Name: Danica Kiernan
Age: 23
Sexual Preference: Straight
Year: Staff, 1st year as teacher
House Desired: Ravenclaw (head of house)
Wand: 11 inches, walnut, Dragon Heart String core, Springy, Spiraled Shaft
Special Abilities/Talents/Affinities:
Danica has an affinity for Owls.
Character Traits, Attitude, General Bio:
Danica has medium length brown hair with subtle highlights. She stands about 5'7, but has a tendency to wear very high heels under her robes. She has green/hazel eyes with yellow flecks. She has two beauty marks on her face, one near her mouth on the right side, the other near her left eye. She has a fondness for the colors green and turquoise, and Prada bags to carry her spell-books and wand.
She is very much a Bookworm and enjoys reading immensely, books not only about magic but about art, art history in the Muggle world, as well as some literature known as Chic Lit. She also likes to think of herself as an artist. She currently deals with traditional mediums, mostly focusing on sketches for fashion designs, as was a former designer before position in the Wizarding world. She is currently working on a line of evening and day wear robes for a younger generation of wizards, in her spare time. She is often seen in the castle wearing the finished designs over her normal clothing.
Danica is surprisingly very light hearted, though somewhat bookish. She tends to be a loner, but once in a crowd has little to no trouble making friends. She seems to get along with everyone...save for the Potions teacher, but it's really a thing of the past that makes her afraid/mad/anger when coming across this person in particular.
She Likes: Chocolate Frogs, Strawberries, Muggle Designer Clothing. She Dislikes: Potions, Loud Noises, Dark places. She owns: (pet wise) One large Golden Brown Barn Owl (Diana) , and One Screech Owl (Artemis), both who often come into her classroom to leave mail rather than dropping it off in the Great Hall. She also owns her own broomstick, a Nimbus 2000, though she rarely uses it. Her father purchased it for her in the hopes she would turn out to be a great Quidditch player.
Back story:
Danica was born in Little Surrey, England, to her Muggle mother, and her half blood Wizard father. She is an only child, and was protected from most magic until she got her letter from Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Up until this point in time she has attended a normal public school, with other Muggle children. She was protected at the time because her father chose not to enter the Wizarding Work Force, as a Banker. He met her mother at his place of employ. Eryck (Danica’s father) decided to divulge his secret of being a wizard to Danica’s mother, who accepted it calmly and within stride because she loved him more than anything.
After their wedding they made the joint decision not to bring up Magic to their future children, unless they showed a particular talent for it. Danica often had sparks as a small child, and Eryck kept a close eye on his only daughter. Fear of losing her to dark times was their main motivation at the time, though after Voldermort was defeated, they relaxed their grip on Danica. When Danica received her Hogwarts Letter, her mother was thrilled, her father less so, mostly because of events past and because of his own lack of involvement with the wizarding world.
While in school Danica excelled in almost every subject, except for Potions which often bored and frightened her. This mostly happened because she had a hard time getting the potions right and often was the butt of jokes in class. She was a bit of a troublemaker in school, often out of bed at odd hours hanging out in the Owlery and doing other odd things, like wandering to the lake and tormenting the giant squid, or sneaking off into Hogsmeade to drink butter bear and eat chocolate frogs. She usually ended up serving her detentions in the dungeons, and has gained a fear of the dark and the shadows since. Upon graduating from Hogwarts, she received her first Owl, Diana, from her mother as a gift to keep in touch. Diana holds a special place in her heart. Danica later purchased Artemis, her screech owl as a companion for Diana. Unfortunately, the pair don't always get along very well, and tend to act like a bickering married couple. They are the closest thing to friends Danica admits to having.
Much like her father before her, after graduating from school, she took a leave from the magical world to pursue a Muggle job as a fashion designer. Only, her designs were a bit too forward/crazy for most. And a lot of the fashions would be more popular in the Wizarding world. Knowing her credentials, she applies for a Ministry job, only to be turned down. Hogwarts is her only hope, and her only fear. The dungeons are never far from her mind, and neither is the need for gold (and the lack of it in her Gringotts account) to continue her dreams of being a renowned designer.
Any extra info you want us to know!:
Danica has a very hands-on teaching approach much like other professors at Hogwarts. She believes in giving as much attention as she can to her students, and has a very small, almost nonexistent personal life as a result. Love has never been in the cards for her, not even in while she was in school. This is mostly because she was a loner, or in constant companion with an owl, or simply never around, or in detention. When she was there though, most would enjoy her company, but never enough to pursue a closer relationship in any manner.
