( AMORTENTIA) : Peppermint, Lilacs, and Ginger Bread Cookies.
( RIDDIKULUS! ) : Death Eaters, the fact that the war is over has not soothed her fears in the least. It usually manifests as a Death Eater wearing a mask with his/her wand pointed at her about to kill her. Before the war her greatest fear was having her wand snapped or failing all her classes.
She's never had the best luck with making Boggarts funny.
( EXPECTO PATRONUM! ) : A Cheetah, her greatest memory was of when she was told she was 'special' and that she was going to Hogwarts.
( DEMENTOR'S KISS ) : The terrifying moment when she received the letter that her magic was being held in question and that she should be aware of her upcoming trials for all Muggle-Born witches and wizards who were thought to have stolen wands. Umbridge later owled her telling her she was expected to attend a trial which, basically, would be her wand being snapped and her being made to forget about magic as a whole. She later went into hiding for this very reason.
( MIRROR OF ERISED ) : your character's deepest desire.
( PERSONALITY ) : in depth personality. at least two paragraphs, please!

( HAIR ) : hair length, color, style, how it is usually worn, how your character feels about it, etc.
( EYES ) : She has large almond shaped sea green eyes with long lashes that are the same redish color as her hair but the color is often covered in dark mascara.
( FACIAL STRUCTURE ) : Lisa has a soft oval shaped face with high cheekbones ending in a rounded chin. Her entire face is covered in endless freckles that cluster thickly on the bridge of her nose.
( BODY STRUCTURE ) : Lisa is petite and tapered with long arms and legs and almost looks lanky in build -- almost. She's just tall enough for her to look normal instead of lanky or odd like some of the shorter girls in her year who have long arms and short torsos. Standing at roughly 5' 5 1/2" in flats, Lisa is sort of tall and she knows it but refuses to outwardly accept that fact claiming she is simply normal and anyone who says otherwise is wrong. Weighing in somewhere between 100 and 120 pounds it's not hard to say she's skinny and but she prefers to call it petite. Muscles are an unheard of thing for Lisa making petite the sound word for her... If you overlook her height of course.
( ATTIRE ) : Muggle clothing, jeans t-shirts, skirts, flowing tops -- honestly there is no rhyme or reason to it. She owns jeans shorts, capri's, and regular jeans ranging in colors and length as well as a wide range of shirts though most seem to be leaning more to practical than stylish. Still she tries to keep up with the trends but it's not her top priority. She loves when it's warm enough she can wear short outside as Summer is her favorite time of year.
( PLAY-BY ) : your face claim, celeb, play-by, whatever you want to call it.

( PARENTS ) :
Mrs. Marie-Ann Turpin: 38; School Teacher
Mrs. Turpin and Lisa get along just fine when Lisa is back home for the Summer. Things have gotten a lot easier for Mrs.Turpin around the house since Lisa has gained magic and, when Lisa is there, often she doesn't have to do much housework. They have a good solid relationship that was tested when she went into hiding and her parents didn't hear anything from her until the very end of the year.

Mr. Gal Turpin; 40; Business Man
Mr.Turpin is a lanky balding man who works for a large company that Lisa can't ever be bothered to remember the name of. Their relationship is strained as Lisa never has to 'work hard and learn the value of a dollar' because she's magical and 'everything comes easily to her with a flick of a twig'. The strain only got worse from her going into hiding but even with all of the negative remarks they're still family and Mr.Turpin would take a bullet for his little girl -- magic or not!!

( SIBLINGS ) : None
( OTHERS ) : None
( HISTORY ) : Lisa Turpin was just a normal girl until her eleventh birthday drew near and she was revealed to be a witch. It came as a major shock to her family but eventually she was allowed to attend. She boarded the Hogwarts Express and snuck into a tiny compartment making friends with a few others her age. Later she was boarded in a boat, like all the first years, and actually rode one boat behind Harry Potter himself -- her companions instantly started whispering amongst themselves leaving poor Lisa in the dark since being a muggle-born she had no clue about anything (unlike Hermione she didn't do any research). She stumbled into the hall with her year mates and was eventually sorted into Ravenclaw making her feel special -- she must be pretty smart for a Muggle-born! Fun fact: she was the last of her year to be sorted into Ravenclaw.

During her first year Lisa finally learned all about who Harry Potter was and was shocked. She formed a tiny crush on him that year simply because he never seemed too full of himself and he managed to get onto the Quidditch Team in his first year!! This crush, however, was short lived as she saw him running around everywhere with none other than Hermione Granger (nevermind Ronald Weasley) not to mention almost all Gryffindor classes were with Slytherins while hers were with Hufflepuffs. As the saying goes, out of sight out of mind! First year ended with the-boy-who-lived defeating a troll, winning Quidditch games, and defeating he-who-must-not-be-named at Hogwarts! The crush was back (along with a few others girls).

Nothing exciting happened over the summer so she hardly remembers that summer at all. Her crush on Harry diminished greatly convincing her she only liked him for his fame and instantly ruined her crush on him making her feel weird.

Second Year finally came and with it her return to Hogwarts and her friends who had owled her like crazy over the summer. The ride was, for the most part, uneventful and soon she was returning to her dorm room, the whispers of Harry Potter driving a car into the Whomping Willow buzzing around. More than once she wished she was a Gryffindor so she could confirm it herself but her dormmate was twins with a girl in Gryffindor so they eventually confirmed it. That year creepy things started happening and Lisa was terrified for her life as a Muggle-born. Things got increasingly scary when Granger ended up in the Hospital wing and Lisa refused to go anywhere alone -- not even the library. Of course that year ended with Harry Potter saving the day again though her crush did not return.

That summer she actually spent it at the lake with her cousins hiding her magic from them.

The School Year rolled around, like it would for the next five ish years of her life and with it Lisa became a Third Year. Dementors attacked the train that year and, of course, Harry Potter was affected badly. It seemed that Harry never left the center of gossip once again. This year Sirius Black was out to kill everyone but on the bright note Lisa got to go to Hogsmeade!! The year passed with Sirius Black escaping, her Professor turning out to be a werewolf, and Harry Potter getting attacked by a mop of Dementors almost killing him. It was a pretty awful year on a whole.

Summer came and went and Lisa was another year older just in time to return to school! This year was amazing as a tournament was held at Hogwarts causing her to meet wizards from different places. This was also the year she lost complete interest in Harry Potter as he tried to gain another bit of fame by becoming a Champion. Lisa spent most of her year enjoying herself and wearing the Potter Stinks badge until Cedric asked Cho who asked her and her friends to drop them. She still has the badge tucked away somewhere but only for the 'Cedric is our Champion' phrase -- to honor his death that year. This was the year everything changed.

O.W.L fever struck the Ravenclaws hard as they fought to be the best during their Fifth Year -- Lisa was no exception. she hardly even knew what was going on gossip. Umbridge was insane and Lisa barely scrapped through her D.A.D.A O.W.Ls later learning Potter had a secret Club dedicated to learning what she needed and cursed herself for not listening to the whispered gossip and rumors later on -- she would have joined!!

Sixth Year coasted by without much happening for Lisa until the very end when Dumbledore died. She was horrified and nothing ever stayed the same after that. With Dumbledore gone Lisa's world was destroyed and she went home mourning and terrified what was going to happen.

She went back for her Seventh Year and things were very different. As a Muggle-born she was forced to register at the Ministry. It was all very scary and confusing as she was treated like dirt in all of her classes and used as a dummy in D.A.D.A for Purebloods and half-bloods to shoot at. She eventually took to the Room of Requirements when a letter arrived informing her that she had a trial date set for stealing her wand from a witch. Basically she was going to have to go to the ministry, have her wand snapped, and be obliviated to forget about magic. She wrote to her mother and father and was whisked away into the room of requirements for the rest of the year and, surprisingly not found and captured. She spent over half her Seventh Year trapped in a tiny room because Luna Lovegood saved her life though she was miserable for the most part. Some students got to come and go out of the room and she only saw the same four walls day in and day out. The silver lining was the fact she was there to fight in the battle of Hogwarts under Harry Potter and The Golden Trio. She was a lucky one and didn't die that night though so many did -- Lisa actually spent most of her time as a runner bringing back the dead and injured to the great hall while protecting it from Death Eaters who wanted to try and get in.

This year was going to be different if she had any say in the matter!
