VERONICA WILLOWS![]() [Veronica Ivy Willows] 11 December 2031 Auckland, New Zealand [Short | Inspired | Has Big Plans] Spending her time pulling things apart and working out how to put them back together again.Likes checking grammar; eating ice-cream; being a face-painted, screaming spectator at sports matches.Dislikes sleeping in strange places, and being underestimated due to her shortness. [Strengths] Her motivation for her studies and projects. [Weaknesses] Her tendency to do too much for people who don't return the favour. [Hopes] That one day she'll create something important for the world. [Fears] That the nightmares will never stop; being outside in the middle of a strong wind. Due to its length, Veronica often ties or clips her hair out of her face - unless she's too engaged with a project to notice it [Hair] Highly expressive, her brown eyes reveal the depth of her emotion and feelings, even if her words do not [Eyes] Veronica is quite short for her age, and has her head permanently tilted upwards when talking to those around her [Build] Her own clothes often tend to be mismatched, as Veronica only pays attention to trying to keep her school robes neat and tidy [Style] [THE CLOCKWORK GIRL] And she's bent over a workbench, messy hair, greasy hands, the sound of violins in her ears. [justify]When by herself, Veronica often becomes completely caught up in whatever project she is currently working on, whether this is putting some kind of machine back together, drawing up a new kind of invention, or trying to memorise entire Shakespeare scripts at a time. However, her attention and focus is easily shifted, and she'll happily talk to just about anyone, explaining all her ideas and thoughts and asking their opinions at a highly rapid pace. Her brain often thinks faster than she can speak, so her descriptions can be rambling, disjointed or just plain confusing. Veronica is happiest when discussing ideas and plans with like-minded people, yet enjoys the company of most people. Although slow to offer more in-depth personal information about herself, she loves to find out what things other people are passionate about and enjoys helping them out with things. She is often embarrassed by praise and thanks, yet is saddened when people don't seem to care about the effort she went to in order to make something special or helpful for them. However, Veronica meets most of her life with a can-do attitude, and has the ability to stay motivated and keep pushing through her workload even under the stress and pressures of time and other kinds of conflict. Depending on the project, she will either pour all her energy into every little detail, or sail through it in order to move on to the next thing that has caught her attention. Mechanically-minded, she can often be found making little things and can sometimes be so wrapped up in what she is doing that she will forget, or refuse, to do anything else until she has finished.[/justify] ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ENFP | The Campaigner doesn't hesitate to step out of their comfort zone when they want to experience new things · goes to great lengths to be selfless, caring and supportive · excited about findings of projects, will share them with anyone who'll listen · adaptable and spontaneous · it's not uncommon for them to lose a bit of sleep asking themselves why someone did what they did, what it might mean, and what to do about it · loathe being micromanaged and restrained · need to feel like they're pushing boundaries and exploring ideas constantly
[WILLOWS & MCBRIDE] If you can't hear any noise, they're not home. [justify]Veronica grew up with one foot in both the muggle and wizarding worlds, the eldest daughter of Derek and Kathleen Willows, with two younger twin brothers named Evan and Ethan. Due to their overwhelming similarity at such a young age, Veronica calls them both 'E.' The house is usually noisy and messy, with paper piled on every surface and objects littered everywhere. No one is too concerned about this, as long as most of the grease stays in the garage... or at least away from the paper. Derek is a muggle from a family of generally quite sensible and hard-working administration and office workers, who look upon Derek's decision to fix cars for a living with fond bemusement. Although they were initially unsure of his decision to marry Kathleen, a loud Scotswoman who works in 'research' (although what kind of research they just can't quite say for sure), they have since become almost as enamoured with the woman and their subsequent children as Derek is. None of them, of course, know that Kathleen and the children are witches and wizards, and while keeping the secret can be a little stressful in times of the twins hijinks, it doesn't tend to cause too much disruption. Veronica has only met her wizarding family in Scotland twice, but loves the fact that they all just as messy and loud as her mother is. A lot of Veronica's hobbies and interests are a direct result of what she finds her parents doing. From a young age she spent much of her time in her father's work garage, 'helping' him fix the cars, or with other little odd jobs. Her thirst for knowledge and interest in study is all from her mother, however, and she will often read any book she can find in the house no matter what it is about. As such, she deeply admires both of her parents and is often inspired and motivated in her work by the thought of their interest in what she is doing. As her brothers are five years younger, and have each other to bother, Veronica doesn't spend a lot of her time with them, due to the twins' tendency to break anything they come into contact with, and the fact that Veronica herself is keen on spouting out an endless stream of information that Evan and Ethan can't be bothered sitting around listening to.[/justify] Credits: Jung type and description from here.

IN ACTION [CURRENTLY] I'm glad I'm able to participate in my classes fully once again. [justify]Veronica is halfway through her third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and thankful that things with her health seem to be going much more smoothly this semester. She threw herself into her studies as usual, working hard to make sure she put her best effort into her classes - particularly in Ancient Runes, where she surprised her professor and classmates by building and charming a small boxed stage and mechanical figures as part of her research project. Veronica ended up embarrassed by how much she had gone above and beyond what had been expected of her, but was pleased that the professor seemed to receive the presentation favourably. Socially, she kept mostly to herself as usual, but always made time for her friends whenever they needed it.[/justify] ![]() 2045 | Y30[THIRD YEAR OF SCHOOL]I have a lot of work to do to make up for my failings last year.

IN THE PAST![]() 2031-43[CHILDHOOD] How can you not be excited by all the knowledge the world has to offer? [justify]Veronica Ivy Willows was born at 11:21am on Thursday, the 11th of December. Overdue by a week, Kathleen was thoroughly fed up with being pregnant and just wanted her child to be out of her body already - she certainly wasn't sleeping through the night with the equivalent of a beach ball attached to her front anyway, so she figured she may as well get to the endless nights of crying and feeding already. She and Derek had decided to keep it a surprise as to whether they were having a girl or a boy, and once Kathleen finally went into labour she practically marched her husband out the door and off to the nearest hospital. Although the last few months had been spent debating which of their preferred names would end up being their final choice, they agreed that Veronica fit the small and seemingly contemplative baby girl best. Before she was old enough to get around on her own Veronica spent a lot of her time looking at her surroundings, and always fixated on the new and the exciting with bright shining eyes. Items that she took a particular liking to never failed to find their way into her cot, and once she began to walk there wasn't any low-reaching item that was safe from her grasp. She enjoyed being in the company of her parents, and quite soon began to find her way out into her father's workshed where he taught her his love of gears and machines - and she adopted it whole-heartedly. The more she grew, the more she immersed herself in both the academic minset of her mother and the practicality of her father, spending almost every waking minute of her life in the pursuit of knowledge, eager to understand the world around her and how she could perhaps shape it to become a better place. Her idealism and enthusiasm was either extremely catching or extremely annoying, depending on the individual, and so she tended to have more casual than close friends at her muggle school, leaving her slightly uncertain of herself in social situations. Another reoccurring problem that made itself apparent was that of a nightmare, which began early on in Veronica's childhood. Only ever the one, it made sleeping in new places hard for the young girl and she soon got used to spending time reading or working quietly in her room on various projects on the nights she was awoken.[/justify] [ACQUAINTANCES]
![]() 2043-44 | Y28[FIRST YEAR OF SCHOOL]There are so many wonderful things to learn here. [justify]Veronica eagerly anticipated her approaching time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and upon her arrival always seemed to enjoy every minute of every day. The nights, however, were a different story, as her slow adjustment to sleeping in a strange place brought about more frequent nightmares than she had become used to in recent years. Veronica spent several nights at the school awake, unable to return to slumber after waking from a nightmare. She distracted herself during these hours both with her studies (which certainly contributed to her high grades throughout the year), and with after-hours visits to the Owlery to meet with her friend Tomas Wode - a rule-breaking act that always made her anxiety levels soar. Though the number of friends she made were small, Veronica cherishes them highly - particularly Phoebe Holland, whose matching intelligence and curiousity were apparent to Veronica from the moment they met.

[MISCELLANEOUS] I Could Have Been More Prepared | Take Suggestion as a Cat Laps Milk | Ravenclaw House Meeting | The Stands: Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor (Game 5) ![]() 2044-45 | Y29[SECOND YEAR OF SCHOOL]I'm so looking forward to all the new things I'll learn. Although Veronica threw herself into her studies during her second year with as much enthusiasm as she had done during the previous year, she also found herself in a predicament with her best friend Phoebe Holland just before the Christmas holidays - they were found attempting to brew a potion by themselves before they had even taken the second year course. Veronica was ashamed of her actions, feeling as though she had let her professors and other authority figures down, as well as guilt over the fact that she (in her mind) caused the potion failure in the first place. Although she wanted to use the second half of the year to get back into the school's good graces, an unfortunate combination of consequential anxiety and stress heightened her nightmares. The severe lack of sleep, in addition to contracting a relatively nasty virus, caused Veronica to become quite sick over the remainder of the semester, meaning she was unable to complete her studies to anywhere near a satisfactory degree. It was an end to her terrible year that made her absolutely miserable.[/justify] [IMPORTANT THREADS] The Water's Coming in Fast | Dragged to Shore [BEST FRIENDS]

CURRICULUM VITAE [DOGWOOD & FWOOPER FEATHER CORE] Polished, 9 1/2 Inches, Swishy. [justify]Upon receiving her letter from Hogwarts, Veronica began thinking in earnest upon which wand would be most appropriate for her - and more importantly, would be appropriate for use in her future projects. It was important to her that her eventual wand work in tandem with the magic she wanted from it, and she waited on her visit to Ollivander's with ever-present anxiety. Despite knowing that 'the wand chooses the wizard' (or witch, as the case happened to be), Veronica was unable to completely trust the saying seeing as she had never gone through the process of buying a wand before. Her time at the store was fraught with concern and apologies to the clerk each time a wand didn't manage to work for her, but quickly enough she was matched with the one for her - signalled by the loud pealing of bells emitting from the end of the wand. [/justify]
![]() [HOGWARTS NEW ZEALAND] But I don't understand why people don't like school? [justify]Veronica is highly excited and enthusiastic about going off to wizarding school, and can't wait to learn more about anything and everything. However, she is also worried about several things that will result from this change in her schooling, namely the fact that she'll be missing out on learning cool muggle subjects like maths and science, and the fact that she hates sleeping in strange places due to a recurring nightmare she has. She tries not to think about this latter worry too much though as, apart from foregoing attendance at Hogwarts altogether, there's not much she can do about it. Veronica was sorted into Ravenclaw, a process that was very quick to her utmost relief. Although she would have been happy with any house she may have ended up in, she knew that the house of the eagles was more likely to be the one for her being as that was the house her mother was placed in, and is pleased that she will be surrounded by people who share her enthusiasm for knowledge and discovery.
