Harlem Carroll






Harlem Carroll



D.O.B: Nov 7

Age: 18

Blood Status: half and half

Country of origin: United States

Grade Level: Freshmen

Patronous: snapping turtle

Former School: New York Academy of Magical Arts

Family History: Harlem's father was the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States and his mother was a judge on the United States Ministry Wizengamot. They met by chance when his mother complained to the waitress at Tavern on the Green that his father had come in after her but was seated before she was. His father offered to share the table with her and the two spent almost 3 hours at lunch. They were married 2 years later. And a year after that Harlem was born. He is an only child as his mother had a terrible miscarriage. His mother finally came clean about her magical heritage, and at first his father took it as a shock. He abandoned the family and Harlem and his mom were on their own.

His mother filled the home with happy memories for Harlem, and he never missed his father or having siblings as he went to a magical daycare. His mom didn't expose him to the muggle world out of anger at her husband for leaving them and once Harlem found out about the absence of his father he agreed with his mother. He was a wizard. His mother was promoted to the Undersecetary for the U.S. Minister of Magic when he turned 13.


Personality: Harlem is a quite person with a very arrogant flare. He thinks he knows everything and never misses a chance to show off his smarts. He has a bad habit of talking down to people thinking all people are stupid. He has a sarcastic sense of humor that sometimes can get him into trouble but he can usual charm his way out of it. He is very active his favorite sport being gobstones. Its a game of intelligence and strategy. He has a fear of flying and has avoided the class and Quidditch all together. He's a tough guy to know liking to keep to himself but once he opens up he is a total sweet heart.

Harlem still has father issues and as a result doesn't follow the authority of his male teachers very well.

They are human after all. and she knows the entire ancient language. Being a woodland elf her magic is strongest coming for plants, trees and the earth. She is stronger and faster than humans. She heals faster with minor cuts and bruises. Like most elves she can read the thoughts of humans, other magical creatures is harder and elves being trained at birth are the hardest to read. Idris however respects the privacy of people and has been out of practice with this art.  


HISTORY: 
Elves are known as the fair folk and as such they are older than any other species on the Earth. If they aren't killed they are immortal, but they can be killed in traditional human ways. It is said that they came before the founding of the Earth over the misty mountains in the great void in search of a new home. Idris was just a child when she set foot on what would become the Roman Empire, though it was nothing but unspoiled land at the time. She has always been fascinated by humans and chose to live among them at certain periods of history. Her favorites were the Egyptians and the Native Americans, they held fast to the idea of respecting nature. In ancient times she like to hold the jobs of scribe or musician. She loved the early civilizations. There was something sweet about them.


Elves are matriarchal society, so they only have queens and princesses. But elves have no sense of gender roles, so the Queen and Idris fight right along side the men when the time comes, and elven children are trained and schooled the same regardless of gender. They don't have a word for marriage. Elves can take partners who may stay together for a lifetime, or just a season. Although Idris has never taken a partner. She has devoted her life to service of her queen and her people. Idris fought in the first World War, to which her mother and many of the other Elders of the ancient races disapproved. They feel that humans should be left to their own devices, but Idris has always had a soft spot for humans. Since the day she met her first one. And she fought again in the second World War, though many of her country men had given up on the human race, but Idris and her mother still held out hope. The coven have been arguing for centuries that its time to go back to their ancestral home, but the Queen still believes humans will turn from their ways and start respecting the Earth again. She has held many jobs during her few hundred years living among humans.  


Her most recent job was working as a lobbyist for the EPA. She had been working for 50 years trying to protect the environment and the wild places of the Earth, the last strong holds of her people. The Council of Elders is convening in a few months because of the deterioration of the great powers. The recession around the world has pushed civilization back into the dark ages and many of the Elders feel this is a ripe time to conquer the humans and restore the nature order of magical creatures. The Queen and Idris sit on the council of Elders and Idris is making her way back to the mountains for the meeting.

Franca Monte Cristo


Franca Cristo

Age: 20 
House: Gryffindor 
Nationality: British and French 
Heritage: muggleborn 
Patronus: Crain 
Job: Potions Master - Romanian Academy of Magic  


Background  


Franca was born in the UK, but grew up in France on her family estate. Her father was the youngest child to the fabled Count of Monte Cristo. The family was disgustingly rich since her great grandfather found the legendary treasure of Sparta. Through other dealings and enterprises the wealth of the family grew. Her mother, Justine, was the president of the Swiss bank that held the majority of the family money and thats where she met the young Edmund Monte Cristo.  


With the death of his father and being the only boy in the family Edmund and Justine became the Count and Countess Monte Cristo. Her mother left her post at the Swiss bank when she became pregnant, the job was too demanding on her time and she wanted to be with her daughter. Franca spent her days running and tumbling through the grounds of the Cristo estate. She was a happy child, but extremely intelligent. She could read at 16 months and was talking in full complete sentences by the time she was two. She wasn't put into regular muggle primary school, she was placed into a special program for gifted youngsters.  


The family was shocked and totally surprised on the morning of May 5th when an owl swooped into the breakfast room and deposited a strange looking envelop into the lap of young Franca. She was accepted into Hogwarts and sorted into Gryffindor. A new world was opened up for Franca and she flourish at Hogwarts where she found her passion for potions. She was the youngest president of the Young Society for Potioneers at 12 years old, and she was featured on the cover of Today Potion at the age of 13 for her alchemy advances in the field.  


She was given special permission to take her NEWTs in her 4th year, and she passed all of them with high marks. Only the 5th person in Hogwarts history to do so and the youngest, she entered the French Ministry at the age of 15 and she was the division head for Potions and Wacky Concoctions by the time she was 17. She loved what she did, but as division head she was stuck behind a desk most of the day and that didn't leave enough time for her to focus on her real passion. Creating new potions or improving old ones, so when she heard of a opening for a potions master at the Romanian school she jumped at it. She didn't need to work for the money, she did it for the pure joy and love of the field.  


She dropped the Monte part of her name just to try and blend in a bit more, so she just goes by Franca Cristo now.  


Personality



Franca is a bubbly person, she always has a smile on her face, and she loves being around people. She loves being in the thick of things and down in the trenches getting dirty. She is a bit OCD with her hygiene as most geniuses are. She washes her hands over and over again, and she takes special care of her nails. She goes every 2 weeks to a muggle nail shop to get her nails and toes done. She may like to get rough and tumble but she is a lady after all. She puts people at ease wherever she goes. She never understood why people acted funny around her just because she was possibly the most intelligent person in the room, she still considered herself a regular person. She's not one to lord her intelligence over anyone and she isn't even one to announce her accomplishments to people who don't already know. If asked about it, she will most likely shrug and say "its no big deal,"  


Appearance Height: 5'2” Hair colour: thick jet black curtain of hair that falls below her shoulders Eye colour: Brown Complexion: deep latte color Build: thin and shapely in the right places

Dillon is the younger in a set of twins to the Greenwood family. He was born more than 2 hours after his brother, and if you ask him he got there when he was good and ready. His older brother JoJo is his best friend. They are in inseparable. JoJo and Diggy are troublemakers to the core. JoJo is the mastermind and Diggy is the muscle. Not that he isn't just as smart he usually can't sit still long enough to think of a plan. He is a boy of action and constant motion. He can get into and out of any locked room, knot or anything else that was made to keep him and his twin out. Dillon the more chatty twin. He loves being around people. He loves to annoy his big sister Paris, its so easy to get under her skin. He is all boy, he loves to get dirty and play sports. Quidditch and American football are his favorite sports. He loves his family more than anything, his loves their Saturday movie night. His dad built him and his brother a pirate ship in the backyard. He loves the cannons. For the most part he is a very happy child.

Family History

Dillon is 5th of 7 children. Paris, Willow, Lucas, Joseph and then another set of twins, Benjamin and Devon. He is half African on his mother's side and half Scottish on his father's side. His mother's parents live in the capital of Ghana. His grandmother is the Minister of Magic and his grandfather is the owner of the largest broom and carpet company in Africa. His aunt Tomasina and his uncle Excelsior both work there. He wants to work there when he grows up. Cloak and Concealment is what he wants to do. His parents have been married for 15 years. They met by chance in the park across the street from the Ministry of Magic. His mother had just finished her application to the Ministry and his father was on his first day at work just on a coffee break. His mother was sitting with her older and younger sister, India and Tomasina respectively. His mother fell in love with his father the first time she saw him.

Extra In-Depth Analysis

Dillon does talk a lot, but he can be quiet when he is around people he doesn't know. He loves being around people, but the only time he wants to be alone is with his twin JoJo. He does keep a journal of his adventures. His aunt Zaire is an author and he sent him the journal and if he can't work with his grandfather he wants to be an author. He loves his family more than anything. He really took to the big brother role. He always had his little brothers , the twins Ben and Devon, with him. Him and JoJo used to pick on his big brother Lucas a lot, he was a momma's boy and small for his age, till he hit 15 and had a grown spurt, now Lucas is the tallest thing in the house at 6'2. He loves muggle DVD's and he is fascinated with superheros. Him and JoJo spent a year dressed up as Superman. Their mother had to jinx the costumes off of them to bath them. Sometimes he can be very moody and only JoJo can talk him out of his mood. He isn't one to spend money like his sisters, though he owns every muggle video game and gaming system out there. He placed 4th in the video game championships in Malaysia last year. He has a near genius IQ, but unlike his twin he isn't into the books, he's more into video games, superheros and Ice Mice. He has an insane fear of tomatoes, and anything derived from them like ketchup, pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce anything. It stems from a prank he played on his sister, Paris. He switched out her shampoo with fungus growing cream. She freaked out and to get him back she charmed a few tomatoes to attack him in the bathtub. His parents found him behind the toilet in tears and shaking from head to toe. Paris didn't mean to scare him that much, but he had been 7 years old when it happened, and ever since he's been scared to death of tomatoes. Like his mother Diggy can see through to the inner core of people to see their emotions, well when he's calm enough to look. Like his entire family he wears his emotions right on the surface, he can't hide how he feels about anything. And he does have a quick temper that fizzles out just as quickly as it blazes up. He is small and not very strong so people tend to take that as weakness. Well they only do it once. His father having a fear that his children would get picked on like he did allowed his mother to teach all the children self defensive spells, hexes and curses. He even learned a few ones from his aunt Tomasina and his sister Paris.
