Hogwarts Mystery MC Profile - Cato Reese (Updated)

Hi everyone! A lot of things prompted me to update my Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery MC’s character sheet.

Some creators have left the fandom or changed/scrapped their OCs since I published his profile last year. I’ve changed some things around for my MC too. Naturally, his character sheet deserves an update. I’ve improved the formatting of the paragraphs so they’re easier to read. Information on Cato’s interactions with Rakepick has been added too!

Enjoy, and feel free to like, reblog, and even leave a reply! You can also send me asks or DMs if you have question about Cato or would like to plot interactions/friendships! Both new and existing interactions are welcome! Just let me know and I’ll put your OC’s name on his friend list!

Background

Hometown:

Mount Ridgetop, Grasmere, South Lakeland, Cumbria, England (birth-18)

London, England (18-)

Family:

Mother - Reilly Reese (neé Catori)

Reilly was a pure-blood American witch who became an herbologist after graduating from Ilvermorny. She studied the application of magical herbs and fungi to the medical field. In 1967-68, she and Cato’s dad had a son named Alexander after marrying.

Seeking a more quiet and peaceful lifestyle to raise their children, the Reese family purchased a big house from an elderly couple in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria. They moved in during the year 1970. She gave birth to Cato on April 13, 1973. Alex was around five years old at the time.

She homeschooled her kids instead of sending them to a muggle primary school. Reilly didn’t believe it had any particular benefit for them. She was also worried about what would happen if her sons’ classmates found out that they had magical powers.

The boy’s mother retired from Herbology and opened a cafe-restaurant in the village of Grasmere. Her sons helped out at the restaurant to learn responsibility and life skills.

When Alex disappeared after his expulsion, Reilly required a lot of calming draught to cope with the bad news, and Cato remembers this really well, though he would only talk about within his circle of friends at Hogwarts.

Once he got back, she allowed him to turn Alex’s room into a guest room for friends to stay as the memories of him running away were too strong for her to bear and she wasn’t ready to be reminded of them.

Father - Wilfred “Freddie” Reese

He met Reilly Catori in the United States while he was still an auror. Freddie was on an assignment to assist MACUSA with curbing riots over the abolition of Wizard-Muggle segregation under Rappaport's Law in 1965.

He enjoyed his job but he longed to be able to settle down and spend more time raising his family. This became more imperative after the birth of his son Alexander. After recovering from a dangerous injury, he spent some time in the Improper Use of Magic Office.

In 1970, Freddie was offered a position as a legislator on the Wizengamot. He was highly recommended because of his sense of justice and work ethic. He accepted the position. In his first 10 years on the bench, he would aid in the prosecution of many Death Eaters, including Merula’s parents.

Freddie‘s parents lived in a seaside town in the southern region of England. Their house was close to the beach, and he played a lot together with his two sons whenever the family visited. Freddie played the piano as a hobby, and sometimes performed at his wife’s restaurant. He also taught Cato this skill.

Whenever it came to disagreements, he knew that unnecessary hitting or yelling never helped the situation. Freddie still stuck to his auror training even after he joined the Wizengamot. He would first try to listen and negotiate, and then step out for the night if the situation didn’t get better to let things calm down.

However when Alex was expelled from school and ended up disappearing, it was different. Reilly was in no mood to talk. She was desperate for calming draught. Freddie left the house to get ingredients to make more of the potion as his wife had used up the rest of the supply, but he never got back home that night.

It is unknown what he did while he was away, but he showed up again about a week later, though he was filthy and riddled with injuries. Young Cato was scared and worried that his daddy would end up getting hurt and that he would never see him again.

When he saw Freddie come back, Cato hugged him as tight as a little boy could. He was in tears and demanded to know where he went. The father couldn’t explain where he went or what he was doing, other than that according to him, his head was “really messed up.”

Reilly was about to yell at him for leaving her and Cato behind. She couldn’t be angry when saw him dirty and hurt. The remaining family joined together in a group hug.

They were ecstatic when Freddie came back from the market and showed Cato a sealed envelope from Hogwarts, which turned out to be his acceptance letter. He was called in from the patio behind the house to be informed of this news.

Before he left on the train to begin his first year, Freddie and Reilly promised to an anxious Cato they would take care of the home and business while he was gone.

Brother: Alexander “Alex” Reese

The bond between the Reese boys changed over time. Prior to Alex’s first year at Hogwarts, he was as close to Cato as a big brother could be. When free, they played on their parent’s somewhat spacious property. Sometimes they went exploring in the Lake District nearby.

Because of his fondness of beautiful sunsets, Cato can remember the evenings when he and Alex just laid down in the grass watching the sun dip below the horizon and wait for the stars. Their mum set up a curfew for them to return back to the farm before dark after catching them out one night.

As they got older, Alex grew strangely distant to Cato. They still visited the wilderness, but less often. They also spent less time out. Alex slowly drifted away and seemed distant to Cato.

Cato didn’t understand why his behavior was so weird. His parents were concerned too, as most days during the summer, Alex locked himself in his room to study or left to who knows where.

Alex, was the more impulsive and hotheaded boy. He developed an obsession with the Cursed Vaults at Hogwarts. The combined pressure from classes and the work that went into curse-breaking put a huge toll on his mental health.

Early into his sixth year, Alex was expelled from Hogwarts.

After Cato finished his seventh year of education, he and Alex’s late best friend Duncan Ashe encouraged him to start rebuilding his life.

Career

Ages 11-18: Hogwarts student

Ages 18-35: Auror

Ages 35-retirement: Healer

Personality & Attitude

Priorities: his Hogwarts education and exams, his friends, investigating his missing brother (in no particular order)

Strengths: empathy, compassion, intelligence, diligence, loyalty

Weaknesses: shyness, anxiety, overthinking

Stressed: in large crowds, pressure to succeed his exams while dealing with interference from the Cursed Vaults.

Calm/Comforting: Volunteering in the hospital wing, in the company of his close friends during classes, baking, watching sunsets, hearing the sound of rain beating against the window while studying (minus the thunder and lightning.)

Being sorted into Ravenclaw, Cato is intelligent and excels in most, if not all the core subjects at Hogwarts. He enjoys Transfiguration and Herbology the most. A hard-working and diligent boy, he dedicates himself to his studies a lot. Though he is prone to distractions if something else is on his mind and finds it hard to stay focused.

Out in the socializing department, he is rather quiet and introverted. Cato usually doesn’t approach people he doesn’t know well. If you come up to him, he’s friendly and happy to chat as long as the questions do not get too personal.

But beware, only approach him in a good mood though, cause if he’s overwhelmed, stressed out or trying to really concentrate for something like a test, Cato gets irritated and he doesn’t want to be forced to do something he ends up regretting, no?

He has a strong empathetic side. Forged by both how he was raised and having a distant relationship with his older brother that gradually deteriorated as the years passed, Cato is really close to relatives and friends he trusts.

If he notices something out of the ordinary, he’ll leave what he’s doing and try to investigate, though sometimes to his friends he’ll admit as a younger boy he used to do so more out of curiosity.

This is because while Cato tries his best to offer help if he sees someone in need, he used to struggle with it quite a bit, most of the time moving on while doubting if he could’ve actually ended up being helpful to them.

Especially through his first to third year of studies at Hogwarts, Cato is a rather shy boy, hence why he had trouble figuring out how to respond when he noticed a person that appeared to be in need of assistance.

He was also reluctant to take part in clubs or groups instead of running solo. In large crowds, it is easy for poor Cato to get overwhelmed, him feeling awkward and uneasy. He may be so tense that his face turns red and has a little bit of difficulty breathing. To feel better, he leaves and seeks solitude in order to calm down and let go of the tension.

Out in Quidditch though, Cato isn’t as bothered as much as he is in a big open field and flying on a broom, plus his friends and mates are out there to support him and cheer him on. The sport slowly helps him build his patience and tolerance of large crowds though he still has some reservations.

In front of his close friends and family, Cato enjoys physical affection. He loves giving and receiving hugs. He usually gives one when he feels soft, like when he is thanked by a friend or told something that makes him really happy. While touch-starved, he prefers to receive hugs from his close friends.

It took Cato some time to appreciate them because of his shyness and the pressure he faced from bullies in the early years. He was compared to his brother a lot. People either were afraid of him being a danger to the school or assumed he was “weird” like his brother to pick on him.

Training for quidditch and learning dueling helped him become stronger and gain confidence as he got older. Cato still kept his sweet and friendly, but shy demeanor. But he isn’t someone to be tousled with as he becomes strong, serious and brave when he or his friends feel threatened.

His tolerance for nonsense slowly faded away as he got older and by his seventh year he was weary of fighting R and cracking the Cursed Vaults. Cato was a bit paranoid as well as a result of R’s desperation and expecting the unexpected, though he didn’t express this much in public and kept it within his circle of friends.

Cato has a fondness for nature and he enjoys pointing out the wonderful things he sees if he is in a good mood. He also loves talking about his hobbies and his days as a kid before entering Hogwarts.

He finds family in his friends and appreciates them very much as he didn’t have many friends before his first year. Not just his older brother drifting away from him. Cato’s parents also kept him busy with homeschooling and helping in the restaurant to teach him responsibilities.

Cato may seem shy and not the type to be engaged for long periods of time. But with patience and dedication, he can end up one of the most loyal and trusted friends one can have.

Favorites

Color: blue

Food: bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich

Drink: iced coffee with cream and sugar

Weather: clear with blue skies, no too hot or cold, preferably no humidity

Hobbies: photography, reading, history,

Fashion: Simple, but Cato tends to wear clothes that match due to his mum. He prefers colors like mint green that are light, but not too bland or boring. Sometimes he wears a jean jacket that Penny got him as a birthday gift on cooler days. However Cato also developed a soft spot for the color purple. In the summer, he mostly wears shorts, being one for balancing practicality with style.

Relationships

Penny Haywood (wife)

Cato first met Penny in his first year after he won against Merula in a duel, albeit an unsanctioned one. Running late on their way to their next class, Rowan dared Cato to race them to Charms, the one making it to the door first before the bell rang being the winner. He was catching up to Rowan when he tripped and fell in the corridor.

They stopped when they heard him fall and asked if they were okay, but was forced to leave and enter the classroom when the bell rang so as to not be late.

A pretty Hufflepuff girl had seen everything and approached Cato after his fall. She helped him up and returned his books to him. Although Cato was usually a shy boy, his recent victory instilled a little bit of confidence in him. The corridor was also empty except for him and the girl.

She introduced herself as Penny and told him how he was becoming famous for standing up to Merula’s tyranny. Used to living a quiet humble life and not having many friends, Cato was really doubtful. He stuttered as he tried to explain that he was just trying to help Ben.

Penny told him that she was impressed with his bravery and compassion too, even offering to introduce him to her friends in Hufflepuff. Cato reluctantly accepted, knowing inside that he was fed up with getting picked on. He appreciated that someone validated that he did the right thing after getting in trouble with Snape, losing house points as a consequence of the duel.

As young Cato was intimidated by the tall Potions Master who watched his apothecary like a crow, he was glad to have a friend that was skilled in potions. He and Penny became great friends. She helped him study potions and even feel less intimidated by Snape.

This friendship eventually developed into romantic feelings in their third year, when Penny helped Cato escape an overcrowded Three Broomsticks. She didn’t confess her feelings to him until after the summer.

They had their first kiss during the Celestial Ball in their fourth year. Tensions arose between them in their fifth year when Penny’s younger sister Beatrice was trapped in a portrait early in the term.

She, driven by stress and anxiety, desperately tried to find a way to communicate and free her sister, even brewing a calming draught when that didn’t work. Cato was disappointed in Penny. She knew as a potions expert that experimenting with NEWT-level potions recipes without instructions or supervision was very dangerous.

He understood that Bea in danger impaired Penny’s normal thought process. She became desperate to help her. Eventually Bea was freed after the Portrait Vault was defeated, but the trap had consequences affecting her into her second year.

Although Penny in her sixth year had to deal with a strained bond with Bea as a result of the trap’s effects on her mind and how it affected her relationship with friends and family, she shared her feelings with Cato that they were growing weary of having their lives gripped by drama and dated in secret.

They found comfort in finding secluded places around the castle and grounds where they could spend time in private and vent out grievances they had about the matters happening around the school without anyone listening in on them.

Cato and Penny agreed together their kids should not have to go through the hardships they had to face as children and later teens.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Cato and Penny moved into a flat in London. She trained as a potioneer while he took courses to become an Auror. The two soon were engaged and got married in 1995.

A year later, they joined the Order of the Phoenix to help their friends in the war against Voldemort and the Death Eater Menace, fighting in the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998. Following the war, Cato and Penny had two sons.

He eventually retired from Auror work in 2002 and became a healer at St. Mungo’s Hospital For Magical Maladies and Injuries. This was to provide a more stable life for his family. Penny as a potioneer also joined him and Chiara to work together with him at the hospital.

Rivals

Merula Snyde

One of the bullies that targeted Cato in his first year, not just for his brother being expelled but how being a “shy Ravenclaw wimp who just can’t suck up the blame” made her think he was a pushover.

A rivalry boiled between him and Merula after he defeated her in an unsanctioned duel. She swore to never be defeated again, and trained harder, even reaching out to Diego to tutor her. Still, Cato continued to beat her in display of his prowess.

He practiced together with his friends while Merula, wanting to be the “most powerful witch at Hogwarts” did so mostly alone and sparred together with others less often. She tried to frame him for the theft of potion ingredients from Professor Snape’s office but underestimated his intelligence and ended up getting caught herself.

Eventually the rivalry died down after year three as Merula grew tired of always getting the same result no matter how hard she tried. For a change, she focused more on her studies and trying to make up with those she bullied, realizing that her attachment to her parents imprisoned in Azkaban was doing no good for her life.

As they matured, Merula and Cato ended up becoming good friends, both done with having their school lives being consumed by drama and letting go of their tolerance for nonsense shenanigans.

She even helped him study for his NEWTs in his seventh year since Cato was prone to becoming tired and falling asleep under the pressure to excel in his exams. He also ignored the senseless gossip and rumors that consumed the everyday conversations of most students.

Patricia Rakepick

Cato was first acquainted with Madam Rakepick in his fourth year. She was hired by Dumbledore to aid in the investigation of the Cursed Vaults. Under Ministry pressure, he sought her as a professional because of concerns of leaving it up to students to protect Hogwarts. The headmaster knew Cato and his friends were the only hope to keep the school safe from the curses. Although he could not risk losing his positions at Hogwarts, the Ministry, nor the International Confederation of Wizards.

He admired Rakepick’s talent and prestige as a world-class curse breaker. She also had a niffler named Sickleworth that Cato loved to play with. They bonded while her caretaker let him borrow him for a little while. They were both sad to say goodbye when Rakepick wanted Sickleworth back. Inside, he had a gut feeling that something was off about Rakepick. Snape shared this and gave him a Garroting Gas to use in case she validated his suspicions.

In his fifth year, the curse-breaker accepted a job offer as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. She was the best teacher that Cato ever had in the subject. He respected and looked up to her as one. Without the school or his friends’ knowledge, he was drafted by her as one of her apprentices to break into the Portrait Vault.

Cato’s opinion on Rakepick changed one day. He came across the Marauder’s Map and showed it to her out in the training grounds. They noticed a marker that was zipping suspiciously fast across the map. Cato was suspicious that she wanted to take the map from him. He swiped the map off the table and put it in his robe before the professor could grab it. He then drew his wand and confronted Rakepick, telling her he knew he was up to now good.

Instead of a duel, she responded his challege by asking him to meet her in her classroom after the lesson the next day. Rakepick intentionally destroyed Cato’s first wand as a threat to not further mess with her.

Inside the portrait vault, Cato was shocked when Rakepick abruptly cased the Cruciatus Curse on Merula. He knew she was suspicious but had no idea she could be this nasty.

Cato was the most infuriated he had been in his entire life. He shouted “You, destructive, selfish, two-timing monster!” He prepared to throw the Garroting Gas. “Rakepick, you’ll suffer eternal damnation for your disregard for human life!” He tossed the vial at Rakepick.

The explosion released Merula from the curse and incapacitated the rogue. She uttered to the group “Bloody hell! How could you snot-nosed brats do this to me? The rogue curse-breaker then confessed to manipulating and kidnapping Cato’s brother after he got kicked out of school. She told him that Alex was her slave in hunting for the vaults. Rakepick had used Cato’s brother to draw blame away from herself, hence why he got expelled. She turned to Cato and made him her apprentice in the hopes of recruiting him for R.

One of the reasons why Rakepick was forthcoming was that she was not entirely loyal to R. She, not content with her fame as a curse-breaker, joined them for her own motives of power and fortune. She didn’t say it, but she was also impressed at the abilities of Cato and his friends.

Later, he would suspect she also opened up in an attempt to discourage anyone from trying pursue her, knowing what she was capable of. The curse-breaker was good at impressions and boasting about her accomplishments. She then proclaimed “This is not over! R will succeed and you all will pay for this costly mistake!” before apparating out of the room.

Rakepick had escaped, but she was now known as a wanted person. Cato’s sixth year would be spent trying to keep up with his studies while trying to keep Hogwarts and his friends safe from her.

Eventually, she would be corned in the Sunken Vault. After a hard-fought, wicked duel, she was laying on the cold floor, exhausted and out of fight. Cato chose to leave her for Moody and his aurors to pick up. She deserved to face justice for her crimes.

Trivia

Cato loves to bake. He learned it when he helped out at his mother’s restaurant in their village. While at Hogwarts he sometimes honed his skills and made cookies for him and his friends to enjoy. He sometimes asked them to give him feedback on them so that the next batch would be better. During a food poison scare in his fifth year, Cato volunteered in the kitchens for a while and occasionally did so in his final two years to help escape stress and drama for a bit.

His favorite things to take pictures of are amazing sights in nature, mostly the sunset. One of Cato’s most prized possessions is a color photo of the sun setting over the castle that he got from Chiara as a gift for helping her clear up her anxieties about her being the monster attacking a student and going through her transformation phase when she gave all of her Wolfsbane to Lupin. Cato still had the photo after graduation and had it framed to preserve it.

To try to help with his socializing and overcome his anxieties, Cato frequently volunteered in the hospital wing. His time spent there also aided in building his empathy and compassion as a teen. The skills and experience gained also helped Cato when he was hired as a Healer at St. Mungo following his retirement in curse-breaking.

In Quidditch, Cato was a chaser for the Ravenclaw team. He went by the nickname “Wingbear” during games and while at practice.

He has some knowledge of the German language from his grandparents from his father’s side. They live in a small seaside town in Southern England. In the summers before he went to Hogwarts, Cato’s parents sometimes took him there to visit the beach for a few days. They stayed at the grandparent’s house, and that is how Cato learned some of the language. Sometimes he’d study it a little at Hogwarts when he was free too.

The Reese family lived in a spacious English Tudor style house atop a hill. It was named Mount Ridgetop by the previous owner. The family kept it when they moved in there out of gratitude. The house was built by Muggles for an elderly wizarding couple who lived successful lives in the United States. They sold it to the Reese family to pay for their upcoming funerals, later moving in with relatives where they would enjoy their final days.

MAGIC

Wand Description/Picture: English Oak, Veela Hair

[A wand for good times and bad, this is a friend as loyal as the wizard who deserves it. Wands of English oak demand partners of strength, courage and fidelity. Less well-known is the propensity for owners of English oak wands to have powerful intuition, and, often, an affinity with the magic of the natural world, with the creatures and plants that are necessary to wizardkind for both magic and pleasure. The oak tree is called King of the Forest from the winter solstice up until the summer solstice, and its wood should only be collected during that time (holly becomes King as the days begin to shorten again, and so holly should only be gathered as the year wanes. This divide is believed to be the origin of the old superstition, ‘When his wand’s oak and hers is holly, then to marry would be folly,’ a superstition that I have found baseless). It is said that Merlin’s wand was of English oak (though his grave has never been found, so this cannot be proven).]

For the attractive MC ask, mine has to be nothing more than our sweet vampy baby Bat! I absolutely love his blossoming friendship with Atticus and the uncle-nephew bond he has with my boy Danny! Danny really adores Bat and Atticus, and he always looks up to them at Hogwarts! Also, I'd like to give a shout out to Carey-bear! We've never talked much about her friendship with Cato, but we know they love to bake together, especially when they made cookies in secret for Christmas in their fifth year!🥺💙💚

So much Bat love, my heart!! <3 Ahem, but yes, Batticus brings me way too much joy -- I know Atticus’s mun @cursebreakerfarrier feels similarly. Goddamn it, why do these two make me want to draw so much when I have so many other unfinished projects already on my plate?! And GAH, DANNY! I swear, I already love that Uncle Bat not only has another unofficial family member (*eyes Adelia, Teddy, and the Selwyn-Ellisons out the side of her eye*), but that surrogate nephew being one as sweet as Danny who both is on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team like Bat was back in the day and ends up eventually replacing his pal Grim when he retires?? Just...my heart! 💙

Life before Hogwarts:

Before School, Samantha lived with her Parents in Ireland, till obe day death eaters break into their house and killed Samantha mother claire. Both woman were alone at home and Samantha was forced to see her mother dying. When her family arrived, Matthew totally snaped and killed almost every Death eater. Her Aunt Hel and Uncle Andrew got badly injured, but both took the blame for Matthews acting so he has not go to Askaban.

After that she turned back to her father and never spoje with Angela again. But she still see Jack as her brother.

---------------------------

Life as adult:

After school, Samantha distance herself from almost all her friends because of her break up with Charlie. She start her training with Tonks and Talbott as Auror after School. But since she is a half Vampire, she got an job offer which she cannot say no. The ministry forced her to work as a ghost agent, but she had to keep her identity a secret like her colleagues from this Departement. She wear a Dragon mask. Officially, she worked in the magical law enforcement department till the Death Eaters took over the ministry. She and the other half-beings had to go into hiding, that's why Samantha stayed most of the time with Charlie in Romania after they become a couple again. At the battle of Hogwarts she fights against the death eaters and saw how Harry Potter defeated Lord Voldemort. After that she help to rebuild the school. Meanwhile, the Minister of Magic found out about the Ghost Agence and put it to an end. So her friends discovered Samantha was a Ghost Agent as well.

The new Headmaster of Hogwarts, McGonagall offered her a job as DADA teacher, which Samantha except. Since that day she is teacher at Hogwarts and known for her unsual way of teaching. She is a Fan of practise lesson and so the students have at least one das per Week, where they have more a Sport lesson than normal school.

💻 Desktop/Laptop/iPad/other

☠ Something that angers you

so much. i’m literally a tiny, concentrated hall of rage at this point tbh

but the one thing that never fails to get me angry like anything else is when someone is just rude for no reason at all

🐷 Junk food you can never get enough of

reese’s peanut butter cups. i can eat them until i physically make myself sick, and it’s a real problem😂

also, mozzarella sticks are another vice for me. i can never say no to them.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ABIA

HAPPY EXTREMELY LATE BDAY TO MY GIRL ABIA! Bro, it took me ages to finish because test week showed up, then came procrastination and burn out, and then a death in a family (won't go into details cause privacyy)

AND IT ALL CAME RIGHT AS ABIA’S BDAY DID, SO I GOT UNLUCKY AS HELL 😭

But that aside! I did something very different this time for Abia’s birthday. Or, as a matter of fact, we did something different. I did an art collab with my good ol friend @kunihin-art! It’s why the artstyle looks so different 👌

I also took this as the perfect opportunity to add in Abia’s confirmed MC friends Rin (@krinkitori) and Cato (@catohphm) because I really wanted to draw them for a long time. If I ever was in the mood, I might draw them in more future works, but test week is still ongoing. Since I recently got the motivation to draw again and got dragged back into the pit of HPHM (which I left for a bit if you haven’t noticed), I might experiment with more artstyles.

(Since her bday was on Valentine’s day, I put some love letters on the table too, killing two birds with one stone lol)

And the sketch since it was gorgeous- 😩💖

Sorry for dying on y’all, hope this is enough to revive me 💀

I’LL RESPOND TO YOUR MESSAGES NOW I PROMISE-

#hphm #abia khouri #rinkitori kirinto phan #cato reese #Harry potter hogwarts mystery #birthday art #hp hogwarts mystery #hphm mc #hphm mcs #other mcs #abia #rin #cato #YAY FINALLY FINISHED AH

"Rowan, can books fly?"

"What if every star in the sky represents a soul that departed from the world? I wouldn't mind ending up there"

Nationality: British

✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦

In front of the students of Hogwarts, she's the infamous curse breaker; a person not to be messed with. But in the eyes of her friends, she's the silliest and idiotic Ravenclaw known to kind. A girl with a dark past but huge ambitions, a sharp mind and a knack for attracting trouble, she's a chaotic person. But will she be able to find her brother and save Hogwarts?

✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦

Personality:

Brilliant: although she can be a tad bit daft at times, she's rather smart, and can solve problems quite efficiently. If she understands the concept, nothing can stop her.

Stubborn: she's pretty adamant when she wants to achieve something. She doesn't stop until she reaches her goal. It comes as both a blessing and a curse

Sarcastic: she can hurt you when she wants to. Her sarcasm is rather brutal, and she always regrets saying anything rude. She really doesn't filter what she says before saying it.

Musically talented: she can sing, and play many instruments, including the guitar, piano, saxophone, flute and drums

Short tempered: she really can't control her anger. She gets pissed off rather easily and it gets on everyone's nerves. It's all a part of her defense mechanism

Kind: she's the person who acts like a bitch but actually cares for you, and looks out for you. Don't worry, she's got your best interests at heart

✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦

What are her likes?

chocolate, cinnamon rolls, her Ravenclaw jumper, astronomy, her friends, coffee, old books, reading Shakespeare, singing, playing music, dueling, messing around with Tonks, Tulip and Jae, and sleeping

What are her dislikes?

being woken up, strawberries, Tonks eating her special banana ketchup sandwich, dungbombs, Mrs. Norris the dumb cat, when someone tears a page out of a book, and History of Magic

Where does she live?

Tonks Cottage, London, with Nymphadora, Andromeda and Ted

✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦

Appearance:

Hair colour: Black

Eye colour: grey

Skin Tone: pale

Height: 6'0

Weight: 118 lbs

Build: thin and lanky with a slight slouch. She eats a lot of junk food but it doesn't show because of her "good metabolism"

Aesthetic: astronomical, academia and grunge (?)

Inventory: her wand, a half eaten bag of chocolate chips, a old family heirloom time turner (that's rather faulty), black finger-less gloves and Moonshine the baby kneazle

Face Claim: Steffy Argelich

✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦

Magic

1st wand: Ash wood, 12 1/2 inches, phoenix feather core, great for transfiguration, nice and swishy

The ash wand cleaves to its one true master and ought not to be passed on or gifted from the original owner, because it will lose power and skill. This tendency is extreme if the core is of unicorn. Old superstitions regarding wands rarely bear close examination, but I find that the old rhyme regarding rowan, chestnut, ash and hazel wands (rowan gossips, chestnut drones, ash is stubborn, hazel moans) contains a small nugget of truth. Those witches and wizards best suited to ash wands are not, in my experience, lightly swayed from their beliefs or purposes. However, the brash or over-confident witch or wizard, who often insists on trying wands of this prestigious wood, will be disappointed by its effects. The ideal owner may be stubborn, and will certainly be courageous, but never crass or arrogant.

2nd wand: Ebony wood, 13 inches, dragon heartstring core, brilliant for dueling, very flexible

This jet-black wand wood has an impressive appearance and reputation, being highly suited to all manner of combative magic, and to Transfiguration. Ebony is happiest in the hand of those with the courage to be themselves. Frequently non-conformist, highly individual or comfortable with the status of outsider, ebony wand owners have been found both among the ranks of the Order of the Phoenix and among the Death Eaters. In my experience the ebony wand’s perfect match is one who will hold fast to his or her beliefs, no matter what the external pressure, and will not be swayed lightly from their purpose.

Boggart: herself, but as a death eater

Riddikulus form: being surrounded by friends, who have her back

Patronus: Black Raven

As a patronus a black raven represents knowledge, they carry intelligence and quick wit, matching perfectly with Ravenclaw. You find extreme comfort in those with intelligence and knowledge of past events, and how to handle new things calmly and with poise. You tend to have some moments of a delicate, sensitive side that comes out of them in times of fear or sadness. You tend not to always a leader, but a follower because they know that others may have more experience or wisdom than them, but if you know you are the most intelligent, knowledgeable or wise, you take the reigns and lead the way. In the same way the owner of this patronus will give up leadership, to a wiser leader, they will do the same in a multitude of different situations. Despite this, you are very brave and cunning, but in other areas, when you do take leadership, you are a strong-minded and focused leader, you never let you guard down, even if you are scared or confused. You carry an extreme amount of knowledge with you at all times, waiting to find a use in the correct situation. This patronus matched with Ravenclaw, means that you are able to think of creative and innovative ideas for the better of the team, even when you are not the leader.

Patronus memory: When Andromeda and Ted accepted her as their own daughter. She realised that she did have a family who loved her and cared for her.

Animagus: a small Black Raven

Amortentia (what they smell like): old books, chocolate, a tad bit of cinnamon, coffee and lavender

Amortentia (what they smell): a library, petrichor, grass, cinnamon, and a very strong woody cologne

✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦

Magical Abilities:

Legilimency and Occlumency:

Legilimency is the act of magically navigating through the many layers of a person's mind and correctly interpreting one's findings. A person who practices this art is known as a Legilimens. Muggles might call this "mind-reading," but practitioners disdain the term as naïve. The opposite of Legilimency is Occlumency, which is used to shield one's mind from the invasion and influence of a Legilimens.

Occlumency is the act of magically closing one's mind against Legilimency. It is ancient, and has existed since medieval times.[1] It can prevent a Legilimens from accessing one's thoughts and feelings, or influencing them. A person who practices this art is known as an Occlumens.

Favourite spells: Bombarda, Legilimens, Expecto Patronum, Reducto

✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦

Organizations joined: Hogwarts, Circle of Khanna, The Order of The Phoenix

Apprenticeships: worked as an intern at the Ministry of Magic for a while, and helped Madam Pomfrey in the Hospital Wing with Chiara

Extra curricular activities: Keeper of the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team, sometimes tutors first years

✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦-✦

Relationships:

Fuck her blood family, she's a part of the Tonks family now

Edward "Ted" Tonks

He might not be her father, but he sure is her dad. Muggle born Ted taught Ammie how to mess around with muggle tools, and introduced her to muggle movies and other random trinkets. He thinks of Ammie as his own daughter, and was the one who taught her how to ride a bicycle

Andromeda "Meda" Tonks (née Black)

Andromeda took in her niece when she had nowhere to go, treated her like family, and protected her from all sorts of danger. Provided love, care and support to Ammie during her traumatizing times. She was considered as a blood traitor, but that didn't stop her from saving her little niece

Nymphadora "Dora" Tonks

Ammie's sister, and best friend. Stood by her side for everything and supported her all the way. Provided comic relief and loves Ammie to death. With a stupid sense of humor, and a knack for creating mischief, she's Ammie's most beloved person

Jacob Black

The one who started it all. The idiot who got himself stuck in a portrait. All of this garbage began with him, and Ammie never lets him forget it. Very protective of his little sister and hates everyone for some reason

Misc family members: Sirius Black, Regulus Black, Walburga Black, Orion Black.

Friends: Rowan Khanna, Ben Copper, Bill Weasley, Penny Haywood, Nymphadora Tonks, Talbott Winger, Badeea Ali, Tulip Karasu, Jae Kim, Chiara Lobosca, Charlie Weasley, Barnaby Lee, and Liz Tuttle
