Name Meaning:
Connor: Wolf/Hound Lover. Was not picked based on any specific meaning or dead relative with this name. Connor's mother wanted a boy and had picked out this name which can double as a girl's name just in case.
Elizabeth: Consecrated to God. Again not picked for any reason at all other than her parents thought it was a nice girly name to make the girl know despite the boy first name she is in fact a girl.

Birthday: February 14th 2012

From: Bulgaria and France.
Currently lives in Australia.
Why: Connor graduated from Durmstrang Academy, while her twin sister graduated from Beaxbatons. The older girl Eliska seemed to have everything going for her and Connor wanted to get away and start a new. Choosing a place far away from her family, Australia seemed to be like a nice place. There were places with Witches and Wizards around and she knew that New Zealand also had a big center of magical life. She dislikes muggles greatly, despite the fact her father is one as well. This is mostly due to her life at Durmstrang, and learning how muggles are beneath the wizardry community.

Personality:
Connor grew up being very dark and bitter towards life.
Her elder twin always was the bright one.
As they grew up Eliska was the one who gained all the friends, all the boyfriends, all the popularity.
While Connor was just a torn in her side.
People always simple questions to her, like What's your favorite color?
And this bugs her, because even though they might not know about her eyes,
she is constantly knowing that there are things out there she can't see.
It's like a Astronomer knowing that theres another Star out there to find
but it's to far away and he'll never be able to see it. For her thats her issue
with seeing yellow and green. She'll never know how true it is that the Sky is
Blue and Grass green, to her both are Blue and the sky isn't even a true Sky Blue to her.

Most of her personality is based on this simple fact.
She is jealous of her Twin sister, who can see every color in the world,
and sometimes it seems even more. As a child Connor gets into plenty of fights with
others over colors and had been taken out of Muggle school to learn from her
mother at home based on what her sister was learning at school. She also got plenty of
early training in the knowledge of Magic because of it. Learning basic History facts
along with Lumos before her sister had gotten the chance to learn the spells.

Although now that she is older Connor has learned.
Learned not to be so jealous of her sister, and it helps not seeing Eliska.
She tries to be herself but it is difficult in the world of magic to have such a problem with her eyes.
She always as to read signs for different magical things,
she doesn't have the ability to base things on colors.
Connor buys most of the potions she needs around the house,
she finds it too difficult as most are based on timing when the color changes.
That is why she was jealous of her sister, her ability to see and understand.
Connor did not truly understand what color was, most of the colors looked the same to her,
red was really the only color she could truly see, and it stood out to her.

When she was a child and traveling with her parents, her mother would wear a red coat.
Or something red all the time so little Connor could always find her in a crowd if she ever got lost.
It was the one nice thing her mother ever really did for her, Connor believed.

Family:
- Andrei Barnard(father) Muggle.
Connor hasn't spoken to her father since she graduated Durmstrang and left her life in Europe behind. Him being a muggle effected her life at school greatly, and to prove to others she had to commit herself to the Dark Arts and banish her love for her father and mother. After leaving school she also left her friends behind. She did not care for those she met at school. All of them were cruel and she wished she had chosen Beauxbatons despite the fact she would have been following her sister around everywhere and just being her shadow in everything. Except maybe Charms, it had quickly become Connor's best subject and while she refused to talk about classes with her sister, she was sure that she had done better in the subject than Eliska. Connor did have a picture of her family all together which she kept fondly in a box of different things she had dear to her heart. Every so often she would take it out to look at her parents and her twin.

-Cher Barnard(mother) Witch.
Connor never got along with her mother growing up. The woman never tried to understand why she hated to wear girly outfits and colors. Connor was and is still a boyish woman. She never liked wearing the dresses her mother would put her in and hated it even more when she and Eliska had to match. It never seemed fair to her that Eliska knew exactly how she looked in everything she wore and Connor couldn't even name the color of the dress she was wearing. She preferred darker clothing or red, but her mother never liked those colors very much.

-Eliska Barnard(sister) Witch.
Connor was always jealous of her sister and never really liked the girl. She was too girly, to flirty, too everything for Connor. She still tried her best to get on with her twin growing up, and going to different schools managed to help. Eliska was always nice and really the only problem in their relationship was the grudge Connor held against the world. But she was mostly grown out of that stage and knows that this is her life, she better do the best she can and get along with her sister. She won't be given a second chance to do so. However she still doesn't enjoy the fact that Eliska gets all the attention from the guys based on her girly clothing.
