In-Game Character Information
Name: Momo Hinamori.
Series: BLEACH.
Age: 15.
Personality:
Momo is a sweetheart-- and most people would agree. At first glance, she looks rather plain and ordinary, but it's her upbeat and easygoing attitude that attracts people and makes it easy for her to make friends. She's caring and fiercely-loyal, willing to lend a hand to anyone who might ask for it. While she enjoys her friends' company and being in all sorts of social situations, she also appreciates some down time by herself. She usually spends this by drawing or curling up with a good book.
Despite her peaceful and sweet character, Momo is most definitely not a pushover. When her values and morals are challenged, she sheds her non-confrontational nature and does not hesitate to speak up and defend her views. In fact, she can be very stubborn and rash when she's upset.
Momo is still very much a kid-at-heart. She is affectionate towards her friends and loved ones, and she usually shows this through hugs and encouraging words (although she does enjoy teasing them, too). Unfortunately, she trusts and idolizes people too quickly, two traits which can be used against her.
All in all, Momo approaches things and situations (and even other people) with cheerfulness and enthusiasm. At her worst, she becomes too trusting and vulnerable, with her naivete and emotions getting the better of her judgment. At her best, she faces the world and whatever obstacles it may bring with wide eyes, a bright smile and a curious mind.
Background:
Momo's origins are largely unknown. The story was that her mother and father had perished in a tragic car accident. Three-year-old Momo had miraculously survived; however, she was left far away from wherever her home was, and her only form of identification was a pink handkerchief found in her pocket, embroidered with her name in curly white script. She was put up for adoption, but it wasn't long before she was taken in by an elderly Muggle woman. It is likely that Momo is of Japanese origin-- her name is the Japanese word for "peach" (coincidentally, peaches are one of her favorite food).
Ever since she was little, the only family she has come to know was her adoptive grandmother. The two of them lived in one of the less urban towns in England. Her grandmother loved her as if she were her own. In return, Momo would help her grandmother in whatever way she can around the house-- it was the least she could do for the kind-hearted woman who had so generously opened her home and heart to the orphan. Because of this, she had grown accustomed to work, and learned to balance her time for schoolwork and chores.
Life was relatively normal for Momo, until her magical abilities started manifesting when she was around eight years old. It started with the flames in the fireplace suddenly bursting out of control when she was extremely happy or angry. Gradually, she found that she could make her toys move, change the colors of her ribbons, make fire burn stronger or weaker-- that sort of thing. One day when Momo was eleven, a man dressed in an odd cloak and pointy hat told her that she was a Muggle-born witch. Her grandmother received quite a shock, but was accepting and supportive of her all the same. Momo distinctly remembers her first time in Diagon Alley-- it was a sight to behold and she was itching to explore and take in as much as she can.
Momo is currently in her fifth year at Hogwarts. She enjoys going to class since it feeds her curious mind about the Wizarding World, and she does well in most of them, especially Charms. She usually spends breaks at her grandmother's. All in all, she's been having a pretty good time.
Blood: Muggle-born.
Preferred House: Hufflepuff.
Why you think they belong in this house? Momo embodies the Hufflepuff traits-- she has a strong sense of right and wrong, and is loyal and dedicated, almost to a fault. In canon, while she is naturally-skilled in kido or "demon magic", it was noted that she worked her way up the ranks through much hard work and determination. She also has a bit of Gryffindor in her-- she can be headstrong and impulsive to the point of recklessness in the pursuit of what she believes is right. Plus, she won't hesitate to cast a well-placed hex on you if you anger her.
School Year: 5th.
Quidditch Position: N/A.
Would you like the character to possibly get a higher position? If there's a vacancy, she'll try her best to step up and take charge. ^^
Roleplay Samples
Journal Sample: (first person)
I received another care package from my grandmother at breakfast this morning. She sent me more lemon drops and Bertie Botts' Every Flavor Beans (she made sure there were an extra number of peach-flavored beans, which are my favorite). Granny spoils me, seriously! ♥
In other news, I was rummaging around my trunk last night, and guess what? I found my journal, buried underneath rolls of parchment that I had sketched on ages ago. Well, at least my watercolours hadn't spilled on it! So... errr... how does the journal work exactly?
Roleplay Sample: (third person)
"Class, today we shall be practicing the Burning Curse. Please form a line and make your way here to the back of the classroom."
Momo fell in line and awaited her turn. There was a look of determination and excitement on her face; in her past four years at Hogwarts, she had discovered that she had an affinity for fire-type magic. She observed her other classmates conjure a fireball and try to hit the target their professor had placed on the far side of the room. Finally, her turn had come. She planted both feet on the stone floor of the room, wand arm at the ready.
"Aduro Magnus!"
Fire burst from the tip of her wand, growing until it became a large burning sphere that soared across the room. A huge smile made its way onto Momo's face, as bright as the fireball that hit the target squarely at the center.
