Have I mentioned how much I hate this game? Except I'm highly competitive, so I need to get at least to level two. >_<

There are a few things in my characters 'familial' past (such as how the loss of her mother came about) that won't be in this profile but if you want to know you can either just ask me or go to the profile in the Ravenclaw RPG thread. A slightly more detailed profile is listed there. Name: Helénē Méav Galatas (pronounced huh-LAYN mayv gah-lah-TAS) though she prefers to be called Elena or Lena. Her close friends call her L. Date of Birth: Third of June. Age: Fourteen. Year: Fourth. Blood: Pure. Wand: 13.75" Oak and Phoenix Feather. Pet: Gwendolyn: a Snowy Owl with black speckles all over her and a pure white face. Physical Description: Elena is 5'6" with a slender build - a "Chaser's build" as her father used to say - though she is not 'stick figure thin'. She has dark brown hair that has an auburn tint to it in the sunlight and reaches down to around three inches above her waist that she usually wears in either a pony tail, half up and half down or in a messy bun. She has a slightly sharp nose, rosy lips and bright hazel eyes that change color to a dark brown when she's inside. Over the summer before her fourth year, her skin bronzed just a little more than it's usual 'slightly tan' color since she visited her childhood home in Greece. Brief Personal History: Out of the four Galatas children, Elena is the only female out of them. With the loss of her mother at a fairly 'young' age and being raised by her father, Elena tends to have a few 'tomboy' tenancies though as she got older she blossomed into her own woman. She loves to fly and play Quidditch with her friends as well as her brothers, though she also does like to study and takes her academics very seriously. While she likes the fact that she was sorted into Ravenclaw, she would not have minded being sorted into Slytherin either; her two older brothers - both of whom have graduated - were sorted into Ravenclaw and Slytherin while her younger brother was sorted into Hufflepuff. She received her magical abilities at a fairly young age - around the age of nine, only months before her mother died - and with the help of her family members, she learned how to control her magic for the most part until she reached Hogwarts. When she reached Hogwarts, she did her best to fly under the radar for the majority of her first year. In returning to the school her second year, she had grown a little more comfortable with herself so she allowed herself to be noticed or called upon during her classes though she really didn't break from her shell until her third year. While she had made 'acquaintances', she hadn't truly found any real friends except Aria Raynor (a Slytherin girl who came from an old wizarding family and enjoyed doing whatever she could to annoy her parents) and Scarlett Garner (a Gryffindor girl who came from an old wizarding family though lost her parents at an even younger age than Elena had). Upon meeting the two girls, Elena had felt an almost immediate connection. With Aria and Scarlett being in different houses, Elena did the best that she could to stop the 'competition' or 'hatred' between their houses to come between their friendships. It was her two friends who had been partially responsible for shattering the shell Elena had been hiding inside her first two years, helping her to grow into the woman she's becoming. Now in her fourth year, Elena has become more confident in her potion making abilities as well as her wand working skills. Instead of keeping herself in the shadows and flying under the radar like she had done the last three years, she has resolved this year to break out of her shell just a little more and communicate more possibly gather herself more friends; friends who can actually be defined as such instead of mere acquaintances who would just as soon leave her side as they would buy candy from Honeydukes. Temperament: Elena is smart, witty (sometimes considered snarky) and quick on her feet. She loves everything having to do with the magical world though most of her 'obsessive' tendencies involve vampires, dragons, faeries and things as such (ie - more seen as mythological characters). She has a fierce temper when she is angry or annoyed with something or someone. She's not too trustworthy of people that she doesn't consider 'friends', though her attitude towards those she considers 'enemies' is considered a bit 'snarky' at some times. While gaining her friendship and trust is not entirely hard to do, once you betray her or lose that trust it is very likely you will never win it back. Classes Currently Enrolled in: [Last semester] Astronomy, Greek Mythology Advanced, Herbology, History of Hogwarts: The Founders, Vampires: Facts and Myths. (I haven't decided which classes I want to take yet.) Best Magical Talent: Potions, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures and Charms Worst Magical Talent: Divination (She's not necessarily bad at it, she's just not too fond of the class) Best Non-Magical Talent: Cooking, Singing, Theatre, and Writing Wost Non-Magical Talent: Dancing Special Possessions: She wears a silver chain with an emerald pendant on it. Her father gave it to her just before she boarded the train in her first year and told her that it belonged to her mother. The gem has the rune 'Ihwaz' engraved into it in silver and she was told that it was a form of protection. She also owns a silver bracelet with a charm in the shape of a phoenix. Greatest Fear: Losing those she calls family whether they are related by blood or not. Dreams for the Future: Elena dreams of either working for the ministry in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures or in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries as a Healer on either the Third Floor (Potion and Plant Poisoning) or the Fourth Floor (Spell Damage). Though out of the two career choices, she would much rather work in St. Mungo's.
