Brief Childhood History:
Emma Claire has lived in the muggle village of Cranleigh her entire life. So far, Emma Claire’s childhood has been typical. Until she was accepted to Hogwarts, she lived in an average three bedroom home with her mother, her father, and her older brother, Mathew, who is fifteen. Her father, Jack, is a pure-blood wizard who works at the ministry of magic. Her mother, Caroline, was born to a muggle family. However, she showed her powers at a young age and was accepted into Hogwarts. After graduating from Hogwarts, Caroline decided that she would use her love for making potions and her enthusiasm for traditional “muggle learning” to become a druggist. She now runs a pharmacy in Cranleigh. Because of her mother’s muggle origins, Emma Claire’s parents were not overly disappointed when her brother did not show an aptitude for the magical arts. Jack and Caroline always told their children they could be anything their hearts desired- whether it was in the muggle world or the magical world.
She grew up attending a muggle state school, Cranleigh C of E Primary school, where she tried her best to live up to her parents’ expectations by receiving excellent marks and always behaving properly. Emma Claire’s parents always emphasized that she do her best at everything she aspired to do. Their insistence on this matter only intensified when they realized that Mathew would not be attending Hogwarts. Although Emma Claire spent a good deal of her time doing homework and chores, she always found time to spend with her brother and her best friend, her first cousin, Carrie Gray. Emma Claire and Matthew are surprisingly close despite their age and gender differences and Emma Claire has always loved Carrie like a sister. So, to Emma Claire, she has two wonderful siblings instead of one.
Strengths: Emma Claire is very bright and is usually very organized, even though some of this is due to the over instance of her mother. Emma Claire loves animals and loves spending time outside. She is also a kind and thoughtful child. At her muggle primary school, she excelled at science and was an advanced reader. Emma Claire is best at herbology, potions, and astronomy. She is also looking forward to taking divination and care of magical creatures when she becomes a third year student.
Weaknesses: Emma Claire has a tendency to not be as self-motivated as she should be. Llike most eleven year olds, she needs some nudging from her mom and dad to get her homework done and to tidy up her room. Also, Emma Claire could be described as “slightly spoiled.” The combined income from her parent’s jobs allow the Grays the ability to buy their children almost anything they want. Emma Claire is used to getting what she wants without having to ask twice. Also, she is adamant about being called Emma Claire and doesn’t mind being insistent about her name. Academically, Emma Claire struggles with history of magic and defense against the dark arts. To Emma Claire, history of magic is the most boring class she could ever be forced to sit through. She doesn’t like defense against the dark arts because thinking about all of the frightening things that were “out to get her” scares her.
Which house do you believe your character belongs in and why?
I think that Emma Claire would do best in Ravenclaw because she is very smart and she is a hard worker who tries her best at everything she does. Some of the Ravenclaw characteristics Emma Claire embodies are tolerance and cleverness. Emma Claire was taught to be tolerant and kind to all people, even those who are different from herself. She is a kind and helpful friend who likes to help others. In fact, she often helps others solve their problems with her cleaver ideas.

Hi hi! :biglove: Welcome to HPRPG! We're so glad you've joined our little corner of the rping world. Before I can get you sorted, there are one or two edits I need you to make for me. Nothing too painful, promise!
While I love knowing the details of her birthplace, I actually just need the town location, not the date or the hospital.
By 'Astrology' do you mean 'Astronomy'? (Or 'Astronamaphooie' as one of my characters says.)
Then, in 'What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why,' being smart and a hardworker are great, but the Ravenclaw traits are wise, steady, witty, open-minded/tolerant, clever, and sharp. Of course, Ravenclaws cannot be all of these things, but you can work a couple into her character.
Thank you~! :biglove: Once you've made the edits, change the subject line from 'Pending' to 'Edited' and someone will look at it ASAP!

RAVENCLAW~!
