Most people believed this to be from either running or swimming, but the truth of the matter was she was constantly outside, either playing with her siblings, helping on her family's farm, taming the wildlife, or exploring. Despite the Native American blood that flows throughout her veins, she unfortunately did not inherit any of the lovely traits. In short; she's a pasty girl that couldn't tan to save her life. She's either a lobster, or a pale peach. No inbetweens. Once in awhile, she does actually manage to tan a little, making the freckles on her face and shoulders stand out. Her body is scattered with scars in random places from random excursions, but otherwise she bears no remarkable features. Later on in life however, she will procure a jagged scar that mars her back, and right hip; a constant reminder of the events that had taken place. She will also acquire a temporary mark on the inside of her left forearm. || Material Appearance || Susan loves plaid of all flavors. When she isn't in her school uniform, she is typically found in faded and torn jeans, sneakers, and a plaid top of varying colors, though she tends to stick with black and yellow. She HATES skirts and dresses, but does consent to wearing the standard plaid skirt underneath her robes. || Possessions || † Glasses - she has absolutely terrible eyesight, and cannot go without them. The frames are a simple black plastic. † Ring - It is comprised of a simple silver band with filigree etched into it, an opal set in the middle. Her oldest sister, Willow, gave this to her the day she received her acceptance letter to Hogwarts. † Biscuit - Susan's pet pygmy owl. The two share a deep bond, not unlike most of the animals she comes across. Instead of procuring him the traditional way, Susan had saved him as a tiny owl chick, when she was 9, after he had fallen out of his nest. She had tried to return him at first, but soon after she realized the nest had been abandoned and took it upon herself to raise the little fellow. They've been together ever since. » Personality « || Traits/Quirks || Good at making people laugh, very focused when it's something that she's extremely interested in; when she's nervous she chews on her bottom lip or babbles on incoherently || Strengths || Highly protective, and very loyal; Flying; Transfiguration and Charms; her intuition and inquisitive nature || Flaws/Weaknesses || She's a huge chicken.

He had hoped to find the job of his dreams, so that he would be able to provide his future family with everything he didn't have growing up. Instead, he found the woman of his dreams, and shortly after they were married. While both of them were Muggles, they discovered that they had more in common than they initially thought; Willow had displayed her powers at a very young age, and while the two were reluctant to say anything for fear of rejection, they found that they both had magical ancestors. After Susan was born, her parents were both shocked and thrilled to see that her hair color had changed within a matter of minutes, no less than 4 times. One of Adelaide’s great-great-great-great aunts had been a Metamorphmagus, and it seemed as though the trait had finally been passed along. When Susan had turned 3, her parents decided to take over her father’s ailing parents farm, and the Hawthorne's moved back to Scotland. Being the youngest of seven had its perks, but some days it felt like the worst thing in the world. All in all, our little badger got along very well with her siblings. However, she was closest to her oldest sister, Willow, and her middle brother, Finley. The three of them were inseparable, and were always together. The older two would protect their youngest sister, and teach her everything they knew about life on a farm, and the great outdoors. In turn, Susan would show them the different animals she came across, and come up with adventures for them to go on. It was of no surprise that the three of them were the only Hawthorne children to receive Hogwarts acceptance letters when they came of age. This did spark some jealousy amidst the siblings, but not as much as one would imagine, surprisingly. While at school, she was a very hardworking student, but didn't devote all of her time to studying. She was absolutely thrilled with the prospect of exploring the castle and grounds, keen to find out as many secrets about her new home as she could. She would even venture into the Forbidden Forest, despite the warnings they received. Now, she was absolutely terrified of the place, she was only brave when someone she cared about was in trouble, but the prospect of finding new animal friends outweighed her chickenness in this case. She made friends very easily, with everyone she came across, and did not discriminate against anyone at all. Because of her highly protective nature, she was the only choice for the Hufflepuff Keeper in her third year. Flying was one of her most favorite things to do, when she wasn't being a goof. A lot of people found her sense of humor to be a bit dry at times, but generally speaking she could get a good laugh out of everyone. When Susan turned 15, her mother inherited a rather large estate from her great-great uncle, back in Chicago. Now that most of their children were grown and out of school, and the farm had been passed over to Willow, Lachlan and Adelaide decided to move back to the States and turn the estate into a foster home, and expand their large family. Rather than uproot Susan youngest and disrupt her schooling, Willow took her in. After school, Susan perused a career as a Magizoologist, and split her time between the two countries in order to spend time with her ever-growing family.
