Personal History:
On March 9th Margie was born and became Holly and Peter Staten's first child. For her childhood she lived in Bristol with her family and was home schooled by her mother until she received her letter from Hogwarts.
While growing up though, she wasn't an only child; no she had 4 little brothers to contend with. The first, Derek, came when she was 3 and was a 'surprise' in all cases. But unlike Margie who was a very quiet, calm and polite child, Derek hit the ground running. His never ending energy and quick fire temper turned the house to a loud, crazy one. Her parents spent more time trying to control Derek, and Margie could see them becoming more tired and annoyed, which caused her to retreat farther into her quiet haven. Not a very outgoing one, she preferred sitting in a quiet corner listening to her music more than anything else.
Holly, and therefore Peter, grew concerned over their daughter's quietness and her lack of relationships, especially with Derek. Coming from a family of mostly girls, Holly wanted her to have a sister to form that special bond that only sisters had. Unfortunately she ended up with the complete opposite a set of triplet boys. As if their house wasn't crazy enough, it now was taken up a notch and Margie, at age 6, was left to manage for herself.
Not only did she care for herself though, but she looked after her brothers as well, always managing to keep an eye on all of them to make sure they did no damage to themselves, others or the house. Often she was there to step between them when they fought or save that lamp from hitting the ground, or even make sure they did their homework. And while she wasn't close with Derek necessarily, the triplets (Jon, Bill and Ed) were the ones she formed the closest bonds with. She dotted over them endlessly whenever it was just them and learned how to take care of them, such as changing a diaper, feeding, and holding them.
As she grew up, she became more captivated by music and it became almost nonexistent to find her without some music playing or whistling if she had to. Any type of music was desired and her father completely encouraged it, buying her as many CDs as she asked for or even made a comment about. It was both of their passions for music and quiet demeanors that made her very close to her dad. Her mother she got along with fine, but there would be times that she wanted to run away just to be away from her.
Personality:
Because Margie grew up in a house of complete chaos, she's always been a very easy going person. She’s not a person to start drama; in fact she’ll sit back and let it go on about her, not wanting to get into it unless it directly involves her or disrupts her studying/peace. But even then she won’t step in unless it deals with her close friends, because she feels that if it’s with anyone else they’ll think that she’s nosy and a horrible person.
She’s extremely self conscious about what people think about her, but really, really tries not to let it get to her. In fact she’s pretty good and keeping her private thoughts away from what people usually see, trying to be happy towards those who know her best. Unfortunately her shyness gets in the way of her becoming instant friends with people.
There are those who she instantly can form a connection with, but for the most part she’s very quiet and shy around people she’s just met. Unless it’s about something she loves, then she’ll go prattling on about it for ages and then just berate herself later for doing so.
But the people she’s the most shy around would be boys. She feels so terribly awkward around them and just can’t stand it. Even though she’s been surrounded by them most of her life she still can’t understand them and is the victim of having many crushes on guys who show her the slightest hint of liking her, even if it’s just as a friend. If she suddenly sees that some guy might like her more than that, she’ll distance herself from them and become extremely awkward, not knowing what to do with the situation.
She does find times where she is more social though, and it's great because it almost feels like she's making progress. That is until she gets tired from her socialness and needs some alone time otherwise she can get even more secluded.
Most of the time, if you see her or are around her, she may start humming or tapping her fingers to a rhythm in her head unconsciously. She loves music and has many phases of what she likes to listen to. Once she gets a new record she’ll listen to it for hours on end, wanting to figure out every word, note, and instrument in there and commit it to memory.
And since she’s a Claw it’s almost a standard that she loves to read. Anything that interests her she will read and just devour it, trying to find out everything about it. Especially when it comes to Astronomy. The fact that there could be this other world out there and that there are so many stars in the sky fascinates her and one day she would love to work somewhere where she could learn all about it.
Any time period interests her as well. Learning how they lived, why they lived like that, and how they advanced in their society is one way that she’s able to get away from being so shy. And it’s all concise; she can study it with ease and just memorize it. Like a song, it’s not some spell that she has to be able to whip out in two seconds or else she may lose the battle. Much easier this way.
Physical Description: She's 5'4" and 130 lbs, so she's pretty normal for her age. Her dark brown hair is rather long for her right now, going down a few inches past her shoulders, and usually is a mix between curly and straight. Her eyes are a hazel color that appear more green, blue or brown depending on what she's wearing. As for her close, she's not one for fashion or standing out. When she's not wearing her uniform she's usually in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt or a sweatshirt of some kind, nothing too dressy so that she attracts attention.
