Name (First and Last): Dakota May Graven
Age: 15
Year: 5th
Blood: Pure
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Wand: 9 3/4 inches ~ Willow ~ Veela hair core
Apperance (Picture Please, can just be a description too):
Pet: A tiny black and white male kitten named Marcus, after her dead father and a Great Grey owl named Julius
Family: Mother: Julia Ann Graven, 34, Ministry Worker
Father: Marcus Jonathon Graven, deceased
Personality:Dakota has changed greatly from that naive girl she had once been and has become more cynical and mistrusting of others. She tries not to show her feelings to anyone she doesn't know and has created a mask that she lets fall over her face whenever she is feeling vulerable. She still feels like she needs to belong somewhere though and she tries to slip into groups of people who could accept her or even look up to her. It is one of her flaws that she is trying to fix, she doesn't want to need anyone, but it is a slow road.
It is very difficult to get Dakota to trust you and even more difficult to become her friend but once you do, her mask slips a little and she lets you see the real her. She is still a sweet person who misses her father and for a rare few people she will actually show that. Once you are her friend, you are her friend for life and she will do anything for you. As difficult as it is for her to become someones friend, it is even more difficult for her to fall in love though she constantly wants to. She constantly wants someone she can love as much as her parents loved each other but her nature stops her from activetly looking for someone. Generally she just lets things fall as they are and then deals with them.
Flaws: Cares too much about fitting in, tends to shut off from others, her whole goal in life is revenge
Past: Julia and Marcus met at Hogwarts where they were both Slytherins. Their relationship developed over the years and they got married directly after they graduated. They were desperatly in love and seemed to forget about life around them when they were together. Within two years a little girl was born to the couple and they were ecstatic over the fact that they were starting their family. They didn't realize that their happiness was about to end. Right after Dakota was born Marcus' father forced him to get his mark and serve the Dark Lord.
About a year later the Dark Lord was defeated by a little boy, barely older than an infant. In the after math the Ministry started rounding up the Death Eaters and for a while it seemed that Marcus was safe because there was no one who could really place him as a DE. On Kota's fifth birthday, during her party Ministry workers stormed the manor she lived in and dragged her father off. She threw herself at the invaders, beating them with her tiny fists while yelling at them to leave her daddy alone. The Aurors, of course, didn't listen and while one of them restrained her, the others took her father away, leaving the little girl sobbing in her mother's arms.
The next week there was a trial where Aaron was accused of following the Dark Lord and Dakota knew she had to go, to support her father. She watched helplessly as her father was convicted and sentenced to the Dementor's Kiss. The young woman broke free of her mother's arms and ran to the judge to beg him to let her father go free. He just stared down at her like she was a piece of filth that needed to be removed. The future Death Eater barely got to hug her father goodbye before he was taken away for the Kiss. She has never forgotten, and probably will never forget, that short week in which she lost her father.
The next years were filled with her mother's love as the older woman tried to make up for Kota not having a father in her life. Dakota loved her mother but she always missed her father and always wished there was a way she could get them back. When the young girl turned ten, one day when she was in her father's study talking to his picture, her mother came in and just watched her daughter for a moment. Eventually Kota turned to her mother and said, very calmly, "Mother, I will avenge his death. I will carry on his beliefs and, if I ever get the opportunity, I will carry on his goals." They were simply words but they said so much. It wasn't long before her mother, hesitantly, began teaching her about the pureblood lines and the Dark Arts. Even after she went off to Hogwarts she continued to try to learn spells to get revenge.
At the age of eleven, Dakota got her letter from Hogwarts and she immediatly prepared to go to the school. She was eager to learn more about the world she was raised in and she wanted to learn more spells she would be able to use to get her revenge. Dakota had changed alot from that naive little girl she had once been, innocently begging the government to gave pity on a former Death Eater with a young daughter, and she had matured. She was ready to face the world that had let her down at such a young age.
Sample Roleplay(At least two paragraphs & of your character):
It was early in the morning when Dakota slipped from the Slytherin common room and out into the dungeons, her little kitten following right at her heels. She pulled her robes tighter around her to stave off the cold of the dungeons as the young woman started walking, heading in the direction of the nearest set of stairs. It was around six thirty, probably when most students were getting up but Kota had always been one to sleep less than the other students.
The fifth year continued moving up flight after flight of stairs, not really paying attention to how many it was. Eventually she moved off the stairs and just walked along a corridor. A soft meow brought Dakota out of her gaze and she quickly looked down at her kitten. "Hey Marcus," she whispered as she leaned down to gather the cat in her arms. She went to the closest window and sat down in the sill. Kota stared out the window over the grounds as she pet the soft, tiny cat in her arms.
