Personality
Nora is a nice, sweet person. She has a pleasant smile and is very cordial to the people she meets. But, Nora is more than a cute petite face. She is more than what meets the eye. Nora has a fiery attitude. She hates being told that she can’t do something. She is smart and cunning; it’s not like she doesn’t know when people doubt her. They look at her small physic and think that she is sweet and small and needs help. She is out to prove them wrong. Nora’s a tough cookie.
Nora is very daring. She is very confident in herself. She knows she can do anything and everything. “I can’t” isn’t in her vocabulary. Nora won’t complain about anything. If she’s having difficulty accomplishing something, she tried harder and doesn’t waste her time on the groans and moans.
Nora has a small temper. Ok, it’s rather large. Other people get her frustrated. She hates waiting for something to be done when she knows she can do it ten times faster and better.
Nora may be a complicated person to get along with, but she still enjoys the company of other people. She enjoys a good laugh every now and then. Nora is coming to learn that the best time is time spent alone. She figures, she knows exactly what she wants and likes, why play the guessing game all the time with someone else. She could never be in a real relationship with anyone. She would force her own way into everything. The only friendship that would work would her ultimately dominating everything.
Through all this temper and attitude, Nora is a nice person. She wishes people could see through to the good part of her. She tries to be pleasant and hold her temper, she really does. It’s just not as easy as they think.
Nora likes the winter. She likes the snow and the wind and the cold. She likes knowing that she is part of a greater universe, which she will conquer, if someone dares her. Nora likes to know she accomplished something that someone doubted. She doesn’t brag about it, with the ‘I told you so…’ but she likes to know herself that she did it. It helps her feel comfortable with herself. She likes being around people that she knows won’t underestimate, that know her limits. She doesn’t mind when people congratulate her and pat her on the back, she just doesn’t need it to function, but she enjoys knowing she doing good.
Nora hates being underestimated and told she just a girl, and little girl. She knows she’s more than that. She dislikes people getting in the way of something she is doing. Nothing gets her more frustrated than a person saying ‘no’ and planting themselves in her space.
Nora has a round face and soft features. She has a small flat nose and full, subtle pink lips. Her eyes are a dark brown color set under dark eyebrow and dark brown thin hair. Her skin is pale, all most a reminder of porcelain. Her features make her very pretty. She has a nice smile, very welcoming. She also has a stern look, showing her attitude.
Nora’s torso is very short and straight. She is very thin, and hardly curvy. Her legs are long and thin and add most of the little height she has. He body is very petite, only being about 4’9’’ in height, but well balanced, even down to her small size 5 feet.
History
Parentage: Denny and Anna (O’Hare/Kosich) Davies
Nora’s mother, Anna, born Russian was adopted at age two by an Irish couple, Alice and Paul O’Hare. Anna was raised as a muggle, until she received a letter from Durmstrang Institute. Since her Father had attended Durmstrang, her name had been put on they’re list. They decided was made that Anna would live with a sponsor Wizarding family in Russia for the duration of her schooling. After completing her years at Durmstrang, Anna decided to stay in Russia. Soon she met Denny, a Wizarding Relations Ministry Employee working to represent England. They fell in love and were married. They moved England, setting up house in a wizarding village. to Anna remained close to her adoptive parents, spending a good portion of each summer at their house on the outskirts of Ireland.
Personal history: Nora Lee was born a daredevil. In her first few minutes, she tried setting the world record for holding her breath. Those ignorant doctors though she was choking and ruined her chances.
Nora grew into a toddler. She had a pretty smile, but a bad knack for getting into anything and everything. Her mother tried scolding her, and told her ‘no!’ Nora would smile and scream ‘Yes!’ happily and dive back into what ever she was doing. As she grew older, she learned to shrug off pain. Soon, she hardly ever cried.
Nora traveled to Ireland every summer with her mother. There she stayed with her grandparents, and tested the muggle life. She found the life very boring, and got into all sorts of trouble with the neighborhood boys. They teased her, calling her silly names like ‘shorty’ and ‘midget’. Nora threatened to turn them all into chickens with her mother’s wand. The boys usually just laughed at the silly, pretend threat. Magic wasn’t real after all.
Nora was very close with her Poppy though. She would spend the wet evenings sitting by the calm fire, reading old Gaelic stories on his lap. He would never read to her, but helped her when she struggled. Nora learned Irish this way, reading stories of Irish folklore. She loved her Poppy, and could tell him everything. He understood her, and he was Nora’s best friend.
At eleven, Nora head off to Hogwarts. She made friends the first few months by being herself. The other students seemed to like her and enjoy her company. Nora didn’t lose her temper at all, until…
Nora couldn’t help but notice the older, or even taller students had a habit of calling her a cute little girl and patting her on the head. Their minds changed when a third year boy ran out of an empty classroom crying. Nora had overheard him making fun of her toad. She hadn’t done anything horrible to him. She had just glued all his fingers together.
Nora came back to school excited for the new year. She had earned her respect the year before and was fairly known through out her house. Some people just didn’t learn though. A fifth year girl had told Nora that she should join the circus for they were short on midgets. Nora got very quiet. The girl laughed and dared her to do something, saying she wouldn’t do anything. No one tells Nora what she is capable of and what she’s not. In the end, it took two week for the blue to fade back to the fifth year’s normal skin tone.
For the rest of the year, the students were pleasant to Nora, but made sure they didn’t say anything wrong to her. The conversations were hurried and no one wanted to get very involved with the girl. Needless to say, Nora looked forward to her trip to her grandparents even more that year.
Nora came back the Hogwarts fresh. She had put the year before behind her. She focused on making friends, and went though a good lot of them. Soon, she settled with friendly acquaintances, having to deal without a best friend.
During the year, Nora decided that she would start a new class. Her mother told her about the classes at Durmstrang and how she loved her Dark Arts classes. Nora had always excelled at Defense Against the Dark Arts, so she was curious. Nora walked into Dark Arts to snickers and laughs of doubt. In her first day, Nora set out to shove it all back in their faces. They covered dueling. Matched with a tall and gangly sixth year, Nora saw the smirks on her classmates’ faces. Within five minutes, the match was over and all 4’8’’ of Dana walked away smirking.
Slowly, her classmates were getting the idea that she was more than what meets the eye.
