    In Character

    Full Name: Sarah Allen.

    Nicknames: Sass, by those she likes.

    Birthdate: 21st January, 1855.

    Current Age: 30. Fucking 30 Beanie! I didn’t know she was so old – damn youuuuuu!

    Occupation: Post Office Employee.

    Reputation: 5.

    Residence: Went Street, Slums.

    Hogwarts House: Gryffindor.

    Wand: Holly. 13 inches. Dragon heartstring core. She is right handed when she bothers to use her wand.

    Blood Status: Half Blood.

    Social Class: Lower class.

    Family:
    Mordecai Allen | Father | Died 1884
    Rebecca Allen | Mother
    Jethro Allen | Brother | 1862-
    Daniel Allen | Brother | 1867-

    Naomi Allen | Cousin | 1853-
    Joshua Allen | Cousin | 1858-
    Adam Allen | Cousin | 1865-

    Appearance: Honey blonde hair and grey-blue eyes, Sarah has reasonably pale skin, though she tans very quickly when exposed to sunlight she’s not a vampire though, I swear by the ratios and she has an almost permanent expression of mild irritation. Standing at 5’3 she is slender, tending towards thinness and always endeavours to make herself look presentable.

    History:
    1855: Born into the cold January months in Bradford if Sarah had been old enough to witness her own birth she would have said it was typical that it was raining at the time.

    1862: Her first sibling, Jethro, is born and this coincides with Sarah using magic for the first time and deciding only to use her powers for good and to protect her baby brother.

    1866: She receives her Hogwarts letter and attends in the September, being sorted into Gryffindor and really quite happy about this fact. She makes friends, ignores the fancy girls in their fancy robes and though she never causes real trouble, she does occasionally get in trouble for being a smart arse.

    1867: Another sibling is born. Another silly brother. Woooo!

    1868: Her cousins move in. Though she wants to be annoyed Sarah takes pity on them and makes sure they all have socks for the winter.

    1869: No great scholar, though she does enjoy school and is quite clever at practical matters, Sarah leaves school and gets a job at the Apothecary.

    1874: Jethro gets his OWLS and Sarah cries. One of her baby brothers is a genius!

    1877: Bloody muggles. They move to Hogsmeade and Sarah works in the Apothacary there until she gets really bored of slugs and leeches and finds the new girl too cheerful.

    1883: Sarah begins work at the Post Office with her old schoolfriend and fellow Gryf Veronica Cooper. Win.

    1884: Papa Allen dies in the plague. Less win.

    Personality: Aloof and subtly judging you at all times. Disposed towards pessimism. Maternal. Quite pleasant once you’re her friend. Enjoys a cigarette and a pint and tends to see herself more as one of the boys, although she dislikes men intensely when they get too close. Bit gay. Lauren will add the backstory of that as it occurs to her

    Sample Roleplay Post: See Helena.
