Hye-Jin had passed through into the platform just as the announcements were being called, tailed by two older asian men who stopped her to say a few things in Chinese. The girl quietly replied to them and they seemed to accept the response before the two vanished off without creating too much of a scene, which was followed by a sigh of relief from the girl as she was finally alone. Well, as alone as one can be on this packed platform. She turned around and realising she was close to late hurried along her bags following after her one of them narrowly missing what looked like a first year being nervous about leaving their parents behind to get on this large train.
She was able to get someone's attention quickly enough to get her bags loaded, although anyone nearby could hear a slight scolding from the man for her using magic to make the bags deliver themselves so openly even though they were at the platform now. She didn't snap back though, just nodding and speaking a quiet apology before picking her owls cage out of the air to take as well as putting her backpack on her back. The situation cleared, she quickly moved to jump onto the first carriage that wasn't blocked at the doorway by excited chatting kids, which was further down from the main train.
The girl pulled her hood over her head once the doors closed and looked down the carriage as the people clamouring for an open space. She'd hoped to arrive earlier and get a seat to herself, but that would be impossible now. Taking a small breath she lifted her head and started strolling through, peeking through carriage windows as she did so, hoping for one at least partly empty or having someone she knew in already.
-Full name: Hye-Jin Choe (written as Choe Hye-Jin, Hye-Jin is given name). Has accepted people calling her 'Chloe' as its easier to say -House: Slytherin -Nationality: Korean -Wand Wood and wand core: Red oak wood with a Dragon heartstring core. The handle has blackened slightly, which cannot be cleaned off -Favorite class: Defense against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures (a secret love) -Patronus: Oriental Dragon
Hye-Jin's relationship with other students started off extremely frosty and she made more enemies than friends, however over time she started to warm to others and by the end of her time as a sixth-year she seemed to have finally accepted both her place and the school.
-Pet (one): Large northern Hawk Owl -Biography: Hye-Jin is a transfer student that moved to Hogwarts three years ago as part of an agreement between Hogwarts and The Fenghuang school of Witches and Wizards to help rebuild relations that had started becoming more sour, with a concern that the Chinese wizarding world (which had a heavy influence over many of the east ascian schools and bodies) was beginning to make itself more secretive again. She arrived with what can only be described as a massive chip on her shoulder. Being from a noble pure blooded Korean family with a long wizarding history, she felt insulted that she had to be sent to what she felt was an inferior school compared to the previous school (despite it being her parents idea with the legacy that Hogwarts had) and being singled out (despite a handful of students being picked), and she couldn't even speak English at the time relying entirely on a necklace given to her by her parents to translate. This attitude alienated her from others almost immediately, not helped by the fact her wandcraft was at an extremely high level for one so young not to mention her aptitude for wandless magic (which was picked up from an early age then honed in advanced classes at Fenghuang) which was not taught at Hogwarts which she had initially used to prove she was better than others.
By the end of her initial year at Hogwarts she had top marks across nearly every class, and the ones she was close to failing she refused help and managed to just scrape by, albeit with a concerned note from teachers as while her wandcraft was incredible her broomcraft (which despite being optional as she wasn't a first year she was enrolled into) was dangerously poor and her disinterest in herbology got her in trouble frequently. In her second year though she started to thaw a little. Whether this was due to being taken to a side and told firmly to shape up, her parents disciplining her for the appearance she gave of her home and previous school with her actions or simply seeing that there were students at Hogwarts that weren't beneath her nobody can say for sure. However, she also wasn't relying on her necklace for translating quite as often having now learnt english well enough to community properly which helped make her seem less robotic, and she became slowly more approachable especially from people who seemed to take an interest in the many magical creatures. A class she thrived in, and secretly adored even though she would never admit it (but it was obvious to anyone that watched her around said creatures for any amount of time).
Her aptitude for brooms still did not improve however, and after her second full year had finished she enrolled on the advanced Apparition class over the winter, again proving a natural to this as she did with any form of spellcraft. Once she finished this course, despite being advised otherwise, she dropped her broom lessons calling them 'archaic' and unnecessary in the 21st century.
Chloe (as people have taken to calling her now shes become at least approachable if not friendly to others) is an average height girl with a normally direct way of speaking. She acts proud and will often say what she thinks, but those who have gotten to know her have learnt its from a place of heavy expectation placed on her by parents. When she is nervous she's prone to playing with her necklace, especially if it's something she doesn't understand, but her love of animals shines through whenever she's around them. However, the girl returns for her final year oddly reserved and nervous after a magic related incident over the school break that isn't being reported in detail due to lack of information but caused the death of both of her parents. The only thing teachers in Hogwarts are being told is to 'keep an eye on her', but it is rumoured that the headmaster is aware of the incident and some Aurors from the UK have been dispatched to Korea to assist in whatever happened. It's impossible to not notice the physical change though, with her previously pure black hair now seemingly stained white in parts.
And done! With some fun little plotholes for the GM to play with if they want. Let me know if you want anything changed or any more information!

Emily hadn't expected the boy to approach him! She straightened up a little, taking a few moments before answering.
"Liam" she said quietly to herself, before smiling.
"Hi um...Liam. Yeah, been a long while" she looked around a few times before talking again "um well, not a long long time. But like a few weeks? I'm not doing anything wrong, I promise. Festivals are kind of... nice for everyone, and well for people like me someone might be kind enough to...you know. Buy me some food."
She kept looking around every minute or so. Sometimes even with a frown.
Parades were a rare time when people would be more generous to those who were suffering and homeless. Unless they were trying to make it obvious they were doing so, in which case it was a more painful time filled with abuse. Emily, thankfully, wasn't the begging type. With her new friends (or at least friends of the other her that also accepted her) that did little things to help her, she could at least not be homeless all the time.
Still, today felt different. She felt odd, like there was an itch she couldn't scratch. She pulled her yellow coat around her tighter, and moved through the crowd, looking around her. Eventually, she caught sight of someone she knew, and gravitated towards Liam (@Spectral) but didn't directly approach. He was normal after all, and even if she'd been able to have a shower and get something newish to wear she was still a homeless girl, and didn't want to make it look like she was harassing someone. Her kind often got arrested for that....usually on purpose to have a bed for the night, but Emily didn't want to do that.
