The Character
Name: Szenta DerFliegende
Nicknames (if any): None, as of yet.
Age & Year: Seventeen; Year six
Blood: Half blood
Wand: Eleven and three quarters inches, willow, core contains a single feather from the wing of an Augurey. Inscribed on the wands handle, the initials C. X. J. Though Szenta has not a clue as to who "C. X. J" is, she likes to imagine that they were of relative importance.
Personality: Wide-eyed and ditsy and cute and flimsy, adorable Szenta might come off as slow-witted. However, she seems to take great delight in playing the role of a simple-minded belle. She does not hesitate to take advantage of these aspects, either. Provided that you demonstrate genuine attention to detail while in her presence, she might allow a brief glance of her true colors. At which point it should not take long to realize just how able she is.
Szenta is extremely intelligent. She is adaptable and can decipher what most would consider difficult procedures under pressuring circumstance. Her demeanor is relatively mordant, and unquestionably astute. She prefers to act independently, finding the company of others intimidating and flat-out uncomfortable. Being among large groups frightens her, though she is perfectly fine in the presence of familiar persons. It is often mused that Szenta prefers her collection of books to human companionship.
To those who have received her extension of friendship, Szenta can also be good-humored and teasing, displaying her quick wit in the most backhanded of ways. Among her friends, she is indecisive with whom she is joking, and her calculating manner often leads to humor a bit too well thought out.
Szenta's weakness rests in dishonesty. She is incapable of telling even the simplest of lies. While tall-tales are not necessarily a fundamental part in the lives of most top-students, this fault does not allow her to get away with much.
Additionally, Szenta has a learned dislike of high fashion and the so-called "in-styles" that dominate the teenage world. Such frivolous matters are one of few things she will drop her innocent front to debate.
Appearance:
Szenta can be considered attractive. Though usually by those who prefer the generic blonde featured in every gossipy teen magazine to date. To most however, she is rather bland though still cute [this being quite different from attractive,] lacking in the exotic sophistication other girls attending Hogwarts seem to possess.
Much to her Chagrin, Szenta's hair falls below her shoulders in thick curls. While [considering her immense repertoire of learned spells,] this can be easily reversed, she, as mentioned earlier, prefers not wasting time that could be spent learning on such frivolous and petty matters.
Expressive eyes of light blue rest above a slightly [but not obnoxiously,] upturned nose, where a smattering of freckles pepper her lightly toned skin. She is built tall and long-legged with wide shoulders that coordinate with also wide hips.
History: Szenta's parents met and courted one another in the typical manner, her mother a well-respected cultural anthropologist and her father an equally dignified german ministry worker.
Her father made the mistake of proclaiming his wizarding status well after the wedding, leading to a prompt divorce and many a pyschiactric screening, though not all before the birth of a single daughter. Initially, Szenta spent time in the custody of her Mother. Though receiving little attention due to the demands of sustaining a child and adult under a single income. Her main form of entertainment, subsequently became reading and learning.
Not seven years after growing accustomed to muggle life and forgetting about the father who "left one day without any warning," he and Szenta were reunited [she was too young at the time to realize that the circumstances of this rejoining might not be entirely legal.] She proceeded to join him in flitting about the country for occupational purposes.
Many a magical happening later, she arrived through the enormous wooden doors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she is currently resides happily among all the books imaginable.
RP Sample: Szentas an original, fo' sho'.
Additional
Patronus: Szenta's patronus takes the form of a raven, a possible reflection of her wise nature and resourcefulness.
Anything else? She's my Claw-girl. =]
A change of house would be alright, but I'm hoping for Ravenclaw.
