First and Last Name: Capucine "Cappy" Victorie Brisby.
Bloodline: Muggleborn.
Hair Color: Dark brown, but generally appears black outside of sunlight.
Eye Color: Daaaaark brown.
General Build: Average.
Height: Tall.
Birthplace: Ipswich, Suffolk, England (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipswich).
Brief Family History: Capucine would, if asked, label her entire life as an intense blur of activity complete with fabulous events and extraordinary tea parties. However, she is quite the average little girl with nothing more than a flair for bending the truth and making small, boring things out to be much greater and extravagant - a compulsive liar, to put it bluntly, though she'd be sad if you called her any sort of liar. Capucine, as it is, has a taste for things greater than she currently has available to her. Born in Ipswich, a relatively small town (and the smallest in Suffolk) near the River Orwell, Cappy grew up a block away from a boating dock on Bostock Road and, if anything, nothing could be more embarrassing to her.
Her mother and father, Marius Tudor Brisby and Mirielle Thullier-Brisby respectively, own a local grain & fish store along the dockside that has been in the family for around forty years - about the same time their French descendants moved from France to England. However, if Capucine had gotten her way, her ancestors would've never made the horrible, life changing jump from gorgeous France to depressing Ipswich, despite the fact that she... well, has never even been to France...
Additionally, Capucine's brother, Olivier (who happens to be an entire eight and a half years old than her) drives one of the local buses around the town which Capucine rode to school every morning before receiving her letter to Hogwarts. Until it arrived on her birthday, December 11th, she attended Chantry Junior School - recently renamed 'The Oaks' - and had high hopes to get into St. Joseph's college and be in Thevenet like her brother. It was a small, potentially uplifting, hope for an almost dismal future in Capucine's eyes, to follow in the footsteps of her brother, because anyone who was anyone knew she had no desire to follow in her parent's fishy footsteps, perish the thought. Not that she really thought much about her future at eleven more than she just wanted to be something other than the 'fish girl from Ipswich'.
For the record, Capucine hates fish.
Strengths: About the only thing Capucine really considers a strength enough to acknowledge is her ability to be rather hardworking. Her want to achieve sometimes overpowers her want to appear interesting to everyone (everyone excluding herself). In addition, she is extremely organized with her stuff to the point of obsessiveness. She is quite outgoing, as well, and has never exactly been a shy girl, nor has she ever really had any problem with approaching people. Her wandwork being her strongest field - or so she says - she does best in any wand-based class and has a slight fondness for anything Quidditch-related (her brother has often commented on how she is the girliest boy he's ever known, referring to her very boyish choice of activities and her fairly girlish choice of dress).
Weaknesses: With the inability to know when people are uncomfortable comes the inability to know when enough is enough - as it is, Capucine, despite her best intentions, fails at reading people. She simply pushes too hard when she thinks she's doing something in someone's best interest. Cappy is also something of a compulsive liar with a pension to make things bigger than they seem - take, for instance, a boring trip to the market could turn out to be an amazing shopping spree at some popular fashion shop in Paris - oh, how she wishes. It's not so much dramatics as it is Capucine not wanting to be that 'fish girl from Ipswich'. She is, as a whole, simply an exaggerator and would be heartbroken to find anyone calling her a liar. Anything not wand-involved usually ends up being somewhat difficult for her and, as it is, she's not too skilled in classes that require her to think things through without magic unless she's avidly studied up on it -- such as History of Magic, for example.
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why: Hufflepuff. Though she would like to think she shows a bit of traits from every house - and she would like to insist that that goes for everyone and that she is not just tooting her own horn - we both know that she's just a very driven child who often steers off her own path. However, despite her faults, it all boils down to this: Cappy is a hardworker and, above all, strives to please people. Hufflepuff is definitely the place for her to grow.
