The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each. Elise is your usual seven-year-old child. Well, not always usual, due to her father's job as a Special Operations auror. Consider it like the magical version of military brat life. She is a girl with a mind and eye for details. Were most people skip over things, Elise picks it up and keeps it in the back of her mind for later. She has a bright smile, and a willingness to handle challenges and puzzles set in front of her. Elise can be stubborn at times, but she has an ability to put anyone at ease around her. When she gets tired, she can definitely get cranky and even more stubborn, but it's rare that she gets to that stage of things.

Elise enjoys her reading. She always has her nose buried in a book or another, even if the book is a bit advanced for her age at the moment. She's not a child genius or anything, she just has a curiosity that can only be soothed by challenging books and other things that stretch her mind. Elise, however, doesn't really focus well on mutliple things. She has an automatic one-topic focus, and this can definitely cause some issues with her... But at least, she has a good control over her temper and emotions.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each. Xavier Richards was a highly-skilled Special Operations Auror. Addison Heron was a cold-hearted Hit Wizard, who had been on the losing end of things concerning partners for a while. She didn't take to being assigned a new partner, which in this case, was Xavier Richards, very well, and basically gave him the cold-talk-to-the-hand behaviors. Xavier was anything but stubborn, and kept trying to break down Addison's walls. Over the months, he would succeed more info out of her, and slowly watch her walls break down, especially after one mission that would change both of their lives.

The date was June 20, 2029, and it was during a mission after-party. Xavier and Addison got a bit drunk, relaxed and fell into bed together. They rocked the sheets that night, and the next morning, it was as if they had never slept together. But things begun to change by July 1st of that year. Addison found herself giving more sacrifices to the gods of the porcelein altar, and her mind begun to whirl. Going in for a monthly physical, she received the startled news that she was pregnant, pretty easy to figure out that it was Xavier's child. And so, on March 1st, 2030, Elise Addison Richards-Heron was born in the magical hospital.

Addison basically refused to have anything to do with her, and so she handed complete custody over to Xavier. Now, it was his turn to figure out how to manage his job and raising a daughter. And figure it out he did. Moving back to England, he managed to get back in contact with his siblings and their families, and began to try and make a life in the UK with Elise and his older sister, Amelia. However, he wouldn't enjoy the environment, and moved himself and Elise back to America shortly thereafter. He took back up his job as a Special Operations auror, unknowing of the dangers he had put Elise in.

There was one man who had basically lost everything because of Xavier, and hearing about his daughter, the one thing in his entire world, began to think of ways to destabilize Auror Richards... Elise was walking to the bus from home when she was suddenly kidnapped. She was held prisoner, and well, what happened next, was never mentioned. Xavier was absolutely devastated, and put everything towards finding his daughter. Six months after her kidnap, they had found and rescued her, but it was this incident that changed everything for Xavier. He didn't want to put any more dangers on Elise's life, and so with a heavy heart, he sent a message to both Mark and Mallory and Charity and Ash, asking one of the couples to take custody of Elise. Elise was sent over to England on her own, escorted by another Auror, and is currently trying to get used to her new guardians.

3) Write about your character's appearance. What 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! Her current model is Summer Fontana.

4) Is your character a Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important characters from the Harry Potter Universe!) Half-Blood. Her father is related through marriage to the Bagman, Dane, Mitchell-Anderson, and Prince families.

5) Does your character have any special abilities? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of a magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have a character with special abilities/of a different magical race as one of your first two characters!) No special abilities.

6) What year is your character in? She's seven, so she'll be in Hogwarts in four years.
