Hair: Of a dark blonde hue, always kept parted neatly to the right. Generally her hair has a glossy appearance, partially due to the extended hours she spends outdoors in the sun.
Eye colour: A mixture of forest green and brown, with a dark ring around the outside.
Skin: Her skin has an olive tint due to her partial Greek ancestry, and is tanned due to her activities outdoors.
Personality: Journey has always possessed an energetic spirit, ever since infancy. She quite enthusiastic, and can turn any dull situation into an exciting adventure. These characteristics cause her to be quite confident in herself, which causes her to view failure as impossible and unacceptable. When she sets a goal, she can become quite impulsive and impatient, which can occasionally make her reckless and a daredevil. She is also quick-witted, which assists her to think on her feet and come up with the best possible solution in a short amount of time. Being brave and courageous, Journey possesses many traits that make her ideal for a leadership position. She can also be selfish and quick-tempered at times, although she tends to be direct and frank in most situations.
Skills: An avid flyer, with natural ability from the start. Intelligence is another talent of Journey’s, and she can perform above average (at least when she applies herself). In addition, Journey is inventive and creative in many aspects, which proves a real aid in various situations.
Weaknesses: Usually impulsive and hot-headed, which can create many sticky situations. She also enjoys proving herself, and has an extremely difficult time turning down a challenge of any sort. Lastly, when it comes to work needing to be done, Journey can be a bit of a procrastinator; she prefers to wait until the last minute, which will often result in sloppy work that does not reflect her best effort.
Likes: Challenges, apples, winning, adventure, flying, spontaneity, red.
Dislikes: Admitting failure, advice, waiting around, demeaning jobs, shallow relationships.
Motto: “If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all”
Family Information: Journey comes from a large purely muggle family. Her mother, Colina DeLorme, works as a Psychologist at a local school in their hometown. Her father, Servan DeLorme, is employed as a Detective, and is normally called onto the scene of a crime. Mathieu DeLorme, Journey’s youngest and only sibling, is a mere six years old; thus far, he has shown no magical inclination.
Background: Even from infancy it was evident that Journey was a unique child, with unique abilities. With each passing month, she would adopt a new and unusual hobby, whether it was carving sticks or learning to play a magical instrument. The majority of the time she was no prodigy at these tasks, but she never let that stop her from attempting. She wanted to do and try everything. Some found her frantic manner worrisome; including former teachers, but her parents assumed it was merely a more creative childhood development. It was not until her ninth birthday that she exhibited true magical abilities. A classmate (one that she was not particularly fond of) had been bullying her younger brother. Upon witnessing this, Journey’s temper got the best of her. As she headed to angrily confront the boy, he began screeching in a high-pitched tone, and eagerly jumping around in a circle. It was not until Journey got closer that she understood the situation; approximately one dozen frogs had somehow managed to get in this boy’s pants! The children erupt into laughter, but Journey couldn’t help but wonder: was it a mere coincidence that she had been thinking about shoving frogs down his pants moments before this occurrence? Her logical thought process convinced her it was nothing more than a coincidence, but she continued to wonder about the event, especially when similar situations transpired over the next few years.
Subsequent to her eleventh birthday, she received a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her father was skeptical, but her mother refused to believe the contents of the letter. Magic being real?! The mere idea was absolutely ridiculous. However, with the continued arrival of letters, a few being speaking letters from the Headmaster himself, her mother decided she had completely lost her sense of reality; why not visit this alleged school and prove that it was a hoax! Unfortunately, Platform 9¾ turned out to be far more real than she had expected; upon arrival she fainted, right into a large (and not very pleasant) balding wizard. Her father, thankfully, managed to keep a level head and see that she made it onto the train, before escorting his wife away from the havoc as quickly as possible.
Journey is now on the verge of starting her second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her first year was quite successful and enjoyable, but she still has much to learn about the magical world.
Short Roleplay: After thirty minutes of searching, Journey finally located her Charms classroom. “Stupid changing staircases.” She muttered under her breath. Five minutes prior to the classes, she was only a staircase away from the classroom – when the stairs decided to change direction. Being unfamiliar with their new direction, Journey sighed heavily as she tried to re-navigate towards the classroom. Upon climbing the stairs, she had decided to go right; unfortunately this took her down a completely unfamiliar corridor. Needless to say, she was completely lost. With the assistant of a friendly ghost, however, she was finally able to find he classroom.
Journey nervously opened the door, knowing the professor would be angry. “Erm, sorry I’m late. I got lost, and since the classroom was in a different room from last year, and then the staircases changed, and then I went right when I guess I should have gone left and—“ The professor stared blankly, before continuing the lecture. Journey’s face flushed red before she hastily took a seat in the back of the classroom. What a stupendous way to begin the academic year, she thought sarcastically.
