All of her closest emotional attachments are with them and men confuse them. That isn’t to say she isn’t curious about men and sex with them and is more than happy to explore that aspect of herself but at the same time the forming of a relationship with them somewhat confuses her?

The best way to describe her is healthy. While she much prefers Muggle clothes for comfort she has grown used to wearing robes over the years and will often chuck on one over her jeans and a top on weekends/when she isn’t in her uniform. In the Muggle world she wears jeans a lot but has a decent set of skirts and dresses in bright colours. She mostly pulls her hair back in a ponytail though she will let it down on occasion, she rarely wears jewellery for that matter either finding it gets in the way of what she's doing - though she might wear earrings on occasion.

She was a happy baby and a happy child, she loved spending time outside though from a young age she had developed the ability to speak without thinking - from the moment she could speak for that matter. Still, Emmeline enjoyed her life and made a lot of friends though she had a habit of alienating people too. Still, she couldn't complain. That was until she was nine. Being as young as she was, her parents had decided not to tell her that her mother was sick so it came as a surprise when her mother passed away from what turned out to be cancer. For a while after that she turned angry and bitter, especially towards her father as she believed that he should have told her that her mother was sick. It was also then that she decided never to keep anything secret as it only brought pain to people. This incident also spelled a change for her when it came to her school work. For her first two years she had focused more on having fun and playing with her friends than her school work. With the death of her mother though she started to focus on her work, driven by something inside her that she refused to speak about to anyone. It was then that she had decided to become a doctor and find a cure for cancer. It took a year of this for her to start to show some of her old self at the pushing of her friends and family. She never did return to her old self completely though she didn't focus entirely on her work anymore. When she turned eleven, she received a massive surprise when she had a visit from Professor McGonagall who explained to her about magic and that she was in fact a witch. She didn't believe it at first but after the Professor transformed into a cat she found that she had to accept it. Going off to Hogwarts was both hard and exciting for her. She didn't want to leave her father and sister behind but she wanted to learn all about magic. She eventually settled into Hogwarts and Gryffindor, the house that she was sorted into. She found that she was a bit different to her house mates in that none of them really enjoyed studying but they like her had the habit of rushing into things without thinking. She made friends with the girls in her dorm and found that she loved magical classes though she was disappointed that they didn't get to learn any sort of healing. Her third/fourth year was her favourite though as her sister turned out to be a Witch and joined her at Hogwarts that year. Em took it upon herself to make sure Anna settled in and made friends as well as helping her understand the magical world and the school work she was learning. During her fifth year, in between studying for her OWLs she had her first boyfriend, a friend she had made during her first year, who she dated for close to half a year. The two of them soon decided they were better off as friends though. She did well in her OWLs and was grateful to be able to continue the subjects that meant she could become a Healer once she left Hogwarts, which after all of this time was still her dream. Her sixth year at Hogwarts passed by quickly and she dated a couple of people over the year but nothing too serious happened. Her seventh year is just coming to a close and she’s pretty sure she’s got the marks down to become a Healer while working on her Potions Mastery. If she has to choose she’ll chose the latter but she’s never been one to shrink down from a challenge. Beyond that, she wants to be able to do her bit for the war. She might have only been in the Magical world for seven years, a relatively short time compared to some people who grew up in it but she’s seen how quickly the world is declining and she hates it. She’s never been a fan of people judging others by their looks, especially given that in the non-magical world she was occasionally subjected to racist comments. THE FUTURE  Gains position at St Mungo’s as a Potions Mistress  Joins the Order of the Phoenix, working as a Healer for them  Survives the first war.  Re-joins the Order after the Tri-Wizard Tournament  Rescues Harry from the Dursley’s  Is killed by Death Eaters PLOT QUESTIONS How does your character imagine their future now? She’d like to continue her work for the Order, she’d certainly do her damn best to make sure the others survive and will try and make the most of the situation. She’s also going to keep working on that cure…. Also install anti-aparation and portkey wards around her apartment. How will your character react to their Maximum Memories? Honestly, I think she’d freak out at first. She’s very open minded but this… This is odd. Of course there’s a lot about magic that she still doesn’t know, it’s hard to learn everything in seven years so she might put it down to a quirk of magic unless she somehow learns differently. She’ll probably ignore them for the most part but it might influence her somewhat when she realises they are the future. Which characters are you most excited to plot with? Everyone!
