Caitlin Lily Dorace MacGrimm
Hufflepuff Ghost ~ 27 Years Old when Died ~ Half blood, if she still had blood to bleed
9" Rosewood Wand with Unicorn Hair core

She is a classic 1920's beauty with the sad smile and the hair. But she is an animagus and can take the shape of a well behaved Labrador Retriever. Even in death can she do this.

Personality: While Caitlin was still alive, she was an energetic person, full of live and all it had to offer. She lived very much in the moment and never took anything seriously. She kept herself very busy while she was the keeper of keys at Hogwarts, doing all and more then was her job description. She was always the first to volunteer, even when she didn't know what she was volunteering for. Cheery and helpful and loyal and smart made certain that Caitlin was friends with everyone at Hogwarts, teachers or students.

However, when she died, Caitlin lost her fire for life (because she had none). She became slothful and irritable. She didn't enjoy being dead at first and would make damn sure everyone else new it too. She has rare moments of cheer that can last for days at a time but these are rare and far between. When talking to Caitlin you find out that she has a gift with words and comfort is what she does best and it is also the only decent thing she can do these days. This is about the only way she has found to be helpful as she has always craved to be and it will just have to suffice.

History: During her life, Cait was normal. She attended Hogwarts, a true Hufflepuff through and through and achieved good grades in most of her subjects. She enjoyed being at Hogwarts. It was always busy and there were always people to help and talk with. After school, Cait took a job in Gringotts for the Ministry. That lasted a few year and became tired. Caitlin didn't feel she was doing what she could to help people that needed it, not scummy rich people who could pay seven people to do everything for then. That is the reason Cait went back to Hogwarts.

Though her marks were outstanding, she was unable to procure a teaching job. Instead, Cait worked in Hogsmeade, constantly pressuring the Headmaster to accept her. She met lots of people while she was in Hogsmeade but still, the emptiness at her inability to help those who she felt needed it was infuriating. Finally, after a year of badgering the Headmaster allowed her a job at the school itself. It wasn't exactly the job she had hoped for but when she was presented with the Keys to Hogwarts, she knew that this was where she was meant to be. She did this job very well for several years.

While all this was going on, and even before, when she was a first year even, Caitlin would always look for new and innovative ways to do things, such as a way to get a bucket to take itself to the well on her parents' land and fetch water itself without it spilling or exploding when she wasn't looking. Suffice it to say, her curiosity and skill got the better of her in the end. After the accident she was rushed to St Mungo's, but she died before arrival. One of Cait's biggest fears was dying and it came back to haunt her, though to the naked eye it would seem to be she who was doing the haunting. The life went out of her like a candle flame in the wind. She could no longer help or assist or do anything useful, as she had spent her life doing. All she was good for now was floating around and eves drop on people. So that is what she did. Glide around the castle, talk to people, sit in on lessons and something very good that came out of this was that she could now chase Peeves and show him how it feels.

She died on her birthday in 1929 at the age of 27.
