The Basics
Name: Dannie (short for Daniele but she hates it) Bennington-Heaton
House: Gryffindor
Birthday: 20 July, 1990
Hometown: Razgrad, Bulgaria
Pureblood/half blood/muggle born: Half blood
Wand: 14 inches, cedar, floo powder core. Dannie believes that her wand core, besides being similar to that of her fathers, is a sign that she was meant to go places in life. After all, she moved from Bulgaria to England to New Zealand in just 33 years of her life. Who knows where the future will take her. She hopes to eventually travel to the United States and see New York City with her family.
Five words that best describe your character:
[ul][li]expressionistic: Shes not afraid to speak her mind. And shell do it as vividly as she can if she needs to.</LI>
[li]talented: Dannie was always known for her beautiful singing voice, which she now uses often to sing her children to sleep if they so request it.
[li]respectable: While Dannie made some decisions her mother didnt exactly like, she was still respected by those around her including her peers and, now, her children.
[li]Agnostic: Dannie was never a religious person. She believes that theres some higher being out there but she has yet to discover it. Maybe in the future but for now, she has other focuses in her life.
<LI>[li]cheerful: In any social situation, Dannie always tries to keep a smile on her face. She greets everyone, tries to meet new people, and also tried to form bonds with as many people as she can. She is the person who, at parties, can be found talking to everyone and anyone. By the time she leaves, she can at least recognize every face in a room. [/li][/ul]
Appearance
Hair Color: Blonde
Hair Style: long and straight, about to mid-back.
Eye color: brown
Height: 56
Other distinguishing details: When Dannie was a young girl in her earlier years at Hogwarts, she was lanky. She was tall and thin but had the look of being almost too thin. Once she hit puberty, however, she filled into her body perfectly, developing curves in all the right place. Though for a few years she hid them with baggy clothes, once she grew into her own style and personality, she showed them off. Also, when she was at Hogwarts, she had issues with depression and harmed herself. All that remains now are faint tiny scars on her stomach which she hides with shirts. She refuses to wear two-piece swimsuits. To anyone who ever sees them by accident, except for Jacob who knows what really happened, she insists they are stretch marks from pregnancy.
Family
Father's name: Danail Bennington
Brief description (occupation, blood, etc): Danail Bennington was a good man. He wouldnt have even harmed a fly and yet, two and a half years after Dannie was born, he was harmed. Killed almost instantly in a car accident, the man left behind a wife and two children. He was a wizard. His wand was 12 inches, cedar, and had a floo powder core, similar to his eldest daughters wand.
Mother's name: Elissaveta Eli Bennington
Brief description (occupation, blood, etc): Eli and Dannie never had a very close relationship. Even during hard times, the two were always at odds with each other, resulting in a terrible relationship with Elis grandchildren. Eli never liked that horrible boy whom her eldest daughter married and, thus, saw any children coming from the pair to be devilish in nature. Visits to the Heaton household are infrequent and usually end badly. Eli is a muggle and, therefore, did not have a wand or go to Hogwarts or anything of the sort. She simply moved the family from Razgrad to London shortly after her husbands death.
Siblings (names and descriptions): Villi, two years younger than Dannie, is the second and last daughter of Danail and Eli. She was in Ravenclaw while at Hogwarts and was partially a catalyst to Dannie meeting Jacob. While Villi was close with Eli, she also had a fairly decent relationship with Dannie and decided the girl needed to at least meet someone. Thinking Jacob was a good match for Dannie, she mentioned the name to her at breakfast one morning. Later that Day, Dannie caught his eye in the hallway and things were never the same again. All thanks in part to Villi, though Jacob never actually knew the girl until after he was with Dannie. After Dannie left Hogwarts, however, they grew apart. She knows her sister has children but doesnt often find time to go and visit them.
Other key family members: Husband, Jacob Heaton (see background), and 4 children. Jadyn and Zachary, Bryan, and Yvette.
At Hogwarts
Your best subject: Herbology and Charms
Your worst subject: Potions and Transfiguration
Extracurricular activities: Dannie was the girl who, while not in any clubs, was everywhere. She was the girl cheering the loudest at Quidditch matches, she was always wearing something to support her house in a way that wasnt just the uniform, she was constantly hanging around the green houses helping out in any way possible, and still found time to snuggle up either underneath the most comfortable tree she could find or in front of the Gryffindor fire reading a book and doing homework. In her later years at Hogwarts, starting with her 5th, she was also found spending a lot of time with that Ravenclaw Jacob Heaton, the boy with the mysterious past who seemed cold to everyone. Except for Dannie.
Favorite place at Hogwarts: In the greenhouses, on the grounds, in a tree, or in front of the fire.
Least favorite place at Hogwarts: In the dungeons. She hated potions, detentions, and anything else associated with the dark damp basement of the school.
Do any of the staff members scare you?: Her potions professor and the transfiguration professor. Those were the classes she did worst in and, thus, were the classes which the professors liked her least in.
Do any inspire you?: Dannies Herbology professor inspired her to want to pursue a career in Herbology. She would like to ultimately become a Herbologist or a professor at Hogwarts teaching Herbology. For now, her life focuses on children, though.
Miscellaneous:
Interests/hobbies: gardening, singing, being with her husband and children.
What you did Hogwarts: Bennington got married to the love of her life, Jacob Heaton, when she was 20 and became Dannie Bennington-Heaton. Shortly after, when they were 22, the happy couple had fraternal twins, Jadyn and Zachary Zach Heaton. When the couple was celebrating 6 years of marriage, at age 26, they were graced with another son, Bryan, and a year later had their daughter, Yvette. Dannie, having 4 young children to raise, decided to be a stay-at-home mother though once Yvette goes off to Hogwarts she plans to pursue her dream job of being a Herbologist, and possibly even becoming Herbology professor at Hogwarts. Only time will tell.
Someone you look up to: Dannie looks up to her father simply because of the stories shes heard about his kindness. She never experienced it to the point where she remembered it but she knows that he was a genuinely good person.
Quirks: Dannie is as quirky as they come. To begin she is something of a neat-freak. If something is messy in her home, she will tidy it up and she often carries moist towelettes in her purse should someone need to wash their hands. Next to the towelettes can usually be found also some band-aids to cover up any cuts quickly and cleanly. Also, Dannie has a low tolerance for people who push her as well as those she loves around. Often, she will try and feel out the situation before she acts but if anyone is giving her a hard time or any of her children, her husband, or her friends, she will very quickly tell them off.
