6) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or Humble? Anything about your character that might help the Sorting Hat decide. (Don't worry, you can copy this onto your character page later!) Miriam is confident. Sometimes that translates into an annoyingly pretentious, statuesque, composed, teacher-like, know-it-all, knee-length-skirt-wearing-with-crossed-legs sweetheart. Other times, her high energy and high expectations are hard to handle, and she becomes the ADHD problem child her parents know and love.

7) Write about the history of your character. History must be at least two paragraphs long. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (Again, you can copy this onto your character page later!)

 Alouetta was born to Anke McKinnon and Henry McKinnon on April 14— she was their third child, one that would be hard to afford, but they were still overjoyed to have her. Her other siblings, Simone, age 11 at the time, and Marko, age 5, acted above her, as older siblings did, yet were just as welcoming. It was hardly three years after that date when death came knocking at their door. Figuratively, of course. In reality, they were a pair of men Anke and Henry had neglected to arrest, and they didn't knock, they simply kicked the door down. Or blasted it through using bombarda— whichever version you prefer.

It is important for you to note that Henry was the nephew to the late Marlene McKinnon. In their family, either you were an aurour or a healer - that was simply the way things divided. Both skills ran down the line. After the wizarding war, he was quickly moved to a loving home in Germany for the sake of his protection. He had met Alouetta's mother when he first applied to be an aurour in Germany's Ministry. They had disrupted a trading of dragon eggs, among other banned products, and sent most of those involved off to jail. These two men were clever enough to bide their time until people finally stopped looking - then they would strike.

Young Alouetta didn't know that, however, and merely regarded it as an unusually demanding visitor. Being the 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 a strange scene, all except for her father pulling out his wand and Simone beginning to push Marko upstairs. Alouetta 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 as well. There, behind an overcoat, Alouetta was safely concealed. However, her family was not to make it out alive. She is the sole survivor. She never cried.

Shortly after, the Aurour department would discover the tragedy, and her wailing. They would be secretive about Alouette's survival, knowing that if the murderers were aware, they'd come to finish off the line. They tried caring for her at their headquarters to keep her out of danger, but they soon realized that was no place for a growing child. 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. She was adopted after only three months by a newly wed couple, of whom sadly could not have a child of their own; Robert and Marina Smith. Despite this, they treated her like their own, handing things to her on a whim and raising her as a muggle. Now Miriam, although she did love her parents, never fully felt like she belonged; Her having fiery red hair while they had mousy brown.

'''Miriam was born and raised in England, where the grass is green and the skies are grey. Though it does interfere with her love of rock-climbing, rock-collecting, a hobby of her's she's never really outgrown, she's grown to love rainy days and the smell of ozone right before a nice shower.

When her parents, Robert and Marina, first laid eyes on her, she was immediately dubbed Miram Erika. She grew up a single child in a very comfortable muggle household. Her parents, being as rich rich as they were, showed her the sky was the limit. Anything was possible. If you want a tutor in Russian, you will get one. If you want to paint a mural, we have a blank wall right over here. Even more so - everything was easy. This pampering explains her sometimes quixotic goals, and her demanding demeanor she takes when they are not met.'''

8) Write about your character's appearance. How do they look like? Are you planning on using a certain model for your character? If you already have a picture in mind, you can put it here! Miriam has, while not the beautiful copper most attribute when they hear the word 'Red', a most definitely a deep auburn color. Most would expect green, or even blue eyes to match, but instead she has brown. Occasionally she wear reading glasses, but as it's rare to catch her attentatively looking at a book, it's not a common occurance.
