DANIELLA'S APPLICATION
Mandy is (at first glance) a shy girl, a wallflower of sorts. She tends to be reserved, even awkward or bookish, and doesn’t like to be the center of attention very often. Generally, she is kind, sunny and fond of people, she simply is more introverted than most. But when provoked, or when in a comfortable situation, she can be more talkative and social, and it’s then when she tends to let her quirky, witty flag fly. Like any good Ravenclaw, she loves knowledge, and has a special fondness for history, whether it be muggle or magical (regardless of Binns’ boring classes). She is most often seen carrying a book around with her, sometimes several, and she has eclectic tastes in music, fashion and muggle literature. Regardless of her quiet demeanor, Mandy is a very open person, she is not quick to judge and is willing to try new things (once she has looked at them from every possible angle first, though.) She has an idealism to her (this may be her greatest flaw or gift, depending on how you look at things) and tends to think that people are inherently good, which adds to her pleasant, good-natured (albeit shy) demeanor.
Mandy is fairly average in height and build (short-ish, thin-ish), she does not have a body that you would look twice at, really. Like everything else, her taste in clothes is odd, eclectic, she tends to go for vintage outfits when not sporting her school uniform. And even while in her uniform, some unique little pieces tend to poke their way through, such as an old necklace, gaudy brooch or some silver rings. Her hair is a bit past shoulder height and a wavy dark brown, usually worn messily for Mandy was never very good at doing hairstyles. She has bright blue eyes, a pale, clear complexion and doesn’t often wear much makeup, because every time she tries she just ends up looking like a clown.
Mandy’s history is an average one, she is a halfblood and comes from a decent, loving family. Her mother, Lucasta, is a witch and is a healer employed by St. Mungo’s, and her father, Harold, teaches English in a muggle school. Mandy has an older brother, Tristram, aged 25, who is working with Gringotts bank, several cats (Ophelia, Toulouse-Lautrec and Mittens) and during the summer holidays she lives with her parents in their modest flat in London. Like any young English witch, she received her letter to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at age 11, and was sorted into Ravenclaw when the Sorting hat was still centimetres from her head.
