((Join? six is afraid of seven because seven's a bigger number, so thus has more power and can squish poor six. I didn't want to copy the joke. That's uncreative.))

((... There was no bat. I am COMPLETELY TOTALLY complete sure. I looked it up in the book. No bat.)) Name:Sarah Allen Shepherd(Shep) Age: 11 Gender:Female Year: 1 House:Ravenclaw Personality:A smart, friendly witch with a love for dogs and any other living creature. She is very bright, and loves to help others with their homework, but is mis-judged as a 'weirdo' by her peers, because of her appearance(see looks). History: When she was three years old, she almost got kissed by a Dementor. It emotinally scarred her, but it's been slowly healing. Shep hates it when people speak of Dementors as if they were nothing or weren't dangerous at all. She loves pranks and has taken a liking for the cl@sses of Potions and Charms. Pet: A kneazle(look it up. Like a cat, and is allowed as a pet) named Olly. Wand:Elder, pheonix tail feather core, light, best for charms, 9 1/2 inches, black with silver intricate spider-web patterning. From Ollivander's Wand Shop. Other:No Looks: Shep is a rather stringy girl with punk, short pixie-like hair. She wears black most of the time, and wears black army boots. Most judge her as a goth or mean person, but she's quite a load of fun. She wears no makeup or jewelry, and has pale skin. Name:Larrah Beautiful Spring(Cricket) Gender:Female Year: 1 House:Gryffindor Personality: Larrah, or Cricket, is a rather ditzy girl who likes to read things upside-down, play Quidditch(not at school, at home), and talk to her owl, Tibble. She has few friends, but is very sincere. She tells the truth a lot, not that she lies, but more like the truth as in, 'you have a wet spot on your pants', or 'you think I'm weird, don't you?'. History: Cricket lived in an orphanage with no remembrance of her parents, and then she was adopted by a witch and wizard. She didn't know her new mother and father were witch and wizard, but they told her when they discovered that Cricket was actually a witch. Very confusing. Her real mother and father were never found, so no one knows if she's pure-blood(highly unlikely, with how pure-bloods are most often Slytherins and are dwindling), half-blood or muggle born. Pet: Tibble, a snowy owl. Wand: Oak, dragon heartstring(Norweigan Ridgeback) core, firm, best for defensive spells, 10 1/2 inches, light brown with dark brown handle. From Ollivander's Wand Shop. Other:No. Looks: A small, pale girl with dirty-blonde hair up to her waist. She wears bright colours, and wears a lot of strange earrings, bracelets and an @ssortment of other things. Usually has a blank ex pression, or looks as if she's off somewhere else in her mind.

Name: Feyth Alika Age: 11 Gender: Female
Year: 1 House: Gryffindor Personality: She is very hard-headed and tends to do what she thinks in her heartis right; which means that she is not neccisarily doing the right thing. She is a bit mysterious, often going off on her own to study and other things that nobody knows about. The only living thing she cares about is her cat and her sister, but since her sister was put in a different house, she doesn't get to see her much. She loves to draw.
History: She and her sister, after found to be witches, were put up for adoption. Only one orphanage would take them, but they were not very happy. Finally a couple came by and took the twins. They have been living a happy life ever since, although Feyth wishes she could visit her birth parents and do magic on them. Pet: She has a very grumpy young cat named Dusk. It is black with a white star on its forehead. Wand: 12 inch hawthorn with unicorn hair. Best for healing and defensive spells. Bought from Ollivanders wand shop. Other: Nope Looks: Name: Leyna Alika Age: 11 Gender: Female
Year: 1 House: Hufflepuff Personality: She is a totally average girl. A bit gossipy and highstrung, but she is actually less confident in herself than you might think. She hates being a 'mudblood' and will punch everybody who calls her it. She has some anger management issues and is nothing like Feyth in any way, except for looks. History: Same as Feyth Pet: She has Dusk's twin, a white cat with a black star on his forehead. His name is Hawthorn. Wand: 11 inch oak with pheonix feather. Best of offensive spells. Bought in Ollivander's wand shop. Other: Nope Looks: Name: Quin Heale Age: 11 Gender: Male
Year: 1 House: RavenClaw Personality: He is a very studious boy, always has his nose in a book. He is like Hermionies twin brother, except they are not related in any way shape or form. He loves to read and tends to not be very good at socializing because he doesn't retrieve himself from the moon long enough to get to know someone. History: (Not telling) Pet: He has a barn owl with strange white feathers. Wand: 13 inch willow branch with dragon heartstring (Chinese Fireball). Best for offensive and destructive spells. Bought at Ollivanders wand shop. Other: Nope Looks: Name: Niomi Shasta
Age: 11 Gender: Female
Year: 1 House: Slytheryn Personality: She is very curious, much like a cat, but she has gotten better over the years. Once, she played with her mother's wand and placed something like a curse on herself, except that it is a good curse. Because of that curse, she has extrasensory hearing. Sometimes it is a blessing. Unlike most Slytheryns, she is not really stuck-up, but she is a little bit over-confident with her abilities. She is not very good at making friends and she very klumsy. If you see someone walking down the hallway and tripping over her own two feet, it is most likely Niomi. History: She comes from a line of purebloods that comes from the Malfoy line. Somewhere along the line, her great Grandfather married a Malfoy and the Shasta line was started. She was born on November 11 and ever since she has been able to walk, she has wanted to be the greatest witch ever! Her mother is an animagus, so at a very young age, she was exposed to a higher type of magic, something she hopes to achieve one day. Pet: (Optional) Wand: 12 inch oak with pheonix feather. It works best for healing and defensive spells. It was bought from ollivander's. Other: She is a seer and is slightly better at it than most people. It comes from her grandmother who was also a seer.

OoC; Join? People say six was afraid of seven cause seven ate nine, six obviously made up this tale after he himself killed and devoured nine, so he could act like a total scaredy cat of being caught, and poor old seven, who is now all lonely and depresssed, goes to jail.

((Six is afraid of seven due to the rather pointiness of seven's nose. Anyone can see that 6 is a very round and gentle number, and it would be quite easy for 7 to jab it and pop its balloon! -Sorry if that was rather lame, best I could come up with on pain meds XD Just got my stupid wisdom teeth removed -_- --Been a while since I've RPed, hopefully you wouldn't mind if I joined?))

Name: Aber Noonan Age: 11 Gender: Male Year: 1 House: Ravenclaw Personality: Aber is a shy little bugger. He hates conflict, socializing, girls, boys, the outside, most everything except for his books. He has never made many friends but doesn't mind that. He's not a show-off in cl.*censored* about his brains or anything like that, but always makes sure to take notes and to talk to his teacher if he doesn't understand anything. There is one thing that will get this boy riled up. He HATES it when people diss on his family for being mudblood. He believes he has the same right as any other person to be at the school and he wants to make sure his opinion to get heard from this. History: Aber is half of a mudblood twin pair. His twin sister, Becca, has always disliked him for his mental compacity, and he had mutual feelings for her athletic skills. More than ever does Becca resent Aber after he recieved a letter to Hogwarts... When she never did. Pet: A Snowy Owl named 'Snow'. (He's not too original) Wand: 11 inch Ash, Hipogriff Talon. (Great for healing and such as that.) Other: None much. Looks: Coming~ ~ Name: Tyler Bakman Age: 11 Gender: Male Year: 1 House: Slytherin Personality: Well, because of his Pureblood history and his obnoxious parents, Tyler believes he should own the world in one of his hands. The boy is unforgiving, 'Shoot first, ask later' type of lad who has no repect for elders, none the less his peers. Tyler is actually extremely smart for his age, but doesn't like to show it. He's afraid people won't accept him for his knowledge. Instead, he keeps to himself and keeps his friends close, but yet different from the real him. Which isn't much better than his aweful, somewhat 'fake', self. History: Tyler's a typical 'bad' kid, destined for Slytherin. Ever since a little kid, he's been causing mahem and chaos for everyone to deal with. Pureblood parents on both sides, raised in the magic communtiy, not much else to say. (Other than he slightly represents Malfoy in a way...) Pet: A pet Calico named Brett. Wand: 8.5 inch, Mahogany, Dragon Heartstring Sturdy (Common among Slytherins) Other: Nope Looks: Coming~

(I haven't posted any bios on Rescreatu before, so forgive me if this is overmuch or done improperly!)) Name: Corvus Whifferdill “Whiffer” Age: 11 Gender: Male Year: 1 House: Ravenclaw Personality: Quirky, to say the least. Corvus is a brilliant child, and has always been one for knowing all the right anwers. However, he dislikes being thought of as a brainiac, and often does what he can to make himself look foolish. Honestly, when that doesn’t work out, he just makes himself stand out in other ways. He’s not at all stuck up, and has a great sense of humor. He isn’t one of those guys that only believes in one way to skin a cat, and likes to try new methods, which sometimes blow up in his face. However, he is a dead believer in the trial and error method of learning, even if it may be a bit more dangerous for a wizard than it would be for a normal kid! History: Corvus is a half-blood, his father a wizard and his mother a muggle, though there had been magic in her family as her sister had been born a witch, so it was little surprise when boys came about that could do magic. Corvus is an only child, so named after his great grandfather, even though he finds the name pretentious and prefers to be called “Whiffer”, much to his father’s chagrin. There was no doubt in either parent’s mind that he would be a wizard from the moment he was born, especially when Corvus was instantly known to have the rare gift of metamorphagus, his hair turning a vivid shade of blue upon his birth. Due to his ability, and lack of control of it during his youth, he was home-schooled rather than sent to the public muggle school. Pet: N/A Wand: 13 inch Maple, Phoenix Feather core, rigid witha spiraled shaft. Other: Metamorphmagus. A rare ability that someone is born with, unlike training to become an animgaus. It can be hereditary, but is not always, somewhat like becoming a witch or wizard itself. Looks: Whiffer is a Metamorphmagus, which means he can change his looks at will. Most commonly, he is seen with vivid and stark colors, his hair shades of blue and purple, his eyes blue, though this may change depending on how he is feeling that day. He is a tall gangly thing, with rather pointed features when he doesn’t feel like changing them about, and can never seem to keep any meat on him. His hair does seem to revert to a dark blue-black shade when he is overly depressed or upset, which could be believed to be his ‘natural’ color. Name: Heathcoat Warrington “Heath” Age: 11 Gender: Male Year: 1 House: Slytherin Personality: Quiet is the first thing that would come to anyone’s mind about Heath. He is quiet and relatively unsocial in general. Some think it’s because he feels he is too good for the rest of the world, but in complete honesty, it is simply his lack of understanding of how to deal with people. It could even be considered shyness, which makes it even more difficult for him to speak to girls or large crowds. In fact, large groups of girls can terrify him. Though he is Slytherin, there is something different about him. While he was born to a pureblood family, what is likely the most obvious reason he was placed in the house, he does not seem to understand his family’s feelings against muggle-born or half-blood wizards. He isn’t the judgemental type, as he doesn’t wish to be judged, so he would accept any magical, unmagical, or mix thereof without hesitation, if they would only accept and understand him. Most often, he will be found sitting on his own reading books or doing his homework, something possibly less common for a Slytherin, but it makes him happy and allows him to prove to himself that he is capable of more than others may believe. History: He is the third son of a pureblood family, with a younger sister following. Most of his family holds the truest of pureblood beliefs, though he has his doubts whether they are set on logic and fact or simply misguided beliefs of a dwindling people. He does love his family very much, but can often be embra.ssed by their actions, and does not often try to be seen with them, especially when they are doing the things that only an extremist pureblood family would do. He is the third son to have entered Slytherin for his family, with one brother in his third year and another in his sixth, and he has just as much pressure placed upon him as the rest of the lot. Pet: Heath has a pretty Bengal Cat by the name of Tuss. Tuss has the traditional ‘wild markings’ of a Bengal Cat, and is extremely intelligent and friendly. He has some magical properties to him, as he was purchased from Magical Menagerie in Diagon Alley as a present for getting into Hogwarts. Tuss is easily considered to be Heath’s best friend. Wand: 14 inch Ebony with Chimera Scale Core, bendy witha decorated shaft (rare, but his parents are wealthy and proud enough that they want the best for their children.) Other: Along with studying, Heath rather enjoys the arts, and may be found drawing or painting, though he would never show off his work to anyone else.
Looks: Like his parents and siblings, Heath has the traditional Warrington black hair, though his is a bit shaggier than that of his siblings. He is tall and broad shouldered, and will obviously be a possible athlete, if he ever felt comfortable enough in front of a crowd to be one. His eyes are a pale shade of gray, sometimes hidden by the gla.sses he wears to help him see. Name: Kurt Levski Age: 11 Gender: Male Year: 1 House: Hufflepuff Personality: Kurt is a little box of emotions! He simply can’t keep them all to himself. He is loud and happy and overly friendly, and will do his best to become friends with everyone that he meets. He doesn’t mind speaking his mind, and tries to help others, even if he doesn’t really know how- which can sometimes get him in trouble. The only things he truly dislikes are bullying and studying. The former gets him into trouble when he tries to help the bullied, and the latter tends to put him to sleep! He does try hard at all things that he does, but he often isn’t the best. He’s quick on his feet, and may turn to a decent seeker, but the thought of him being hit by a bludger is enough to change anyone’s mind about that. What he loves most in the whole world is cooking, magical or not, and might be caught sneaking to the kitchens to visit with the house elves for this very reason! Due to its closeness in nature, he also finds potions to be his favorite cla.ss, simply for the exact measures that it adds and how similar it is! History: Kurt is muggle born. Both of his parents are muggles. Yet, his uncle is a wizard, and gladly took the boy in when his parents didn’t know what to do with him! They loved him dearly, but with four other children, having one that could break things without touching them and able to make the pet dog fly about was simply not within their capabilities. He did attend public schools, but often had to change due to his inability to keep his magical talents hidden, something that came from his boisterous nature. A few years ago, he and his Uncle moved to England so that his uncle could start a new job with the Ministry of Magic. Though his uncle had graduated from Durmstrang, he was still pleased when Kurt received the letter of acceptance to Hogwarts, and quickly set about getting the boy everything he required to become a wizard. Pet: Quite humorously, the tiny boy has a great beast for a pet! His uncle purchased him a Great Gray owl after receiving acceptance to Hogwarts, and the cuddly creature tends to dwarf Kurt’s already rather diminuative size. To top it off, Kurt named the bird Sir Fluffy, even if his uncle said that that was not a proper name for an owl. Wand: 10 inch Rosewood with a Unicorn Hair core, supple and smooth. Other: Kurt can sing beautifully, and often does to himself. He would do well in a choir. Beyond this, he tends to be a bit on the clutzy side, and has been known to trip over his own feet! Looks: Kurt is, with a word, adorable. He is shorter than any of the boys his age, and likely many of the girls. It is uncertain if he will ever reach any real height, but his personality is big enough to make up for it. His hair is a pale blond mop on the top of his head, that sometimes doesn’t even get brushed if he oversleeps, and his eyes are a dark blue shade that seem to be too big for him. As a whole, Kurt just appears to be the most cuddly and huggable boy in all of Hogwarts! ((Adding in pictures of Tuss and Sir Fluffy.))
