Bess Baker
Birthdate: March 19th, 1992
Bess is an energetic person -- she likes to be outside and active; one of her favorite hobbies is playing football. Her style of dress is plain; when at home, she always wears jeans and a t-shirt, and dislikes skirts and dresses. When she isn't out being active, she absorbs herself in tabloid magazines, both Muggle and magical alike, and believes nearly every word written in them. Because of this, she has some bizarre beliefs, and is given to believe in conspiracy theories, even of the wildest sort. Proper manners and etiquette are things she places little importance in, and she couldn't care less if someone is offended by her belching loudly in public, or her blowing her nose on her shirt sleeve. Though she's not the type to approach strangers, she loves to talk, rambling on to anyone who'll listen. She'll often say the first thing that pops into her head, even if it's not a nice thought; if she likes the person enough, however, she will apologize if she upsets them. Most of the time, she's easygoing and doesn't get mad all that much.
Strengths: Bess is the type of student who would rather be out doing something, rather than sitting in a class all day and taking notes. For that reason, she does well in Care of Magical Creatures, which is the only class she really excels in. She's above average in Muggle Studies, but that's because she has Muggle lineage and wanted to take a class that would be easy for her. She enjoys DADA, but sometimes struggles in it. She's enthusiastic about activities which she does well in, and dedicates herself to becoming better in them. If she's insulted, she doesn't let it get her down -- any personal attacks roll right off her shoulders, because she doesn't obsess over what people think of her. It takes a lot for her to get upset or angry, and even when she does, she bounces back relatively quickly. Bess is willing to talk to just anyone, and isn't all that judgmental, so she doesn't hold grudges unless the person has repeatedly wronged her. She can give honest opinions when they're asked for, and is open with her emotions -- when she's upset or frustrated, she doesn't have trouble talking about it.
Weaknesses: Bess is an average to below average student, standing out in only one class. Her forgetfulness works against her, as she'll sometimes forget the proper incantation, the proper wand movement, and so on. This is particularly bad in History of Magic, which requires a lot of date memorization -- she can't get them right for the life of her. In other classes, she has to fight and persist, just to get an A, though she'll get really frustrated in the process. She's absentminded and forgets things a lot -- she's horrible at remembering birthdays and other important dates, and has often been late to class because she forgot to bring the correct book with her. Bess is also easily misled and gullible; if a convincing enough argument (and really, she doesn't need much convincing) is presented to her, she'll believe it without hesitation and without ever questioning it. Oftentimes, she has a hard time taking things seriously -- she fails to realize the seriousness of a situation until it personally affects her, and even then, she doesn't always take it seriously. Bess is bad at reading others' feelings and motives, and needs people to spell out why they're upset.
Fears: Failing all her OWLs. Though she isn't bothered by what other people think of her, she does care about what her family thinks, and is afraid she'll be considered a disappointment to her parents.
History
Bess has had a pretty much normal home life, and is the youngest of four. Her parents, Bernard (a half-blood), and Wanda (a Muggleborn), met while at Hogwarts together, and married soon after they left school. They then found a house in a middle class neighborhood and, for a few years, they lived there together with their children. When Wanda's father passed away, her mother, Agnes, a muggle, came to live with the family. Bernard and Wanda are supportive and loving parents who work their hardest to provide for the family. The childrens' grandmother is a bit of a nag, but gets on with the family otherwise, though she never can remember the names of her grandchildren.
Significant Relationships
She gets along well with her older brother, Jebediah, and although she finds her other brother, Ben, to be a little uptight (yet fun to tease), she adores him as well and secretly looks up to him.
