Argent, Tristan

Tristan Tremain Argent
Hogwarts Secrets

Alias: Tris or T
Age: 15
Date of Birth: February 19
Species: Human, so far as we can tell

Powers: Just your average young wizard with a rather inflated ego
Other Abilities: *cough* None. Don't ask him, though.

History and Personality: Tristan is the oldest child of Cledwyn and Eleanor Argent and heir to a proper family fortune of his own. The Argent family, long known in the UK as a family of proud purebloods, earned their fortune as landowners. Many of the shop spaces and flats in Diagon Alley (and its international equivalents in France and Italy) are owned by the Argent family, and they turn a tidy profit from rent. The Tremain side, his mother's family, own a large apothecary supply company. Lucky Tristan is the heir to this as well.

Cledwyn raised both his children with a firm hand and the hope that they would become responsible members of society - in theory. He was a good man who was over-involved in the world around him, leaving his wife to do most of the actual raising. When Cledwyn was home, the children were mild-mannered and interested in the outside world, but when he was away, their mother indulged them terribly out of a misguided fear that lack of a constant father was making them feel unloved. This dual-world shaped Tristan specifically, forcing him to develop a keen eye for what was expected in every social situation and the ability to fill that role. Tristan is very good at telling those in authority exactly what they want to hear. He almost always has something entirely different boiling beneath the surface, being the quiet but deadly sort of troublemaker. His upbringing definitely spoiled him, but Tristan recognizes his biases for what they are and chooses to embrace them anyway.

Known Relatives: Cledwyn Argent (Father); Eleanor Tremain Argent (mother); Adeline (sister), age 11


Height: 5'8"
Appearance: Blue eyes, Dark blond/light brown hair typically worn long, lanky build with definite signs he isn't done growing yet

RP sample:
Adeline was a pest. Sisters, as a rule, were pests, and younger sisters were a special form of unruly demon, but Adeline was working her way up to being locked in the Muggle restroom and left in King's Cross station until she was a second year. It wasn't any one thing that she was doing, Tristan decided. It was everything. It was every word she uttered and every time she touched him and MER-LIN'S PANTS if she didn't stop humming...

Someone was going to get seriously hurt.

Tristan twisted around in his seat on the top of his trunk so that his shoulders were hunched around his ears and his back was to his sister. Maybe she'd get sorted into a house that fed their young to the squid. He'd cross his fingers and toes that it was so. As the little girl skipped off to examine the train, Tris reached around in his bag, hoping to find a snack. He knew that he'd packed half the pantry in this bag, forcing the house elves to perform shrinking charms so everything fit.

His fingers had just brushed the edge of a chocolate frog when he heard a short squeal of pain. One of the ruddy second years had tripped Adeline, and she sulked on the pavement. Tristan exploded from his seat, his expression thunderous.

"Bloody Hecate, kid. I'm about to throw you under the train."

Avalon, Evelyn

Evelyn Lidia Avalon
SS - School extension

• Full Name: Evelyn Lidia Avalon
• Nickname/Aliases: Evie
• Date of Birth: October 3rd, 2048
• Hair: Blond
• Eyes: Blue-gray
• Height: 5'7"

Appearance

Evie is light of foot and seems to move to a music that no one else can hear. She is slender and pale, although she has no fear of the outdoors and no clue about sunscreen potions. Her style of dress is generally vintage and dreamy.

Personal History

Due to her gift of Sight, Evelyn Avalon has always been characterized as 'not quite right' by those around her.  Although her siblings and parents are used to her nonsensical statements and unique speech patterns, even they struggle with Evie's coping mechanism of detaching from the world around her.  In spite of her quirks, Evie is intensely loyal and loving.

As a Hufflepuff at Hogwarts, Evie was a loner.  It was only the fierce protection of her older sisters Caroline and Briony that kept Evie from becoming the victim of bullying.  Although she did not outwardly show signs that she realized she was incapable of making friends easily, Evie felt the loneliness keenly.

Her inability to connect and fit in drove her easily back to the family's business The Avalon Inn, a cozy bed and breakfast for both Muggles and Wizardingkind located in the Lake Country.  Her proficiency with numbers comes in handy, as Evie is acts as bookkeeper and works the front desk at the Inn.  She is mostly very content to help run the place with her parents and younger brother Tobias.

In recent history, Evie reunited with an old friend and equally free spirit, Tolliver Bones.  Tolliver, although occasionally disturbed by her Gift, is the most spontaneous person Evie has ever met, and she is enjoying living in the moment for the first time ever.

Bartlett, Rebecca

Rebecca Bartlett
TDS - Camp

Birthday: November 27
Age at RP start (1970): 21
Former House: Ravenclaw
Hair: Red. Very, very red
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'7"
Specialty/strengths: Poisions/antipoisons and disguise
Weaknesses: Self-defense and curses

Personality: Feisty and sometimes impetuous. Driven and ambitious. Desires to prove herself and to be seen for who she really is, especially after being seen as a body for so long. Competitive. Lonely. Who knows what she'd be like if she really had a friend who didn't leave?


Background Information: After leaving Hogwarts, Becca got a job working in Diagon Alley to earn money. She was Muggle-born and wanted to live within the Wizarding world, and she was especially interested in being in the most elite - the Aurors. First, she needed to prove she could support herself, and she did that through several odd jobs. Her life changed once Madame Malkin promoted Rebecca to model robes. It was a good paying job, but there was more public exposure than the very private Rebecca would have wanted. Ultimately, she got caught up in modeling (she moved on to Muggle modeling because it paid better) for long enough to make some big mistakes in love and professionally. She has a good sized nest egg now, and the kind of wardrobe most girls would kill for, but Rebecca doesn't want people to pay attention to her face or her figure now that she's intent on being the best Auror of all time.

Bones, Hunter

Grace Hunter Bones
MoM RPG

Hunter Bones is currently the Lifestyle section editor at the Daily Prophet. She has been employed at the Daily Prophet since 2069 and has been section editor since 2073.

Full Name: Grace Hunter Bones
DOB: August 10, 2043
Appearance:

• Hair: Auburn
• Eyes: Hazel
• Height: 5'5"

Other Details:

• Wand: 8" hawthorn wood, dragon heartstring, swishy
• House: Slytherin

Personality and Appearance

With her auburn locks, smoky hazel eyes, and brightly mischievous grin, Hunter Bones is unarguably one of the most appealing journalists in the Wizarding world. She doesn't rest on her good looks, however, and interview subjects should be wary lest they admit to too much or spark her reporters' instincts, for Hunter won't hestitate to go for the kill in order to get the story. She hates to be underestimated as a female in the business and will generally do anything to disprove whatever label she's been given. The only label she enjoys is "journalist", and she loves to live up to the best and worst stereotypes of that profession.

Hunter has a wide stubborn streak, leading her to dig in her heels every time someone tells her she can't do something. Being a Slytherin, Hunter has enormous ambitions and drive to prove her mettle. On the flip, and in her personal life, she generally cares very little about what people think of her or maintaining a good reputation, aside from her reputation in the field. Occasionally, she will come across as quirky, but really she is just self-confident and fearless.

Personal History

Hunter comes from a middle class pureblood family that is heavy on the good name (think Amelia Bones) and light on the Galleons. Due to her familial history, Hunter has a great deal of pride in her family tree, but not to the point where she felt bad about being sorted into Slytherin over Hufflepuff. While at school, Hunter was driven to attain good grades, and she entered Wizarding University immediately upon graduating in 2061. She studied Journalism as the Edinburgh campus.

Upon completion of her university degree in 2065, Hunter went to work at Teen Witch. Although happy to have a job in the field, the work itself left much to be desired: tracking fashion trends, writing for a teen demographic, and writing reviews for any number of glittery cosmetics. She was delighted to get a job with the Daily Prophet in 2069 and take on more substantial writing projects. Although she is now a section editor and managing a small group of reporters herself, Hunter's long term plans include writing books - and she is currently pursuing several ideas.

Bott, Ellsworth

Ellsworth Joy Bott
SS - School extension

Nicknames/Aliases: Ells, Ellie
Age: 22 (in 2071)
Birthday: 8 August

Hair: Dark blond, worn long in braids
Eyes: Light blue
Height: 5'6"
Physical Appearance: Ellsworth has delicate features and a peaches-and-cream complexion. She often wears glasses and a hair style of diminishing braids while in her laboratory, the less elaborate her hairstyle, the more deeply entrenched in some sort of mischief she is. Ells is slender and always looks well kept.

Personality: Being the second born in a legendary family, Ells is very proud and a bit haughty. She isn't afraid of hard work, although it typically only surfaces when she's working on one of her "experiments". She can be extremely logical when it comes to work life, but she is excellent at compartmentalizing... which means she isn't logical at all when it comes to her personal life. Ells is a complete troublemaker and has a mischievous streak a mile long. She hides it well with a dry wit and detached air.

History: Ells is not the heir to the Bott fortune, but it doesn't really bother her. She is completely a Daddy's girl, taking after her curious and eccentric father in many ways. Her life splits neatly into sections, part of her time spent in her laboratory working on new products for the Bott family business, and part of her time acting as the family representative in a variety of international committees and charities. She is one of the most internationally photographed witches, although it doesn't really appeal to her now that she receives a steady influx of fanowls that keep her from getting work done.

More to come as Ells is played more...

Callahan, Ella

Ella Renee Callahan
[Picture to come]
TDS - Gen 3

Age/Year at start of RP: 15/5th year
Class: 2029-36

Hair: Dark blonde and shoulder length. Ella usually wears it with finger waves, a scarf, or a variety of funky barrettes.
Eyes: Dark blue
Physical: Ella is a little tall for her age, but she will definitely develop her mother's willowy frame. She floats more than walks and moves like a dancer, but she isn't the least bit athletic (more's the shame, since she comes from a Quidditch heritage). Ella isn't a classic beauty, but she has a very sweetly pretty face and was well known at Beauxbatons for having a sonnet written about her perfect cupid's bow mouth.

Pet: Striped tabby cat that is mostly eyes and ears named Vincent
Wand: 8 inches, holly, unicorn hair, whippy

Background: The Callahan family spent the last two years in France while they were on limited contract with the French national league. Ella attended Beauxbatons during that time, and it helped a great deal in the formation of her personality. She is very dreamy and artistic, and she sometimes seems to live in her own world. This is a result both of her spending a lot of time alone when she was younger, as well as an active effort on Andi's part to ensure that her children didn't suffer from the same doubt and self-esteem issues that she did. Ella is very comfortable with who she is, and it is obvious that she is moving to a rhythm all her own. The Winston Seer heritage manifests itself through her artwork. She's deep in denial about it.

After two years in France, the Callahans returned home only a few weeks before term started. The reason was hushed up to avoid a newspaper scandal or gossiping. Ella does not miss France and probably doesn't want to speak much on what happened there. She has developed the slightest of accents from her time in France.

Andi and Blake play for the Hornets once again. They live in Hampstead, in the cottage their two children grew up in. Connor Callahan is a first year this term.
