Appearance

Sara is constantly changing throughout her years of Hogwarts, not only personality-wise, but physical appearance as well. It changes periodically depending on a multitude of things: mostly her cousin's, Crystal, ideas. She is not exactly the most attractive, but she has been known to grab some unwanted attention by few said werewolves (or 'werewolf'). In fact, she could easily pass up as someone who had recently recovered from an illness, her skin complexion nearly just as pale for it. Her built certainly doesn't call for physical activity, very thin, but not necessarily bony. Despite being the tallest in the closest of her kin, she only stands at about 5'3", making her one of the shortest students attending Hogwarts.
The gryffindor's hair is probably the one thing that changes the most, ranging from raven to her current hair color, blonde. It stays a varying short, normally down to her shoulders with it being reasonably straight. Her bangs are always brushed to the sides of her face to show her bright sapphire-color eyes. Her face takes an oval-like shape like many of her family with a narrow long nose and thin lips. Her chin is firm with about a medium-sized forehead.
Her clothes are the only thing that doesn't constantly change, staying loose and almost tomboyish. She doesn't try to dress to impress very often, sometimes wearing heavier than what the weather calls for. There are very few, rare, times that Sara would dress formally, the most common one being the Hogwarts' masquerade, but even then, she tries to keep it simple. She often wears a sweatshirt outside of the classes of Hogwarts, claiming that she is always cold in the school.

Family

Sara comes from a reasonably large family, the notable tree in Incantatem being the MacNamaras'. Her relatives are a wide-range of people, from the Gryffindor prefect, Carson Greer to the school's headmistress, Keara Mckie. Ethnicity is also crazily connected in her blood though she is mostly British, or so she claims. Scottish, Greek, and Irish blood are also apparent in her bloodline along with many others. However, Sara isn't particularly proud of her family as she claims to be one of the few sane ones still living.
Relationships

• Una MacNamara (Aunt): Sara quite often sees her aunt, being the Herbology Professor and Head of Hufflepuff. While she talks to her, she often

discourages the constant pranks she pulls off.

• Crystal Lynning (Cousin on Father's): A daily prophet reporter that constantly rattle's her nerves, constantly trying to get her to try different things.

They act much like sisters, but there are many times where Sara wants nothing more than to slit her throat.

• Carson Greer (Distant Cousin on Mother's): Sara sees the prefect often, but that is mostly when she messes up. Yep, not a happy trip.
• Rose Tippet (Distant Cousin on Mother's): They're actually pretty close friends, having to try to survive the strange reunions together.
• Annabel Lynning (Adopted Cousin on Father's): If one said they were good friends, then they would probably be met with a punch in the face. Sara cannot stand her cousin, getting into frequent arguments with the girl.

Character Development

Personality

To the majority of the student body, Sara comes out much like a normal student attending the school, but even the most common of person can come out to be a little strange. She's no different. The sixth-year is generally reserved to her own thoughts, unsociable to many people in the duration of classes. When she does speak, it's normally very soft and depending on the person, comes out as almost stuttering. She has never once considered herself anti-social, and for a good reason as well. Like many of her family, Sara has her fair share of odd and often looked upon strangely habits that match her periodic (and very erractic) moodswings. One fairly usual for her is that she is constantly caught muttering things to herself, mostly mental notes or an angry rant that had just poured out from her mind. Another is the fact that her hands shake uncontrollably when she gets very nervous, seen often in the Potion's classroom.
Sara is not exactly the most athletic, nor studious of them all. She's incredibly clumsy, often tripping her own two feet in a very ungraceful fall. It has gotten past being embarassing, however. Her study habits are not healthy, often falling asleep onto the common room couch and waking up late for her classes the next morning. Even at arriving her classes, she still is tired a good major of the time, falling asleep mid-lecture. She seems to be able to pass her OWLs with average scores. In most of the gryffindor's beliefs, she often blames karma for many of the incidents that she may drag herself into, but it's rather unclear of what she may have done to think that way. She merely had grown up to be a pessimistic person, very hard on herself and not having a very good sense of self-identity. She's prone to second-guessing herself and becoming very indecisive, which only frustrates herself even more. Despite this, she's very loyal to her friends and family, willing to do just about everything for them.
While it's not something that the Gryffindor realizes herself, she fits well to the Gryffindor name. With the right motivation, she's willing to jump into a fight without so much as a second thought, win or lose. While courage is there, she doesn't exactly know how to use it unlike others. It had only been recently that she started to figure out what she had wanted to do with her life, deciding that she would be an Auror, something that had been previously impossible in her eyes. She looks for someone to help her prepare at any chance she could get.
Hobbies: Art, Photography, Writing, Reading Muggle Novels

History

On October 15, Sara was born in a muggle town in the outskirts of London to Lena and Gregory Lynning as their only child. Even then, Sara was a quiet child, speaking quite rarely, but she had been prone to trouble even at a young age, for not only her non-existant coordination, but large curiosity. The visits to the hospital were uncommon, miraculously, and usually with light injuries. She was homeschooled before Hogwarts which probably contributed to her little knowledge of muggles, often confused about the terms she would read in books. In its stead, she was taught the basics of wizardry, mostly of the courses that her father was abnormally skilled for. It's no surprise that the man had high hopes for the child, girl or boy, and it was constantly shown through the tutoring sessions they were in.
Her weaknesses were figured out rather quickly, much to the distress of her parents. She was only eight when her father nearly killed her in a practice duel, dealing a spell much in instinct than anything else for the auror. While the managed to explain their way through the hospital, her hands would periodically shake ever since, most notably when she was anxious. The tutoring continued since, but by her mother's encouragement, her father had let up with the practice duels on the child. No doubt there were other incidents, but they were less harmful than her near death, mostly just bruises to a few stitches.
It wasn't much of a surprise when the letter came at 11, nor the fact that she was placed into Gryffindor, the house where her father had previously stood. It was more of confusion on her side, but it was quickly accepted as she passed through her years of Hogwarts. Despite the tutoring of her father, she still struggles through Hogwarts, but she does well for herself. While she is not the greatest of scholars there, she has been fairly happy through her years attending.

Little Facts

• Sara is a libra in the western astrological chart, proving a sort of irony as they're complete opposites.
• She has a strange fear of dogs. She can't stay still when one is in the room. However, this fear doesn't seem to be effective with her regards towards werewolves.
• Despite the fact that she constantly destroys things in the classroom, her favorite teacher is Professor Beckett Rhys, merely explaining that he's, "forgiving."
• She has a pair of reading glasses that she only uses when she studies and writes.

Creator's Comments

Sara is my first character and may very well be my absolute favorite. She is the one character that I seem to relate the most towards, even as there is an aspect I share in all of my characters. It's the personality that her and I share at school is what makes me get in her mindset very quickly. I'm always the quiet one that hangs in the background.
As this year comes, I find that this year will most likely be the one of resolutions with her new family and name. Depending on others' actions, however, it could be the year to open up even more into her mind. My plans for the gryffindor are likely to be the wildest for all of my characters. Once again, I send my regards to Ai and Una, and now the addition of Corinne with plot development.
