 | fizzing whizbee! | | By Jane Doe, Imaginary Ace Reporter Extraoidinaire | Three moments of my life that have shaped me? Mm, what a loaded question! Maybe I'll use colours, too, I'm more of a visual person. Anyway, I've lived here (England, that is!) my entire life, in this nice little rural town that I absolutely love. I mean, animals everywhere! I'm going to bend the rules a bit and make this a two in one. Home, to me, is incense and dream catchers, and most of all, stories. Our childhood (my little sis Hyerim's and mine) was filled with stories our parents told us, crafted from their own experiences and ones from fantasy worlds, and I think, sparked our imaginations. The world is not just a world, yknow, there are little hidden treasures everywhere if you just look! They taught me not to lose that. To me, kindness is the most important thing you can learn, and I remember Mum being kind to everyone, and teaching that through the stories. That colour would be a soft blue, going to bed at night with dreams in our minds.
I guess another moment would be playing rounders (funny thing about being a half-blood, you have sort of cultural differences within the household, my dad had a good laugh about things like that) with the neighborhood kids. School wasn't something that came too naturally to me, I always had to work for it, but I'm sort of athletic, so sports came pretty easily. That day, when my bat connected with that ball.... Well, d'you know what happened? It went straight into my neighbor's car window, that's what happened. Grounded for weeks. But I didn't really mind; I saw red, dazzling freeing red. Yknow, ever since I've known Quidditch I've loved the idea of flying. You watch Bewitched and suddenly you get to live that, only not on a screen, but really flying... Words can't describe, but it's... amazing, wonderful - wonderizing? I didn't initially have a specific position I wanted to play, only knew as a first year taking Flying that it was something I wanted to do. Beater was definitely, definitely the right choice. All of the positions are crucial, I just like helping others out, keeping them safe, working as a team... and hitting stuff around doesn't hurt, either!
Last, but not least, I can't remember when I first did magic (Mum says she thinks it was when I was about four months old, making my mashed peas disappear - which was later found inside my dad's bowler hat, so the story goes.) The first time I remember had to do with a pink plastic flamingo and a melon ice lolly. I was trying to entice the little guy over with said ice lolly, twitching my nose, all the usual things you see from Witches in the media, when to my surprise he actually did come over, beak first. The moral of that story was plastic beaks are still sharp, but anyway, I think having a Muggle mother has probably allowed me to appreciate magic more, since I'm able to see both sides. I also think everyone has a bit of magic in them; don't let anyone tell you what-for. And of course, magic is iridescent! No one colour can contain it. Look through a kaleidoscope, and that's what magic is to me; countless glittering rainbows, an array of all the colours that make me up. |
 | Three personality traits that have defined me... Another loaded question! Bang. Well, it's a bit awkward to talk about yourself like this, but I like my cheer. I guess I mean mostly in terms of a sense of humour. It's easy for me to laugh at myself (a little too easy; if you're a professor and reading this, I'm sorry if I've laughed in your class. It just won't turn off!) and I think it's important to be silly and not be afraid of others thinking you're a fool! I also think it's important to try to find the silver lining, to try to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and soldier on, with a smile if you can manage. If we all go around with gloomy faces, it could soon be a national energy crisis.
Hm... I would say this trait could be described as a strength and a weakness. I have a determined streak a mile long, so if you tell me I can't do something, that will give me what I need to work ten times harder to get it. Sometimes this is to the point where, like my dad always says, I can become pretty bullheaded. It's not something I'm always too keen on having as a 'defining personality trait', I don't think I would be able to do my dad's job well at the Ministry of Magic, having to cooperate and compromise with others. There are definitely times that's gotten me into trouble, if you can believe it. If I had a Galleon for every time!
This might go hand in hand with the last one, but I like breaking the norm, breaking others' expectations of me. It feels.... like a challenge, almost, and I'm up for that challenge. Most people expect a guy to be a Beater, and I like the unconvention of it, of making my own expectations. There comes a point when you can either let things define you, or you can grab a pen and define them yourself. With the pure-blood mentality some have, I guess I've been prejudged by some in that area, as well, but that does give me a drive to keep moving. It's much easier to zone out of that judgement and focus when I'm on the field - having opposing teams boo at you can hurt, but it can also give you that boost of "I will show you!" | Name: Lee Hyeri
House/Year: Hufflepuff/Fifth
Blood Status: Half-blood
Classes: Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Herbology, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination
Extra-curricular: Beater for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team
Things we'd be tickled to see are a variety; friends, as an obvious start. Broomstick Buds - people to practice Quidditch with (who says practice has to be boring!) Study Buddies. Basement Room Mates! People to roughhouse with - she likes to play rowdy. People to love on. The Goofing-off-in-Class Pals (only some of the time; she is still a student;) Partners-in-Crime - "crime" meaning having little misadventures and exploring, loads of exploring. Childhood friends. An older friend to dote on her; she's the oldest sibling, but around friends can develop the younger sister vibe easily through both her youthful minded thinking and well-intentioned obnoxiousness. Cousins, or other relatives, related on either side; a family line could definitely work as well, keeping in mind that she's a half-blood with a family tree on two very opposite sides of the spectrum; her father is a pure-blood with a bit of a backwards-minded fully Wizard family, and her mother has not a drop of Witch or Wizard blood in her own. Pure blooded relatives who resent her father's marital decision are more than welcome. She worries over her mother and other Muggles since the recent violent attacks, and heavily disapproves of elitist pure blood thinking; any kind of tension between her and another muse because of this, I'd be open to (alternatively, others who might get annoyed with her, see her as obnoxious, etc! She means well, but I'm sure there'd be a few who would potentially view this constant enthusiasm as too much to take.) Romantic interests are a slightly trickier aspect. She falls into and out of puppy love easily, I can't say anything serious would come out of this yet, but we're open to her developing a schoolgirl crush for either gender; she has a thing for girls and will probably develop a few feelings for young professors and senior students, due to the time period it's something she definitely doesn't flaunt openly; on the contrary, she keeps this part of herself pretty hidden. Both of us can appreciate organic, completely out of the blue plots, though (the whackier the better)! Also, if you're interested in getting to know her better, here is the full Lee Hyeri story. Here's to plotting with you! | | | Index  |
