The Character
NAME – NICKNAMES - YEAR – BLOOD
Laura Nyssa-Jean Parkhurst - Laur, Aura - 1st year - Pureblood
Wand: 10” Fire maple with phoenix tail feather
Personality:
Laura can be quiet and dreamy. She is often in her own little world, dreaming of far off places and adventure or quiet places where every sound is amplified to such an extent that you can even hear the heartbeat of the toad by the riverside. She has as vivid imagination so day dreaming is easy with it’s own slideshow in her head. At other times, Laura can be loud, out going and friendly so much so that you would never say that she could be as quiet at a mouse.
But always, Laura is sincere, caring and loving, thoughtful and giving. She uses her free time to make things for people she likes, like cards and pictures and boxes to keep things in. She has an incredible capacity to love and care for everyone she meets, regardless of house, shape, colour or intellect. She cares for everyone and anything. She is hard working and knowledgeable about things that interest her, such as animals and artists.
She likes books but no more then the normal person. She likes to be outside and she enjoys practical subjects, where she is doing things with her hands (or wand which is an extension of her hand). Sad people make Laura sad and then she wants to comfort them and help them through their though times. Laura is generally smiling and staring, misty eyed into nowhere. Some may call her placid and imperturbable, while other may call her cool-headed and immovable in her beliefs and morals. All of this is true of this equable and gentle little girl.
Appearance:
Laura is thin and tall for her age. She had long blond hair and green-blue eyes (more green then blue though) that can seem so far away at times. Laura looks best in cool colours like greens and blues and likes to be comfortable rather then fashionable. She doesn’t care what others think, she is comfortable with who she is and that is all that matters. He likes caps, for some or other reason, and likes to wear them in strange and imaginative ways.
History:
Laura is constantly reminded that she is the only Parkhurst child who hasn’t lived in more then one country. She was born in Oxford, England, where the family still live where her three brothers were born abroad (for more information see their bios). Russell is her oldest brother. He is very protective and Laura gets annoyed with him sometimes but mostly (a large majority of the time) she thinks it is rather sweet. Aidan and Derryl are her two other brothers that are always trying to make her laugh by doing silly things because they love to hear her laugh.
Her brothers have been at Hogwarts for all her life so she knows nothing other then seeing them on holidays. This suits her fine because then she is allowed to make friends with the muggles in her area. Laura likes the muggles very much because they are sweet and innocent without any knowledge about magic. She likes keeping this secret from them because it keeps them young. Laura knows that knowledge can be a terrible thing to bear and age a person before their time.
With an adventurous heart, Laura kept playing with the muggle children up till the day before she had to leave for Hogwarts. She loved them all so. Laura has always been responsible and caring for not just people but animals too. Once, when she was five, a little Robin fell out of it’s nest and she reared it, with her mother, Jeannine’s help. That is why her parent let her have a pet of her choice when she got her letter from Hogwarts. She chose a jet black cat and called her Midnight.
