Patronus : Hedgehog: The first impression of an individual with a hedgehog pratronus can be very deceiving. On the outside, they can first appear happy-go-lucky and kind, as well as slightly naive. They are optimistic indiviuals in the way they want to be be happy and have the feeling rub off on others, but this is not who they are completely. Rather, they actually have a tough personality to them, and have the ability to fight and defend themselves. Do not take them for weaklings, because they certainly are not, and are much more perceptive than they appear.

FAVORITES
Favorite subject in school : Charms..but also Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Favorite magical candy : Honeydukes chocolate bars.
Favorite band : Billy Joel, Carly Simon, Foreigner, Meat Loaf, and of course ABBA are some of the artists on the names of the cassette tapes littering her living room coffee table.
Favorite book : A Study in Scarlet, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Favorite food : Bacon and cheese. If it has bacon or cheese involved, it is her favorite.
Favorite animal : Her owl. Also loves dogs, not a huge cat fan, finds their intelligence a little creepy.
LITTLE SECRETS
Biggest regret : The time Charles had to go without fresh flowers in the house because she was always setting them on fire.
Someone they fear : Dumbledore. She recognizes that dark and light are usually just a matter of perspective, and while she knows for a fact that mass genocide is wrong, and certainly not a good thing, and that nothing seperates pure-bloods and muggleborn’s but pride -- she still worries that people follow Albus a little too freely. It gives him an authority she is scared of. After all it’s the same authority Voldemort wields.
Someone they could kill : Any ‘original’ Death Eater, who coerced or led their children into the war.
Someone they miss : Edgar and Sarah. Very deeply, though she’d never admit it to her sister-in-law.
Someone they resent : Alastor, often times. She feels he doesn’t understand her, and doesn’t really make an effort to either. Then again, she is also very stubborn and probably doesn’t allow him the same, so really these two are doomed. But great pals anyway! When they aren’t arguing...oops.
Is there a secret they want to share with someone? Who and what? : I wonder... (:
Something they’re embarrassed about liking : She has a secret love for the moment just after giving her name to a stranger who knows her brothers, when they stop to scrutinize her for their familial resemblance and compare her to them.
What did they want to be when they were younger? : To live happily with her family forever, in a very large house with a huge garden, where they could sell flowers to make a living (very classic fairy tale) and be happy.
Secret they consider to be their “big secret” : She tends to be the type of person who falls into crush with someone very easily. It is often short lived, but for the five seconds that it takes for a man or woman to open the door for her while she is struggling to balance case files, she is in full ‘imagining our future’ mode. Could also be that she doesn’t really expect herself to the survive the war. It seems odd that someone with as little talent for mass conflict intended to actually cause harm as she’s got should be allowed to survive it.
Amortentia : Sandlewood, Cinnamon and Fresh Fallen Snow.
