'''There were two Muggle lesbians who were falling in love while attending a university in Seattle, Washington. Beverly Mendoza was a transgender woman of Puerto Rican descent and Hathai Omlamai was a cisgender woman of Thai descent. After they graduated, they had eloped and moved to Chicago, Illinois where they pursued careers as art and history teachers respectfully. Once they had reached a comfortable point, they had decided to start on several procedures which resulted in their very own child. Upon her birth on May 29th of 2018, she was named Apricot Dauenphen Mendoza-Omlamai. Although primarily raised in Chicago, they frequently visited Thailand where Hathai's family lived. It was rumored that Apricot's lack of speech resulted from the changing between English and Thai. However, it was discovered otherwise when screening showed that the four year old had severe hearing loss. They tried to raise enough money for a Cochlear, but instead settled for getting her sleek black hearing aids. While it saved her hearing for most of her childhood, it was confirmed that she had been stripped of it all when she was nine. Successfully, she had learned four languages including English and Thai with their sign language equivalents ASL and TSL. The Mendoza-Omlamai family moved to St. Paul, Minnesota so that Apricot could attend the Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf in Faribault. Since it was a residential school, she remained there nearly year-round where she occasionally visited home for holidays or trips. When she was suddenly causing electronics to break or catch fire, she was immediately kicked from the institution. It confused Beverly and Hathai deeply, but they decided they would finally take Grandpa Mendoza's offer to live in Birmingham, England. After moving over the Atlantic, they had settled into Abuelo Mendoza's larger estate in England. Apricot had just turned 11, which resulted in her getting invited to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for she had still remained in America at the time. Between Beverly and Hathai, they were more surprised that their non-binary daughter was a witch, so neither of them realized how inconvenient the location of Ilvermorny was. Upon reaching September, she was having both Pukwudgie and Thunderbird reacting to her presence, before she picked Thunderbird. When December and Christmas rolled around, it was decided mostly by Beverly that Apricot needed to start attending school in the United Kingdom. Although they struggled, they finally reached the Ministry of Magic's Magical Education Department where they held a lengthy conversation with Ms. Saffron Carter. If they had ever managed to settle anything seemed unclear, but Apricot had transferred into Hogwarts regardless. While she struggled with her communication skills, she still survived it nonetheless. The former Thunderbird had extremely disliked the Sorting Hat, which had placed her into (WIP). Since she's already survived with little friends, she's also hoping she'll be capable of making it the whole stretch of Hogwarts that way.'''

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!

Apricot's model is Lydia Graham.

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 Harry Potter characters!)

'''Muggle-Born. Possibly Half-Blood (Unknown Father).'''

5) 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 like? Part or half of that magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have a character with special abilities/of a different magical race as one of your first two characters!)

None!
