General information

Full name: Naomi Matsui
Name meaning:
Composed of two elements: “nao (直)” (honest, fair, straight) plus “mi (美)” (beautiful). The name means “beautiful and honest”​
Nickname: Naomi's family often calls her Mimi
Hometown: Wellington, New Zealand
Nationality: English-Japanese
Accent: English
Blood status: Muggleborn
Birthdate: October 23, 2046
Place of Birth: York, North Yorkshire, the United Kingdom
Zodiac: Scorpio
House Astrology: Curiosity killed the cat; satisfaction brought it back. If ever a wizard exhibited a danger of self-destruction from too much knowledge, surely it was a Ravenclaw Scorpio. It doesn't matter whether the pet obsession this week is botany, Muggle pop music, or the history of the Necronomicon, if a Ravenclaw Scorpio wants to know about it, then he will, and damn the consequences: full speed ahead. Indeed, just mention that a subject is "forbidden" and you'll see a peculiar light shine in their eyes. They sneak into locked rooms after dark, and forge passes to the restricted library sections. The lust for arcane knowledge is both the greatest strength of these wizards, and the Achilles' heel. It's best to indulge them whenever possible and let the obsession burn itself out; and, when this is not possible, to explain in great detail and absolutely *no* patronizing why the subject must not be explored. These Ravenclaws are quiet and secretive, but don't be fooled by that calm and placid exterior; they have hidden depths.

Magical Information

Wand: Straight 9 1/2 Inch Sturdy Ash Wand with Erumpent Hide Core
Length: On the shorter side of things, this wand offers excellent control and aim - easily an extension of one's own arm
Style: Straight and smooth: what else is there to say?​
Wood: 'Ash is Stubborn,' as the saying goes. Ash wands bond to their owner and do not do well in the hands of others. The master of an Ashen wand may well be stubborn, but arrogance and pride will be met with a wand that is even more stubborn than the wizard!​
Core: Erumpent hide cores help to create unstable and unreliable wands. It tends to add quite the punch to spells, making them more powerful than they should be at the most inopportune of moments​
Flexibility: Sturdy: A solid wand for any witch or wizard - easy to use, and highly dependable​
Hogwarts house: Ravenclaw
Sorting Post:
Naomi still wasn't sure what to think of magic now that she was actually at the place where she would learn all of the different branches of magic. It was odd knowing that there was a whole other world out there in which wizards and witches would go to some sort of boarding school to learn all about magic while all of her family went to a normal school to learn about maths and history and geography. It almost felt wrong to her to be here without her older brothers, to learn about whatever this new world meant while they were stuck in their world. Anyone would choose spellcasting over maths. Of course, there was nothing that she could do about that, though if she could have, there was no doubt in her mind that she would have taken them along with her so that she wouldn't be alone in this. Once the initial shock of finding out that magic had been real had settled down, however, it was actually quite thrilling to know that she was a witch and that she would learn about all the things her school books had mentioned.

She quietly followed the other first-year students to the front of the hall, often glancing around to see what was happening around her. She had read about Hogwarts in one of her school books but never would have guessed that so many young people attended it. It made her wonder if she had ever walked past any witch or wizard in her hometown. Once the Headmaster began to welcome all of them, Naomi tried her best to follow what the man was saying, though found it difficult not to look around the hall some more. She knew that she'd have plenty of time to do so later but everything was just very interesting at the moment. She missed most of what the man said but caught that they were supposed to sit on the stool once their name was being called out, and that the hat was going to sing for them first - hold on, what?! She was both intrigued and a little freaked out when the talking hat finished their song. She decided right there and then that she was going to pay attention from now on, not wanting to miss anything in case another talking object was being brought out. Once the sorting started, it didn't take awfully long before her own name was called out. She quickly made her way through the crowd of first-years and sat down on the stool. This world was weird yet kinda cool.

"There are a lot of cool things about this world, which are also a little weird. Lean in to all of it, though I can see that you are likely too. For you, there's a lot of ambition, a deep desire to learn and prove yourself. But, that desire to learn all you can…that'll be what guides you most, and is what leads you to…Ravenclaw,"

Boggart: Naomi doesn't like to disappoint, so the boggart would probably take the form of her family being disappointed in her. Especially now that she's the only witch in the family, as it puts some pressure on things. Her boggart might change in the future, however.

Patronus memory: TBA
Mirror of Erised: Right now, she would see her brothers alongside her at Hogwarts
Amortentia: Sea breeze, a new book, a sports field, and the smell of cinnamon buns

General background information

Naomi is English but moved to New Zealand with her parents and two older siblings when she was ten years old. They moved because her parents took over a restaurant from her grandparents. She and her brothers took her mother's name after they were born because both parents decided that 'Hurlbutt' might not be a very fun surname to have. Her father used to be bullied for it, in fact. She is a bit of a perfectionist and can be as extremely stubborn once she has figured out how she wants something to be done. She is not mean or inconsiderate by any means, but oftentimes her stubbornness can lead to her not thinking carefully about other people. Growing up with two older brothers has not only taught her how to defend herself but also others, so she will fight back in order to defend the people she loves if she has to. She can also be pretty snarky towards people, especially towards people she doesn't like. She loves sports and played football before moving to New Zealand, which she hasn't picked up ever since because she's not the kind of person who feels comfortable jumping into new things right away. She will once she gets used to it, and when she does, she's usually full of energy. Naomi is the only witch in the family, however, there was talk about a strange old relative a couple of generations back who'd often do something which the rest of the family could not explain. It might just be that she gets her magical roots from that relative. When she learned about magic and the existence of a magical world, she was a bit confused at first but is now very excited to learn more about it. As eager as she is to learn more, she wished she could have done so along with her brothers.
