Phoebe Hamilton
- Name: Phoebe Ashira Hamilton
- Bloodine: Halfblood
- Birthplace: Ashford, England
- Class: Upper-middle
- Year: 6th
- House: Gryffindor
- Wand: Maple Wood and Unicorn hair
Now the maple is a tree most commonly found all over Canada. This country has a beautiful red maple leaf on their flag as well. The maple is a symbol of freedom and pride. Now is there any more proud and free a magical creature than the unicorn? Maybe a centaur...But all in all the unicorn is the magical creature that craves liberty and independence from humans the most. Also, if you ever meet a unicorn, you will meet no prouder nor distiguished a creature. If you are ever lucky to get close enough to one that is! Now what happens when the free and proud hair from a unicorn, meet the free and proud maple! A quite lovely and exquisite carefree wand. The wand will execute spells at the least command. This wand type has even been rumoured to perform easy spells that the wizard may have simply been THINKING about, so strong is this wand's need for a feeling of free will and the pride that comes with executing a spell. The owners of such wands are usually free-spirited (obviously) and clear of mind and thought. It is said the WAND picks the wizard, well this wand needs a clear mind to read and feel liberated in. Carefree wands for carefree people!
Personality
Phoebe is a spontaneous, free-spirited young woman. She is a romantic and a dreamer with a rich, poetic imagination. She'll try anything once, twice if she had a good time. Her motto is: "Don't complain, never explain." She trusts herself as well-- always has and always will. She has an electric vitality and her intuition is remarkable, radiant, and alive. She’s outgoing and friendly—the sort of person who will walk up to a perfect stranger and strike up a conversation. She’s not shy in the least and it has a tendency to make situations a bit awkward at times.
More adjectives to describe Phoebe? She is adventurous, curious, charming, funny, magnetic, proud and completely confident. She's also a smart-ass and very rebellious. To her credit, she can make the best out of any situation, no matter how bad or hopeless it may seem. Phoebe is a true original, one of a kind, and happy to stay that way. It's not that Phoebe dances to the beat of a different drummer, she's dancing to an entirely different band!
Unlike most upper class girls, with their refined sensibilities, Phoebe is more down to earth and easy going. She shops at thrift stores and is generally care-free and relaxed. She’s certainly not an outcast in the sense of Luna Lovegood—she doesn’t go out of her way to stand out or be different, but she doesn’t conform either. She’s got her own unique and personal sense of style and she adores it.
Most teenage girls at Hogwarts are in relationships, have relationships that are budding or… whatever. While Phoebe’s certainly not against this sort of thing, it’s not her. Far too flighty and impulsive to be tied down by an actual serious relationship, Phoebe has a tendency to avoid the subject or idea. This is due to her great fear of commitment. The idea of completely committing scares her, so she pretty much avoids anything that extends past a friendship (yes, this includes snogging) with most boys.
On a less pleasant side, she’s as stubborn as they come. Nothing can really make her change her mind, and once her opinion is set on a person or thing, it takes quite a bit to convince her otherwise. And while she’s friendly, kind, and a good friend? She remains a bit detached from just about everyone in order to keep from being hurt. Yes, this includes best friends. There’s that whole fear of commitment again. And, really, the fear is a bit on the irrational side, seeing as she's had no REAL bad luck when it comes to that sort of thing. Silly girl.
Physical Description
Phoebe stands at about 5’5” with a rather average build, since she really does nothing spectacular sports-wise. She has long, dark hair that falls past her shoulders and curls just a little. Her eyes are a dark shade of brown. Her nose is a bit larger and broader than ideal, but eh. She’s learned to live with it and love it. She has a broad, toothy grin and is rarely seen frowning.
History
Phoebe born into a rather wealthy family, always knowing the best in life, the perfect little brat. The only daughter o her parents (she does, however, have an older brother), she was doted upon while growing up. She changed, as she went through school, but not much. She still tends to get a bit upset when things don’t go the way she wants them to, but usually, she doesn’t whine or throw fits over it.
Phoebe’s mother, Helena Applegate, was born to a Muggle and a Pureblood, while her father, Demeterius Hamilton, heils from a long line of purebloods. Both are well-known families. Helena works in a clothing shop in Diagon Alley, while Demeterius works for the Dept. of International Magical Cooperation. Her brother David is someone who she’s extremely close to. She had quite the happy and privileged childhood.
Although, now/at school? She doesn’t really show it that much, settling for more ‘classic’ things that run a bit cheaper and stand out more from her schoolmates. She’s always been the friendly and social sort, though not always studious, and she’s a huge fan of Quidditch. Phoebe doesn’t hold any special positions in school, but she doesn’t fret over that sort of thing.
Her bloodline’s not completely pure, but it’s not the sort of topic she confirms or denies. Really, she just lets people think whatever. It’s easier than actually talking about it.
School
House
Gryffindor:
Gryffindors, the Warriors:
The Warriors, whose task was to protect land and lord, are generally brave, stubborn and fiery, as are Gryffindors. Hence, 'Gryffs rush in where others fear to tread'. Godric Gryffindor was clearly a Warrior.
Classes
Strengths
Magically, Phoebe's not strong with classes that require wandwork-- they take far too much patience and focus. She understands them, yes, but it's actually performing spells where she falls apart. She takes much better to classes that required reading and studying, surprisingly. It's not that she likes studying, but those classes intrigue her more than silly spells and potions.
She does best in Arithmancy and Ancient Runes (doesn't hurt that the Runes professor is quite good looking) and works the hardest at them. Eventually, she wants to find some sort of career within that field-- hopefully, something that will allow her to travel and see the world.
Her personality? Very, very outgoing and friendly. She'll walk right up to just about anyone and start to talk with them. She follows what she believes in her heart to be right or true and always, always speaks her mind. She's loyal and dedicated to a fault as well.
Phoebe's the type to always stand up for herself and those around here. She speaks her mind without hesitation. She's also quite social, knowing and associating with people from various houses. She’s quite the socialite and loves talking to just about everyone. She has a slight distrust of Slytherins, but not to the extent that most do. It’s a natural thing, what with her being a Gryffindor.
Weaknesses
...Charms. DADA. Transfiguration. Wandwork classes + Phoebe= a big, fat no. She doesn't care for them much (Charms being the only real exception to that), so really, she doesn't put much effort into them at all. She JUST passed the classes, and only with 'A's in Transfiguration and DADA in order to please her parents.
Her stubbornness works both for and against her-- sometimes? It flat out makes people ANGRY and annoyed that she won't change her mind. Plus? There's that whole brutal honesty thing-- she never DOESN'T mean what she says. She's a bit hotheaded and can lose her temper rather easily-- she's not one to be in denial or hide her emotions.
Though she holds people near and dear to her heart? She remains somewhat detached from them, mostly from fear of hurting/being hurt. She’ll get close, yes, but she’ll never fully let someone in. The idea terrifies her, so she backs away before that has a chance of happening.
Astrology
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18) the Water Bearer. Fixed, air, yang - planetary rulers: Saturn and Uranus. Keywords: "I KNOW"
Aquarius is the eleventh house of the Zodiac and rules the circulatory system, shins, and ankles. Positive traits include brilliance, innovation, individuality, openness, social consciousness, inventiveness, practical skill, and self assertion; negative traits are eccentricity, lack of attachment to people and the "real world," over-intellectualizing of the emotions, a crotchety temper, rigidity, intellectual arrogance, and stubbornness.
Gryffindor Aquarians
Gryffindor Aquarians are the social activists and loons of their House. They'll picket for House Elf Liberation. They'll wear their robes inside out because they spent all night reading, not pay attention to how they dressed the next day, and not care if their rumpled appearance is pointed out to them. They are intellectual rebels and will loudly defend their opinions, even if doing so makes enemies. They are apt to question authority. "Even Merlin was wrong, some of the time," they'll say, shrugging. While not particularly good at dealing with crisis situations (they stress out easily) they do tend to have enough foresight to see the situations coming, and prevent them from happening in the first place. They can be flamboyantly talented, but are less interested in using their talent to "make it big" than in using it to make a better life for themselves or other people. Because Gryffindor tends to be a flamboyant house, these oddballs (they are always odd) tend to stick out for being unusual.
