The Personal History[/center]
Megan considers herself to be very fortunate. Or unfortunate as some people might call that. She is a halfblood you see. Her father, Kyle Taylor, was born into an all wizard family. Unlike some families, his didn't believe in the whole pureblood nonsense. They made friends with blood traitors and muggles alike, making them instant enemies. Her mother, Allison, was a muggle. She was walking home from a late night shift in the muggle office. Two people had crossed her path and Allison was completely confused. They sprouted nonsense about 'muggles' and magic and 'purebloods' and 'for the greater good' whatever that was. The two wizards had forced Allison down an alley, where they had tortured her. They were about to kill her when a group of Aurors arrived. The first one on the scene was Kyle. He had taken an instant liking to the young woman.
The Aurors wanted to erase her memory. Kyle was heavily against it. Allison was taken to a muggle hospital. It was after she had gotten out of it that she had been introduced to the possibilities of the wizarding world. The possibilities of magic. Allison was set on the idea that magic should help her. Magic should help her get out of debt from her student loans. From a dead beat boyfriend. It should help make life better for her and her then one year old daughter Megan. Allison was a single mother. Kyle had taken a liking to the black haired girl. He found himself spending more time with them. Teaching Allison more about the wizarding world. Everything came to a grinding halt when she was laid off from her job. Megan was two. They had moved in from the worst side of the neighborhood to Kyle's manor. Megan was three and a half when Kyle had proposed. Allison accepted it tearfully.
She was five when Allison gave birth to Richard Taylor, her step brother. By this time Megan had grown use to the idea of being spoiled. She wasn't hungry. There weren't any bad influences in her life. Everything was going good. She was eight when she started showing signs of magic. She was bored at dinner and had became interested in her fork. The next thing that everyone knew the silverware was floating in midair. Megan wasn't surprised. She knew that she was more than likely a witch. She got her Hogwarts letter on her eleventh birthday much to her delight. Kyle took them to Diagon Alley to get her school supplies. It was there that she had gotten a black kitten. A black kitten that was the same color as her hair. She had named it Pounce. Kyle was surprised but he didn't let it bring her down. They had a family owl, Hermes.
That summer seemed to have gone by slow. Megan wanted to enjoy Hogwarts and go NOW! She was a bit impatient as a small child and still is today. The sight of the Hogwarts Express awed her. She got a compartment by herself. Two hours into the ride she met a group of people who would soon end up being best of friends. Alexis Beaumont, Ethan Blackwood, Kevin Miller and Katherine Leighton. The two boys were muggleborn. Alexis was a halfblood like her and Katherine was a pureblood. Her family was very much like Kyle's. Megan clearly remembers the Sorting Hat's words as she sat down on the stool.
"Hmm what do we have here? There's plenty of willingness to learn. A thirst for knowledge no doubt. There is something, deep down, that wants to prove you're not worthy. I know just where to put you at. RAVENCLAW!"
The two girls ended up joining Megan at the table. The two boys were sorted into Gryffindor. That didn't stop the group from trying to cause trouble whenever they turned. Oh no. That first few months alone was spent learning the many different short cuts and trying to remember those trick stairs. She did had a shock when the people in the portraits moved on her second day. It was in her third year when things started to change. Kyle and Allison were fighting. She had to take care of herself and Richard, who ended up in Hufflepuff. There was a time in which she was sure that her parents would end up getting a divorce. The arguments stopped short. Kyle never laid a hand on Allison. Megan was thankful that they managed to work things out. Even though the muggle marriage therapist charged a lot.
His world, their world, was never revealed. It was something that Megan was also thankful for. She developed a strong liking for Quidditch later on that year. But she never tried out for the house team. She was more content on being in the stands with the others. She tried to stay on top of her homework. There were a couple of times that she had slacked off. Her grades were less than she wanted it to be. She would pick it back up though. Megan is now in her fifth year. New laws were placed. As a halfblood she received less slack than her friends. She was still branded as a blood traitor. She tries to help her friends as much as she can.
Let's get a more inner look

Best and worst memories and boggart:
Best Memory:
The one thing that Megan uses to keep herself going is the countless hours that she spends with her friends. It's always fun filled laughter. There had been a couple of arguments but they always get resolved. Her Patronus takes the form of a Rabbit.
Worst Memory:
Her third year is, without a doubt, painful. Her parents' arguments are something that she will remember. The fear of them splitting up is something that would never go away.
Boggart:
The boggart will turn into every family member, lying there dead on the floor.
Personality:
The first two things people would notice about Megan is that she is a shy and quiet fifteen year old girl. Social gatherings aren't really her thing and she will try to avoid them at any cost. With a small group of people she will be alright. If it's a general crowd she will feel uncomfortable. She will generally prefer to seek comfort in one of her many books. She's intelligent and smart. Curious to a fault. Even if she's facing uncertain danger Megan will still be curious. Everyone would be surprised to learn that this girl can be competitive when she wants to be. She sees herself more as a follower rather than a leader. Megan doesn't think that she can take charge or take control of a situation and will generally leave that up to one of her friends. She does not take anything for granted because of her past. She pays attention to her surroundings.
She gives advice to people but she doesn't stop to think maybe she should follow her own advice. She is the type of person that scares easily. She is extremely loyal to her friends and would protect them at any costs. Her temper is something you do not want to witness. Even though she may look sweet and innocent, just don't remember to get on her bad side. Megan gets easily frustrated at every small thing. It takes a while for her to calm down. Trust is a big issue for Megan. To earn her trust it would take a while. But once you do, Megan can be a great friend in a time of need. She is a very independent young woman who knows her own mind. More often than not she is a worrier. Megan worries about the smallest of things. She can be quite blunt when the occasion calls for it. She tell it like it is. Along with that she is rational and a matter of fact person. She am an impatient person.[/size][/ul]
