Name: Tobias Raisel (Heh heh, I'm overusing the last name, I have a lot of characters with it...)
Age: 14
House: Ravenclaw
Wand: Deep Hyren Heartstring and Redwood, 11 inches. The outside is
colored blue to match the Deep Hyren scale, which is magically secured
to the wand itself, is dark blue but when light hits it the scale shines
a brilliant sapphire.
The wand is very unusual. Tobias tried hundreds of wands but none
fit him. There was an imported wand which was delivered to the wand
shop. It was unusual (Like the wand which had the veela's hair) but
when Tobias tried it, the wand accepted him.
(Hyrens are beasts which resemble dragons, but they are smaller.
Hyrens command elements, and the Hyren scale and heartstring which
make up the outer of Tobias' wand is a Deep Hyren, one which lives in
the deepest of waters, and can withstand the crushing pressure of the
ocean. The deep hyren has control over water.)
Picture:
Familiar: A Black owl named Shiwari (hehe, couldn't help it ^_-). He
is smaller than average, and very energetic and playful. Can sometimes
be annoying, but Tobias loves his owl all the same.
Appearance: Tobias comes from Australia. He moved to London a year before
he recieved his letter for Hogwarts. He is 5'8", somewhat tall for
someone 14 years old. He has light black hair which showers around his
face, just beyond his cheekline. The strange thing about Tobias is his
red eyes. Probably just some sort of strange Magical genetics. He has tanned
skin, a sign of his adventurous personality. His usual clothing is the school
uniform, but when not in that he likes to get into comfortable clothing that
he can move around in. He loves to have adventures, so comfortable clothing
he can run (either away from wild things he's disturbed or the teachers of
Hogwarts).
Personality: Tobias is a guy that loves to "satisfy his curiosity"... which
often lead to trouble. He is very loyal to his friends, even if it isn't
apparent by his adventureness. His forte is his talent in spells. He is an ace
in these and often understand these spells easily, so of course his favorite
subjects are Transfiguration and Defence against Dark arts, but he also understands
Charms well, but it just isn't as cool in his mind. He also takes Care For Magical
Creatures and after trying Runes for third year he decided to abandon it and go into
Divination.
The worst subjects for Tobias is Potions and History of Magic. He really is bad
at remembering facts, and also really bad about paying attention in History of Magic.
He also somehow manages to screw up somehow in most the potions he makes, but he is
somewhat ok in that field, he just needs to pay more attention and he'd be able to
make potions well. Tobias has a goal to learn every type of powerful magic there is,
and become as powerful if not more so as some of the legendary Wizards who were in
the history books.
Likes: Quidditch games, Adventures, loyal friends (He's had enough of the other kind), and lounging in the common room or outside in the shade.
Dislikes: Being confined

Name: Michiyo Hara
Name Meaning: three thousand generations; wilderness
Nicknames: Michi; Ichigo
Age: 14
House: Ravenclaw
Wand: Phoenix Feather and Redwood, 8 3/4 inches
Familiar: A reddish-brown owl named Tobu. He's miniature due to a Shrinking Charm gone wrong.
Appearance: Michiyo, as her name might suggest, is Japanese. Her looks show it, too;
she has the almond-shaped eyes and straight, jet-black hair that is common in Japan.
Her eyes aren't the brown one would expect, though. Instead, they are a clear aqua
color. She's a little on the short side, standing at only 5'5", but she's the second
tallest in her family of four(the tallest being her father). Her usual outfit is her
Hogwarts school uniform: off-white collared shirt, gray vest, charcoal pleated skirt,
and(of course) a black robe. Her tie and scarf are striped in Ravenclaw's colors: blue
and black. When she's not wearing her uniform, she likes to wear comfortable clothing
that she can move around in. A good deal of her clothing has strawberries on it, which
is why she's gained the nickname "Ichigo"('strawberry' in Japanese). Her hair goes down
to about her shoulders, and she usually braids the top layers of it into five braids.
Personality: In her childhood, Michiyo personified the typical Japanese girl: small,
sweet, and shy. However, she's quickly outgrowing this stereotype. She's pretty outgoing
and confident, though she does have her occasional moments of shyness. Her most common
expressions are a wide smile and an angry scowl; though she rarely ever cries, she does
anger a bit more easily than she'd like. She gets frustrated pretty easily, especially
over classes like Transfiguration. Classes that rely more on talent than memorization
aren't her forte. She has a certain talent for remembering minute details, but the
application of magic gives her a little more difficulty. For this reason, her favorite
classes are History of Magic and Divination. She also does fairly well in her other classes,
such as Potions, Herbology, and Defense Against the Dark Arts, because she easily memorizes
the uses of certain techniques even if she can't quite apply the technique herself.
Likes: trivia games; writing to her three-year-old brother; watching Quidditch games; strawberries
Dislikes: overly shy people; being unable to do something

Full Name: Armand August Couer de Lione
Is referred to as: Armand, August, The Frenchman, the Frog, le retard magnifique
Age: 14
House: Ravenclaw
Wand: 8" Phoenix, Mahogany
Origins: Normandy, France
Height: 5'8
Weight: 142 lbs.
Hair: Black loose curls
Eye color: Light green
Background: His family is part of a long lineage of wizards from French history. He is a
direct descendent of Mortimer Valouis Coeur de Lione, a master wizard during the age of
absolutism under Louis XIV. He was a rebel leader who helped with the overthrow of the
Bastille. (And all those peasants thought those explosions came from gunpowder). His parents
Aurora and Frederic attended Hogwarts in their youth and were engaged shortly after graduation.
Description: Fiercely intelligent and articulate, he sometimes comes across as arrogant though
it is hardly his intent. He has an unhealthy amount of pride for his country and is known for
going off on large tangents in french, however, he is naturally polite, personable and elegantly
charming. He also has a slight obsession with women. He is highly athletic, making him look quite
fit and muscular. He's currently trying out as seeker for the quidditch team. He is academically
motivated and is highly successful in his studies. Because of a nasty encounter during his
childhood with literally, a 'monster under the bed' he's jumpy at times, and paticularly fond of
defense against the dark arts. He has an owl named Montesquieu.

Name: Dominic LeBlanc
Age: 14
Height: 5'8
Weight: 132
Hometown: Athens, Greece
Wand: Dragon Heartstring 8-3/4 inches Oak
Equipment: A cauldron and a set of books according to his year.
Description:
A skinny kid with long arms and black hair with brilliant blue eyes is the first look. His hair
is typically long *eye length* and has a wet look most of the time. For class, he wears the school
uniform of black/navy pants and a collared white shirt with the sleeveless sweatshirt over. Usually
lazy and non-caring about his appearance he never buttons his wrist buttons nor tucks in his shirt
which hangs below a bit. His pants come down to his shoes, and they have plenty of length that
wrinkles at the bottom.
He wears a pair of sandals when not in class, as well as more shorts and t-shirts. Coming from
Greece and being a rather free spirit, he prefers such clothing. His most common outfit is khaki
shorts around the waist with a belt and a tight-fitting t-shirt with sandals.
Personality: One of those people who just can stand still, and finds himself in trouble because of it.
Well, he likes practical jokes and pokes fun at the teachers. He gets a "need for speed" feeling and
therefore plays a lot of Quidditch, normally going for the Chaser position. He likes the whole,
"wind-whipping-your-hair-back" sort of thing.
History: Born into an abusive household he was discovered to have magical talents young and was taken
from his parents by Dumbledore. Despite he wish to seek revenge Dumbledore looked after him over a
number of years after putting him into the hands of a wizarding family.
Strengths With all the boundless energy he has he's very fit physically and fierce determination in
sports and school.
Weaknesses Though he has magical talents it takes him a long time to get wand movements down, usually
relying on his friends to give him extra practice. He's not as much a bookworm as he is a caster so
prefers things like Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration and dispises Potions and History.
House: Ravenclaw
Class favorites: Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms are favorites over Potions and History and
such things due to practicality over bookworm-ness

Full Name: Shia Feng Hwang (**Pronounced "Sh-ye", not "She-yah")
Name Meaning: Snow Phoenix
Nickname: Shao Feng, or just Shia, (Her parents call her Neu Neu, but dont call her that, its an embarrassing nickname.)
Age: 14
Hometown: Mt. Ali-shan, Taiwan
House: Ravenclaw (>_> *sweatdrop*)
Wand: Siren's hair, redwood, 9 inches
Familiar: A grey minute owl about the size of an apple. Goes by the name of Pí-dàn. The poor
thing cant carry anything any heavier than a golf ball so most of Shia's packages(which are
relatively few) have shrinking charms on them; Otherwise a couple of family owls accompany Pí-dàn
when depositing mail.
Appearance: Shia is from Taiwan, just off the coast of mainland China, hence the straight,
shoulderlength black hair, the dark squinty brown eyes, and the tanned skin most stereotypical
chinese kids have. Small glasses frame her field of vision due to a little bit of nearsightedness,
mostly because of her habit to read in the dark. Her attire is usually a loose shirt and pants
whenever she doesn't have to wear the school uniform.
Personality: Shia is mostly considered a bookworm to the other students; often off in a corner reading
random books that she could get her hands on from the library. She's not easily noticed by other people
and likes it that way, enjoying the peace and quiet while reading her books. In class, she daydreams quite
often, but somehow manages to keep herself at the top of her class (If she didn't, her relatives would keep
sending howlers to her...._ Asians...). Whenever she's not reading, she can be found looking for a little
fun. However, trouble usually tags along when she does.
Her English is gradually getting better, but occasionally she still has problems pronouncing names with
the letter "r" in them (They often turn out to sound like "l's") Because this she does better at any subject
without incantations. However if she should choose a subject she liked, it would be Charms.
Her worst subjects, however (If you call them worse.), would be and Divination and Potions. After a year,
she has gotten to be less skeptical over the lessons, but still doesn't enjoy not being able to grasp onto
any true facts. Potions....well, lets just say she tries to make herself extra invisible in that class.
Enjoys:Reading, books, sunshine, adventure(wether in or out of books), and pumpkin pasties.
Dislikes: Thunder, too much work, sometimes her parents ------------------------------
