Say Hello to
Lavender Rita Blake!

What a wicked thing to do ,
To let me dream on you ,

FULL NAME
Lavender Rita Blake


MEANING
Lavender - is a derivative of the Latin word "lavare," which means "to wash". It was an herb used for bathing rituals in Roman times.
Rita - a Spanish baby name. In Spanish the meaning of the name Ritais: Pearl.
Blake - Blake is a surname or a given name which originated from Old English.


WHY
Her first name was because her parents got married in a small ceremony in a lavender field in the south of France, and they believed that this was good luck and therefore had to name their child after it especially when they found out it was going to be a girl. Had it been a boy, it wouldve been more difficult to name it Lavender. Lavender does like her name its a little more odd as far as names go, but she likes it. Its got a nice sound to it she always finds, and Lavender doesnt really think that any other name wouldve suited her as well as it does. Her middle name is her grandmothers on her mothers side name. She died before Lavender was born and it was Lavenders mother who decided to include the name as Lavenders middle name. She doesnt mind it, its not a bad middle name, but she is really not often called by that name. It is very rare for Lavender to ever hear that. The surname is simply just the name passed to her father from his father and so on. Though she did realise that since her father has no siblings that it would be the end of the Blake line if she got married to someone and took their name. Shes not a huge fan of the surname Blake but its the name shes got for now.


NICKNAMES
Lavender doesnt have any friends and so she also doesnt have any nicknames, she has never given herself one and her parents both use her full name so she doesnt have any nicknames and though she wouldnt mind one, she knows that first requires her to get to know someone enough for them to give it to her. But Lavender is perfectly content to not have one.


AGE
Lavender is currently fifteen years old.


D.O.B.
After her mother suffered multiple miscarriages, Lavender was born on the 13th of June 2027 with surprising little issue. She was born in the mid afternoon after a long fourteen hours of labour. It was worth it for Lavenders mother and she utterly loved her daughter the first moment she saw her. Lavender was an average sized baby with the palest eyes that the nurses in the belfast hospital had ever seen.


PROFESSION
Since she left the Hogwarts Scotland and moved to New Zealand with her parents, she has had to drop out of school, she did attempt to transfer but it was rejected and rather than attempt to go to another school she dropped out, choosing to continue her education at home and because of the financial strain on her family with the move she managed to get a job at an independent coffee shop, pretending that she was sixteen and therefore legally allowed to work, but she needs the income and her family is grateful for it.


FATHER
Patrick Blake was born and raised in Northern Ireland, he attended university in the city and graduated with first class honours in computer programming. He met lavenders mother when they were both 16, but they didnt get married until they were both 30. They hadnt really wanted to get married, but after being together so long decided to. Patrick began working from home when Nessa was born, and subsequently left his job so that he could focus more on that, and works from home doing more freelance work. Patrick is a very loving parent and often realises that he should give more attention to Lavender, but whenever he tries to he get distracted. Hes very proud of his first daughter and the magic that she has.


MOTHER
Annie Smith Blake was born in Dublin and moved to Northern Ireland when she was 15 years old. She attended school with Patrick and they got together at sixteen, when they both left school, Annie stayed at home, preferring to work on her photography skills and because she liked being a home body. They were very close, and between the time they got together and when she had Lavender Annie suffered three miscarriages. She didnt think that she would ever be able to have a baby but then Lavender was born, ten months after she and Patrick were married. When Nessa was born, Annie began to dedicate all of her life to Nessa, trying to help her as she grew up. She loves both her daughters but spends far more time with Nessa than she has ever with lavender. Annie very often tells Lavender about how much she loves her. She was the only that found and suggested they move to New Zealand.


SIBLING(S)
One younger sister; Nessa Blake born in 2031, Nessa is severely autistic, and has on top of this been a very sickly child, frequently acquiring illness that require even more of her parents attention. Despite the many challenges that Nessa presents and the attention she requires from their parents Lavender hold no resent towards her, Lavender loves her sister a lot, shed say that they are quite close. Its her only sibling, and Lavender does adore her, she misses her whenever shes at school.


OTHER
Lavender has a set of grandparents who still live in Belfast, and her other set of grandparents both died one shortly before Lavender was born and the other when she was six years old. She was never close to her mothers parents but up until they moved to London she was very close with her fathers parents who would often look after Lavender after primary school when her parents were pre-occupied with Nessa.


PET(S)
None


BLOOD STATUS
Given that no one else in her family can do magic, lavender is a Muggleborn


THOUGHTS ON BLOOD STATUS
It wasnt until Lavender got to school that she found about the problems between different blood statuses, and she didnt really like it that much, it was the first sort of bad thing shed seen about the magical world, and given that her sister is severely autistic the idea that someone could be of a lesser status because of blood didnt sit well with her at all. She definitely doesnt like when she hears the word mudblood and though shell not often do anything about it unless its within a classroom situation she wont do anything. Most of her classmates, given how little Lavender speaks dont even realise that shes a muggleborn.


HOMETOWN
Belfast, Northern Ireland


CURRENT RESIDENCE
Wellington, New Zealand


THE PLACE TO LIVE
Hogwarts, despite having very few friends at the school, and being quite isolated from others she loves the school, she thinks its the most incredible thing shes ever been to, and loves all the little the school has to offer, its to her the most perfect little place in the world. She can explore, see new things, watch the ghosts, the creatures, she just loves it.


PREVIOUS HOMES
FIRST HOME: Her first home was in Belfast, Northern Ireland, it was a small house on the outskirts of the city, it was a three bedroom house, with a small garden in the back. It was the place that Lavender and her family lived in until they moved to London. It wasnt a very big place, and definitely felt a lot smaller after her sister was born and all the implications that came with it. Lavender liked the house, in it she had her own bedroom, her own space, and while it was the smallest bedroom in the house it was hers. She liked living in Belfast more than she ever liked living in London.
SECOND HOME: The move to London happened just before Lavender turned eleven and went to magical school. It was a small flat in east london, far smaller than the house, and it was simply overflowing with things that her parents had. She shared a room with her sister, but sometimes she ended up sleeping in the living room either because of her sister, or when she was sick and couldnt get her sister sick. Lavender didnt like London, and there was no garden for her to play in and she didnt have any space to herself. It was likely a good thing that she spent most of the next four years at school, she would come back for Christmas, not bearing to spend it without her family, but it was only eight weeks out of a year that she spent with them.
THIRD HOME: The most recent flat is a flat in the south of Wellington, a relatively short drive from the center that her sister spends a lot of time at. Its bigger than the London flat, and Lavender once again has a space of her own, it does get often invaded by her sister when her sister is at home, but Lavender doesnt mind this much. She doesnt really know what to think of New Zealand or Wellington. She thinks its more like Belfast than London, but given that shed never been so far in her life she is pretty eager to explore. The house when she is there is often quite empty, more so than Lavender is ever used to.


SEXUAL ORIENTATION
Given the few friends and interactions that Lavender has with people she hasnt had many opportunities to explore options or consider what she likes. She has had some small crushes on boys, more so on boys than on girls, but she hasnt really interacted much with either sex to really be certain of what she likes.

Your world was on fire ,

------------------------------------------------------------


HAIR COLOUR
Lavender has quite wavy shoulder length brown hair, her hair is exactly like her mothers, though Lavender makes far less effort with it, and really likes when it just sits naturally, she has a lot of trouble with brushing it and often just makes it incredibly static and unmanageable rather than smoothing it down, so she very often just chooses to leave it as it is, and it works out fine. There will be the odd occasion when if shes feeling like it, Lavender will style her hair, either straightening it slightly and putting it up or something else just to make things a little different. Shes always kept it at shoulder length, its just the best length for her to manage it, any shorter and she doesnt really like it, any longer and she finds it too annoying to manage, so Lavender just lets it sit like it does at shoulder length.


HAIR HAS BEEN DYED
Though she has seen other girls within her year and house dye their hair she has never really wanted to do it herself, her hair colour Lavender thinks is perfectly fine and she has no great desire to stand out with differently coloured hair. Even if it was just going from her brown colour to a reddish colour. She just enjoys her hair as it is and wouldnt change it. Lavender has just always thought her hair was perfect as it was. She loves it greatly and the brown colour she believes suits it far more than any other colour she could make it.


EYE COLOUR
Lavender has blue eyes, her eye colour is not too dissimilar to either of her parents perhaps a slightly more muted colour of blue than her mothers but a little brighter than her fathers. She finds her eye colour to be the prettiest about her, she thinks that they do stand that she really loves seeing them in mirrors and often people in her class when she actually speaks to them theyll often notice it. She likes it a lot, Lavender loves her eye, its perhaps the only part of herself that she really likes.


BIRTHMARKS/SCARS
Lavender has a few freckles on her arms, and a few on her neck, She doesnt much mind these, they are just part of her, but aside from that she lacks any birthmarks. What she does have is a few scars that she has gathered over the years, despite keeping mostly to herself she has gotten herself in situations where shes gotten hurt. One of them is on the left side of her stomach, after a flying accident, Lavender was an exceedingly nervous flyer especially within the first year class, and the second lesson when they had just gotten up off the ground, she briefly panicked and fell off the broom, landing roughly on her side and a rock scrapped her side. One of her other scars is on the back of her elbow, it is a fairly noticeable scar if someone is looking directly at it, and it was caused simply when one icy morning Lavender slipped on ice and landed awkwardly on her back, using her elbows to break the fall.


BODY TYPE
Lavender has quite a small shape, shes of the right weight for her slightly shorter height. Shes got a rather small stature, she has grown a little since turning fourteen but it is unlikely that shell grow any taller than about 5ft 4/5ft 5. She doesnt mind being small, she likes it, and while it can at times have disadvantages while exploring it always means that there are slightly more places more accessible to her that a taller person would have more trouble with. She doesnt do a lot of sports but because she is often exploring and walking around she isnt unhealthy, and in her family home there is a large importance on being healthy and not bringing too many germs into the house, so shes a very clean, and healthy person.


BLOOD TYPE
A(+ve)
Lavender and her sister share the same blood type, when her sister was born and the first time she fell sick, Lavenders parents made sure to see if Lavender had the same blood type as her sister, they feared that Nessa would get sicker, or would develop far worse illnesses that would just mean that she could occasionally need blood and neither of them could but Lavender can. Lavender doesnt mind knowing what she is, and she wouldnt mind giving her sister blood if ever she needed it. Although ever since coming into the magical world she has wondered if she can actually give blood to a muggle person, Lavender doesnt talk about her family life and has never spoken to a professor or nurse about it.


WHICH HAND?
Left handed.
This she never had a real issue with until she came to the magical world, and she has an almost permenant ink mark on her hand because of how she has to writing and the problems with quills and ink. She has always been left handed, the girl picked up a pencil as a child with her left hand, and then also picked up her wand with her left hand when she was first in the wand store. Lavender doesnt really care about what hand she has to write with, she usually finds writing and essay writing specifically to be rather dull and isnt very likely to do it well.


VOICE
With a northern Irish father and southern Irish mother, Lavender has more of her mothers accent, its slightly muted, and often people dont realise that she has much of an accent until Lavender says a full sentence. She likes being from Belfast and she likes her accent and she likes that its soft enough that she isnt overly loud and doesnt stand out when she talks.


I CAN SPEAK
Having only ever lived in an English speaking country Lavender can only speak english, what little french they attempted to teach her in primary school went in one ear and out the other. She doesnt remember any of it. She can only speak english and while this hasnt been a huge disadvantage so far in her life, she does think it would be pretty cool to be able to speak another language. She has often in the Hogwarts library tried to learn a language, given herself the challenge, but she gets bored rather quickly and just gives up. Lavender would fair much better if she was just left in the country to fend for herself. But she has never had to, therefore she can only speak English.


I AM ALLERGIC TO
Very unlike her sister, Lavender is not allergic to anything. It does seem that out of the two of them, lavender was a little luckier than her sister.


PERSONAL STYLE
A lot of the familys money is poured into caring and providing for her sister, so there is little money to spare for Lavender to get the newest clothes. Most of her clothes come from charity shops, or second hand stores and while to most they wouldnt like it, Lavender actually loves it. There is so much more freedom she finds in being able to pick her own clothes, a lot of the time she mixes and matches clothes, she enjoys bold colours and skirts, she likes nicely fitting jumpers and high waisted skirts. She likes jean jackets and checkered shirts. She always finds that being able to get clothes that dont fit with the general style gives her a slightly dated look, but that it suits her. She has an absolute ball every morning picking clothes for the day. Her style doesnt really have a specific look and really boils down to whatever she can find.

CHARACTER LIKES
Lavender despite the occasional bout of loneliness is very happy and enjoys being on her own, she likes being able to go on adventures by herself. She likes being able to see a new thing everything day, she likes exploring new and old places. She likes reading the odd muggle book when there isn't much else to do. She likes her magic and she likes being able to take duelling classes, she likes being able to fit with that kind of magic. She likes riding her bike and she enjoys going for long walks. She likes being faced with new and different challenges that she has to really think about before she can figure out, lavender likes defensive magic and she likes rainy weather, and she loves having space to herself. Lavender loves helping people and she loves having internal competitions where she has to do better.


CHARACTER DISLIKES
Unsurprisingly there are the odd occasions when Lavender will get extremely lonely and sometimes she really hates this. She hates being left out of things so much she just won't get involved to avoid being left out. She doesn't like when wizards think themselves better just because they have magic, she doesn't like when people fight or when bullies pick on people and in class situations Lavender will try and stand up for them, but only in that situation. She doesn't like moving too much, she finds the process tiring. She doesn't like when she has to do school work for more than a couple of hours. She doesn't like being without her family, and she doesn't like when people say things about others or herself when they think she isn't listening. She doesn't like when the weather storms and she doesn't like muggle television.


GOALS
Aside from really aspiring to just finish school and explore all that she can Lavender has very few goals, she doesn't really know what she wants from life, she hasn't really made any decisions about it or thought beyond the year to year. She's always been thinking about what she should do in relation to her family but that's it. All she really wants is to be remembered, her goal in life is to be remembered. Her goals in life really don't exist in the same way as others. She doesn't really even aspire to do well, she just wants to finish school.


BOGGART
With a very reclusive life the only thing that she would see would be her family without her, her deepest fear in life is for her family to just forget that she exists, to just no longer care for her on the occasions that they do and welcome her back into the home. For lavender not having her family or being cast out of her family or just completely forgotten about is what she fears most in life. There is nothing really that she fears more than that. And it is definitely what the boggart would show her if she was to be faced with one.


PATRONUS
A barn owl


PATRONUS MEMORY
One of the first days that Lavender spent at Hogwarts she discovered one of the more empty and unused astronomy rooms, and it had the most perfect birds eye view of the castle. It was a quiet day and the sun was just beginning to set, and it was just such a freeing moment for Lavender who had just come into this magical world she found herself in. It just felt so magical and lovely to her that she would still smile about it now.


DEMENTOR
The move to London was just about the worst day of her life, Lavender had been born and spent ten years of her life in Belfast. She loved the place deeply, she had a couple of friends, and her grandparents and yet she was having to move to London. The journey itself was long and boring, and fraught with problems, and at the end of the day when she saw the flat itself she just burst into tears it wasn't what she wanted, she didn't like any of it. She had no choice in the matter but it was the worst thing that had ever happened. Lavender grew used to the place in London but it has always been her least favourite place to be.


VERITISERUM
Lavender is quiet about a lot of things, she rarely ever says anything to her parents about she actually feels about things. Lavender has just always kept her cards close to her chest. For her this would likely only lead to the admission that she doesn't believe that she is a part of the family at all. That if she just stopped speaking to her parents they would forget she existed at all. She would likely admit that, she honestly sometimes fears that her parents would forget about her.


MIRROR OF ERISED
She would see herself with her family, and theyd be splitting morer of their time between her and her sister, she would see that she has a group of friends and that together all of these people are celebrating the fact that Lavender has done something worth remembering. That she people will always know who she is and what she did. What she did would be unclear but it would remain true that she would be remembered.


AMORENTIA
She would smell the lavender flower, she would likely smell a whole array of flowers, since she's always been quite fond of them, she would smell fresh hot chocolate and the smell of warm bread. She would smell the dampness of the forest after it rains. She would smell freshly baked cake and the sweetness of candy floss.


I LOOK UP TO
Lavender does not look up to anyone, she would like to be looked up to.


RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
Her parents and grandparents were never religious and because of that neither was she, she doesn't believe in any higher power, of any kind.


ZODIAC SIGN
Gemini


ZODIAC DESCRIPTION
In ancient Greek mythology, Gemini's ruler - Mercury, was the light-footed messenger of the gods who darted back and forth across the heavens delivering news - which might explain why those born under the sign of the 'Twins' are always on the move; thirsty for knowledge and new experiences. Terminally curious and sometimes even mischievous, Geminis are multi-faceted souls who enjoy knowing a little bit of everything but generally not too much about one particular subject. It's just that variety is the spice of their lives! And no one is better at multi-tasking than the quixotic Gemini. Geminis have also gained the reputation of being the incessant talkers of the zodiac. Those Twins that don't have the 'gift of the gab' are usually talented writers or have a special interest in foreign languages. In love, they look for a partner who can keep up with them mentally and physically! And, to quote Oscar Wilde, "there's one thing worse than people talking about you, that's people not talking about you." Whether Geminis like it or not, people are usually "talking about them". Together with Scorpio and Virgos, they are a sign that is often discussed, dissected and sometimes even put down by the other signs of the zodiac. Sometimes this is a subtle form of jealousy by others, because Geminis do lead very unique and unusual lives. The Gemini personality can appear mysterious or detached to others and therefore they are often misunderstood and unappreciated for the talents they offer to the world at large. Another reason Geminis evoke so much interest is many born under this sign are multi-dimensionally talented. In money matters, some Geminis are very adept and quick at making it...and spending it too. Many Geminis are involved in international financial wheeling and dealing. They love the adventure and game playing involved in out-thinking other people. Gemini's can be very haphazard about their financial affairs too, with many of them ending up in divorce courts mainly because their partners have become tired of living on the edge of a financial precipice.


BASIC PERSONALITY
She is a quiet person, she loves adventures and she loves exploring, she'll always go alone but she enjoys it thoroughly. To her, discovering things and seeing what the world has to offer her can be far more interesting that a conversation. She's a reader, but not really a studier, she gives it her best shot, but she doesn't fair well academically. She's more likely to go for a long walk either within the castle, the grounds or the forest than do any work. lavender isn't overly friendly, she tries and will speak to people if they speak to her, or talk in classes but she if she has to start a conversation herself not to do with anything else she'll clam up all nervous and just prefer to not say anything. This was fine when she was young and there was far more to explore and see, but now it's harder, there isn't much left for her to "discover" and she'll sit in the common room and just see others with friends and get both jealous and lonely. She desire's to be remembered, more and more so as she grows up and the holidays she spends with her family, she wants to be heroic, do something to be remembered by. Despite her reclusiveness, she'll always put herself forward in class to test things and she loves healing magic and has a love for duelling, and she'll help those she sees need help, largely silently.

Given the situation of her family, she is not well off, and a lot of Lavender's clothes and possession come from second hand stores, she's never really been bothered by it, Lavender likes looking at old clothes and dressing in them. She enjoys being comfortable and this spreads from the way she dresses to how she acts with others. She tries to step out of her comfort zone but finds it hard, she does it more so now than when she was younger. When she is with people in a classroom setting she will not hesitate to disagree or put forward her point, what she does say she really means, and she'll always be honest about things. With this, Lavender has a very strict moral code, she'll stick to her gut feeling about people, and is often difficult to sway on a point when in class. She'll always fight her corner, while she's silent and quiet and often doesn't speak to people, but when she's spending more time in the school and begins to really try with people, she'll definitely develop a strong stubborn side. (If anything her continued quietness and choosing to not to talk to people and taking solo adventures is her stubborn side)

OTHER SCHOOLS ATTENDED
Victoria Primary School in the east of Belfast.


YEARS OF ATTENDANCE
From when she was 5 until she turned 10.


HOUSE (IF APPLICABLE)
There were none


FIRST THOUGHTS
As a young girl she was very nervous about it, she was excited and couldnt wait to start learning, her parents had talked about it in such a positive fashion that she couldnt help but feel eager about it. It was everything that she had been excited for. She was quite a loud child, energetic, mischievous, prone to getting in trouble but she was very much ready for school and she loved it from the very moment she began.


GRADES ACHIEVED
Like most school, there were grades but none official, she was not a high ranking student, she was about average, excelling in certain things and then just not in others.


FAVOURITE MUGGLE CLASS
English literature was always her favourite thing in school, mostly because they got to read a lot of stories and she enjoyed the magical and fantastical stories that they could read in class. It was her idea of a perfect class, she didnt really pay much attention in it, keeping whatever book she was reading in front of her instead of doing the class work that was assigned to her.


LEAST FAVOURITE CLASS
While not very good in classes, she didnt really have one she disliked, she enjoyed all of her classes, not always for the right reasons but she did enjoy them, and she worked as hard as she could in them generally outside of class, even though often it wasnt enough and simply actually if she paid attention in class in would help, but she like every moment of it, and there was nothing she would complain about.


SKIPPING CLASS?
Lavender upon getting school had trouble within her personal life, it was around the time that her younger sister first got sick, and thus her parents began focusing their attention on her younger sister which she understood and therefore being at home just wasnt an option, she liked school, it was a welcome distraction from her home life and so she wouldve never once skipped school.


SCHOOL CLUB:
Lavender grew more drawn into herself as she got older, and she had no real interest in joining any clubs, she knew it wouldve meant she was at school longer, but she didnt want to have to talk to people more than than she wanted to, and they werent anything she was really interested in.


POSITIONS ACHIEVED
She was drawn into herself to have ever received such a position.

WAND
Curved 17" Unyielding Willow Wand with Phoenix Tail Feather Core


WAND DESCRIPTION
Length: An impressively long wand, not easily concealed - used by those who desire to make a statement.
Style: Bending to its side, this wand is more difficult to aim than its straighter counterparts but provides character that some simply cannot pass by.
Wood: An excellent wandwood for healing and non-verbal magic, the wielder of a Willow wand more often than not has an something about themselves which makes them insecure unnecessarily.
Core: Phoenix tail feathers are not easy to come by. The animal is known for its versatility, making wands with this core useful for wand casters who seek to become good with different types of magic.
Flexibility: Unyielding: A wand which takes a special skill and determination to master; but once mastered its spells leave an unforgettable impression.


THOUGHTS ABOUT WAND
Since her parents spend so much of their time caring for her younger sister, it simply wasnt possible for them to join her on a trip to London and to get the wand, and an aide from the school helped her, their insight was helpful, but it felt like a dream, like shed wake up back in a room, and the letter, the magic would all be fake. It wasnt until several wands in, the wand maker handed her her wand, and it felt truly amazing within her hand, then it felt real, there was no way in her mind that a dream could ever produce the warmth or the natural feeling of the wand in her hand like it did. It was an extension of herself.


SCHOOL
She attended Hogwarts Scotland, because of the move she is now receiving homeschooling.


FIRST THOUGHTS
As she was the first of her family to be magical, her first thoughts of the school were of general awe, she had visited a few castles as shed grown up, but none seemed as stunning or truly magical as this place did, she found the setting, the backdrop to just be incredible. There was nothing about it that she didnt find herself in awe of, and the only thing she could think of was the school her parents had believed she would attend, an old building built in the 1970s, with paint coming off the walls, and a heaters that never seemed to work. This place was the most incredible place shed ever seen.


HOUSE
Gryffindor


THOUGHTS WHILE BEING SORTED
Lavender was exceedingly nervous about being sorted, as the first of her family to attend any magical school she was deeply afraid of where she might end up, the books she had gotten during her first trip to diagon alley were of much help to her in understanding what each of the houses was but she was nervous about where she might end up, both her parents had upon reading with her, on the few occasions leading up that they could announced proudly that she would be a Gryffindor, their brave oldest daughter was bound to be the most outgoing and brave child to have ever stepped into the school, despite Lavenders assurance that there were surely braver children, so as she was sorted, she deeply wanted to make her parents proud, she wanted to be like how they seemed to see her, and as the sorting hat seemed to be siding towards Hufflepuff, she begged it to not, she begged to be sorted into Gryffindor, pleaded with it, and it gave her what she wanted. She was very relieved after that point, she was able to proudly tell her parents about her sorting.


CURRENT YEAR
Has now graduated


PREVIOUS YEARS
FIRST - FOURTH YEAR: Lavenders first four years at school hasnt been all that eventful, after being sorted, and a few strained conversations with the people she shares a dorm with. She reverted somewhat to how she had always been, not that she was nervous to talk to people, but just that she didnt think she had anything to say, and having always been isolated she just went to her default, to be quiet and a little distant from the people around her. Shell talk to classmates when she has to but largely Lavender just spends her time wandering the corridors looking for her own adventures. This is largely what shes been doing over the last four years of her school. This hasnt been great for her, shes beginning to really feel the lonilness that it brings, as a young student she hadnt minded, she spoke to people when she wanted to but there was so much for her to explore. Now, in the later year of fourth year as those around her really build firm friendships, and get involved with one another she cant help but feel left out. She wants that. In her four years, she has worked hard at her classes, tried her best with all of them, and tried to achieve all that she can with them. Her lack of magical knowledge prior to school only really put her at a disadvantage during her first year, beyond that, shes had few troubles. Though she is not the top student.


YEAR OF GRADUATION
Lavender completed her OWLs and her NEWTs in her own time, and therefore did not have a graduation


THOUGHTS DURING GRADUATION
it is the one aspect that she is most sad about. She never really graduated as others do, and she misses the ability to even go back to do so. Though she hadn't made many friends during her time at school, they were very much still people she was friendly with.


POSITIONS ACHIEVED
Given that she is only a fourth year, Lavender is too young and has therefore not received any awards, or special positions. Lavender has always doubted that she would achieve any positions anyway, given that she doesnt really speak to anyone other than in class situations or sometimes in the dorm, and shes definitely not involved in school clubs, her grades are also not great.


GRADES ACHIEVED

BEST CLASS
Lavender is fairly average in her classes, but easily best and favourite class is Care of Magical creatures, its one of the few classes she hasnt had to work at to be better at. She works hard in most of her other classes, but in care of magical creatures she found everything easy, it seemed to come far more naturally to her than any of the other classes, she likes the company of animals, learning about them. She is particularly partial to unicorns, she just thinks that they have an unmatched beauty and grace. She loves learning about the water animals that live in the lake and of course in the wider wizarding world. Since coming to Hogwarts her favourite book has always been magical beasts, since it has great pictures and depictions of creatures.


WORST CLASS
While she has largely improved her grades gradually over the years, there are some that she still finds exceedingly difficult, primarily Astronomy, she used to be very good at physics in primary school, just enjoying the information they learned in it, and her aspiration had been that the astronomy class would resemble the physics she used to do, but it doesnt, its fairly complicated to her, and she only really likes star gazing, thats what shed rather do, she finds it difficult to sometimes believe what the professor says about the power of magical folk and what they can do with the stars and the universe.

HISTORY
Lavender is the first born child of her parents. She was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Her parents are both muggle and she is the only witch of her family. She is very close to her parents and has always been. While she was growing up she was dotted over and the centre of all attention. She went to a primary school in her area in Belfast and had an abundance of energy and excitement for everything. This was stopped when her younger sister was born. Her parents were already quite old when they had her, and even more so with her sister. Her sister was born with a whole host of issues, and all of her parent's attention was dragged to her sister. Everything their family did from then on was for her. It left Lavender very quickly out in the cold just looking for something. She became quieter and more reclusive. She started spending a lot of time on her own or just around others not saying much. She was drawn more into her family, up until Lavender got her Hogwarts letter.

For a brief period of time her parents put some attention upon her, but it never lasted long. She was left at the train station for school, and it was only the odd letter she received back. When her parents decided to move to New Zealand, Lavender had the choice of whether or not to go, and in the end though she would have to complete her schooling alone, she decided she would. She got a job under the table as a waitress and brought in some money for her family while studying. She doesn't mind it, but she's very tired of that sort of work. She wants to do something more but can't bare to be involved if it doesn't end in her being able to help and provide for her family.
