Inue wandered around the outside ledges of the castle, just enjoying the fresh air and the constantly night skies. She made a game out of using different steps every so many she took, hoping on one foot, just her toes, just her heels. Even to herself it was a little sad how easily amused she was.

It was funny, to her it felt like it had been so long since she left her home, and yet her stay here had barely begun. She paused her playing around to lean on one of the newly added railings to keep the new visitors from falling. "You know what's sad? I miss the snow back home yet winter just started there after I left..." She guessed that she had been there so long her body just expected to see those little white puffs falling from the sky around the same time every year. Even those who just lost their homes seemed so much calmer then. It was like everyone's worries just faded away.

The young woman sighed, at the moment wishing she could go home and see it, even if only once, but she let the idea go, knowing that even if there was a way to go she'd want to stay, but she wasn't going to back out, not this time. She had given up so many things in the past that this was finally the time she wouldn't give up, even if it drove her mad. Besides, how would she explain why she left to her family?

About Your Character
Basics

Full name: Mary Mallory MacDonald
Nicknames: Mare, Maccy, MMM, Triple M. I really don't like any of them, Mare I could tolerate though.
Ancestry: Half blood on my father's side.
Gender: Girl
Age: 15
Birthday: August 7th, 1960
Sorted into: Gryffindor! Anything else and I would have walked right back out the doors!
Who do you follow? Well I'm certainly not going to side with the Death Eaters, that's for sure!
Wand: 12 3/4, Apple wood Werewolf Hair. Unorthodox, I know, but wands of this type are rather common in the west.
Personal
Sexuality: Questioning, for now straight.
Likes:
~Canines
~CoMC
~Helping take care of the CoMC Creatures, especially the dangerous ones. 'cept no one is supposed to know I do that...
~Watching the, what do they call themselves.. Marauders'? pranks. Always fun to watch Slytherins get pranked at the hand of Gryffindors.
~Flying, I really wish there was an opening on the Qudditch team one day...
~Muggle caffeinated drinks. Cola and the likes? How people can live without it I don't understand.
~Snow, it's so fun to play in!
~Watching the common room fire. Not usually something I'd do, but it's relaxing sometimes.

Dislikes:
~Slytherins, yick...
~Pumpkin juice! People think I'm crazy, but I can't stand the stuff.
~The smell of coffee, yick.
~Annoying people.
~Days when it's really hot.
~Looking like a dork. I have a habit of messing up my words and what not sometimes, makes me feel like an idiot.
~Have I mentioned Slytherins? Just checking.

Strengths:
~In potions class, I can blow anything up, anything. I'm absolutely horrid at making the potions, but if I know what's in the cauldron, I know what will make it spontaneously bust into flames.
~I have a /really/ good sense of smell. What? My pops says it's the Werehair in my wand....

Weaknesses:
~I tend to have a short attention span, I mean .short.
~Don't make me mad, I'm not easy to get mad, but when I am, I'm violent.
~I'm stubborn, really stubborn.
~I can be lazy sometimes...

Goals:
~To get on the Qudditch team. I'll make it some how!
~To pass all my classes, Potions and Charms have been slipping this year...

Fears:
~Isolation, I need someone around, always. I flip out if I'm alone. I honestly panic if I'm alone. I start hearing and seeing things and everything, but don't tell anyone I said that! It has to be one of the stupidest fears ever!
~Thunder. I love the rain, but again, I panic at the sound of thunder. I can deal with lightning, just not thunder.

Tics, Quirks & Habits:
~I ramble when I'm nervous, a lot. It's hard for me to get nervous, but when I do, it takes a muzzle to get me to shut up.
~I'm allowed to poke you, hug you, bug you all I like, but it freaks me out when people do it to me, don't understand it.
~If I'm inside the castle, mainly the common room/dorms, I go barefoot. Not sure why, i just don't like shoes and socks...

Pet Peeves:
~People who chew with their mouths open, ugh, if I can hear you chewing I will smack you.
~Repeating myself. This I'm not sure why it bugs me, but it does.

Favorite sounds and smells: I love the sound of howling canines, I really don't know why. And I love the smell of meat, yes, it doesn't make sense to me either.
Have you ever met a boggart? What does it look like? No, never had the pleasure, and I'd kinda like to keep it that way...
Can you cast Patronus? What does it look like? What memory do you use? My dad's insisting I learn. I haven't really gotten a full one yet, but I got one close, it almost looked like a monkey. Yes, a monkey believe it or not. A little golden lion tamarin I think... For my memory I use my first day here. On the train I met Amy and I was sorted into Gryffindor, it really can't get any better than that.
What is the worst memory Dementors bring forward? That one day, New Year's when I was ten... My grandmother broke her wrist and my parents were fighting, I was never so scared in my life...
If you were to find the Mirror of Erised, what would you see? It's stupid, but I want to be the Care of Magical Creatures professor one day.
Tell me a couple secrets about yourself: Do I have to? Fine. Well one is the fact that I have asthma. Tell anyone and you'll regret it! I would have someone do something about it, but it just seems cowardly not to just deal with it...
I actually like Potions class. Where else do you get to blow stuff up!? But again, Tell.No.One.
I love to write, not some much of a secret as it is hard to believe.
Personality: Often times back in muggle school I was told I act like a puppy... Very curious as to know what's going on, I don't care who you are but I like it when you pay attention to me, in a good way, loyal to the point some consider it unhealthy sometimes, really like to goof around, and sometimes I can be serious, sometimes. Oh, what else do they say... I have a tendency to act like a dork, but I really can be smart though... I can be pretty arrogant at times when it comes to some things, like if I get better grade then you, I will not let it go for a few days.
Looks
Distinguishing Features: My hair, it's really dark brown and just past my behind. I have a pretty big scar from a gash on the back of my left leg too. Let's just say I wasn't very graceful when I was little...
Not-so-distinguishing features: Not really... I have really tiny hands though...
Appearance: Let's see... As I mentioned before I have rather long hair, dark brown, usually braided or just a ponytail... My eye are about the same color... I'm average in hight, about 5'6. I'll admit I'm rather scrawny, not like a nice kinda thin, but scrawny. This fact isn't intentional, my metabolism just sucks it all up like a black hole... I like baggy clothes. I tend to wear guys shirts when not in uniform and 'steal' some pants from someone when I am in uniform. What? I can't stand skirts!
Place of Birth: Ontario, Canada.
Immediate family: Muggle mother travel agent and Wizard father shop keeper. Yes, amazingly exciting, isn't it? I don't think their names are terribly important since one is a muggle and the other isn't from here...
Extended family: Not much really, our family is really isolated. I have my grandmother in Canada, but other than that we're really separated.
Other important people:My best buddy Amy in Ravenclaw.
Pets: A mutt puppy named Max that's at home. I'm dead set on having that changed. It's not right people can bring cats but not dogs!
History: My past isn't terribly exciting really. I was born August seventh, 1960 in Canada over in the West. At the time my parents were poor and living at my grandmother's house. (My mom's parents and disowned her for getting together with a Wizard...) Neither of them had jobs and they had just barely made it out of high school. And that's how it worked for some time. Eventually after a year or so my dad got a job bringing in enough money to send my mom to collage. And somewhere around this time was when I got the cut on my leg. Playing around with my muggle 'cousin' (Really just a kid my grandma adopted.) I fell out of a tree and hit a branch on the way down. really was not fun...

Only by the time I was five and in kindergarten did my parents actually start making money. Getting their own house and everything. A year after that was the wedding, yes, you heard me right, they weren't even hitched 'till I was six. Mom and dad were only a few years behind the usual, not a big deal, right? Right.

Anyways, all was pretty calm after that, until of course New Year's when I was ten. My grandmother feel and broke her wrist on the stairs. I don't even remember why, but after that my parents had their first and only huge argument. I wish I wouldn't but I'll always remember how scared I was then.

The waters calmed in no time after that and then my mom began to grow bored of home. My dad began looking places up with good schools both muggle and magic just in case since I had not displayed any sort of magic yet. Once we arrived at our new home though on my eleventh birthday the owl was right at our door before we were, proudly showing off my letter. As a congratulations within the next week Max was given to me as my first pet.

Simply put, on the train I met my first best friend Amy, who sadly was put into Ravenclaw, but happily I was sorted into Gryffindor.
Misc
Anything else you want to share? I'm a lefty! For some reason that seems to amaze people! And I'm a 'chickenitariean' I don't eat any other meats, but I do eat a lot of that.
