Character Name: Keladry Lindenshield
Character Age: 11
Wand: 10 3/4'' Cedar, shavings from a Unicorn's hoof core.
Pet (if any): Half-Kneazle named Tiria
Family History (Go into detail, if possible): Keladry Brianna Lindenshield was born one and a half months before her father's twenty-sixth birthday, and that day had been full of laughing and crying on everyone's part.
Kel was told once she could understand it that she was a witch, and she has spent all the time she could preparing for Hogwarts. She read all the books she could, and practiced waving sticks and cutlery like wands. She has been looking forward for her whole life to going to Hogwarts and following in her father's footsteps.
Devin (Kel's dad) and Eileen (her mom) had become very close friends at Hogwarts ever since O.W.Ls, and had slowly fallen in love, though it was hard to tell. It was a very slow transformation from friends to lovers, and they really didn't even notice it themselves. There was no courting, or teenager-ish dating. They came to realize that they would never be happy with anybody else, and they were engaged three months after Eileen's nineteenth birthday, and were married two years later on a lovely Friday in late fall.
Kel's mom and dad tried many times to have a child, even trying Muggle methods, but nothing worked. Kel was the light in her parents' inner darkness, and they love her dearly.
Physical Description: 5' 1'', just past shoulder-length brown slightly wavy, sometimes curly hair. Her eyes are green toward the outside, brown closer toward the pupil, long lashed and delicate. She has a square jaw, testimony to her rock-hard will, and feet that will take her anywhere.
Personality Description (Go into detail, if possible): Kel is a very stubborn and fair person. She is the most loyal friend you could ever have, and isn't afraid to rescue a drowning cat from white-water rapids in the coldest time of winter (which just so happens to be how she found her Kneazle, Tiria). She would do anything to protect a smaller creature from bullies or larger things. This rather large brunette stands up for the things she believes in, and won't back down from a fight.
Strengths: She refuses to back down, and she will always, always help out anybody or anything that is in trouble. She is larger than most 11 year olds, and she uses that much to her advantage. Kel is a athletic girl, but she also loves to read a good book curled in bed. She likes studying (or at least doesn't mind doing it; she loves to learn new things), and enjoys every class she takes.
Weaknesses: Kel is actually quite lazy when it comes to chores, and she also has a sharp temper and tongue. Kel has been known to lose control of her temper and lash some poor little kid just because she's frustrated. She has tried very hard to get her temper under control, however, and she is slowly getting better and better at not blowing up and at keeping her emotions under control. Part of this attempt is two-way journals that she and her mother have, which enable them to write on one page of one of them, and have it appear on the same page in the other. They communicate to each other quite frequently, and Kel and her mother have formed more of a bond from this letter-writing than from all of the mother-daughter trips they could ever take.
If given the opportunity - would you take part in a Quidditch team, a Book Club, a Potions group or an Afternoon Tea party? It's a hard decision, but of the Potions group and the Book Club, I'd have to say the Book Club.
If you found a wandering Kneazle, what would you do? Take it in, of course. I already have.
What House would you like to be placed in (This is to be taken into consideration, though the Hat will ultimately make the final decision)? Hufflepuff, like dad, of course!
Why would you like to be in this student group and not the others? Because Hufflepuffs are loyal and true. In my opinion, so am I. I suppose I could possibly be in Ravenclaw or maybe Gryffindor, too, but I think Hufflepuff is the best fit for me.
Please give us an example RP:
Kel started, hearing rattling and clanking coming from upstairs, and then Benny fell down the stairs and she became very frightened. She didn't know what was up there, but she also didn't really want to know. She knew that it was impossible for Benny to have fallen down the stairs of his own accord, but she told herself it was just Tiria prowling around.
She got up and went to the stairs, tripping over the purple-eyed black cat on the way. 'Well, that rules Tiria out. I wonder what could be up there?' Kel thought to herself, shivering slightly.
"Hey, um, I wonder if someone shouldn't go get Professor Murray. I don't think there's supposed to be anyone up there." Kel said to her fellow students. She thought someone should go up there, so she grabbed the heavy book she had been reading a few hours ago before she had gone to bed off a chair, and slowly approached the stairs leading to the girls' dormitory. Silently, she crept up the stairs, stopping in her tracks when the stairs creaked under her bare feet.
