Forum:Alouetta McKinnon

1) Give a short history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc.

Alouetta was born to Marlene McKinnon and Henry McKinnon on April 14- she was their third child, but they were still overjoyed to have her. Her other siblings, Arthur, age 11, and McKenzie, age 5, acted above her, as older siblings did,  yet were just as welcoming. It was hardly two years after that date when death came knocking at their door. Figuratively, of course. In reality, they were Death Eaters, and they didn't knock, they simply kicked the door down. Or blasted it through using bombarda- whichever version you prefer. Young Alouetta didn't know that, however, and merely reguarded it as an unsually demanding vistory. Being the shy toddler she was, she wriggled out of her high chair as the McKinnons were having supper, feasting on pasta. The distinct smell of her mother's homemade tomato sauce haunts her to this day. It wasn't such an strange scene, all except for her father pulling out his wand and Arthur beginning to pull McKenzie upstairs. She plopped on the floor, and crawled hurriedly into the hall closet, as she often did whenever they had company, but she did it with all the more gusto since her family seemed to be stirred into a panic. There, behind an overcoat, Alouetta was safely concealed. However, her family was not to make it out alive. She is the sole survivor.

Shortly after, the Order would discover the tragedy, and her wailing. They would be secretive about Alouette's survival, knowing that if the Death Eaters were aware, they'd come to finish off the line. They tried caring for her at 12 Grimmauld place to keep her out of danger, but they soon realized that was no place for a growing child. Reluctantly, they put Alouetta in a Foster home ran by a Squib and prayed she wouldn't have any magical outbursts with her new, most likely, muggle parents. Luckily, she was adopted after only three months by a newly wed couple, of whom sadly could not have a child of their own. Despite this, they treated her like their own, handing things to her on a whim and raising her as a muggle.

When her letter came, she felt it answered so many questions, but how could she do magic? How could she do magic? How could she do magic? Once realizing the letter wasn't a hoax, thanks to the ministry representative that explained the concept of magic to them, they sent her off.

When she graduated, her parents broke the news to her, which, in her opinion, was long overdue. They explained how she was adopted, and used to be the "McKinnon's" daughter until tradegy struck, but they didn't go into detail, nor did they tell her who her orginal parents were or how she came to be a Smith. After a bit of asking around, most specifically the Ministry, she found that the rest of her family had been murdered by Death Eaters in the first Wizarding War, and how they fought bravely in the war effort. She isn't sure how to feel about that, and often spends her time pondering the situation.

2) Give a short description of your character's personality. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or humble?

She's commonly placid and calm, and her face seems to be set in a amused, yet welcoming smile, as if there's always something to laugh at. In spite of her rather dark beginnings, she can't fully recollect everything that transpired, so, surprisingly enough to some, she's rather good natured. Alouetta isn't of extremly advanced intellect, but she surely isn't a dimwit. When faced with a problem, she will always wait before acting, as it isn't in her nature to be impulsive or jumpy. She's very unbiased, and she doesn't poke her nose into other people's buisness without good reason. She will only lie when seeing good reason to, but if it isn't of great importance she won't willingly break someone's trust.

3) Are you Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important Harry Potter characters!)

Half-Blood. Marlene McKinnon/The McKinnon family.

4) Describe your character's profession. Do you plan to enroll your character into the Ministry of Magic? Does your character not work? Is your character a teacher?

Alouetta is still looking for a suitable job; she's considering becoming a shop employee for a petstore.

5) Describe your character's marital status. Is your character single or married? What is the spouse's name? Any kids? Single.
