Name: Juniper Primrose
Wanted Position: Astronomy Professor (Head of Ravenclaw *(see other))
Abilities: Anamagus form is a black and white cat with double paws and green eyes. Apparation licence
History:
Growing up in Salem Mass was any witches dream. There where old myths and plenty of records kept from generation to generation. Many a witch or wizard came to visit each year and Juniper enjoyed hearing the stories each told her. She loved hearing the mythical beasts, the raging wars, and even the type of schools that where all around the world.
While Salem was not just an attraction for folk of magical linage muggles enjoyed it too. It was the best of both worlds as a resident you did not have to hid being a witch, and muggles thought it gave the town character, and even thought it was all part of a show. That is what most wonderful about the town. Everyone knew, yet no one really did.
School was wonderful as she excelled very fast in her education even jumping two years. She skipped her second year of school and her last year. Those two years extra years before she would turn seventeen she expanded her knowledge taking muggle courses, and learning more and more each and every day. Her fascination was with the stars, because both magical folk and non-magical folk had many of the same ideals and beliefs.
At her seventeenth birthday she bid farewell to her hometown, parents and two siblings and ventured to travel to the wonderful places others had spoke about. Her flying carpet to take her where her heart wanted. She researched each destination before arriving, that way she would not be completely lost, and she was less likely to break rules.
When she arrived in London she went straight to the ministry to check in her magical carpet. Since they where not allowed there, and she was not a resident they would return it upon her departure, with no retribution. Her first destination was the library. Here she read up not only one muggle history but magical as well.
The stories of Voldemort and Harry Potter almost seemed impossible to her, if she herself had not heard them before, many times before. After all that she visited the Quibber headquarters, where she spoke to the editor and her fascination for the magazine landed her a job offering. She took it with great pleasure.
With a job she found herself wanting to stay here for along time, maybe forever so she began to look for somewhere to live, but on her small salary she had little options. Her savings where enough to get her through three more weeks, so she wrote home, and sent her carpet back as well explaining her situation. Her family was so proud they sent her some money to get a small loft.
She visited the famous school after getting settled in and fell in love with it. After taking some extra lessons she applied for the position of Astronomy professor. At 19 she was granted it on a trial basis. Now 22 she is considered a little weird by some students, and some believe she is brilliant. She has advanced to be Head of her house and could not be any happier with the honor. Whatever the case maybe, she enjoys it each day.
Physical Description:
Juniper has very vibrant green eyes that sometimes cause people to stare, but she does not mind. Her long dark brown hair is sometimes lighter and sometimes darker depending on the light. It has a light curl to it, and she loves to let it dance freely past her shoulders. She is average height for a girl, at five, five she stands well enough. She is a little thin, but she is not starving either at 120 lbs. (Hilary Duff)
Other: I also have Janet, so If possible I would like to be able to have one or the other. Quidditch captain or head of house if that is okay. What ever works if neither I will be okay with that too. My hope for Juniper is that she would be Headmistress (at some point). So I will let you make your decisions however they may be.
Thanks for the new site! and the layout is really sharp.
