Name: Margaret Jane Braxton
House: Slytherin
Year/Age: 15/5th
Face/Celebrity: Kiko Mizuhara
Blood: Muggle Born
Sexuality: The heart wants what it wants.
Wand: 7.5 inches made of sturdy and reliable plumwood and augurey tail feather core. Characteristically it's fairly plain and smooth aside from a small split at its hilt that occasionally burns her palm while casting. In terms of casting it can be a little stubborn so Margaret practices magic frequently. Once it produces, however, it packs a punch.
Personality:
Most people at school tend to avoid Margaret, especially after her third year where she attempted to fake her own death and held a rather elaborate funeral ceremony and showed up in a relatively unconvincing disguise consisting of a green wig and a trench coat. Needless to say, they think her odd. Not as odd as some - Like Batty the Hufflepuff - but odd enough to make people uncomfortable once they begin learning her idiosyncrasies. She comes off friendly enough and navigates herself just fine on a superficial level, but it becomes painfully clear that the girl has some unresolved issues. For instance, no one really knows much about her family. Depending on who you ask they can be anything from Russian spies sent to infiltrate the Ministry to Japanese Dragon Hunters that perished at the hands of a Peruvian Vipertooth.
But it's not just herself that Margaret lies about. She lies about virtually anything and gives very little reason to her motivations. This becomes especially problematic considering she actively writes for The School Newspaper and frequently publishes not just false but absolutely asinine articles about both students and professors alike. Generally, when confronted, she just shrugs her shoulders and lies some more.
To be perfectly honest Margaret loves telling stories. Lively and dramatic ones that can feel and sound real. Better yet, she loves when people believe them. The more ridiculous the better! She can't really recall when she began the habit, reckoning it was at a fairly young age and caused quite a bit of confusion amongst her guardians.
Because of her tendency to lie, Margaret is difficult to get close to and has very few close relationships, although she did briefly have a close knit group of friends during her first year. When she's not pestering someone for a story she can be found holed away in the schools reading room devouring book after book. During these times she can swing from the effervescent to a rather morose and lonely teenager, but generally does a pretty good job at hiding away when these mood swings come into play.
Likes: books, surprises, hot tea loaded with honey, talking on the phone / by fireplace / whatever for hours and hours, vandalizing school property, museums and she especially likes greek / roman statues, attention (until she doesn't), RED WINE, staying up all night for a few days and then crashing, faking accents, shamelessly flirting with everyone, she has a weird fascination with death but not like the actual decaying part. rather, she obsesses over the imprint death leaves on the world.
Dislikes: pants
Favorite Class: Herbology it's really calming ok
Least Favorite class: Divination
