The Character
Name: Marishka Mayfair
Nicknames: Mara, Mish, Mishka
Age/year: 16, 6th year
Blood: Pure
Wand: Whomping willow, seven inch, veela hair
Personality: Smart. Laid back. Beautiful. These are just a few of the ways Marishka would describe herself when looking in the mirror. Of course, there's more to this tyrant than just a pretty face (as she would say).
Known for her quick wit and bold sense of daring, Marishka's confidence is unrivaled by anyone within her social circle, which, given her tendancy towards temper tantrums and fierce competitiveness, isn't very big. Like most people with a lot of self-worth she has very little patience for people she finds silly or stupid, usually resulting in an uncalled for hex or two that has earned her a label as a bully (something she finds rather unfair in her own eyes - whatever happened to 'physical education'?).
If it were not for her dislike of loners Marishka would probably be one, but as it is she prefers to have her independence alongside a group of like minded trouble makers whom she allows her more playful and mischievous side to shine through.
Appearance: (See avatar) Very cunning eyes that always look as though she's got a trick up her sleeve.
History: (And now for the bit you’ve all been waiting for – the Mary-Sue feature!) When Marishka was a baby it took her an usually long time to start talking, but when her first words did finally come her family had a surprise they were more than happy to flaunt: Marishka was a parselmouth. Predicably this has lead to Marishka's family being very respected within the traditional wizarding community (aka the self-righteous pure-bloods).
