Personality Traits
Character Traits: Lucy may look like a calm, sweet girl. Truthfully, she is full of energy and life. Lucy loves to talk and play. She enjoys meeting new people, her bubbly personality helping her get along with most everyone.

Lucy has an active imagination. She tends to daydream when she gets bored. Whenever she hatches a plan, an interesting little smirk spreads across her face. Usually her ideas are outrageous and unthinkable. Still, Lucy entertains herself with thinking up new ways to get into trouble, only if they get stored in her brain and never get played out. Even so, Lucy wants adventure and she wants mischief, she just needs some help getting into it.

Lucy is very outspoken, very honest. She won’t hide anything from anyone. If she doesn’t like something, she’ll tell you. She comments on everything. Usually using her sarcasm, which she wields as a weapon. Lucy has learned that she needs to learn to keep her mouth shut some times, a work in progress. Lucy never goes looking for a fight, but isn’t afraid to defend herself. She’s quite the little scrapper. Lucy is a competitive person. If she is put in a competition, she will try her hardest to honestly win. She is never a sore loser. She tries to give everyone a fair chance.

Lucy is very patient with herself and what she has to get done. It is other people whom she cannot deal with. Although Lucy tries to get along with everyone, it is inevitable that some people just bother her. It’s usually people who are very slow, and can’t keep up with Lucy’s energy. She just gets too frustrated.

Likes: Lucy is very into music. Since she was very young, Lucy was a singer. Her grandmother used to sing little folk songs with her. Lucy took it seriously when she join a choir at her school. In the past year or so, Lucy has gotten increasingly better at playing her acoustic guitar. She now carries it everywhere she possibly can. She has started to write her own little tunes, though they are nothing really, yet. Her dream is to become a little British rock star like the Beatles.

Lucy is very athletic and loves to go run around exploring. She likes playing around with her friends and going on mock adventures into distant lands. She likes the feeling that any moment that floor could fall out from under her feet, and she could be swept away to rescue a princess. Her childish fantasies are becoming scarier, darker. As Lucy grows older, so must her interest.

When Lucy can’t go outside, she must find an outlet for her adventurous mind. Since Lucy learned to read, she picked books about action and adventure. She loved to read about the quest for gold and glory. In her mind she would pretend she was the main character going about fight dragons and trolls (not yet knowing that she could very well encounter these creatures one day)

Dislikes: Lucy dislikes being forced to be alone. Her parent’s jobs, demanding as they are, take them away from Lucy a lot. Lucy absolutely dreads the days her parents say they have to leave for a few weeks. It wasn’t as bad when she was little. Growing up, until she was about five years old, Lucy had an older sister, but she moved out, leaving Lucy alone. Though she has no choice but to be left alone sometimes, she still dislikes it greatly. This has been eased lately, her guitar offering a friendly face when she needs one.

Lucy dislikes crying. She realizes that sometimes, she just needs a good cry to feel better about something, but she can’t stand if someone sees her shed a tear. It is almost classified as a fear.

When it comes to people, Lucy cannot stand people who brag about themselves and/or think they are perfect. She comes to the conclusion that these people are just trying to hide something. Lucy also dislikes people who cheat, lie, or put other down. It’s not necessary, and she has no problem standing up for someone who is getting this abuse. Also, she cannot stand it when people continuously say, “I’m sorry” for everything, even though they haven’t done anything wrong.

- Twirling her hair
- Daydreaming at the wrong time
- Fidgets
- Bites her nails
- sings constantly

History
Parents: Trenton and Julietta Kimble

Trenton and Juliette met during college. They were in a lot of the same classes, both going for their masters in business. Soon they were dating seriously, starting new careers. They moved fast through the corporate ladder. When they both had safe jobs within a large company, they made the decision to get married. The newly married couple concentrated on their jobs and never thought about having children. They bought a large, rarely used house. Their demanding jobs left them apart from each other. It wasn’t the most ideal marriage.

Siblings: Regina (Kimble) Rook

Born ten years earlier than Lucy, Regina was invited to Hogwarts, also as a muggleborn. Much later, Lucy would follow in her sister’s footsteps. Regina left for Hogwarts when Lucy was only one year old. Instead of coming back on holidays, Regina chose to stay at Hogwarts. Lucy never really knew her sister, it was more like she knew of her. She knew she was off at school somewhere, but she didn’t really know for what. No one explained it to her. Seven years later, Regina graduated and went on to work for the ministry, living in London. She recently married into the Rook family, making Ellie Rook and Lucy Kimble relatives.

A little Background: Lucy was born in the middle of a company merger. Her mother had no time to take time off from work, and her father was in Japan or some far off country at the time. Right from the start, Lucy was put second to her parents’ jobs, and handed over to her nanny. Lucy grew in the care of her hired help, learning how to walk, talk, and use the toilet from, Peggy, her nurse.

Even though her parents’ weren’t around, Lucy knew that they loved her and her sister. They tried to make up for not being there by sending her presents and making sure she got what ever she wanted. Luckily, this did not spoil Lucy. She would happily trade everything she owned to have her parents home at the end of the day.

As a small child, alone, as Regina had left by then, the large mansion scared Lucy. She thought she heard voices in the vacant rooms, and shadows in the long hallways. When Lucy was about six, she came to realize the potential of the mansion. It was her playground where she could have adventures and go off to Never, Never Land (Peter Pan being her favorite story as a child). Here Lucy’s imagination grew, as did her bravery. It was here, in one of the many empty rooms, Lucy had her first taste of her magical powers. When she played in the rooms, certain things she pretended, actually happened. Lucy sometimes pushed it out of her mind, thinking that she was just getting carried away. But, as she got older, some things stuck in her mind, giving her something to ponder over. Yet, she could never find a legit reason for these odd things to happen.

Lucy grew in the lonely house, filling it with the many friends she accumulated at school. Lucy was popular at her muggle school. Soon she wasn’t horribly lonely anymore. Yet, she still longed for a kiss from her mother everyday before she got on that bus to school. Lucy used her singing to get through the times when she missed her parents most. When she sang, it seemed as though she filled the room, and was hardly lonely.

As Lucy prepared to turn the age eleven, an owl pecked at the girl’s window. Lucy stepped back, afraid of the bird’s odd behavior and called for her nanny, who tried to shoo the large bird away. The ever-persistent owl lifted the latch of the window and hopped inside, dropping a letter on the table, and disappearing back through the window. Lucy walked over to the letter and stared at the Hogwarts seal. She had never heard of the school. Maybe her parents had enrolled her and didn’t inform her yet. Lucy opened the letter and read it.

It took Lucy about an hour to fully realize what the letter was saying. She was a…what? Witches and wizards didn’t exist. They were part of stories and myths. It took Lucy a while for everything to sink in.

Lucy’s parents found it very hard to understand, both daughters being witches, yet neither of them had a trace of magic in their blood. They had not been around for their daughter’s childhood. If their had been any signs of her powers before, they had missed them. They explained to her about her sister and how Lucy would follow in her footsteps. Though her parents were confused, Lucy got the feeling they might be proud.

Once Lucy went to Diagon she also became very proud of her new heritage. Not only because she was so excited about everything she saw in the magical place, but for the first time, her mother went school shopping with her.

Now a few years have gone by, and a few things have changed. Regina, Lucy’s sister, has come back into contact with Lucy. Lucy loves her sister and writes her constantly. Lucy got used to the Wizard way of life and by her fifth year, she got a pretty good handle on it. Her parents still work, though she doesn’t mind it all that much. She’s not home anyway. However, it is a let down when she goes home for the holidays to an empty house. Her adventurous attitude had not changed. She still loves daring trips and scary stories. Anything for a thrill.
