HISTORY Peter and Lucille met as any wizarding couple met. In Hogwarts. Their love was not yet found for eachother until their last year. Peter from Ravenclaw, and Lucille from Hufflepuff they only mingled from time to time. Yet there was something that happened that allowed them to become very well aquainted with the other. They begun dating a few months before graduation, it took them a year to become engaged, and then another short few months to become married.

Very much in love they quickly had their first child. Maria Chevon, an angel in any respect. While Peter worked hard at becoming an Auror for he was very good with almost anything to do with being an Auror his wife took to Decorating. Her flare for putting things together was practically flawless.

It didn't take them that long to have another child, this one was Peter's first son, and how happy he was to have him. Maxwell Victor, was very much the opposite of his older sister though. Maria was a quiet baby, where Maxwell was the opposite. Maria would sit still and behave herself as a toddler, where Maxwell just had to run around in circles until his energy just depleated and he passed out for a nap.

Maria and Maxwell became very close friends in the midst of their differences. Maria ended up being placed in Ravenclaw like her father, where Maxwell ended up being placed in Hufflepuff. With both of their children off to school Lucille and Peter found themselves quite lonely. Enough to have a child again. They were completely able to as well. While Lucille was almost at the end of her fertility they were able to happily give birth to Joan Victoria. Who was perhaps a mixture of both Maria and Maxwell, and someone all together different.

No one could quite predict what Joan did from day to day. One moment even to the next. She could be peacefully sitting and playing with her toys one moment, and then the next crushing and crashing right through them. Running without looking where she was exactly going.

Maria coddled her younger sister, while Maxwell too old for the middle-syndrome of a trio of siblings ended up doing the same. Just instead of coddling her, he taught her all the dirty things to do. There was spesifically one serious event where he took her out to the backyard in the summer of her 7th birthday. They had just gotten themselves three new dogs, and Maxwell was now 19 years old so he felt himself utterly responsible with the adolescent sister of his. This was not the case. Chasing after one of the puppies -which after the even she named Mud- she had followed it into the forest behind their house. Maxwell having turned his back for only three seconds to put the other puppies in the house had lost his little sister. An hour later, and still no sign of little Jo, he finally submitted himself to telling his parents. They rushed out, and even with the aide of now 20 year old Maria couldn't find Joan for another good two hours.

When they did finally find the troublesome girl, she was nestled asleep with the puppy, who was subsequently wrapped in her sweater because he'd gotten all muddy and was shaking from the cold. While she had a fierce flu for the next two weeks she quickly got over it and was still so troublesome and had practically learned nothing, other than just not to give her sweater to the dogs.

When it came time for Hogwarts it was clear that Lucille and Peter were not going to have anymore children. Now her mother going through that wonderful life changing experience called menopause -she was afterall 44 years old- sent their final child to a school they thought would be safe for her. To no one's surprise she was placed into Gryffindor. Though what was truly surprising was that Joan was in the same year as the famous Harry Potter. While Jo didn't really care too much about the lightning bolt wonder, she did admire his courage. Perhaps envious for what courage he was supposed to posses, not because of what he'd managed to do at only one year old.

Throughout the years at Hogwarts aside the famous Harry Potter, and the wild unexplainable things that have happened to him. Such as second year and the parsletongue, which had offically creeped her out because she was absolutely petrified of snakes. Third year with the escapee from Azkaban. That had scared her too, fourth year him competing and winning the Triwizard Tournament. Fifth year with Umbridge, and finally ending in Sixth year which brought about a terrible sadness in Joan. While she was personally not close with Dumbledore, she had admired his great spirit. While he was not a god figure in her eyes, and did understand that death would happen to him, she hadn't expected it during her time at Hogwarts.

The summer after sixth seemed to become the most interesting though. It struck her with a great pain, for her father was a wizard... But he was also a muggleborn wizard. While Maria and Maxwell both tried to fight against his being taken away, they could do nothing. Maxwell having become an Auror himself could not stop them from taking his Auror father away. Infact Maxwell was heavily scrutinized for being the son of a muggleborn, and an Auror. It was just not a good summer for the Dorny's.

Now having to return to Hogwarts, where she one saw a home, and now a sort of prision, she doesn't know what lies for her, and half of her has become resiliant, while the other just wants to become docile and let everything take its course. But afterall she is a Gryffindor, and what do Gryffindor's to best? Fight back of course.

PERSONALITY
APPEARANCE Standing at a fair 5'9" without socks or shoes on she's quite the tall girl. Her long blonde hair, and bright blue eyes give her the allusion of another version of Lavender Brown. While she is concious about her appearance she isn't as flakey as one would assume. Nails bitten off, little to no makeup she still shines. Big pink lips, and a structured nose make her quite pretty. Her frame is slender, and her body is slim. She could use to gain a few pounds in fact (and she has tried) but she doesn't mind her imperfections. Superior calves due to various sports, and quite the handle on a broomstick make her the perfect person to be on a Quidditch team.
Generally put together pretty simply she doesn't worry about what will mix with what, and what will clash with what. Not to mention she doesn't even have her ears pierced so she doesn't necessarily care about accessories either. Her long hair usually has that piecey-look to it, but most of the time it's pulled back in a pony-tail to stay out of her way. She hasn't the heart enough to cut it off.
PLAYED-BY Blake Lively

For example: Having your character get in an argument with a close friend and resolve it (or not), confess to a crush that they have fancied them for a while, ect. Once you join we plan on having memebers work each others characters into these goals, so that they can be played out.
