Name: Claire D'Loure-Merrickson
Wanted Position: 6th year Ravenclaw student
Abilities: I don't particularly want a special ability, to be honest. I just want to start off as a regular student.
History: Claire is just a regular witch. Her mother, Rosalie D'Loure, was 18 when she moved from France to England to go to school. Rose met James Merrickson whilst studying in Leeds, England. They fell in love, and soon after she graduated, they were married.
Claire's mother a is a muggle who now works as a Magistrate, and her father is a wizard. She grew up knowing magic but also knowing the muggle world just as well. Claire attended primary school until she received her Hogwarts letter when she turned 11. They had been expecting it, of course, given her heritage and the obvious signs that came along with it.
Claire was happy to be sorted into Ravenclaw, where she knew from her father's descriptions of the four houses that she'd fit in the best. Her favourite subjects are transfiguration, charms, and potions, but she doesn't overtly object to any of her classes, really.
Physical Description: Claire has long, dark brown hair that slightly curls in the back. She has warm, brown eyes, and smiles frequently. She's an optimist, or tries very hard to be. Claire isn't incredibly athletic or thin. She's a healthy weight for her height, which is somewhat tall for her 16 years. She's a bit of a bookworm, so her physical description wouldn't be complete without a book in her hand, be it a textbook or a muggle fiction book her Mum has sent her from home.
Other: There is truly nothing remarkable about Claire. I want her to be so average because the thing I've noticed about nearly every character in the past three sites we've had is that nobody is average. Everyone has some sort of extra power, loads of extra powers, loads of things that make them unique and powerful, sometimes to the point of boredom. I remember how I played my character by the same name. All kinds of special powers, a long past...it gets old to play, and even harder to keep up with. In all reality, or in Harry Potter reality, as it were, most students wouldn't have some extraordinary power. They'd look upon those who did and envy them, sure, but they wouldn't all possess them. That's what makes powers special: the fact that you just get lucky by getting on. Every site needs a few of those plain Janes, the ones who don't read minds or turn into an animal at will. That's what I want my character to be. That's the history I want her to have. Like most of the characters in the Harry Potter books.
Where Did You Find Us?: I've been a member of every hmsowaw site since the original one, always with the same character. This is the first time I've changed her around loads.
