Name: Lyra Mcpherson
Cannon Character: No
Other Accounts on the Site: None. (Other Characters: obviously, Percy Weasley)
Age and Birthday: 16, 24th May
Blood line: Assumed Muggle-born, Actual Half-Blood
Sex: Female
Year: 7th
House: Hufflepuff!
School: Hogwarts
Standing: Order supporter
Pet: None
Broom: Cleansweep 9 - 2-5th year, Nimbus 2001 - 6th/7th Year
Personality: Lyra is often observed to be the quiet one of her friends, observing from both near and far. Often mistaken for the brainy one of her friends, people who had teased her about her reading habits would always get a shock when she reveales she is rather sporty. Wand or no wand, Lyra is quick to be provoked into a fight, even when the provoking is directed at her friends and not herself.
When not fighting or in classes, She likes to read novels and fan fiction, occasionally caught with a book while hanging out with her friends, thus giving off a 'bookish' impression.
In a fight, she favours the Reductor curse as a distraction, and her fists as the stunner.
History: Lyra was adopted at a very young age by a muggle couple.
Strengths: Lyra tends to think of her fists as her strength. She is very quick and accurate with her wand despite her much-limited repetoire of spells. This means she is less reliant on magic then many in the wizarding world, allowing her to sometimes sneak around places that are protected from magical means (such as alohomora) but not from muggle means (such as a lock pick.)
She is very observant, often described as very sharp.
Weaknesses: Her Memory. Despite reading her favourite book, 'The Adventures of Kevin Hunt book 3, The Escape from Alcatraz', so many times she suspects she's read it at least a hundred times, She still needs to look back to reference something when reading Fan Fiction based upon the series.
She is quick to be provoked into a fight, and has many a time gotten into fights due to it. She also has a very limited repertoir of spells. Also, her lack of reliance on magic means she often overlooks easier, and/or better, magical, solutions to problems.
Wand: 9 inches,
Appearance: brown hair that is super thin so very easy to handle, light blue eyes that makes her eyesight sensitive to light to an extreme. Almost pale skin, but healthy. Because she is quite tall (5'9") and thin (but not unhealthily so), with decent muscle development, she is quite flexable. When running, she appears to barely touch the ground.
(For real, I'm blue haired-brown eyed 5'9". wait... sorry, brown haired superlight blue eyed. I can not even look in any direction whereupon the sun is in my periphal vision without my eyes watering. but my hair is super thick. does my nut in.)
Picture:
Post Example: (this is taking into account of a Hufflepuff sorting, also what may be termed god-modding here is for the sake of the example, and assumed those characters aren't taken in the event that this may actually be used as an actual plot.)
Lyra looked from out behind the empty portrait, making sure there wasn't anyone out in the dark hallway. "All clear." She whispered to her friends. They nodded, and followed her out. She gently closed the portrait to, but not completely so she and her 3 friends would be able to get back in without needing the portrait guardian.
Creeping along quietly through the maze of corridors, the 4 eventually reached the Gryffindor Common Room portrait guardian, the Fat Lady. She too was not there. They smiled and opened the portrait/door, revealing that it too hadn't been closed completely. They crept through the empty common room, up the Boys dorm staircase, and entered the 6th year gryffindor boys dorm room. Quietly, they set up their prank, Putting up silencing charms as needed so as not to wake the 6 boys sleeping there.
When they had finished, they all crept back out, and did the same to the 7th year Gryffindor Boys dorm room, which had 4 empty beds. That dorm room too pranked, they left, not encountering a single waking soul.
As they made it back into the hufflepuff common room, They heard a shuffle of feet, and muffled grunts from the stairs leading down into the Hufflepuff girls' dorms. Smirking evilly to each other, they each cast silencing charms on themselves, and positioned at the top of the stairs, wands out ready to cast at a moments notice.
"Who'da thought the same boys-out ward was on these steps aswell as the gryffie girls' dorms?" Lyra heard a boy say.
"oh, shush will you, you'll get us into trouble for being in the wrong house common room." came the hushed, but still audible, reply, this time from a girl.
"both of you, shush. I don't like this. i mean, we didn't need the password we got out of that 1st year afterall, and you saw those beds. 4 empty."
Lyra shared a look with the other 3, evil smirks blossoming even more on their faces. As 2 girls appeared, carrying a boy on... on a Stretcher, 2 of the 4 hufflepuff girls unleashed a barrage of silencing, body bind and stunning spells. Lyra silenced and stunned the boy who was obviously in a body-bind on the stretcher. She and one of her friends, who hadn't cast a spell at any of the other pranksters, yet, levitated the group over to some couches. Lyra spotted a glint of something from the corner of her eye, and looked for what it was. She spotted it. An invisibilty cloak. Grinning, she went over and put it over her, and went down the steps, and observed 3 of the boys waiting as patiently as ever for their lift to return. Smirking, she got behind one of them, and did a rapid succession of silencing and stunners, pulling him under the cloak quickly before it was noticed. Her 3 friends came down, and immediately got the last 2 into a cross-fire. Lyra, seeing a chance to get them both in a way she had wanted to for awhile, put her wand into her wand holster, and made her way over, slowly and without a sound, thanks to the silencing charm. She smirked in a not so nice way, before knocking one of the boys out with a quick punch to the cheek and then grabbing the last guy from behind, before he was stunned by one of her friends.
They got the 6 gryffindors, 4 boys and 2 girls, gathered in the common room when the teacher came in. He gave them a grin, and said, "Round 2 to Hufflepuff. and girls? 20 points each. Taking out 6 7 years out, when you're 6th years yourselves... Excellent. And Lyra, Did you really need to punch Mr Gibson that hard?"
