WHY
Winnie’s parents have always told her, that they had a soft spot for the muggle media Disney and specifically Winnie the Pooh, and thus with in her knowledge as their only daughter/child, they decided to give her the name Winnie. It is a name which both of her parents claim to enjoy a great deal. Her middle name is her mother’s maiden name, and it was important for her parents to give her this name, for her to have a name just like her mother, especially as the surname is the father’s. Though ehr mother is the bread winner of the family, in the much bigger career business, the family are still fairly traditional, and thus Winnie takes her father’s name rather than her mother’s name. Winnie is fairly indifferent to her names. She likes the name Winnie but that is about all, the rest are just functional, they are her names and there’s no sense in feeling any which way about them.


NICKNAMES
Winnie has no nicknames and will correct people if they try to give her one. She’ll correct people if they try to give her pet names. Though she does feel fairly indifferent to her name she is very adamant that people will refer to her correctly, and not incorrectly. Thus, she is and will always be Winnie.


AGE
Winnie is 11 years old.


D.O.B.
Winnie was born in the early hours of the morning, she came right on time, down to the exact day that the healers had said that she would arrive. She was a fairly easy birth by her mother’s account of the incident. She was of a healthy weight and size when she arrived, perhaps a little on the smaller side, but not enough to raise any alarms.


FATHER
He was born and raised in a suburb of London. His father was in the army before the move to the UK. He was raised in a very strict, religious family. He was studious student, achieving highly in school, so much so that he attended Cambridge university before joining the UK army. Where he served until moving to live in New Zealand with his wife. He is a muggle, who came to learn about the magical world when he and his wife finally got married. He is a very strict man, strong morales and work ethic. He now works as a park ranger in one of the national parks of New Zealand. He stayed at home during the first 2 years of Winnie’s life, being a fundamental part in her education and early development in teaching her how best to make beds, and keep to time etc. He has high hopes for his daughter but is very short with her now and is in the middle of Winnie and her mother.



MOTHER
Muggleborn witch, she attended Hogwarts Scotland, Ravenclaw. Her parents were property developers who worked out of New Zealand, having moved to the country when they first setting up the company able to find a good piece of development. They weren’t keen to send their child far away, but knew she had to excel in school wherever suited her best and they’d learned that Hogwarts was the best school to send her to. Between the work she was doing at Hogwarts, especially in the breaks, she was made to continue her muggle subjects, achieving perfect grades in both, spending a year after graduating hogwarts catching up in her muggle grades. She attended Cambridge university where she met her future husband. They had a long distance relationship for the first ten years of their relationship, he was doing his thing and she was working in New Zealand taking over from her parents. She grew the company, expanding into magical property. She works exceedingly hard for everything she’s ever gotten. With Winnie she has been exceedingly hands on with her education and upbringing, unknowingly to Winnie trying to undo the mistakes she made with her first daughter.


SIBLING(S)
Winnie believes that she has no siblings. But in reality she has one older sister, Minnie, whom she has never met. Whom she has no relationship to or with.


OTHER
Winnie’s parents were both themselves only children, and thus she has a very small family, a very nuclear family. She doesn’t mind it, though she did used to get a little jealous when other kids would talk about having grandparents. She has never had grandparents.


RELATIONSHIP TO FAMILY
By in large, Winnie has a good relationship with her parents. She understands and knows their expectations of her and has no illusions beyond it. She gets along well with her mother, though her mother is harsh and controlling of every part of Winnie’s life. She just lets it happen, knowing that there’s no sense in fighting her mother will always win. She is less close with her family as she spends far less time with him, but the relationship is still good. He has been pivotal in helping her learn things like how to make her bed properly and proper form when it comes to exercise.

PET(S)
No pets. They are a waste of time, space and energy.


BLOOD STATUS
Winnie is half blood, her mother is a witch and her father is a muggle.


THOUGHTS ON BLOOD STATUS
Winnie has no real thoughts on it. She is thankful to be magic, but doesn’t really feel any particular way about it otherwise. Having a muggle parent is useful in learning and knowing about the muggle world. She knows it’ll be an easy class when she gets to it, but doesn’t need to think that much more than that. Winnie likes having a foot in both worlds.


HOMETOWN
Auckland, New Zealand


CURRENT RESIDENCE
Auckland, New Zealand


THE PLACE TO LIVE
Winnie enjoys her home, her home twon and living with her parents but she is very keen for the day she can move out. Her parents have a very particular way of styling the house and she would like to have some choices to do with that. She likes the area that they live in, but it is a pretty muggle area and she would much rather live in a magical area.


PREVIOUS HOMES
None


SEXUAL ORIENTATION
Winnie doesn’t yet know what her sexual orientation, but she does find boys cute and not girls, so it is likely that she just hasn’t yet put a label on being straight.


CURRENT RELATIONSHIP STATUS
Winnie’s current relationship status is a little complex, only in the sense that she is loosely engaged to a boy. It is a pre-arranged marriage by her and his parents. The agreement is mostly in stone, but it won’t come into force until they’re both of age and/or have graduated. There is still scope for it to be dismissed, but knowing her parents, and how happy her mother was about this, she is pretty sure it won’t and is keen for it to not.

HAIR STYLE
Winnie has very long thick brown hair, she likes it long as she feels she can do more with it, and it doens’t bother her to have to look after it. She finds looking after it to be a breeze. She likes being able to wear it however she wants, though specifically down a lot. She’ll tie it up when she needs to, when it really needs to out of the way, but otherwise she won’t at all. Her mother loves her hair and provided she gets it cut occasionally, and takes care of it, her mother had no problems with her keeping her hair as long as she has it.

HAIR HAS BEEN DYED
Never, though she does want to dye it, her mother has just said that she needs to wait a couple of years before she can do that.


EYE COLOUR
Winnie has light brown eyes. They are the same as her mother’s eyes and she enjoys them about them. She does sometimes feel a little jealous when she sees people with nice blue eyes or nice green eyes, as they can be more noticeable than her own, but she still very much likes her own eyes, and her own eye colour.


BIRTHMARKS/FRECKLES/SCARS
Winnie has a few birthmarks and freckles but no scars. Though she keeps her health good with exercise, she does not actually have any scars, she was very careful to avoid getting injured in any way that could cause scarring and if she did was quick to do things to prevent it from scarring.


BODY TYPE
Winnie has a slim, small body type. She hasn’t yet hit a good growth spurt and thus is alittle on the shorter side of things. She is likely to always be a little below average height or just at average height. She takes after her mother in that regard.


BLOOD TYPE
TEXT


WHICH HAND?
Winnie is right handed.
She was made to learn with her right hand, and thus is right handed. She has no time or need to try and become left handed or use both hands and is perfectly content to just use the one hand - the right.


VOICE
Having been born and raised in New Zealand, Winnie has a New Zealand accent, there is a little lilt in it from the fact her mother is Spanish and that they speak spanish at home, but it is not particularly noticeable.


LANGUAGES
Winnie is fluent in English, Spanish and Portugese with a base knowledge of Italian. Her parents were very keen to make her multilingual, and so took great care to have her be introduced to the languages very early on and to make sure she keeps them up. Even while at school, she knows her parents will want her to keep the languages up.


ALLERGIES
No known allergies


PERSONAL STYLE
Winnie’s still is a very formal and somewhat traditional style, she’s more likely to be in a skirt or dress than jeans or trousers. She will dress formally rather than informally, even for most things which wouldn’t require her to be formal. She’ll only ever be informal if she needs to for sports etc.

No one really wins in the end ,
Hits me every now and again ,

------------------------------------------------------------
CHARACTER LIKES
Winnie likes winning, she likes being right. She likes being recognised for her hard work and likes being able to show up for herself in doing the hard work. She likes looking and feeling pretty - though hard work in terms of school is important to her, she likes to feel good about herself when she does so, which is something she has tied to her appearance. She has high standards for herself and will always try and meet them.


CHARACTER DISLIKES
Winnie dislikes losing a lot. She doesn’t like not getting something she has worked hard for, especially in situations when it is owed to her. She will always try to right a wrong like this when it is done to her. She dislikes when people are dismissive of her, or when they think they’re better than her. She hates when people try to be nice to her and say that it’s not just because they want something. She hates people who are dead weight, who don’t try.


GOALS
Winnie just wants to be the best at everything and to be just like her mother.


BOGGART
Her parents would appear, they would be screaming at her and they would be saying they were disappointed in her and there would be no way for her to make it up to them.


PATRONUS
A Hippogriff


PATRONUS MEMORY
When Winnie received her first A in her muggle school, her parents said that they were very happy with it, and her father said proud. It is the closest she has come to being told her family was proud of her.


DEMENTOR
Winnie has had a pretty easy life, any of the times where she let her parents down would be this. Though she works hard to ensure she doesn’t. She doesn’t like when her parents are disappointed in her or yell at her.


VERITISERUM
If Winnie were being truly honest, she’d say that she knows her parents love is conditional, and that she doesn’t think she’ll ever truly achieve it.


MIRROR OF ERISED
Her mother would be by her side, she’d have achieved highly and her mother would be proud of her. Would say that she was proud of her. For all the work and effort that Winnie puts in to be like her mother, to make her mother proud of her, she has never really heard her mother say it, or say it in a way that makes her really believe it.


AMORENTIA
Old textbooks and candy floss. Winnie is very single minded when it comes to her learning, but she does enjoy the smell of old textbooks, the musty damp smell that old books have, and then candy floss. She’s not really allowed sweet things like candy floss, and she’s never been at a place where she was allowed candy floss either. It’s just something she likes the smell of and would like to taste, even if it’s just sugar.


I LOOK UP TO
Easily for Winnie this is her mother. She has been raised in an environment where her mother was her primary care giver, despite working all the time. Winnie is known to most of the staff at her mother’s work, and she has done lots of things at her mother’s work, including working in the mail room. She thinks her mother is incredible in balancing all the different parts of her life together. Without letting one thing drop. Her mother expects a lot from her, but winnie knows why.


RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
Her father is catholic and thus she has been brought up to be like them, Catholic. She doesn’t believe in any of it. Largely as in her mind magic and faith cannot mix, but she is respectful of it and has done the necessary scarements for it. She knows her father will be keen for her to do the others during the breaks in semesters.

ZODIAC SIGN
Taurus

ZODIAC DESCRIPTION
Underneath their cool, calm and collected exterior, Taureans differ greatly from all the other signs of the zodiac. Taureans manage to discreetly stay apart from the crowd, even though they have a well-earned reputation for being socialisers. They will let others get close, but only so close as they want them. Some claim that trying to get your point across to a Taurean, should they not want to hear you, is rather similar to talking to the trees - they simply won't budge. And, there is no such thing as an open-book Taurean. Their feelings, fears and desires often run far deeper than anyone around them would guess. Like the butterfly that chooses to remain hidden in its cocoon until it is ready and prepared to emerge, so the true Taurean spirit remains hidden behind a veneer of day-to-day activities. That's why Taureans are sometimes regarded as snobby, withdrawn, boring, or even sulky. The truth is, when Taureans manage to operate very adequately on their own form of automatic pilot, they can switch off from the world around them very efficiently. And when they do switch off, they are actually gathering in their inner reserves to deal with the outside pressures. This sign is also very closely connected to 'feeling good'. Most Taureans like their creature comforts and hate change because it takes them out of their automatic pilot condition of separating themselves from the world around them. Because they hate to be put in jeopardy of any kind, this is the sign that strives to create tomorrow in advance, rather than leave it to fate. In love, Taureans are regarded as extremely sensual beings. An earth sign, they deal well with the personal, physical senses and consequently all the pleasures associated with what they can see, touch, smell and taste, add up to a special delight to them. Often nature and pet lovers, Taureans are closely associated with all things off the earth and nature.

BASIC PERSONALITY
Winnie is a very determined and bright individual. She is stubborn and will do whatever it takes to get what she achieves. She does not have friends in a traditional sense and has absolutely no sense of loyalty to the friends that she does have. If she doesn’t need them, she won’t keep them around. If they aren’t useful to her she won’t bother in the first place. She is polite to professors and adults and will be more polite in the beginning and will get less polite if being polite won’t get her what she wants.

OTHER SCHOOLS ATTENDED
St. Mary’s Private School

YEARS OF ATTENDANCE
All primary years


HOUSE (IF APPLICABLE)
N/A - there were no houses in the junior school.

FIRST THOUGHTS
winnie was mostly just ready to start, she had done a lot of work with her parens and tutors leading up to it, so she could already do the basics of what was required, so she was just eager to get started.

GRADES ACHIEVED
The school had a formal grading system which gave Winnie straight As (muggle system) and she was top of her class.

FAVOURITE CLASS
She liked maths, she was always very good at it, and liked being able to solve the problems that it posed. It was just interesting to her to learn and then solve the equations.

LEAST FAVOURITE CLASS
Winnie always struggled most with art classes, as in her mind they had zero direction. She knows the arts are important, but they just are not for her.

SKIPPING CLASS?
Never, it would be disrespect to her parents.

SCHOOL CLUBS
Sports club - General, Debating Club, Reading club, Music club. Her mother worked long hours and thus Winnie generally needed something to do after school, when she wasn’t with her mum in the afternoon at her mum’s work.

POSITIONS ACHIEVED
She was a junior prefect by the time she left.

WAND
Curved 17 Inch Unyielding Laurel Wand with Unicorn Hair Core

WAND DESCRIPTION
Length: An impressively long wand, not easily concealed - used by those who desire to make a statement.

Style: Bending to its side, this wand is more difficult to aim than its straighter counterparts but provides character that some simply cannot pass by.

Wood: A Laurel wand suits one who pursues glory. Though rumoured to be unable to perform a dishonourable action, Laurel wands are formidable foes and expect their owners to never stop in their pursuit of bigger and better things.

Core: The animal is known for its healing qualities and unbridled beauty, so it is no surprise that wands with unicorn hair are particularly successful at performing healing spells. Wands with this core bond with their first caster, making wands with this core not good as hand-me-downs. These wands are useful with charms and transfigurations.

Flexibility: Unyielding: A wand which takes a special skill and determination to master; but once mastered its spells leave an unforgettable impression.


THOUGHTS ABOUT WAND
Winnie loves her wand, she loves the wood and the core, she loves the size of it, as it will always leave an impact and make sure that people remember her.

SCHOOL
Hogwarts New Zealand

FIRST THOUGHTS
The school itself does not matter to her, it could’ve been a shed in Borely Mansion, what matters was being there, and what matters is being able to make the connections that she needs, learning what she needs to.

HOUSE
Slytherin

THOUGHTS WHILE BEING SORTED
Winnie was very ready for her schooling, and thus being sorted was just the last step that she had to take to be able to do that. She was eager to be sorted, to get sorted and was happy to be one of the first. She knew that she was likely to get slytherin, it was just fairly clear that she would. There had been a chance for Ravenclaw, but Winnie has always been very aware of her own mind.

SORTING POST
Winnie was finally at Hogwarts. At long last she was here. Really at the school. The train ride had been interesting, she'd met a number of students, which was pretty good, two of them had a parent who was a teacher and that was definitely a reason to keep them around a little. Winnie also knew that in amongst the crowd of other first years was the person her parents had told her about. She knew she would seek him out the moment that she could. Just not right at that very moment. The girl walked into the great hall with the other students, she held her head high, ready to take this all on. She knew that she had this, she had to. But this was just the beginning. The rest of the school journey would continue from this point.

Winnie pushed her way through the front of the crowd, giving apologies to people that she didn't mean. She could claim it to be because of her name, being one of the first to get sorted, but mostly, she didn't want to not see this, not get a perfect view of the sorting hat and a straight path to where she would sit down. She glanced at the hat as the garment began singing. Though she knew to expect this. Winnie didn't think it was a very good song, but she wouldn't say it to it. She would be polite, be polite like her parents had always taught her to be. The names began being called, and she paused at Vikram, that was it. She watched him get sorted and sorted into Ravenclaw. That was a good sign, though she knew from her readings about the houses, that though she was smart, her other personality traits would win. It wasn't long after when her name was called.

"Calida, Winnie,"

She stepped forward immediately, a smile on her features, she smoothed down her skirt quickly and then turned as she sat, facing the crowd, while sitting up, perfect posture and closing her eyes as the hat was placed on her head.

"The intelligence is there but you're quite right about being all wrong for Ravenclaw even though your ambitions line up well with that house. It's the how you'll get to those ambitions that make you, well, you. And those traits draw a path directly to...Slytherin!"


CURRENT YEAR
First Year

PREVIOUS YEARS
First Year (Y47): Winnie had a good first year, she believes she made a good first impression with all of her professors, she did well in her exams and did well overall. She joined the hogwarts monthly and a few other clubs. She did well in each of those and is looking to continue to do well in things. She didn't get top points which was a disappointement to her, and she knows it'll be a disappointment to her parents also.
