BIRTHDATE: December 5th
NATIONALITY/HERITAGE: American/British
HOMETOWN: (I’m assuming this is where she was born) Texas, U.S.A.
YEAR/OCCUPATION: 5th
WAND: Birch, 9 inches, phoenix feather

HAIR STYLE: Lydia puts very little effort into her hair, simply washing and brushing it will do. Around the end it curls naturally toward her face.
EYE COLOR: A deep icy blue, darkening around the edges.
BODY BUILD: 5’3”, 110lbs. She is a little on the pale side, and no amount of sun seems to make her skin darken. While she has some muscle she doesn’t have a grossly large amount.

WEAKNESSES:
BOGGART: Her mother, alive and screaming.
DEMENTOR: When her father died.
AMORTENTIA: Trees, puppies and roses.
SECRETS:
SIGNIFICANT MEMORIES: Her father’s death, when her grandmother took her away, coming to Hogwarts.
QUIRKS AND HABITS: When she gets nervous or bored she twirls her hair around her finger. When excited she tends to bounce up and down or fidget. She always writes in her journal before going to sleep. Can’t sleep unless her cat is in her bed with her.
HOBBIES AND PASTIMES: Writing, pulling pranks, people watching, trying to figure out a pattern in the staircases movements.
PERSONALITY ESSAY: Though she seems a bit distant at first, that is only because most of her time is spent imagining a better world, with no death eaters, wars or annoying pretty boys. When she is actually aware of what’s going on, she can be quite rude and sarcastic. Thankfully, she rarely means anything she says, and her friends manage to ignore the sarcasm. When in a good mood she is rather sweet, but those rarely happen in public. Her friends are her life, and if one of them is upset, she is there for them. On the other hand, she rarely goes to anyone for help. Everyone else has their own problems, so why burden them with hers too?
When she is alone (or at least thinks she is) she changes quite a lot. Writing in her journal, she has the bad habit of thinking out loud. Anyone who walked in then would find out that she is a romantic deep down, and wants nothing more than love. Never having seen a successful relationship in her life makes that nothing more than a dream for her, though. While tough and cold in public, in private she is nothing more than your average giggly teenage girl. Some friends may have seen this side of her, but mostly during sleepovers and gossip sessions.

PETS: Bella Notte, a black cat, two years old. Goes everywhere except classes with Lydia. Also called Boo.
OTHER IMPORTANT RELATIVES: Anna Rose, grandmother – took Lydia in at age 11 when she received her Hogwarts letter. Died recently at age 57, believed to be murdered by Death Eaters for helping move muggleborns from the country. Very wealthy, left everything to Lydia in her will.
HISTORY ESSAY: Lydia was born to a British wizard and an American squib. Her mother, Nancy Bennett, had been disowned by her parents as soon as they learned she had no magical powers and she was horribly bitter for it, hating all most every source of magic. As fate would have it, she met and fell in love with a wizard before she knew what he was while he was visiting the states on vacation.
Her father, Johnny Rose, had no feelings for this woman other than friendship. Nancy managed to bribe a local sales witch into selling her some love potions. It wasn't long before the two were happily married and expecting a child, and Johnny had been "convinced" to never use magic again.
Lydia showed magical promise from birth, making things happen without even trying. Her mother tried to suppress this, telling her that magic was a horrible evil thing and she was never to use it. Her father, feeling no love for this child at all, didn't try to stop this.
It was when she was two that her parents got into an argument. Her mother hadn't realized that he hadn’t been drinking the love potion she was slipping into his drink. By this time it was too late. Her father threatened to take the child and leave, and in a burst of magic never used before or after, her mother killed her father in front of her.
Of course, this only reinforced the fact that magic was horrible in Lydia's mind. Her mother continued to raise her, threatening to beat the magic out of her every time she accidentally used it. Seeking solace in letters delivered to her by owl from her father's mother, Anna, Lydia learned the truth about her powers around the time that she was 10. Her grandmother took her away to Britain when she got her Hogwarts letter, and she stayed with her during the summers.
She remembers her first day like it was yesterday. Her grandmother had taken her shopping and made sure she had whatever she would need, but she was still a nervous wreck. She was scared everyone would make fun of her for talking differently. As it turned out, now one was really that bad. A few were jerks, but on the whole, most were rather nice.
Her sorting wasn't too scary. She had been warned what to expect, though her grandmother had hinted greatly that she wanted her in Gryffindor (her old house). As the hat touched her head, the only thought she could summon was that she didn't want to be in Slytherin. That was where her mother's whole family had been, and she wanted nothing to do with them.
Since her arrival at Hogwarts things haven’t been too eventful. She made a few good friends and found out she is good at charms. Summers are painfully boring, as her grandmother has a huge house with only them two and a few house elves in it. All of her family believes that she is not related to them, a lie encouraged by her grandmother.
Her grandmother did recently die, leaving her all alone with a large angry family that hated the idea of their matriarch leaving everything she owned to some street rat. She didn’t bother with telling them the truth, as it didn’t seem that important anymore.

Personality
LIKES:
- Writing – while she finds it hard to talk to people, writing gives her a vent for whatever she is feeling. Also, a book will never tell your secrets.
- Being with friends – while the people she likes enough to really consider them friends are few and far between, the ones that are tend to be very close to her.
- Bubble baths – they are just so relaxing!
- Small parties – meeting new people isn’t the worst thing in the world. Besides, the more you know, the more likely you are to figure out who your enemies are.
- Cats – as a child she had a black cat that lived outside her room. She snuck it some of her food and it, in turn, listened to whatever she had to say. Now she has a pet black cat that stays in the dorm with her.
- Puppies – they are so cute and cuddly!
- Romeo & Juliet - she is pratically obsessed with this book. She has several different versions of it and is almost always reading one of them.
DISLIKES:
- Schoolwork – there are so many better things she could be doing with her days. Like dancing with the Giant Squid.
- Crowds – having never been around large groups of people, she never did adjust to it well. She normally times her meals for when the least people will be in the Great Hall and spends her breaks where few people are.
- “Pretty boys” – really, who could like the guys who spend five hours in front of the mirror and still aren’t done their hair?
- Small spaces – she spent most of her childhood closed in a small bedroom. Now that she can avoid them, she does.
- Dressing up – takes way too much time for her, and dresses and heels are uncomfortable. Besides, she sees no point in it.
- Staying still – Lydia is a bundle of energy. Not being up and moving is practically torture for her.
STRENGTHS:
- Bravery – a normal amount of thing scare her, but she has no problem seeing past those if one of her friends need her. She would gladly face off with anyone from the Giant Squid to a Death Eater to protect them.
- Easily sees both sides of most issues – she can often switch her point of view to the other person’s side without much effort. Though, if she really believes something, there is no way to sway her.
- Strong (mentally) – insulting her has very little effect, and it takes a lot to rattle her.
WEAKNESSES:
- Self-esteem – while outside it sometimes seems like she thinks a lot of herself, she really has a very low view of herself.
- Temper – it may take a lot to get her angry, but once you do she all but literally explodes. Depending on what you did/said, you may get screamed at or a curse to the face.
- Stubborn – once she gets it into her mind to do something you’ll have a hard time convincing her not to. Of course, she tends to over think things to start with, so she doesn’t do much without the proper research.
BOGGART: Her mother, alive and screaming.
DEMENTOR: When her father died.
AMORTENTIA: Trees, puppies and roses.
SECRETS:
- No one has been told about her parents; they all think her grandmother raised her.
- Her grandmother died just after the start of her fifth year and Lydia took a week off to attend to the funeral and family matters. Everyone was told she was very sick and she still has yet to admit that this death happened.
- No one in her family knows she is related to them. They were all told by her grandmother that she had taken the child in as a favor.
- She is scared to death that her mother will find out where she is and come for her.
SIGNIFICANT MEMORIES: Her father’s death, when her grandmother took her away, coming to Hogwarts.
QUIRKS AND HABITS: When she gets nervous or bored she twirls her hair around her finger. When excited she tends to bounce up and down or fidget. She always writes in her journal before going to sleep. Can’t sleep unless her cat is in her bed with her.
