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.

Character Background[edit]

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.
