Zoe, who is of Jamaican heritage, was born on January 1st as the third and final daughter of two upper-middle class parents Clarice and Terrance. The Campbell household consisted of Zoe, her parents, her two older sisters, and their pet dog. They lived in a moderate sized, two bedroom apartment in Atlanta; Zoe having had to share a bedroom with her sisters until they went off to college. Zoe's parents, by nature, were very strict. From early childhood they urged their children to excel academically and athletically, also encouraging them to be discerning in regards to the company they keep. Although her parents were very stern, there was also another side to them. They were fun loving and very involved in all phases of their children’s lives.

However, when Zoe was thirteen years old, her parents were killed in a car accident. As a result, Zoe had to move out of Atlanta and into the home of her Aunt and Uncle. They continued to raise her as if she were their own, pushing her to strive academically and, much to Zoe's dismay, athletically. She was expected to do chores, such as; making her bed, setting the dinner table, making a beverage for dinner or washing the dinner plates. During the week when school was in session she was not allowed to watch television or cavort around town. As a rule, her Aunt and Uncle did not condone her idly “hanging-out”. They'd made her participate in many sports including basketball, volleyball, and tennis before she finally convinced them to let her focus solely on her schoolwork instead. In result, she managed to maintain an A average. As she got older, she was allowed more freedom; she could go out on school nights as long as she was back by 10 PM, and she was allowed a few (concealable) tattoos and piercings.

Ebony is a short girl, standing at just five feet, three inches tall. She has acne-free, caramel-colored skin and straight, perfectly white teeth. She is rarely seen without a smile. Her natural brown hair, when straightened, falls to the top of her waist. When curly, however, it goes a little over shoulder length, neatly coiffuring to reveal a heart shaped face. In a way this made her more beautiful, as the deep brown hair compliments her almond shaped eyes which are of a similar shade. Her eyes are without doubt the most captivating aspect of her appearance, reflecting a look of wisdom far beyond her age that could not help but draw people in. There are a few freckles spread charmingly across her cheeks and forehead, which she tends to cover up with foundation. Like her mother, she has a curvy figure, and weighs in at about a hundred and sixty pounds. She speaks with a soft New York accent, and she often uses slang like "Son" and "Wavy" in her speech.

Though very beautiful, her grace, the way she carries herself, her attitude, and her enthusiasm all take precedence over her individual physical attributes. Everyday, Ebony puts great effort in her appearance, her shirt is always crisp, her skirt is at a modest length, and not a thread is out of place. However, she loves to accessorize in any way possible, wanting to make the uniform her own. You'd usually see her with large hooped earrings, two or three rings on both her ring and pointer fingers, and a black or white headband. When not wearing her uniform, you can expect to see her in a pair of jeans, a cute blouse, and sneakers.

Taking after her mother, Ebony tends to wake up earlier than most in order to perfect her hair and makeup. Unlike a lot of the other girls, Ebony prefers to wear a face full of makeup, no matter the occasion. It first started out as a way for her to cover her imperfections, but eventually turned into a genuine love and appreciation for cosmetics. Her nails are painted a different color every few days; she repaints them all if only one of them chips.

P E R S O N A L I T Y:

Ebony is a seemingly calm and quiet girl, yet is by no means a pushover. She can more than take care of herself, but is smart enough to know when to pick a fight and when to let something go. She likes to see the good in life, and always wants to find better ways to handle problems. Ebony has always been a carefree girl; she believes that life is too short to dwell on mistakes or mishaps. She is someone who isn't weighed down by the troubles of everyday life, is not restricted by other people's opinions, and is always herself regardless of the situation. She is a cheery young woman, and is rarely found without a smile on her face or enthusiasm dripping from her words. She craves adventure, thrills, and new things. She strives to have a happy and enjoyable life and wants the same for those she holds dear.

Having grown up with a large number of male friends and cousins, Ebony considers herself to be a bit of a "Tomboy." When going to the park, for instance, she'd rather get sticky and sweaty by playing a sport of some sort than "tan" with her girlfriends. Strangely enough, she prefers to keep to herself and stay quiet. When in a confident mood, however, she can be very charismatic and outgoing. She can be competitive, but will never come off as arrogant. Once you get to know her, you see that she is a very humble, caring, intelligent, and trustworthy individual. She has a past, along with a few quirks, as does every other human being, but makes up for them by being an overall fun and generally happy person to be around.

Ebony is confident in herself and her actions, often to a fault. She is very opinionated, has trouble asking for help, and hates admitting when she's wrong. When things don't go as she planned or in a positive direction, she can get frustrated very easily. Though very smart, she has a hard time paying attention in her classes, and is usually caught daydreaming when she should be working. Ebony has a bit of a "potty mouth," and uses profanity even when she isn't trying to. She has a bit of trouble controlling her temper, and whenever someone pushes her to her limit, she'll snap; it will often result in her yelling a large number of obscene words, throwing objects, and even going as far as to get physical.

R O M A N T I C I N T E R E S T S:

Ebony considers herself to be Bisexual, but knows that she leans more towards girls. She'll date anyone, however, who likes to have a good time. Although having had many significant others in the past, Ebony has never had her heart broken, nor has she ever been in love. Being the big flirt that she is, she's more prone to having a fling than an actual committed relationship. Her longest relationship lasted for seven months, but she broke things off when the guy gave her a promise ring on Christmas eve.

Every "relationship" she's been in, she was always the one to break things off. When things get tough she tends to run, not wanting to have to deal with the "drama," as she puts it. "They're either too clingy, too distant, or just not my type of person."

Her idea of a partner is someone who she can simply "vibe" with, someone who can understand and accept her rather than try to change her. She is definitely open to meeting new people, but isn't sure whether or not it would last very long.

B A C K G R O U N D:

Ebony was born in Brooklyn, New York to Tanya Barnes, a pure-blood, black woman from Florida, and Elijah Jones, a Mexican-American muggle who'd been born and raised Brooklyn, New York. They met on a cruise ship when they were just twenty years old, and instantly fell in love. Elijah had never even known that magic existed until he got to know Tanya, and after a long, steady relationship together, they married. Tanya's family, to say the least, were not pleased; they were angry at her for breaking the "pure" chain and allowing a muggle into the blood line. They were even more displeased when they heard that he'd impregnated her. Once Ebony was born just a few months later, Tanya's family cut all ties with her, thoroughly disappointed in their little girl.

Despite her unsupportive family, Tanya and Elijah did their best to raise their child well. Elijah's mother and father welcomed Tanya and Ebony with open arms, eager to get to know the newest members of their family. Her mother got a job as a cosmetologist, and her father continued his work in the medical field. She grew up as an ordinary child; She took the subway to and from school every weekday, attended church with her father on Sundays, and made a few friends along the way. Growing up in a semi-ghetto neighborhood, she's had to deal with a lot. She's witnessed random kids in the streets who would throw things, strangers getting mugged on subways, the occasional sound of gun shots outside of the elementary school, and even seeing people become loud, drunk and violent. Ebony grew up without any knowledge of the wizard world, her parents choosing to ignore that part of her completely. Part of them even wanted to believe that she was born without powers, which would make things a great deal easier. Unfortunately, they were not so lucky.

Ebony has had a number of incidents which, at the time, didn't make much sense to her. It was always something small; items would end up disappearing from around the house and reappearing in strange places weeks later. They were forced to tell her who she really was, however, when she was ten years old. She'd gotten into a heated argument with her mother, which eventually led to a glass cup full of sweet tea flying across the room and towards her mother's face. She ducked out of the way, thankfully, but had much explaining to do. Unfortunately, however, a year later, her father was killed in a car accident, leaving her and her mother alone.

When it came time to go to Salem Witch's Institute, Ebony was overjoyed at the idea of learning more about herself and where her mother comes from. Over her time at Salem, Ebony has proved herself to be a capable witch. She's learned much about this new and exciting world, and even gained a few friends along the way. She'd even tried to track down her mother's side of the family, but never could find them. Ever since her father's death, she feels as though a piece of her is missing, and will do absolutely anything to feel whole again.

The Clarice Curse

AP Physics was by far the most challenging class that Zoe had ever taken, but she loved the challenge. Much to the girl's relief, it was the last period of the school day. She sat at her usual seat in the back of the classroom, perfectly erect, with her pencil in hand and eyes on the board. However, as her eyes and hands did all of the work, taking a page full notes from the slideshow, she just couldn't prevent her mind from wandering elsewhere. Only a few minutes seemed to go by before the final bell rang, and the sound of chairs scratching the floor snapped her out of her trance. Looking down at her notebook, she saw that the page had been filled with neat numbers and letters, all written in blue ink.

After quickly shoving her things into her bag, Zoe hurried out of the classroom and towards her locker to retrieve her jacket and car keys. It was about six minutes after three when she entered the club room. She'd arrived a bit early, expecting to be one of the first there, but she was very surprised when she saw that the room had already been occupied by three others. Taking a quick look around, Zoe saw two boys, one seated and the other placing gadgets onto a table, and a red-head girl who was drawing in her notebook.

"I'm not late, am I?" Zoe said nervously, glancing at the time on her cell phone before making her way to an empty seat. She carefully sat her bag on the floor next to her, laying her jacket over top of it before directing her gaze to the technology on the table.
