Bio

Basics

BASIC;

Name:
Corinna Marie Blackwell

Nicknames:
Rin, Rinna, Rinny (VERY few can call her that without getting scarred)

Age:
20

Born:
October 29

Nationality:
English and, more importantly, Jewish.

Gender:
Female

Blood:
Muggleborn

Place of Birth:
Sheffield, England. Yes, she’s a Yorkshire lass.

Education:
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (1969-1977, Ravenclaw House)

Sign:
Scorpio

Scorpio is the eighth house of the Zodiac and governs the genitalia. Positive traits include magnetic charisma, ambition, drive, a penetrating mind, curiosity, intensity of focus, emotional depth, consistency, persistence, willpower, and the potential for inner transformation and regeneration; negative traits include selfishness, obsessiveness, vindictiveness, hypersensitivity, ruthlessness, cynicism, an inability to understand the word "moderation," and jealousy. It is said that Scorpios embody both the best and the worst of all that are born under the stars, and that there are three kinds of Scorpios: wicked scorpions, cunning serpents, and saintly eagles. What each Scorpio becomes is entirely up to that Scorpio.

Curiosity killed the cat; satisfaction brought it back. If ever a wizard exhibited a danger of self destruction from too much knowledge, surely it was a Ravenclaw Scorpio. It doesn't matter whether the pet obsession this week is botany, Muggle pop music, or the history of the Necronomicon, if a Ravenclaw Scorpio wants to know about it, then he will, and damn the consequences: full speed ahead. Indeed, just mention that a subject is "forbidden" and you'll see a peculiar light shine in their eyes. They sneak into locked rooms after dark, and forge passes to the restricted library sections. The lust for arcane knowledge is both the greatest strength of these wizards, and the Achilles heel. It's best to indulge them whenever possible and let the obsession burn itself out; and, when this is not possible, to explain in great detail and absolutely *no* patronizing why the subject must not be explored. These Ravenclaws are quiet and secretive, but don't be fooled by that calm and placid exterior; they have hidden depths.

MAGICAL;

Wand:
Maple and Unicorn Hair, 8 inches

Strengths:
Rin will only be good at what she likes because she simply will not put the effort in otherwise. She sees it as a waste of her time. That being said, she’s fantastic at Potions, Ancient Runes and Herbology. She also has an interest in Psychology and prides herself on her ability to see through people.

Weaknesses:
Wandwork, period. Like to the point that she doesn’t even bother trying anymore.

Classes:
Potions, Transfiguration, Herbology, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Ancient Runes

Patronus:
Crane. It symbolizes solitude, independence, messenger, communion, higher state of consciousness, wisdom, knowledge.

Animagus:
None

PHYSICAL;

Height:
5’1”

Weight:
112 lbs.

Build:
Everything about Rin is tiny but her chest and her eyes. She likes the latter, but the former? Just a nuisance and incredibly disproportionate.

Eyes:
Wide honey coloured eyes that are always shining with curiosity. Or laughter, if her friends are around.

Hair:
Medium length, curly and chocolate brown.

Face & Complexion:
Dark when compared with the typical British person, but only because she spends most of her time outside.

Eyesight:
Less than 20/20, but she only needs glasses for reading.

Hearing:
Perfect. She tends to hear more than she should. Of course that’s only because studying people is her favorite thing to do, and she can’t do that if she doesn’t listen.

Left/Right/Ambi:
Left-handed.

Disabilities/Handicaps:
None

Physical Health:
Very. She eats healthily and loves to run around outdoors. Though her position in Quidditch leaves her prone to injuries.

Defining Marks:
She has freckles, but they’re few and far between and very randomly placed.

Dress Style:
Classy, yet slightly provocative. She really can’t help it. She’s lucky if she can find a shirt to fit her at all, let alone a tasteful one.

General Description:
Rin’s medium length chocolate brown hair, tan skin and honey colored eyes give her an innocently sweet look about her. It also doesn’t help that she’s ridiculously tiny. At about 5'1" and 112 pounds, she is anything but threatening, which doesn’t help matters when she’s trying to intimidate. She tends to wear clothes that appear the teeniest bit provocative, but she really can’t help it; they’re the only clothes that fit her! Her chest is disproportionate to the rest of her, so can she really help it if she shows a little cleavage? She’s the farthest thing there is from slutty though; her almost childlike face doesn’t belie her.

PSYCHOLOGY;

IQ: Untested, but high. Despite her low grades, Rin is rather intelligent. She just doesn’t apply herself unless it’s something she wants to learn.

Introvert/Extrovert: Extrovert. The only way to study people is to talk to them, get to know them. Therefore she has no problem opening up and talking to anyone, especially the intriguing ones.

Pessimist/Optimist: Optimist, but a cynic at the same time. On one hand, she sees all the good in the world, on the other, all that’s bad in it. Comes with the whole perceptive, intuitive future psychologist gig. She knows that the world is bad for now, but also see what potential the future holds.

Phobias/Fears: Rin, like most everyone really, fears losing loved ones. She has an extreme aversion to spiders. Most of all, however, Rin fears losing her rationality, her ability to think clearly. Without that, she feels she’s lost her sense of self.

Mental Health: Apart from her need to know anything and everything, very stable.

PERSONALITY;

Goals/Dreams:
She wants to become a Psych wizard.

Quirks/Habits:
Rin comes off way too strong, even though she doesn’t try to, and this tends to get worse when she gets nervous or upset. She tries to compensate for how she feels by acting like things are better than they are. She also bites her nails when she gets antsy. Not to mention, the Yorkshire accent and dialect that has neutralized itself after seven years in Scotland with various other accents comes back in full when she’s angry.

First Impression:
...what is wrong with you?

Strengths:
1.) Reading. Especially Psychology. She lives to learn as much as she can about the human mind. There are times when she forgets to go to class because she's reading something so interesting. Rin spends more time reading and analyzing people around her than she does on her classwork.
2.) Writing. Not necessarily creative, of course, but Rin loves to write long, wordy analysis papers on her "subjects".

Weaknesses:
1.) Mental Disorder. Rin has a Rubik's complex. No, this isn't the exact Psychological term for it, simply the best way to describe it. She absolutely NEEDS to have an answer to everything; to solve the puzzles. This is partially why she loves Psychology so much. It tells her why people react the way they do instead of just leaving things to interpretation.
2.) No common sense. This goes hand in hand with her curiosity. She simply does not know when to stop digging for answers. She can't stop. And most people don't like their secrets and motives unearthed. This is probably going to end up getting her killed some day.

Likes:
Fighting for the underdog, studying people, being with friends and family

Dislikes:
Being forced to learn, spending money, judgmental people

General Personality: The easiest way to describe Rin is "basket case". She's one of the spazziest people you'll ever meet and can change moods at the drop of a hat. Though she denies it, she's a bit of a prude. Not so much because she thinks sex is a terrible thing, but because she doesn't see the point of discussing it in public like many others do. And she's just waiting for the right person rather than sleeping with every bloke that comes around.

Rin is also your stereotypical Jewish girl. Saving every penny she earns, looking for the best deals and everything. Things were never handed to her as a child, so she knows she has to work to survive, and always have a reserve of money.

Her biggest downfall and strength is her kindness and her willingness to see the good in anyone. She refuses to believe that anyone can be all bad and this will surely lead to her being manipulated by stronger, smarter and cruel people. She won't avoid people just because popular opinion states that she should. She knows that society can be flawed and heartless, so she doesn't follow it.

Another problem of hers, which is also the reason she was sorted into Ravenclaw, is her curiosity. She was the kid who asked a billion questions and always got into everything. She was the teenager who liked to observe everyone around her and take things apart to tinker with them. She is now the adult that's studying to be a Psychwizard because of her insatiable interest in the workings of the human mind. The saying bears true that curiosity can kill the cat, though not literally. She's managed to get herself into some interesting circumstances but somehow stays away from the near death experiences. She does know when to stop crossing lines.

Yes, she is intelligent, but sometimes the common sense just isn't there. Don't let the dark brown hair fool you. She may be a Claw at heart, but she does have blonde moments.
