First and Last Name: Leah Robinson
Bloodline: Half-blood
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Green
General Build: Petite
Height: Short
Birthplace: London
Brief Childhood History:
Leah was born Leah Fiona Robinson in Hammersmith Hospital, London, in a room overlooking the bleak muggle prison Wormwood Scrubs. Her father died before birth, but her mother is still alive and well, and cares for her. Her father was a muggle-born, her mother pure-blood, so she was aware of magic before she got her letter, but had never really seen much of it because she lives in a muggle community with very few witches and wizards nearby. To many this seems odd, because her accidental magic has been more than above average, and the few tines she did help with potions she was very gifted.
She grew up in a tiny house in Hammersmith, on a road called Goldsmith road. Her mother home-schooled her, along with the girl next door, Susanna. Leah had very little magical training before Hogwarts, except for helping her mother brew some potions and accidental magic. Leah now has twin baby brothers, Robert and James. Leah gets on well with Susanna, but once in a fit of excitement turned her hair pink, which caused a slight rift between them as Susanna is unaware of magic. Leah got very upset during the time when Susanna would not talk to her as she struggles to make friends despite her cheerful, sweet disposition.
Leah gets on very well with her mother, and Robert and James, but feels a little jealous of her brothers. Her step-father William does not seem to care for her, only for her brothers, which causes her a great pain. Leah does not get on, however, with her grandmother Charlotte. Charlotte was a Slytherin and is a Voldemort supporter, and often causes family arguments. Leah dislikes these family rows because she finds them distressing and hates to be on the wrong side of anyone, especially family.
Leah went on one holiday in her entire life, to Wales. There she truly learnt the depths of her magic when she fell into some deep water but seemed to float like cork despite her struggling. Leah loves new places, as a result. She is often labelled as mischevious because she is so inquisitive, but she truly isn't.
Strengths (At least three, including Personality and Academic):
Leah, although she does not appear intelligent, actually is exceedingly so. She especially excells at Potions. This is probably because of helping her mother sometimes from an early age, but also because of her father. Although Leah never met him, she has his gift. He was incredibly gifted in the subtle science of potions, and in his younger days would often brew potions in a long forgotten bathroom to spike his enemy's drinks (nothing serious, mind: just hair colour changinh potions and the suchlike). And although Leah appears sweet and good, she has quite an eye for pranks when she wants to! Leah is also very good at Herbology. From a young age she has found plants and herbs growth interesting, and was delighted when she found out that you learnt it at Hogwarts. She has always grown basic herbs and vegetables, and always kept a small devils snare in the garden (it was her job to keep it small!). Leah finds Herbology very interesting, and calming as well. If she is upset, she just needs to trim down her peach tree or prune the strawberry bush and she'll be instantly calmed. This is her mothers trait, however.
Leah is a very sweet, kind person. She genuinely believes that everyone else is better than her, and that she is required to care for everyone. She is extravegant with birthday and christmas presents, but wants little or nothing in return. People often think that she is simply faking it, to get attention and friendship, but she truly is like that. Her sweetness is genuine. She is also intelligent, but she hides this with her constant questions and sweet demeanor. In schooling she learns very quickly, which lead her mother to believe when she was smaller that she was a Ravenclaw at heart, but her sweet demeanor prevented this. She is just to nice to be anything but Hufflepuff.
Weaknesses (At least three, including Personality and Academic):
The only subject that Leah is truly awful at is Transfiguration. She just doesn't get it! She can't understand how you can physically change one thing into another. This to her mother is quite amusing, as Leah also doesn't understand how someone can pretend to be nicey-nicey one day then be a bully the next: it is the same thing. But she just can't do it. Her mother once allowed her to try and change a match into a needle: she exploded the table. Some of her accidental magic is transfiguration: changing an object into a pile of smouldering ashes.
Leah has a fierce temper, which can sometimes lead to destruction. When she knows she is in the right or is right, she argues completely for her case. It takes a lot for her to lose her temper, but when she does she can shout very loudly. This is why often people do not mess with her because she is so sweet, because most have been on the recieving end of one of her blasts of temper. She also talks far to much, and can irritate people with her constant friendly chattering. People often describe her as a bird, just twittering and twittering. However, some people love to listen to her happy talking, as it cheers them. Leah also has a very low opinion of herself, thinking herself as ugly, fat and stupid. Of course, most disagree, but she won't be swayed. She hates herself, practically. This is partially why she is so humble and lowly (she is naturally humble). She sometimes wishes she didn't exist, purely because she thinks she makes others miserable.
House you think your character belongs in: I believe that Leah is a Hufflepuff at heart. She is sweet and kind, she loves other people, she gets on well with everyone and she treats everyone with cheer. She doesn't hold at all with house animosity, however, so would be happy in any house, and in some ways would fit in any house: the intelligence of Ravenclaw, ambition of Slytherin, courage of Gryffindor and pure heart and mind of Hufflepuff. However, Hufflepuff is the best choice for her.

Heya Leah and welcome to HPRPG~!
However, before we can sort you, there's a matter of Leah's strengths and weaknesses to go over. ^^; See, while the basics are good, we're not looking for lists. We're looking for full paragraphs here, as with her history, and an explanation of why these specific strengths and weaknesses are important to her character. :3 Additionally, please don't separate them with extra categories to differenciate between academic and personality- it sort of messes up the flow of the ~*Official HPRPG Character Sheet*~! Feel free to check out some approved sheets for a better idea of what we're asking for if you'd like! :biglove:
Once you've made the above change just swap the title from 'pending' to 'edited'!
