Daytona Portia Bradshaw
Daytona: named after the muggle speedway where her parents had gone for a rare vacation, hoping that the muggle world would be a quieter and more peaceful place to relax in for a few weeks. They really chose the wrong place but this was where she was conceived.
Portia: is pronounced POR-shah. It is of Latin origin. Feminine form of a Roman clan name. Portia was used by Shakespeare as the name of a clever, determined young heroine in "The Merchant of Venice" who disguises herself as a lawyer to save her husband's life.
Date of Birth: November 27th 2012
Current Age: 15
Basic Appearance: Brown long hair somewhat wavy in style, blue eyes and sallow skin. Clear skin, no blemishes or scars. 53 in height but still growing.
Personality: Is friendly by nature, can go up to virtual strangers and introduce herself and attempt to make friends but finds herself easily bored if they cant maintain a conversation and she hates having to do all the work. Can be a tad lazy where her school work is concerned and also where her relationships concerning her friends or family is concerned. Hates having to maintain any correspondence. Tends to speak her mind when she thinks the occasion warrants it which is fairly often.

Heritage:
Bradshaw
The origin of the name Bradshaw comes from the Township of Bradshaw in the Parish of Bolton-Le-Moors, Lancashire, England. In the early 13th century this old district of Bolton was called "Bradeshaghe" meaning a "broad wood" or copse. In 1298, William son of Richard de Bradshagh and Mabel his wife, were in possession of the manors of Haigh and Blackrod, which were Mabel's right as heir of the last-named Hugh le
Norreys. Her husband from his name is supposed to have been a descendant of the Bradshaghs of Bradshaw, near Turton. Ref: A History of the County of Lancaster, Vol 4
"Of the period 1350 -1500, we have but fragmentary evidence of the Bradshaw family and their activities at Bradshaw, but the name de Bradshaw occurs many times in inquisitions post mortem, marriage
settlements, and indeed law suits."
A very old English noble family all of muggle descent, on discovering that Archie had magical ability, his family disowned him convinced he was a freak of nature. He was taken in by a kind aunt who became his
sole guardian up until he came of age in both the wizarding and muggle world. His aunt since deceased was delighted with his accomplishments but to date no other Bradshaw has offered a hand of friendship. He has
been ostracized from the family tree and been disowned completely. They live now in Mile Cross Lodge, the former home of his aunt who bequeathed all that she possessed to him, having no children of her
own.

Best Subject: Potions, completely enjoy the relaxing and therapeutic properties involved in preparing ingredients, following instructions and creating something that can benefit many.
Worst Subject: Transfiguration, try as I might I see no reason to turn a beetle into a button or vice versa, I just don't get it and think it's ruddy cruel to do that to something even something as insignificant as a beetle.
Interests or Hobbies: enjoys listening to rock music, wizarding and muggle and has a fascination for muggle formula one race car driving and moto cycle racing.
If its extreme she wants to participate.
Additional Skills:
Swift runner sprints a lot
Slices and dices like a professional chef
Strengths:
She likes everything fast paced, prefers to act than sit around thinking about things. She never lets anyone out of a group. Whenever games were played as a kid and she had to choose team mates, she always chose the under dog first. (mainly as it annoyed everyone else)
Weaknesses:
She likes everything too fast, never slows down to smell the roses or enjoy the moment; her penchant for act first, think later has gotten her into plenty of trouble.
