Birthdate : October 11th, 2039
Hometown : Auckland, NZ
Blood-status : Mixed-blood
Education : Hogwarts NZ - Slytherin

Wand
: Curved 12 1/2 Inch Flexible Elm Wand with Dragon Heartstring Core
Wood : A complex wand capable of the most advanced magic, Elm does not often make a mistake or fuddle a spell - it is highly dependable to a well matched master.
Core : This wand core is popular with the dark wizards, but useful for all as wands of this nature seem to learn spells with more ease than other wands do. A wand with dragon heartstring will contain a great deal of power, so it is advised that the wand caster know how to handle such power.

PERSONALITY
Pleasant | Calculating | Perfectionist | Self-centered | Composed


Her parent's dream child, Brooke does her best to live up to her family's high expectations. While outwardly polite and friendly, Brooke is a keenly observant and calculating girl, distinctly aware of what she wants and how she can get it. Fiercely clever, Brooke was pushed from a young age to do well, and considers her intellectual success a key part of her personality. She enjoys being in control of her learning and social situations and she's coming second as a personal failing. Brooke pushes herself hard and is not able to relate to others well outside of seeing them as stepping stones for her own goals. The one except to this is within her own family, especially her sister, of whom she greatly craves their attention and approval.

Spoilt by a well-off family, while Brooke's manners are well-rounded, she is often not overly considerate of others and fails to think of their needs or situation before her own. Despite her calculating nature, this means Brooke can often under-estimate others or not fully consider how her actions may affect them. She feels entitled to own wants and goals and can get frustrated if she feels she is not gaining the success or recognition she deserves.

Strengths : Focused, Intelligent, Observant
Weaknesses : Distant, Competitive, Selfish
Likes : Wizard's chess, History, Reading
Dislikes : Loud music, Losing, Being Surprised

FAMILY + HISTORY

The second daughter of the Townsend family, her parent's high expectations of success shifted to Brooke at a young age when her older sister Sydney made it clear she had no intention of doing what she was told. Brooke to her credit has shouldered this burden well, though her parents are rarely free from their busy schedule to engage with her much.

When they were younger, Brooke and Sydney were very close, spending most of their time under their various nannies or house staffs' watchful eyes. Unfortunately, as they got older, Sydney began to act out against their strict and distant upbringing, and when Brooke did not follow suit, their relationship quickly fractured. While this rift pains Brooke, she is not able to disobey her parent's wishes enough to ever hope to fix it, though she still hopes Sydney will one day come around and calm down.

Finally arriving at Hogwarts, Brooke had high expectations to do well, both her own and from her parents. She was pleased to be sorted into the same house as her older sister, though Sydney unsurprisingly was less than impressed, committing herself to ignoring Brooke's existence the entire year. Focusing on her studies, Brooke forgo attempting to join clubs or make many new friends, something she hopes to change next year. Thankfully, she was still able to do well, achieving good grades and keeping up her running competition with her friends Ivy and Delilah.

SECOND YEAR

After last year, Brooke decided to try and branch out more this year. She was already finding excelling at Hogwarts was more complicated than just getting good grades, so joining clubs for her second year could only help things. Brooke joined Heta Omega and, in an attempt to possibly get closer to her sister, the SDA. Unfortunately, despite her good class performance, Brooke lost in the first round of the SDA Duelling Tournament and spent the rest of the year determined to work on her spellwork so it would not happen again.

While Brooke threw herself easily into her studies once more this year, she still found she struggled to relate to her fellow classmates, losing a lot of time to focusing on her new elective studies and little else. Her relationships with her roommates excepting perhaps Luisaidh and Penny still remained tense and Brooke also managed to run afoul of Jenna Irons and Seraphina My this year as well. In an attempt to raise her reputation some, Brooke threw a rather popular game of spin the bottle and also managed to cinch top points for her house by the end of the year, but it still left her wanting more and Brooke swore she'd focus less on school and more on social climbing next year.

FOURTH YEAR

Determined to outshine both socially and academically, Brooke entered her fourth year with great confidence. It seemed of little use however, no matter how much Brooke tried, she failed to make many new friends or stand out in class. She did well enough, scoring straight O's in her classes, but still remained unnoticed by her peers, professors, or parents. Frustrated, Brooke turned her efforts instead onto Hester Macgillivray, intent if she could tame some of Hester's uncouthness, she could do anything. It was a marginal success, and despite another crushing defeat in the school's duelling tournament, Brooke finished the year with some hope for her social life at least.

FIFTH YEAR
DBpajNh.png

Brooke's fifth year got off to a bad start with the realization that not only had she been passed over for prefect, but that the likes of Liusaidh, Flynn North, and even Delilah had gotten badges instead of her. The year continued to worsen as Brooke's OWL classes got underway and she was met with the unwelcome realization that she was no longer able to simply coast through all her classes without effort to pass. Suddenly, her essays were harder to write, her study hours longer, and even still Brooke was struggling to scrape together the usual outstanding grades she considered integral to herself. Struggling through out the year, Brooke also butted heads with Hester, officially ending her tentative friendship with the girl after a fight over Hester's toad, as well as Brooke missing out on school events due to feeling so busy. When the year finally came to an end, Brooke was more than glad to see it go.

SIXTH YEAR

Brooke's determination to start her sixth year off on a better foot came crashing down almost immediately with the discovery that several more of her classmates, including Ivy, had also been made prefects yet she once again had been passed over. This year also saw Brooke coming her closest ever to winning the school duelling tournament, only to lose in the finals to Harper once again.
Not wanting to wallow in her own mediocrety for too long, Brooke found a much needed distracted in Natalia, who she was finding she was beginning to like far more than a normal friend. Unfortunately, the end of the year saw their relationship left on a sour note when Brooke, speaking her mind for once, stepped directly into one of Natalia's insecurities and the pair were left with their deep feelings unacknowledged.

SEVENTH YEAR
vA6oC9e.jpg

Now thoroughly disillusioned with her place at school and the world at large as she continued to fail to stand out amongst her peers, Brooke settled in to keep her head down for her final year so she could hurry up and graduate so she could move on with her life. This did mean that little changed in Brooke's circumstances and she managed to scrape by in her NEWTs, achieving the bare minimum for her goals and little else, barely having time to interact with friends or even attend clubs anymore. Brooke finished school with little to show for herself and a lack of indentity when she was unable to live up to the high expectations she'd always set for herself for so long.
