Rowan Wand 15" Essence of Fang of Basilisk
The Basics
Character's Name: Charlene Hyunae Jung
Character's Birthdate: August 7th, 2011
Hometown: Seoul, Korea
Blood Status: Half-blood
Wand: N/A yet
Hogwarts House: Gryffindor
Appearance
Hair: She almost always keeps her hair above her shoulders, usually even around chin-length, like a guy's hair. She never puts it up as she finds it a bother to carry around hair ties, which she knows she'll lose anyways. Her hair is parted on the left and her bangs fall just above her right eye. Her hair is jet black and she never dyes or colors it.
Eyes: Her eyes are very dark brown and almond-shaped, although she likes to say that they're black.
Height: 5'6"
Style: Comfort is essential to her, even if that means a horrible sense of fashion. Her uniform is a couple sizes too big for her so she'll always have enough space to move around. When she's not in her uniform, she can be found wearing loose-fitted straight or skinny jeans and a simple graphic tee. She loves hoodies and funky patterns.
Other Distinguishing Features: Her pale skin, high cheekbones, pointed chin, and exotic eyes give her a regal sort of look. She especially likes her collarbones, which are very defined. She is also a bit more muscular that most girls due to her avid love of swimming.
A Little Deeper
Personality: Charlene is, more or less, your average girl. She’s a bit shy when you first meet her and she isn’t one to start off a conversation, but when you get to know her, you may wonder if she is always drunk or high or something. She places huge emphasis on friends and family, as well as respect, due to being raised in an Asian family. She tries to respect elders, and even her peers, and is usually patient with everyone. But in those rare times when her patience runs out, her fury is quite a sight to see. Once she gets mad, she doesn’t forgive or forget very easily. Although she wouldn’t admit it, she is very proud, and forgiving would mean stepping down for someone else. Her pride also makes her stubborn. She likes to get her ways, preferably peaceably, and although she will listen to people with an open-mind, in the end, she usually still likes her idea best.

However, with the huge emphasis Charlene places on relationships, she is one of the most loyal and trustworthy people out there. Any random person could trust her with their secret and she would not tell. She isn’t one to easily put her trust in others, but she can be trusted. She only tells her secrets and shares her deepest emotions (which she can hide very well) to the people closest to her, her family being some of them. Charlene would never even think of betraying any of them.

On a lighter note, Charlene has an optimistic view on life, and she believes that she ought to live her life with no regrets. So if that means eating all day and being lazy, she’ll do just that. Of course, it doesn’t, although she does have a large obsession for food. She’s passionate about loved ones, and certain things that she likes (eating being one of them). But when she isn’t motivated, she is pretty lazy, and it’s difficult to drag her into doing something she doesn’t feel like doing. Appropriately, her favorite place is the roof, where she won’t be found while she daydreams and thinks and dozes off. Charlene is a lovable person though, and is hard to hate (unless she hates you first, cause then you have a problem). Jokes and smiles are always welcome around her, along with an occasional prank, as long as it isn’t way too out of line.

History: Eunji (mother) and Dongmin (father) met after a concert that he was working at, where Dongmin was attacked by a stray dementor in a isolated street outside the concert hall. Eunji couldn’t just let him suffer, although she did not want to reveal herself to him. She performed her Patronus, which saved Dongmin’s soul. A year later, they were married, and three years into their marriage, they had Charlene.

Charlene grew up fairly normally, although with a few magical mishaps such as disappearing homework or her shoes turning up charred and burnt every month in the yard. She always attended the local public school in Seoul, and lived in America with her aunt during the summers to learn English. It was her father’s wish that she lead as normal a life as possible, and whenever the subject came up in conversation, he would always put it aside, for later.

In fact, when he had time to spare, Dongmin would bring Charlene to work with him. She’d always gotten along well with the celebrities, who would give her vocal lessons or dance lessons, which she loved.

Eunji, on the other hand, showed her magic, which also fascinated her. So when the question came up whether she would keep on leading her “normal” life or go to Hogwarts and learn magic, she was torn between the two. Eventually, she decided she’d go to Hogwarts, since she could always come back for her normal life in the summer.

Family:
Mother: Eunji Han; 37 years old; Witch (half-blood)
Eunji is, in Charlene's opinion, the best mother in the whole wide world. She’s kind and handles everything (including Charlene’s occasional fits) with patience and understanding. She’s the one Charlene can go to talk to on everything.

Father: Dongmin Jung; 38 years old; Muggle
Dongmin is humorous, and although he is against Charlene’s desire to become a witch, he has eventually come to accept it. He is fairly lenient and well connected in Korea, where the family resides. His current job is a manager in JYPE, a Korean entertainment company.
