Character Info Sheet
All information regarding the character Arisha O'Hearn can be read on this post. Less clutter around the journal that way. :D
NAME
Full Name: Arisha Georgia O'Hearn
Name Meaning: Arisha is a pet form of Arina, a Russian variant of Irina, cognate of Irene, from the Greek Ειρηνη (Eirene) which meant "peace". Irene was the Greek goddess of peace. Georgia is a Latinate feminine form of George, which is from the Greek name Γεωργιος (Georgios) which was derived from the Greek word γεωργος (georgos) meaning "farmer, earthworker", itself derived from the elements γη (ge) "earth" and εργον (ergon) "work".
Nickname: Arisha or 'Rish works for her. Her mother used to call her Isha, but only very close friends/relatives know about that.
PHYSICAL
Hair: Dark brown hair
Height: 5'4"
Physique: Light-to-medium build
BIRTH DETAILS
Birthday: February 07
Age: 14
Sign: Aquarius
Aquarians who are sorted into House Hufflepuff are introverted, but not shy; march to the beat of a different drummer, but don't wear their weirdness like a flag; socially minded, but highly critical of society. Confused? So are the Hufflepuff Aquarians, but they tend to sort things out eventually. Their minds lean toward the practical side of things - they'd rather invent new and useful spells or gadgets than dwell for hours in hot air theory - and the solutions they find to common problems are brilliantly on target. They like people and want to get along well with everybody, but are uncomfortable with intimacy; so they have lots of acquaintances but few close friends. They have the ability to laugh at most any situation.
Positive traits include brilliance, innovation, individuality, openness, social consciousness, inventiveness, practical skill, and self assertion; negative traits are eccentricity, lack of attachment to people and the "real world," over-intellectualizing of the emotions, a crotchety temper, rigidity, intellectual arrogance, and stubbornness.
EDUCATION
Hogwarts: Hufflepuff House
Year: Fourth
Pre-Hogwarts Training: Taught by her mother and grandmother when she was still alive. Flying is in the genes, and was exposed to it by her mother, who was on her house's Quidditch team during her school years.
Subjects: She is quite commendable in DADA and Charms, and earns good grades (E to O) in the rest of her subjects. An exception is Astronomy (she's either freezing or yawning during class) and Transfiguration to which she believes she'd do better in if it weren't for the professor teaching the subject.
MAGICAL
Wand: 10 1/2 inches, ebony, with a dragon heartstring
Wand Wood: Ebony is a wood of enormous power, particularly for magick of the dark moon -- banishing, protection, gestation, and matters of death and rebirth.
Wand Core: Dragon heartstring cores are said to be good for hexes, which Arisha is fairly good at.
First Sign of Magic: Briefly levitated a ball while playing in the garden with her mother at age 1.
HOBBIES
Flying: Arisha is a good flier, probably good enough to play on the Quidditch team, but she prefers to fly for fun and only enjoys Quidditch as a sport to watch.
Going Outdoors: Prefers to hang out outside the castle walls during break time instead of sitting around the Hufflepuff Common Room
Reading: Well, at least advanced reading on Charms and DADA. Spells intrigue her, and she's always excited to try out new spells and getting them to work. And Transfiguration, because she'll be dead if she doesn't.
ASPIRATIONS
Career: She is bent on becoming part of an exclusive research team dealing with charms after graduation.
Love: Arisha is one of those who isn't preoccupied about getting herself a boyfriend, although she doesn't squirmy at the idea. She definitely gets crushes now and then, and thinks that one of the reasons Runes is interesting is because of Professor Herlewin.
