Pets: Rochester, a snowy owl, three pygmy puffs named Christian (red), Tory (pink) and Dolce (purple), and Renoir (Renny), a Granian colt who lives at her grandmother’s estate in France.
Personality: Growing up the baby of the Mercer family, not to mention the only girl, Adrienne developed a bit of a tendency to act a little spoiled sometimes, as well as a feistiness that only comes from having a twin brother who constantly looks for ways to annoy her. While she was sorted into Ravenclaw upon entry to Hogwarts at eleven years old, and she reflects that house’s love of books and learning, as well as its intelligence, there is also a little streak inside her of the Slytherin (which is less curious when you consider her twin brother was sorted into Slytherin). Her claws especially come out when someone threatens her shoes or pets, since she is extremely protective of both. Sometimes though, it may almost seem she cares about her shoes more. But in general, she is a friendly, polite, intelligent sixteen-year-old girl, with the inherited ability of Legilimency which she tries to hold back on using even though she's developed a good amount of control of it over the years, which is willing to give most people the benefit of the doubt. She values her friendships, and would do anything for her friends and family (even if sometimes they drive her up the wall). She also doesn’t overlook the usefulness of a good prank now and then, as long as it’s not done to her, and is a bit clueless when it comes to knowing if a boy likes her.
Background: Adrienne was born on February 19, 2053, two minutes after her twin brother Riley, and started her life as the only daughter of Steven and Rose Mercer. Rose, originally known as Rose Devereaux, was a star chaser for the Quiberon Quafflepunchers when she was younger, but gave that up a few years after meeting Steven, who works for the British Ministry in the Department of International Magical Cooperation. After they got married, Rose moved with Steven to England, where they currently live on a fairly large estate with their three children and any pets.
At a young age, they discovered their daughter had inherited the Devereaux ability of Legilimency, which had skipped over Rose, although her mother Marie had it and was fairly skilled with using it. So the annual trip to the Devereaux estate in France started, so Marie could help little Adrienne learn about her ability and use it more appropriately. At first, Rose went with her, taking both twins, but as Adrienne got older, she was allowed to travel on her own. Mainly after her and Riley turned eleven and started going to Hogwarts, since her being sorted into Ravenclaw convinced their parents she was responsible enough to be trusted to go to France on her own.
At Hogwarts, things were made easier since Adrienne had her best friend Chloe there with her, even though Chloe had been sorted into Hufflepuff. Oddly enough, her brother’s best friend, Phoebus McAllister, had ended up a Ravenclaw along with her, which certainly made things interesting among the foursome, although it still sort of remained split along gender lines. But Adrienne has managed to make a niche for herself at school, playing Quidditch and going to classes when she isn’t doing something or other with Chloe or anyone else. And, going into her seventh year, the foursome of Adrienne, Riley, Chloe and Phoebus has gotten more confused, which is something that is on Adrienne's mind often. Not to mention the stress of dealing with NEWTs on top of the fact she was made Quidditch Captain.
Brenna Blackthorne
Name: Brenna Rose Blackthorne
Birthday: January 30, 2040
Age: 28
Occupation: Shopkeeper, Madame Malkin’s
Born: Ireland
Lives: London, England
Appearance: Brenna is 5'9" tall, and slender, with long, very dark brown hair and blue eyes. She is always seen wearing a large silver locket, which contains a photo of her older brother. She pretty much always wears nice clothes and shoes, and likes pretty things. She often wears something that is either blue or purple, since those are her favorite colors.
Personality: Brenna is intelligent, and always likes to learn new things, even though she has been out of school for years now. She has a strong personality, and likes when people like her, but she can get emotional easily. When she loves someone, she really loves them, and it is hard for her to get over it if she is told to. She knows how to take care of herself, and can hold her own if [s]most[/s] people are mean to her. She also is fairly proficient in playing the piano.
History: Brenna was born the second child of Liam and Fiona Blackthorne, a witch and wizard in Ireland. She was four years younger than her brother, and became extremely close to him. Her mother never really cared what her older children did, remaining closer to her youngest, who was born ten years after Brenna.
When Brenna was sixteen, Aiden died suddenly, for which Brenna blamed their father for pushing him too much. Deciding she couldn't remain living with her father, she ran away from home, ending up first in London, and then Hogwarts, after someone took pity on her. After she got to Hogwarts, as a Ravenclaw, she met Tarot Williams, who was a Gryffindor a year older than her, and they eventually got involved in a relationship. They remained together for several years, until he proposed to her when she was 24 and he was 25. She declined, remembering her brother, and her fear of letting anyone too close and then them leaving. Tarot disappeared, and Brenna finally realized she blamed herself for her brother's death as much as she blamed her father. She also truly realized how much she loved Tarot, and retreated into herself a bit.
That winter, she had another run-in with Tarot, but this one ended quite differently than the previous ones. Literally running into him in the street, she ultimately ended up confessing her reason for hurting him so many years ago, and their relationship seemed to take a turn for the better. And then she found out that Madame Malkin’s needed a new shopkeeper, and she jumped at the opportunity. And now she’s setting off into a new career, with the hope that everything will be better for her.

Asteira Blood (17)
Pets: A gray cat named Grizabella, commonly called Bella. She was given to her by Rhiannon two terms ago, and is just over three years old.
Personality: Elizabeth is friendly, and sticks with her friends. She accepts people for who they are, but has a good sense of right and wrong. If she thinks you did something out of line, it takes a while to get back on her good side. She is intelligent, but not always entirely comfortable showing it. Except in school. She has a wry sense of humor, that could lean toward sarcasm occasionally. She also has a fondness for Muggle musicals, which led to her cat's name.Background: Elizabeth was born in America, the eldest daughter of an Army sergeant. So she has lived in various locales. However, all of them were in America. Currently, and for the last few years, her home is in California. Her first time out of the country was two terms ago, when she first came to Hogwarts. Prior to coming to England, much of her time was spent with her head in one book or another, leading her to have an extensive collection of random knowledge in her mind. Like most older siblings, she both adores and is annoyed with her younger siblings.
Her older brother, who is married and a father, plays on a professional Quidditch team based in California, as a chaser. And, like her cousin before her, Elizabeth joined the Ravenclaw team, as a beater her fifth year, chaser her sixth. (Her cousin played as a chaser) She really likes writing, and would like to become an author after she gets out of school.
Elizabeth spent her fifth year as one of the Ravenclaw prefects, but gave the responsibility up in order to feel like she could be more of a normal teenager, having fun with her friends. And, considering she ended up confessing to a professor (Truebridge) that she questioned his qualifications at the beginning of last term, and got caught kissing one of her best friends in the observatory, giving up prefect was probably a good thing. She also became senior reporter for the Ravenclaw house paper, and helped Ravenclaw achieve their third Quidditch Cup in a row, as well as House Cup.
Character: Jocelyn Dearborn - when she was alive, she was a medieval witch, related to an ancestor of Caradoc Dearborn, a member of the original Order of the Phoenix who disappeared and was presumed killed by Death Eaters. Her father was the type of wizard who always wanted to get ahead in life, and so he attempted to arrange a marriage between his daughter and Selwyn Dolohov, the son of another wealthy wizarding family (and ironically an ancestor of Antonin Dolohov, the Death Eater). She refused to go along with it, and her intended cast the Cruciatus Curse on her, and ultimately killed her when the torture didn't make her submit.

Rhiannon Todd
Name: Rhiannon Elizabeth Todd
Age: 17
House: Ravenclaw
Appearance:
Hair colour : blonde, long, straight, and silkyEye colour : large and blue-green
Height: 5'8"
Weight : 125 pounds
Defining physical features : Rhiannon is tall and slim. She moves gracefully.
Her mother's ring that she inherited:
Background:Rhiannon is a pureblood witch. She was born on February 26, 2048 in Wales to Deirdre and Spencer Todd. When she was four years old, her parents died under mysterious circumstances, althought the official report was that they died in a fire. At that time, she went to live with her maternal aunt, Charlotte, and her husband, Richard Andrews, in America. Her uncle is a Muggle and a sergeant in the U.S. Army. She grew up with her four cousins: Jonathan (18), Elizabeth (13), Ariana (8), and William (6).
She went to school in America, most recently California, until her aunt found a way for her to transfer to Hogwarts as a sixth year.
The summer after her first year at Hogwarts, she went back to Wales, to her family home to try and find out about her parents, since she had a feeling that what she had been told about their death wasn't the truth. Also, she wanted to get to know her birth country. While at the house, which she found out she still owns, she was in her old room when she remembered the night when her parents had died. And she now is certain that they were killed, although she does not know why. She has only told one person about what she remembered. Her family doesn't even know.
Coming into her last term at Hogwarts, she has become a prefect, as well as developed a bit of an internal conflict about her friends. She has secrets that she is unwilling to reveal. But they may come to light as the days pass.
Extra In-Depth Analysis: Rhiannon has a pet Northern Pygmy Owl named Taliesin. The owl was a gift from her cousin Jonathan, and only measures six inches in length. She is shy and quiet upon first appearances, but once she starts talking to people, she is friendly and remains loyal to her friends and family. She is also smart and artistic, with a temper that remains hidden unless provoked. She can be a bit of a prankster, depending on the people she is with. Her best subject in school is Charms, and her worst subject is, ironically, since she grew up around Muggles, Muggle Studies. Her Patronus is a doe.
Alexandra has slightly wavy. thick dark brown hair and blue-grey eyes, and fair skin. Sometimes in the summer, her hair turns lighter, depending on how much time she spends outside. She is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs about 110 pounds.
Renée has long dark hair, that is naturally wavy, but sometimes she straightens it, and dark brown eyes, that can look intelligent or mischievous, depending on how she is feeling at the moment. She is slender, about 130 pounds, and stands at 5 feet 7 inches tall.
