First and last name: Callisto Virginia G. Rinestone (If anyone here has ever read my HP fanfic, they'd know exactly what was coming x3)

Year: First

Appearance: Callie is rather short for her age, with a small, skinny frame. Her hair is usually midnight black, but after the Animagus potion accident (see History), her hair color switches to flaming red with golden streaks when she is being emotional. Her eyes are a deep, dark brown so dark that they look black, but like her hair, change into a different color - molten gold with the whites barely showing - when she is feeling emotional. Callie's cheekbones are somewhat high, and she almost always keeps her long hair let down. Pale white scars that came from self-harm, often hidden by the sleeves of her robes, run from the tips of her fingers to her shoulders.

Her Hogwarts uniform's skirt is somewhat longer than the other girls' skirts, as she lengthened it using magic, feeling that the skirt was too revealing. Like all Hogwarts students, Callie wears the standard uniform for her gender and the standard black robes when outside of the dorms. She always carries the friendship bracelet from Dustin in her pocket, despite their fall-out when they were ten.

Wand type: 11 and 1/2 inches, aspen wood, phoenix feather core, unbending

Heritage: Callie descends from two of the so-called "Sacred Twenty-Eight" pureblood families, the Fawleys and the Selwyns. The bloodline remained "pure" (You know how pureblood maniacs often disown and remove any evidence of their family mixing with ones with "tainted blood"), until during Callie's grandfather's generation when the remaining descendants including her grandfather rebelled and married into the "tainted" and Muggle lineages.

As a pureblood lineage of wizards and witches, some of Callie's ancestors dabbled in Dark Magic, and were known to support Grindelwald at his time of power. Thousands of books about the terrible magic are stored in the attic of Callie's father's house, where Callie and her cousins often stay at. Being the bookworm among her cousins, Callie has an unbelievable amount of knowledge on Dark Magic and can actually be considered an expert on the subject. However, she absolutely detests the usage of it. "These kinds of knowledge...they're meant to be never used," she'd warned her cousins.

House: Gryffindor, only because she threatened to curse the Hat if he put her in Slytherin

History: Callie had had a happy childhood until she turned ten, when her parents divorced. Things began to go downhill from there, and along the way Callie was diagnosed with depression. Soon after she got her Hogwarts acceptance letter, her mother disowned her, realizing that Callie would take after her father no matter what.

Callie had been amazing with brewing potions and performing spells even before she got her letter. Her older cousin, Veronica, had repeatedly owled her for help on Potions while she was at Hogwarts. When Ronnie came back home with a T in Potions, Callie decided to help her by helping her make a potion for extra credit - the Animagus potion, which was required for the process to become an Animagus. [OOC: Becoming an Animagus was only mentioned as being an incredibly difficult process, and since potion-making isn't easy at all, I guessed that it would be part of it.]

But Callie, poor Callie, had accidentally added a very, very dangerous ingredient without knowing. At age ten, it seemed that Callie had managed to make one of the most difficult potions ever. Things took a turn for a worse when Callie sampled the potion, and realized that she had made a better potion - one that automatically started the Animagus process instead of just preparing the body for the process. Callie woke up the next day, had a fleeting depressing thought, and her hair and eyes changed color. Her dad, who worked at Hogwarts as the Transfiguration professor, was forced to rush home and take her to St. Mungo's. They discovered she had depression, and realized that once started, the Animagus process could not be stopped, only postponed.

A guilty Ronnie took the potion as well, believing she should suffer along with Callie, because if it were not for her terrible grade in Potions, Callie would have never tried the Animagus potion. Bella, Ronnie's younger nine year old sister, took the potion as well, wanting to give her sister and cousin support. Callie stashed away the remaining potions in the attic of her dad's house, hoping that no one else would find them. The Ministry took an interest to these, and despite several attempts, did not manage to take one for examination.

And because I've typed already all that, too tired to explain her and Dustin's shattered friendship. To be RP'd.

Blood-type: Half-bloodish, though I prefer the term quart-blood (as her father is a half-blood and her mother is a Muggle)

Love Affliction: Well. She has a crush on her childhood friend Dustin, who goes to Durmstrang so yeah not much romance there. Also they fell out shortly after her parents divorced.

Personality: As mentioned before, she has depression and has had a rough past two years. She's pretty distant to most people, quite shy, but if you persist on trying to know her, she'll eventually open up as the happy-go-lucky girl she used to be. She absolutely LOVES learning new things, and is a whiz at most subjects. She is a talented and skilled potion brewer, and is showing great potential in spellcasting. She's extremely harsh when you get on her bad side, and she has quite the temper as well. Nevertheless, she will gladly help out struggling students with their homework as long as they don't annoy her too much.

Pet: Dun dun dun duuuunnnnn...a female phoenix named Psio!
