Full Name: Clarice Jane Herrington
Nick Names: CJ, Clara and Clazza.
Name Meanings:
Clarice: Illustrius
Jane: God is Gracious
Herrington: Woodland or Pasture
Birth Date: November 17[sup]th[/sup], 2011
Age: Twelve
Hometown: Oxfordshire, England
Blood Status: Half Blood
Hogwarts House: Gryffindor
Why: Because Clarice is open minded and is willing to put others before herself, despite her overwhelming ambition.
Hair: Clarice's hair is the one part of her appearance that gives her the most trouble. It is sandy blonde and very, very bushy. It's length is just below her shoulders and she has straight bangs that make her appear more youthful then her peers. She could careless about it, so rather than trying to handle it with products she puts it into a pony tail or a bun, with the help of several elastics. Her hair has the unmistakable scent of old books, due to her constant presence around books. Her shampoo is simple and doesn't have any scent which is why the discrete scent of novels rub off onto her.
Eyes: Her eyes are warm, inviting and absorb light rather then reflect it making them seem softer. They are an earthy, natural brown that are quite spectacular.
Symbolism of Eye Colour: "Brown is a strong and rich color that has connotations of earth-energy, creativity, simplicity, strength, endurance, and fertility. Initiates into spiritual orders often wear brown robes to indicate their humility, simplicity, and stability. The color brown signifies their desire to ground themselves by renouncing all superfluous luxuries and dedicating themselves to becoming stewards of the earth. In living close to the land, they can free their souls to seek enlightenment. Brown eyes may indicate a strong and independent person who feels a deep connection to nature and the earth."
Height: As she is only twelve, she is the mere height of 5' 2" but it is apparent with her genetics that she will grow taller.
Style: Clarice doesn't take fashion too seriously, in fact she would much prefer to be in her Gryffindor uniform that what most girls are wear. She takes part in a fair amount of sports so she wears clothes that are more suited for such activity when she is away from her over bearing mother who believes that style makes the person. When her mother get's her way she dresses her in skirts and dresses, which do not show off her confidence.
Other Distinguishing Features: Her smile lights up when her dry, pink lips curl into a smile, that bare her naturally straight, glisteningly white teeth. She is gangly and awkward with her body currently, as a prepubescent child, that is still quite flat chested. Her clothes don't fit her, and what does make her look like a boy, something her mother detests, while Clarice doesn't care either way. Clarice has poor posture when she is not in classes, because she has her nose either stuck in a book or is hanging around with her two brothers playing sports with them.
Personality: Clarice is often known as the nerdy, tomboy know-it-all. She is often disliked because of how factual she is, and think that she is trying to show off, when she just likes things done correctly, like her father. She is quite the opposite of her mother, who is a graceful, posh woman, when her daughter is a clumsy girl, who cannot stand dressing up.
In her muggle schooling in England she was looked at as the teacher's pet, when the teachers didn't really like her because she often usurped their knowledge. She is considered quite ambitious while Clarice does not see this in herself, in fact there really isn't much she sees in herself other then another one of the boys and a book worm.
While open minded, Clarice has a true hatred for Pure Bloods. When she helped at her father's store in London, she was confronted with many Pure Blood elitists who were quite rude to her and since then she has held a grudge, as she does with many things. She looks down on those with Pure Blood and low intelligence unless they prove themselves worthy of her acknowledgement which does show how contradictory she can be with her emotions.
History: Clarice was born and raised in Oxfordshire, England as the youngest of three children. Her father, Winthrop, is a Mixed Blood (who masquerades as a Pure Blood) wizard while her mother is a muggle. The couple caused quite a stir in the family and while Winthrop and Eleanor are still together they do not live in the same house or even the same town, it has been this way since Clarice was two years old. She lived with her mother and two brothers in Oxfordshire until she was nine years old, when she moved to her father's home in London, England to help with his shop and spend more time with him. She learnt much about the world then and has never viewed Pure Bloods the same.
On her tenth birthday, she received a letter of acceptance to Hogwarts New Zealand and Durmstrang. While she wanted to make her father proud by attending his school her mother insisted that the school was too harsh for a "lady" to attend and moved herself and her family to New Zealand.
When she was attempting to flee from her mother, Clarice met Benson Thacker and quickly became his best friend and then in September 2023 they began at Hogwarts New Zealand and were each sorted into Gryffindor and have been inseparable ever since.
