In Character
Full Name: Reiko Jane Mountbatten
Nicknames: Rei
Birthdate: 15th July 1871
Current Age: 11
Occupation: Student
Hogwarts House: Unknown
Wand: Japanese Lillac Wood, 12inch, whippy, Kappa mane hair
Blood Status: halfblood
Social Class: Upper
Family: Admiral General Lord Eugene Mountbatten - Grandfather, General James Mountbatten - Father, Megumi Katsumo - Mother
Appearance: Reiko is a small and very petite person. She has a diminutive frame, and very slime shoulders. She is of average height for a girl of her age but she is overly slender, with waif like limbs. Her posture and poise make her seem smaller than she actually is, her hands clasped in front of her and vaguely hunched expression form sitting over computers or books for long periods of time. she has long slender fingers attached to think waif like limbs.
She has a vaguely elfin look about her. She has large expressive brown eyes that could look melt people with Doe eyes if only Reiko understood the concept of that sort of interpersonal manipulation. Her hair is long dark and sleek. It is always immaculately groomed and generally not a hair out of place. However on the rare occasion she looses her cool and gets stressed her appearance shows it. Her hair becomes fly away, pencils, pens and other random objects get stuck in her hair and get left there.
Her dress style is ultimately very conservative, a result of her upbringing. She wears modest dresses, and covering clothes. She seldom wears trousers and is a stickler for not wearing shoes indoors. Despite this however she likes bright patterns and designs. Blues and reds look especially good on her due to her skin tone. She dosnt set out to be alluring, and she dosnt go clubbing as she finds it a sensory overload so she never has to deal with the issue of what to wear to that sort of occasion.
History:General Mountbatten had been sent as an ambassador of England to Japan, at the time he was a mere major general, a commission purchased for him by his well to do family. However, he was a young man, simple, licentious and prone to following his lusts rather than his discretion. He had engaged with a young Japanese woman, not a relationship, merely a dalliance with a beautiful orchid of the east. He had not expected much to come of their interaction, he thought they would amuse each other for a time an then he would return to England with no one being the wiser. That was not, however, what occured.
His father, an admiral of the fleet, came to Japan to visit his son and it was at this time that the girl made a rather alarming pronouncement. She was with child and her contention is that it was his. His father, aware of the dangers of allowing a muggle woman to birth a magical child and not make provisions insisted that they keep an eye on her until the time the child was born. If she proved to be his, (as there was every chance that she 'entertained' more than one man) then provisions would be made.
At her birth Reiko was tested for magical ability and its presence comforted the Mountbatten patriarch that she was in fact his sons child. Her mother had hoped that he would be harangued into a marriage but it was not to be. General Mountbatten claimed his daughter as legitimate and left Japan when his commission was complete. Reiko never knew her mother but instead grew up in the magical society of her father. Well to do, high classed and aware at all times that her race made her very different to many children she was exposed to.
When she turned 11 she received her letter inviting her to Hogwarts, where her father and grandfather had both studied and she looks forward to the year ahead with excitement and keen anticipation.
Personality: [Optional.]
Sample Roleplay Post: The shop was quiet today. The delivery's had arrived yesterday and had been put away already. The rush for new garments for the season was over and so work had slowed. Yes there were still a few things on order, there were a few wedding dresses and a few orders for dresses that were supposed to be for guests of the wedding and wedding party but compared to the hubbub and rush of a few weeks before. The shop girl who had been wild and skittish when she had started had calmed somewhat now and didn't flee the shop floor when ever someone entered. The head seamstress had accepted Lissy's position as owner with greater ease now and the two had almost a comradely relationship. It had been that way since Lissy had made it very clear that she intended to take no part in the design or artistic end of the business...it was not her forte, and it helped that Lissy had taken the older womans part in an argument with a particularly arrogant customer.
Today she was setteled rather comfortably near the counter, where the shop girl dusted the till. Lissy sat at one of the cutting tables, a number of order papers arrayed around her taking note of the stock that had come in the day before and the notes that needed to be paid and in which order. It was a simple enough task and there was more than enough in the coffers to cover the orders. It was probably a task that could have been left to their accountants in London but Lissy liked to take some interest in it, to do the math herself and check the information herself before sending it on. She felt that when she was responsible for the livings of so many it was her duty to ensure that she was hands on rather than relying on others to do it for her. After all her father had always said that no one looked after your money but you.
Lissy barely lifted her head when the door jangled.
