MACKENZIE GRACE DAWSON
Mackenzie Grace Dawson
PRONUNCIATIONMackenzie being correctly pronounced as MUH-ken-z. Grace being pronounced as gr-AI-s.
MEANINGMackenzie as a name meaning 'child of the wise leader' or 'born of fire'. Grace as a name meaning charm.
WHYMackenzie was simply a name that both of her parents liked. They felt it was a respectful name that fitted their baby and their standards well. It's not too simple yet also keeps a certain status to it in their eyes. Grace is a womens name that runs in her fathers family. It is a family name that is commonly given to the women in the family, whether as a first or second name.
THOUGHTSShe is very fond of both of her names and wears them with pride.
NICKNAMESMackenzie never had anyone to give her a nickname, therefore preferring her given name above anything. However, she will consider any nickname if anyone would ever come up with one for her.
BLOOD STATUSShe is a mixed blood witch. Her mother was a mixed blood witch as well and her father comes from a long line of pure bloods, which leaves her to be just short of being a pure blood herself.
THOUGHTSMackenzie always keeps her head high when it comes to her blood status. She is proud of it, although she would have preferred if she was a pure blood like her father is. Blood status is something that is highly valued in her family and she has never known any different.
ROOTSHer mother came from an old English family, whilst her father is half-German and half-Kiwi.
HOMETOWNMackenzie was born and raised in München, Germany for the first six years of her life.
CURRENT RESIDENCEMackenzie lives in a large home in the suburb of Herne Bay in Auckland, New Zealand. She lives there with her dad and multiple members of their staff.
WAND Curved 14 1/2 Inch Sturdy Blackthorn Wand with Hippogriff Feather Core.
THOUGHTSMackenzie is content with her wand. It works well and does it job, which is all she asks for.
Mackenzie was born on the 17th of April, 2040.
PLACE OF BIRTHShe was born in her family home in München, Germany.
ZODIAC
Aries. Aries have a great instinct for what needs to be done and fully go for it. They can come across as arrogant because of the confidence they have in themselves and to get things done. Aries are born leaders and take the initiative in almost everything they do. They dislike being told what to do and know how to make their own decisions in order to create their own destiny. Achieving their goals is important to an Aries. 
Ravenclaw Aries. These Ravenclaws will have lightning-fast mental reflexes. Aries is an intellectual sign, but it is also an impatient sign; Ravenclaws who were born under this sign are likely to tolerate no dull wits or stupidity. These Ravenclaws will want to be at the head of the class, dominating other students in their chosen intellectual field, and may be almost as competitive as Slytherins. However, the true aim of every Ravenclaw is knowledge, knowledge, and more knowledge. While a Slytherin might see losing a magical duel or being bested by another student in a DADA class as humiliating, the Ravenclaw will probably just take delight in competition for its own sake, and see defeat as a learning experience.
Fire. Aries planets are not known for their patience and do not like to be kept waiting. There are no obstacles in their mind, only where they are, where they want to be and what the shortest way to get there is. They are brave, courageous, impetuous and direct. Never fake, they are always exactly what they seem to be. They need a physical outlet for their energy or their need for action will turn into stress.♂ Mars. Red is the symbolic colour for Mars – the colour of blood, fire, action and passion. Mars as the ruler of Aries influences leadership and drive. With the Aries, Mars is in its element and gives the native the whole of its energy, will-power and courage

HAIRMackenzie has light brown hair with a hint of copper to it. Her hair reaches far beyond her shoulders and is one of her favourite things about herself. She loves to wear it straight but also enjoys it wavy or fully curled, as long as it looks graceful.
EYESHer eyes are of a piercing blue colour, being one of her most distinguishing features. Mackenzie loves how her eyes look in combination with her hair. Her mother has multiple relatives with the same eyes so she definitely has her mother's side of the family to thank for them.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURESAsides from her eyes she doesn't have any.
ALLERGIESMackenzie suffers from a common nut allergie that includes various types of nuts, but fortunately her reactions aren't that bad.
LANGUAGESMackenzie is fluent in both English and German, seeing as her father is half-German and they lived in the country for a couple of years before moving to New Zealand.
DOMINANT HANDShe is right-handed.
Intelligent. Having a good amount of mental ability. Being able to learn quickly and easily handle new situations.
Spoiled. Having always been handed everything you wanted. Slightly entitled.
Ambitious. Having or showing a strong determination to succeed.
Sarcastic. Marked by or given to using irony in order to mock or convey contempt.
Stubborn. Having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good arguments or reasons to do so.
BASIC PERSONALITYMackenzie isn't the nicest kid around. It's not that she doesn't care for or about others, it's just that she will always care about herself more. In her world she comes before anyone else. At least she knows what to expect from herself, she couldn't say the same for others. She is intelligent and even though she isn't too keen on learning she knows it's what she needs to do in order to achieve the goals she has set for herself. She is an only child and has been always been spoiled because her father instructed their staff and Mackenzie's nannies to get her everything she wants. Mostly because he hoped that would keep her occupied and that if she had everything she needed she wouldn't come begging for his attention. Mackenzie isn't one to discuss her emotions and mostly keeps them to herself. She doesn't try to make a lot of friends and she can be sarcastic and cold at times. The few friends she does make she tries her best to keep. Even if she knows she'll be fine on her own she''d still wish to have at least some people around. Those she does befriend will find that even though she might not be the friendliest person around she will always have their back.
STRENGHTSHer strenghts lie mainly in her determination to get things right and her intelligence. Those things will help her do well in school and hopefully succeed in life without having to ask her father for help.
WEAKNESSESA weakness she doesn't realize is actually a weakness is her being reserved about her emotions. With the way she is brought up she doesn't realize yet that keeping her emotions bottled up and to herself is only going to end up making things worse for her eventually. She is also set on provind
PATRONUSWild boar. Skittish and aggressive when approached by strangers, these creatures aren’t so much mad as they are wanting others to be respectful of their personal space and peace. Casters of this Patronus are similarly wary of letting others into their inner circle and may act ferociously to suit.
MIRROR OF ERISEDShe will tell others that she sees herself as a prefect and later on as someone in a highly respected function within the ministery. In reality, she would see herself being embraced by both of her parents.
AMORTENTIAMackenzie will smell new books, coffee and her favourite perfume.
HOBBIESMackenzie doesn't specifically have a hobby, as she was never encouraged to get one. However, she does love fashion a whole lot and would most like to listen to music all of the time.
Mackenzie was homeschooled with some other magical children both in Germany as when she moved to New Zealand. When she turned eleven she got her acceptance letter to Hogwarts.

Attended Hogwarts New Zealand // 2051 - ongoing.
HOGWARTS HOUSEShe was sorted into Ravenclaw.
THOUGHTSMackenzie didn't have any preference on which house she would be sorted in. She still isn't completely sure why the hat put her in Ravenclaw, but it doesn't bother her either.

FAVOURITE MAGICAL BEASTIf she had to choose it would probably be a dragon, because at least they look impressive.
FAVOURITE SUBJECTThere isn't a specific subject she enjoys more than the others.
FAVOURITE SEASONMackenzie's favourite season would have to be autumn, although she couldn't specifically tell you why. Perhaps because it gives her the opportunity to combine different clothes and people are often wearing darker colours.
Edward Jacobus Dawson. Mackenzie's father was 30 years old when her mother gave birth to her. He works for the ministry, although he has never wanted to specify to his daughter what exactly it is he does. Whatever it is must be something that involves him to be away a lot because growing up he was pretty much never there. Mackenzie respects her father but they do not have much of a relationship. Her father ignores her and never pays her any attention, dismissing her whenever she knocks on his office door.
MOTHERJuliana Gwendolyn Dawson (néé Renyard). Mackenzie's mother was 25 years old when she gave birth to her and unfortunately died during childbirth. Mackenzie has never known her mother and her father never talks about her, nor does their staff. Although she believes that is because her father told them not to.
PETSMackenzie does not own any pets at the moment, but her father has said she would be getting an owl once she attends Hogwarts, although he did not explain why. She doubts it will be so she can send him letters.
Mackenzie was born on the 17th of April 2040 in her family home in Auckland, New Zealand. Her mother did not want to go to a hospital and they employed the best healers they knew to assist her during her pregnancy and giving birth. Even with the expertise of these healers Mackenzie's mother still did not survive childbirth. They did manage to save her, the baby. Growing up Mackenzie's father was almost never home and if he was he was either locked in his office or trying his best to avoid her. With not much of a parental figure present she was raised mostly by nannies, although they never stuck around for a long time either. She learned to take care of herself rather than have others take care of her. Mackenzie was homeschooled with several other children in their community but never befriended any of them.
