Full Name: Oriana Nelson
Goes by: Ori or Ana, depending which group of friends you talk to. To people she’s just met, she goes by Oriana.

Gender: Female
Sexual Alignment: Asexual, biromantic

Hair colour and style: Blonde, although she dyes it sometimes. It reaches her mid-back, and curly. She usually leaves it long.

Eye colour: Light blue, almost grey.

Height: 5 foot 6
Body type: Average; she’s neither super skinny nor overweight.

Dress sense: It really depends on her mood. She either wears dresses or jeans and t-shirts, but she doesn’t have a favourite style per se.

Birthmarks: None.
Scars: Just the typical stuff from childhood.

Etcs: She has pierced ears and bellybutton.

Likes: (min 3)
- Having fun
- Reading
- Strategy games
- Ocean animals

Dislikes: (min 3)
- Being told what to do by people she doesn’t respect
- Heights; she’s afraid of them
- Wild parties
- Fur/animals with fur
- Meat (she’s vegetarian by choice, although not for any reason other than she doesn’t like the taste of meat.)

Strengths (min 3)
- Logic; she’s good at figuring things out logically.

- Cooking; she’s just got a natural flair for understanding the relationship between ingredients, and makes things work really well.

- She has the natural ability to see a situation and make an accurate judgement of it; she’s observant and astute.

Weaknesses: (min 3)
- A challenge; she will rise to the occasion, whether or not it’s smart to do so.

- A puzzle; she hates things being unsolved.

- Food, especially unusual combinations or ‘weird’ flavours.

Positive Traits (min 3)
- Humble; she doesn’t ever brag about any accomplishments she has. If she does a good deed, she sees no need to boast or shout about it. Not many people, therefore, know the extent of her abilities -- simply because she doesn’t talk about them.

- Adventurous, especially when it comes to food.

- Loyal, although only to her family. When she says family, however, she doesn’t just mean blood relatives, but rather those around her that she considers and loves like family.

Negative Traits (min 3)
- She can be rather self-centered, doing things that work in her benefit. With the exception of ‘family’ (see above), she’s willing to throw anyone and everyone else under the bus, including friends, if it means saving her own skin or that of a family member.

- While she can appear to be obedient and accommodating, Oriana has a problem with authority. If she doesn’t respect someone, she doesn’t listen to them (unless not obeying has negative results for her).

- A little too carefree at times; as long as she’s having a good time, to hell with what everyone else thinks or expects from her.

Age: 15
Birthdate: 28 April

Blood Purity: Halfblood
Abilities: Animagi -- her form is a white wolf

House:
Wand Type: Ebony wood, unicorn hair, 10 inches.

Strengths (min 3)
- Potions; she’s always had an inclination towards this subject.
- Transfiguration; she’s been obsessed with this subject since she was young, what with her father being an animagi himself.

Weaknesses: (min 3)
- Interestingly enough, Oriana is not good at charms. She can’t get a hang of the spells.
- Flying; the ocean, she can deal with. But she hates heights, and therefore flying is out of the question.

Oriana grew up an only child. Although her parents loved her, however, she was never truly spoilt, given more so what she needed than everything she wanted, and as such she doesn’t expect things to always go her way. With her dad working in the Ministry of Magic, Oriana often heard tales of their inner workings, and politics was a topic often brought up at the table. Her mother, on the other hand, was an ex-Professor at Hogwarts; an accident one holiday involving a dragon left her with permanent damage just after Ori was born. While capable of most things, a job was out of the question. Nevertheless, the money their father brought in was more than enough for them to survive.

When she was nine, one rainy day, she picked up a book on transfiguration and flipped through it. It wasn’t a book meant for her age, but an advanced reader, Oriana had long since been reading ‘difficult’ books, and saw no difference in this one. There was only one problem -- the book was meant for advance wizards, and when she came across the passage on becoming an animagus, she decided that it was an interesting idea and concept and, wanting to be like her father (who often turned into a raven for her amusement), she decided to try.

Luckily, her father caught her one evening in the garden, and after explaining how dangerous it was to try it without someone nearby, decided to give her lessons as soon as she was old enough. Making her promise not to try it herself again on the condition that he start teaching her as soon as she’d finished her first year at Hogwarts, her father took the book away and kept it under lock and key.

Her Hogwarts letter came, as expected, and Oriana left for Hogwarts. Sorted into Gryffindor, she quickly made friends (and enemies), her personality either liked or disliked; there was no in between for those that came into contact with her. As soon as her year finished, she reminded her father of his promise.

With his training and her natural skills, by Oriana's 15th birthday, she had become an animagus -- registered, of course, as her father insisted.

Now entering her 5th year, Oriana is trying to figure out what she wants to study when she’s done with Hogwarts while making the most of what she has left.
