Full Name: Esther Felicity Holmes

Birthdate: December 15th, 1875

Reputation: 4
Residence: Hogsmeade
Hogwarts House: Unknown
Wand: Unknown
Blood Status: Half
Social Class: Lower
Family: Grandparents, Aunt (Spinister), Two uncles (one married, one not), Father, Mother, Elder brother
Appearance: Esther is currently about four feet tall. Her hair is red and her eyes are green. Her wand hand is her left hand and her weight varies between 40-50lbs due to her slight frame and an absence of lavish foods. Esther's wild, curly red hair is normally tamed with a tight braid and hidden under a snood or bonnet of some sort. Her face is speckled with freckles and the occasional dirt or smudge mark.
History: Esther's family moved to Hogsmeade with the founding families and her father found a job as an employee at Whizzhard books. Her mother works as a house maid for a local family to bring in  enough to support the family. Over the summer Esther's elder brother works at the owl emporium and Esther sweeps the local shops to contribute to her family.
Personality: Esther is generally mild mannered and finds joy in the simple things. She is hardworking and will often tackle projects that are twice her size. Esther loves animals and will take kindness on the local strays muggle or magical that wander by.
Sample Roleplay Post: The floor felt rough beneath her hands and knees but with each swipe of the small brush the wood glistened slightly and felt smoother as the soapy bubbles purged the dirt and grime from the creases and cracks. Her hands stung where the soap bit at small cuts and blisters but she paid them little head. She had to finish this floor before momma called her home for supper or Mrs. Copper wouldn't pay her a dime. Increasing her pace two-fold, the small framed ten year old scrubbed harder at the floor and didn't stop until the entire store-room gleamed. She was sure glad Mrs. Copper only did major cleaning once a year even if it was a few more coins than for the normal sweep. Momma would be happy at least Esther thought to herself as she strained to pick up and carry the bucket of soapy water to dump it out the back stoop of the shop. Waiting for the garden gnomes to scatter before tipping the bucket to pour it out, Esther pretended not to notice as they scampered away with glee. Mrs. Copper always told her to try and splash them but that seem too nice to Esther. After all, they lived here too. Where else were they to go. She sighed and picked up the now much lighter bucket once more and trudged in to see how much the penny pinching shopkeep would give her this time.
