ESMERALDA CAVENDISH MYNK
CANON OR ORIGINAL:
AGE: THIRTY-SEVEN
FACE CLAIM: Lana Parilla
YEAR: Adult
HOUSE: N/A for non-Hogwarts student
OCCUPATION: Professor of Divination at Hogwarts
BLOOD TYPE: Pureblood
WAND TYPE: 12 inches, Holly, Veela Hair
PETS: A bombay cat named Medusa
ABILITIES: Esmeralda is a Seer, inherited from her mother.. In fact, she comes from a long line of witches gifted with the Inner Eye. However, given the rarity of seers, only one is her family per generation has the gift. Esmeralda can see into the future using a number of objects, from the standard crystal balls to something as simple as a cup or bowl with certain potions, and on occasion in the eyes of a wizard or witch. She also has an Animal Affinity for felines. She also inherited this from her mother.

LIKES:
-A good tea, whether it be alone or with others. Her favorite time of day is often tea time.
-Female students. She doesn't despise male ones or anything, but given the females in her family are seers, she tends to see more potential in her Divination Class in the girls.
-Felines, not just because of her animal affinity to them, but also because of their symbolism in many cultures such as that of the Ancient Egyptians.
DISLIKES:
- Disbelievers in Divination. This particularly involves those who scoff at her own predictions and prophecies. She often can't help but hide a smile when a dark prediction comes true for one of them.
- Idle rumors- especially about herself or one of the other Professors. She feels all the staff at Hogwarts deserves the utmost respect, and will deal with those who say nasty things about them.
- Spicy food. Bottom line, she's allergic to it.
BIGGEST FEAR: Her biggest fear is seeing her own future. While there is the potential all will be well for her, she dreads the other potential that it will not be. She has looked at the fortunes (and misfortunes) of many, but has never dared to discover her own.
PERSONALITY:
- Mysterious. As many seers are, she has an air of mystery about her in her words and actions.
- Helpful. Despite the fact that she gives some students bad vibes, she is actually quite willing to help a student in need, offering advice that might change any bad fortune they have.
- Cool and Collective- Little angers her. While she has the dislikes mentioned above, she is slow to outwardly loose her temper.
- Decorative- Esmeralda has a unique eye for decoration. At times it's a bit dark, but always fascinating. Her office is a sight to behold.
- Brave- Whether it's not being afraid to speak her mind or standing up for Hogwarts should another attack ever come upon it, Esmeralda is a courageous soul, willing to fight for and protect what is right.

MOTHER: Morgana Mynk
FATHER: Cillian Mynk
SIBLINGS: Rubious Mynk (Twin Brother), Saffira Mynk (Younger Sister), Diamante Mynk (Older Brother)
HISTORY:
Esmeralda Cavendish Mynk was born into a family of people who were somewhat nomads for a good while. This meant while they lived in beautiful manor houses or luxurious penthouses throughout Europe, they never stayed in them for more than a few years. They afforded such beautiful living temporary domains because wizards and witches came far and wide to make use of Morgana Mynk's gift as a Seer. Morgana, Esmeralda's mother, never exploited her gift by robbing anyone in need of their last galleon, but her fair price again allowed the family to do well for themselves, along with the work her father and older brother found from place to place.
The moving ended when Esmeralda expressed a desire to go to Hogwarts. Shortly after her family moved to London, Esmeralda heard remarkable stories about the school when she walked about in Diagon Alley. It was also around this time that it was discovered she had inherited her mother's gift of divination. Having admiration for the school themselves, her parents agreed their daughter's gift would be best molded at the school. And they were right.
Esmeralda was sorted into Ravenclaw, which helped add wit and wisdom to her gift as a Seer. Being a Ravenclaw pushed her to strengthen her mind in a number of her classes. The one she obviously sought to particularly excel in was Divination. Though Professor Trelawney was a bit odd to many and her methods (and sometimes abilities) questionable, Esmeralda strove to be a star student for her. Her hard work paid off when she was deemed a teacher's assistant in her sixth year. Also in her sixth year, she made the decision that she wanted to use her gift to help future generations. A few years after finishing at Hogwarts, she became fortunate enough to acquire the vacated position of Professor of Divination.
While she cherished her job (and of course continues to do so) and tried to aid her students as best she can with the paths ahead of them, Esmeralda became a bit more mysterious in her words and actions, taking on the traits of her mother and the female Seers before her. She wasn't dark or had any sinister intentions, though she at times apparently gave the students that vibe due to the idle rumors about what she did in private. Still, there are a good few students who see the real Esmeralda Mynk and have become quite fond of her.
