Orientation: Straight
Blood Status: Half Blood
Faction: Unity, Leader
Ethnicity: Irish
Citizenship: England Citizen

Wand: Honey Oak with Phoenix Feather core

Relationships

Spouse: No significant other.

Father: She calls him ‘Da’. Mentally damaged, housed at St. Mungo’s
Mother: Her ‘Ma’ is dead, died of a heart attack 13 years ago

Siblings: Three sisters and two brothers, only two sisters survived the war. They are Tawnee MacDermott, age 19, and Cadi MacDermott, age 35.


Appearance

Face: Nessa has a narrow face with a somewhat pale complexion covered in freckles that make her look childish and naïve. She has long, thick lashes surrounding vivid green eyes, along with thin red brows hovering uncertainly above. Her lips are a soft pink, lower lip quite pouty while her upper lip is a bit thin.
Hair: Cut short so as to rest above her shoulders, Nessa’s locks are a curly Irish-red. Natural in color and behavior, her plain beauty adds to her sense of innocence and slight naivety.
Figure: She has always been thin and somewhat fit, but with the clashing increasing, Nessa has lost more weight at an unhealthy rate. Some days her ribs seem to poke out at her in anger that she doesn’t eat or sleep enough. She is mostly average as far as her build though. With small hips and B-cup breasts, she stands 5’5 with confidence.
Attire: Usually she wears jeans and professional style button ups. On spring days when the weather is perfect, she wears flowing sundresses and lets herself be the innocent child she longs to return to.


Personality

Nessa is a natural leader who desires lack of conflict, which she understands will require a lot of conflict to achieve. She is innocent to some extent, but she is also very strong willed. She is brave, trusting, responsible, and optimistic, at least when others can see her.

Inside, the Irish woman deals with severe depression and fear. She knows this is going to be a long, hard fight, and she has come to accept the losses she will inevitably feel. She cannot stop herself from feeling for others, and this could be her major flaw.

Best Qualities: Strong willed, responsible, optimistic
Worst Qualities: internally emotional, private, overly trusting, keeps regrets
Likes: strawberries, warm spring days, remembering
Dislikes: rain, conflict, remembering
Pet Peeves: biting her nails, loud noises, people making fun of her accent

Goals

Career: She would like to rise to a higher status than just Unity Leader. (MoM perhaps?)
Love: Right now she cannot even think about love, as she is too concerned with the fighting and her responsibilities.
Family: Keep what’s left together, hopefully some day add to it.
Friendship: Somehow patch the rift between her and Kila.

Fears and Weaknesses

-Da’s illness
-Death
-Cadi’s mental state
-Easily trusting
-Incapable of giving up

History

Family History

A typically large Irish family, the MacDermotts have always been closely knit and supportive of each other. Six children and two parents lived in the house since the kids were young, and all shared a passion for the acceptance of muggles among the magical folk. Her Ma was a muggle herself, so they all fought hard against the movement of Voldemort against the nonmagical beings.

During the war of 1997, the two eldest sisters and the only boys fought against the ‘dark lord’, as did their Da. Nessa, then age 15, and Tawnee, 7, stayed at home with their Ma, while the others went off to die. Both the boys and one sister were murdered in the war, and their Da was cursed beyond repair.

Her Ma received the news from a blood-splattered Cadi as soon as she returned, and she was struck with such grief and shock that her heart stopped. Their Da was already cursed, and the added fact that half his family had died sent him over the edge. He remains in St. Mungo’s, completely insane.

Individual History

When Nessa went to school, she traveled from Ireland to Hogwarts, as her siblings had before her. She was sorted easily into Gryffindor, and fit in quite well. She excelled in most of her classes, find trouble in Defense Against the Dark Arts while her friend, Kila, excelled greatly. This is what first brought the two together, as Nessa approached the girl for help in their third year at the school. The two were quick friends.

The girl went through her first four years with ease, before Voldemort rose fully and her family was torn viciously apart. Once the war happened and ended, Nessa felt a responsibility budding within her. She would restore order to the world she lived in, as the leader in her told her to do.

It seemed Kila had a different sense of how their world should be, and the two slowly grew apart. Both wanted to lead, and both saw the changes as the happened. They graduated two years after the war, and soon were in rather powerful positions in a quickly changing world.

Nessa took charge of her group, now referred to as ‘Unity’, while Kila led ‘The Divide’, and ever since the groups have been at a somewhat silent state of war together. Nessa has been dealing with her imperfect life, while trying to make life as a whole perfect for her people.

She’s constantly left with a growing fear that the war will never really end, and the bridges will never be mended.

Other

Nessa owns two Siamese cats named Erin (girl) and Reilly (boy). They stay in her office with her.
