Trisha Loris Baldwin
~ The Poison Ivy Owner ~ 23 years old ~ Pureblood ~
~ 13" Red Wood with Dragon heart string core ~
Personality
Trish knows her limitations and likes to push the boundaries. She doesn’t like to conform to peoples expectations of her but rather over throw them and prove to herself that she can do it. She does not often listen to peoples badgering about what she can’t do but when she does she has learnt to use that as motivation to prove those people wrong. ~ The Poison Ivy Owner ~ 23 years old ~ Pureblood ~

Personality
A kind, bold heart, she is often quiet, contemplative and methodical. Trisha is tough, willful and is the kind of person that doesn’t take any nonsense from anyone. She is forceful in her manner to acquire what she wants, not worrying about the consequences. Her mind works fast and she has got a strong imagination, just like her mother. She is a book worm but her love for quidditch keeps her from staying in the books and in the real world.
Grounded, focused and determined, Trish likes to know what she had to get done and do it. She is thoughtful and giving, compassionate and meticulous. She enjoys seeing others happy because of what she had done for them and does not expect anything in return for such a gesture. Loving, she is open with her time so that she can be there for others. Though she likes being with people she cares for and loves she prefers being by herself with a good book.
Appearance
Standing just under 5’ 5”, Trish is slim, athletic and lithe. As most Biggerstalls do, she has very pale skin but ice blue piercing eyes. Her hair is a very dark brown (almost black) and it becomes more and more curly the longer it gets. She likes to keep it just below shoulder length but she had been known to grow it quite long. Her fringe is long, completing the frame of dark hair around her pale face and ice blue eyes. History
Trish is thirteen minutes younger then her twin, Allona, but knows that thirteen minutes is enough. While they were growing, the two girls were inseparable. They would go everywhere together and do everything together. Their older brother Ed was very protective as well so the three would constantly be together. Mrs Biggerstall found this to be such a great help because Ed was gentle and always did exactly as she told him.Ed went off to Hogwarts and Trish and Lon became to oldest children of the house. This was when Trish began to see a change in Lon. Her twin became bosy, demanding and arrogant but the two still remained close. Trisha and Jac became very close during the few years between Ed leaving for school and the twins leaving. This is not to say that the two were not close before, even after Trisha and Allona went to Hogwarts, Jac and Trish remained close.
When she was placed in Gryffindor, Trish couldn’t have been happier. She didn’t know many people but those few friends she had were the best and she didn’t need any more, she thought. A tight nit group of four girls made up Trish’s quartet: Mac, Rose, Freeya and Trish. The four were as close as anything, sharing everything. As Trish grew closer to these friends she grew away from Lon, finding her twin to be completely changed by the attention she was getting. Trish didn’t mind as they both had their own friends.
After graduation, Trish got a degree in journalism and went to work for The Daily Prophet. She enjoyed the journalism but what she did not like was the internal politics. The Ministry had a heavy hand in the paper and choked every artistic piece of writing that came through. She eventually had enough and left. Through out her life Trish had loved books and had been collecting them, rare ones particularly took her fancy and so she always did her best to get them. With this in the very front of her mind, Trish made the decision to open a second hand book store in London.
The Poison Ivy is what she called it and though from the out side it looked like the store could have been bigger then two meters wide inside it is a large room, at least ten meters long, with a second landing. Books are everywhere and Trish is still in the process of cataloging them all. She lives up stairs to the store in a very spacious apartment, which looks just as small as the store does from the out side. What this store requires is a constant flow of rare books and so Trish decided to go searching for some more books, starting in Hogsmeade and at Hogwarts.
The Truth Behind the Trisha
~ Trisha and Damien ~
~ Trisha and Damien ~
Trish met Damien Baldwin at a fancy dress party with her best mate Mac a year after graduating. At that stage in time, Trish and Mac still got to see a lot of each other but as the years wound on that wasn't the case anymore though they still remained close. At first it was Mac that everyone though Damien fancied but on the day that Trish got her job at the Daily Prophet and everyone was out for a drink it became painfully clear that he was interested in Trish.
In the ensuing palaver, after her announcement, Trish and her friends were all jumping up and down and the next thing she was hugging Damien and then he kissed her! The two went through a little uneven patch here because Trish thought that Mac was upset about it but once she got over that the two made their relationship official. They were together for nearly four year when Mac came into the equation again.
Well, truth be told it was a messy business and when Trish confronted Mac on Damien's allegations that Mac had thrown herself on him Mac denied them emphatically. It didn't help that the three were living together then, with a four guy named Orsino who remained constantly locked in his own room. It got to a point where Trish couldn't stand it any more and one evening she packed her bags and left for Hogsmeade under the guise of looking for more books but, truthfully, to clear her head.
In the end she did go back and soon the two were married.[/font]
