Lisa Michelle Turpin
Character Biography

Character's Name: Lisa Michelle Turpin
Age: 26
Birthdate: January 19, 1980
Family background: Lisa was born in January of 1980 to Muggle parents. Her father, Mark, is a barrister and her mother, Rachel, teaches Year 10 students at the local secondary school. She has two younger siblings, fraternal twins named Ross and Kelly who are eighteen years old (they were the family "accidents") and an older sister named Emily who is thirty. Lisa is the only known witch on either side of her family. 
House in School: Ravenclaw 
Bloodline (and does it matter?): Muggleborn and very happy about it.
Political Views: Lisa despises politics and tries to avoid talking about it. In her experience, there's always someone who is getting the short end of the stick and they're usually bitter about it.



Appearance 
Visual Representation: (attach pictures please) Blake Lively
Description: Lisa is about five foot, eleven inches with long blonde hair. She has a rather large nose, which she hates but is too scared to magically fix it. She also has huge feet, a fact which hinders her when she goes shoe shopping. She's not exactly muscular, but she does have a rather nice figure from attempting to play football every summer with her local club.



Psychology and Personality 
Sexuality: Lisa likes men... in particular, one man. 
Habits\Quirks: Lisa is a klutz. Always has been, always will be. More specifically, her klutzy moments tend to occur when she is dressed up for special occasions. Remember the girl who fell down the stairs at the Yule Ball in fourth year? Yeah, that was her. 
Likes\Dislikes: She loves playing her piano, jazz music, cocktails, designer shoes and handbags (even if she can't currently afford them), football, Newcastle United, traveling, rainstorms and reading. She dislikes liars, cheaters, Sunderland A.F.C., people who flaunt their money, gin and tonics, trendy pop singers, and dumb blonde jokes.



Lifestyle
Occupation: Part-time bartender at both The Three Broomsticks and Incubus Dreams
Financial Status: Scraping by…barely
Residence: Heather Cottage in North Yorkshire



History from student days at Hogwarts to the present time:

Growing up, Lisa's life dream was to be a world-famous musician. She started playing the piano at age five and immediately, it was evident that she was exceptionally talented. Her parents had every intention of saving up and sending her to a school for the performing arts, but when her Hogwarts letter came, they decided to do what was best for her and let her be with others like herself. She was sorted into Ravenclaw where she made many friends due both to her outgoing nature and sweet disposition. When the Ministry fell, Lisa decided not to return to Hogwarts for her seventh year (a fact that she still has yet to share with her parents), so she spent the entire school year hiding in her sister Emily's flat in Cambridge. She was later able to finish her schooling after the Final Battle was over.

After she finished Hogwarts, she moved back in with her parents for a little while. That lasted for a year before they finally said "Enough!" With a little financial help from her grandparents, Lisa purchased Heather Cottage (which is one of her favorite places on earth) and moved there when she was nineteen. She flitted around from odd job to odd job before discovering she had a knack for bartending. She currently works two jobs at The Three Broomsticks and Incubus Dreams because she needs the extra income. She's also recently encountered a musical setback, after she was rejected from the Royal College of Music back in January. Her self-esteem took a severe hit, and she hasn't found the inspiration to play or sing since.
