"A well prepared mind is a fortress against any coercion."

High Concept

Aspect Name Ravenclaw's Ravenclaw

Invoke: Invoke when extreme cleverness is called for.
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.

School Aspect

Aspect Name Rowena's Raven

Invoke: To call upon respect from other Ravenclaws.
Compel: When other Ravenclaws - or certain ghosts - get jealous of her reputation.
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.

Wizarding World Aspects

Aspect Name Saved the life of a Slytherin

Invoke: To be tolerated by older Slytherins and maybe even respected by newer ones.
Compel: To be looked at askance by the rest of the school.


Aspect Name I didn't buy my wand.

Invoke: When her wand allows her to do something surprising.
Compel: When having a decidedly non-standard wand attracts the wrong kind of interest. When the wand surprises her.
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

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.

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)? 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.

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? 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? 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

Hekate is studying Muggle Studies and Ancient Runes.
