Born in England to an American mother and English father, Ruth Ann and her family moved back to her mother's native California when she was two, as her mother just couldn't stand the weather of the British isles. As part of the deal to move to the States, both Ruth Ann and her older brother, Jonathan (a sixth year Hufflepuff), are being sent to their father's beloved alma mater, Hogwarts, for their magical educations. Though initially adverse to being sent overseas for school, Ruth Ann conceded during her first year that the old castle wasn't too bad – it has snakes, after all! Her current life goals consist of acquiring a pet snake and successfully transfiguring a yo-yo into an owl.

Personality

The thing to remember about Ruth Ann is that she has ADD but it has yet to be treated (she does not, however, have ADHD, despite her hyper personality – that's just the result of a near-constant consumption of sugar). Because of this she's easily distracted when talking or when in class, often by things of a shiny nature. Overall, Ruth Ann comes across as having a very intense and almost overwhelming personality. If allowed, she'll commandeer the conversation and steamroll over everyone else. Though a positive, happy girl most of the time, she has a short temper and is wont to throwing tantrums when upset, often employing unintended violence against whoever has incurred her wrath.

Strengths, Weaknesses, and Fears

An artistic little twerp, Ruth Ann is rarely seen about the castle without her sketchbook. She draws in it and other items constantly, something that is not always that well accepted by those who've had their journals/homework/books/french toast drawn on. If nothing else, it must be said that she draws a mean banana slug (though she prefers to draw them smiling). Ruth Ann has something of a flare for mischief, though this is somewhat unintentional on her part, and more an off-shoot of her hyper personality and endless curiosity. She's good at History of Magic and decent at Herbology, as both are subjects that interest her, but pulls average grades in those classes that fail to hold her interest (though she tests well, when left uninterrupted).

Ruth Ann is an average student with a shorter-than-average attention span. She likes her classes, really she does! ...it's just that she's not the greatest at remembering what the class has been working on, and for some reason the professor never appreciates it when she tries to turn her toothpick into a pinto instead of a pin – particularly when it's the horse and not the bean >.> Her short attention span often works against her in class, and while she would be earning higher-than-average marks in all her classes if she could focus properly, she's lucky to get the C+ equivalent average considering how much effort she must expend on just concentrating.

At twelve, Ruth Ann continues to be afraid of the dark, and refuses to sleep without nightlight. Though she fails to understand it herself, she has an intense fear of vampires, and, strangely enough, being caught without her shoes on. Because of the later, she insists on wearing slip-on shoes so that she can easily put them on if ever thrust into a situation in which she'd want them.
