Being a Pisces born on February 22nd, your personality is defined by your intuition, selflessness and imagination. You have a natural connection to the emotions of others, which explains for your ability to sense when others are upset or troubled. While others may be content simply understanding the emotions of others, you are not satisfied unless you can also offer support. Your loved ones can attest to your selfless nature, as they would struggle to recall a time when you did not have their best interests at heart. In addition to your compassion, you also have a very active imagination. When paired with your positivity, your active mind allows you to be optimistic about possibilities in all aspects of life.

This care extends to her friendships, she's always eager to get to know people in depth and never hesitates to take time for her friends.

-Hinemoa tends to assume her well of energy is endless, and sometimes pushes herself too hard, resulting in some pretty bad burnout.
Hobbies:
Rugby: Hinemoa grew up playing rugby with her mum and later on a team when she was at Kōhanga Reo, and really enjoys the opportunity to throw herself (and other people) around.
Quidditch: While she doesn't enjoy it quite as much as Rugby, Hinemoa also grew up playing Quidditch and enjoys just about every position on the pitch, though her competitive side pushes her to prefer Seeker.
Kapa Haka: Hinemoa has done Kapa Haka all her life, and relishes the connection it brings to her culture and whakapapa.
Reading: Hinemoa is often found with her nose in a book, and really enjoys memorising trivia to rattle off to people at random.

Personality Type: ENFP (Campaigner)

Your curiosity knows no bounds, and you have an insatiable appetite for new experiences and perspectives.

History: Hinemoa is the daughter of Professor Kahurangi Josephs, born through use of an anonymous donor, and as a result spent a lot of her infancy & toddler years exploring the Ravenclaw tower. Being raised by an educator in that environment gave her a real passion for learning, and she spent a lot of her childhood with her nose in a book absorbing whatever she could get her hands on. That passion served her well when she was old enough for Kura Kaupapa (Māori immersion schooling) and she quickly became top of her class, though she didn't always stick diligently to all the school rules and struggled to connect with subjects she found less interesting. She also began engaging in athletics around that time, dedicating a lot of time and energy to rugby and kapa haka. Her favourite thing to do though has always been playing with her best friend, Amanita Castillo. They grew up very close due to their parents working together, and Hinemoa often winds up in an advisor role due to Amanita's tendency to take the lead. She's never happier than when she's playing pretend and making up imaginary worlds with her best friend.

Health: Hinemoa is usually in good health, though she has one slightly dodgy leg after fracturing her tibia once playing rugby.

Hinemoa clung tightly to Amanita's hand as the two of them entered the Great Hall, the familiar sight of long tables and floating candles strangely undercut by the unfamiliar buzz of her situation. She wasn't watching from her mum's lap as a new batch of first years filtered in to learn their fates, she was one of those first years. In a matter of minutes the next seven years of her life would have been decided for her, and her time as a Hogwarts student would begin. It was overwhelming.

It was much easier to focus on the familiar, comforting elements of the experience, and she didn't hesitate to wave to her mum with her free hand as soon as she spotted her, grinning broadly as she got a big wave back. No matter what happened, she had people here for her. Everything was going to be fine. Even if they were separated, ultimately. Hinemoa knew that the warm hand in hers almost certainly wasn't going to be accompanying her to whichever table she wound up at - Amanita was a Slytherin through and through, and even if her dad hadn't been the Head of House, Hinemoa knew her best friend would be destined for green robes.

For herself though... Slytherin felt like the least likely option. Hinemoa was confident in herself, but she had never felt much need to fight for success or leadership. She just did her best, and that was good enough. Glancing at the teachers table again, she knew that her own mother would probably tilt things towards Ravenclaw, if the hat took that into consideration, but even if not it did feel the most likely. After all, what was a teacher's daughter if not someone who valued learning? Hufflepuff and Gryffindor were possibilities though, and as much as she would miss her mum in those houses, Hinemoa was curious to see what the other common rooms looked like.

Castillo, Amanita

Hinemoa's thoughts were interrupted by Matt's voice, and she couldn't believe it was time already. "Good luck!" She whispered as she released Amanita's hand, watching her best friend with total confidence. There had never been anywhere for Amanita but Slytherin, and she cheered and clapped when the hat confirmed what was obvious to everyone who met Amanita - she was a Slytherin through and through. Now Hinemoa was alone though, and her mind raced with possibilities as she watched the students between her and Amanita in the alphabet take their turns, wondering who her new roommates would be. The possibilities were endless, and she knew so many of her experiences would be shaped by the next few seconds of her life. It was thrilling and terrifying all at once.

Josephs, Hinemoa

She might have been imagining it, but Hinemoa was pretty sure she heard pride in Matt's voice as he called her name and she grinned, head high as she hurried to the stool and took her seat. She had spent her whole life imagining a thousand different scenarios for what would follow her sorting, and she was finally, finally about to learn which path she would be taking. It was a rush and she wondered if the hat could hear how fast her heart was racing as it was placed on her head.

'Hi Hat, I've heard all about you. I know you'll put me somewhere good, no matter what, and I can't wait to find out where!'

"I sure will, it's my job. Oh, you're an easy one to place...Ravenclaw!"
