This above  all else... to  thine  own  self  be  true. 02:11, August 9, 2015 (UTC)

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.

Sofija and Oskars Skuja were married when they were 23, and 24 respectively. Nothing about the marriage was scandalous... but it wasn't too long before Sofija found she was having trouble conceiving a child. They consulted Healer after Healer in Latvia, all of which told them that children might not be possible, unless they wanted to consider adoption. Neither Sofija nor Oskars was thrilled about the option.... and soon it turned out that they wouldn't have to. Sofija was pregnant. Nine months later, their little miracle child was born, and Holly Kristine Skuja's life began. When Oskars' sister Daina got married, and Peteris' depression started acting up, Daina reached out to her brother. She wanted Ivy to have something of a father figure in her life, and she wanted it to be Oskars. So the family grew up fairly close; Holly, Lance and Ivy weren't quite siblings, but almost. Holly was eight when her first magical signs appeared, and on her eleventh birthday, she got letters from Hogwarts and Durmstrang. Durmstrang being closer... that's where she was sent. But Lance and Ivy went to Hogwarts. Holly had always sort of wondered why, but she quickly made friends at Durmstrang, and suddenly it didn't seem to matter that her cousins weren't there. Holly made friends very easily, and was quite popular in her days at school. Academics weren't ever truly her thing, but she made passing marks just fine. Not too long after her graduation, she found out her aunt and uncle had split, and she began to wonder how her cousins-- whom she hadn't seen in years-- were coping. She had vague memories of her uncle, but it was sort all in her periphery; she remembered him there, but not doing much. Holly knew that her Dad would do anything for Daina, and that if she spun it in the right way, she could get just about anything she wanted-- she was fully aware she was a miracle child. So, with a little bit if persuasion, Holly managed to get her parents money, and her parents blessing, to get a flat in London so she could help out her cousins. She's still living off Daddy's money for now, but she's looking for a job. Though the notion does bore her a bit.

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?

Holly is... sometimes a loose cannon. Popularity and Quidditch boys always appealed more to her than books and homework, and that's sort of translating into her adult life as well. She's never been afraid of having a good time, and she's never backed down from starting up the fun if she needs to. Yes... she's the one asking you for a painkiller on Monday after she finished telling you the story of her wild weekend. But she's okay with that. She also does care about her family. The image of her Uncle Peteris was always slightly confusing, and just a touch upsetting, to her, and she always loved playing with Lance and Ivy. Holly recognizes life as being something slightly fleeting-- it's ours for a little while. So why not play that up?

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!)

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!)

Nope! :)

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?

Looking to get a job-- probably as a waitress somewhere.

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