HPHM- MC Presentation: Tenshi Lightwood
Hi ! After several weeks of work, I FINALLY finished the presentation of my HPHM main character. I admit that I was a little apprehensive but I'm finally getting started. 😊
English is not my mother tongue, the presentation is originally in French but I tried to translate as well as possible so it's not perfect. If I made any language mistakes, don't hesitate to tell me, I will correct myself ❤️

Tenshi's wardrobe:
Accessories:
-Her brother’s signet ring (which she wears on her left thumb). It’s a black family ring, ruby-encrusted their father passed on to Jacob, but he left it behind him before disappearing. The name « Lightwood » is engraved on the inside. This ring is the only things she has left of Jacob, which is why she wears it constantly. She would be devastated if she were to lose it.

-Her velvet bracelet she wears on her right wrist.
Post-Hogwarts: Her style asserts itself and becomes more provocative while remaining the Auror’s style. She wears long coat cinched (often trench coats), deliberately unbuttoned Victorian blouses, leathers corsets, high-waisted tight pants (often black), and high-heeled thigh-high boots.

Likes:
-She likes to play piano and sing very much. Jacob often accompanied her on the guitar to sing along with her. This common passion for music comes from their paternal grandparents who also loved it, especially their grandmother Addison. When Tenshi and Jacob were children, they often went with their parents on vacation to their grandparents in the USA and their grandmother sang them lots of children’s song. She doesn’t have an amazing voice but she doesn’t care, she’s having fun and that’s all that matters.

-Party
-Read
-Listening music
-Swimming

Hogwarts and magical things
House: Gryffindor
Wand: hornbeam wand, dragon heartstring core, eleven inches, inflexible.
Patronus:
Holland Lop bunny (from 3rd year to 6th year)
Nebelung Cat (from 7th year)
Memory: the moments when she sang with her brother who played the guitar.
However, when the problems with R grow and Jacob gets involved, this memory will no longer work. She will not be able to produce patronus for a while. The memory that will awaken her patronus again will be her first kiss. At that point, her patronus will change shape.
Boggarts: Jacob, bearing the Dark Mark on his arm, sits on a stool and slowly plays « Go tell Aunt Rhody » with his guitar out of tune. Her friends corpses are lying on the ground, at her brother’s feet.
Riddikulus: Her brother is standing on the wobbly stool singing silly songs at the top of his lungs. Her friends are standing laughing and throwing confetti at him. It’s raining chocolate frogs.
→ Her boggart reflects her deep fear that her brother has actually gone mad because of the Cursed Vaults (=his madness is represented by his out of tune guitar and scary way of singing) and that he has truly joined Voldemort (= the Dark Mark on his left forearm). « Go tell Aunt Rhody » was one of the songs their grandmother Addison sang to them when they were children, even as they grew older, they continued to sing it together jokingly.
The boggart also show her fear that her friends will be hurt, or worse, die because of her relentless search to find her brother.
Amortentia:
What she smells: candies, chocolate, coffee, book pages and (she doesn’t know why) sandalwood.
What she smells like (to the others) : peach, raspberry, rose and vanilla. Her smell is fruity and sugary.
Erised Mirror: She sees herself partying surrounded by her friends and family finally reunited and happy. All of her family and curse issues are far behind her. She enjoys her years at Hogwarts like any normal teenage girl.
Quidditch: Seeker. With her small stature and her agility, she’s very talented. Don’t be fooled by her appearance: for the golden snitch, she fights like a lioness (hence her nickname 😏).
Particularities/ Aptitudes:
Legilimency (inherited from her father)
Occlumency (taught by Snape)
Animagus: Light brown tabby angora cat with white belly and gold eyes. (Ability acquired through Talbott, Penny and McGonagall).
Skilled in duelling
She has a very, very good memory. Thanks to this faculty, she manages to obtain good marks in all the subjects, even those which she does not particularly like to study.
Good at quidditch
Favorite classes
Defence Against Dark Arts: it’s by far her favorite subject. She’s passionate about ALL subjects studied in this class and excels both in theory and in practice. Her passion for this class will make her want to become an Auror.
Care of magical creatures: she adores all kinds of magical creatures and loves studying them in all their aspects.
Potions: even though Snape keeps putting her down, she really enjoys this class and finds it very interesting, especially in practice. Much to Snape’s chagrin she’s pretty good.
Least favorite classes
Astronomy: She doesn’t particularly like it. (What an idea to do class at midnight 🙄)
History of magic: she finds it boooring, she sleeps every class. However, she manages to have decent results thanks to Rowan.
Divination: She finds this subject absurd. According to her, divination is a gift, not something that can be learned. But even though she finds it completely fake, she still enjoys attending this class because she spends her time laughing with Charlie at the wacky prophecies Trelawney gives. She still manages to get good grades because she understood that it was enough just to play along.

Some facts about her and the Lightwood family
(I will complete progressively)
-Tenshi was born in France and stayed there for part of her childhood. Her parent decided to return to England for Jacob to enter Hogwarts.
-Her mother came from a noble French family of pureblood wizards. Her father is from the Lightwood clan, a very old wizarding family.
-Lightwoods are part of the wizarding families considered as « blood traitors » by the fundamentalists purebloods because they openly reject the doctrine of blood purity. Indeed, Tenshi’s parents treat muggles as an equal and are very interested in their way of life, especially her mother who often tried to live like them. Tenshi and Jacob knew some devices like TV or walkman. Tenshi and her mother love muggle’s fashion.
-Lightwoods are an ancestral family of wizard nicknamed « Light Bearer ». Many descendants from this family have the particularity of having gold eyes. There are many legends about them, some say that wizards from this family could have extraordinary powers, but none has been proven.
The only strange thing that is found in descendants is this aura of light and warmth that they give off and that attracts people.The descendants are also Legilimens.
-Her parents own several residences in England, France and USA. Their primary residence is the manor in Wiltshire. They also have a loft in London, another manor in France (where Tenshi and Jacob grew up) and a property in Texas.
-The disappearance of her brother deeply affected her family. While he was missing, her parents were devastated and a shadow of themselves.
-When she entered Hogwarts, Tenshi was very apprehensive about other people's look. She already had a reputation even before she started her studies. Jacob’s disapearance and the many rumors about him have tarnished her family’s name. At the age of 11, her goal was to restore her family’s honor and prevent anyone from devaluing her. She then built herself an image of a strong and arrogant girl. People whispered as she walked by, said she was weird and would end up like her brother: mad.
But the support of the friends she made during her first two years made her abandon this facade that she gave herself and progressively, she opened up and showed herself as she really was. A sociable, warm and kind girl who just want to make friends and find her big brother. She ended up gaining popularity (in a good way this time), and found friends to rely on.
-Tenshi will come close to death twice in her life: the first time during one of her missions as an Auror (she was hit by a curse on her forearms, which slashed her veins and make her bleed out). The second time during the Battle of Hogwarts (she almost died of suffocation under rubble after an explosion).
