PERSONALITY
Sophia has been described as a 'feisty little thing' or 'a fiery wench'. She is not afraid of conflict and is rather drawn to it. She thrives off causing controversy and will not bow out when someone questions her methods. Always standing up for what she believes in, Sophia is quick to get into fights, though she's not a mean person or a pessimist. In all, she is a very kind loving girl; she just loses her temper easily.
Sophia takes great pride in her wit and cunning. She can be very blunt and to the point, but she is a very sensual creature and holding to that nature she is sly and subtle, when her temper is in check. Sophia is the kind of girl who whispers sweet nothings in your ear just to make you squirm. Some of her actions might not make sense, but she's always thinking in terms of the bigger picture and how what she does, and what other people do, will affect her plans in the long run.
BACKGROUND
Sophia comes from a distant branch of the Black family who live in New Zeland. Although that is where her immediate family resides, her parents thought it would be best if she were to live with her mother's aunt's husband's brother's nephew's wife's daughter’s ... (basically a distant uncle) for her school years. While her mother begged her father to send her to Beauxbatons he put his foot down and said that she was going to attend Hogwarts because it was a better school and Sophia was getting into a lot of trouble at home.
As a little girl she would sneak into her father's library and read his books on Dark spells and potions. They fascinated her. It was a world she didn't know during everyday life. It was dark. It seduced her. It was a common occurrence for Sophia to be sent home in the middle of the day from primary school. She'd have a note in hand for her parents who were not pleased with her disruptive behavior (cursing the other children for fun) in school, to say the least.
She had calmed down quite a bit when she entered her first year at Hogwarts -- and living away from home. It came as a surprise to everyone when she was sorted into Ravenclaw instead of the favoured Slytherin, but Sophia didn't really care. She believed that she was finally in league with people of her own brilliance and she liked it that way.
During her second year, Sophia played a game of Truth or Dare with the rest of her house, just because everyone else was going it and she wanted to fit in. After a humiliating outcome when she'd picked Dare, Sophia made up her mind that she would never do something just because all the other kids were doing it. If she was going to experience anything, it would be for her own reasons, not to just follow the crowd. In this respect, Sophia tends to stand out as she frequently gets into arguments with people.
APPEARENCE
Blessed with soft creamy skin, a mass of black curls, and an hourglass figure, Sophia is very well endowed. She is not the tallest tree in the forest standing at a mere 5'4" but for what she lacks in height, she makes up in attitude. You will usually see her shoulder lenght black curls down and wild as she rarely pulls her hair up, but even then her hair cannot be tamed with small soft ringlets falling into her hazel eyes.
INTERESTS/HOBBIES/ROMANCE
As far as her interests are concerned, she's not very keen on the opposite sex, and tends to avoid any sort of romance. When she's not running from hormone driven boys on the prowl, Sophia reads many a spell book and even sneaks in Dark Arts texts once in a while just to look at the pictures. She does pride herself on excelling in Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts with Potions coming in a close third. After her studying is done, Sophia likes to write short stories about herself in faerie story lands over coming all sorts of odds and trials.

JOURNAL ENTRY
15 November, 1996
I am writing again which is something I feel I haven't done in ages. I haven't really written anything since school began again, save for a few entries here. I haven't been creative or poetic or even just depressed enough to write stories of hate and tumult. I just feel empty right now, like the top of my head has opened up and all of my creativity is just floating up and away.
Perhaps all the events of they year are draining me. Even though I expressed my feelings of indifference about the death of the Hufflepuff (Her name has slipped my mind) at the Halloween Ball, I do feel saddened by the tragedy. Perhaps I was experiencing a numbing shock at the time of the event. Who can really say though? I am probably just reading into myself too much.
Hopefully I'll find my muse and begin to create again.
[Private]I wonder which Slytherin I should pluck from the barrel to aid me in my quest. Draco Malfoy perhaps? No, he's too much of a self-centered, arrogant git. Pansy Parkinson? No, not her either. She may have the knowledge, but I doubt she'd give it to me, being the snob that she is.
I've got it! Theodore Nott. And he's quite pretty too. What am I saying!? I have NO feelings for him what so ever! None. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Bupkis. I believe I have potions with him nest period. Must look my absolute best. I'll try to speak with him then about meeting somewhere where we can make hot passionate love. we can discus the Dark Lord.[/Private]
I think I may go see Madam Pomfrey now. I'm feeling ill.
RP SNIPPET
She froze in mid step, grip on her Potions book tightening. She almost couldn’t believe what he had said, to her even. Of all the bloody people in the bloody world, why did he have to say THAT to HER? 'A hag? An old hag!? Bloody hell, Davies, you're in for it!' she screamed in her head.
Turing on her heel, Sophia looked down at Roger from the landing giving him a look of pure venom. Clenching her teeth, she began to take a step toward him. Sophia was angry, well no, that wasn't the right word. More like livid. She raced down the steps from the girl’s dormitory and hurled the very large textbook at Roger's head. "You are disgrace to this house, Davies! You're lucky that I don't curse you within an inch of your life!" She had finished her descent and was now standing directly in front of him, index finder poking him in the nose. The fact that he was much taller than her and she had to look up at him infuriated her even more. "If you ever say something like that about me, be it behind my back or to my face, again, I will personally see to it that you are found in Hawaii locked in a trunk with your tongue cut out. Understand?" her voice was very quiet but held a deadly edge.

PERSONALITY/BACKGROUND
Roger has an ego, and a huge one at that. Surprisingly, in his first year, Roger was a very shy, quiet, timid boy. He was picked on by the upperclassmen for being too short and scrawny. All that changed in his second year. Over the summer he had grown several centimeters and filled out into a stronger, more powerful build. With his newfound height and strength, he kept with tradition and bullied some of the first years, but nothing that wasn't out of the ordinary for a twelve-year-old.
The real defining moment in Roger's life was when he made the house Quidditch team during his second year. He was the youngest Chaser in Ravenclaw for over thirty years. Quidditch was his passion, his destiny, his lifeblood. At least that's the way he saw it. Roger always believed he was destined to do great things, he just didn't know what.
As the years went by, Roger's success grew and did his popularity with the ladies. He had girls fawning over him nonstop. He attributed his popularity with his good looks and award winning personality and charm, but in reality most girls just liked him because he was a Quidditch hot shot and they wanted to be his arm candy.
Roger also has a vile temper. He's a sore loser and doesn't like to be told 'No'. If things don't go his way he storms and brodes for hours just thinking of ways to get back at the person, though he's never carried any of his serious plans for revenge out. One of the minor plots occurred during the previous year on the Hogsmade Valentine's trip. He and the girl he was dating at the time were sitting in Madam Puddifoot's kissing and cuddling. What the unsuspecting girl didn't know what that Roger had used her to get back at his crush, Cho Chang who had chosen Harry Potter over him.
Roger has a horrible temper. Apart from screaming himself hoarse, he's been known to bloody up his knuckles from punching walls or faces. He blames himself for everything that goes wrong with the Quidditch team, in his life, and everything in general. Hard as he tries, sometimes he just snaps and loses all control. During times like these, Cho and some of the sixth years try to calm him down and keep him away from prying eyes.
Although Quidditch is the main focus of Roger's life at Hogwarts, he still finds time to do his homework and even take an extra class of Charms, which he excels in. He is very attentive in class and does not like to be bothered. He's even been known to hex someone just for breathing too loud during a lecture. Despite his temper and somewhat manipulative nature, Roger is a very kind, honest young man who just loses his way on the path of life.
APPEARENCE
Roger is a very striking young man. He has a tall lean build and well defined muscles while not overtly bulky. His face is angular and very chizzled, accented with bright blue eyes and dark brows. His hair is dark and soft, cropped close to his head. He has milky white skin even though he spends a good deal of time in the sun, but he never seems to tan.

Despite his temper and somewhat manipulative nature, Roger is a very kind, honest young man who just loses his way on the path of life.
Roger has a lot of house pride. You'll always see him sporting his house colours and vigorously recruiting people to route for Ravenclaw at Quidditch matches, and trying to keep his housemates in line, with hopes of winning the house cup.
ROMANTICALLY
Roger is very open about who he fancies. He doesn't really care if they know and quite often tells them out of the blue. This tendency has got him into many awkward situations, but for the most part things turn out well. Currently, Roger is swooning over and torn between a certain Katie Bell and a one Susan Bones.

JOURNAL ENTRY
I've just received this journal within the last week, but I haven't had the time to write in it. [Readable only by Students]I can't believe we have to write in these for a grade. What are the professors going to do? Judge our thoughts? [/Private]
I'm anxious to get back to school and back to training. For all of you on my team (you know who you are), we'll be starting practice immediately. I've already talked to Professor Flitwick and we have the Pitch booked during the first three weeks of school straight. I expect to see all of you on the field at seven o'clock new Saturday morning. We have lots of training to do if we're going to win this year.
[Private] I wonder how Cho is holding up. I haven't spoken to her since the end of July. I hope she's doing well. But it seems odd, we used to be so close, but after Valentine's, well she's drifted away from me. She's not even focusing as a Seeker. I'm worried about her (and about the team). [/Private]
RP SNIPPET
Roger looked anxiously at his watch. Where was she? He glanced at the people sitting around him, enjoying their meals and the pleasure of their dates' company. Why couldn't he enjoy the company of another as well? He raised his dark brows, rolling the question over in his mind. For starters she wasn't there so how could he really enjoy her company. Second, he was starving. As his mother would say, 'My boy is hungry enough to eat a Hippogriff! Isn't that right, Roger?'
Food. Now that was a pleasant thought. Roast beef, potatoes with steamed carrots and peas, pumpkin juice, and to top it all off chocolate pudding. Yes, that was the kind of meal he looked forward to and Hogwarts was the only place to get it.
Hogwarts, he'd be going back for his final year in about a week. He'd already packed and repacked several times, as always not quite sure just what he should take. He'd carefully packaged his broom and Quidditch robes of course, those were a must. A daily staple in his Hogwarts diet. He'd take his box of pictures, yes, the ones that he had taken himself. He was proud of those pictures. Sure they weren't the best, but can you really expect a masterpiece the first time you try?
His mind was wandering and his stomach was rumbling inside him. Roaring with agony and screaming for a meal. He drummed is fingers on the table in a nervous sort of way. Where the bloody hell was she!? He looked down to check his watch, "Forty minutes late," he said to himself. Just as he was about to look up, he noticed her out of the corner of his eye walking over to him with a smile on her face and that sexy pink dress hiding her body. Standing up, he pulled out a chair for her, a big grin on his face.
