Full Name:
- Margo Dragomira Moon-Boswell. She doesn't know where the name Margo came from, as it is not a family name or from her culture, and her mother places a high value on name meanings. Moon supposedly came from her father's family, although Margo assumes it's just a nickname.
Date of Birth:
- 8th of April 2020
Current Age:
- Eleven
Basic Appearance:
- Margo stands at around 4'6", which is roughly average of her age, but isn't expected to grow much taller than that. She has a very small frame and is easily able to wrap her index finger and thumb around her wrist. Margo is fit from dancing and has strong legs, although her arms are very weak. Her skin is very fair that refuses to tan, which she is very conscious of. Margo has a long red mess of ruffled hair on the top of her head, which is usually home to leaves or vegetation of some description.
Personality:
- Margo has always been quiet and introspective. She never threw tantrums when she wanted something as a child, just patiently waited and asked Violeta is she was allowed. If it was an item she wanted and Violeta would not let her have it, Margo would take it upon herself to secure it. Pick-pocketing became almost like a second nature to Margo as she grew up. Her family only ever had enough to survive on, so Margo would take anything extra she needed from anybody else. She didn't rely on her mother to look after her, earning her own money by busking on the street and only staying with her family because of her age and legal reasons. Margo thinks of herself first, before worrying about others. She is selfish up until she sees others in need of something, then she will help them.
Margo doesn't like to let people know this, but she is a perpetual tumbleweed of anxiety. She is exceedingly cautious about most aspects of her life. Margo is very aware of how she behaves around others, and is extremely self-conscious. She wants to be invisible to other people so they don't notice and judge her. She has felt like an outcast in the world for most of her life, as she never had a proper home and her family was never stable.
Margo is able to talk, but refuses to speak a single word. She is terrified of being judged for what she says, so she has reasoned that she will say nothing at all. A lot of people who meet her assume she is completely mute. She will only ever speak to people who have gained her absolute trust, the number of whom she can count on one hand. She does like to sing, strangely enough. There are those who have heard her voice only in song, and not speaking.
Family:
- Her mother, Violeta Boswell, is from Bulgaria and attended Durmstrang until she dropped out in fifth year. Her slight magical abilities made her an outcast in her family, and she was forced to live with her Celtic grandparents in New Zealand. She failed all her classes, as she her magic was never fully developed. Margo doesn't know who her birth father is, but slightly suspects him to be a wizard because of her being a witch. Violeta is officially a squib who rejected the world of magic because it rejected her. Margo has three unofficial fathers, one of whom is her mother's current partner, Bo. Bo immigrated to New Zealand from the south of Spain. He and his younger brother Tamas are Romani from Bulgaria who knew Violeta and wished to find her again when she disappeared.
Margo has adopted younger half-sister, who is a witch but unaware of it. Margo's sister Aishe is actually her cousin, from Violeta's brother, but is unaware of her heritage. Margo assumes Aishe resembles her because of their mother. Margo's household is joined by a mishmash of other colourful characters, many who come and go as they please. One day, there might be an entire family hitching a ride in one of the vans, only to be gone in a week's time. Margo sometimes feels like she's living in a travelling hotel service.
Pets:
- Margo has horses and a dog called Lala.
Area of Residence:
- Margo and her family are always on the move. She was born in Ireland and lived there for a short time before she was old enough to travel internationally. She lives in a camp of "gypsies", although they find the word offensive and do not use it ever.
Blood Status:
- Technically squib-born, but unless Margo's father happens to be a wizard, Margo assumes she is muggleborn.
Heritage:
- Mostly Irish and Celtic, but Margo has some Roma blood in her. She is not counted as a proper Romani child by the Roma community she was raised in, and is thought of as an 'adopted Gadje' because her pale skin and hair mark her as 'not Roma'.
Special Abilities:
- She has more magical ability than her mother, although that is not saying a lot.
Interests or Hobbies:
- Learning all types of instruments, dancing, singing; any sort of artistic thing is enjoyed by Margo. She likes what her mother calls 'fake magic': tarot cards and palm readings, gemstones and wishes. Although she doesn't hold much faith in their usefulness, Margo finds them familiar and comforting.
Additional Skills:
- Margo has a knack for languages, and can understand a few Celtic languages, Roma and several sorts of signing. She could speak them too, if she spoke, but she does not vocally use the languages she knows.
Strengths:
- Not openly hostile, committed (to things such as not using her voice), intelligent, resourceful (another name for 'thief'), musical, artistic
Weaknesses:
- Shy, loner, will not speak, her slight arrogance towards other people, questionable moral integrity
Describe your character in three words:
- Timid, free-spirited, sneaky
Favourite place to be:
- In her caravan, travelling to wherever she's headed. She likes the feelings of moving, freedom, and of running away.
Friends:
- Margo's little sister is her best friend. She has a few friends in her camp and she is friendly with a lot of the people she meets. She doesn't have many close friends because it is too difficult to keep track of them all, and so easy to slip up and reveal something she doesn't want revealed to them.
Hogwarts House:
- Slytherin. Margo was surprised at that, but assumes it's because she steals. She isn't happy about it, as she wanted Ravenclaw, and feels that she is 'expected' to be a bad person because of her house.
Hogwarts Hopes and Ambitions:
- Margo has hopes about becoming a prefect, but believes that dream is impossible for her because she isn't very good at following rules herself - let alone trying to enforce them. She would also like to learn if she could become a Seer.
Best school subjects:
- Margo wants to take Divination. She has already had some training from her mother, but doesn't know that she was learning proper Divination at the time.
Worst school subjects:
- Potions. Margo sees it as a mix of Science (which she never took) and cooking (which she is terrible at). She is no good at either of those things, so the idea of Potions is torture for her.
Extracurricular Activities:
- None yet.
Graduation:
- Margo doesn't have high hopes of actually graduating Hogwarts. She'll probably be expelled first.
Current Job:
- Palm-reading and tarot card deciphering at her camp.
Plans for your future:
- Margo can't see her future changing a lot from her present. She expects that her future, if she has one, will include travelling around with her camp and performing around the world like she's been doing all her life.
Your Patronus:
- A bobcat, as they symbolise vigilance, suspicion, and solitude among many things.
Your Patronus memory:
- Margo cannot remember any particularly strong memories that she has had. She hopes that she will make some in her time to come.
Your Boggart:
- A cage or a prison - Margo would not be able to handle being cooped up and held against her will. She needs her freedom too much and would suffer greatly if locked up.
Your Animagus:
- Margo would like to be able to be some sort of bird so she can fly. She wouldn't want to become an Animagus though, as she would have to register. She doesn't like leaving any trades for people to follow, 'paper trails' or other. She would find the ability quite useless to her if she was recognised.
Mirror of Erised:
- Margo would see nothing. She would be invisible. Nobody could see her, nobody would hurt her, and nobody would be able to stop her from doing anything she wanted to do.
A page from your diary:
- Margo would never keep a diary for fear that somebody might read it. She is paranoid about her privacy.
