PERSONALITY

> Snitch’s primary trait is her high energy level. She’s always moving and finds it hard to sit still if not concentrating. Her mind tends to wander if she isn’t doing something physical as well. As a result she’s a fan of sports of all kinds and does better at hands on classes like Herbology and Care of Magical creatures than things like Potions or History of Magic.

Snitch is also very insecure. She’s always worried about hurting feelings and she tends to be easily offended since she thinks that most people are out to judge her severly for all her faults. Rather than change though she would rather deny that any given insult is a problem, seeing change as an admission of her own worthlessness She has a strong desire to be liked that coupled with her naturally friendly and helpful demeanor and thin skin makes her an easy target for bullies. She’s very defensive and will often take teasing the wrong way but at the same time tends to forgive people for just about anything after the fact.

Snitch is an enormous tomboy and rejects all that “naff girly shit” out of hand. She’d much rather play rugby than worry about looks or boy’s, she prefers Dragons to Unicorns, the Falcon’s to the Harpies and is in general just one of the lads.

Her Gryffindorness truly shows in her stubbornness and her extroverted nature. Once she gets going she won’t back down come hell or high water. Her extroverted nature shows in the form of her loudly running through the halls shouting, singing off key Queen, and just generally being a friendly and forward person. If this seems in contradiction to her self-conscious and insecure aspects it should be noted that both are motivated by her desire to be liked and “worth something” so she puts herself out there to be liked and shies away from and obsesses about being hated.

Her alternative house would have been Hufflepuff, friendly, careing, and loyal.

HISTORY Aidan Lynch was a half blood Ravenclaw with ADD, a love of books, and an obsession with Quidditch. Aoife Moran was a halfblood Gryffindor with a bad attitude and an equally strong Quidditch obsession. They became fast friends and over the course of their seven year quidditch rivalry became infatuated with each other. Something the press loved after they left school and Aoife got picked up by the Harpies and Aidan by the Falcons.

Their relationship became an on and off thing that lasted nearly six years until they both ended up on the Irish national team together and won in 94. After the post game celebrations a drunken proposal occurred, as well as a drunken acceptance. No one’s sure who started it. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Mopsa was born after a depressing number of attempts at conceiving by her parents. Named for two of her parents close friends and former teammates and affectionately nicknamed “Snitch” by her father she had a happy and loving childhood. She was a typical daddy’s girl and was always following him around from the time she could crawl. Things only got worse when she got her first toy broom. It took her less than a day to fall and break her leg. She is slightly spoiled from her parents doting on her, though her sense of entitlement is crbed by her fear of rejection by her peers.

An energetic child she was quite the handful, always getting into trouble of one kind or another. As she got closer to Hogwarts age however she started getting into fights and ostracized by neighborhood Muggle children that didn’t believe her about magic. This lose of her friends cost her most of her self esteem and was, from her young point of view, the end of the world.

Getting into school helped immensely with that issue however. Snitch was quickly sorted into her mother’s old house of Gryffindor and started to make friends right away. She was bright enough to pass her classes with less than average effort and spent most of her time on sports and roughhousing. She floated through her school years, Never quite catching the varies professor’s attention with the single notable exception of the care of magical creatures professor, who recognizes the care she puts into tending animals. Her circle of friends was large enough that she rarely needed to look far for a friend, though she was by no means popular or even the leader of her social circle, though she did spend quite a bit of time helping younger students settle in her scraping by style of work ethic kept her from earning a position as a prefect for her year.. All in all, other than utterly failing History of magic and potions and doing exceptionally well at care of magical creatures her quidditch skills were the only thing that made her stand out from the crowd and now entering her final year of schooling she hopes a team decides to pick her up as a reserve. Failing that she would like to go into researching and categorizing magical marine life.

WRITING SAMPLES

JOURNAL POST Hello Hogwarts! Today’s a brilliant day. Anybody care for a race around the lake before classes start up? I’ll give you firsties a head start even.

On another note. Has anyone seen my copy of the Curse Breaker’s Revenge? It’s really important I find it. Da gave it to me and it’s signed.

And to my favorite quidditch team. How are you? Remember practice today. We really need to work on our formations if we want that cup. Backbeater defense and Dawlish’s attack formation. Be there or your dinner rolls are mine. Evil laugh here.
THREAD POST This was an example I wrote for a panfandom where I played this character before.

It was a good day for a practice and the catapults couches were taking full advantage of it. Snitch and the others were running through some new plays when one of her teammates managed a lucky hit with a bludger. She blacked out and when she woke she was… not on the field. Or in the infirmary. Or anywhere that she should be. Getting up and climbing out of the strange bed she started looking around, overlooking the tiny device that lay by the scroll. Exiting into the living area she called out. “Hello? Anyone there? I swear if this is some kind of joke someone’s getting a puck in the mouth.”

If anyone was around they were keeping quiet. Snitch decided to wander a bit, there had to be someone that knew where in the world she was. Wandering the corridors she noticed that this castle was much less confusing than Hogwarts where she went to school at least. So that was something. As she turned a corner she thought she saw someone at the end of the hallway. Running after them she called out. “Oi. Hey! You there! Can I ask you something?” After exchanging polite greetings she quickly asked what the feck was going on and listened disbelieving to the explanation that they were in some place called make believe. “You’re taking the micky out of me aren’t you?” She asked incredulously.
