'''Ravenclaw's Ravenclaw''' ''Hekate is astoundingly clever. Her mind could best be described as 'twisty', and has been. Where some people think two or three or four moves ahead, she doesn't worry much about the individual moves - she thinks in terms of the forks in the road ahead. And instead of looking at those forks and seeing 'go right' or 'go left', she's just as likely to dig a hole or climb a tree.''

:'''Compel:''' Sometimes, one can be '''too''' clever. Compel when cleverness bites her in the arse.

This aspect sums up your character in a short, punchy phrase, such as ''The Boy Who Lived'', ''Smartest Girl In The Room'' or ''Working Class Wizard''.

'''Rowena's Raven''' ''Hekate has gained a reputation amongst the Ravenclaw House. Not just for cleverness, but for memory. As with all reputation, there's some truth to it, and some distortion. Also as with all reputation, there are people who judge her solely by what they've heard, and not always for her good. ''

This sums up not just what house or school your character is, but your relationship to it, such as ''Reluctant Slytherin'' or ''World Famous Beauxbaton Duelist''.

'''Note:''' Our story takes place at Hogwarts, but characters may be returning Hogwarts students or may be there on exchange from another wizarding school. Exchange students will still be sorted into one of the four Hogwarts' Houses for the year.

Each Wizarding World Aspect represents the most noteworthy thing that happened to your character in a previous year. They can lean positive, like, ''Named Head Boy'' or they could lean negative like, ''Lost The Big Quidditch Match Singlehandedly''. Even something like ''My Mother Was A Deatheater'' can be used for good invokes and compels. First year students should start with one aspect, while returning students should start with 2.
 +
 +
'''As returning students, you will each be starting with two Wizarding World Aspects.'''

==Character Background==
 
==Character Background==
−
Hekate is of Greek / Scottish birth. Her mother is Greek, her father Scottish. Her intelligence showed early, astounding even those worthies. When the time came, it was, of course, given that she'd go to Hogwarts.
+
In addition to whatever description you choose to put here, your character's background should endeavor to answer the following questions:
−
 
+
−
To her parents' surprise, they did not have to buy her a wand. On her 11th birthday, a Little Owl flew into their home and dropped a Blackthorn Wand at her feet.
+
'''What was I doing during the Battle of Hogwarts''' (two years prior)'''?''' Were you at the school at all? Did you participate? What side of the conflict were you on?
 
   
 
   
−
'''What was I doing during the Battle of Hogwarts''' (two years prior)'''?''' With Voldemort rising, her parents did not want Hekate at Hogwarts, but she wouldn't hear of staying away. Granted, it would be dangerous, but there was nowhere to hide, and she still had much to learn.
+
'''What was my focus before the battle?''' What were your favorite classes/things to learn? What did you see yourself doing after school was finally over?
−
 
 
−
During the battle of Hogwarts, Hekate saved the life of a younger Slytherin girl, delaying a werewolf long enough for one of the teachers to deal with him.
 
 
   
 
   
−
'''What was my focus before the battle?''' Hekate has always dreamed of being a teacher at Hogwarts, and all her attention was focused there, mastering all the forms of magic as much as she could.
+
'''What is my focus in the aftermath of the battle?''' It has been two years since the battle. How did it change or temper your answers to the question above? How has it affected how you move forward as a witch or wizard?
 
   
 
   
−
'''What is my focus in the aftermath of the battle?''' She still wants to be a teacher, but she's decided to go about it a little differently. Now, she plans to spend some time as an Auror first, so she can teach with some real world experience.
+
'''Who are my parents/guardians, and what (if any) is their place in the wizarding world?''' Are you pureblood, *mudblood, or are the details of your ancestry uncertain? Is either of your parents muggleborn? Both? Is their knowledge of the wizarding world a new thing or something they're steeped in? Or have they been made to forget?
 
   
 
   
−
'''Who are my parents/guardians, and what (if any) is their place in the wizarding world?''' Hekate is Pureblood as far back as either side of the family can show. She is, on her father's side, distantly related to the Weasleys, in fact. Her mother's family has been pureblood in Greece since sometime before Justinian. Neither side has ever produced a dark wizard. Her mother, Lora Orielis, was an Auror in Greece. She put that aside to raise her daughter, but has since picked it up again. Her father on the other hand, is a noted Broom maker. His brooms can hold their own against some of the best, but they're bespoke. He sells mostly to professional Quidditch players.
+
*Note: ''This pejorative term is now officially designated as hate speech and strictly not tolerated in the school.''
  
 
==Extra Curricular Classes==
 
==Extra Curricular Classes==
−
Hekate is studying Muggle Studies and Ancient Runes.
+
Choose two classes beyond the Core Curriculum from the following list: Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, Muggle Studies, Study of Ancient Runes.
 +
 +
Note: You can also make up an extra-curricular class of your own devising if you prefer and we'll say it's a thing this year.
