N A M E:
First || Marisol: Spanish origin; means bitterness [sounds like: NOT "aerosol" or "parisol" those are soft i's, it's more like mar-eee-sol]
Middle || Adriana: Spanish origin; means darkness
Last || Woods: Topographic name: someone who lives in the woods
Nicknames || Mari (not the same as "Mary", roll the r!)
In Depth || One of Marisol's biggest pet peeves is when people mispronounce her name. She knows not everyone can help it due to their accent (or lack of one), but it just bothers her when they don't even try to pronounce it right. Marisol hates the way her name is pronounced in English (it sounds like "Aerosol" which is gross). People often mistake that her name means 'sun' and 'sun' since 'mar' is Spanish for sea and 'sol' is Spanish for sun, but that's not what her name means, although she really likes those two things so she pretends it does anyway. She grew up on an island so she's always loved the sea and since full moons are the bane of her existence, she appreciates the sun so much more than the average person.
Feel the change in me tonight;
Currently || 24 years old
Birthday || February 15, 2029
Zodiac || Aquarius
Aquarius's are impulsive and spontaneous. Their impulsiveness is known as their charm.
Element || Water
Water signs are often paired with the element of air, being like the wind: either a still calmness with no breeze, or a fierce windstorm. Anything is possible.
Planet || Aquarius is under the planetary influence of Uranus, but Venus is also a great influence. Venus' influence allows you be very social and affectionate and passionate when you love, but it can also make you restless and fall in and out of love quickly.
So take me up, take me higher;
B A S I C S:
Birthplace || Cali, Colombia
Residence || Ponce, Puerto Rico
Blood Status || Muggle-born
Ethnicity || Colombian, Mexican, and Puerto Rican
Voice || Because Marisol grew up in Puerto Rico and went to an American school, she does not have an accent and most people think she is American. But when she speaks Spanish, you can clearly tell she has a Puerto Rican accent. She speaks very fast in Spanish it can be hard to understand her.
Dominant Hand || Right handed
Wand || Knotted 9 1/2 Inch Unyielding Blackthorn Wand with Essence of Belladonna Core
{Length} On the shorter side of things, this wand offers excellent control and aim - easily an extension of one's own arm.
{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} A wand best suited for a warrior-type, Blackthorn wands bond most strongly to their owners after going through adversity.
{Core} As a wand core, essence of belladonna is useful in Potions and Herbology work. The poisonous nature of this substance makes the wand more suspicious than most wands are of the wand caster. For this reason, wands with this core take a long time to bond with the wand caster.
{Flexibility} Unyielding: A wand which takes a special skill and determination to master; but once mastered its spells leave an unforgettable impression.
In Depth || After being bitten by a werewolf, Marisol felt disillusioned and distrusting of how "cool" magic could be. After all, if there's no cure for lycanthropy what good is magic for? Therefore, her disheartened attitude affected her spell-casting skills. Because her wand core takes quite a bit of time to bond with its caster, it hasn't performed as well as it should at first, which has caused her to think she's worse than she actually is. However after all the adversity and struggles faced her wand eventually bonded with her and balanced out, allowing her to reach her full potential once she stopped doubting her abilities.
There's a war not far from here;
A P P E A R A N C E:
Playby || Shelley Hennig
Race/Ethnicity || Although Marisol has a light complexion and lighter hair, she can "pass" for white, but she is proudly Latina.
Hair || Marisol's hair is naturally brown, but since she spends a lot of time out in the sun on the island, it tends to get sun bleached into a light dirty blonde. Currently she has it trimmed short above her shoulders because she is living in Colombia with her grandparents and it is extremely hot there.
Eyes || Brown; Long, expressive eyelashes
Other Features || Marisol has several scars from the night of her attack. Thankfully most of them can be hidden, except she does have a small one going across her left temple where she fell face down onto a branch and hit her head there. She has several long claw marks running down the back of her neck and onto her shoulder/upper back. She also has a bite mark scar on her right side/waist. It is visible when she wears a bikini/bra so she only wears one-piece bathing suits. She also has scars on her palms from digging her nails into her palms. These happened while human, but werewolves, even in human form, leave permanent scars for whatever injuries they cause. More scars are anticipated from her transformations.
Sparks will fly, they ignite our bones;

House || Gryffindor

We light up the world;
M I S C E L L A N E O U S:
Patronus || Wolf; her true self inside
Expecto Patronum || When she felt like she was a squib because she had trouble with magic, but Wyatt Finch told her she was just as magic as everyone else and deserved to be at Hogwarts too.
Boggart || A werewolf; mostly a werewolf attacking any of her loved ones because she wouldn't wish her condition on anyone.
Riddikulus || In order to make the werewolf go away, Marisol would imagine the full moon that hung over the wolf turns into the sun so the wolf begins to burn and shrink due to the sunlight. She knows that's not what actually happens to werewolves in sunlight but it's the way she would imagine it to defeat the boggart.
Dementor || There are two memories that would haunt Marisol if she faced a dementor: the night she was attacked, and the last time she and Wyatt ever talked because it was their last time seeing each other and she misses him.
Mirror of Erised || Seeing herself scar-free and disease free
Amortentia || The smell of the ocean, chocolate, and a sterile hospital smell
Veritaserum || Marisol's biggest, deepest secret is that she is glad she got bitten because it made her work harder at proving that she can be a witch. If the magic in her blood was what helped her to survive an attack like that, it must mean she's good enough to do magic therefore it pushes her to be a better wizard. This is something she does not know or realize about herself at all and would surprise her to hear herself say this if she took the Veritaserum.

F A M I L Y:
Mother Angela (nee. Lopez) Woods 
Muggle, 54 (2029*: 41) Mexican, Puerto Rican Interior Designer Marisol's mother is rather playful and silly for her age, and has passed that trait down to her kids. However Mari also got her short temper from her mom. She is very supportive of all her kids. | Father Jorge Woods 
Muggle, 58 (2029: 45) Colombian Accountant There is nothing significantly special about Marisol's dad. He is delightfully boring as an accountant and good father to his kids, and Marisol loves him just the way he is. |
Older Brother Oscar Woods 
Muggle, 27 (2029: 14) Mexican, Colombian, Puerto Rican Although they annoyed each other like siblings do growing up, as adults, Oscar has really been there for Marisol in her older years, providing her a safe place to transform away from everyone. | Younger Sister Camila Woods 
Ravenclaw Grad, 21 (2029: 8) Mexican, Colombian, Puerto Rican Camila also attended HNZ and might be more protective of Marisol than Mari is of her. She is more reserved than Marisol is but fiercely loyal. They would do anything for each other. |
