I knew I forgot something! In strengths, she gets through final due to stress-induced sugar-loaded all-nighters. By the time the final comes around,she's too wired and exhausted to do any serious damage to the plants. :)

Oh, you just need to edit that into the application itself :)

Terpsichorde "Lucky" Aisling McManus Lyne Straight off, we already have a character with the nickname of Lucky (and deemed so by a very outgoing young man) so it is unlikely that many would use that nickname in relation to Terpsichorde if another older student had it. Perhaps it could be a family name, but not one that general Hogwarts would call her. It's entirely up to you, however I am just providing information about other characters that we already have in game.

Blood: mixed (parents both mixed blood) Please use canon terms, and clarify by saying pureblood, half-blood, or Muggleborn. This also comes up later in the app, and it is an issue as we don't quite understand what kind of blood/heritage you are implying that Lucky has.

Wand: flexible 8.5'ash wand with leprechaun hair core Please use one of the three Ollivanders cores. These are dragon heartstring, phoenix feather, and unicorn hair.

Pet Name/Species: Yozak, owl Given her lack of affinity for animals, it may be best if she uses a Hogwarts owl instead so that ( ... )

Her family runs a budding but successful business in Muggle relations and acculturation. This sounds rather interesting, however we need a bit more information. Something that you may want to pay particular attention to is whether this service is needed in a wizarding world at war, where Muggles and magic are firmly separated. It is also likely that if such a service did exist, those involved would have been a target for Death Eaters, and may have been killed years ago.

Her father is Orin Lyna, age 48.
Her mother is Mara Lyne, nee Cox. She is 47.
Lucky's parents were married in 1985. Over the last year, Orin and Mara have started their Muggle/wizard acculturation business. Both mixed blood, they easily travel in between the different worlds. Orin and Lyne have different last names, so I think there's a typo there. The mixed blood thing is there again- could you please use canon terms as they make it easier to pinpoint what you mean. I've also pointed out above that her parents' career needs some elaboration ( ... )

Apparently my 1st comment was lost.

Ok then. . .here goes.

Name changed, grades lowered, pet gone, Seer history ditched, mixed blood now halfblood, and business elaborated upon.

As for the names sounding foreign, that's probably because I chose older names that really aren't used much anymore. But the only names that aren't pulled from either a place in Ireland or an Celtic name generator are Triptophan, Demetrius, and Gideon. I also changed the spelling of the last name to accommodate this sentiment.

As for the wand core, I'm pretty certain that leprechaun hair is canon. I'll look it up for you. Although she doesn't necessarily have an Olivander's wand.

Her divination and charms ability need explained quite a bit more. That they are games, or that she has intuition, are not enough for her to gain an O, or do well in the classes.

The Celts once occupied a large region of Europe, and even areas down near Turkey. So, even if a name was Celtic and the people running the generator were right... it doesn't mean it's Irish. It could be Galatian, which would place her family down in the near East. You would be better off going to a Irish baby names website and selecting names from there ( ... )

Sorry for the delay in this, thank you for all the edits you've done. We really appreciate it! There's just a few more things with the new app that we'd like to clarify ( ... )

Trip was named by her aunt Theanine, who in turn was named by the eccentric Nana Cara. I think it was revenge on Theanine's part and Nana Cara's impression that most wizards have odd names ( ... )

No, that's perfectly alright! Sorry, I must have misunderstood what you meant by 'seeing the future'. As long as you have no intention of bringing Seer abilities in then you're good to go. Sorry about that, it's just something we're concerned on keeping low numbers in :)

We actually meant A as a sign of being a weaker class. Obviously not a weakness, but a weaker class. For example, if she's good at wandwork perhaps she's not so good at theory classes such as Astronomy? Or that while being talented at Charms, Transfiguration is more difficult for her due to the science behind the subject.

Specifics would be what are her likes/dislikes? Does she have any hobbies? How does she get along with her siblings? Did something happen to make them as important to her as they are? Perhaps she lost a family member at a young age? Does she have any enemies? How does she feel about elitists? And of course, how the safe house thing affects her, if she does know about it. If she doesn't know about it, how would she feel? What if she found out? Would ( ... )

I brought the grades up that I lowered, as I didn't originally understand what you meant. I've talked about her other classes now.

I wrote a bit more about her hobbies, but she tends to go with the flow. I had to put in that she doesn't like turkey. :) Couldn't resist that. I haven't decided if she genuinely doesn't like it, or if it's a reaction to her name. Probably a bit of both.

Info on her siblings is in the History section. I only put in a bit more, concerning their current status. They're part of the family, so any statements about family can be applied to them.

I dealt with the safe house issue, as well.
