- - - - - - - - - - - - - -"Andrew Ollivander. What shall I say about him? Well to start, he's my father. He's also the owner of the famous shop Ollivanders. You know, where you buy your wands or get them repaired? Yeah, that one. Anyway, I'd like to say I'm pretty close to my father. Kind of a daddy's little girl, but not that spoiled. I just get on really well with him and I love being around him when I'm home.
After my oldest brother had died, he changed quite a bit, but I don't believe he ever truly disconnected from us. He's a great guy, really. But I'm bias cause he's my father."

B - Boggart
"Boggarts are the nastiest creatures I could know. Well, there are worse, but really? Taking form of someone's fear? It's disturbing and I don't care to ever be around one.
To be honest though, I'm not too sure what mine would look like. I have a pretty common fear of losing my family members and friends. Nothing else too exciting. However, my reasons for this fear are different than some, seeing as I've lost my oldest brother. I really do feel that if I lost anyone else close to me, I would just break."

C - Chocolate
"Oh my Merlin, I love chocolate. Really, it's that simple. Want to make me happy? Buy me something with chocolate in it. It's really a wonder why I'm not fat. I mean, I eat so much of it. Maybe I just have a really good metabolism. Who knows, but yeah, anything chocolate is great."
D - Dolohov
"So, the Dolohov name just doesn't sit well with me if I'm being completely honest. They've lived next door to my family ever since we were little, but there's just something about them that spooks me, or doesn't seem right. However, there is one family member that I quite like. Her name is Aisling Dolohov and she's been best friends with Xochilt since forever ago. We weren't ever that close, but I'd like to think we were close enough. I never had a problem with her.
And now, we're in the same house as each other. Well, we have been since first year. Ravenclaws are the best after all, that's why I was put there. I'm just kidding, I don't discriminate against houses. After all, my sister is a Slytherin. But anyway, back to Aisling. I just really like that girl. She's always been nice to my sister and there for her when I couldn't be. I am a bit suspicious, only because like I said the last name spooks me, but I don't let that overrule the fact I enjoy her company as a friend."

E - Easygoing
"Easygoing. That's one trait I'd like to think I have. I'm a pretty upbeat and cheerful person most of the time. Really, I'll befriend anyone as long as they don't do anything to harm those I care about, or myself. Not to mention, it takes a lot to really offend me or make me angry. I don't like to be angry, therefore I take a deep breath and move on. If someone starts to push my buttons, I'll either tell them calmly to stop, or I'll just walk away. It's so much easier than getting into an argument or fight, so I take the relaxed approach. Don't think I'm a pacifist though. By no means am I. I just prefer to stay out of drama.
Also, I tend to get along with a lot of people. I love making friends and going on outings to hang out outside of the castle. Parties are pretty cool as well. I don't drink or anything, but I like getting together with everyone."

F - Finicky
"I'm sorry, but I am really picky about certain things. I like things to be how I want them or it's just not happening. I mean, not in like relationships and stuff. I'm talking about object wise. I'm picky about the clothes I like and the objects I buy. I've been told I'm really hard to buy for because I'm just so picky. Same think goes for what I eat. If it's not cooked all the way, I won't touch it. If it looks or smells weird, no thank you. I can't help it. It's just the way I've always been."
G - Galaxy
"To be honest, and this might shock the lot of you, but one of my favorite classes is actually Astronomy. I absolutely love learning about the stars and everything else that comes along with Astronomy. It's just so fascinating to me. I think I might take up a career dealing with it when I graduate. I don't know. It seems like it might be a hard thing to find around the wizarding community, but I'm determined to do it!
On the class note though, I love the professor too. Professor Lockhart. He's a bit insane, or odd at times, but I absolutely adore him. He's got a good heart and if other students can't see that, well they can go somewhere. He's one of my favorite teachers and I honestly believe that while I loved learning Astronomy before him, he truly made me realize it was a passion of mine. For that, I thank him."

H - Habits
"Habits? What are these habits you speak of? Just messing. I actually have a couple of them. One of them being that I bounce my leg when I'm bored. I'm sitting down of course, but yeah that's one. Also, when I'm nervous I tend to bite my nails or fidget with something. I don't get nervous a lot, so that's not a fairly common one, but still noticeable. And last, which is probably my most common one, is I like to hum a lot. Sometimes I'll zone out and just start humming a tune, or when I'm bored I'll do it too. I can't help it. I love music and it gets stuck in my head and then BAM, I'm humming it."
I - Independent
"Independent is another thing I pride myself in being. I don't like help from others and most of the time I won't take it. It makes me feel bad, even when it's necessary. I like to do things on my own because it makes me feel accomplished and mature. I don't need someone hovering over me all the time, telling me what to do or to be careful or to protect me. Really, I can handle myself and I can figure things out on my own. I'm almost an adult, and I expect to be treated like one, not like a child."
J - Jack-o'-lantern
"What do you think of when you hear jack-o'-lantern? Well, I know I think of Halloween and I'm telling you right now, that's one of my favorite holidays. I absolutely adore Christmas, but Halloween is so much fun with the costumes and parties and candy. Remember, I like chocolate... There's usually a lot of chocolate. But yeah, I just love it all! Including the decorations and the scary movies or hayrides. It's great and so much fun! I can't wait until it comes around again. I need to figure out what I'm going to be this year."
K - Kiss
"Hm. This is quite an interesting one to talk about, don't you think? When I think of kiss, I think of my first kiss. Though, I don't even know if it would count as a first kiss because I had no participation in it. I'm being completely serious. There was this boy that I had known for the first couple years of Hogwarts. He was really nice and everything and I knew he had a crush on me, but I was really careful not to lead him on. Obviously that didn't work. We had this dance our fourth year and he just walked up to me and planted a kiss on my lips. Can you imagine my face? I remember feeling how my face might have looked. I was shocked and very unhappy about it. Right then I walked away from him and left the dance. It might have been a juvenilething to do, but he took my first kiss and I didn't eve like him or show any interest! That was the last time I spoke to him. I actually wonder what he's up to now. He was a year older, so he just graduated. Oh well, probably won't see him any time soon so I'm not worried."
L - Little brother
"One name. Xavier Lindon Ollivander. Scratch that. Two names. That and annoyance. I love my little brother, I really do, but he just loves to push my buttons and he knows how to as well. It wasn't as bad for me as it was for Xochilt, but he still got me fired up at times. But aside from that, I love the little bugger. He's a fifth year now and so handsome. He resembles our older brother a lot, but despite the pain, I still adore him. I'm very protective of him too, so if anyone were to hurt him, they'd be dealing with me. That might not seem so scary, but I really am not one to mess with when I am angry. I might not have a short temper, but I have a nasty one when it flares.
Anyway, he's in the same house as me, so I get to see him quite often. Well, more often than not. It's not like we have the same classes, but it's not a big deal. It gives us some distance so I don't have to deal with his craziness anymore. However, I have realized that he's calmed down some lately. I think something's on his mind and I hope he's alright. I love that boy to death and wouldn't wish any harm or sadness on him. I'd take it all for him if I could."

M - Metias Ollivander
"Metias... I miss him. He was our oldest brother and he was always there for us. No matter what was going on or what he was doing, he would drop it all to make sure we were okay. He was our protector; our confidant. I always felt like I could go to him for anything. I have so many fond memories with that boy, but sadly he was taken from us a couple years ago. He was murdered by the vampire that changed my sister.
I remember finding out about his death. At first, I was so shocked I didn't even cry. I didn't cry at his funeral either. But then it started to slowly sink in and I felt myself growing angry and sad and everything else all at once. It was like I was going crazy until one day... I just popped. I broke. I remember screaming and crying and telling him to come back. It was a rough moment for me, one I don't like to remember or really talk about. I trashed my room that day. Man was it a mess. I was like tornado Xarrah going through there, but it couldn't be helped. I miss him. Still to this day I do. Sometimes I find myself looking for him, but he's never there. I just wish there was a way to get him back. I loved my older brother, but he's gone now."

N - Nightwalker
"Vampire. Evil. Monster. Not my sister of course, but the one that caused so much grief for my family. After all, she wouldn't be one if it weren't for him and my brother wouldn't be dead either. If I ever find out who did it, I will kill them, I swear it. I don't care what happens to me but that thing will go down.
You probably wonder how I feel about other vampires don't you? Well, I'm not the fondest of them. Not since that incident, but I don't completely hate them. If they're nice, I'll befriend them. However, I am very weary at first and somewhat untrusting. It's not my nature to be that way, but because of one, it ruined it for all."

O - Oven
"I got this passion from my mum. I love to cook. I can cook anything really, and if I've never cooked it before, I will find a recipe to try it out. It's another thing I'm really good at and proud of. I like making deserts more than actual food, but I love cooking other things as well. Sometimes I'll sneak down to the kitchens at Hogwarts and whip something up for fun. It's weird, I know, but I just love doing it. I also adore making things for people. Sometimes I'll just randomly show up with cookies or something else just because I felt like baking something for someone. Maybe I'll do it as a side job one day. Who knows, right?"
P - Protective
"So, as I'm sure you can tell by now, I'm highly protective. It's not just of my family either. It's of my friends or anyone in general. I don't tolerate people messing with others and bringing them down just to help themselves up. It's sick and wrong. I can name one person that comes to mind as I tell you all this, but I'll get to him soon. But it's the truth, I'm really protective and will do anything for those I care about, especially my family. You mess with them, you mess with me and you will pay for it. Like I said earlier, don't mess with me. Better yet, don't test me. It won't end pretty. Hurting people is the one thing that can set me off without the initial buildup.. I will not walk away."
Q - Quick
"So, I don't really know how to explain this one. It's weird, but I've been told I'm pretty quick with most things. Quick-minded, quick to draw my wand, quick to come up with a spell, and quick to learn among other things. I can see where they come from, I suppose. I do learn things pretty quickly as well as I can come up with things in seconds flat. It all comes with the territory of being intelligent and determined. I work hard to be who I am and who I will be. I take the time to practice and learn what I need to, to make sure I am skilled enough and ready for anything. It's not good to be ill prepared. You never know what could happen."
R - Reinhardt
"Ugh.. another name that I just don't care for. However, with this one, there is no one I care about from the family. I don't know his father much, but Drew Reinhardt. What should I say about him? Well, he's pompous and arrogant. He's a total... No, I'm not going to curse because of him. He's just not a very nice person and I don't like that he's around Aisling so much. I worry that he'll corrupt her or even hurt her. And I know he doesn't like my sister because of the fact she's best friends with Aisling. If he says even one thing to her or touches her in anyway, he better sleep with one eye open. I cannot stand that boy and the way he thinks. He acts like he's superior to everyone and to me he's the lowest of the low. But enough about him. He's not worth my time."
S - School
"Ah, Hogwarts. If you didn't know, which you should if you're reading this because no muggles should have access, Hogwarts is a school for witches and wizards. After going to the same school for six, now going on seven years, it becomes like a second home to you, and it has for me. I've made so many friends within the castle walls and I wouldn't trade them for the world. Nor would I the experience I've had at the school. I love it there, despite the jerks that roam around being jerks, but you know.. it happens.
As for my grades, I'm a Ravenclaw. You can't expect anything less than perfect grades. Every once and a while I've had a couple slip, but I've still done really well and gotten above average grades. They're important to me. It's important to me to do well and if I don't I'm hard on myself, so it's better to just do well the first time around."

T - Theatre
"It seems I have quite a few passions or hobbies doesn't it? Well, here's another one. I love, love, love theatre. Every part of it. I love acting and helping with crew and doing sets and costumes. The whole shebang! I mainly act when the opportunity arises, but I do a lot of the other stuff too. I've learned to paint and sew through it. It's a great experience. It was also the reason I took up piano. I can't sing worth a crap, but I can play a mean tune. I mainly use such a talent for the more musical plays, or musicals in general, but otherwise I just like playing during my free time too. It's just all so amazing. There really are no words for how much I love doing theatre."
U - Unyielding
"Yes, I'm stubborn. What else did you expect? I'm a redhead after all. Anyway, I don't let people push me around or push their beliefs on me. I don't back down easily and I'm strong-willed.. or hard-headed... whatever you want to call it. It takes a lot for me to give up on something if I'm determined."
V - Vienna Ollivander
"Vienna Ollivander, also known as mum. I love her very much. She's such a great and beautiful lady. I wouldn't want another mother. She's kind and strong, everything a mother needs to be. She's the one that taught me to cook when I first showed interest and ever since then, I haven't stopped. Both her and dad are amazing people and I would do anything for them. I miss mum the most when I'm at school. She's always so cheery, which is probably another thing I get from her. I just feel like I"m more like mum than anything, and I don't mind.
It broke my heart though, seeing her after Metias' death. She was so broken over it. I rarely saw her cry before, but after, she cried all the time. It really upset me, but there was nothing I could do. I just wanted her to be happy, you know? I missed the cheerful lady I loved so much. She's doing better I think, but it's still hard. Who can blame her for still having a hard time?"

W - Words of Wisdom
“Who are you to judge the life I live?
I know I'm not perfect
-and I don't live to be-
but before you start pointing fingers...
make sure your hands are clean!”
― Bob Marley
"I really do love this quote. It's by a muggle artist and yeah, he did pot or something like that, but he really had a lot of good quotes. I have a few quotes I like to remember and live by and this is one of them. I hate when people are judgmental and horrible to people. Like the quote says, make sure your hands are clean before you point fingers because you have no right if you're not the best person to start with. I think that's all I have to say about that."

X - Xochilt Ollivander
"This beautiful young woman, yeah, the one that looks like me; that's my twin sister. She's older than me by a couple hours, but I never cared. We were always so close as kids. I always felt like I knew what she was feeling and she could do the same for me. Sometimes we finished each other's sentences and just worked really well together. I love my twin sister and would do anything for her like I would any of my family.
After the attack though, it seemed like she became quite distant. I think she worries that we all blame her. I know she blames herself, but it's not her fault. I don't blame her one bit and I've told her that over and over again. And even though she's a vampire now, I still love her to death. It's not her fault she is what she is now. I miss my sister though. I hate that she pushes me away. I just want to be as close as we used to be. I really like Aisling, but I have to be honest. One thing is, I am jealous of the relationship she has with my sister. It's like the closeness we had, switched to Ais, even if they were friends for a long time. I just want to get back to normal, but I don't think that'll happen."

Y - Yoga
"Okay, so this isn't a passion of mine, but it's definitely a hobby. It's something I've learned to use to relax and keep myself balanced as well as calm about certain things. It's also helped me become more flexible, which doesn't matter too much I guess, but you never know. Anyway, I like to do some before bed and when I get up. It's really good for you. You should try it some time."
Z - Zodiac Sign
"Aquarius. That's my sign. Quite fitting that I would talk about this huh? But anyway, I really do believe this sign suits me almost perfectly. We're supposed to be clever and witty, as well as stubborn and other things. I am pretty much all that and sometimes can even be sarcastic which is listed as a usual trait for them. But honestly, who isn't sarcastic? It's a defense mechanism against stupid people. Sorry, I'm not mean, but seriously. Some people are just daft."
HEY MY NAME IS KAIT, AND I ALSO PLAY MANY OTHER CHARACTERS. I FOUND THE SITE THROUGH STAYING.
