001. The wand type
Dragon Heartstring and unicorn tail. 10 and a half inches, surprisingly squishy, good for Charms. Maybe Mr. Ollivander could be seeing the future or something.
002. Family
Consists of her parents and her eldest brother, Benjamin, or Ben. Sometimes Elaina affectionately refers to him as Bennie. Just to rile him up and only because she loves him to death. He is two years older than her and they're extremely close with each other. Elaina thinks that Ben is a bit overly protective of her but she still loves him all the same.
003. Pets
She only owns two pets. A black owl by the name of Minnie and a black and grey stripped kitten that had earned the clever nickname of 'Stripes'. Minnie's home is in the Owlery. Stripes is the type of cat that always follows her around no matter what.
004. Likes and Dislikes are...
Likes:
Charms, History of Magic, Muggle Fashion due to her being a pureblood, messing around with Ben, Cats, Being in Hufflepuff, Her friends and family, Singing, Jewelry both from a muggle and a witch's point of view, Reading by herself, the quiet, Mystery novels, the cold, snow
Dislikes:
The thought of something happening to her brother or anyone she loves, Potions, Loud sudden noises, Flying(you won't find her on a broom even though she loves Quidditch), Heights, Snakes, Being disorganized, Clowns, Having the grey band for a halfblood, Being targeted because of her status, Swimming(She has an unnatural fear of water)
005. Boggart
The one thing she fears the most is clowns due to having seen a couple of movie flicks with her friends and reading about them. She finds them utterly creepy.
006. Dementor
In her fourth year, Elaina was cornered by a group of Slytherins. The one person in charge? That was Nicholas. She was beaten up and they had attempted rape. The dementor would be the boys shouting and jeering. The feeling of being helpless.
007. Patronus
Her patronus is a fox. The memory associated with it are the moments spent with her brother, laughing, talking, and roughhousing.
008. Her Personality
Elaina is a sweet and friendly fifteen year old girl. She is the type of person that thrives on social outings and will generally start off a conversation with someone. She is also the type that, for a fifteen year old, will think things in an old fashioned sense of way. How a man should be towards a woman and it all comes to her mother instilling those ways in her at a young age. Warm hearted and helpful, Elaina likes to see the good in people. Reliable, a good listener, and generous are the three other personality types that people would often see in the Hufflepuff. People will often come to her with their problems and she will listen. Most often she would have advice for them. Of course, this does not mean she would yield her own advice. Quite the opposite of it. She does not like to lead people. Oh no. In fact she would prefer to be the follower. She is a generally laid back person. She tends to focus more on the fantasy side rather than reality. She can be found curled up with a good book. She is the type of person that will join in on the fun without hesitation. She can be described as the girl next door type of person. Sweet and friendly and polite are the things that people will first notice about her. She likes for everything to be clean and organized with nothing out of place.
She knows the difference from what is right and what is wrong. She doesn't like gossip and will not condemn it. Elaina is an independent young woman who knows her own mind. She isn't afraid to stand up for herself and for others. She also doesn't like it when people mess with her friends and family. Her temper, when unleashed, is quite explosive. It doesn't take that much for her temper to go off. And it also doesn't take that long for her to calm down when she is angry or upset. She tries to hide the fact that she's upset and will go to her room to cool down when she is at home. If there is one thing people are surprised to hear about Elaina is the fact that she’s a competitive person. She will try to outdo the other person just for the spotlight. She is the type of girl that can get easily offended. When faced with unpleasant feelings, she can get overwhelmed at times. There is a surprising fact to Elaina: She tries her hardest to hide it, but the fact is that she can be a bit judgmental at times. She is the girl that dislikes change. It will take her a while to settle into a new situation and a new place. Judgmental, dislike change, absentminded and a need to please others more often than her own are a few of her many faults.
009. On a cold and chilly....
Afternoon, December 2nd, 1962 to be more exact, a baby girl was born to two lovely parents. She had a brother who was two years older than she was. A brother by the name of Benjamin. When Elaina was little she had started to call him 'Bennie' because she could not pronounce his name. It was either 'Bennie' or 'Ben'. Growing up in a halfblood family it was easy to say that Elaina had the best of both worlds. From her father's side she learned how the wizarding world works. On her mother's side she learned how to be a muggle. That was especially true with her muggle cousins who were a year younger than she was. Despite that fact, Elaina had no interest in the muggle technology. She honestly preferred the wizarding ways over the muggle ways any day. Luckily, her mother was a very open woman.
010. Her first sign of magic was...
When she was eight years old. It was always around this time, experts agreed, that magic would start showing in children. She was bored at dinner time, listening to her parents talking and her brother chiming in every now and then. The next thing she knew her fork was hovering a couple of inches above the table. It didn't come as too much of a shock with everyone. It was clear that she was starting to show her powers, even controlling them which was rare for children as they were young. Benjamin had already received his letter and she was waiting for the day where she would receive hers. She was an impatient young child. The first two years that Ben had gone to school were the loneliness. She found herself spending more and more time with her cousins. With people that were close to her age.
011. Seeing Diagon Alley...
Was something that Elaina always loved. She made it a habit to tag along whenever Ben would get his letter. A few days after her eleventh birthday the family had gone along. Towards the end of the trip Elaina had begged and begged her father for a pet. Much to his amusement, he had surrendered when he saw her best puppy dog look. Elaina had a hard time trying to choose between a cat and an owl. She got both. A black owl by the name of Minnie and a black and grey stripped kitten that had earned the clever nickname of 'Stripes'. Minnie's home is in the Owlery. Stripes is the type of cat that always follows her around no matter what.
012. The train ride and the sorting ceremony....
The sight of the Hogwarts Train had always managed to take her breath away. This was a little bit different at the fact that, FINALLY, she was able to hop inside. She had tagged along with her brother who had said nothing but he was smiling. She met his friends who she thought were alright. Her name was called up to the sorting ceremony. She had butterflies at which house she would be sorted into. Elaina had her fingers crossed, praying she was going to be with Ben. She sat on the stool for several minutes. The Hat was having a hard time deciding between either Hufflepuff or Gryffindor. She had the characteristics for both houses. But Hufflepuff was the most dominant. And that was where she had ended up in. Elaina wanted to argue with the blasted hat. She wanted to be with her brother!
013. The first year...
was spent learning the ropes around Hogwarts. Who to hang out with, who to avoid. It was mainly the Slytherins and the purebloods that she had to be weary of. It did take her a while to get use to the routine. At least she was able to see Ben and spend a little time with him. Nothing really interesting happened during that year. Elaina always had a fear of heights. She had fallen off her broom the first flying class and vowed never to touch or go near one again. She was that stubborn. The next two years went by uneventful and quiet as Elaina had established a normal routine.
014. Her fourth year...
Can honestly be said it was an interesting year. She had changed throughout the first few years and started looking at boys in a new light. It was much to the displeasure of her brother. A boy caught her eye. A boy by the name of Ryan Taylor. He was a year older than her and in the same house. She fell in love with him. Ryan was a pureblood but his family was deemed blood traitor. Nicholas Grey, one of his closest friends, loathed Elaina. It was bad enough that he was also in the same house. It was something that she had told no one. Not even her brother. She did not want someone to get hurt on her account.
It was late at night in the common room and Nicholas, well, he wasn't your average Hufflepuff. Elaina had came downstairs and he had told her how he felt with her being with his best friend. She was shocked and terrified at his threat but she didn't want to tell her brother. She did not want him to get hurt. It was the following day that was the worst perhaps in her years. Elaina was cornered by a group of Slytherins while she was walking down the halls. The one person in charge? That was Nicholas. She was beaten up and they had attempted rape before she had fought them off. No one knew. Not Ben nor Ryan. She was terrified of being actually raped.
015. Now Elaina is....
Fifteen years old and is entering her fifth year at Hogwarts. She had grown a lot from her first year. She is entering what people had said would be one of the hardest years they would face with their exams. She has no problem of speaking her mind with the new laws. She refused to think about who would end up claiming her.[/ul]
