OOC Info on Gabriella Anne Richards

Dec 16, 2005 18:37

Let's do backstoryish things, yo. It's been ages and I don't completely remember detailed backstory for most people, but basically I am good for same backstory with everyone who was at NP before I left :P

Hogwarts
House: Ravenclaw
Year: Fifth
Other: Bri was a prefect, but lost the position when her father sent her to Durmstrangs

Name
Full Name: Gabriella Anne Richards
Meaning: Gabriella is taken from the French name Gabrielle which means "God is my strength". Anne is derived from the Hebrew name Anna, which means "gracious".
Nicknames: Most everyone calls her "Bri". You could probably get away with "Briella" if you wanted, but don't call her "Gabi" unless you enjoy being hexed :P

Physical
Hair Color: Dark Brown. Gets a few subtle lighter streaks in the summers, but still overall is pretty dark.
Style: Very long, well past her shoulders, usually straight. Sometimes she pulls it back into a loose ponytail. Sometimes she charms it curly. She usually streaks it some odd colour for quidditch matches (green when she's watching Ireland play, blue if she's watching Ravenclaw, red if Gryffindor is playing anyone BUT Ravenclaw)
Height: Around 5'2

Birth Things
Birthday: September 23
Age: 16
Sign: Virgo (The Vestal Virgin. Mutable, earth, yin - planetary ruler: Mercury. Keywords: "I ANALYZE" Virgo is the sixth sign of the zodiac and governs the nervous system and the intestines. Positive traits include a keen intellect, attention to detail, imagination, politeness, disciplined work habits, realism, practicality, skepticism, organizational skill, curiosity, and modesty; negative traits are anal-retentiveness, anxiety, hesitation, an inability to see the forest past the trees, insecurity, and obsessiveness. Ravenclaw Virgos are skeptical, analytical, mathematically oriented, and sharp witted. Many become great magi, alchemists, and astrologers. These people love ideas and theoretical discussion, and their leaps of intuition can be uncanny. The Earth element makes them shrewd and pragmatic, and keeps them from flying off into cloudcuckooland.) You can read more about Bri's Virgoness here.
Enegram: Type 3 - The Achiever - The adaptable, success-oriented type. Threes are self-assured, attractive, and charming. Ambitious, competent, and energetic, they can also be status-conscious and highly driven for advancement. They are diplomatic and poised, but can also be overly concerned with their image and what others think of them. They typically have problems with workaholism and competitiveness. At their Best:: self-accepting, authentic, everything they seem to be-role models who inspire others.
Birth Tree: Olive (The Wisdom) - loves sun, warmth and kind feelings, reasonable, balanced, avoids aggression and violence, tolerant, cheerful, calm, well-developed sense of justice, sensitive, empathetic, free of jealousy, loves to read and the company of sophisticated people.

Magical
Wand: 11 inch bloodwood with a unicorn hair core
Bloodwood:
Unicorn Hair: Unicorns are a symbol of purity and innocence. Unicorn hair cores makes wands good for the pure of heart.
Broom: An early model Nimbus. Father insisted on buying it for her 16th birthday even though she is scared to death of heights and never flies it.
First Sign of Magic: At the age of 2, Bella and Bri are fighting over a toy when Bella's hand suddenly sprouts a fine set of welts and she releases her hold on the toy. This is probably what started them not getting along ;)

Hobbies
Quidditch: Bri doesn't play quidditch, because she's afraid of flying, but she loves to watch quidditch and she's rather attracted to quidditch players in general.
Reading: A true Ravenclaw, there's very little Bri finds more appealing than a good book. She'll spend hours curled up under her favourite tree or by the fire in the common room reading on top of her regular schoolwork.
Tim: (What, he's like a hobby) Bri's absolute favorite thing in the world is spending time with Tim.

Aspirations
Career: Bri has no idea what she wanted to do. She always expected she'd follow her family's expectations and work with her father at the Ministry and it's never occured to her to think about what it is she wants for her future.
Love: Bri started dating Tim at the beginning of their fifth year(this year). They are they disgustingly completely in love, even though they have only been together a short time. Bri tried to hide the relationship from her parents and was sent to Durmstrangs when they found out in an effort to keep her away from him.

Relationships
(this section is a work in progress... please comment to establish your backstory or have me make any necessary revisions or corrections)
Students:
x hannah_salix - Bri *adores* Hannah. The two have shared a dorm since first year and it's a bit of an ironic friendship because they are so different. But it works.

x christianish - Ah, Danny. Bri had the biggest crush on him for a good while. She's pretty much over the crush, but she absolutely adores him.

x timashford - Tim is the single most important person in the world to Bri. He is one of the few who can convince her to put down the books and relax once in awhile. No matter what craziness is going on in her life, she's always at peace with him. He really is her happy place.

Teachers:

Timeline
Pre-Hogwarts
September 23, 1989 - Born the youngest of 3 girls.

1991 - Bri is 2 and she shows her first signs of magic. She and her oldest sister are fighting over a toy when Bella suddenly jerks back her hand from the toy and it's covered in welts. Seems Bri accidentally hexed her to make her drop the toy.

1994 - (age 5) Bri starts hiding Muggle books at a childhood friend's home so her Father won't find them. Later when the friend moves away and Bri's father finds her stash, he burns the books and lectures her against reading such "rubbish".
