NAOMI, COLUMBINA
TWELVE JUNE 25TH HOGWARTS STUDENT RAVENCLAW, SECOND YEAR HALFBLOOD LUTON, UNITED KINGDOM | PERSONALITY: Naomi is equal parts inquisitive and introverted. She's constantly busy trying to improve, whether it's her schoolwork or the personality she's put up for others to perceive. She feels the need to belong and has yet to believe being herself is enough. She enjoys people-watching and can often come across as aloof, although she's constantly observing others. Naomi also enjoys her books, not as much for their content but for the conclusions that can be drawn from them. ASPIRATION: Harbouring a secret envy to those better conversed in social skills, Naomi wants the social bonds they have. She feels the need to belong and has yet to believe being herself is enough. Whether she'll succeed in that regard will depend on who she interacts with. She's not sure what she wants to do when she grows up, but she's taken a liking to tales of old told to her by her parents, and her favourite subject so far has been History of Magic. With a school as old as Hogwarts, she's bound to run into interesting things as she explores.. Right? | LIKES: - Rainy days and the atmosphere they bring. A bit of gloom is always appreciated and it means she gets to stay indoors. - Deep and spicy smells. A hearty broth or stew reminds her of home. She also enjoys cloves, cardamom and cinnamon. - The company of others where both parties are doing their own activities. - Receiving praise, a lot! Naomi is often not aware if others are paying attention to how she's doing. - Scary stories to read in the dark. This has lead to some nights with little to no sleep but if asked she'll say that it was totally worth it. DISLIKES: - Eventhough they're much like her, she's not fond of cats. - Her father, somewhat. Whereas her mother tried her best to prepare her for her venture to the wizarding world, her muggle father was mostly absent, only wishing to support her with muggle-related problems. - Sour candy and the smell of vinegar. - Having to raise her voice to make herself clear. - Flying. She can do it but unless falling is intended she suffers from vertigo. |
FAMILY MEMBERS. | Giuseppe Lucio Columbina [43], Ambulance Worker Alessa Loughton [38], Aurologist |
CHILDHOOD. | Naomi's father, Giuseppe, came from a long line of Italian muggles. He moved to London to pursue his education and found it to be far more accomodating to his needs than Florence ever could. It wasn't until a couple of years later that he met Naomi's mother, a woman named Alessa. He could feel there was something more to her family but he assumed each family had their secrets. It wasn't until Alessa was with child that she confided to Giuseppe that she was a witch. He was distraught to say the least. The sound of her parents arguing in another room is a constant throughout Naomi's earliest memories. After she started showing signs of witchcraft and accidentally setting fire to her father's shed at the age of five, her parents divorced. This felt liberating to Alessa, finally being able to freely use magic in the house and telling Naomi about all kinds of things regarding the Wizarding World. She spent her weekends at Giuseppe, a magic-free house. She experienced a different kind of love there; Eventhough they were nowhere near as perfect as her mom's, the pancakes here tasted better. Her father, however, also seemed to emit some kind of sorrow. He knew she wouldn't have the life he wanted her to have. Once the acceptance letter came in the mail she'd become a witch and he wouldn't be able to help her with that. |
SCHOOL YEARS. | First Year (2018-2019): The disaster that occured the year prior had been explained to her in a way that was easy for a child to understand. Naomi could definitely feel the aftermath though, and it frightened her a little. That, combined with a new school, led to her introversion. She felt out of place and was not the easiest girl to befriend. She received a lot of owls from her mother and she sent even more back, although the majority of them were addressed to Giuseppe instead. He hardly ever replied (nor could he, really), and it made Naomi feel like she couldn't rely on her father while she was at Hogwarts. Had she made a mistake? Was magic really meant for her? After the Yule break she returned to school with renewed fervor, deciding to put all her attention on her schoolwork. She'd grown accustomed to the walls she'd spend her next seven years in. She had a bit of trouble with her spellcasting, still. She was a bit too timid to properly pronounce her spells, which she solved by singing and humming to herself to keep her throat prepared. She had affinities for Astronomy and History of Magic, and Defense against the Dark Arts. Second Year(2019-2020 until month of acceptance): Naomi's second year started off with the Wizarding Tournament and she couldn't have been more excited! Noone could tell as much, though. She thought it would be a great opportunity to make friends, something she hadn't really tried in the first year. She also spent more free time roaming the grounds, having made it her mission to walk a different route each day. She did hear rumours about topics she knew little to nothing about, though.. Perhaps some investigation is in order. |

RP SAMPLE (200 words min.)
Theo sighed softly. His troubles may not have created the temple, but they did ultimately shape the way he faced it. He was taught that both fortuitous and hapless events did not last. Keeping that in mind, he wondered how much longer he could keep up this façade.
He fastened the straps of his backpack, took his time doing some light stretches, scrunched his face a couple of times until he settled on a smile he considered to be warm, and he put his hand on the ornate doorknob.
"Theodore? Is that you?"
Theo paused. It couldn't be.. He turned to face the source of the voice and his masked warm smile made way for a genuine one. "Kimii!" He ran towards his childhood friend, embracing her in a hug before making some distance and looking her up and down, his hands hovering over her shoulders while he tried to make sense of things. Theo recognised some of the symbols she wore on what he could only assume to be the attire Durmand requested her to wear during her apprenticeship. The most prominent of them had to be the Seal of the Unseen, a testament to the founder of his faith. "I didn't know the Priory believed in the divine.. Or you, for that matter. It's been a while, hasn't it?" He wasn't sure whether she knew about the 'visitor' that made the temple its home and the lengths the confessors would go to keep it hidden from the public, but he figured it wouldn't hurt to pry. "What brings you to Demetra?"
