Appealing attributes ➵ She is small and delicate-featured. Pretty in a flawed, accessible way with her waist-long auburn hair and captivating hazel eyes. She has a distinct sharpness to her, which gives her beauty an edge; poised as an athlete and a defiant set in her chin that keeps most people at bay, yet leaves one to wonder about what lies beneath the surface. First impression ➵ Dove is a difficult person to read, usually keeping her thoughts and opinions to herself unless outright provoked to do otherwise. She moves in her own circles and prefers solitude to the company of others, making her nearly impossible to get acquainted with. Physical defences ➵ Don't let her petite frame fool you; Dove can throw a mean punch if need be. That is, if she does not disarm her opponent with her razor-sharp wit and carefully crafted insults or her impeccable mastery of the Ventus-charm. Spoken languages ➵ She speaks English and knows the occasional Irish phrase due to her father's Irish descent. Talents ➵ She is exceptional at Quidditch, serving her fourth year in a row as the Seeker of the Slytherin team. Furthermore she enjoys equestrianism, and seems to become one with her horse as they gallop across the fields surrounding her parents' estate. Scent ➵ She smells vividly of fresh winter air tinged with wild geraniums and a faint trace of beeswax and honey. Patronus ➵ Her patronus takes the corporeal shape of a black panther. Boggart ➵ X. Amortentia ➵ Petrichor, freshly baked bread, pinewood and broomstick polish. Pets ➵ She has a black stallion named Nyx back home, whom she misses dearly whenever she has to go away. Best subject(s) ➵ Her favourite subejcts are Defence Against the Dark Arts and Care of Magical Creatures [until recently]. Worst subject(s) ➵ She never excelled at Divination, which never lead to more than mere guesswork on her behalf. |

⎨COLOUR⎬ ⋄ She prefers neutral or earthy tones such as cream, various greens or chestnut brown, and dresses in those same colours. ⎨HIDING SPOT⎬ ⋄ Anywhere with leaves blowing in the wind or water running nearby does the trick of calming her nerves or making her feel at ease in her solitude. ⎨DISH⎬ ⋄ Her current favourite dish is butternut lasagna with wild mushrooms and sage (amongst other vegetarian delicacies). ⎨ANIMAL⎬ ⋄ She likes most animals and magical creatures, believing each of them to be magnificent in their own way, although horses do hold a special place in her heart. ⎨BOOK⎬ ⋄ She frequently roams through her mother's muggle books in search of a good read. Her current favourite is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. ⎨SEASON⎬ ⋄ Early springtime when everything is just about to go into bloom, but it is still cold enough for the occasional unforeseen snowfall. ⎨ICE CREAM FLAVOUR⎬ ⋄ She is a bit of an ice cream snob, preferring unique and hard to find flavours such as almond, grapefruit, honey or bergamot. ⎨FLOWER⎬ ⋄ Geraniums are her favourite, followed closely by blue anemones and lilies of the valley, all of which she goes searching for whenever they are in season. ⎨COUNTRY TO VISIT⎬ ⋄ She would love to hike through Eastern Europe or travel across Iceland on horseback someday. Her carefully crafted list of potential travel-destinations seems to be ever growing. ⎨FRUIT⎬ ⋄ Fresh figs, perfectly ripened pears or wild cherries, preferably picked straight from the trees at the very end of her parent's garden and eaten in the shade beneath it. ⎨PASTIME⎬ ⋄ Listening to her father play the piano, riding Nyx, going for treasurehunts in the attic or playing Quidditch. ⎨DRINK⎬ ⋄ She is a tea drinker through and through, but more so because of the smell and the warm sensation in her fingertips as she clutches the mug than the actual taste. Her brew of choice is Earl Gray with a sprig of fresh mint in it. |

⎨TIME OF DAY⎬ ⋄ She prefers the solitude of the early morning hours, either for a spot of Quidditch practise, a long walk or a quiet read before the castle grounds start crawling with eager students. ⎨SOUND⎬ ⋄ The humming of the Golden Snitch's tiny wings. ⎨ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE⎬ ⋄ She has had one taste of Firewhiskey and since then deemed it her favourite because of its likeness to her. Her company is like strong drink. Bracing – and best to abstain if you can't handle the kick. ⎨SPORT⎬ ⋄ Needless to say, Quidditch is her all time favourite sport, but she does love a wild chase on horseback as well. ⎨GEMSTONE⎬ ⋄ Her birthstone is an emerald, and she keeps a small, uncut one in a dainty silver band around her wrist at all times. A sentimental reflection of her grandmother's ring, a family heirloom, which her father proposed with. ⎨WORD OR PHRASE⎬ ⋄ "Watch carefully, the magic that occurs when you give a person just enough comfort to be themselves."
– Atticus
⎨ELEMENT⎬ ⋄ She connects most strongly to earth as an element, but cannot deny being kissed by fire as well. ⎨EYE COLOUR⎬ ⋄ Her mother jokingly used to warn her about brown-eyed guys in mock reference to how she met her father, but the pair of crystalline blue eyes Dove has recently acquainted are far more dangerous of Noah McClairs smolder. And arguably far more intriguing to her as well. ⎨SWEET TREAT⎬ ⋄ Any freshly baked pastry will do. Almond- or lemon-filled ones especially. ⎨LANGUAGE⎬ ⋄ Albeit not knowing nearly enough of the language herself, the sound of the Irish tongue always brings a sentimental smile to her face. ⎨TEXTURE⎬ ⋄ Stroking her hand through Nyx' silky, black mane or walking through dewy grass with bare feet. ⎨WEATHER CONDITION⎬ ⋄ A slight overcast sky with minimal amounts of wind provides the perfect conditions for Quidditch, however she does love a light drizzle of rain, often going for walks in such weather. ⎨MAGICAL CREATURE⎬ ⋄ She has never actually seen one, but the eerie aura that surrounds Kelpies from the Scottish folklore has always fascinated her. A shape-shifting spirit, taking the form of either a black horse or a beautiful woman, inhabiting lakes and ponds throughout the United Kingdom. |

T H Ex A B R A X A N MYSTERIOUS & BASHFUL Abraxans are very mysterious creatures of great power, both of which are traits that are reflected in the castor of this particular patronus. They are private individuals and rarely share or confide in others unless being pushed into doing so. Some might call them stubborn (and they might be right!), as the castor of the Abraxan prefers solving their own problems and, if everything else proves futile, suffers in silence rather than asking for help. In truth, the creature and the witch or wizard who casts it is in fact very shy, making them extremely picky amongst those they choose to put their trust in, their reserved behaviour often being mistaken for something less friendly. But in spite of their timid tendencies and preferences for blending in with the crowd - if not avoiding crowds entirely, they have a demanding presence, that draws people to them. Weather it is because of their undeniable power or the shroud of mystery that surrounds them, they rarely go unnoticed. It takes immense patience and care to earn their trust, but once it's earned, the Abraxan is as loyal as they come. |
