NICKNAMES: Cee, Warrington

AGE: 16

HOUSE & YEAR: 6th year Hufflepuff

PROFESSION: N/A

WAND TYPE: Ten inch willow wand with a core of unicorn hair

[/B] Blonde

EYE COLOUR: Blue

HEIGHT: 5’5

WEIGHT: 105 lbs

BODY TYPE: Slim, lean and lanky

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Sienna doesn’t really have many distinguishing features. She has a few scars and such on her legs from childhood clumsiness, but nothing that really sets her apart. Her light blonde hair usually covers one more noticeable scar, though, which she got for tripping and hitting her head on a rock as a child, leaving a cut and now a faint scar on her forehead. It is very faint, but because she’s rather self-conscious, she makes sure to cover the traces of it.

PERSONAL STYLE: Dominique is not particularly interested in fashion, but because her mother insists on taking her shopping every so often, she does have some nice clothes. She is very fond of baggy tops and t-shirts and prefers jeans and shorts to skirts, although she will wear skirts or dresses occasionally as well. Usually, however, her style is very casual, although she does like jewelry and tends to wear large necklaces and bracelets with anything.

AND ALL YOU KNOW ,

and how you speak
------------------------------------------------------------[/center]

[/B] running/jogging, horses and horse-like creatures such as unicorns, writing, doodling in class, sitting by the window late at night, cloud watching, antique shops, sarcasm, people with self-irony, deep conversations late at night, slumber parties, platonic male friends, procrastination, the ocean

CHARACTER DISLIKES: most of her mother’s family, getting her clothes dirty, rodents, fake friends, cats, eating meat, large, open spaces, early mornings, false compliments, the winter, shopping, hyperactive or constantly happy people (especially children), cleaning, huge family dinners, being in crowds, drunkenness, bad manners

GOALS: Sienna doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life, but she knows she wants to make it on her own, without having to depend on someone else for money or security. She also wants her siblings to be successful, and if they need it, she intends to be able to help and support them somehow.

BOGGART: Sienna fears being truly alone. This may seem strange because she’s usually content to be by herself, but that is only because she knows that, if she wants to, she has people to talk to. For instance, the idea of being completely separated from all her siblings scares her to no end. Them being in Slytherin and her in Hufflepuff is fine because they’re only a hallway apart; living in a different country from them, or (worst case scenario) having them die, would tear her apart.

PATRONUS: Her patronus takes the form of a red panda. Her best memory is being informed that she had been appointed a prefect in her fifth year - it made her feel extremely proud, like her hard work in school had finally been properly recognized.

DEMENTOR: Overhearing her parents’ fights when she was younger, worried that they might split up - and even worse, split up her and her siblings in the process. How insecure, scared and lonely she felt back then was absolutely horrible, and thinking back on it is still painful.

AMORENTIA: mint, pineapple, nature after it’s been raining, the sea

BASIC PERSONALITY:

• SELF-SUFFICIENT
  Sienna is not the kind of girl who depends on other people’s opinions to feel good about herself. In fact, she believes that she is quite capable of taking care of herself and would rather people didn’t start meddling in her business. While she isn’t rebellious or anything of the sort, she does genuinely follow the ideals she believes in, regardless of whether or not others agree, and she knows she would rather be disliked for who she is than liked for something she is not. Sometimes, though, her need for independence can make her seem a bit standoffish or even cold because she is rarely the one to start a conversation and is quite content to spend time by herself, doing her own thing.
  
  
• GENTLE
  Being mean is not in her nature, though. While she is not afraid of having others judge her, she does not feel the need to judge or bash them for their opinions either, and is more likely to just smile and shrug at hearing something she disagrees with than get into an argument about it. It isn’t that she’s afraid of confrontations - she just prefers things staying quiet and peaceful if they can. She is quite soft-spoken and polite most of the time, actually, and doesn’t make a fuss about small things. Basically, she is quite patient and very unlikely to fly off the handle unless there is a very good reason for it, and while she isn’t exactly shy, she doesn’t need everyone’s attention all the time either.
  
  
• GUARDED
  No, shy would not be the proper word to describe Sienna, but neither would outgoing. She is an introvert and doesn’t mind being by herself, but she does enjoy talking to people as well, and she is known to smile and laugh quite a lot when around others. Still, she watches her mouth even when in a very good mood, and is cautious about whom she trusts. Sharing her secrets with just anyone is very much unlike her - she doesn’t really have many deep, dark secrets anyway, but even with minor things, she’s careful not to say too much. This caution applies to the situations she gets herself into as well. She thinks before acting and prefers to have a plan, not just jump into things without knowing what the consequences may be.
  
  
• COLLECTED
  The vast majority of the time, Sienna is in control of the situation. Even when she doesn’t feel that way, though, she makes sure not to show it. She prides herself on being able to keep her emotions in check, so it is very unlikely to see her lose her temper or break down in tears. Perhaps she could be called tough-skinned as well for her apparent ability to keep things from getting to her, but really, it’s a matter of composure. Even if something does upset her, she is able to keep herself from acting out, preferring instead to solve whatever problem there may be through talking - quite calmly - about it. Her collectedness does not only apply to negative emotions, though. She’s not exactly the type to jump and dance around in joy either, so often, her reactions can seem a bit… underwhelming.
  
  
• PRAGMATIC
  Sienna has a worldview that could best be described as realistic. She is not irrationally optimistic or pessimistic, and views the world as it is. This is also part of the reason why she manages to stay as calm as she does. She realizes that daydreaming won’t help her deal with any problems she may have and that if she wants something to change, she has to do something about it. An unfortunate effect of her pragmatism is that it keeps her from having any real expectations, though, which (on the bright side) keeps her from getting disappointed, but also makes it difficult for her to be pleasantly surprised or even look forward to something.
  
  
• ARROGANT/PATRONIZING
  While she is very rarely intentionally hurtful, Sienna does have a tendency of inadvertently showing that she thinks she knows best. She does realize that she is quite mature and hard-working and determined and all, so it shouldn’t really be surprising that she often thinks she’s right in spite of what others might say. Because of her ability to stay calm and respond with a smile or a shrug when she disagrees, this all makes appear just a bit patronizing. She wouldn’t actually tell someone that she thinks their opinion is wrong or anything of the sort, but those who know her should have no problem recognizing the quiet sighs or soft pats on the back that so often come from her when she disagrees.
  
  
• LOYAL
  As she is a Hufflepuff, it is only natural that Sienna is loyal. It should already be established that she is not exactly a social butterfly, but when it comes to the people she genuinely cares about, she cares a lot. She is in no way a deceptive or backstabbing kind of girl, and when she makes a friend, she is as devoted to them as she can be, there for them if they need her and ready to help them with whatever they might need. She won’t be entirely self-sacrificing and altruistic either, though - while she is willing to make sacrifices for her friends and make time for them even if it’s inconvenient for her, she won’t do so if she suspects they might not do the same. After all, what’s the use if there’s nothing in it for her?
  
  
• PROTECTIVE
  One thing she simply won’t stand for is seeing people she cares about get hurt. That is one of the few things that can make her lose her composure. She does have something of a maternal way of being, especially when it comes to her siblings, and she won’t let her loved ones go wandering off into lots of trouble if she can help it. She can’t always be there to look after those she cares about, of course, but if she hears that they may be up to something stupid, she’ll let them know what she thinks about it. If someone actually hurts someone she cares about, she’ll also happily be the first to stand up for them, and is quite unable to let the culprits get away with it without being hit by a few hexes. No, her friends or siblings might not always want her looking out for her like this because she does have a tendency to get a bit annoying about it, but she is absolutely convinced that they need her to.
  
  
• DEPENDABLE
  Let it never be said that this girl does not do her best, because it would be a lie. When she puts her mind to something, she finishes it, and she makes sure to do it well. In truth, she is a bit of a perfectionist, but that trait has most likely developed as a result of her good work ethics. Had she not taken so much care to complete tasks on time and the like, she would probably not have discovered how much it mattered to her that everything was done perfectly. She isn’t one for procrastinating either - she’ll usually do schoolwork on the same day as it has been assigned, even if it is not due until several days later, and when she makes a promise, she’ll keep it right away.
  
  
• AMBITIOUS
  Despite all the traits that make her a fairly typical Hufflepuff, however, Sienna does come from a family of Slytherins, and it has rubbed off on her in some ways. Most notably in that she is ambitious. Again, she is loyal, but not altruistic because she won’t make all those sacrifices unless she gets something in return, and hard-working, but only so that she can be the best. She always needs something to strive for, and once she has a goal, there is nothing (or very little, anyway) that can stop her from reaching it. Her agendas are not cruel or even particularly selfish, but they are there, and she is quite aware of it.

[/B] Charles Warrington

MOTHER: Colleen Huntington

BROTHER(S): ---- (17), ---- (16, triplet), ---- (16, triplet), all Slytherins

SISTER(S): ---- (15), Slytherin

OTHER: Her mother’s three sisters Eleanor, Alison and Louise and their many children. Her father, fortunately, was an only child.

BLOOD STATUS: Pureblood

HOMETOWN: Ottery St. Catchpole, England

PETS: A small white cat named Chocolate

BIOGRAPHY: Sienna was the third child and first girl born to Colleen and Charles Warrington. Most people don’t actually know that she’s number three, though, because she was born within twenty minutes of both an older and younger brother. In other words, the happy couple, already parents to a one year old boy, had triplets. They would most likely have been able to handle that, had not Colleen become pregnant again just a few months after. That had not been part of the plan, and, as they were soon to discover, five young children could be a challenge to anyone.

The Warringtons were fairly wealthy and very resourceful, yes, but both parents worked full-time jobs at the Ministry. Worked, past tense. After the birth of their fifth and last child (and second daughter), Colleen decided she had to give up her career, despite knowing it would make her unhappy. She tried to take care of them by herself for no more than a few weeks before deciding to hire a nanny to help her out, but even then, it was difficult to give all five kids the attention they wanted. It didn’t really help that Charles rose through the ranks at the Ministry either - he earned more, yes, but had less time for his family. Five children living in the same household could never be lonely, though, even when their parents did not have much time for them all.

It was a small miracle that Colleen and Charles managed to be happy together for as long as they did, considering the noisy children (made worse by the fact that there were five when they had only really planned to have two or three), the stress of Charles’ job and Colleen missing her job. It could not last forever, though. By the time the triplets were seven, their parents were fighting almost constantly, and even though they never meant to involve or even bother the children, Sienna was definitely affected by it all. It made her feel less than safe in her home, and she would spend many hours just wandering outside, either alone or with some of her siblings. As their mother was often upset or busy and Sienna was the oldest girl, she became a bit of a strange mother figure, looking after both her older and younger siblings.

Going to Hogwarts made life easier. Their older brother was the first to leave, but even being down to four children seemed to ease the tension at the Warrington household. No one would ever hear them admit it, of course, but Charles and Colleen were undoubtedly a bit relieved to have some time to themselves again the following year, when the triplets all went off to Hogwarts as well. Sienna felt bad about leaving their baby sister, but at the same time, she was excited about starting her magical education and meeting more people.

She hadn’t really put much thought into which house she wanted to be in. She had assumed she would be a Slytherin like her oldest brother and most of their family, including both their parents, but had quietly hoped she was smart enough to be a Ravenclaw. Therefore, she was initially a bit disappointed when the Sorting Hat cried out “HUFFLEPUFF!” almost immediately after being placed on her head. She was even more upset when both her brothers were sorted into Slytherin, as she had not been prepared for being separated from all her siblings. As she got to know her housemates and such, though, she soon came to be quite fond of her house, and wasn’t even disappointed when her baby sister was sorted into Slytherin the following year.

Sienna’s Hogwarts years haven’t been anything spectacular, though. She was always a good student, but not brilliant; the kind who achieves excellence if she truly works for it and is only mediocre if not. As a Hufflepuff, though, she has generally worked hard, and has therefore done well most of the time. She has made friends over the years, but could not be called popular. All in all, she’s a fairly normal sixteen year old girl who doesn’t really know what she wants to do with her life.

RP EXPERIENCE: Five years

OTHER CHARACTERS: None yet

RP SAMPLE:

Should she have said something else? Something more? Dominique wasn’t sure, but she was fairly sure that a conversation with a cousin to whom she had been quite close in her childhood should not feel as forced as this. It was like talking to a stranger. Then again, they were practically strangers despite their family ties. Maintaining close relations to the Weasley clan had been important to Bill, but Fleur hadn’t quite agreed on that as she liked less than half of them, so that had affected Dominique quite a bit. It would have been great for things to have been as effortless as when someone suggested a game of tag ten years ago, but that, of course, was not how it worked. Friendships had to be worked on, and in the case of Lily – as well as a lot of the other cousins – they simply hadn’t been. It wasn’t a huge loss, though. The few childhood friends she still talked to were always telling her how changed she was, and she didn’t appreciate it.

Why was this so awkward, though? Dominique wasn’t exactly a social butterfly and she did often have a problem talking to other girls, but she usually managed to talk at least fairly easily. She blamed the pain rather than try to think of any other possible explanations, though. Cutting up her knee on a rock wasn’t exactly comfortable, after all, and no one would be in the mood for exchanging pleasantries while bleeding like this. False pleasantries. She was acting, wasn’t she? Acting like she and Lily had anything to talk about. Acting like they were closer than anyone else she could have gone to for help. Bloody hell, she hated it when people did that. Hated it when someone pretended to like her and any idiot could tell how superficial that niceness was. Like right now. As she sat down on one of the benches and watched Lily, she opened her mouth to mention just that.

Lily spoke before she had the time to, though, and she forced a smile in response. ”I can do that myself, thanks,” she replied, taking the gauze from her cousin. Her tone had been a bit harsher than she had intended it to, but seriously, this was just too awkward for anything she could have said to not seem out of place. Lily felt it too, didn’t she? Of course she did. This kind of tension could very well almost be cut with a knife. Deciding to just stay quiet to avoid any further weirdness (as if awkward silences weren’t just as bad, but regardless), she used a very small piece of the gauze to attempt to dry of some of the blood. It didn’t work very well, but she’d get herself cleaned up when she got back to the castle. For now, it just needed to be dry enough for her to actually make the gauze tight enough.

Hearing Lily’s voice again, she looked up from her knee again, eyebrows slightly arched. All right, this was pointless. ”Look, Lily,” she said, biting her lip slightly before continuing. ”You don’t have to do that. Stop pretending. We don’t… we don’t talk.” She paused for a very brief second. No, she was definitely not one to sugarcoat things anymore. Then she added, ”You probably don’t even like me, do you?” There was definitely something accusatory in her tone now, even though she hadn’t intended it to come out like that. She knew exactly what was being said about her around the school, so Lily had probably heard it all as well – and if she hadn’t, she probably expected her to be like Victoire, which she wasn’t. Either way, the other girl had no reason whatsoever to like her, logically. That was a bit painful, of course, but it couldn’t really be helped.
