    Tamsin Skeeter
    #1
    In Character

    Full Name: Tamsin Maria Skeeter.

    Nicknames: Tams.

    Birthdate: 1st April, 1868.

    Current Age: 16.

    Occupation: Sixth Year Student.

    Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff.

    Wand: Holly, 12 inches, whippy, unicorn hair. She is right handed.

    Blood Status: Half blood.

    Social Class: Middle class.

    Appearance: Blonde and delicate, Tamsin has her mother’s looks combined with her father’s clever eyes; hers are light green and standing at 5'4, with pale skin and a slender figure she is a remarkably pretty girl and she is very aware of that fact. Tamsin dresses well and has a knack for complimenting her features instinctively and she finds girls who don't care about their appearances to be abhorrent.

    History:

    1868: Born the youngest child and only daughter of Maxwell and Martha Skeeter, Tamsin is spoilt from birth and absolutely doted on by parents and brothers alike, although the latter may come to regret that in later life.

    1874: Displays magic for the first time by first picking a rose for her mother that wilts within a few days. When one of her brothers gets Martha a new bloom she cries and makes her rose blossom again.

    1879: Attends Hogwarts and is sorted into Hufflepuff, a great honour for her as it was the house of both her beloved parents. Tamsin's life is largely ordinary, she is a bright pupil that couples this with effort and as a result she is a successful student, perhaps more so than many of her brothers.

    1884: In the spring her oldest brother Archie's wife Irina dies in childbirth, plunging her mother in sadness that annoys Tamsin somewhat - it wasn't like Irina was actually her daughter - and after a summer spent at home with a sick, miserable mother she is keen to get back to school where she likes to think she rules the roost. She doesn't, her roommates are aware that she is manipulative little thing and treat her accordingly. She ignores this and likes to pretend she is super popular!

    Personality: Spoilt but not ovely unpleasant Tamsin is a clever girl with a lot of ideas about what she deserves in life. Marrying well is her prime objective due to the joint examples of her well-respected married mother and her oft-ridiculed, spinster aunt. She'd rather be like the former than the latter and is quick to take any opportunity that might lead to her goal. She is quick-witted and acts the part of the golden girl, but she is in fact rather lonely and longs to have someone that is just for her.
