NameAmaia "Amy" Rock Age11 BirthdayJune 13 HouseSlytherin YearFirst AppearanceAmy is of African descent, with dark skin and curly soft black hair and brown eyes. She is very thin, commonly mistaken as anorexic - but it was because she was a premature baby. She is a little shorter than her older sister and will probably outgrow her in a few years. PastAmy was adopted by Antonia's family when she was two years old, and she went on to live in Germany (Berlin, Munich, Dresden) and Holland. She has no magical blood in her at all, but the African tribal rituals practiced by the people in Africa she lived around for the first two years of her life must have rubbed off on her. She first exhibited magical talent when she levatated a book of English phrases when she was 6. She loves her older sister very much even though she was adopted but sometimes wishes she wasn't so obviously different. PersonalityAmaia likes to go by Amy, and she is a normally quiet but vain person. Even with her friends she isn't very outspoken. She likes to observe people's behaviors and analyze their personalities, which she usually translates into her palm readings or Tarot cards (which she is pretty good at). Even though Amy is quiet, she is very haughty and sometimes finds herself thinking she is better than everyone else or judging them. It may seem on the outside that her silence is because Amy has a lot of bottled up anger or something. She likes to run just like her sister, and she gets along with Antonia quite well. Maybe because of her sister's mood swings she is very level headed but is prone to over-thinking things. The Sorting Hat had a hard time placing her because of her scattered personality traits, but ended up putting her in Slytherin because of her vain nature. Wand10'', unicorn hair, Hawthorn, semi-flexible. Pet(s)She has a small brown mouse named Pansy.

NameRichard Aurelius Tracy Age16 (going on seventeen) BirthdayDecember 21 HouseGryffindor YearSixth AppearanceConsidered very, very good-looking by other students. He's tall, dark, and handsome, at 6'1, with artfully ruffled black hair (the kind that looks like he's just gotten off a windblown broomstick, but that he's actually spent half an hour carefully crafting) and rougish good looks that even Slytherin girls have admitted are frightfully attractive. He has a cheerful, devil-may-care grin that makes teenage girls melt and is actually capable of pulling off the Dreamworks Face in real life (see the trope for details on what that is, it's the face with the lopsided smirk and the quirky eyebrows). PastRichard comes from a pureblood family, a fairly well-established one. However, they try not to feel too superior to muggles, although they are rather clueless of the muggle world. His mother runs a custom-made hat-pin company (people send her requests and she makes hat pins for them. They usually move.), and his father works in the Department of Magical Sports and Games. Richard was introduced to Quidditch at a fairly young age, and he adored it. He supports the Montrose Magpies (which his father played Chaser for in his youth), the most successful team in the British and Irish League. His mother was a Ravenclaw, but his father was a Gryffindor, and very proud of it. Young Richard fell into his father's family's tradition of having their sons in Gryffindor, as well as of being excellent Quidditch players. Despite his good looks, he's had very few serious girlfriends; he dated a seventh year when he was in fourth year and then started going out with Jean Chapney, his fellow prefect, in fifth year. Prior to their going out, they tended to argue a great deal (all right, they still argue a big deal), nevertheless, the House was not surprised at all when they hooked up around Christmas. PersonalityRichard is a fairly pleasant person; he's actually very cheerful and has the kind of rougish manner that girls love. However, he's also proud and vain of his Quidditch ability and looks. He is a bit resentful of not being Quidditch captain, but believes that the teachers chose not to make him captain because of his Prefect duties. Actually, Professor Marchand chose to make Guilder Rosencrantz captain over Richard in Guilder's sixth year not because Richard was becoming a Prefect, but because Marchand thought that Richard was too vain of his own skills as a seeker to be a good captain. However, Richard is very loyal to his house and will fiercely defend any of his fellow Gryffindors from bullies from any of the other houses, although he might tease other students himself. Especially if you are a Slytherin (Richard is definitely not willing to let this rivalry lie), do not hurt a Gryffindor, because Richard Tracy will found out about it, and he will find you. WandRowan and Unicorn Tail Hair, 14-and-a-half inches. Pet(s)Has a Great Horned Owl named Nightwing. This, along with his own name (he's Dick Tracy!) leads to many geekier muggle-borns finding Richard greatly amusing, at least until he finds out about it and glowers at them. While Richard's glower is not too harmful by itself, the combined glowers of the troupe of second, third, and fourth-year girls that follows him around are a force to be reckoned with.

NameKenna Rose Smih Age14 BirthdayDecember 16, 1997? HouseGryffindor Year4th AppearanceTaller than average, red hair always put in a high ponytail (it gets really messy otherwise) and grey eyes. She is very athletic, but gets cold very easily. Her skin is a little tan. She always wears a scarf because the corridors are so cold. PastKenna was born in Scotland, she was named Kenna because right when she was born she looked as if she was "glowing". (Not true however but they liked the name) when she turned 8 her uncle died they took over his house in Sunderland which is pretty far north in Europe. His Uncle was a muggle, and to keep wizard things under wraps they decided to act like muggles. Her mother took a job as a banker of a muggle bank and her father started a store for shoes. They rarely used magic and when they did it was only for emergencies. However Kenna was extremlly opposite of what they wanted, she practiced in her room quietly but most often Kenna set something on fire. When Kenna got her letter of acceptince there parents were grateful to get rid of trouble but also very sad. PersonalityShe is very calm at times, but then other times extremlly crazy. She stands her ground all the time and protects her friends dearly. She loves getting in trouble and loves using her fire spells. When she is calm it is very scary because it is not her nature at all, she is usually super calm when she is mad but then she blasts a fireball at the mean person very quickly. She tries to do every sport and be better than everyone. Which makes people hate her in sports however gradewise she is averge and is alright with Bs and Cs. Wand10 inches, redwood, phoenix feather Pet(s)Rusty orange cat named Flare

NameEllen Foster Bridgewater Age11 Birthday4/24 HouseRavenclaw YearFirst AppearanceShe has bright red hair, usually put back in two braids. Her eyes are bright green, and she has a huge smile (it actually looks kind of like the Cheshire Cat's) that can very easily become a frown, especially if Will's teasing her. Her nose, like Will's, turns up at the end, and she looks similarly impish. She's almost sticklike and looks rather frail, but she's got a slightly crazed look in her eyes to make up for it. PastHer family, of course, is the same as Will's, as she's his sister. She devoured books on history - for some reason, American. When she was young, she loved to run around the backyard and act out famous scenes from American history - Washington crossing the Delaware, the Gettysburg Address, the sinking of the Titanic and the Lusitania, etc. - and in fact, her powers first started manifesting when her mother came home one day to find that the living room had turned into a river, and Ellie was in a canoe, toting a baby and leading two rather bemused looking explorers wearing fur caps. Following this incident, Ellie learned to make her imaginings less ... substantial, and her powers made reading even more enjoyable. The sorting hat heavily wanted to put her in Gryffindor (Ellie pretty much defines spunk, with a good dose of pigheaded bravery and loyalty thrown in), but she had a pretty negative perception of Gryffindor, thinking of them as a bunch of pugnacious loudmouths. The sorting had could have pointed out that Ellie would probably fit right in, but eventually put her in Ravenclaw, as she definitely had the smarts for it and Ravenclaw was where Ellie herself wanted to go. PersonalityAs you may have been able to tell, Ellie is very ... loud. She's usually cheerful and hyper, but she can turn annoyed very easily. She hates bullies, and will start yelling at someone a good two feet taller than her (Ellie is only 4'6''). She loves wearing bright shades of orange, yellow, and red, but point out to her that those are Gryffindor colors and she'll bite your head off. She is also extremely loyal to her friends and family - she won't hesitate to jinx Will, or more likely whack him over the head with a nearby object, but anyone else who dares to bully him will likely find themselves on the receiving end of a jelly-legs jinx. She really would make an excellent Gryffindor, in many ways, but she had always wanted to be in Ravenclaw because "that's where all the smart people are." (The way she sees it: Ravenclaw is the best house because that's where all the smart people are. Gryffindor is for evolutionary throwbacks (AKA neanderthals). Slytherin is for people who are too stupid to be successful and smart at the same time and try to make up for it by being slimy and gross. And Hufflepuffs are either way too nice and kind of creepy or really lame and only in there because no one else wants them.") WandApple and dragon heartstring, 7-and-a-quarter inches. Pet(s)She once had a rat which Will had persuaded her to name Yorick. ("C'mon! Look at that grin! Doesn't he look like a Yorick?") but which died (Will: "Alas, poor Yorick ... I knew him, Horatio-" WHACK). She decided to stay away from rats after that and instead keeps a raven named Septimus.

NameMatilda "Mattie" Harriet Judiths Age15 BirthdaySeptember 13 HouseSlytherin YearFour AppearanceMattie is tall (5'10) and has very short, curly auburn hair that's usually quite messy, the type of hair that you can never manage to make neat. Her eyes are brown with long eyelashes, and she's got pleasant freckles and naturally red lips. She dresses like a boy, but definitely looks like a girl. PastShe was born in Dublin Ireland, but was given up for adoption soon after. Her birth mom was a muggle-born witch, but she doesn't know that. At the age of four, a wizard named Brandon Judiths decided to adopt her because he'd always wanted a daughter and had only ever had sons: four of them. (And the fact that he liked the name Matilda and that she was turning blades of grass orange.) She lived with them in London, grew out of her Irish accent, and became very boyish for hanging out with her older brothers and dad all the time. However, when she was eight years old, her father died of cancer and she and her brothers went to live with their grandmother. Unfortunately, her grandmother wasn't actually very suitable for taking care of a bunch of teenage boys and their little sister, especially when they were all prone to getting into trouble. Her oldest brothers fell away drug to abuse, while Mattie and her youngest older brother became part of a gang of children that liked to steal things and play nasty tricks. This hard childhood is probably what lead her to become one of the school bullies. Her brother graduated from Hogwarts last year, and was the previous Quidditch captain. PersonalityMattie is loud and fearless, cheerful (most of the time) and good at kidding around. She's pretty mean-spirited, though, and enjoys teasing her juniors and giving wedgies and all that. She'll take a naughty dare every time, like sneaking into the trophy room at night and stealing one of the treasures. She's not very friendly to any of the other houses, and not many people really like her. However, she does have one very good friend, to which she is very loyal to. They're some of the best friends you'll ever know, but not with you. With her friend, though, she's friendly and funny. Don't get this girl in a bad mood, though, she'll get pretty destructive. Wand14 inches, hawthorn, phoenix feather Pet(s)A cat named Yvonne, but which she calls Bonnie.

NameClara Camilla Venning Age14 BirthdayJuly 25 HouseSlytherin YearFour AppearanceIsn't she pretty??? Kind of angelic with her lovely light blonde hair, big blue eyes, and sweet pale face. There's a rumor that she's part veela, but that actually isn't true. She's just... very very pretty. Even some of the Gryffindor boys have weaknesses for her looks. (Kind of like Richard, I know, but I suppose they're the pretty people of the school. xD I've gotta stop saying pretty.) PastShe grew up in the "good" part of London to a fairly rich magical family of purebloods, was an only child, yadayadayada. Her parents taught her to look down on muggles and muggle-borns and the like, and be proud of her pure-blood status. You know, classic Slytherin pure-blood family. But one day, when she was about eight years old, Clara caught a group of kids in their kitchen in the middle of the night, stealing their silverware. Clara promised not to turn them in as long as they made her a part of their gang. They agreed, and she quickly became best friends with the other eight-year-old, Mattie Judiths, and together they seemed (to themselves, at least) unstoppable. Actually, they both didn't discover each other's wizarding heritage until they found each other at Platform 9 3/4. Together, they continued their antics at the school.... PersonalityBelieve it or not, but she's not vain of her beauty! In fact, she rarely thinks of it. But despite her angelic looks, she's quite the devious little thing. She doesn't think of others very pleasantly at all, though she feigns politeness all the time. Always pulling elegant little pranks of her own to drive others crazy, she'll often think up the most atrocious plans that she and Mattie will carry out together. Both of them don't think very highly of people with tainted blood, but Clara seems to have some special disdain for them. Still, she displays all of these villainous traits so eloquently that it's often untraceable by some, especially the teachers (of course). She's a curious girl as well, which is why she investigated the kitchen that night she met Mattie, resourceful, imaginative, confident, quiet, and not afraid to seek adventure. Unfortunately, she doesn't feel inclined to use these skills for good. She's very good at Divination and DADA. Wand11 1/2, ash, phoenix feather Pet(s)A goldfish named Algernon, nicknamed Algae.

NameColin Marco Gideon Age14 BirthdayFebruary 12 HouseRavenclaw YearFour AppearanceColin is quite chubby. Not really fat, but the kind of chubby that makes him look as if he stays warm easily. And what he has in chubbiness he balances out in height. His face is adorned with freckles, and he has short black hair. He's 5'11" with brown eyes. PastColin grew up in the muggle world, and his father was a huge comic nut. Because of this his father was constantly shoving every battle of epic proportions between superhero and archnemesis he could find right in Colin's face. His mother decided it was her job to balance out his knowledge of boyish comics with knowledge of cooking, so she constantly shoved every battle of epic proportions between chef and unmade dinner she could find right in Colin's face. Because of this, Colin often found comfort in books and novels he picked out himself that he could read at his own pace, and acquired quite a bit of knowledge over the years. He started showing magical tendencies at the age of 8, which worried his parents at first, but still they consented to his journey to Hogwarts. PersonalityColin is a bit on the wonky side. He's quiet and awkward but likes to have a good time with the friends he has. He's very...large, so he's not very good at sports, and prefers things like herbology and potions since they're similar to the things his mother taught him when he was little. He's very sweet to people he likes, and people he dislikes he tends to try to avoid instead of confront. If pushed to confrontation though, he can be pretty scary. WandOak, 12 inches, Dragon heartstring Pet(s)Toad named Gregor

NameCarmina Luz Hernandez Age12 BirthdayJanuary 26 HouseGryffindor YearSecond AppearanceCarmina has dark skin, with thick shiny black hair that shines red in the sunlight. Her eyes are downturned and so dark brown that they seem like they are one with her pupils - almost black. Her face is round and soft looking, and she has a few freckles on her nose. She is of an average height for a 12 year old kid. PastCarmina has Mexican roots and she has lived in the Muggle world all her life. Both her parents are talented musicians, both with jobs at the London Philharmonic. They expected her to play an instrument all her life so Carmina took up the oboe, and she's quite good at it (when she practices). She discovered her magical talent when she was at an oboe lesson and she was playing a rather long, fast piece with multiple pages, and when she got to the end of the last measure at the bottom of the page, the page flipped on its own. Her parents were utterly surprised, but not shocked - Carmina's grandmother had been a witch as well. When Carmina got her Hogwarts letter, her parents reluctantly agreed to let her go but on breaks she is always travelling back to her home in Bristol, UK. PersonalityCarmina is hardworking and dedicated just like her parents. She has a good idea of what's right and wrong, and will stand up against what she thinks is wrong. Aside from learning wizardry, she practices her beloved oboe and she can sometimes be heard in the Gryffindor Common Room practicing. She's pround of her Mexican heritage, and likes lacy things. She is obsessed with grades and studies a lot, but it frustrates her that her grades never go up no matter how much she tries! Her freinds think she can sometimes be a bit too serious and stressful about schoolwork. The Sorting Hat had a troublesome time deciding whether to put her in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. Carmina tries to be freindly to everyone, but sometimes those Slytherins just get too full of themselves and she finds herself quietly snapping at them to hush their mouths. WandPhoenix tail feather, cherry, 11 inches. Pet(s)She used to have a cat named Jorge, but then it died, so she got a toad that she named Kermit.

NameMicah Daniel Daniels Age15 BirthdaySeptember 5 HouseSlytherin YearFifth AppearanceMicah is very very pale - with mousy brown hair he gels a little bit, and sideburns. He takes pride in his sideburns. He's a little tall and skinny, and wears dark clothing and always is hiding his headphones in the hood of his robe. He has dark circles around his eyes from too much late-night music listening and bass strumming (which highly annoys his bunkmates). PastMicah came from London, but his favorite place is Austin, Texas because just about everyone is a hipster there. He doesn't tell people about his past or himself for that matter because his policy is that the less you tell people, the more mysterious and therefore cool you seem. His parents are divorced and he lived alone with his mom most of the time. She is a freelance artist who gets jobs painting murals and is trying to teach herself astrology. Micah's dad, on the other hand, works at the Ministry of Magic and works too much and wears too many suits and is annoying (in Micah's opinion). Both Micah's parents are wizards, but his stepdad isn't which annoys him. And he only goes to Hogwarts because his parents were Slytherins and so he can get away from them. He doesn't like it. He would rather play in a band. PersonalityMicah fits the "hipster" stereotype to the T. He obsesses over obscure bands, goes out of his way to purchase too-expensive, cheap looking clothing, or cheap clothing from thrift stores. He thinks he's better than everyone else and likes to rub it in their faces. Plus he is vegan because it's cool and animal cruelty isn't. He comes off as mysterious and strange, which is only half-true, because he tries to put on a mysterious air by rarely talking and wearing dark clothing and scoffing about silly things, and ends up looking strange. He has a small group of freinds who like Divination class and Potions. Micah wants to be a photographer and a bass player when he gets out of stupid old Hogwarts, which was better before all these minority students and mudbloods started coming here and messing everything up. He also liked that band before they got popular. And he likes your skinny jeans. WandDragon heartstring, pine, 13 inches. Pet(s)He has a barn owl named Greg.

Note: should have darker hair. NameEmily Christine Bloemquist Age14 BirthdayOctober 14 HouseRavenclaw YearFourth AppearancePretty, and knows it. Dark brown softly curling hair that goes a little past her shoulders, large dark blue eyes, pale complexion. She's slender and pretty tall at 5'7. She looks aristocratic, like an old-fashioned English girl who stays out of the sun to preserve her complexion and does needlework. PastCame from a rather wealthy muggle family. She had always gone to private schools and had been rather spoiled as a child; however, she never had any close friends, mainly because she considered herself better than most anyone she met. Because of this, she mostly spent her time with books, and is very fond of Austen. She began showing signs of magic while she was eight, but in small ways like fixing small mistakes she had made, making her flowers thrive beautifully, and lending a certain ... realness to her paintings. When her letter came, her parents were surprised, but proud. They expect her to be one of the top students at Hogwarts. She plays the flute. PersonalityShe's not exactly cold, but she's quite standoffish, and likes to look down on others. She's snooty and considers herself a bit better bred than she actually is, but she's really not that bad a person - she does take pity on people and help them out sometimes, and if she respects you (i.e. you prove yourself very intelligent/polite, but mostly the former), then she is much more likely to want to be your friend. Her arrogance would probably have been enough to land her in Slytherin, but her pride in her muggle heritage (she thinks wizards are a little loony) probably kept her out. She also didn't want to go there in the first place, as she took an extreme dislike to Clara Venning on the train and, once she found out that Clara planned to be in Slytherin, swore to herself that she would never end up in that house. WandElm and unicorn tail hair, 10 inches exactly. Pet(s)She has a dark little tortoiseshell kitty named Sherlock, after the detective - whom she very much admires.
