Eliane Ventris

[Eliane Ventris]

Character Name: Eliane Ventris
Age: 17
Date of Birth: May 24
Year at Hogwarts: 7th

Background:

Eliane was a bit of a surprise to her parents, not in terms of conception but rather the time of birth. Dorris spent months plotting and finally talked her husband into visiting France when the baby girl decided she was getting tired of kicking at the inside of her mother’s stomach and bothering her bladder and attempted to make her way out in the world, in spite of her mother’s wish for her to be born in their home.

But to Gregory it happened for a reason, and his little girl was born in the beautiful city of Nates. Though the new parents made their way home as soon as they could so the baby could get use to her home.

Eliane grew up in a normal fashion for a witch born in a muggle town around muggle friendly parents. Not only did she learn about the little quirky traditions of her parents’ world that she love, she got to be apart of an equally quirky and interesting culture. It was hard for her at first, to remember that there were just some things that she couldn’t tell her best friends about, like the self cleaning pots around her house and the chimney that would take her family just about anywhere, but she got use to it and was able to make the change.

A few days after her 11th birthday, when a party was thrown in her backyard involving all of her friends from class and the other families from the neighborhood, she received the owl that her parents were eagerly waiting for (which crashed into the cake and made the girl slightly unwilling to attend Hogwarts for a moment, if they were willing to let an owl destroy her birthday cake). Her letter from Hogwarts was met with a happy reply of acceptance, and she followed along in her brother’s footsteps to the school.

Though she did far better than her brother when it came to school. She took to Hogwarts like a bird to flight and started out great. It was in her 2nd year that she was able to indulge in her love of Quidditch, joining her house’s team while still keeping up with the work she had to do in school. At the end of every year she went home happy and returned the next year happier.


Personality:

Explaining Eliane is one of those things that can take years to do properly, then it has to be written all over again just because there’s so much more to learn or she went and changed all together. But at the base of everything she’s a moody girl with an interest in everything and a firm believer in the ‘I’ll try anything at least once’ policy.

Odd habits are a stable with her and it is rather impossible to list them all, but the most notable of them is to make a small funny face when someone looks at her just a bit too long for her liking without speaking, maybe for more than 5 seconds. She loves the oddities and the differences in people and will love and cling to those more in terms of personality more so than ‘normality’, but there are things that even she finds weird and inexcusably odd.

She isn’t terribly outgoing, but sometimes she’ll fake a confidence surge to go out of her way to meet people and get to know them. It’s clear that Eliane likes to make people feel comfortable, so she’ll go out of the way when asked to do a favor to make sure it’s to the requester’s liking.

Eliane has athazagoraphoia, which is a fear of being forgotten or forgetting, though in her case it’s just the fear of forgetting. Because of this, she’ll take more thorough than usual notes in class and will carry at least one notebook and a quill wherever she goes so she can write things down.

Eliane sees herself as an average girl with a few quirks here and there. She knows there are times when she can seem a little more odd than average but she’s taken the time to accept that and few people can change that. Sometimes she has a plunge in self-esteem, but usually after a day spent by herself she can get over it.

Her favorite class by far is Charms, but she does have a knack and excels at Care of Magical Creatures and Transfiguration, making them her second and third favorite. She took Astronomy because she thought it was simply, and ended up hating it horribly and finding it uninteresting. It goes without saying that Astronomy was her napping and daydreaming class. She received her highest marks in History of Magic just because of her will not to forget, but that subject was uninteresting to her as well. Every other class is neither here or there to her.

Physical Appearance:

At 5’7”, Eliane sports a slender build owed to all of her running about and playing with her friends and brother as a child and her continued participation in Quidditch. Her skin falls something at a medium light brown color that gets just a tad darker during the summer months. She has scars on her upper arms, the testament to being such a clumsy child and having an almost magnetic attraction to the ground (she fell often). Her black hair falls well past her shoulder blades, usually worn in waves or in curls.

When outside of Hogwarts for the summer or during breaks, Eliane likes to experiment with her looks. She has no set style to her outfits, but she does have a few types of clothing that she prefers. Dress shirts are her favorite type of tops, while dark colored Capri’s are her favorite bottoms. Outside of that, she can be seen wearing just about anything once. At school when outside of her robes, the girl keeps things simple, and sticks to embroidered jeans and t-shirts with slogans written along them.

Sample Role-play:

“Go away! Get a life! Stay away from me!”

Eliane’s hazel eyes narrowed into sharp points aimed at her older brother. He was standing on the other end of her bedroom in her doorframe, giving her a small grin and watching her pack for school. Chip-Chu was laying down on his carpet nearby, watching the witch as well. But his stares were welcome. The stares of her dead beat brother who had yet to change out of his pajamas at one in the afternoon were not.

“Why are you still here? Get out!” All of her infamous patience was lost, hands releasing the books she was trying to pack into her faded purple trunk so she could storm across the room to him, giving him a threatening glare. It was met with a loud laugh from Jypson, but when a 5’7” girl was attempting to threaten a 6’3” male it was bound to be a little humorous. Chip-Chu growled, rolling over onto his back randomly in the corner. “You’re bothering Chu!” Eliane pointed at the mess of brown fur that stopped growling when he heard his name.

“I just want to spend a few more hours with my little sister before she leaves.” He smiled innocently, crossing his arms over his chest and kneeling down so they were eye to eyes. “Is there anything so wrong with that?”

Oh, he was up to something, he had to be. They didn’t get along well enough for that to be a valid comment for him. But her eyes were forced over to the clock on her wall and the time. She didn’t have enough of it to continue messing with her brother.

“Fine, I don’t care.” Eliane said, walking back to her bed and picking up her books, loading them in one hand while another went to unfasten the latch on her truck. When she pulled it open, she was greeted by a loud croak, followed by the back of an insanely large toad lifting out of the box.

She let out a shrill scream, dropping her books so she could flee to her door, where her brother waited laughing himself to stitches. “You ass!” Eliane looked at him with wide eyes full of infuriation, barely waiting for him to recover from his laughing before tackling him to the ground. Chip-Chu rolled onto his feet and padded over to the fighting siblings, lending his aid to his owner by biting Jypson’s foot.
