Personality: Possessing a strong and somewhat overbearing personality, Nimuë's goal in life is to obtain a position which allows her to hold and wield power behind the scenes. To this end, she strives to use her time at Hogwarts to form connections that will serve her well later in life. Though she tends to be a strong and faithful friend, she's not above using her friendship to achieve her own goals, and her calculating personality can be off-putting at times. Still, she's more a leader than a follower, needing to be in control of the situation as much as possible.
Strengths: Both magical and personality: Nimuë excels at Charms, particularly jinxes, hexes, and curses - though her adeptness at these may be because of her short temper and unforgiving nature. Aside from Charms, Nimuë does slightly above-average work in Transfiguration and Potions, and average work in History of Magic and Herbology. Though a second year, she already has a basic understanding of the principles of Divination, having been taught them by her mother as a child. Outside of schoolwork, Nimuë has a shrewd and somewhat calculating personality, which can get her into trouble just as easily as it can get her out of it.
Weaknesses: Both magical and personality: Nimuë is woefully inadequate when it comes to Defense Against the Dark Arts... possibly because she would much rather attack than defend, though no one has ever bothered to confirm this. As previously stated, she tends to be shrewd and calculating, both of which are personality traits that can put other people off. She rarely loses her cool, though her brother Gillichu can easily manage to push her buttons every time.
Fears: A girl who tries hard to form connections that will serve her well later in life, Nimuë fears not being accepted by others, and for this reason goes out of her way much of the time to be on good terms with everyone she meets. Success is very important to Nimuë, she avoids people who might keep her from it (such as Kittu Mathur).
History: Nimuë grew up in Wales and as a child most of her playmates were her cousins (all older than her), though she did meet other wizarding children on occasion at her parents' social events. She gets on well with her family (her cousin Reginald Chandler in particular, partially because their life goals and world views are so similar), with the exception of her brother, whom few of the Chandlers really understand. In her first year, Nimuë started working on the fine old family tradition of world domination through business connections, and she continues to work on this now. Gillichu likes to say that she's a Mistress of Evil in training, but really - Nimuë just knows how to play the system.
Physical Description: At the least, provide base details of build, height, eye/hair colour, and complexion. Nimuë has pale blonde hair that falls to the middle of her back, no fringe, and green eyes. She'll be something of beauty when she's older, though she has yet to truly "bloom." She stands at 5" (an inch taller than her brother, this annoys him constantly) and still retains a little babyfat, though it's likely she'll lose this sometime before her third year.
Significant Relationships:
Family: Optional: very close to her mother (their personalities are quite similar) and her cousin, Reginald Chandler; doesn't get on well with her brother, Gillichu, probably because of their closeness in age and opposing personalities.
Friends: Optional: will at times join forces with the daedals against her brother and Kittu Mathur.
Other: Optional:
Special Considerations: Such as broom ownership, being an animagus, famous in some form, or a metamorphmagus. All are subject to mod approval. Like many other members of her family, Nimuë speaks fluent Welsh in addition to English.
COMMUNITY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS -- ONLY ANSWER THE SECTION APPLICABLE TO YOUR CHARACTER
Hogwarts:
Year: 2nd
House: Ravenclaw
Why are they in that house? Though she can be calculating and overbearing in her quest to "make connections," Nimuë enjoys the chase for knowledge and success more than the actual acquisition. Were she to obtain all her life goals, she would no doubt be disappointed and still be searching for something more.
Postion: (Subject to mod approval)
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE -- PLEASE ENSURE THAT THIS IS IN THIRD PERSON NARRATIVE POINT OF VIEW
When the door to entrance to their common room swung open and a the boy entered the room in a raucous manner, Nimuë started with surprise before turning a glare on the newcomer. "Can't you be quite, dog boy?" she asked viciously, her lips drawing back in an elegant sneer as her eyes flashed with ire. "Or are you still such a puppy that you can't even manage something as simple as opening a door without drawing the attention of the entire room?" Really, what awful thing had she done in a previous life to be saddled with this ingrate for a brother in this one?
MOD-ONLY QUESTIONS -- THESE WILL ONLY BE KNOWN TO THE MODS
Character Secrets:
Character Alliance: Nimuë's really too young to really think of such things, but when she does she tends to prescribes to her mother's philosophy that Voldemort is an upstart who doesn't know the first thing about Evil Overlording - namely, that it's much classier to perpetrate Dark Lordom through wit and manipulation than through death and destruction. Really.
