Ashleigh's CharactersName: Caleb Darke
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Grade: 6
House: Ravenclaw
Description: Caleb is tall with a medium-sized, muscular build. He has slightly almond shaped chocolate brown eyes that always reveal his emotions, regardless of how he acts. He has naturally tanned dark skin and almost shoulder-length glossy black hair that he keeps parted to one side. When he isn't in his Hogwarts uniform, Caleb usually wears plain blue or black jeans with a simple white or grey t-shirt and white runners. Usually, these items are artfully torn or smudged.
Appearance: Personality: Caleb is a very loud, outgoing guy and some may call him obnoxious. He's a practical joker and likes to tease people in a friendly way but is careful not to go too far, as he doesn't like hurting people's feelings. Caleb is the kind of guy who everyone wants to be friends with. He's friendly, outgoing, a great Quidditch player and is also able to carry on a serious conversation if the occasion calls for it. Unlike most guys like him, Caleb isn't interested in the typical Barbie doll girl, preferring intelligent, down-to-earth girls instead. One person whom he quickly became infatuated with upon his return to Hogwarts was Forest Mist Tigerchild, a painfully shy, nature loving bookworm who doesn't realize how wonderful and special she really is.
Biography: Caleb is a Native Aboriginal born in Alberta. When he was six years old, his parents moved him and his older brother to England due to a great job opportunity offered there for his parents. Caleb is a pure-blood, but despises the pure-blood attitude of being better than others. As "blood traitors", his parents were always rather poor unlike most other pure-blood families. His older brother eventually finished schooling at Hogwarts and married an English woman named Emily, having three daughters Penny, Livia and Frances (3, 6, and 8 years old). Caleb has always been close with his family, including his sister-in-law and nieces.
Pet(s): One screech owl named Gaius Caligula (Gaius for short)
What did they bring?: Caleb brought his school uniform, his textbooks, his wand (16 and 1/2 inches. Pine. Light and bendy. Hippogriff talon-shaving core. Good for Charms), and a small photo album with pictures of his family in it.
Other Information: Caleb is not my main character so everyone is free to use him.

Name: Circe Morgana Black
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Grade: 7
House: Slytherin
Description: Circe is tall and willowy, standing at just over 6 feet tall and weighing roughly 115 pounds. She has thin, paste-like skin which looks as though it has been stretched taught over the bare bones and you can almost see through it. Her eyes are heavily lidded and very dark, almost completely black and her lips are blood red with slightly pointed canine teeth protruding only ever so slightly. Although she's required to wear a uniform at Hogwarts, she shows a certain disregard for the dress code, wearing webbed leggings instead of the standard white stockings. The teachers are so exasperated by her disobedience that they don't even bother to punish her anymore.
Appearance:Personality: Circe is usually quiet most of the time unless someone crosses her, in which case she makes sure revenge is served swiftly and ferociously. She's extremely sly, observant and cunning. It is nearly impossible to trick or fool her. She has a very deep interest in the Dark Arts and sneaks into the restricted section of the library after hours on a regular basis to read up on it, even going so far as to practise some of her learning herself and developing her own not so nice spells and potions. She gets straight A's in school despite her less than attractive personality. In fact, the only friend she has, Ricardo is more of a minion. When she speaks, it sounds more like a hiss and she is fluent in Parseltongue. She's also a pureblood and thinks that muggleborns, muggles and half-bloods aren't people.
Biography: Circe's parents apparently did not want the burden of a child on their hands. The story goes that her mother was married to someone else when she had her and her father could not be bothered with a baby so he ordered her mother to kill her before anyone found out about her. Her mother couldn't go through with it so she snuck the baby away to an orphanage and then lied to her father, saying that Circe was dead. Circe grew up in the orphanage reasonably well cared for but terribly depressed with a serious anger management problem. When she was 11, she received a letter from a place called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry saying that she had been accepted there. Eager to leave the orphanage and learn about magic, she was quickly sorted into Slytherin and began to learn about Slytherin's views on blood being of utmost importance and most of all, the incredible power of the Dark Arts.
Pet(s): She has a black cat named Morrigan whom she often sends to spy on others and report back to her with information or forbidden ingredients for her Dark magic. Needless to say, Morrigan and Mrs. Norris get along quite well.
What did they bring?: Circe brought a crystal ball with her along with all her required school items such as books, uniform, cauldron etc, . She also brought a rather dark and gothic-looking set of tarot cards and voodoo dolls which she often uses in her secret castings.
Other Information: Circe's "friend" Ricardo is a rather humble individual with no backbone or self-esteem. More will be posted about him later.
--------------------
Name: Ricardo (Ricky) Oberman
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Grade: 6
House: Ravenclaw
Description: Ricardo has light cinnamon coloured skin, black hair cut in a bowl-style and soft brown eyes which always look timid and fearful especially around Circe. He adheres strictly to the uniform code, unlike his "friend" Circe. He can be seen around the school in long black robes, white dress shirt, black dress slacks and shiny, polished black dress shoes with a neatly folded blue-grey tie to complete the appearance. He also always wears his school uniform black pointed hat unlike most of the boys in the school. He is about 5 feet, 5 inches and is very scrawny, weighing only about 135 pounds.
Appearance:Personality: Ricardo is a very timid and fearful boy with absolutely no backbone of his own. Although very intelligent and polite towards everyone, he is often conned and bullied into doing bad things for Circe. She's his only friend so he allows her to bend him to her will for fear of not having any friends at all. He is very fidgety and jumpy and speaks with a terrible lisp and he tends to stutter when he is nervous, which is almost all the time. Despite how Circe bullies and cons him into being her slave, Ricardo adores her and harbours a secret crush on her. Circe knows this and uses it to her advantage.
Biography: Ricardo was born into a pureblood family as an only child. He's grown up with ideas of pure blood being of the most importance in life and went along with it, but never really believing it in his heart. His parents are generally good, law-abiding people but are extremely arrogant and proud of their pureblood status. They were extremely dissappointed when Ricardo was sorted into Ravenclaw instead of Slytherin, but Ricardo was very pleased. The Slytherins scared him. Soon after he started attending Hogwarts, he quickly found that he was considered a geek and a loser and soon became one of the loners of the school, until a second year Slytherin by the name of Circe introduced herself to him. So eager to have a friend, Ricardo soon attached himself to Circe, following her around everywhere and spending time with her. She never minded it and the two became "best friends". It wasn't long before Circe's evil nature caused her to start using Ricardo, but poor Ricardo was so happy to have a friend that he remained blind to her trickery and con-work. In his eyes, she's an angel and he will do anything to defend or protect her.
Pet(s): He has a small, female tawny owl called Birch. Her and Morrigan do not get along well at all since both pets are devoted to their owners and see right through the fake friendship Circe and Ricardo share.
What did they bring?: Ricardo brought his uniform, school books, cauldron, potion materials/ingredients etc, etc. He also brought his wand and his owl, along with a large supply of different coloured candles which he replenishes regularily in Hogsmeade. He's interested in candle magic but Circe often manipulates him into giving some of his stock to her for her own practise of the Dark Arts.
Other Information: Only Circe calls him Ricky, everyone else calls him Ricardo. If you say anything bad about Circe around him, he'll get very defensive and angry. If you try to befriend him, Circe will get jealous and possessive and get her revenge.
