Personality: Vikae has an ability to project a cold exterior, despite the fact that she feels deeply and passionately about many issues. She has a tendency to be a bit hot-headed. She has a sharp wit and equally sharp tongue, which she can use to her advantage, although it can also get her into trouble. V has a very aggressive and harsh attitude. She needs to be held back often. She chafes against authority but generally does what she needs to, regardless. Vikae trusts and loves very few people, but she is fiercely loyal to those she does, turning frighteningly vindictive when they are hurt or killed. She tends to seem very solemn and quiet, a silent sentinel. She does to not involve herself in things she doesn't think are important. Which is a vast majority of the time. She also isn't even slightly naive or gullible. She's very smart at reading others and looking in to their hidden motives. She can also get very serious very quickly, no matter the situation. Vikae isn't afraid to hurt people's feelings in the name of her loved ones she prides herself on it. And if you some how managed to gain her trust you gained a life long friend. Her sense of humor is something to behold though, especially when she laughs, a laugh from her could light up a room.

Family: Mother- Ravenna Akiza
Dante Akiza
Hometown: Bibury England
Backstory:
Vikae was born in to a “rich” family. Or as some would call old money. Her grandparents immigrated from Sicily Italy in their late twenties to Bibury England. She isn’t exactly sure where their money came from. But there is speculation that they dabbled in the trade and smuggling of illegal/ancient artifacts and things of that nature. Her grandparents from what she can remember, were very strict. They pushed her parents to push her. And They did exactly that. Her best was never her best, she could always do better. If she was a straight A student then she had to do every extracurricular thing imaginable.

One of the many things they did was enroll her in rigorous piano classes. Which to some may not seem like a lot but to an 8 year old, 6 hours a day was torture. As she grew her families expectations of her did as well. They were both high profile Aurors. Which meant whenever they went out she also had to present herself in the best possible way she could. Resulting in her being very micromanaging and highly meticulous. Throughout school people avoided her due to her nature, she was often subjected to the hands of bullies. She was nothing but a walking talking book, they would tease her for not having fun and doing the things normal students did. To make matters worse she was a pure blood, people believed she thought she was better than them. Though her blood never crossed her mind. A students blood had no role in whether or not they achieved great things. Her mother thought otherwise obviously. But she often envied the half-blood students. Vikae believed that maybe if her parents didn’t come from a line of witches and wizards they would be loving and maternal towards her. Despite this she put her feelings aside and continued on at school, achieving their high expectations. After year four at Hogwarts she decided that when she came home for the summer she would just relax. Her parents had other plans. They believed that despite her excellent academic record she wasn’t anything special. Anyone could do good in school, they wanted her to be different. So they urged her to become and Animagus. A witch who could transform herself at will to a creature that was the embodiment of herself. Surprisingly enough despite her parents idea of her doing this they would not help her achieve it. She had to do it on her own. The first two weeks of summer break she read as many books about Animagi from her parents collection as she could. Then she marked out a place where she would preform the painstaking ritual. First she had to raise her own mandrake. Once it had sprouted leaves she had to hold one in her mouth for the duration of a month. She didn’t find this entirely difficult as she kept in rolled up, small and neat in her cheek. If the leaf happened to come out at any point she had to restart the process. Which she did only once. While the leaf was in her mouth she had to recite the incantation of the Animagus throughout the day, everyday. Once the next full moon came she had to spit her leaf in to a phial under the ray of the moon. Then she had to collect her potions ingredients, which wasn’t hard to procure. Afterwards she would store the potion away until a lighting storm occurred. It took two weeks for one to finally appear. While she waited she had to recite the Animagi incantation during sunrise and during sundown. Once the storm happened she had to simply drink her potion while pointing her wand at her heart and say her incantation. Vikae didn’t feel anything at the time but once she said the spell again she was able to shift. It was uncomfortable and disorienting at first, but she soon got the hang of it. It took her three months before she could shift without having to use her wand. She knew that once she was an Animagi she could be free for some time. The expectations of her being a prodigy melted away. Her Animagi was a grim wolf. And she could just exist while shifted, a mere animal. Her thoughts were the same just less demanding. Vikae wanted to keep her ability a secret from the outside world otherwise they would take away her freedom, she wouldn’t be able to just “be.” So after days of persuading her mother she was able to remain unregistered. Life went on as usual afterwards. Heavy academics and the whatnot. Then her parents received a letter by owl from a professor at the school. Within it was appraisal of her and her school work, and a inquiry about her becoming a champion for the Octowizard Tournament. He thought she would be an excellent candidate for the roll. Vikae wasn’t insanely keen on becoming a champion but with her parents insistence she decided she would do it. She was determined to win, she would do her best as she always did.

Viserion Viserion Vale looks pretty good so far, however please note that Hogwarts only goes up to 7th year! Before I accept her, please add some more information to her backstory. For instance, some of my questions reading through her form are:
1) Why is she Italian yet her hometown is Bibury and she attends Hogwarts? Was she born in Italy and moved, or is she first-generation English?
2) What is her family's and her own philosophy on blood supremacy, since she is pureblood? How does that tie in with her economic background? Given that her mother quit working to raise her, is Vale from a rich family?
3) How is it that she's become an Animagus, and furthermore, how has she avoided detection as an unregistered one? What was her motivation for doing so? Do her family or friends know?
4) Why did she enter the Octowizard Tournament, and how does feel about her selection as a representative? How confident is she about her chances of winning?
Also, this is completely optional, but if you'd like to plot some shared history with the other preexisting Hogwarts characters, please feel free to add that to Vale's backstory too!
 
Aviator Aviator Honestly thank you for giving me stuff to add because i really felt like i was missing a lot and my brain just farted and i was like yup okay. Anyways i’ll edit everything tomorrow thank you <3
 
Animagus is not an easy skill to learn. In fact, on another site I'm on that is HP based we actually have a rule that no student characters can be animagus. Obviously that doesn't apply here, but looking back it makes the Marauders all being animagi seem even more unrealistic. It's like J.K. Rowling's lore is not even consistent anymore(although we already knew about some of the plotholes).

Sorry, just rambling. I'll shut up now.

Yes! I’m not really sure how i’ll work that in to her background. I think i may do it over the course of a summer. Since she would have no obligations to really anything. The lore for an Animagus isn’t terribly inconsistent though, from what i’ve read it all seems to be fairly the same/similar.

I was mostly just ranting about J.K. in general anyway, no worries. I love the world she created, but some of the finer details are definitely inconsistent.
 
On an unrelated note I'll like to reserve a Uagadou professor slot and the last ability slot. With how slow moving this RP is I think I can handle another character.
 
Yeah, when I saw that Vale's Patronus is different from her Animagus form, I looked that up to see if it was accurate with HP lore, but I found a bunch of conflicting answers and no definites, and then of course there's the few oddball characters whose Patronus changes over the course of their lives... So I can't say that it's impossible for Vale to have a hawk Patronus and wolf Animagus. Although I am fairly certain that Animagi cannot choose the form that their Animagus takes.

Jannah Jannah Excellent, I'll reserve them right away! Although are you sure that you want to make the Uagadou professor when there are currently no Uagadou students? I was actually just about to ask irregular-neptune irregular-neptune if they still want to keep Kaz as the Koldovstoretz professor when I'm not sure whether a z u l a a z u l a is still active on this thread.

Oh shit, you're right. Change that to student then. Also on that note I'm torn between animagus and parselmouth(I'm not convincedthat Salazar Slytherin and his relations would be the only ones in the world to have the ability). I guess I'll have to decide when I app. I have a bit of a character forming in my head.

Viserion Viserion I haven’t actually checked your sheet yet, but maybe you could add that her parents were really controlling academics and thats that’s how she became an animagus? Maybe the pressure of expectation pushed her into trying for the tournament? Not sure if that fits but my first thoughts if you’re struggling goes there!!

Aviator Aviator I think from what I remember from the books that your patronus is your animagus form? I remember there being all this stuff about James Potter / Sirius Black about how their forms were the same etc.
 
Also, from my understanding animagus forms would be an animal that the wizard/witch is intimately familiar with. I don't think wolf would work for a Hogwarts student as there's no wolves in the UK.

(Just checked it. In ancient Britain wolves were present, but they have since then been exterminated.)
 
An animagus form could be what a person is like personality wise also, like what they are deep in there soul or whatever from what i’ve read. I’ve done a few tests so i wouldn't have to just pick at random. All of the came back as a grim wolf for her so i was like well okay. As for the patronus I found conflicting information about that as well. I figured Vale wants to be a free spirit character but expectations hold her back, so a bird would be something that she’d really envy/ connect with. Aviator Aviator Jannah Jannah

artfvlly artfvlly Oh actually that would make a lot of sense. Her parents wanted her to be unique and different within the wizarding world so they kind of forced/urged her to become an animagi.
 
Full Name: Zeinaba Amensisa Daniachew
Nicknames: Zeena
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Birthday: August 16th

Ethnicity: Ethiopian
School: Uagadou
Rank: Secondary
Year: 6th
House (some schools may not be applicable): N/A
Wand: Plum, Blast-Ended Skrewt Claw, 12 inches
Pet: Lula, an adopted stray cat

Blood Status: Half-blood
Patronus: Flamingo
Boggart: Her loved ones, but they're surrounding her with knives as if to (figuratively) stab her
Quidditch: Doesn't play
Preferred Classes: Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination

Appearance:
resize.jpg
To Zeena dress is very much a form of self-expression. She will dress in a way that both shows off her personality and is stylish. In fact, she has quite a fondness for fashion in all it's forms. She especially loves the innovative and colourful designs that come out of the fashion world. Although she is not wealthy by any means(she's average) she will attempt to duplicate many of these runway looks even if with cheaper knockoffs or pieces she created herself. To her, fashion is very much an art and she will put immense effort into looking the way she wants to. It will not always necessarily fit society's standards, either. The more experimental looks of the runway will often make it into her wardrobe. Additionally, any excuse to dress up she will absolutely accept.

Zeena will wear her hair and makeup about as lavishly as the clothing she commonly dons. She enjoys the bright colours in both, particularly in her clothing and makeup. It is usually only her hair that is spared the treatment of being covered in other colours. In fact, her hair rarely deviates from its natural black and is usually worn down(or braided). Of course, as somebody who cares deeply about appearance she will be rarely seen in an unkempt appearance. Everything about her is clean and well-groomed. She is absolutely the type who would get made up even for casual company. The only known exception to this rule is when she's out in the field with her Magizoologist and Zoologist family members.
Height & Weight: 5'7", 125 lbs
Body Modifications: Ear piercings in her lobes and tragus
Physical Disabilities: None
Faceclaim: Senait Gidey

Personality: Zeena is best known for her colourful and upbeat personality. She is outgoing and is the light in the room seemingly wherever she is. Friendliness and optimism are both traits that strongly radiate from her. She will always twist any situation into the best it can be; after all, there is no sense dwelling on what one simply cannot change. This, of course, is the philosophy she lives her life by. She is not one to hold grudges or dwell on the past. In fact, if somebody wrongs her then she will attempt to reconcile with them in some way. One could even say she is a diplomatic voice to some extent in that she will also attempt to mend the feuds of others when it is necessary. Perhaps a part of her hopes to make new friends in the process of doing so. She does like friends and absolutely views the tournament as an opportunity to make more of them.

Unsurprisingly, Zeena is a free-spirited individual. She is not known to cling strongly to the obligation of others, particularly in the form of traditions and rules that she feels are outdated. She believes that society is perpetually evolving and that humanity must evolve with it or risk becoming obsolete; natural selection in a sense. By extension she does not judge others for their differences and lifestyle choices(provided they're not directly harmful to others). She has little tolerance for bigotry regardless of the form it takes and will stand up against it.

Being the outgoing and boisterous individual she is, Zeena does occasionally encounter some drawbacks. Primarily she does not know when to shut up. She will speak her mind without taking into consideration the potential consequences of doing so. If there's something on her mind then she will say it. She simply does not believe in sugarcoating the truth; if one is seeking constructive criticism then she is masterful at providing it. She is not particularly witty, but she will blow away her audience merely by the blunt nature of her words.

Zeena is not the most academically gifted, but that is not to say that she is an unintelligent young woman. She is skilled magically, although is not particularly fond of the more academic and more theoretical side of the craft. In other words, she prefers to act rather than theorize. If she puts effort into something, academic or otherwise, then it is generally because there is something for her to personally gain in doing so. In that sense she is very much a self-serving individual. Shes does also possess a bit of an ambitious streak, particularly to some day make it big in some way. She is by no means a narcissist, but she does enjoy being the centre of attention. She enjoys the praise that often comes with it. Ridicule she is less equipped to deal with, however.
Positive Traits: Outgoing, optimistic, free-spirited, diplomatic, ambitious
Negative Traits: too opinionated, does not perform well under stress, materialistic, selfish, lazy
MBTI Type: ESFP
Moral Alignment: Chaotic good
Temperament: Sanguine

Likes: Animals(both magical and mundane), fashion, Transfiguration, Divination, making friends, adventure, money, music, gossip
Dislikes: Bigotry, academia, the Dark Arts, getting dirty, peas, the conflicts of her homeland, popcorn, those who lack a vision, horror/darker things in general
Habits: In the rare moments where she truly wants to be alone Zeena will revert into her animagus form and wander within nature.
Fears: Being insignificant, betrayal(particularly by friends and family)
Hobbies: Fashion design/creation, caring for animals, listening to music(and singing along), learning new information
Mental Disorders: None

Family: Teshale(father, muggle), Makeda(mother, witch), Lidya(younger sister, witch), Elsa(younger sister, witch), Adisu(older brother, squib), Ayene(younger brother, squib)
Hometown: Gondar, Ethiopia
Backstory: Zeena's legacy began with the union of Teshale and Makeda. Although muggle and witch, the couple was able to bond over a love and passion for wildlife. Makeda was already on her way to becoming an accomplished Magizoologist in her own right while Teshale was studying to become a Zoologist. It was practically fate that each of the couple's children adopted a similar love for wildlife in all its forms. In fact, it was it was shortly after the last of their children were born that they decided to take their life's work even further. They began supporting wildlife reserves, both magical and mundane, all across the country and even moved to be closer to work in these reserves.

With both parents working in the local wildlife reserves the children naturally spent a lot of time present as well. Over time each of them learned about the different animals and how to care for them in hopes that at least one child would follow in their footsteps. Such instruction almost became like a supplemental aspect of their education. Their lives largely came to consist of going to school and then helping out with the animals. Magic was largely divorced from the childrens' lives, at least when they were not being exposed to the magical creatures. However, that was only a short lived reality. As the girls grew older they began to show signs of magic themselves. One by one they got accepted into the Uagadou. The boys were revealed to be squibs, along with having a muggle father, which taught each in the large family the value of tolerance and coexistence with others early on.

Once Zeena became of age she too was accepted into Uagadou. Like her sisters and mother before her she was ecstatic about finally having her opportunity to attend the school. Due to her social nature she also came to thrive in such an environment. She made friends easily and was well-liked for the most part. She did not have the greatest performance academically, but she did pass and was known to be intelligent. Rather, it was laziness holding her back from achieving full academic potential. The girl seemed to have other goals in mind more in line with those of her parents.

Following both her own love of animals and Uagadou's long tradition of being host to a large amount of Animagi Zeena decided to learn the skill under tutelage of her Transfiguration professor. She was successful, finally transforming into an African Wildcat for the first time in her 5th year. To this day she considers it to be one of her greatest achievements. However, an even greater opportunity for significant achievement and possible fame surfaced in the beginning of her 6th year: The Octowizard Tournament. Being within the designated age range Zeena signed up with little hesitation. She was a bit disappointed to learn that she had lost out on the position of Champion to an older student, but she quickly decided that a secondary position would suffice. It was still full of untold possibilities waiting to be uncovered. She only hopes that the recognition she seeks will come from it.

Sexuality: Pansexual; judging people based on genitals is weird
Relationship Status: Single
Turn-Ons: The biggest factor Zeena looks for in a relationship is somebody who can keep up with her outgoing and energetic personality. Of course traits like loyalty and trust are crucial as well, but ultimately Zeena is a sensual person. She greatly enjoys the more physical aspects of relationships; those with little interest in intimacy in all its forms would not be the partners for her. Additionally she does not understand the weird hangup that so many have on what's in a person's pants. She firmly believes that one's genitals do not define who they are or what they're capable of in a relationship.
Turn-Offs: A lack of communication in a relationship will get a person on Zeena's shit list rather quickly. She needs somebody who is willing to convey their wants and needs within the context of the relationship. A failure to do so will cause her to lose interest rather quickly. Due to her own high needs for physical intimacy a reluctance in her partner to cuddle, a low sex drive, etc. will be an indication that the relationship will simply not work out.

Jannah Jannah Zeena is looking awesome!!!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Viserion Viserion I am so sorry that I didn't catch this before, but would you mind please changing Valencia's first name? I just noticed that one of our characters already has Valencia as a surname. I can't believe I didn't see it before, and this is totally on me, sorry.

I like Vikae myself. I feel like Valeria is still a bit too close to Valencia, but I'll wait to see what Nightmare says.
 
Alrighty so i’ve edited it, please let me know if there is anything else i need to add/remove. Also for some reason if i added a spoiler for the whole form it would make an additional spoiler if i had one on the backstory. So i had to completely remove it.

tenor.gif


Appearance: Esfir, better known as Essie, is a lovely young woman with strikingly beautiful features. She has high cheekbones, lush lips, a perfectly sculpted jawline, and pointed chin. Her skin is fair and smooth and complements the naturally rosy coloring of her lips. She has long ebony hair that has a natural gentle wave but can easily be straightened. Her eyes are almond-shaped sky blue eyes with long dark eyelashes. Her build is slim but she is rather busty as well as has long and very nice legs. She is very fit and clearly takes good care of herself.
Scent: Rose and Chamomile
Height & Weight: 5'9" and 123
Body Modifications: Bares The Mark of Baba Yaga on her lower left arm.
Physical Disabilities: N/A
Faceclaim: Jessica Green

Personality: Essie lives her life cut off from many of her emotions because she is afraid to feel them. Due to the fact that fate has dealt her an unkind hand Essie has found herself afraid to feel the way others do because she knows she will miss it when the time comes. Positive feelings are the worst because they are the most bitter to swallow. Being shown friendship, being happy, feeling excitement, these emotions are always met with a harsh slap to the face when Essie remembers her reality. This life she lives isn't her own, she is simply getting to use it for a while and she has to remind herself of that every day. Because of this Essie often tries to come across as cold and uncaring towards those around her since she is afraid to grow close to people. Deep down though she is very warm and loving. If she had more time she would give in to her desire for companionship but she is so afraid of the pain she will feel when it is ripped away as well as the pain she would cause others. If pressed enough or under the right circumstances she will let others in despite her better judgment. She is a loyal friend, or as loyal as she can be when it is her in control. That's right. Essie isn't always in control of her mind and body. Every once in a while Essie is possessed by Baba Yaga and her personality changes completely and not for the better. Baba Yaga tends to be very nasty towards those Essie cares about, as well as just about anyone she interacts with and demands respect from all those around her. When Essie is herself she is a bit of a geek who loves herbology and potion-making. She can often be found in the greenhouse tending the plants or stirring a cauldron somewhere just because she wanted to see if she could master some new potion. She is a book worm and has a real green thumb. The plants she grows are divine and taken care of by a true master gardener as Essie has treated them with the love and caring of a true friend. Essie is very understanding and patient with others which some might find surprising. In her mind, she has no right to judge anyone for their mistakes since she has made plenty of her own. She also hates judging people because she knows that others have probably judged her for things Baba Yaga has done.

As you might have gathered by this point Essie's life is not one to be envied. Her family is famed for being direct descendants to one of the oldest and most powerful witches in all of Russia (maybe even the world) and because of this, a curse runs in their blood. Every generation a new female with the blood of Baba Yaga running through her veins is chosen as the vessel for Baba Yaga. The child is marked with The Mark of Baba Yaga a few days after her birth, a symbol to show her fate as Baba Yaga's chosen one. From that point on it is the family's sworn duty to prepare the child and make her a perfect host for their most honored and most demanding ancestor. When the girl reaches the age of full magic maturity Baba Yaga takes the girl's body as her own, sacrificing the chosen vessel's life force in order to sustain hers until the next vessel comes along. To be the chosen vessel is supposed to be a great honor for any girl in the family and many members treat it as a gift; however, Essie has never seen it that way. The way she sees it is that before she could even remember she has been told that this life is not hers. Members of her family who say they love her and shower her with praise only do so because she has been forced into perfection her entire life in order to be ready as a vessel as well as having been placed on a lonely pedestal to be gawked at until the day her purpose is fulfilled. They do not love her, they only love what she is, not who she is. She cannot make friendships or connections because she will not live long enough to be able to enjoy them and they will end in tears for herself and those she cares for. In her mind, she doesn't want to hurt anyone by becoming their friend when she already knows the friendship will not last. This has led to Essie craving companionship but too afraid to seek it out, thus her best friend has become her beloved cat Lev. As Essie grew older she began to realize she was losing time. Eventually, she found out that her time and memory loss was coming from Baba Yaga taking over her body to "test it out". From what Essie gathered the things her ancestor would say and do were both manipulative and hurtful which crushed Essie's heart since she could do nothing to stop it. Her family has never understood her feelings and so she learned at a young age to keep her thoughts and emotions to herself. Essie has decided that it is best for her to cut herself off from others, remain cold and composed in order to lessen the pain she feels. It doesn't really work but the poor girl is too tired and depressed to try finding another way. After being told that this is how it will be for so long, knowing there is no way out, Essie has finally resigned to her fate. She does what she can to try and enjoy her time while she has it which is why she has volunteered for the tournament against the cries of disapproval from her family. In her mind she is already hurtling towards death so why not spice it up and add some fun into the mix, Baba Yaga cannot take her if she is already dead after all.

    appearance

    If one were to ask Rotimi what he feels his most striking feature is, he would likely settle on his eyes. Dark, almost black-brown in color, and encircled by thick, blunt lashes, they are the one physical trait he shares with his mother. The rest of him, from his thick dark eyebrows to his plump lips, seems more relative his father, or even his uncle. His skin, like his eyes, is dark as well but closer to a milk chocolate color and blessedly has remained free of many of the blemishes that have affected others in his peer group. Another noteworthy thing about Rotimi is likely his height, yet another of the surprises that accompanied his birth as most of the Alakija's and Adesina's both grow to be at most 5"5. Rotimi however was tall even during his childhood, undergoing that 'string-bean' awkward phase as most adolescent boys do early on, and growing into his height sooner than most. Now 6"2 and still taking advantage of the quick metabolism his still-growing body affords him, the athleticism that has gained him much of his notoriety around Uagadou only further helps him to keep the weight off and tone much of his body. Though he's far from a body-builder, weight-lifting sessions and summer runs during Quidditch seasons and over breaks have over the years afforded Rotimi well-muscled arms and legs though he's seemingly retained a lean frame that makes most second-guess his assertion that he is indeed a Beater.

    Having been taught at a young age that first impressions - the physical particularly - are important, Rotimi prioritizes cleanliness and trimness where his physical appearance is concerned. Weekends during his childhood Rotimi still remembers accompanying his uncle to the muggle-world for his weekly barbershop appointments along with the occasional nail salon for a manicure, and now older he's retained much of his uncle's habits (though he tries to keep these to himself as his friends love to tease him for it). Typically Rotimi keeps his heart shorn close to the scalp in an even, neat buzz-cut style that has become his signature. Although Wizarding salons could likely do the same work in less time, he still finds himself going to those same muggle barber shops of his youth, feeling they do a better job. In more recent, rebellious years Rotimi has found himself turning to even more muggle-modifications of his body, - an industrial piercing in his left ear (a painful experience only made more worth it the instant his uncle laid eyes on it) and a small bird tattoo behind his ear.

    Wands aren't really a necessity in Uagadou, where children are taught early on to command their magic without the need for a physical medium. Just for this trip however (at his headmaster's behest to not discomfit the European wizards too much), Rotimi has taken too carrying a literal "stick" of corkwood around.
