Character Name: Madame Minka Davinmir
Character Age: 43
Wand: 14”, rigid, apricot wood with a mercury core. Made by Gregorovitch about 25 years ago.
Pet : A marten named Ekkehart.
Where did you attend school? Durmstrang
What House were you in? N/A, but posses the qualities of Hufflepuff. Always meaning to help and offer useful advice to everyone she meets. HOH Hufflepuff.
Family History:
Minka is a pure blooded wizard and was born in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania. Her father studied dragons and her mother was a divination master. Minka is an only child. Minka mostly keeps to herself and hardly reveals anything about her past (or her future!)
As far as anyone knows, Minka isn't married and doesn't have any children. She seems to lead a lonely existence.
Physical Description:
Minka has long salt and pepper hair that she keeps tied back in a red silk scarf and is often braided. She is fond of long earrings, necklaces and bangles. She tends to wear corsets over her elaborate blouses and wears long skirts. Her fashion sense is needless to say foreign, like everything else about her.
Personality Description:
Minka is generally friendly, but her accent makes her sound intimidating. It is debatable to whether or not she can be described as ‘approachable’ since most people find her a little too quirky for their comfort. She almost never leaves a conversation without giving some kind of advice. Things like “Don’t eat any apples today, if you do, you’ll regret next attending Thrusday’s Quidditch match.” Madame Minka is a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
Strengths:
Minka traveled through most of Europe as a child, never really staying in one place. As a result she picked up quite a few European languages. Minka’s mother tongue is Romanian and she also speaks German, Russian and English (though she speaks it with a heavy eastern European accent.)
Minka was lucky enough to attend Durmstrang, despite her family not being very weathly. Her school was paid for by a mysterious benefactor. She is extremely good at divination, but not that great at anything else. She learned everything about divination from her mother, at a young age, earning her an exemption from it in school.
Weaknesses:
Minka is addicted to divination. She can almost always be found looking into her crystal ball or reading tarot cards. She can’t even enjoy a cup of Turkish coffee without turning over the cup when she’s done and reading the grains. Most of her colleges agree that it’s not healthy to rely so much on her predictions, but aren’t sure how to address the problem. So far, nothing harmful has become of it. Due to language issues, or perhaps sheer snobishness, she occasionally speaks in the third person.
Why would you like to teach at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?
Minka has traveled the world and her recent travels have landed her in England. Minka comes with high recommendations from the Headmaster at Durmstrang and wishes to fill the position of the Divinations Professor.
What would you like to teach?
Divination
Have you had any prior experience (In character, and on other sites)?
Yes. I have moderated Proboards before and have been RPing and GMing for 8 years now.
Please give us an example RP:
“Give me yurr palm.” Madame Minka suddenly takes a hold of your right hand and turns it over, smoothing her palm over yours, feeling the thin lines of your skin.
“Oh ya, you vill do vell herre at Hogwarts, but do not be dizappointed vhen you do not pass OWL exam for Transzfiguration, you are destined for greater thinks. Now go study!”
