Name: Aerwen Guinevere Despaire
Age: Seventeen
House: Ravenclaw
Birthday: 23rd January
Bloodline: Half-blood
Physical Description: Aerwen has a slender and slim build and stands at a moderately tall five-foot-six. She commends sharp and cautious dark eyes of pendragon blue. Her hair is of a raven black to rival Harry Potter's, great in length flowing down to her waist with a silky smooth texture. She has a paper white carnation and accentuates her dark eyes by outlining them with black kohl. She dresses in dark shades of grey, blue, green and violet and usually wears at least one black item of clothing. She holds a gothic aura promoted by her sense of style, posture and slightly old-fashioned interests. She walks lightly and gracefully although with a slumped figure whilst keeping her head down.
Personality: Aerwen is quiet and what some people would dare to call unsociable. Her past is a secret to all but a very select few whom she chooses to call friends. She is a silent listener; one who knows much but says little or nothing. She is cleer and stays near the top of her class in all her subjects. She relishes Transfiguration knowing that her dead father was an Animagus and hopes, in time, to become one herself. If Aerwen does not express herself enough through words, she does through music. She plays a variety of instruments, her favourite being the piano, har and flute. Her attention in Charms attains her able to instruct different instruments to play at her will and has composed various pieces and songs using Charming techniques. In her country home Aerwen loves to roam about the garden or play the piano whilst singing. A hidden talent she excels at which only her uncle -if he is lucky and without her noticing- is able to wonder at. Another hobby of hers is reading. She enjoys very much poems, especially foreign ones and occassionally writes her own. She has recently found some of her late father's poems and is translating them from French to English for her uncle.
Likes: Reading, especially poetry and suprisingly Aerwen enjoys muggle novels by Agatha Christie, playing insruments, listening to music, watching the world go by...
Dislikes: Bossy people and ones who won't stop talking to her.
History: Aerwen was born into a family plagued by ill wishes and hate. Her father's family were the purest Purebloods and had an almost inhuman hatred of anyone of lower 'blood value' than themselves. Then Jack De Croix, one of the youngest De Croix brothers, married Morwenna Serwfhgyr - a Welsh Muggle-born witch. Aerwen's early childhood was consumed by her parents' despair and anger towards the De Croix family. They kept little Aerwen a secret from their treacherous enemy not knowing what harm would befall her of they knew of her existence. At the age of seven, whilst Aerwen was safe at her Welsh uncle's house in the countryside, her father's malicious twin, Gulliver, stole into her family's home and murdered the sleeping coulpe in their bed, boasting afterwards that this 'noble' deed had been commited in the name of Lord Voldemort. He served 5 years in Azkaban. By then most of the De Croiz family had succumbed to the will of He Who Must Not Be Named and all male members had become sufficient Death Eaters. The news of the double murder spread qickly to the small but chattersome village of Midsomer Mallow in Oxfordshire, where the next day a young girl and her uncle, clothed in black satin, mourned for a lost sister, mother, brother-in-law, father. Aerwen would stay with her uncle Nathaniel, change her surname to jostled letters of her mother and father's names - Despaire. She would hope that the De Croix family and their friends would not find out of her existence. Aerwen later received her Hogwarts letter hence only spending the holidays at her uncle's quiet and secluded cottage.
Family and Pets: Mother = Morwenna Paige De Croix formerly Serwfhgyr.
Father = Jack Stefan De Croix.
Uncle = Nathaniel James Serwfhgyr
Aerwen owns a black cat called Shadow which her uncle bought for her on her appraisal at Hogwarts. Shadow has been a faithful companion to her and has touched on her hidden lovable nature. Aerwen's uncle has a large silver wolfhound by the name of Arthur with whom Aerwen loves to tend to and play with. She has grown very close to this animal and surprisingly Arthur has grown fond of Shadow the little black cat.
Roleplaying Sample: Blah blah, etc.
