[ Full Character Name: ] Louise “Lulu” Bijou Shapiro-Feret
[ Character Gender: ] Female
[ Birthday: ] December
[ Age/Year: ] 15/Fifth
[ House: ] Ravenclaw
[ Hometown: ] Altea, Spain
[ Current Town: ] Lhanbryde, Scotland
[ Height: ] 5'9"
[ Hair: ] Curly, white-blonde ringlets, shoulder-length.
[ Eyes: ] Navy blue, bordering on cadet blue.
[ Estate: ] Living in Scotland, there was a wide real estate market open for business when Honorine was pregnant with Louise. Rollicking hills and lush valets decorated the Scottish landscape. However, Vito, Honorine, and six-year-old Marisol moved into a quaint two-story brick house with a turret and a solid wood fence surrounding the front and back yards. The plot of land is luckily grassy and fertile, giving way to Honorine’s old fondness planting various flowers and other plants. Louise’s room is the uppermost room, in the turret, which she is extremely fond of. The turret’s walls are made up nearly entirely of windows, except one cork panel, which takes away the need for wallpaper maintenance. The master suite is on the first floor, as are the laundry room and library. The second floor includes the kitchen, guest room, and private bathroom. Rabbits come and go as they please in the backyard, as Louise, Vito, and Honorine have little need for it, and Marisol no longer lives in Lhanbryde.
[ Dad: ] Vito Leocadio Shapiro, age 46. A quiet man, Vito dislikes conflict or dysfunction, instead preferring peace and order. When complications arise, he prefers to stay out of it father than work it all out. However, he cares deeply for both of his daughters, no one outshining the other in his eyes. Although he is a tad disconnected, both his daughters love him very much. He works at Flourish and Blotts and so Apparates to work every day. He was a Ravenclaw when he went to Hogwarts, despite being born and raised in Spain.
[ Mom: ] Honorine Yvonne Shapiro nee Feret, 44 and still stunning. Her statuesque figure is the reason Marisol and Louise turned out so well looks-wise. It’s also the reason why she never worked a day in her life. She is more likely to kick up a fuss about one grain of rice than do something about her sloth. In life, Honorine had everything handed to her on a silver platter, including her marriage. Pregnancy suited her, and her figure is still amazing after two children. She never worried about anyone other than herself, excepting the appearance and seemliness of her husband and children. She is a stay-at-home mother, you could say, and an alumna of Beauxbatons.
[ Sister: ] Marisol Antoinette Shapiro-Quinsen, is engaged to her longtime boyfriend at the tender age of 21. Her parents think that might be a bit young, but she is of age and has complete liberty to do whatever she wants. As a student at Hogwarts, she was every bit the Ravenclaw: smart, witty, clever, creative, kind, musical…the list went on and on. She was, of course, a prefect and a wonderful Keeper for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. Pretty, too, with a willowy figure, flowing copper hair, and bright blue eyes- closer to a sky blue than Louise’s navy. All this made Louise the secondhand sister, much to her dismay.
[ Pet: ] Anastasia, a sleek ginger Least Weasel, is the perfect match for Louise. When someone made up the oft-repeated statement, “Opposites attract,” they must have been thinking of Louise and Anastasia. A tiny but pugnacious animal, Anastasia has no issues with defending herself when the least amount of danger or irritation comes her way, which in turn gives her charm in the eyes of Louise, who herself would prefer to bottle up any conflict she has.
[ Father’s Father: ] Odalis Rogelio Shapiro
[ Father’s Mother: ] Estela Adelina Naran-Shapiro
[ Mother’s Father: ] Aime Jacque Feret
[ Mother’s Mother: ] Colleen Sophie Peti-Feret
[ Wand: ] Willow and Augurey feather, 11 inches.
[ Patronus: ] Least Weasel
[ Quidditch Position: ] None, as she’s terrified of being more than a few feet off the ground at most after she was the guinea pig in one of Marisol’s many Transfiguration projects.
[ Broom: ] None.
[ Physical Character Description: ] Louise is very pretty to the naked eye: on the tall side, with her legs contributing to most of her height. She has beautiful wheat-coloured locks that brush her face every time she moves, and deep-set, thoughtful eyes. Her gentle but sturdy hands with rounded square nails accent her smooth porcelain skin. Very pink lips hide straight teeth. Her main imperfections are too-small ears, crooked nose and way-too-small size-three feet. Abnormalities that were quite obvious when one got near her, but Louise didn’t mind. They distinguished her from others, and showed that she wasn’t an unreal airbrush.
[ Personality Character Description: ] Louise has, to put it bluntly, a Percy complex. She is the second-born child in a family of four, and takes after neither her father nor her mother in personality, rather being subconsciously influenced by her older sister. She strives to be the best at everything and anything she does, but it’s not obvious straight away. She takes time out of her personal life (or lack thereof) to make sure she does the very best possible.
She takes her life very seriously, seeking authenticity in her relationships with others. She looks for friends that understand her and look for more than a pretty face and a good snog. In her experience, she’s gotten along better with boys than girls because girls tend to want to talk about their feelings and keep grudges, whereas males fight externally, so she never had to try to hide her real feeling- because honestly, the guys didn’t care. She could easily tolerate friendly teasing, but the second someone tried to seriously insult her or feel her up: “I don’t think so.”
Lulu enjoys wet, rainy days, when the clouds are out covering the sky. Her loathing of sunshiny days stems from her irrefutable logic, “There are only so many layers of clothing you can take off before going totally starkers.” She likes to take walks in the rain because she finds them peaceful, and being alone outdoors makes it easier to think.
Louise hates the spotlight, but also hates being totally ignored. She would rather be the director than be onstage or in the audience. She’s an extreme ambitious, and a definite stickler for the rules. A career in the Ministry of Magic would just about make her have a nervy spaz in happiness. At the time of her third year, when new subjects began cropping up, she began to show a small streak of self-importance, as she kept getting top marks. She takes her studies very seriously, even to this day. Her favourite book is Prefects Who Gained Power.
She isn’t looking too hard for love, especially since most of her friends are boys, but would be open to anything that came her way. Although not a fan of prissy-girl magazines, she takes quizzes almost daily to try and find out who she is and why she seems to repel people so easily. She has a relatively slow temper and has good control of her emotions, so doesn’t see why this is so.
Lulu’s favourite colour is cornflower blue, close to her eye colour, and when she’s not in her Ravenclaw garb, she’ll usually wear a gold-bronze colour matched with royal pink, and cornflower. She dislikes wearing red (too bright), yellow (too stoplight), green (makes her look like a stalk of asparagus), or brown (…self explanatory).
Louise’s best subject is Herbology, even though it’s supposedly a “Hufflepuff” class. She’s easy with the plants and readily understands and learns new things about her surroundings. She loves the plants, even the poisonous or dangerous ones, and is great and handling them. A definite Ravenclaw, she was Sorted as such because her main traits were her goal-setting and hardworking-ness, and the fact that schoolwork and such always came first to ensure her place in the Wizarding World as an adult.
[ History: ] She got her nickname, Lulu, when her sister tested out several charms on her all at once. The combination made her loopy as hell for several weeks, and didn’t do much to further Marisol’s life anyway.
[ RP Sample: ] Louise peeked out of her room, looking both ways. Her feet patted down the white shag carpet as she walked down the stairs into the hallway. A pink silk sarong tied over her head gave her a pirate look, jingling because of the strands of coins and beads attached to the edges. She slid into the warm library, her loose socks skidding now and then on the shiny hardwood flooring. Already wearing her school cloak, tie, and vest, she hopped, twirled, and spun around the room, her nose stuck firmly in Prefects Who Gained Power. Loose athletic shorts aside, Louise sang out loudly, “God I dreamed there was an angel/ Who could hear me through the wall/ As I cried out, like in Latin/ This is so not life at all…” Jumping off her father’s large leather armchair, she stuck her head out the doorway, making sure no one was around. She jumped back in the chair, sitting down and humming contentedly to herself.

[ Birthday: ] September 13
[ Age/Year: ] 15/Fifth
[ Hometown: ] Mir, Belarus- birthplace
[ Current Town: ] Kirkwall, Ireland
[ Height: ] 5'6"
[ Hair: ] Unruly, long, darkened-fire-truck-red
[ Eyes: ] Cornflower blue; plain black glasses (nearsighted)
[ Dad: ] Ciar Marion du Marquis, age 41. Ciar works at the Ministry in the Goblin Liaison Department but spends a lot of time at home, taking care of his younger kids while Demeter works full-time. Slytherin when he was a student at Hogwarts.
[ Mom: ] Demeter Analea Hampton-du Marquis, age 38. She is a Muggleborn Ravenclaw alumna who has worked for the last two years overseas full-time as the successor to her mother, Anestasia Geneva Brooks-Hampton,’s Muggle job in Australia.
[ Brothers: ] • Anatoliy Jasper du Marquis, a second year Ravenclaw, is very shy and extremely vulnerable to peer pressure. He is highly influenced by and has many of the same problems as Anasazi (namely, self-esteem issues and quietness).
• Neil Sebastieen du Marquis, three years old, barely knows how to speak. He is a fairly reasonable toddler, however, and generally well-behaved except when Anasazi handles him, where he cries to no end.
[ Sister: ]
• Anita Nuria du Marquis, five years old, is the sweetest youngster ever. Already studying magic with her father, she adores Anasazi and Ciar to no end, and acts as a little boss towards Neil (and Anatoliy, for that matter).

[ Physical Character Description: ] Anasazi is a little heavier than most girls, but wears it well. Her shoulders are one of her best features, as they are tan and freckled. Strong legs and arms with light hair give her a broad kind of look. She has average-sized feet and her hands are on the small side, nails extremely short but usually painted.
[ Personality Character Description: ] She is kind of unsure of herself, but she doesn’t show it often. Because of this, she has abysmal self-esteem and insecurities, which carried on with her through her childhood, and now, as a teenager, she tries her best to keep her siblings from that same fate. She wouldn't help just anyone that came trotting along asking for a favour, and some say she would be just as well off in Slytherin. She is as bothered by this as she would be if they said the same about Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, which is saying something. There is no place else she'd rather be than Hufflepuff, which makes her one of Hufflepuff House's prides and joys.
[ History: ] Born in Mir, Belarus, Anasazi’s parents picked up and left to go live in Kirkwall when Anatoliy was newly born and when Anasazi was three. She befriended the bathroom ghost Myrtle in her first year and remains the transparent girl’s main friend.
[ RP Sample: ] Anasazi opened the door to the History of Magic room. She poked her head in and looked to see if anyone was inside the…abandoned room. She heard some sniffles from behind Professor Binns’ desk and dropped her book on a desk in the back as she tiptoed to the front of the room. She stretched over the top of the desk, disregarding all papers. Gasping at the sight of her younger brother Anatoliy crouched underneath the desk, she inhaled sharply and bit her lip, debating whether or not to do anything. She ripped out a page from her book, wrote him a little note, and decided to leave it at that.

[ Character Gender: ] Female
[ Birthday: ] April 7
[ Age/Year: ] 13/Third
[ Hometown: ] Leighlinbridge, Republic of Ireland
[ Current Town: ] Ballycastle, Northern Ireland
[ Height: ] 5'4"
[ Hair: ] Has naturally crazy-wavy dark brown hair. A violently lilac streak in the longest part of her bangs stands out most about her otherwise boring appearance.
[ Eyes: ] Her celery-green eyes are large and bright, flecked with dark chocolate brown.
[ Dad: ] Leo Aldrin Esean, age 42 at death. Now deceased due to the first rise and fall of the Dark Lord, he had once been in the ranks of Death Eaters. Leo had never addressed Eloel as a lesser, a daughter, but as a companion, an equal, with as much love as given to his spouse. He used to teach her, and Eloel continually misses him. He was an alumnus of Slytherin.
[ Mom: ] Juliana Maree Moran-Esean, 40, is a stay-at-home mother and journalist for Witch Weekly, a usual contributor to the gossip section, as she tends to have a socialite-like nature. Attentive and generally a pleasant person, Juliana was placed into Ravenclaw house when she attended Hogwarts; has hazel eyes and auburn-red hair.
[ Brothers: ] Sammy Andre Esean, 15, and Luke Mario Esean, also 15, are twins in their fifth year. Their random and reckless but caring nature placed them into Gryffindor house.
[ Sisters: ] Alyssa Monique Esean, 14, and Olivia Jessica Esean, also 14, are the second set of twins in the Esean family. Alyssa was placed in Ravenclaw for her perfectionist nature and Olivia in Hufflepuff for her strong desire to care for others above all else.

[ Mother’s Mother: ] Grace Mhairi Keogh-Moran
[ Wand: ] Hawthorn and thestral hair, 9 ¾ inches
[ Patronus: ] Meerkat
[ Quidditch Position: ] None
[ Broom: ] Moontrimmer
[ Physical Character Description: ] Eloel is small and light, fairly speedy. Her hair is unbearably curly and wavy and straight all at once, until she finds the time and patience to straighten it. Her eyebrows are shapely and her eyes stand out against her otherwise fair appearance. Her light skin burns easily in the sun, so she has many freckles and an uneven tan line. She has small hands and feet. Her cheeks are fairly round and have a happy look about them. Her small nose and pink mouth add some colour to her pale skin.
[ Personality Character Description: ] Snarky and sarcastic, Eloel’s serious and sensitive nature placed her in Slytherin house, where her father had been in his days at Hogwarts. Eloel is aggressive and argumentative, quick to lash out at the slightest movement in her direction, She generally cares to be alone with a book outside when it is rainy and cloudy, but does enjoy the company of others. Her quiet determination focuses her mind.
[ History: ] Born and raised in Ireland, Eloel’s father died when she was young. She still remembers him, but never talks about it even though it still hurts.
[ RP Sample: ] Eloel could not nearly contain the peals of laughter threatening to escape her throat despite however hard she tried. A loud snort emitted from her nose as she gasped for breath, trying to regain her composure before she gave in completely to the tempting urge.
"This..." she whispered to no one in particular, breathing deeply, "is... the most... phenomenally hilarious... thing I have witnessed... so far."
Her mind flitted from the previous conversation topic of Quidditch, to the practice match that she may or may not have missed a few nights before. Charms Club and multiple other academic distractions prevented her from checking the bulletin board for a new practice and sometimes even from being on the field at all, which was a clear disadvantage on her part.
