Padma Kali Patil
Character Biography

Character's Name: Padma Kali Patil
Age: 26
Birthdate: November 15, 1979
Family background: Padma was born two minutes before her sister, Parvati, on November 15, 1979. She and her sister were raised by their parents. Padma has a multitude of aunts, uncles and cousins who live in London, and she enjoys spending time with them and her family back in India.
House in School: Ravenclaw
Bloodline (and does it matter?): Pureblood and it makes no difference to her. 
Political Views: Padma keeps her view to herself, but tries to see the issues from every perspective.



Appearance 
Visual Representation: (attach pictures please) Parminder Nagra
Description: Padma is around 5'6, with medium length black hair and dark, dark brown eyes. During Hogwarts, she and Parvati were identical, but Padma has recently cut her hair and is making a concerted effort to be known for herself and not just the fact that she is a twin. She also has a tattoo on the small of her back, the word “peace” in Sanskrit.



Psychology and Personality 
Sexuality: Straight.
Strengths and Weaknesses: A true Ravenclaw, Padma has always been the more academic twin (she scoffs at the mere idea of Divination). Her strength lies in Transfiguration and Ancient Runes. She comes across as "standoffish" to people who don't know her, but she truly is warm and caring to her friends and family. She is also fluent in Hindi and Sanskrit as well as English and French.
Habits\Quirks: She goes through at least two quills a week, as she has a nasty habit of chewing the ends off of them. She is also dedicated to her job, and will go to any lengths to see that she does her job right. She also has a fondness for Muggle football games, and often catches matches at the pub down the street from her flat.
Likes\Dislikes: Padma likes books of any kind, Muggle football, her Indian culture, Muggle movies, the theatre, gossip, and the company of friends. She dislikes Mondays, Divination, people who look down on her because of her foreign background, fish and chips, and people who are perky early in the morning (i.e. before coffee).



Lifestyle 
Occupation: Executive Creative Director for Witch Weekly
Financial Status: Just a shade beyond comfortable 
Residence: A flat in Southwark, London, two blocks from the Borough Market



History from student days at Hogwarts to the present time:

After the final battle, Padma took a year off and went to stay with her grandparents in India. After returning to England, she got a job as a lifestyles columnist for "Witch Weekly." After one of the directors retired, Padma showed how adept she was at convincing people to advertise in the magazine and was promoted to Director of Advertising, a position which she kept for two years. She's recently been promoted to her most current position, Executive Creative Director, which makes her two steps below Editor-in-Chief (her ultimate goal).
