Introducing...
Name:
Callie Marie Harold
Age:
July 10 - she's 16
Gender:
female
Year:
6th
Birthplace:
Washington, MO USA (see history)
Ethnicity:
A mix of French-American and Irish.
Nationality:
Irish
Blood:
half-blood
Relatives:
Mother - La'Riena Henbicque[muggle]
Father - Leon Harold[Wizard, pureblood was in Ravenclaw]
Younger Brother - Britin Leon Harold[Wizard, age undecided]
Two uncles on her mother's side:
- Henri Henbicque[Muggle](married to Scarlett[Witch]with two children)
- Jacques Henbicque[Muggle](married to Stephanie[Muggle]n with four children)
An aunt and uncle on her father's side:
Jon Harold[Wizard](single)
Ginerva Ackland[Witch] (married to Colin Ackland[Wizard] with three children)
Pets:
Callie has a black/white/gray Scoops owl by the name of Rufus. Rufus is pretty annoying most of the time, always biting fingers for a treat when he delivers letters. He makes loads of noise when he sees his owner from being excited. He's quite loyal to Callie, only giving her the cold shoulder if she yells at him or doesn't have any treats(which is rare unless the dumb bird drops something breakable..) He likes owl treats, but LOVES to get human food, especially toast, that's burnt black.(he likes the mess it makes when he gobbles it up and crumbs go everywhere)
Wand Type:
Holly, 10 1/2 inches with a core of dragon heartstring is a little bit swishy. Is great in most areas, Transfiguration, DADA and Potions being the owner’s favorite. Charms can be a bit tricky though, it carries a mad delight for jinxes when its owner really feels it.
Appearance
Picture:
Hair Colour:
dark brown/black
Eye Colour:
hazel green with a splash of orange around the pupil, she also wears glasses sometimes.
Build:
A little chubby, not overly so, but she has womanly curves(from her father's side of the family)
Skin Tone:
very light tan
Height:
5'6" 1/2
Dress Style:
Outside of Hogwarts, Callie dresses in jeans, a belt and a band tee. When she’s feeling dressy she’ll wear a nicer top with dark wash jeans, favoring jeans over any other party attire. Her casual jeans sometimes have rips in them but not unfashionably so. She loves wearing darker cool colors(blues, greens, grays and blacks mostly), her jeans are medium/dark washed and she had a few different colored of converse depending on which she grabs, sometimes wearing two different colored ones. Her hair varies from being down and somewhat in her face or up out of her face but it’s nothing very “proper” looking(like McG’s bun XD), so if she has a bun in she has fly-aways almost always and pieces falling out. Though, again if she dresses up she’ll fix her hair so it falls in ringlet curls or is up and nice looking.
Specifics:
Her weight will probably stick out mostly at Hogwarts since it seems like most of the girls here are succulently slender. Callie is voluptuous and has a bit of meat on her bones. She doesn’t like it sometimes but then would rather have her curves than be skin and bones. She does have a bit of a wild side when it comes out, sometimes a good group of friends, or even one will coax it out.. or a few shots of firewhiskey even! She has a tattoo on her lower right leg, above her ankle of a penguin sitting on a rainbow and her ear lobes are pierced as well as the upper cartilage in her left ear.
In Front Of Friends
Sexual Orientation:
Heterosexual
Self Image:
The main thing that sticks out in Callie’s mind about herself is that she could stand to lose a few pounds. She likes herself otherwise, thinking she’s decent looking if not pretty in her own way, a bit of a nerd, and a slight outcast sometimes. She doesn’t fit in with the real popular or athletic kids but more of the loner/few friends clique.
She likes to be in groups sometimes but isn’t one to seek out being the center of attention. It makes her nervous if everyone’s eyes are on her, it makes her feel as if everyone is judging her even if they’re not.
To the Outward Eye:
They may very well just think of her as the quiet smarty. A wallflower at parties, if she even attends and perhaps even prude. Though most of these are completely wrong, she can be all of these, especially if it’s a new person/place.
On very rare occasions Callie can radiate pride and happiness, she just has to have something great happen in her life and she can barely retain her excitement about it. With this, some people find her hard to peg, others find it easy. They also may think she’s a walking contradiction.. or just crazy even. If she is in a bad mood/upset, it is easily seen. You can tell by the way she sits in classes; slumped down and even more quiet than usual, never making eye contact.
Social Status:
In the middle, not popular and not an outcast. She’s not too picky about who she’s friends with, she’s just as happy to befriend the person labeled as a freak just or the popular student. She mainly likes to keep to her group of friends since it’s where she is happiest, she’ll even befriend a ghost if she can. The dead both scare and intrigue her.
Positive Traits:
[/li][li] Detailed Oriented – She loves making things detailed, homework above all. Even though her own personal clothing style doesn’t reflect this, she notices everyone else’s choices for their wardrobe down to the weird turnip like earrings some people wear.
[/li][li] Tolerant – She’s tolerant of all peoples opinions and choices. She tries very hard not to judge people on looks or attitude alone, though sometimes she fails but everyone does that.
[/li][li] Interested – She is curious and craves to know the answer to something she doesn’t know. She likes to know how things work.. she used to help her father take muggle things apart just to see how they ticked.
[/li][li] Friendly - Sometimes she's friendly to a fault, which can be a negative trait, but she generally has a smile and a "hello" to most strangers and will make light conversation just to override the awkward silences when waiting in long lines of sorts.
[/li][li] Dependable – She is always there for her friends and very rarely late for classes or appointments. She does not like it when people get flakey..
[/li][li] Enthusiastic – She comes into most classes with this attitude, ready and willing to learn the new spell or potion no matter how long it takes to accomplish. Usually it doesn’t take her more than a day to learn a spell since she concentrates on conquering it.
[/li][li] Dauntless – Albeit from being a little shy, she’ll go head first into a challenge.
[/li][li] Hygienic – She’s not one to sit with mud on her face. She’s a bit of a girly-girl this way. She doesn’t like to have dirt under her nails let alone on her anywhere for longer than necessary. A good bubble bath is in order at least one every few months.[/size]
Negative Traits:
[/li][li] Snobbish – When she is in a bad mood she becomes very snobbish, telling people off or hexing them out of annoyance.
[/li][li] Naive – Callie can be a bit naïve, which she usually kicks herself for afterwards. It’s not too often but sometimes she just slips without knowing and trusts someone she shouldn’t or gets pulled into something she didn’t want to originally.
[/li][li] Childish behavior – Things going wrong really annoy Callie. She can throw tantrums like a two year old, whines and full on pouts even.
[/li][li] Expects the worst - After the little thing back home with being made fun of for doing magic she expects the worst to happen most of time. Meeting new people irks her because she thinks that they will think she's just totally off her rocker and weird and won't have anything to do with her.
[/li][li] Doesn't know how to flirt - Ooh yeah.. biggie here. She doesn't realize when she's doing it herself but if a guy flirts with her she is really pathetic. She's only had a couple of boyfriends that weren't very serious for this fact, because it took so long for to notice that they weren't allergic to her perfume, they were WINKING AT HER.
[/li][li] Tongue clicking when nervous – This can be a problem not only to her peers but herself since sometimes she will click her tongue during tests. It’s distracting and annoying and the teachers have to tell her to stop before she realizes that she’s doing it.
[/li][li] Can be vague – When explaining things to someone she can be unintentionally vague.
[/li][li] Noisy – She has a semi loud voice that carries. Especially when she’s in a great mood, she’ll be quite loud. [/size]
Skills:
• Knows American Sign Language – she can hold a general conversation but isn’t fluent in ASL. She knows this because her cousin is deaf.
• Remembers the little things – details on peoples clothing or something someone said. Her memory is really good at remembering numbers, as in birthdays and anniversaries.
• Plays the flute – from being in music lessons from a young age, Callie can play the flute beautifully but not many know this about her
• Stealthy(when she wants to be) – she’s snuck into the restricted section a few times.. but Shh! Don’t tell anyone!
• Speaks French – She doesn’t speak French very often, thinking that with her slight Irish accent it sounds odd, but she will occasionally swear in French.
Likes:
1. Bubblegum – it’s almost as good as sliced bread. And giant bubbles? Epic win as long as you don’t get it all over your face.
2. Singing – it’s a sort of stress reliever for her.
3. Guys being romantic – She adores it. Even though she’s not sure he exists she still hopes to find her ‘prince’.
4. Adventures – Callie is always up for an adventure with her friends whether it be into the forest or sneaking down to Hogsmeaade after nightfall.
5. Family – without her family she’d be lost. Might as well let the Dementors have her if her family disappears, she’d be happier that way.
6. Flirting – when she realizes that the boy is flirting anyway, she positively glows at it. She’s a helpless romantic inside but knows that love isn’t like it is in fairy tales.
7. Animals – any shape or size, magical beast or muggle domesticated. When she visits her family in the states she must go to a zoo to see the animals there even if she’s been there a hundred times.
8. Her stuffed animal – she still to this day sleeps with a penguin that her best friend bought for her birthday years ago. She’s not ashamed of him! Embrace the child within!
Dislikes:
1. Easter – she’s never been a big fan of easter, even if it includes two of her likes, bubblegum and chocolate. It’s just not a fun holiday to her.
2. Arrogance – there are VERY few people in her mind that are worthy of showing arrogance and most of the time the people that show it aren’t them. It bugs her but she doesn’t show it unless the person is really high on him/herself.
3. Marmite peanut butter – seriously? EW!
4. Knitting – her Mammy has had her knitting with her when she visits for as long as she can remember, and she absolutely detests it. She always stabs her finger with the needles unintentionally and those buggers can be sharp!
5. Cricks in her neck – Sometimes Callie falls asleep awkwardly and wakes up with these annoyances. She can sometimes be in a bad mood for them.
6. Dementors – Her older cousins used to tell her scary stories concerning dementors sneaking into her bedroom window at night and she’s never liked them since.
7. Math – it was her worst subject in grade school. Numbers give her nightmares!
8. People who live by trends – why can’t anyone just be their selves these days?
Patronus:
Callie’s patronus is a little penguin. It is this because Callie herself is very inquisitive and likes to be in a group of friends most of the time. Deep down she is quite sociable even if people don’t see it, she’s also cuddly and who would refuse a cuddle from a penguin? C’mon..XD
Boggart:
Her family dead, starting with her parents then her brother. They’re usually staggering towards her bleeding profusely from some gaping wound asking for her help then they drop dead before she has time to react. Sometimes they are already dead and crawl towards her as the living dead. (Think the creepy ass crawling of the girl in The Ring movies *shudder*)
When in class practicing on a boggart, to make it go away she thinks of finger puppets she used to watch as a child and after crying Ridikkulus!the walking dead turn into giant finger puppets where one seizes a bat and whacks the other over the top of the head resulting in a hilarious squeak of surprise.

Report:
Callie is a hard working student, rarely getting into trouble most of the time. She should speak up more in class though, she knows her stuff but is shy about raising her hand.
Personal Statement:
Callie generally loves every class, learning is a secret love of hers. She once started to take Arithmancy but had to drop out of it after having a break down and sobbing to the professor that she had a trolls brain and couldn’t handle it. It was the numbers that did her in.. too many numbers. She loves history, but History of Magic was just WAY too dull for her, she almost always fell asleep in that class and is relieved that she scraped a passing grade to the point of not having to continue it. She loves mixing potions and learning about jinxes and charms. She’s been known to levitate or jinx someone if her temper gets the better of her. Course she ends up in detention from it but for the small time she had a laugh it was worth it.
History:
Fresh out of college, Reina landed a job with the St. Louis Tribune paper and got to travel to a few places all over the world reporting on strange things for her column. One year she ended up in France, able to visit her grandparents while she was there and also meet a quirky young lad by the name of Leon Harold. Leon is Irish and although his home was there, he was in France helping out the ministry with confiscating bewitched tea sets. The two had a short fling while Riena was in the country but after she left they both pined for the other for about two months before Leon turned up on Reina’s doorstep announcing that he had moved to the US to win her heart. It was no surprise to anyone when not four months later Leon asked for Reina’s hand in marriage and the couple were husband and wife a year later to the date of Leon showing up on her doorstep. Reina was very surprised when she learnt Leon was a wizard while dating him but had no qualms. She did wish that she was a witch herself but could only hope her children inherited their father’s gifts. On a blistering hot day in July the Harolds welcomed their daughter Callie Marie into the world.
By the time she was four, Callie was showing magical abilities much to the elation of both parents. Leon was called back to England to help with a rather big fiasco with bewitched toilets(which would throw back the contents of the water at unsuspecting Muggles) and eventually Leon’s traveling wore on the small family. At the age of seven, Callie’s parents moved her and her younger brother to Ireland so Leon could be closer to work and Reina got a job at the local paper.
Callie was a happy child, running around outside all hours of the day and night, or until her parents carried her inside. She loved being outdoors and still does. During school field trips she would sometimes make things happen unintentionally and one day had turned a boy that was picking on her and her friend upside down and dunked him into the fountain at the park, in the middle of a crowd. After that she was home schooled and spent the next year thinking magic was not something to flaunt, which is why she is meek in showing off her knowledge in classes.
She adores her parents and somewhat large family, loving that she has people there for her even in her darkest moments. She wants to prove that she is as smart as some people think she is, she’s slowly cracking her shell of insecurity about showing off. She’s hoping to possibly become and Auror or work in the ministry like her father because writing like her mum doesn’t interest her.
Roleplay Sample:
Calle walked into the Great Hall pulling on her outer robe, having practically ran down to lunch. She had lost track of the time in the library. Panting a bit she sat down next to her friend Tracey. “Hey Trace” she grinned, stuffing her potions book into her bag before dropping it on the floor behind her.
“Hey, where were you?” Tracey asked before taking another bite of her sandwich.
“Library.” Calle said with a slight shrug of her right shoulder as she picked food out to put on her plate. “I was looking up the ingredients for Felix Felicis.” She poured herself a glass of pumpkin juice
Tracey choked on her bite “What for?!” she cried then lowered her voice when several people turned their heads to look at her. “Sorry. What for? You’re not thinking about brewing it are you? You’d have to steal the ingredients..”
“Of course I’m not going to brew here, you goof. I quite like going to Hogwarts, and won’t be expelled for something as trivial as brewing a potion and stealing from a teacher” Calle said shaking her head starting in on her food.
After she was finished she tugged the dusty potions book out of her bag and set it on the table between her and Tracey. “We haven’t covered it yet in potions and I was reading up on it so I don’t screw it up when we do. That’s all.” She explained nudging her friend. “Why do you always think I’m going to do something wrong when I’m in the library?”
“Oh I don’t know.. because when you drug me there our second year and had that whole row of books screaming at us for being there landing up in detention for almost a month?” Tracey said rolling her eyes and she blew a bubble with her gum.
Calle laughed, grinning “It was fun, you can’t deny that.” And with that she promptly popped Tracey’s bubble, laughing loudly when it exploded all over her face.

Reina was very surprised when she learnt Leon was a wizard while dating him but had no qualms. She did wish that she was a witch herself but could only hope her children inherited their father’s gifts. On a blistering hot day in July the Harolds welcomed their daughter Callie Marie into the world.
By the time she was four, Callie was showing magical abilities much to the elation of both parents. Leon was called back to England to help with a rather big fiasco with bewitched toilets(which would throw back the contents of the water at unsuspecting Muggles) and eventually Leon’s traveling wore on the small family. At the age of seven, Callie’s parents moved her and her younger brother to Ireland so Leon could be closer to work and Reina got a job at the local paper.
Callie was a happy child, running around outside all hours of the day and night, or until her parents carried her inside. She loved being outdoors and still does. During school field trips she would sometimes make things happen unintentionally and one day had turned a boy that was picking on her and her friend upside down and dunked him into the fountain at the park, in the middle of a crowd. After that she was home schooled and spent the next year thinking magic was not something to flaunt, which is why she is meek in showing off her knowledge in classes.
She adores her parents and somewhat large family, loving that she has people there for her even in her darkest moments. She wants to prove that she is as smart as some people think she is, she’s slowly cracking her shell of insecurity about showing off. She’s hoping to possibly become and Auror or work in the ministry like her father because writing like her mum doesn’t interest her.
Roleplay Sample:
Calle walked into the Great Hall pulling on her outer robe, having practically ran down to lunch. She had lost track of the time in the library. Panting a bit she sat down next to her friend Tracey. “Hey Trace” she grinned, stuffing her potions book into her bag before dropping it on the floor behind her.
“Hey, where were you?” Tracey asked before taking another bite of her sandwich.
“Library.” Calle said with a slight shrug of her right shoulder as she picked food out to put on her plate. “I was looking up the ingredients for Felix Felicis.” She poured herself a glass of pumpkin juice
Tracey choked on her bite “What for?!” she cried then lowered her voice when several people turned their heads to look at her. “Sorry. What for? You’re not thinking about brewing it are you? You’d have to steal the ingredients..”
“Of course I’m not going to brew here, you goof. I quite like going to Hogwarts, and won’t be expelled for something as trivial as brewing a potion and stealing from a teacher” Calle said shaking her head starting in on her food.
After she was finished she tugged the dusty potions book out of her bag and set it on the table between her and Tracey. “We haven’t covered it yet in potions and I was reading up on it so I don’t screw it up when we do. That’s all.” She explained nudging her friend. “Why do you always think I’m going to do something wrong when I’m in the library?”
“Oh I don’t know.. because when you drug me there our second year and had that whole row of books screaming at us for being there landing up in detention for almost a month?” Tracey said rolling her eyes and she blew a bubble with her gum.
Calle laughed, grinning “It was fun, you can’t deny that.” And with that she promptly popped Tracey’s bubble, laughing loudly when it exploded all over her face.
