Nicknames: Reese, though she’s sure there are others that the students have for her that she may or may not be aware of.
Occupation: Muggle Arts Professor
Age: 34
Nationality: German
Blood Type: Muggle-born
ABOUT
Personality: The personality between the “real world” and “Hogwarts” for Reese hasn’t changed very much, if at all. She’s still that quirky woman who will talk your ear off if you let her and has a passion for the arts, displaying that motherly instinct with her students and will do anything she can within policy and procedure to ensure the success of her students. For those students (and adults/fellow staff alike), that try her with sarcasm, she does what she can to not miss a beat and dish the banter right back to them. The fact that she can relate personalities well with others makes her a likable teacher, much like a younger, female version of ‘Mr. Feeny.’
Magical Origins: She knew something was off when she would have sworn she put on an outfit of a certain style and color, only to find that if her choice of clothing didn’t match the setting she was in, her appearance would change like a chameleon to adapt to her atmosphere. Picture something along the lines of going to prom in jeans, a t-shirt with your hair a mess, only to walk through the door and find yourself in a gown matching the color scheme of the event, with hair and makeup down perfectly.
Family Background/Home Life: Being a Muggle-Born, Reese was born to Muggle parents who knew about magic, but hoped that because they were muggles, the gene would skip their offspring, so Reese was initially oblivious to the fact that she possessed magic. That was until her origins started and she began to ask questions. Her parents tried to change the subject to take her mind off of it, and it worked until the age of 11 when she was served her letter and her parents were forced to tell her everything.
Hogwarts Life: She takes her teachings seriously, so if she isn’t conducting a class, she is researching to keep up with the Muggle World of Art so that she can inform her students of the most recent and relevant information. But even Reese knows how to have fun, and knows that there has to be some play in her life so she doesn’t completely lose her mind. That being said, she can often be found easing the stresses of everyday life at the Three Broomsticks. She also tries to support the students by attending Quiddich games, even if she doesn’t fully understand the sport.
WIZARDING DETAILS
Wand: Larch wood with a phoenix feather core, 12 ¾" and slightly springy flexibility
Boggart: Basilisk because she is Muggle-born and as a result of a disagreement on who should and shouldn’t be allowed into Hogwarts and possess magical powers, one of the founders of Hogwarts, Salazar Slytherin, left the school. Before he left though, he created the Chamber of Secrets in hopes that his true heir would one day unleash the Basilisk contained within it on those who he felt were unworthy of magic. Luckily the new Ministry of Magic put a stop to the thoughts that muggle-borns weren’t worthy, but even still, knowing her history, she still fears the beast.
Extra Curricular: Ghoul Studies, Muggle Art, Muggle Music
Quidditch Position: Spectator, though she barely understands what’s going on and sometimes even cheers for the wrong team.
Talents: Quick Wit, Musical Talents, Quick to understand subjects involving music, art, and/or history

When kids were put into the equation, Frank retired and became a stay at home father and husband, supporting his career thriving wife and providing a rather good difference on their kids of how different dynamics can work. Moving after their fifth child was born into London to help Mary with the commute, they had managed to snag a rather nice house given his saved money and her business savvy ways of getting a decent deal that ensured rooms for all their loving close knit family.
Alec is the oldest out of the set of triplet.

Hobbies/Interests: Herbology, meditation, muggle music from the sixties and wizard chess.
Magical Origins: Her parents knew that she followed in her father’s footsteps when her plants would grow faster and be ready before the season even started. As worried as her mother was, her father was excited and proud that his daughter followed his footsteps.

Her mom was a hippie who believed in peace and love, having a passion for crystals, oils and herbs. And that was how Beth was raised.

Magical Origins: Ever since Jordan was born into this world, everyone knew he was ‘different’. Even a child of purebloods, his bright purple hair shifted to pink when he began to release his first cries. The two colors remain his defaults but whenever his mood shifts to the extreme, both his locks and eyes tend to change different shades of every color under the sun. Making his magical powers known, well, instantly.
Family Background/Home Life: Though both Korean, Jordan’s parents attended the Japanese Mahoutokoro school of Wizardry. Topping their classes, respectively in long line of disciplined wizards and witches. When his parents got recruited to London to become Auror’s for their division, it was only happenstance that their now five year old would be destined for a Hogwarts acceptance letter. Though wishing for him to attend their alma mater, they had reluctantly decided to allow him to go to the school nearest by and insure some of his fellow friends would join him making school an easier process on the boy.
Before that, however, they showered their boy in love, affection, and discipline. They knew just how much responsibilities came with their powers. The fact their son seemed ‘different’ from even their own kind made them more cautious and wanting to instill a sense of moral virtue within him to be sure he remained a force of good.
Hogwarts Life: He’s an early riser so probably one of the very first in the Great Hall for breakfast. A constant around him no matter what (especially at meal times) is his cat, Lulu. Often stealing food off plates with Jordan apologizing yet never being able to punish the adorable feline. He also wanders, mostly from spot to spot depending on schedule or just walking around, humming to himself. Though he has a large group of friends from all houses, he sticks to a smaller core few. Usually more quiet, tending to observe everyone despite his florescent ever changing hair garnering him a lot of attention no matter what part of the grounds he’s in.

That and his almost infallible optimism that carries him through many difficult situations and helps offer light where sometimes other’s can’t see.

ABOUT
Personality: Adam is the kind of guy who will always stand up for the little guy. He was shocked when he made head boy because he has been known to get into several fights with other students. All of the fights he has been in have been because he was standing up for someone who was being bullied. He is a confident and outgoing guy.
Hobbies/Interests: Quidditch, Scottish rugby, wizards chess, gobstones, working out, hanging out with friends, meeting new people and interacting with others. And, of course, spending as much time as possible with Chloe.
Magical Origins: Adam is an only child. His mother was a pureblood witch, and his father a muggle. When he was young his mother became sick, and not even magic could save her. She passed away and, his father fell hard into depression and became an alcoholic. He was physically abusing Adam. One day he had locked Adam in a metal chest, and Adam was freaking out. He squeezed his eyes shut and focussed on his breathing. The next thing he knew the whole thing felt cold. He reached out and touched the inside of the latch to feel that it was frozen. He hit it and it smashed open and he got out of the chest. His father shipped him off to Hogwarts as soon as he could.
Family Background/Home Life: Adam actively avoids going home. His father was arrested and sentenced to jail, so every time he goes back to the muggle world, he is placed in a different foster home. For the longest time he would only go back for the summer holidays, choosing to stay at school for Christmas and any other breaks. But, after he started dating Chloe the Kingsley’s welcomed him with open arms and now he spends Christmas and breaks with them. @chlcekingsley Given they sleep in separate rooms and the door always stays open @thexkingsley @mysterious-chef-alec
Hogwarts Life: Most days start the same. He wakes up, goes for a run around the black lake and across campus, he then does some push ups, sit ups and jumping jacks before taking a shower. He can guarantee that Chloe will have saved him a seat at breakfast. Some people have been known to call them the “It” couple. In his spare time he’ll practice quidditch, play wizards chess and joke around with friends. Always making sure to try and make everyone feel included.
