Jessame Rose Trewelly
a.k.a Jess
, J.R. and Jessiose 
b. 26 December 2011
died a little bit inside the day she got her Hogwarts letter
13 years old
Hometown:
Hickory Bay...
...a small community consisting of mostly of cribs (summer houses) and a few farms on the Banks Peninsula, Canterbury, South Island of NZ.
Blood status:
Unknown, but she was raised and identifies as a muggle.
Hufflepuff
Jessame Rose was very upset at the Sorting Ceremony.
What the Sorting Hat had to say: said:
Predicted Patronus:
A Kiwi. It's the only thing she feels she has a strong connection to. Its absurdity would scare away any dementor. Its combination of temerity and timidity suit Jess.
Predicted Boggart:
Beautiful people laughing at her.
What would she see if she looked in the Mirror of Erised?
Herself surrounded by a large family of people who all look like her, and who joked and laughed and poked fun at her in a loving way.
What memory could she use to create a Patronus?
She doesn't feel she has any good memories that haven't been tainted with sadness.
Best school subjects (And why):
All of them. Her favourite is History of Magic, because it rarely involves any actual magic, and she thinks Professor Spenser is cute.
Worst school subjects (And why):
She's not bad at any, but she hates Charms, because it always involves practical work, and she hates Charms professor-in-training Mrs Styx, who she thinks is unnaturally beautiful and flaunts it.

This is the best wand for those that are cautious of whom to trust and those that love to read books, it opens up many possibilities to those that have faith in it. It is good for Arithmancy, Ancient Runes and Astronomy.

Appearance
[ul][li]Short-ish, unstyled thick and 'dirty' black hair, Jess makes little effort to do anything about it. It's wavey, but curls or half-straightens itself as it sees fit.</LI>[li]Large; very dark green eyes
[li]4'7" / 140cm
[li]When she began at Hogwarts, her style was casual and practical; most of JR's clothes were well worn and have holes in the knees. She wears shorts as often as possible, only wearing jeans or trackpants on the coldest of days. She prefers loose t-shirts and hoodies to any other kind of top, and goes barefoot as often as possible. Her parents don't have a lot of extra money, and little importance is placed on fashion, either in her family or community.
Part way through her first year, she got a make-over and now wears the same stuff everyone else 'fashionable' wears. She's not comfortable in this clothing, but wears it to fit in.
[li]She has multiple small scars and scabs from a life of adventure and working on farms.
<LI>[li]Small for her age, Jessame Rose has brown skin, thick eyelashes and a small, compact body. Her hair usually covers her face and shoulders. She doesn't often show people her face, preferring to peek out from under her hair, but she has large green eyes. She's springy and strong despite her small size.[/li][/ul]
Jessame Rose's style
What you'll see in Jess' dorm (Hufflepuff Girls' Dorm #5) and what you'll see her wearing around Hogwarts.
((Everything in this colour links to Polyvore))
Jess' area of the dorm
Jess has no wardrobe - all her clothes fit more than comfortably in the drawers under her bed, and everything else goes in the desk. She'll usually put all her books away under her bed, too. She's very tidy and likes to keep things simple.
an example of what Jess wears
what she wears to bed
Jess is usually found in scruffy shorts or, when it is really cold, worn jeans or trackpants. She likes t-shirts on the baggy side and cosy hoodies. She prefers bare feet but if she has to she'll wear jandals or sneakers (environmentally friendly ones, of course). She hates the school uniform and only wears it when she has to.
inside Jess' bag
Jess rarely goes anywhere without her messenger bag. It has her diary in it, which serves as her notebook, too, and everything else she could conceivably need in a day.

Personality:
Jessame Rose is cautious, but curious. She has identity issues (who am I? I'm Maori but my foster parents are pakeha; I'm a 'muggle' but you say I'm a witch; who is my real family? where do I belong?) She only ever lets loose around Georgie, Tim and Sarah, and then she is unstoppable. She talks incessantly about anything that interests her, which is everything. Put her in a situation she doesn't know and she shuts up like a clam. She observes and keeps a low profile until she figures out how she can make the best of the situation, and not stand out like a sore thumb. If fitting in means being a rugby head, she'll be a rugby head, if it means being friendly, she'll be friendly. She refuses to be the centre of attention, so goes with the flow, but there's a lot underneath the plain-jane veneer.
However, she will never go against her principles, especially if it means hurting someone else. She has a natural ability to merge with her surroundings when she feels uncomfortable (like if the kids she's with start picking on another kid, she won't join in, but she won't stand up for the kid either - she'll just 'disappear' - remove herself from the equation).
Two Strengths:
1)A talent for reading people and situations.
2)Excellent memory
Two Weaknesses:
1)Paranoid.
2)She doesn't trust people. Pretty much ever.
Can you describe yourself in three words, and say why for each one?
Cautious: She hates doing anything without checking out all the options first. Spontaneity is not her strong point.
Elusive/Mysterious (cheating with two words, I know): no-one gets close enough to Jess to see the real her. People view her as an average kid, but find themselves at a loss to describe her.
Quick: physically, mentally, Jess runs to a super fast beat inside. On the outside she is calm and steady, but inside she doesn't stop.
Would it be a problem for you if people thought you where unusual?
Because Jess has brown skin and her foster parents have white skin, Jess gets a lot of questions whenever people see her with her family. She feels like Tim and Sarah are her parents, and hates that people don't really accept them as a family just because they look different. She's spent a lot of effort trying to be as normal as possible as a result because she doesn't like people feeling sorry for her or viewing her as different in any way. She doesn't realise that a lot of the time, her behaviour makes her seem odd to others.
Why do you feel the need to fit in? Is it not better to be unique?
(see above) Jess doesn't like to be in the spotlight. Her differences annoy her. They're inconvenient.
It seems that Georgie may not care about you as much as she lets on. How would you feel if this was true?
Jess realises Georgie is growing up and moving apart from her. She's talked about it with Sarah and understands why it's happening, but it still hurts. She's afraid, because she's never really had to enter a new situation without either Georgie or her parents before.
She thinks. A lot. Jessame Rose is very introverted. She thinks about her role in life and wonders what it is. She feels connected to her Maori heritage, even though she only ever learnt about it at school. She also feels very connected to the land, to New Zealand. She thinks about people and their behaviour and spends an inordinate amount of time trying to style herself to be like others, but always feels like she hasn't got it quite right (the reason for this is because she forgets to put any of herself into these personas.) For example, at Brownies, she's like all the other girls there - she loves crafts, and helping people, and camping and animals. At soccer games and practices, she's like the boys and the tomboys who she plays with. At netball, she's girly and begs to play Centre along with all the others, even though she prefers to play Wing Defense. With Georgie, she's Georgie's 'second' - she'll do whatever Georgie does in public, but when they're alone together she's herself, like she is with her foster parents.
She thinks about the world around her and marvels at it.

Jess has always been able to see things others haven't. For example, once when she was lost in the bush with her family, she was rescued by a witch who 'happened' upon them and helped them find their way out in the dark with the help of a torch (flashlight). At least that's what her foster parents saw. JR saw it was a stick (wand) with a light at the tip. She sees grand (magical) buildings where her parents and friends see dilapidated ruins. She sees doorways others don't see. Her foster parents put this down to her vivid imagination, and this was repeated so often she believed it. She thought it was all in her mind. This is one reason she is wary and likes to assess a situation before entering it; she's never sure what's 'real' and what is 'in her mind.' Watching and reading others is her way of figuring out what's normal for them, and she has always tried to emulate 'normalness.'
In addition, JR's favourite book, from a very young age, was Matilda by Raold Dahl. She strongly identifies with Matilda; she loves reading, she picks things up very quickly, she suspects her real family might have been like the Wormwoods, and that her foster parents are her version of Miss Honey. And sometimes, she can make things move. The first time, she was at kindergarten - only 3 years old. Jess had spent twenty minutes making a birthday card for Sarah, and another little girl spilled water all over it. Jess was so upset; the water that had spilled from the paint jar suddenly reversed its movement and ended up all over the little girl. Jess knew she'd done it, and when she read Matilda the following year, she thought she'd found the explanation. She has spent many hours trying to hone her 'skill,' with limited success, although she expects that soon she will lose the ability, as Matilda did, as her mind is challenged at school.
So you see, Jessame Rose has grown up knowing she was different, but always hiding it.
Muggle school
- Best school subjects (And why): Jess takes an interest in everything and performs uniformly well in all areas. She is very attentive and will always learn as much as she can before trying anything. She drinks everything in, like a sponge, but doesn't have one particular area she excels in.
- Worst school subjects (And why): Anything where she is the centre of attention. She always does well, but not well enough to be the best (on purpose) because she doesn't like to be noticed. Class speeches, reports, demonstrations: all bad for Jessame Rose.
Friends
Jess has never had any close friends except for Georgie. She has school friends and friends from soccer and friends from Brownies, but she doesn't go out of her way to make friends. She really just has friends so she doesn't seem unusual. She's spent her whole life trying to fit in, and not be out of place. She likes to be alone with her family or with Georgie because she feels she 'fits' with them.
Jess can't imagine life without Georgie. They've always been together. Jess is hurt that Georgie is happy to be going to a different school and even more hurt that Georgie hasn't noticed how secretive Jess has been about which school she's going to attend. But being Jessame Rose, she won't make a fuss about it.
Favourite place
Jessame Rose's favourite place is the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean near her house on Banks Peninsula. She often walks there with Tim or Sarah or just by herself.
Hobbies/interests
Jessame Rose loves the outdoors. She is interested in everything around her, especially natural sciences. She plays t-ball, soccer, miniball and netball, goes to Brownies and generally just lives the life of a ten/eleven-year-old. She runs very well.
Hopes and Ambitions
Jess wants to be a mum. She wants to have kids and keep them and let them know they're loved. As far as jobs go, she hasn't thought about it. She can turn her hand to anything, so just assumes something will fall into place when the time is right.
At first she was excited at the prospect of finding out who her biological parents are, as she assumed she would be able to find out once she entered the magical world. When she discovered it was possible for muggle-borns to be magic was when she got really angry at the whole thing.
As she has come to know a little about it, she has developed the idea that Hogwarts is an evil institution set up to lure normal young people into a life of trickery and lies (a kind of xenophobia - she's afraid of the unknown and so has projected bad attributes to it). She still doesn't fully believe in magic - that will change when she starts school. She doesn't want to go to 'Dumbwarts' as she calls it, but her foster-parents are making her, as they are worried about her lack of social skills and hope that meeting people people who are more like her will help.
Hopes and Ambitions
JR feels a strong resentment towards the wizarding world. It has torn her away from everything she's ever known. She wants to learn as much as she can about it. (Keep your friends close but your enemies closer). She harbours a secret wish to destroy everything that is magic. She views it as unnatural.
At first JR will reject the idea of becoming and Animagi because that's magic and unnatural. But then she realises it could work to her advantage. It fits perfectly with her propensity for going unnoticed in a new situation - she can just hang out as a moth for a while until she gets the hang of things, then enter later as a human and be completely in control. Depending on her attitude towards magic later on, she may or may not choose to train to be an animagi.
Do you think you may change your mind about magic once you begin to learn what you can do?
This one is complicated. Jess views magic as unnatural and defying the laws of nature - all that is right. She learns it because she's expected to, but finds it, and therefore herself repulsive, like a vegan being forced to wear leather and eat meat. She begins to form a plan where she returns the world to its natural balance by ridding it of magic, and therefore throws herself into learning all she can of it. She may, given the right guidance, eventually come to realise it's a part of her and she can't get rid of it, but that all depends on other people.
