Character Name: Lilianne Wesker
Character Age: 11
Wand: 9 1/2 inch Scots Pine, with a demiguise hair as the core.
Pet (if any): A hedgehog named Dinsdale.
Family History (Go into detail, if possible):
Lilianne's father, Harvey Wesker was born to a family of skilled wizards, leading to a lot of suprise and disapointment when he turned out to be a squib. Suspecting he had no magical powers, his parents sent him to pursue his magical education in Canada, at the Northern Star College of Mystical Studies, seeking to avoid too much exposition if he did turn out to be a squib. Harvey met there a muggle-born witch from Québec, Andréa Levesque, with whom he developped a close friendship as she was one of the rare students not to pick on him for struggling with magic. When he finally had to abandon magical education and returned to England where he was homeschooled instead, he kept correspondance with Andréa. His love of books and magical theory, even if he could not perform magic, made him turn to a career as a Librarian.
Meanwhile, Andréa grew up to become a chaser for the Quidditch team the Québec Clabberts. She visited Harvey often until their friendship blossomed into love and they got married. They had two daugthers 5 years apart, Isabelle and Lilianne. They live in Manchester, though Andréa's career takes her back to Canada for long periods of time.
Physical Description:
Lilianne has long, wavy golden blonde hair and dark brown eyes. She a bit taller and stockier than the average. She is rather tomboyish, dresses casually and does not pamper herself much. She does not style her hair much and just leaves it down.
Personality Description: (Go into detail, if possible)
Lilianne is a bit hyperemotive. As a young child because of how easy she would cry, she got teased a lot by other children, leading to her trying to shut herself down and hide her emotion, which would not be much effective as she'd just build up until she burst.
Since she is a black sheep, Lilianne does not make many friends. However the few friends she makes are true and she values them dearly. Not really outgoing, she spends a lot of time reading adventure books, or reading about and observing creatures, magical or not. She draws decently and likes to draw scenes from the books she reads. She enjoys watching her mom play Quidditch and can't wait to learn to fly a broom, if only to see how birds feel.
She does not get along so great with her older sister, who is more outgoing and social, and she wrongly believes her parents prefer Isabelle to her because of her success so far in Hogwarts.
Strengths:
Lilianne values her few friends above all and will do anything for them. She is studious and a quick learner, and she has a pretty wide imagination. She also has an affinity with animals.
Weaknesses:
Prone to outbursts, and tends to isolate herself. She is shy and underconfident and will rarely make the first steps towards people.
If given the opportunity - would you take part in a Quidditch team, a Book Club, a Potions group or an Afternoon Tea party?
I'd like to join the Quidditch team, but I know they won't pick me... I guess the book club would be fun...
If you found a wandering Kneazle, what would you do?
Double check in my book to make sure it really is a Kneazle and not a cat, and try to make friends with it.
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)?
My sister is in Ravenclaw, and she speaks highly of it, but I'm not sure I want to be in the same house as Miss Perfect. I suppose anything but Slytherin would do. You know what they say about Slytherins...
Please give us an example RP:
In the backyard of the Wesker's house sits a tall scots pine tree. Its lower branches hang down forming a large dome around it. For as long as she can remember, Lilianne has been using the tree as her hiding place, picturing the branches as shields protecting her from everything that made her sad.
Today Lilianne is sitting again against the pine's trunk, crying softly. Dinsdale, her hedgehog, looks up at her from her lap, sniffing the air curiously.
"Nah... I'll be okay, Din. I'm just... I'm just scared is all. I'm leaving for Hogwarts tomorow and I don't know how it's gonna be. I don't know anyone my age who's going. No, Dinah is a muggle, you know that. What if they tease me there too? I won't be able to come back here to hide..."
Dinsdale moves over to her hand and gives it a little shove with his nose, then rolls over on his back. Lilianne giggles, wiping her tears, and starts scratching his belly.
"Yeah. I know you'll be there with me. Whatever happens, I'll have you to talk to. I shouldn't cry, right? I'm gonna learn magic! I'm gonna meet other kids like me! Maybe they'll be nicer to me if they're wizards... As long as I don't blow it... What if I'm not good at magic? Dad said they'd pick on him all the time because he couldn't do magic..."
"Lilianne? Are you under that tree again?" A branch is pulled aside and Isabelle's head pokes through Lilianna's secret haven.
"I told you not to come in here!"
"Yeah, yeah, Whatever. Dad told me to come get you, supper's ready. Come on!"
Lilianne hastily finishes gathering her books, sketchpads and crayons into the box she kept hidden under her tree and picks it up under one arm, Dinsdale in the other, and she moves out to join her sister, who takes a good look at her face as she comes out of the shade and sighs loudly.
"Have you been crying again?"
"N.. No I haven't!"
"Oh, come on now Lil, you're eleven now! You're going to Hogwarts! You have to stop being such a crybaby if you want to fit in with the grown ups! When I was your age I wasn't such a baby now, I was looking forward to going to Hogwarts, not having mom and dad on my back all the time and..."
Not really listening to her sister, Lilianne starts following her back to the house. She stops midway though, and turns back to look at the tree, clutching the box holding her most precious belongings. She smiles sadly as she raises Dinsdale level with her face, and kisses him on the nose.
"Let's hope I can find another tree like this in Hogwarts... Maybe a bigger one too, I gotta admit this one was getting a bit cramped..."
Dinsdale lets out a happy squeal, and Lilianne starts back towards her house as the sun sets on her last day before the next step in her life...
