Appearance: With dark hair and green eyes and a smattering of freckles across her cheeks, Cora is a pretty young woman though she has never considered herself as such. Her freckles are a constant source of contention and she believes herself much too plain to be attractive. She stands at an average 5’3” and is relatively slim. She does not have the means to dress anything but plainly but even if she did she would favour plain colours and simple fabrics, preferring practicality to anything resembling high fashion. She is right-handed.
History:
1861 | Cora is born the only daughter of ___ and Nicola Japes; the latter married down in 1851 and therefore ‘doomed’ her children to a lower class existence.
1867 | Tired of playing with dolls when she would rather be playing more grown up games, Cora somehow manages to blow up her formerly favourite doll; her first use of magic.
1870 | Harland drops out of Hogwarts and pursues a professional Quidditch career. With the complimentary tickets he is able to procure, Cora enjoys attending some of her brother’s games.
1872 | Cora is invited to Hogwarts and is sorted into Gryffindor.
1875 | Isaac follows in Harland’s footsteps and drops out of Hogwarts and later settles into a low-stress career as a reporter/artist/writer. Cora thinks it is an utter waste of his intelligence.
1877 | Garrett drops out of Hogwarts and later works for the Ministry in some minor capacity he detests.
1878 | Despite her intelligence, Cora makes the decision to leave Hogwarts following completion of her OWLs in order to begin earning and contributing to her family.
1879 | After a six month internship, Cora begins working as a mediwitch.
1882 | Cora’s Uncle and Aunt are killed in an incident involving their fireworks. She tentatively contacts her cousins to offer her support in the aftermath, and is especially fond of Indigo. This is the same year she begins distilling firewhiskey in the basement of the house she shares with at least one of her brothers simply because the idea amuses her (and of course for the financial gain).
1883 | Indigo is expelled from Hogwarts following something of an explosion and is employed in the Apothecary. She does her best to drop in and visit her as often as possible.
Personality: Intelligent. Hard-working. Quick-witted. Intuitive. Caring. Sometimes bosses around her brothers. Doesn't have much time for stupidity. Has no intention of marrying up, ever.
