered Margaret, and she has never considered researching how to fix it.[/indent] [/hider] [hider=Professor Edmund Travers] [center][h1][b][img]https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjgwLmY5MWIwYi5SV1J0ZFc1a0lGUnlZWFpsY25NLC4w/tom-brother.regular.png[/img][/b][/h1] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/f5/a9/98/f5a99896a5be546189744b164949731b.jpg[/img] [i]"Immense power is acquired by assuring yourself in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs."[/i] [h3]| [b]39 [/b] | [b]Transfiguration Professor[/b] | [b]Head of Gryffindor[/b] | [b]He/him[/b] |[/h3][/center] [h3][b]- APPEARANCE -[/b][/h3] [indent][b]D E T A I L S[/b] [indent]- HEIGHT: 6'2" - WEIGHT: 185 lbs - HAIR COLOUR: Dark brown - EYE COLOUR: Blue - ETHNICITY: English - BIRTHDAY: August 17th [/indent] [b]D E S C R I P T I O N[/b] [indent]Edmund is a very good-looking man, and is the subject of many students’ crushes.

His nose is the only slight imperfection on his face, leaning slightly to the right from an old break. Edmund’s pale blue eyes contrast sharply with his wavy dark brown hair, which he keeps carefully styled to look professional. He has some facial hair, typically a moustache and some chin scruff. If he isn’t wearing his teaching robes, Edmund tends to always dress professionally, usually wearing a dress shirt and pants, often paired with a vest, when around the school.

He is a well-liked and respected professor at Hogwarts even though he was appointed by the Ministry of Magic. He is a natural born leader and an excellent teacher, liked by even the Slytherin students as his class is known for being relaxed and fun, yet full of learning. Edmund wants his students to like him, and so he tries to build his lessons around how he feels his students will both enjoy and learn best. He is also an accomplished dueler, and is known as not one to trifle with. However, much of this is a façade. Edmund is so likeable and such a good actor that he is complely unsuspected of being anything but the kind gentleman he portrays. He is actually a very power-hungry man who will stop at nothing to attain what he wants, and believes himself and his cause are superior to all else.

After he graduated, he moved to Bulgaria to pursue a career as a Dueller, though he decided after a few years he no longer wanted this career. During this time, he discovered that he had a talent in Curse-Breaking, and choose to pursue a career in this field. Edmund was hired by the Ministry of Magic as a Curse-Breaker, and was tasked with breaking curses set by Voldemort’s followers.

Though she is a bit on the quieter side, she tends to get along well with just about everyone, but she tends to only be really close to a few people.

Min loves her friends very much, and is always willing to do whatever it takes to help them out. Even though she is quiet, she possesses a quiet strength within herself and is not easily swayed in her thinking, though she sometimes has trouble standing up for herself because she hates confrontation. She would much rather be the mediator, as she is quite good at seeing both sides of the story and helping people reach a common ground. The one thing that really brings Min out of her shell is art. She loves art in all of its form, and is a talented artist herself with an eye for beauty and fashion.

Maddie has a feminine, heart-shaped face, with a straight, slightly upturned nose, high cheekbones, and a narrow chin. Her eyes are hazel in colour and are framed by full eyelashes.

She likes to wear dark colours, especially black and dark green.[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]- PERSONALITY -[/b][/h3] [indent][b]P E R S O N A L I T Y T R A I T S[/b] [indent]Maddie is a nice girl, if you fit into her ideas of what makes a proper witch/wizard. Being from a Pureblood lineage, she is rather pretentious and snobby, and refuses to associate with those she has been taught to dislike. She thinks that she is better than most other people, and will not hesitate to let them know it, especially when she’s surrounded by other people who think the same way as she does. Maddie has been spoiled since she was young, and so she is in the habit of getting her own way – she does not like to be told ‘no,’ and will get extremely upset if she doesn’t get what she wants. Although she is not necessarily dumb, she isn’t the most academically inclined girl, and doesn’t put too much effort into school, doing just well enough for her parents to not be upset. Somewhat of an air-head, she doesn’t think for herself on many things, preferring to follow the lead of someone else instead. Maddie can be very manipulative, and is very good at wrapping boys around her little finger when she turns on the charm. She can be very sweet, especially with her friends, but to others it is completely superficial as a means to an end. Maddie is not necessarily a bad person, but she does have many not-so-nice tendencies and views that have been ingrained into her.[/indent] [b]H O B B I E S[/b] [indent]Hairstyling, makeup, hanging out with friends, gossiping, sunbathing, flirting, dancing.[/indent] [b]S K I L L S[/b] [indent]Manipulation, straightforward, styling hair, captivating, resourceful, polite, charming.[/indent] [b]W E A K N E S S E S[/b] [indent]Insecure, superficial, school, abrasive, conceited, fussy, inconsiderate, prejudiced.[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]- MAGIC & SCHOOL -[/b][/h3] [indent][b]D E T A I L S[/b] [indent]- PATRONUS: - - LINEAGE: Pureblood[/indent] [b]W A N D[/b] [indent]- WOOD: Hawthorne - CORE: Unicorn hair - LENGTH: 8 3/4 inches - FLEXIBILITY: Very flexible[/indent] [b]S U B J E C T S[/b] [indent]- TAKEN: Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, History of Magic, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy, Herbology and Flying - BEST SUBJECT(S): Charms - WORST: Astronomy - FAVOURITE: Charms - LEAST FAVOURITE: Defense Against the Dark Arts[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]- BACKSTORY -[/b][/h3] [indent][indent]Maddie grew up in a Pureblood wizarding family with an old lineage, belonging to Slytherin house for as long as anyone can remember. From a young age, she was ingrained with purist ideals and sentiments, believing Pureblood wizards and witches were superior to all others, so it is no wonder that she acts the way she does. Her father co-owns Borgin & Burkes in Diagon Ally, and her mother works as a prosecution lawyer at the Ministry of Magic, so she spent most of her childhood hanging out at her best friend, [name]’s house. Though her parents may not have had much time for her or her older sister, Annalise, the two girls were always spoiled by their parents and treated like princesses, especially by their father. When Annalise went to Hogwarts and got into Slytherin, Maddie became obsessed for her own ability to attend Hogwarts and make Slytherin house. She has a lot to live up to, as her sister is one of the prettiest and most popular girls in her year, and Maddie is secretly very scared she won’t live up to her parents’ expectations of her.[/indent][/indent] [h3][b]- OTHER -[/b][/h3] [indent]Maddie has a pet female barn own, named Piper.[/indent] [/hider] [hider=Jacob Yaxley] [center][h1][b][img]https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjgwLjFkNjkwYy5TbUZqYjJJZ1dXRjRiR1Y1LjE,/bilbo.regular.png[/img][/b][/h1] [img]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTUxOTQ0MTQ1MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNjE1NzU1MDE@._V1_.jpg[/img] [i]"Quote."[/i] [h3]| [b]11 [/b] | [b]First[/b] | [b]Slytherin[/b] | [b]He/him[/b] |[/h3][/center] [h3][b]- APPEARANCE -[/b][/h3] [indent][b]D E T A I L S[/b] [indent]- HEIGHT: 4'10" - WEIGHT: 95 lbs - HAIR COLOUR: Black - EYE COLOUR: Blue - ETHNICITY: English -BIRTHDAY: January 7th [/indent] [b]D E S C R I P T I O N[/b] [indent]Jacob is an already attractive young boy, though he also gives off the aura of the “bad-boy” type. He has a somewhat narrow face with a long, strong jaw, and he never appears to look too impressed by anything. He has blue eyes and a prominent, slightly upturned nose. Jacob’s hair is black with a slight dark brown tinge in the sunlight, that he keeps intentionally tousled by styling it with hair gel. He has an athletic build with very broad shoulders, even though he hasn’t fully filled out yet. When not wearing his school robes, Jacob tends to wear almost everything black – black t-shirts, black jeans, and his favourite black leather jacket (if the weather calls for it), though he will sometimes be seen wearing greens in honour of Slytherin house, or occasionally dark blue.[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]- PERSONALITY -[/b][/h3] [indent][b]P E R S O N A L I T Y T R A I T S[/b] [indent]Jacob is a member of an old lineage of Pureblood Slytherins, and he certainly acts as such. He is a bright, ambitious young boy who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even if it means playing by his own rules. He isn’t afraid to use physical force and intimidation to get his way, particularly if he wants something from someone smaller and weaker than himself. This has earned him the reputation as somewhat of a bully, since at times he can just be mean to others for no reason at all, and is always flanked by other Slytherin boys in his year. Jacob is often rude to people, particularly those who he feels threatened by, but often he will make snide comments behind their backs. Quick to argue and always the first to throw a punch, he has gone through most of his life on his own terms. Jacob dislikes authority and feels that he and his fellow Pureblood Slytherins should be granted special treatment. He has a big ego, largely thanks to his upbringing, and is a very selfish person, more willing to take care of himself first and others later. That being said, he is not a coward, and will rarely back down from anything. Although Jacob is good in school and gets fairly high grades (if he puts the effort in), he is lazy and more focused on being the most popular in his house and (eventually) being the best on his Quidditch team.[/indent] [b]H O B B I E S[/b] [indent]Playing Quidditch, watching Quidditch, Wizard’s Chess, making fun of people.[/indent] [b]S K I L L S[/b] [indent]Leadership, broomstick flying, physical strength, ambitious, determined.[/indent] [b]W E A K N E S S E S[/b] [indent]Rude, belligerent, intolerant, ignorant, impatient, egotistical, selfish, hot-tempered.[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]- MAGIC & SCHOOL -[/b][/h3] [indent][b]D E T A I L S[/b] [indent]- PATRONUS: - - LINEAGE: Pureblood[/indent] [b]W A N D[/b] [indent]- WOOD: Snakewood - CORE: Dragon heartstring - LENGTH: 11 inches - FLEXIBILITY: Hard[/indent] [b]S U B J E C T S[/b] [indent]- TAKEN: Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, History of Magic, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy, Herbology and Flying - BEST SUBJECT(S): Flying, History of Magic - WORST: Herbology - FAVOURITE: Flying - LEAST FAVOURITE: Astronomy [/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]- BACKSTORY -[/b][/h3] [indent]Jacob grew up in a wealthy Pureblood wizarding household, with all members being sorted into Slytherin as far back as record go. His grandparents were big supporters of Voldemort, and his living family seem to be unbothered by it. Both of his parents work for the Ministry of Magic, his father being the Head Inquirer and his mother in the Department of Mysteries, though she’s taken time off to raise her children. He has an older brother, named David, whom he spent a lot of time with as a child, even though he was a fair bit younger than him. Jacob really looked up to his older brother, though he was not the best role model, and much of Jacob’s personality mirrors David’s. Both boys are very similar to their father, an aggressive and outspoken man, who only cares for his fellow Purebloods, and their mother is not much better. They love their two sons, but have ingrained their beliefs in them so deeply that they don’t believe anyone else’s opinion but their own to be true.[/indent] [h3][b]- OTHER -[/b][/h3] [indent]Jacob has a pet great gray owl, a male named Brutus.

He is popular among the girls for his boyish good looks, with a handsome face and glasses that he is constantly sporting. His dark brown hair is always intentionally tousled and his light skin has a healthy, slightly tanned glow from time spent outside. He does put in quite a bit of effort into his appearance, as was ingrained to him by his parents. Carter has a soft, kind smile, and his brown eyes are always bright and inquisitive, constantly searching. His nose is somewhat large and pointed, which he thinks isn’t a bad thing; it helps keep his big, round glasses stable. If he isn’t wearing his school robes, Carter is usually found in some sort of plain coloured crew-neck t-shirt or sweater and a pair of comfortable jeans.[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b]- PERSONALITY -[/b][/h3] [indent][b]P E R S O N A L I T Y T R A I T S[/b] [indent]Carter is a charismatic young boy who encapsulates the attention of anyone he talks to. People are drawn in by how likeable he is, and how easy he is to talk to. He loves meeting new people and getting to know them, and likes to have a lot of friends. Often, he is the first one his friends will go to for advice, since he is quite good at seeing the bigger picture and giving them some tips and ways that they can handle the situation. Carter is a very smart boy, and easily gets good grades, though he doesn’t try very hard to get the top marks in class – as long as he does well, he isn’t bothered. He is far more interested in the goings-on at school, and documenting these occurrences to the best of his ability. He loves writing, and his favourite subject to write about is people. Carter is fascinated by people, and dreams of one day being a lead reporter at the Daily Prophet. He is always up to date on what is going on in the world and at school, though he tends to be very secretive about what he knows until he writes it down. He never means to be malicious with this (though he can be somewhat insensitive at times) and will not report something if told that it would be very damaging to someone. Carter is a very fun person to be around, though he can be possessive and jealous at times.

Nadia has a narrow face with high cheekbones, arched eyebrows, and a straight nose that turns slightly upwards at the tip. She has large, deep-set brown eyes, which can fix you in an intimidating and fierce gaze if you end up on her bad side.

This girl is unbelievably smart – and most of her life is spent reading and learning in order to gain even more knowledge. She has been the top of her class for years, and there seems to be no subject that she is weak in. Nadia absolutely adores learning, and to her, studying is actually fun; she loves to be cooped up in her room for hours committing information to memory, and is always the first to answer a friend’s question or raise her hand in class. Because of this, she has earned herself a reputation as a know-it-all, and doesn’t have many friends, though she doesn’t seem to mind too much. The friends she does have, she adores, and is always the first to offer to help them with homework and assignments. Nadia is one of the hardest-working people you will meet, and has many ambitions that she wants to achieve. Unafraid to voice her own opinions or speak up when she feels something is wrong, she can be tricky to get along with, though she never means to hurt anyone’s feelings – she simply is expressive and stands up for what she believes in. Nadia can be a bit moody at times, and she has a very difficult time when things don’t go exactly as she had planned them.

She realized that she loved math, and read as much as she could about the properties of physics, deciding that she wanted to be an astrophysicist when she grew up. She went to Muggle school up until she received her Hogwarts letter, as her father believed it was important for her to get an early education. She has an older brother named Anthony and spent a lot of time playing with him when she was younger, though they grew apart slightly once he started school at Hogwarts.

He has a straight nose that is well-suited to his face, and ears that seem as though he hasn’t quite grown into yet. He is somewhat shorter than most boys his age, but makes up for it in athleticism – he loves to play sports, especially soccer, and can more often than not be found running around outside. Eli is not exactly a fashion icon, and when he isn’t wearing his school robes, he can be found wearing whatever he counts as clean.

Eli is happiest when he is surrounded by people, especially his friends, which he has quite a lot of!

He is a bright kid, and works hard for his grades, but is a bit absent-minded and a huge procrastinator, which can cause him some problems. To him, friendship and enjoying the school experience is more important than being at the top of the class. Sometimes, Eli can be too forgiving of people who have wronged him, which makes him susceptible to people walking all over him since he has trouble saying ‘no.’ He has such a big heart, and wants to be there for everyone, even if these people don’t have his best intentions at heart.

He eventually became obsessed with sports, and would constantly play soccer with the other boys in his neighborhood, proving to be quite talented. When he turned 11, his world turned upside down – he received his letter to Hogwarts, and his moms sat him down and explained that one of his moms was a Squib, and he had been adopted by them as his Muggle birth-parents weren’t able to raise him because he was a wizard. The Ministry of Magic swooped in and had ensured he was adopted by his moms, so that he would definitely be able to attend Hogwarts.

Saoirse is pale-skinned with lots of small freckles scattered around, though she doesn’t particularly like them. She often can be found wearing some sort of bracelet she made of flowers, or with flowers she has braided into her hair.

She is incredibly shy, and has a lot of trouble making friends because of this, and sometimes seems as though she’s living in her own little world. She doesn’t really try and make friends either, since she doesn't really mind being alone all that much. Saoirse is therefore really quiet, and tries to now draw a lot of attention to herself, spending most of her time either buried in a book, lost in thought, or off by herself practicing playing her violin. She absolutely loves music, and will spend hours reading music, listening to music, and playing music. Since she is so quiet, she tends to get along better with animals, and loves to spend time with her pet owl, Thistle. Saoirse can be somewhat absent-minded and can forget things often, so she is constantly trying to find ways to remember things better.

Despite all of this, Saoirse does enjoy school, and works very hard to achieve good grades. She is always happy to help out her fellow housemates with schoolwork if she's good at the subject, since she does want to make friends, despite being kind of weird and awkward.

She grew up in a Pureblood wizarding family that breeds owls, and has an older brother named Conall. However, her older brother was quite a few years older than Saoirse, and he tended to play with boys his own age rather than his own sister, though he did try and spend some time with her too. This, along with her being a very quiet and shy child, left her mostly spending time alone or with the family owls, living in her own little imaginary world. Sometimes her parents wonder if she's all there, as she can be so easily distracted, forgetful, and say downright strange things. During her childhood, she fell in love with reading and music.
