Height:5'4 1/2"
Build:Slender
Wand: My wand is made of Australian black wood with a Runespoor scale core. This wand is fairly powerful, best used for healing and defensive spells or curses of great destructive power. Essentially, great with the Dark Arts or Defense against the Dark arts. Mediocre, or non-powerful spells aren't its strong point. Basically, it's weakness lies in Transfiguration.
Patronus: My Patronus, my guardian, is a Panther. And the first time I ever produce a corporal Patronus I think of Christmas, when I was seven years old, and my family and I stayed in a small vacation home in Tahoe, in the United States, just the three of us. I woke up to the warm feel of my bed and the sound of Christmas Carols coming from my radio. It was snowing outside my window and, excited, I ran to my parents' room and jumped on the bed to wake them up. Mom cooked us crepes with nutella and ripe strawberries and whipped cream, and dad made some homemade hot chocolate. Then, finally, we went to open our presents. Sitting there, as a family, with no pretenses and need for image, with everyone smiling and laughing... I couldn't feel more happy or loved.
Boggart: My worst fear is seeing those I care about get hurt, and not being able to do a damn thing about it.
Dementor: The worst day of my life was when I was ten, and I discovered the truth about the Last Battle of the Dark Wars, of my father's participation and everyone's suffering. I found out through a Pensive I found in my father's office. I've never felt more ashamed of my family, nor more frightened at the pain that I was shown, at the knowledge that people could be like that.
Amortentia:[javascript:add("[td]","[/td]")/color][/b] When I am around Amortentia, the aromas that fill my senses are those of roses, hot chocolate, and spring rains.
Nicknames: My parents usually call me either by my first name or by Nina. Depending on who they are, my best friends also call me Nina, while my Quidditch mates call my JZ.
Clothing Style: I prefer clothes that are lacy and/or flowery. I like elegant and modest, yet modern, and I'm used to high class material-clothes of silk or cotton or such. Usually, for everyday clothes, I wear jeans or slimming and/or flowing skirt with a lacy or otherwise decorated top, my preferred colors being white and violet.

Pensieve:
I was born on a beautiful spring morning in the nursery of Moonlit Manor, surrounded by friends and family. I grew up a very happy child. I had everything- good looks, money, a happy family- and my mother always made sure I wasn't completely spoiled. I had lots of toys, sure, but it wasn't like I always got everything I ever wanted, and I had an older brother to look out for me and keep me in line. I also had to learn to share my toys with my god brother. We have two house elves, Mimi and Sunny, who are sisters, and while they cook meals and clean the general areas of the house, my mother insisted on being the one who took care of my brother and I when we were little...meaning I learned to clean my room and keep it that way.
Then when I was four, Grandma Liza, Dad's mum, died. We'd never really been very close, mostly because she wasn't around much. Always off traveling in some exotic, far off country. But she always came home for Christmas, and usually some time during the summer, with fantastical tales. Her death was hard on all of us, but none more so than Dad. Sometimes I'd find him in the sitting room, staring at the fire, his eyes sparkling with unshed tears. I'd sit beside him on the couch, my head on his shoulder, and hug him as best as I could. I didn't like seeing him sad.
Time passed and live moved on.
I grew up in a world where purebloods weren’t as powerful as they had been before the Wars. People hadn’t quite gotten back to trusting my kind completely. My mother, who had grown up in a Light family, greatly impressed on me that everyone was equal-there were no purebloods, Muggleborns, and Muggles, we were all simply human.
When I was six my older brother, Rohan, started Hogwarts. He was sorted into Ravenclaw, like Mum had been. He was a great student- top of his year. I was really proud of him- still am- don't get me wrong, but sometimes I wished he hadn't gone. Dad was never home and Mum, of the opinion that I was old enough that I didn't have to be constantly watched, began spending more time at work.
Left to my own devices, I discovered a talent for playing the piano and a love of singing, both of which I'm always careful to hide from my parents. They wouldn't approve of the none-classical music, especially the Muggle songs. Not to mention the singing itself. It simply isn't proper.
At the age of seven I began my training, learning things like history, titles, and etiquette. I was taught all the proper phrases of greeting, and the individual titles: whom to address as Lord and Lady, or Sir and Madam, or with a simple Mister and Missus. I learned of my great ancestry, of the general history of the wizarding world, and of politics. I learned meditation, so as to help control my powers and emotions, as well as some magical theory and basic potion-making. That was also the year I got my first real brooms, instead of the limited kiddy ones. I really don't know why everyone thinks us rich purebloods have it all easy. Those study sessions were hard. Long and hard.
I've been plenty of places throughout my life. Every Christmas my parents, brother, god family, and I all go traveling somewhere. I've been to France and Germany, Italy and India, New York, Spain Brazil, and so many others. My family owns apartments condos and villas all over the world. During the summer we'd always stay a week or two on the beach; either in Hawaii or on our private island in the Mediterranean Sea. My parents named it Rosewynd Isle in my honor, as roses gave always been my favorite flower and the island is simply covered in them I know, I know, I sound rich and spoiled. I never said I wasn't rich, because I am, and I didn't say my parents didn't spoil me, because they do. I'm just not a whiny, selfish, arrogant prat. I'm fairly grounded. My parents made sure of that.
Finally, at the age of eleven, Julius and I were old enough to start Hogwarts. I was ecstatic! It didn't last. Everything went wrong at the Sorting. Such are the cruel tricks of fate. My god brother was called up before me and quickly joined the rest of the Slytherin House. I had to wait. I was last. Everyone expected ne to be in either Slytherin, because of my heritage, or Ravenclaw, like my brother, as I was a quick study. It didn't turn out that way.
I crossed my fingers as the Sorting hat was placed on my head. Then, despite all my efforts, the word that was called out shocked the hall into silence. Gryffindor.
To my surprise my family reacted quite well to this news, and it was then that I decided that it didn't matter what house someone was in, what mattered was the person in it. With this new outlook I began my quest.
Most of the Gryffindors avoided me, but there was a girl in my year, a middle class Muggleborn by the name of Adila Hill, who knew nothing of my family history and became my first friend. When told my story by another group of students she refused to judge me in it. Then our group was joined by a pair of Hufflepuff twins, Qamar and his sister Lumina- halfbloods and rather poor, but extremely friendly and loyal. Next was Chaz, a Ravenclaw boy- middle class half-blood. He was rather brilliant. In the end there were seven of us: myself, my god brother, Qam, Adi, Chaz, Mina, and Arya, a Slytherin girl, also in my year. They were, and remain to be, my best friends.
So began my Hogwarts years.

Sample:[/size][/ul][/font]Janinae stared out the window, watching the rain fall like crystal droplets from the heavens. Glancing around to make sure no one was paying her any attention, she stood up and quickly made her way down from Gryffindor Tower and through the hallways of Hogwarts castle. Finally reaching the front doors, she reached forward to push them open and-
"Nina, what are you doing?"
She spun around and smiled guiltily at the new comer. "Hi Julius. Long time no see?"
"You saw me in class this morning," he pointed out.
"Oh. Right."
He rolled his eyes. "No, seriously, what are you doing."
"I was just...umm, going outside?" It came out as more of a question than a statement.
"It's pouring rain," he pointed out.
"I know."
"And you still want to go outside."
"Yes."
"Despite the fact that you'll get completely soaked."
"Mhm."
"You're mental."
Nina raised an eyebrow. "And you're just figuring this out? After fourteen years? I thought Slytherins were supposed to be more perceptive than that. That's just disappointing."
He rolled his eyes."Sarcasm, the lowest form of wit."
"Only to those who aren't smart enough to understand it," she retorted.
He laughed. "Fine, fine, go do your little rain storm ceremony. It won't be my fault if you get sick."
"It's not a ceremony," Janinae called after him, "it's called dancing. And I won't get sick!"
He just gave her a brief wave over his shoulder as a goodbye before disappearing down the hall.
Ugh. Stupid, bossy god brothers. He drove her crazy!
But she knew that there was no way she could ever live without him.
"Not being dead isn't the same as living. Every day you have to make that choice and truly live."
