Name: Clara Alnilum Age: 17 | 7th year Gender: Female House / Occupation: Ravenclaw / Assistant Professor Residence: The Alnilum Manor in Tinworth, Cornwall. --- Appearance: Tall and stately, but with the look of someone who doesn’t eat quite enough food or get quite enough sunlight. Clara has white-blonde hair and flinty blue eyes. Clara wears her hair perfectly straight and usually loose, or up in a bun if she’s working. She favors solid colors in her dress, typically shades of blue or grey, and simple styles. Personality: Clara was a puzzle to the Sorting Hat, which sat on her head for nearly a minute as it vacillated between Slytherin and Ravenclaw. There was an enormous need to learn, but to what end--- for the sake of knowledge, or to use that knowledge to gain an advantage over others? At last, it seemed to decide the former was the right choice, and placed her in Ravenclaw. In many ways, Clara does embody a typical Ravenclaw: she is forever curious and trying to learn, and extremely hard on herself for forgetting something she knew or making the wrong judgement in a classroom setting. She loves to learn about all subjects, but has taken some interests that give a hint to what may have also made her at home in Slytherin. In particular, Clara has slowly become more and more fascinated in magical history, and what led to the downfall of all the great dark wizards of the ancient and not-so-ancient past. When it comes to other people, Clara is all business. Few people seem to hold her interest, and in many of her interactions, the young woman’s sense of superiority is palpable. This holds true doubly so for those outside her own house, for what could a Gryffindor or especially a Hufflepuff know that might be useful to her? There are a select few that have earned her respect and with that comes a fierce affection and loyalty. Conversely, those who have received her disapproval are not in for a good time. Clara has a long memory and a distinct cruel streak. History: Clara was born to pureblood parents in the coastal village of Tinworth, which is host to a small knot of old wizarding families. She grew up swimming and combing the beaches, getting private tutoring in magical theory and academics and occasionally deigning to play a secret game of Quidditch with the other wizarding children. However, her sights were always set on Hogwarts. Since arriving at the school and being sorted into Ravenclaw, Clara has been a model student in terms of grades if not social habits. In her 5th year she became a prefect and was not well-liked but was certainly effective. Now, in the start of her 7th year, she has abandoned prefecthood for something she considers even more advantageous: the position of Assistant Professor in Charms. |
