Hometown: Ngāmotu, New Zealand
Birthplace: Taumarunui, New Zealand
Blood Status: Mixed Blood
Wand: Knotted 11 1/2 Inch Swishy Black Walnut Wand with Meteorite Dust Core
Length: A fairly average length for a wand, not at all uncommon or very special.
Style: The knots of this wand's original wood remain clearly visible - earthy, this style of wand is perhaps most traditional and closest to nature.
Wood: Black Walnut wands are especially aware of self deception and may not perform as expected for a witch or wizard in a state of inner conflict. Self-aware and assured wizards will have found a powerful and loyal companion, however.
Core: This wand core works well for people who adapt easily to their surroundings while still maintaining their own personalities. Meteorite dust seems to produce wands that are useful in Divination work.
Flexibility: Swishy: A wand which can quickly cast spells but may need to cast more than one to accomplish the job.
Hogwarts House: Gryffindor
Hair: Her hair is very dark brown, reaching almost to her waist in loose waves. It's rarely totally tidy, always a little messed up from whatever she's been doing recently, and she often ties it in a low ponytail to keep it out of the way.
Eyes: A deep enough brown to almost look black, with long lashes.
Build: Petite for her age, but with large hands and feet that indicate there's a growth spurt coming.
Complexion: A warm, medium brown that varies slightly depending on how much time she's spent outside recently.
Style: Simple and girly, combining plenty of stylish touches with practical clothes that won't get in the way when she's out doing things.
Distinguishing Features: Marama's deep, dark eyes are the first thing that stands out about her.
Playby: Courtney Eaton
Personality: As the youngest and only girl in a family full of boys, Marama has always been invested in the search for her own identity. She loves her whānau deeply, but while she has a few interests in common with them, she doesn't share their passions. As she grew older she shifted from trying to keep up with her brothers to trying to find herself, and her independence and love of learning came to light. She's always searching for the things that'll bring joy to her life, trying new hobbies and interests. As a friend, Marama is engaged and giving, always wanting to make the people around her as happy as possible and spread positivity.
Strengths:
- Marama is very self-sufficient and will happily find her own path without needing much prompting or support. While she enjoys having others around, she's perfectly capable and happy when on her own.
- Marama is a devoted friend, easily in tune with the emotions of people around her, and devotes herself to spreading happiness whenever she can.
- Marama is good at thinking out of the box and pushing boundaries, finding new ways of approaching problems.
Weaknesses:
- Marama has a competitive streak that can sabotage her at times, pushing her friends away and directing her to push herself harder than she should.
- Marama has a bad habit of comparing herself to other people - as happy as she is doing her own thing, she has to know what other people are doing and how she stacks up in comparison.
-Marama can be overly headstrong at times, and fail to back down even when she knows she's wrong.
Hobbies:
Swimming, Snorkelling, Kayaking, Sailing, Rowing - Marama will do any water-related activity she can get her hands on, and jumps at any opportunity to get into the ocean, with lakes and rivers in second place and a pool as a last resort option.
Quidditch - While nowhere near as invested as her older brother, Marama enjoys a bit of backyard Quidditch with friends and family.
Singing - She's not especially talented, but Marama enjoys singing in a group when everyone is relaxed and having fun, or quietly to herself in her own space.
Personality Type: ESFP (The Entertainer)
If anyone is to be found spontaneously breaking into song and dance, it is the Entertainer personality type. Entertainers get caught up in the excitement of the moment, and want everyone else to feel that way, too. No other personality type is as generous with their time and energy as Entertainers when it comes to encouraging others, and no other personality type does it with such irresistible style.
Strengths: Bold, Original, Aesthetics and Showmanship, Practical, Observant, Excellent People Skills
Weaknesses: Sensitive, Conflict-Averse, Easily Bored, Poor Long-Term Planners, Unfocused
History: Marama is the youngest of three siblings, growing up in Ngāmotu, a small coastal city in Te Ika-a-Maui. During her early childhood her family was fairly normal, loving and close. Her father became more distant shortly after her oldest brother left for Hogwarts, and everything turned upside down when they discovered he had another partner, one he wound up leaving their family for. While this affected her brothers strongly, Marama was young enough not to really know what was going on. Most of her memories are of her home slowly getting emptier and emptier as her father moved out and her brothers left for Hogwarts. She grew up fascinated with the brothers she didn't get to see all that often, eager to spend any time she could with them and learn from them. She tried to get into music, but didn't have Manaia's talent - tried to get into Quidditch, but didn't have Rāwhiti's passion. Her own interests took her towards the ocean, as she developed a fondness for everything water-based - swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, sailing. She spent more and more time in the ocean the older she got, most of her social time spent with friends who shared her interests. She found herself away from her family, and developed a taste for pushing her boundaries and trying new things under her own steam.
Health: Marama was quite sick with whooping cough as a child, but has been in good health since.
Goals: To find her own path in life and spend as much time in the water as possible.
Fears: Being put in a box based on her family.
Secrets: Marama resents her older brothers at times, their big passions having set the bar high for her.
Regrets: Trying to play guitar at a primary school talent show - the day she realised she was NOT a musician.
