Hometown: Bluff, New Zealand
Birthplace: Windsor, England
Blood Status: Mixed Blood
Wand: Curved 13 Inch Swishy Ash Wand with Kelpie Hair Core
Length: A strange length for a wand and a number which symbolizes misfortune.
Style: Bending to its side, this wand is more difficult to aim than its straighter counterparts but provides character that some simply cannot pass by.
Wood: 'Ash is Stubborn,' as the saying goes. Ash wands bond to their owner and do not do well in the hands of others. The master of an Ashen wand may well be stubborn, but arrogance and pride will be met with a wand that is even more stubborn than the wizard!
Core: Although a popular wand core in the past, Kelpie hair has fallen out of favour in recent years. It is useful for transfigurations.
Flexibility: Swishy: A wand which can quickly cast spells but may need to cast more than one to accomplish the job.
Hogwarts House: Slytherin
Hair: Blanche's hair is black with a tight curl pattern, and she usually wears it in small, well accessorised braids.
Eyes: Blanche has deep brown eyes, dark enough to almost look black.
Build: Slender and lanky, Blanche is tall for her age and bordering on gangly.
Complexion: Rich, warm brown.
Style: Blanche's style is eccentric, and leans towards a punk aesthetic.
Distinguishing Features: Blanche's ears are quite prominent, and she has a scar on her right knee from falling from a broom.
Playby: Willow Smith
Personality: Blanche tends to keep her emotions below the surface, preferring to assess a situation before throwing herself into it headfirst. She cares for the people around her but prefers to show it in more subtle ways, by helping them out in ways they might not even notice. She's a dedicated artist, enjoying abstract work in particular. When she has decided a project, cause, or person is worthy of her focus she is extremely dedicated and will give 100% of her time and attention. She has trouble with authority at times, pushing back often aggressively against rules she finds unfair or nonsensical.

-Blanche is a creative thinker, and often finds unusual ways of doing things and solving problems.

Weaknesses:
-Blanche can get caught up in a grudge, and often hangs on to negative feelings longer than is necessary.
-Blanche finds it difficult to change her mind/direction once she's chosen a path, and while she'll try and think of creative ways to take things, abandoning her original course of action often doesn't occur to her until it's too late.
-Blanche sometimes neglects other needs/responsibiliites when she's fixated on her current project.
Hobbies:
Painting - Blanche has enjoyed painting her entire life, and loves experimenting with new styles and techniques.
Fashion - Blanche has an eccentric sense of fashion, and loves finding new ways to express herself through clothing.

Crochet - Blanche learned to crochet young, and enjoys making clothes for herself and her friends to wear.

History: Blanche was born in England but raised in New Zealand, to Phillip Broomhead and Edith Sedgewick. The Broomhead family is notable for having once been renowned broom manufacturers, whose reputation was permanently destroyed after an incident in 1869, where a team of all Broomhead brooms malfunctioned and flew out of the pitch during the World Cup, forfeiting the match. Since then the Broomheads have kept their heads down, viewing the incident as a source of great same. As a result, Blanche had a very low-key upbringing in Bluff, far from the family history. The twins were born in England on a visit to see family, but other than that she has spent her life in relative isolation in New Zealand, homeschooled by her mother alongside her older twin brother Silas. She grew up almost never separated from her brother, who she viewed as the other half of herself. Unfortunately, due to the different in their birthdays, Silas wound up being accepted to Hogwarts a year before Blanche, an experience she found traumatising as she had to learn to fend for herself for the first time.
Health: Blanche has always been in good health, other than a mild allergy to some pollens.
Goals: To find a way to restore her family's good name.
Fears: Hurting the people she loves, being alone.
Secrets: Blanche is more bothered than her family's history than she likes to admit.
Regrets: Blanche regrets not making more of a fuss when Silas started Hogwarts. She often wonders what would have happened if she had made a proper complaint with the school and petitioned to be allowed to join him.
