SARAH HANNAH BROOKS
16 October 04, 2003 Student 5th Year Hufflepuff Pureblood Canterbury, England | PERSONALITY: First and foremost, Sarah is an optimist. No matter the situation, she will always, always have something positive to say. Something hopeful, something good. To her, there is never a moment absent of hope. She is, at her most basic level, sunshine personified. She is always happy, always radiating energy, never seen moping about. This, of course, is one hundred percent intentional; she is human after all, and like anyone else, she does experience negative emotions. She simply chooses to tuck those negativities away in her journal rather than allow others to see her looking vulnerable. Like any ray of sunshine, Sarah's endless light and boundless energy can be a bit harsh to some. Especially when exposed to her for long periods of time. As a result of this, the young brunette has far more acquaintances than she does true, ride-or-die friends. She knows this, and does envy those who may not have as many friends in favor of having solid, deep connections with only a few others. Another sentiment she keeps solely in the pages of her journal. Sarah is dang near a professional at avoidance. Conflict? No sir. Making life-altering decisions for herself or others? Absolutely not. Heck, making any concrete decisions at all? Not likely. A queen of deflection and master of redirection, it's no wonder she struggles to maintain deep connections. Her conversational skills are nearly unmatched, and often others wont realize she's redirected conversation away from topics she finds uncomfortable until after their chat is over with. She's also polite to a fault, especially when rubbing elbows with other purebloods at social gatherings, something ingrained in her since young childhood. ASPIRATION: Sarah loves love. With her coming from a long line of pureblood witches and wizards she knows that many marriages were to preserve the bloodlines rather than for love. It is her deepest, most desperate hope to be swept off her feet and live a happy life with someone she loves and who loves her. Like the girls in her childhood fairytales. | LIKES: - Romance Novels - Warm, Sunny Days - Cats - Intricate, Flashy Charms - Writing In Her Journal DISLIKES: - Forced Conversation - Confrontation - Unfairness - Boredom - Wearing Dull Colors |

CHILDHOOD. | Sarah had a happy childhood. A third-born child in a family with four kids, it could have been easy for the brunette to get lost in the hustle and bustle of life. However, with parents who were absent more often than not, the burden of raising the two youngest Brooks siblings fell upon the shoulders of the two oldest Brooks siblings. That said, Sarah can count on one hand how many times she recalls her eldest brother, Gabriel, taking charge of rearing her and her sister. The one that most often comes to mind is a short period of time when she was five, where Gabriel was asked for fifteen minutes of supervision time by Jackson. The chaos caused by the two little girls in that tiny span of fifteen minutes... she still giggles about it from time to time even many years later. With both parents and Gabriel mostly out of the picture, most of the parenting was done by Jackson, who is only just under four years her elder. Being a child himself, Jackson did his best. And his best was pretty dang good. Sarah quickly grew into a respectful, polite, and bright young witch under the careful eye of her brother. When he was home from school, the brunette was a calm, grounded young one who turned to Jackson whenever Amy would gallop off to do something wild. But without the coattails of her brother to hide behind and tattle to, Sarah had a tendency to go along with Amy's plans. The two girls definitely kept everyone charged with caring for them on their toes. Though, on the rare occasion her parents were home, they'd come with at least one, usually many, gifts for their little princesses. Little Sarah usually would sequester herself in her room for a day or two in order to enjoy the gifts all to herself before the inevitable day when Jackson's voice would call out to please share. |
SCHOOL YEARS. | Sarah would never say it out loud, but she was incredibly disappointed when the sorting hat called out Hufflepuff on her first evening at Hogwarts. It wasn't that she was upset to be in Hufflepuff specifically, more so that she was saddened to be sorted into a different house than her older brother. She'd spent the entire summer prior to her first year envisioning pestering him in the Slytherin common room about this or that. The Sorting Hat was not wrong to put her in Hufflepuff, however. Sarah figured this out very quickly when she realized she felt right at home in the yellow-lined robes. In school, Sarah has excelled in both Potions and Charms, though the latter has remained her favorite since her first year. She, of course, never did bad in any of the classes she took, but she definitely had her favorites. Charms, Potions, and Astronomy topped the list, and the rest sort of fell by the wayside. She focused enough to manage decent grades, but never put in nearly the amount of extra time as she has with the top classes on the list. Throughout her schooling so far, Sarah has made it a point to keep her brother apprised of her triumphs and struggles alike. He is a very important figure in her life, and she ensures she bothers him at least once a week with an owl-sent update on her life. Of course, she sends these letters using Terra, her nearly 9-pound Eurasian Eagle-Owl who has for some reason decided he isn't fond of the older Brooks sibling. Jackson is, after all, still her brother, even if she mostly thinks of him as a father figure. As a younger sister, she is obligated to bother him whenever possible, and her favorite way is using her grump of an owl to send updates rather than her phone or, heck, even going and finding him on campus, since he does, in fact, work there. |

RP SAMPLE (200 words min.)
"I doubt your parents would consider me a good match, Theo," She points out dryly, uncorking the vial. Theo frowns, genuinely looking confused at her statement.
"And why would you think that?" He questions. She can't help but let loose a humorless chuckle.
"Let's see," She begins, turning to face him for real instead of looking through the mirror, "For starters, I'm not a Slytherin-"
"Not as big of an issue as you would think," Theo interjects. Ellora stares at him for a moment in silence, an annoyed expression on her face.
"I'm a sixth-born child-"
"Doesn't matter for girls, if we're being honest."
"There are other girls, Slytherin girls, in your year who-"
"Who are either already promised, or are of no interest to me."
"Would you stop that?" Ellora exclaims in exasperation. Theo's lips turn up into a small smirk at her annoyance. After another momentary pause, Ellora sighs. She raises the tiny bit of parchment in her hand and waves it through the air as if he can see it. "You're not on my list, Theo." She concludes.
"And who, might I ask, is on your list?" He questions, "Though, I would like to point out that the one in your hand is your mother's list, not yours. The two could very well bear entirely different names."
"You want me to tell you the names of boys I'd like to potentially marry one day?" Ellora asks incredulously, raising an eyebrow as she looks at the taller boy. Taking a step back, she crosses her arms, carefully holding the open, still-full vial of Wiggenweld Potion in her hand. "Or do you simply wish to know if your name is on that list, and if so, whether or not it is at or near the top?"
Theo's lips quirk up into a cocky smirk at Ellora's words. For a moment she believes he's going to spout some arrogant nonsense about how the Notts are always at the top of everyone's lists, but he doesn't. Instead, the brunette boy shrugs a shoulder and says, "If I am indeed on your list, I'd certainly like to know why."
"And why would you think that?" He questions. She can't help but let loose a humorless chuckle.
