Pets: TIGER -
Tiger is part brown tabby and maine coon. She has all the markings of a tabby but what distinguishes her from the typical tabby is her medium long hair, fluffy white chest and a very fuzzy tail. Tiger is the queen, or at least she acts like it. She knows how to manipulate and work her humans. She can be sweet when she wants the attention but she can also be a major pain. She has yellowish eyes with a slight ring of green around her pupil. She loves high places where she can spy on her prey from high up above. She loves to play with trash, especially those paper bags. She has many quarks, like letting her tongue hang out. All in all, she’s a tongue sticking out, trash playing, manipulative drama queen of a cat.
Wand Type:
Made from Holly, it has a core of Phoenix feather, 11 inches. Holy is often used in spiritual and magical practices and is very important yet often misdirected, for this tree’s true symbolic meaning is hard to understand. It is generally used for guarding against evil and as a link to the spirit world. It can also grant very strong protection and physical beauty. Being the wood with a very active nature, holly can be used in a combat spells - but with caution, since its power is of very special nature, and is effective only in ultimate ‘life-or-death’ situations.
Strong, active and definite. Good in combat spells, especially in those dealing with active protection, extremely good for defense against dark magic. Also does well in transfiguration but is less suitable for easy charms. Indicates the owners abilities for leadership and may point to the special karmic predestination.

Hair Colour:
Dark, dark, dark brown.
Eye Colour:
Brown.
Build:
Thin and toned.
Skin Tone:
Tan.
Height:
5’7”
Dress Style:
Lisa loves to dress up. One might even say she has a thing for fashion, both muggle and magical. Some have even called her materialistic and superficial. But how Lisa sees it, it makes her look good, makes her happy and makes people either want her or hate her. She loves flashy, colors, layering, accessories, shoes ... the list goes on. She never leaves her house or dorm room before feeling completely satisfied with her look, even if that makes her an hour late to wherever she has to be. But don’t confuse Lisa’s love of flashy and accessories as over doing it. She knows her limits and sometimes less is more.
P.S. She hates the school uniform and will change out of it immediately after her school day.
Specifics:
Lisa thinks she’s pretty, not gorgeous but prettier than most girls at the school, so she’d never be found with her head hanging low and feeling insecure (well, 99.99% of the time). To a lot of people, Lisa can be off putting at first. Her confidence may show off as snooty but when people get to know her, she’s not too bad. Other than that, she’s rather plain and simple. She has no piercing, not tattoos or scars. Why some people might notice her more than other is because she’s one of the few Asians that attend Hogwarts.
In Front Of Friends
Sexual Orientation:
Heterosexual
Self Image:
Lisa loves herself. She’s confident of herself and what she can do. She never gives up. If she wants something (or someone) she will try her hardest to get her way. She believes the only person that can let you down is yourself and one else can be blamed for failures. She also took on her mother's maiden name. She has great pride in being Asian. Not only that, she doesn't care for her father. Technically and still on paper, Lisa's official surname is Taylor. She just chooses not to acknowledge that. She also thought that her mother's surname might help her reputation at school.
To the Outward Eye:
Lisa usually gives a bad first impression. Her confidence often comes off as snooty rich girl even though she’s neither snooty nor rich. She’s rather a pleasant girl, although sometimes slow and lost. People find it easy to tease her and Lisa never minds if it’s a little friendly tease. She can bust out teases herself but she will never tolerate rude comments to herself or to her friends. She’s rather outspoken but she rarely thinks before she speaks.
Social Status:
Lisa is both popular in the sense that she has quite a handful of friends and, by the fact that her name is known around school. For what it’s known for, could be many of reasons (good or bad) but all Lisa cares for is that it’s known. She loves to be social and hang out. She rarely wants to be alone or do things alone. It’s a good thing that she always seems to find someone who wants to be with her.
Positive Traits:
Negative Traits:
Skills:
Lisa is a natural genius and would be doing very well in school if she applied herself. She’s simply never interested in doing her homework. Classes she is good at is Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts and dueling. Classes she’s absolutely horrible at are Astronomy, Divination and Charms.
Likes:
Dislikes:
Patronus:
Fairy - Lisa's patronus is a fairy. Like a fairy, Lisa thinks highly of herself. She thinks of herself as pretty just like a fairy is vain. Unlike a fairy, Lisa is not unintelligent but lacks the motivation to strive to be better in certain academic aspects. Just as fairies, who can only feel one emotion at a time since they are so tiny, Lisa where’s her emotions on her shoulders and expresses them out loud.
Boggart:
Herself - ugly, old, unsuccessful, alone, dirty and in overall disgusting. She thinks highly of herself, her looks and strives on getting things her way. If she had none of that, she’d be nothing.

Report:
Lisa is a good student. She pays attention in class and scores high on her tests. If and only if she did her homework, she could be one of the top students at Hogwarts.
Personal Statement:
She absolutely loves Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration, and if they had a class for dueling, she’d love that too. She absolutely hates Charms, Astronomy, and Divination and so when she could finally choose her classes, she opted to not take those three. She’d preferably take only the two classes she loves but she knew it would be a stupid thing to do.
History:
Lisa was born and raised in London. Her mother [Cho Chang] works at the Ministry of Magic and her father [Samuel Taylor], a muggle is a history teacher (primary reason she’s taking history of Magic). Lisa also has an older sister named Ashleigh who also now works at the Ministry of Magic with her mother.
Lisa’s life is rather plain and ordinary - nothing extraordinary or fascinating. Growing up Lisa had always known she was a witch. That was not the case for her older sister, Ashleigh. At her husband’s request, Cho had tried to live an ordinary life, or at least for her kids. Sam was afraid that once their kids found out they were witches, they might take advantage of that. So, until Ashleigh started showing signs of magical powers, Cho and Sam kept it a secret. Now when they told Ashleigh she was a witch, there was no hiding it from Lisa. This only proved Sam’s fears. Although Lisa’s powers weren’t developed, she would do everything in her power to try and do magic. This lead to many broken furniture and a few bumps and bruises.
It was the summer of her 3rd year at Hogwarts when she met a older boy down the block who was visiting his aunt from the United States of America. This was absolutely exciting for Lisa. She loved his strange accent. He was friendly towards her and she grew to like him a lot pretty fast. Well, one thing led to another and things didn’t end very well. To cut to the chase, she slept with him, thinking he was the one. Of course he wasn’t and any grown person could’ve told her that, but at such a young age, she was manipulated into thinking this was true love. Of course, he had her way with her and left when summer was over. This broke her heart and to this day, she has not told a soul, not even her mother who is her comfort and best friend.
Going into Hogwarts, Lisa tried so hard to live up to her mother's reputation. You see, Cho was a very smart and popular girl. She did very well; did all her homework, sucked up to the right professors, made a lot of friends and etc. It was a good year and so were the following two years. However, after the incident with the older boy... she changed, slowly. It was slack on one homework, then another, then another. She finally gave up interest in homework. She doesn't realize the change. Her friends did at first but finally accepted the fact.
Roleplay Sample:
The door creaked open, letting in the bright light from the outdoors shine into the dim lighted room, framing a dark slender silhouette. Lisa entered the room with her head held high; purse in one hand and her hip in the other. She paused at the door, blocking anyone from going in or out to gaze at her surrounding. Expecting all eyes to be on her, she smiled her charming little smile.
“Move it!” her moment came to a screeching stop, light fades as another figure tries to walk past Lisa. She rolls her eyes and walks into the store. “Rude much?” she snarled at her older sister, crossing her arms. “You two,” her mother’s voice intervened with a tone of warning. Ashleigh continued to walk forward as Lisa waited for her mother so that they could walk together. Lisa gave Cho a weak smile and Cho smiled lovingly back at her. “So, prepared to do some wicked shopping. I’ve got to look my best for this school year. It’s absolutely important.”
“You only need the things on this list,” came a manly voice from behind. Her father walked into the store. Lisa grimaced and made a whiny sort of a grunt. “But paaaa...you don’t understand.” She glanced towards her mother, hoping she’d have a go at her father and convince him otherwise but she just smiled back. Lisa stomped and left her father and traitor of a mother behind. She had expected that from her father but not from her mother. She let out a sigh and walked into the next room with all the pretty clothes.

It’s a good thing that she always seems to find someone who wants to be with her.
Positive Traits:
- Friendly – Lisa is a very kind girl although she may not seem like it. Once a person gets to know her, she’s a friendly person (if that person is not in the way of Lisa’s goal). She gets ‘you’re not what I thought you’d be like’ a lot.
- Ambitious - Lisa loves challenges and will set high goals for herself. She will not stand for mediocre or just plain okay. Of course this only applies to what she is interested. If she’s not, she can be the least ambitious person.
- Passionate - Lisa often is motivated by her emotions: anger, want, happiness, or jealousy. She’s the type to wear her emotions on her shoulder and be very open about it. This could be a good trait or a bad one.
- Confident - She believes in herself and her abilities. She never thinks a task is impossible. She will work her hardest and strive to get what she wants.
- Smart - Lisa gets her brains from her mother, Cho Chang. She’s naturally bright and her test grades show it. She loves learning, especially when it has to do with something she’s really interested or passionate about.
- Charming - Once a person gets to know her, she can be very charming. She likes to please people (to an extent). She wants people to either like her or envy her and in order to do that, she ahs to please others.
Negative Traits:
- Manipulative – Lisa can use her traits to manipulate people into doing things or feeling things. This doesn’t necessarily mean she’s out to destroy everyone. She can be manipulative in small ways, such as if she wanted someone to come along with her somewhere. She’d turn her back to the person, say something along the lines of, ‘well, I guess I’ll just go by lone some self .’ Heavy sigh, 3/4 turn, batter of the puppy dog eyes. It’s a bit drastic but something of that line.
- Lazy/unmotivated - When it comes to something Lisa is uninterested about, she will not do it, such as homework. She’s naturally smart but she never does the homework. Hence, her grades are so low but she manages to keep them at an average with her high test scores.
- Driven/Passionate - However, when it comes to things Lisa is passionate about, she will stop and nothing to get what she wants, even if that means crushing her friends. She is not beneath using people to get what she wants. It’s the way of life is what Lisa says. The strong prevail. Mind you, she will help people only when it is helping herself in someway.
- Lust - She likes boys and spends a lot of time with them. The phrase ‘chicks before dicks’ doesn’t register in her head. She will go after, flirt and do all sorts with whichever guy. It doesn’t help that in the past a lot of them gave in to her charm.
- Inconsiderate - Lisa doesn’t think before she speaks or acts. This can lead to hurting people’s feelings or saying something to the wrong person. Half the time she doesn’t really think about it but sometimes it’s intentional. She is always thinking about herself before others.
Skills:
Lisa is a natural genius and would be doing very well in school if she applied herself. She’s simply never interested in doing her homework. Classes she is good at is Transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts and dueling. Classes she’s absolutely horrible at are Astronomy, Divination and Charms.
Likes:
- Fashion - She loves to dress up and make herself look even prettier.
- Herself - Lisa is number one. At least in her eyes she is.
- Boys - She loves to flirt and tease.
- Winning - She loves when she gets her way or when she accomplishes a goal.
- Eating - Moderate eating is good. She loves exploring different flavors.
- Socializing - She loves to be around people and just hanging out.
Dislikes:
- Homework - Lisa never does homework. She’s simply not interested.
- Rude people - Lisa can handle teases and such but she cannot stand rude people.
- People with bad manners - Although she has a lot of bad manners, such as speaking before thinking, she hates people with bad manners when it comes to table manners and being courteous (for instance saying thank you and you’re welcome).
- When things go array - She absolutely hates it when things don’t go her way. She’s like a spoiled little girl.
- Father - She’s not very fond of her father. He’s the practical and strict one and often punishes Lisa for her doings. Of course, her older sister just adores her father.
