Maggie Downey

Maggie is a Muggleborn 5th Year Gryffindor, and loves classes that involve memorization and concentration, like History of Magic, Potions, Ancient Runes and Astronomy. And not so much classes that involve pratical magic, especially Charms, Transfiguration and DADA. Maggie is basically Gryffindor defined -- all emotion, no logic. She follows her heart in all matters, and it's gotten her into trouble before, including some heated arguments over very insignificant things.

Her favourite thing to do is fly -- especially because that's the only practical magic she can really do without trying. In fact, she's so good she's a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch Team (this year and last year). In the mornings you can usually find her out for a run on the Hogwarts Grounds, otherwise you'll probably find her wandering around the grounds or hallways. She's up for talking to just about anyone -- well, except elisit purebloods of course, (despite the fact that she's warmed to some of them, and just won't admit it to herself.)

History

Maggie was born to Robert Thomas Downey and Mary Margaret Downey, two muggles. Throughout her childhood, her parents had always been wary of Maggie's special gifts, and when they received her letter for Hogwarts, she almost wasn't allowed to go. Maggie's mother abandoned her family when Maggie was 9, leaving Mags with some serious abandonment issues and dislike for her Mum, especially since she only receives the occassional Christmas card. Maggie adores her younger brother, Thomas Patrick Downey, who is 8 years old. His support of Maggie and his interest in the wizarding world, plus their closeness after her Mum left has made these two inseperable siblings. When not at school, she lives with her father and younger brother in West Cork, Ireland. They moved there from Dublin when her Mum left. Maggie loves her home by the ocean, and often gets homesick.

Relationships

Jul Agate is Maggie's best friend. They can confide in eachother like mad. Maggie loves how flustered Jul gets around guys, and tries to help her through it, especially now that Jul is finally getting some attention! They've also helped eachother out with their schoolwork since they're essentially educational opposites. Have had several disagreements over the quality of Remy Cowan's personality, but are totally and completely inseperable. Really, truly, BFF!!

Tybalt Raynard is Maggie's boyfriend, and other best friend. They've known eachother since Maggie took Tybalt to the hospital wing and stayed with him after he fell off his broom. He's a bird, she's a bird. Their relationship is very comfortable and cuddly and flowery. Maggie feels totally at ease when she's around Ty, in spite of some of the drama surrounding them getting together.

Samantha Jones is Maggie's solace. She knows that Sam won't judge or criticize Maggie's small problems, and so they tend to go to eachother when they need help or advice. They sort of came together over Slytherin boys, but have remained friends ever since.

Remy Cowan... well, that's kind of complicated. They dated from towards the end of Maggie's 3rd Year until her 4th Year when she made it onto the Quidditch team, Remy had punched a teacher, and there was a rather public and intense breakup. She totally still adores Remy in spite of all his negative qualities, and gets jealous of his relationships with others. They fight with eachother frequently, mostly because they can't make out.

Lucas Longshore is Maggie's nemesis. She hates Lucas with a hilarious passion because of something involving Philip leaving. Which she totally should be over by now, but Lucas is so easy to hate.

Astrology

Maggie was born July 20th, so she's a Cancer/Leo Cusp.

Cancer is the fourth sign of the Zodiac; Leo is the fifth. Those born on the Cancer/Leo cusp have the vitality and ambition to be successful in their creative endeavors. Creativity is one of their keywords, and their caring nature ensures that the benefits of their imaginative powers help others. Cancer/Leos turn to nurturing the family group and take pride in their warm hospitality. They are emotional and traditional, interested in heredity and ancestors. Cancer/Leos can be prominent on stage and in film, as their natural ability to act and their flamboyance and love of attention make them naturals at fame.

The astrological symbol of Cancer is the Crab; for Leo, it's the Lion. Cancer/Leos go through life with a strong shell around them that is not easily broken. However, Cancer/Leos are the first to express emotion in any given situation -- the first to laugh and the first to tears. In this way, the Cancerian influence exemplifies the cardinal quality assigned to it. They also have a strong ability to see their projects through to the end. In this way, Leo exemplifies the fixed quality assigned to it. Cancer/Leos are good organizers and tend to be popular, even inspiring.

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and Leo is ruled by the Sun. In ancient times, the Moon, which represents fertility and instinct, was perceived as the Great Mother, responsible for nurturing all life. The Moon controls the tides and all water on Earth, and it has a strong effect on human emotions. Cancer and Cancer/Leos tend to be more sensitive to the movement of the Moon through the zodiac than are other signs, their moods changing with the Moon's passage. In ancient times, the Sun was believed to be the center of the Universe, the core of existence, the Father. The Sun generates warmth and keeps life on Earth moving. Leos and Cancer/Leos sometimes feel they are the center of the universe, and sometimes they are! They are gregarious and social, fun-loving and live life with enthusiasm. Generally domestic and peaceful, they have strong emotional drives and won't sit still when loved ones are threatened. The Sun and Moon, mother and father, day and night; Cancer/Leos are all of these things, and finding a way to express the entire continuum is both a challenge and a much-needed emotional release.

The element associated with Cancer is Water. Water Signs are emotional: they tend to respond to the world through emotion. The element associated with Leo is Fire. Fire Signs are physical and tend to respond to the world through action. Cancer/Leos are very intuitive and jump headfirst into life, without worrying whether their latest goal is realistic or practical. For them, everything about life is Big with a capital B, and if drama and courage is required to meet their goals, they have both in abundance. Their warm and caring nature is very sensitive to other people's harshness. Cancer/Leos are cheerful and self-assured, sometimes to the point of living in a fantasy world. They are always happy as long as someone is paying attention to them!

Cancer/Leos have a strong association with food. They are very imaginative and sensitive, making them excellent amateur chefs. Some go on to make a career out of cooking. Pleasure is important to those born on the Cancer/Leo cusp, and they like to spend money to feel good. Cancer/Leos tend to enjoy physical exercise, finding that sweat helps them counter the stress inherent in their emotional nature. They prefer to play in groups, rather than solo. They are too sociable to enjoy solitary running or weight lifting, and they much prefer team sports or group exercise.

In love relationships, Cancer/Leos top the charts in almost every area, from devotion to romance. The great strength of the Cancer/Leo is in their creativity and generosity with others. Sometimes these qualities combine, resulting in thoughtful gifts or unique solutions to problems. Cancer/Leos emotional orientation to life help them understand the difficulties their loved ones must work through.
