Full Name: Claire Belle Adkins
Nickname(s): CB (by her father), Claire-Bear (by close friends)
Etymology & How The Name Fits: Claire is a name of Latin origin and means clear and bright. The 'analysis' of this name, given to the parents by a psychologist, shows that a child with this name should be responsible, expressive and friendly. So far, in Claire's small life, she has shown all of these traits. Her name is supposed to project self-confidence, and a need for people. All of the things that the psychologist said, so far, are coming true.

</SIZE>
Hair Color and Style: Claire's hair is a dark brown, almost black color, and curls lightly. When she was a child, she had light brown hair, that gradually got darker with age, just like her father's did. Being a farm girl, a lot of Claire's styles for her hair revolve around up-dos. She loves to wear her hair down, but with all the work she does, it tends to get in her way. She loves wearing pig-tails, and a braid down her back. she prides herself in her looks, and her hair is included in that pride. When she is given her small allowance, she spends it on hair product to keep it smooth. She trims the ends herself, learning how to cut from grooming the horses. She still has issues cutting her bangs, so usually she just lets them grow out with the rest of her hair, not seeing a point in paying someone to cut them.
Eyes: Electric blue, is the first description that comes to mind, when Claire looks at her eyes. though she doesn't care for them all that much, she still admires them, having been taught to love who she was and how she was made. Her eyes are what could be considered close set, with perky lids. She has eyes that light up brightly when she smiles, and cannot hide any of her emotions. She is an open book through her eyes. They could almost be considered hazel, because they seem to change to grey when she's a little more sad. Though Claire appreciates her eyes, she has noticed that her right eye is a little smaller than her left, and considers it a flaw.
Body Type, Height, and Weight: Claire has a very typical body type for a girl her age. She has just started to hit puberty, and is growing with few curves. She has an almost athletic build, and is skinny. She weighs about 115 pounds, and is about 5'3. She is expected to grow at least two more inches before she is 15, but there is no telling if she will hit another growth spurt or not. Both of her parents are relatively tall, but her grandparents are short on her mother's side, so she has a chance of being short.
Complexion and Skin Type: Claire is rather pale for being an outdoors kind of girl. She doesn't have the smoothest of skin, but her pores are small, which means she will most likely not have very much acne. She does, however, have a skin tag right under her right ear, which could be considered a blemish.
Smile: Claire has that smile that seems to brighten the room. Her smile is almost always genuine, and is almost always followed by a small giggle. It is not a rare sight to see, she is almost always smiling.
Scars: Claire has multiple scars, having worked around big machinery and animals all her life. The most prominent scars are on her legs. When she was a child, she was trampled by a horse. Her right leg was broken and she had surgery on it, so she has a scar from the surgery. She also has the curve of a hoof print on her left thigh from the trampling.
Birthmark: The only birthmark that Claire has is a small red mark right in the middle of her left pinkie finger. It doesn't have a particular shape, just a small red dot. Her father says that that's where the angels kissed her.
Personality: Claire is just a genuinely sweet, and kind girl. She is a pacifist and has been raised that way from day one. She has been raised to treat people the way that she wants to be treated, which may not work out so well once she is in a school with so many other students. in a lot of ways, her kindness may get her in trouble, since Claire is what psychologists would call an Altruist. Altruism is the general concern for others. Though this may not seem like a bad thing, this could lead to her not taking care of herself, because she is taking care of so many others. She tends to put others before herself to an extreme, but she does not yet see the repercussions of this. Claire is always a smiling child, she can always find something that is bright in the world. Living on the farm, she has also learned to love all animals. Horses are her favorite, and she fulfills the southern-western, farmers daughter stereotype. She isn't always the brightest child, but she really is a sweet person.
Boggart: Becoming a cold person, seeing herself as a mean person.
Fears: Though animals and insects don't frighten Claire, she is afraid of the dark something fierce. She doesn't know what it is about the dark, but she has always slept with a night light, and probably always will. She hates going out at night, and hopes that she can bring a light with her to school. She is also easily startled by loud noises, and isn't a huge fan of trains. She doesn't like that they have the bright lights and make really loud noises.
Interests or Hobbies: Claire enjoys riding horses and just about anything that has to do with animals. Her parents have been training her for years to become a part of the rodeo. She also enjoys collecting butterflies, and has learned how to preserve them, and even raise them. If it has to do with animals or the outdoors, it will almost always be part of her hobbies. Claire has most recently picked up photography, and she enjoys taking photos of everything. She enjoys muggle photos and the moving photos as well.
Strengths: Claire finds her strengths in friend making and animal care. She is very confident of herself, and is very sure that she can make friends with just about anyone. She is very strong mentally, and can handle a lot of work. Though she doesn't have huge muscles, she is still physically strong as well. She has been throwing and bailing hay since she was old enough.
Weaknesses: Saying that kindness is a weakness may be cliche, but with Claire, it's true. She could get walked all over by anyone, and not even realize it. Also, she has a slight intelligence issue, not being as smart as some children her age. She struggles with learning, which is why she was pulled from school and is home schooled. Other than that, she also has a weakness to puppy dog eyes. Anyone who says please makes her putty in their hands.

Best school subjects: During home schooling, she found that she was the best at reading. She loves to read books, whether they are factual or not.

Plans for your future: Before discovering she was a wizard, Claire aspired to be a rodeo worker, traveling with them, riding horses and wrangling cows. Now, she isn't sure what she wants to do.
Your Patronus: Claire's patronus would be a horse. not only are horses her favorite animal, they are also carefree spirits, like Claire. They run where they want, when they want, and how they want; which is just like Claire.

Mirror of Erised: Claire would see herself in the future. She'd see a big ring with her in it, riding the cloverleaf barrels faster than any other rider. Then, she'd dismount the horse, and her family would run up to her, hugging her; they'd all be happy.

Dear Diary,
Today, papa took me out to his own personal corral. He let me ride Apple-Jack around the barrels. I had fun at first, but then pa got real hard on me about it. And when Pa gets on to something, he doesn't give up. If you try to steer him elsewhere, he will give you the country. He had me ride around the barrels at a walk first. It was so slow, and then he told me to dismount and walk her beside. I told him to go on, I didn't think that he was serious. He was. So I walked Apple-Jack around the barrels, trying to seem happy. I've been riding this same course for years, I mean; riding it would be as easy as sliding off a greasy log backward! But, i know he means well. He just wants me to be good at it.
After we had put the horses up, we sat outside. Ma was out with a student real late, working on a routine for the 'Night rodeo' that's next week. Me and Pa just sat out there under the stars, talkin' about the farm. Then he got all kinds of weird. He looked at me and asked me if I'd like to move. I didn't know what he meant until he handed me a letter that came in the mail for me. It was written on this really old lookin' paper.
I opened it, and read it. I read again, and again. I didn't understand it. Pa told me I was special. And that I'd be going to a special school. Before I had time to ask about it, he told me that it was time for bed. Then he sent me to my room. I still don't understand what the letter meant. Witch craft? Wizardry? Magic? What does it all mean? Am I really special? Can I tell anyone? What about my pets? My horses, what are they gonna do? What about ma and pa, are they gonna move? I'm so confused.
I hear ma coming in, maybe I should go to bed. Night
Love,
Claire.

<FONT font="Monaco">List Of Favorites
Number: 14
Explanation: claire has always had a fascination with the number 14, always doodling it in notebooks. But, her favoritism of the number came when she entered her first real horse show; her number was 14.
