Elsabet Kjærgaard





’Elsabet Kjærgaard’ is a fifth year (though she is constantly mistaken for being much younger, and is often thought to be a first or second year) Gryffindor from Denmark. 

Appearance
Her hair is a somewhat dark shade of blonde and reaches to just past her shoulders. She normally wears it loose or in a ponytail. Her hair isn't very easy to manage and is always messy. Her eyes are brown and quite round. She's got pale white skin and light freckles on her nose, cheeks, hands and shoulders. She has several scars on her arms and back from various childhood injuries. She looks quite a bit younger than she actually is because of her small height, weight and babyface. She is modeled by Ramona Marquez.

Biography

 * Originally she was born in Skagen, Denmark, to a Danish father and German mother. Neither parent was aware of the magical community, so it was quite the shock when she started showing signs. When she turned ten the family moved to the city of Bognor Regis, England for her mothers new job.


 * Though she missed her friends and home, it didn't take long for her to adapt. Though learning English was a bit of a struggle she just about coped (though to this day she still makes a few mistakes). She would constantly attempt to impress people with her growing magic skills, however it always backfired and just made the kids scared of her. So of course she eventually stopped and started to ask what on earth was going on.


 * Her parents, whilst supportive, couldn't help her much. They simply told her not to go anything - no matter if she could control it or not - and to go about as if everything was normal. When she turned eleven she was finally given the answer by a teacher at Hogwarts, who explained that she was a muggle-born witch. The teacher assisted her in buying all her supplies and when she was finally ready, she gladly left to attend her new school.

Personality

 * Elsabet is a typically happy-go-lucky girl, always in a good mood. She doesn't let things get to her and always tries to see the bright side of any situation. The girl is brave and proud, with a large ego. Her bravery can at times be a downfault as she refuses to back down and doesn't really have much of a sense of danger. She considers herself great at socializing and has a good understanding of people - though her ego can annoy others. If something catches her interest, she will dedicate a lot of tiem to it. Otherwise she'll most likely ignore it.
