Overview of Personality:
Marlow is a bit of a “Free Spirit.” She does not like to plan anything; instead she enjoys letting fate decide. She often is disorganized due to this fact and struggles with proritizing. She often does what she wants to do when she wants to do instead of focusing on what is important to others. Her father often calls her “scatter-brained” due to her behaviour. Even though Marlow often does not have her prorities right, she does have a strong focus on what she enjoys to do. She is very driven and determined only when it serves her purposes. An example of this is her drawing. Marlow loves anything related to the arts (painting, drawing, music, reading). However, her main focus is and has always been drawing. Marlow will board herself up in her art studio for a whole day only coming out for food and other necessities. Her art work does often interfer with her responsibilities. Her father thinks her “hobby” takes up too much time in her life. Her mother supports her daughter fully, understanding Marlow's passion.
Marlow is a very personable person, however she does pick and choose who gets close to her. She has many “friends”, but only the fair few Marlow would do anything for. Those who she is loyal to, she believes will be friends for life. Marlow has one best friend she has had since she was five years old, Mason.

MBTI Personality Type: Debater ENTP-A MBTI Personality Type Description: "Debaters are the ultimate devil’s advocate, thriving on the process of shredding arguments and beliefs and letting the ribbons drift in the wind for all to see. They don’t always do this because they are trying to achieve some deeper purpose or strategic goal, though. Sometimes it’s for the simple reason that it’s fun. Debaters’ unyielding honesty, as this type doesn’t mince words and cares little about being seen as sensitive or compassionate. Like-minded types get along well enough with people with the Debater personality type, but more sensitive types, and society in general, are often conflict-averse, preferring feelings, comfort, and even white lies over unpleasant truths and hard rationality." Temperament: Sanguine Temperament Description: "When you first meet someone with the sanguine temperament, you're likely to feel you've known them for a long time. They are comfortable to talk to and get to know. They are extremely friendly, talkative, and social. They will frequently get caught up in conversations and lose track of time.

Name: Ember Alex Sanderson Maiden Name: Ember Alex Addison Birth Name: Alex Ember Addison (Ember goes by her middle name). Blood Status: Half Blood Profession: Gardener/Homeschool Teacher Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw History:
Ember's family was very strict. Her mother expected a lot from her daughter and held her to very high standards. She had to get the best grades and participate in all the activities that were "proper." When Ember left for Hogwarts and was sorted into Ravenclaw, her parents were even more critical of her performance. However, this experience did allow Ember to expand her activities where she found her love for herbology. Her parents would have rather her have a more "appropriate" career. To this day Ember does not speak to her mother and her father has now passed away. She is on a good basis with all of her siblings though. She has eight siblings (six sisters and two brothers). She is only on close terms with a few of her siblings. Personality:
Marlow's mother, Ember, is much like her daughter (well Marlow is a lot like her). She is very easy going and calm. Ember is a gardener and loves to use magic to help plants and flowers grow. Ember loves to use herbs and plants to help in every day life. She spends most her time in the garden when she is not homeschooling the kids. Ember uses a Reggio Approach to learning which means that she believes children learn through play. This is a very unstructured method of learning and does contribute to Marlow's dislike for schedules and rules. Ember recognizes Marlow's passion for art much like her own passion for gardening. She is very supportive of her children's interests and does whatever she can to make their dreams come true. Played By: Vanessa Hudgens
Father:
Name:Donaghy Liam Sanderson Blood Status: Muggleborn Hogwarts House: Slytherin Profession: Doctor (Telemedicine) History:
Donaghy grew up with a widowed mother and four siblings. His father passed on when he was only eight years old. Donaghy's mother worked multiple jobs to keep his family afloat and give her children the best she could. Donaghy, as the eldest sibling, would help his mother financially by working a mail route or bagging groceries. He has always been driven and determined to live a “better life.” When he was accepted into Hogwarts (the first in his family), he knew he would one day help his mother and siblings succeed. Personality:
Donaghy is the more strict of the parents. Although he loves his wife, he sometimes wonders if she is too “easy” on the kids and their unproductive “hobbys.” Donaghy came from very little and has to work for everything in his life from a young age. This created a very driven individual. Even though Donaghy believes that Marlow's talents would be used better in other fields, he does love his daughter and supports her in his own way. Donaghy travels a lot for work, often leaving for weeks at a time. When he is home, he spends time with the family to make up for the lengths of time he is away from them. Donaghy often “buys” his family's love when he makes a mistake. This often includes new and unique flowers for Ember, art supplies for Marlow, and toys for the boys. He does not intend to use money to create happiness, but growing up with very little he wants to give his children all he didn't have. Played By: Jonathan Groff
Brother:
Name: Ryder Haines Sanderson Blood Status: Half Blood Personality:
Ryder is the more outgoing twin. He is often loud and does not think things through. He does not feel like he fits in with his mother and siblings, but does relate to this father. Ryder loves to play Football and is extremely competitive. Played By: NIck Robinson
Brother:
Name: Rune Talon Sanderson Blood Status: Half Blood Personality:
Rune is the more quiet of the twins. Secretly he is Marlow's favourite sibling. Rune is more interested in the arts than his brother Ryder. Rune is mostly a bookworm. He loves to read books about famous artists and tell Marlow about them. Rune is extremely smart and loves to feel included. Played By: Nick Robinson
Grandmother:
Name: Rose Talon Sanderson Nickname: Grandma Blood Status: Half Blood Profession: Retired History:
Rose is Donaghy's mother. She is a mother of five. All her children are now grown and she has moved into with Donaghy and his family. Rose lost her husband when Donaghy was eight years old. He passed away in a work accident, he was a construction worker. Rose has always done the best she can for her children even in tough times. She is determined, driven, and very hard on herself. She often blames herself for how her children grew up and for her husband's passing. Personality:
Rose is a very stubborn woman. She has been through a lot rasing her children alone and it did harden her a little. She is not as affectionate towards Marlow and the twins as Marlow would like in a grandmother. She does love her children and grandchildren, but often neglects to show these feelings. Played By: Lily Tomlin
Grandmother:
Name: Ana Addison Nickname: Mimi Blood Status: Half Blood Profession: Socialite History:
Ember does not speak to her mother anymore since graduating school. Ana was very strict with her children and expected Ember to turn out a certain way. On occasion, Marlow will get a birthday card from her "grandmother," but has no memory of ever speaking with her in person. Ana Addison has very strong beliefs that appearances are everything. She held all of her ten children to that while growing up which created a damaged relationship with Ember once she had graduated from school. Due to this Marlow, does not really know her grandmother or even many of her aunts, uncles, and cousins on this side of the family. Personality:
Ana's life revolves around appearances. She raised her kids to be the most "perfect" versions of themselves. Ana still calls herself a "socialite" and goes to events regularly even in her own age. The Sandersons do not know much about her due to the falling out. Play By Play: Jane Fonda
Pets:
-None (As of yet)
Family Tree:
Mason:
Mason is Marlow's best friend and next door neighbor. He brings out the silly side of her and keeps her in line. Mason is a muggle who attends school in Marlows hometown. He enjoys reading and riding bikes. He is very outdoor orientated. He loves to bring Malow camping, hiking, and fishing. Mason and Marlow have been friends since they were five years old when Mason gave Marlow his favourite stuffed animal penguin as a welcome to the neighborhood present.
Bree
Bree is Marlow's friend. She is the daughter of her mother's best friend. Bree is outgoing and adventuous which leads to her and Marlow getting in trouble. Bree never knows when to say no and is very competitive. Marlow likes Bree, but would not consider her a best friend. Bree and Marlow hang out for fun, but don't talk much. It is more of a silent friendship based on actions instead of words.
Marlow's Home:
Ground Floor: Master Bedroom is Grandmother's Room, Living Room, Kitchen, Bedroom #2 is Marlow's Art Studio (pictured below) and Bedroom #3 is Marlow's Bedroom (pictured below)
Second Floor:
This floor contains Marlow's parents' room in the Master Suite, Rune and Ryders rooms which are separate rooms connected with a shared bathroom. There is also a guest bedroom on this floor.
Third Floor:
The third floor is the entertainment floor. There is a well stocked library with plenty of reading areas. There is also a game room especially popular with Ryder's friends, and another guest room.
Marlow's Favourite Places at Home:
Marlow comes here to relax and be herself. She basically lives in this room which is connected to her bedroom by a joined bathroom. This room is on the first floor of her house. No one else is allowed in this room and Marlow likes that it is hers alone. She will miss this room the most when going to Hogwarts.
Marlow had free rein when it came to painting her bedroom so she picked her favourite colors and went with it. Although not the best place for artist endeavors; it is a safe place for Marlow to be. She loves the added color and her bed is so comfortable! She also loves the tree art around the room. Ember's Garden
Marlow spends most of her schooling out in this garden. It is her mother's pride and joy. Marlow also likes to come here to draw the flowers on occasion. It really is a peaceful place. Her favourite area of the garden is the fountain.
Hogwarts House: Slytherin Abridged Version of Sorting: "Marlow sat on the stool, looking out into the crowd. This graduating class size is huge. I'll make it work She thought to herself as the hat was place onto her head. Marlow honestly was not sure where she would be placed. Her mother was a Ravenclaw and her Father was a Slytherin. Honestly any of the houses seemed like a good fit, but Marlow did secretly hope she could prove to her father that she was just as determined in life as he was, just in a different way. Closing her eyes. Marlow thought It's time. "It is indeed time...and looking here, while you are exceedingly creative, there's a very sly spirit too, one that inches to prove itself...better be...Slytherin" Full Sorting Link
Reactions: Marlow had to say she was proud of herself for getting sorted into Slytherin. She had thought since she was so similar to her mother that she would be a Ravenclaw for sure. However, deep down she had hoped to prove her father wrong and get sorted into his Alumni House. Her father would always say that Slytherins were leaders and did not have their heads in the clouds. Marlow, as it was known, did indeed have her head in the clouds. When the Sorting Hat announced her as a Slytherin, Marlow instantly thought Take that Dad.
Favourite Class:Charms Reasoning:Marlow finds this class the most useful. There is always something new to be learned. Favourite Activity: Exploring The Castle Grounds Reasoning:The castle and the ground are massive. Marlow does not think she will ever be bored of exploring around and finding new areas. Least Favourite Class: Potions Reasoning: Potions involves following the rules and recipes closely. This has never been easy for Marlow. She is more of the “add some of this” and “Add some of that” type of person. Most Successful Class: Herbology Reasoning: Marlow's mother is a gardener by magical and muggle. She has a love for plants that she has passed down to her daughter. Although Marlow has a talent for herbology, it is not her favourite subject. It hits too close to home. Least Successful Class:History of Magic Reasoning: Marlow cannot seem to keep her attention focused on this class. It's too much information that the young Slytherin girl does not find useful.
