Forum:Jessa Howe

1) Give a 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.

In the year 1692, panic swept Puritan Massachusetts. There had been reports of witches being spotted and curses being laid on people left and right. Of course, none of it was true, but where there is panic, thinking is swept away. Eventually, the Salem Witch Trials started. They burned people that they thought were witches at the stake or hung. Hundreds of innocents were killed, accused of consorting with the Devil.

A group of ten witches and wizards gathered and made a pact that would last them through death and make sure that their families stayed true to the magic that ran through their veins. They would eventually be killed through out the four months, with their leader, Bridget Bishop, being hung first. Soon, on July 19th, five women were killed by burning at the stake. One of these was Elizabeth Howe, who was exceptional at wandless magic. She had an 19-year-old son, who married and continued the Howe line to the modern day.

Now, in the modern day, the Howes still number one and will always number one. The current and only alive Howe is 20-year-old Jessa. She is the first female to be born to the Howe family to this day, and has her ancestor's ability of wandless magic. Jessa was born to Thomas and Alyssa Howe on July 25th, 2006 in their small house in Salem, Massachusetts. She had a normal childhood, well, as normal as it could be when she found out about her ancestor and the Circle that is naturally-called to each other. Her first sign of magic was during the summer. Jessa was about 3 and an injured bird came to land next to her, close to death. Immediately, Jessa stretched her little hands out to the bird and before anyone saw what had happened, the bird flew away, all healed. That was the sign that her father was waiting for. Now, she's 20 and newly-arrived to London.

Jessa's interested in joining the Aurors, and has been working on her wide variety of spells for several years as well as spell-chains.

2) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or humble?

essa is quiet, observant, and deadly. She strikes with precision, cutting deep with her honeyed words. She's distant, not warming up very quickly, and that has contributed to her deadliness. Jessa's gracefully-built, but can still pack a punch that has most wincing. She's one of those people who can insult and compliment in the same sentence, but knows around who that is acceptable and who it's not. Her observance skills are incredible, with her picking up extremely small details that others miss with their spells. Jessa's also intelligent and will sometimes go about her own way to figure something out, even if that means irritating others.

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. Elizabeth Howe, a witch killed in 1692 in the Salem Witch Trials.

4) Does your character have any special magical abilities? Or special abilities in general (photographic memory, etc.)? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as veela, vampire, werewolf or the likes? Part or half of that magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have an "exotic" characters as your first two characters!)

Her wandless and wordless magic are highly-finessed, so much that she only uses her wand for extremely complicated spells and chains.

5) 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?

Enroll as an Auror

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

Single, not in the market.
