Basic Info
Character First Name: Laura
Character's Last Name: Kehoe
Heritage: Pureblood witch, born in Dublin
Sex: Female
Character's Age: 15..in 4th year
General Apprearence: She is quite thin-though not stick thin, size zero, she has hips and curves but she's still thin. She have a nice figure-one which many girls would die for (not literally though) She has a small mouth, nose and ears. Her facial features are very petite, and almost elfin-like. She also has very straight teeth (years of braces) and they're really white too-don't know why, cause she eats way too much sweets! She's quite tanned-especially in the summer. She's out doors quite a lot so she gets a brilliant tan even if she doesn't leave Ireland.
She has a birthmark on the back of her right leg, like a giant freckle! She also has a small scar on her right foot. Laura tends to get a lot of injuries and scars-especially when she's playing sports! She also has a number of small scars which are not really noticible.
Personailty Laura is generally a fun-loving, care-free type of girl. She's easy to get along with, but can be a bit fiery sometimes. Laura will try most things, and she loves having fun. A bit of danger doesn't scare her-especially not when its exciting!
Laura is a bit of a flirt, but she's also extremely loyal. She's trustworthy, and she doesn't like people who go behind other peoples backs. She'd never ditch or bail on a mate-not for anything. She can be quite passionate about things-especially sports! (quidditch) She's quite arty (when she's bothered) and has her own taste which she's not afraid to show. She tends to do things on the spur of the moment.
She is a very optimistic person, but since Voldemort's return to power Laura is terrified that something will happen to one of her close friends. Now Laura focuses on her school work and quidditch, and there has been a massive improvement in her studies since September. This is mainly because she feels that if she knows enough spells then she will be able to help her friends out of any situation.
Laura is quite a caring, compassionate person. It takes a lot to really earn her hate, but if you do she doesn't forgive easily. Mentally Laura's very strong, and she is a very determined person. Once Laura sets her mind to doing something then she will do it.
Likes: Laura likes a lot of things: sports (soccer, gaelic, running, swimming, tennis, rugby and of course quidditch!), reading (anything at all really-books, magazines, newspapers), food (chocolate, Italian, Chinese, Thai, Indian...everything), people (friendly people who are fun to be with and make good loyal friends). She likes listening to all types of music, being with her friends, going shopping, flying, being with her dogs, learning new things and of course-talking.
Laura loves duelling and is a very good dueller. She also loves being outdoors, especially when it is sunny. Laura loves the salty smell of the air near the sea.
Dislikes: Her family. They don't get along-they (her family) are not very nice people. Laura doesn't agree with most of what they say and they think that she is weak and too afraid to be more like them, though Laura doesn't want to be like them at all. They think that they're the "best" and that everyone should respect them just because of who they're friends with, and what money they have. Laura thinks that people should respect you for who you are, what you've done and how you act-not how much you can buy. She also dislikes snobbish people who think that they are above the rest of us, because of their background. Laura doesn't like people who stab you in the back and are disloyal.
She thinks anyone who is halfway decent should be friends with someone for who they are and remain loyal to them because they are a friend. So she doesn't like anyone who uses people and is only friends with them because of what they can do or get for them. She also don't like being cold or particularly wet. And she doesn't like being hungry-which isn't very often as she has absolutely no willpower when it comes to food!
Laura doesn’t like Slytherins as a rule, but has become even more biased towards them since the war, as so many of them took the side of Voldemort. Laura despises the dark arts and anything to do with them.
Character's Abilities
Strengths: She's modest. She's also loyal to her close friends. She's strong-mentally. She's determined and doesn't give up easily. She's quite brave, I mean she'll stand up for herself and others and wouldn't run away. She's not afraid to stand up for what she believes in-no matter what the cost. And she'll speak out against what she doesn't believe in. She has morals-she wouldn't cheat on someone or go behind their back, she would never bi*ch about a friend, and she's very loyal.
Laura is also very clever, and likes to do well at everything-this doesn't always happen though (She's a bit lazy sometimes) But once she decides to do something and puts her mind to it then she'll do it. Even though she can be lazy she always does very well at school anyway-even if she didn't do that much studying! She's very good at sports. Laura is particularly good at quidditch and soccer (a muggle sport).
She went to muggle school for a bit so she can read and write and do maths and stuff. She's quite good at Irish and very good at art. Subject wise she is particularly good (excellent) at transfiguration, charms, and defence against the dark arts. Laura is also very good at herbology but she thinks its a bit boring so she doesn't study it too much. Everything else she's quite good at but she doesn't find them very interesting. She learns/picks up things very quickly. Basically she's very smart, sporty, brave and a very good, loyal friend.
Weaknesses: Laura is extremely lazy at times. She gets distracted easily. If she likes something then she'll always try her best, but she's easily bored so sometimes she doesn't bother too much (She still does well though).
She can't sing to save her life, or dance really come to think of it. She also talks way too much and bores people (with her over talking). She's terrible at potions (always forgets at least one thing or just knocks over the whole thing) and has difficulty sticking to rules (occasionly). She is very good at hiding her feelings from people. If someone hurts her badly, on purpose, she doesn't forgive easily. I'm not sure if that’s a good or bad thing. She can get annoyed about stupid things. Laura is also too proud at times and hates losing or being wrong.
She also has low self esteem at times. Her family don't accept her, and she feels that there is something wrong with her. Sometimes all she wants is to be accepted and she tries her best at everything in an effort to be praised. But at other times she seems determined to make her family hate her more, and does everything to infuriate them.
Character History: Laura was born in Dublin in Ireland. She already had an older brother, and sister who didn't really take to her. She never got along with her sister, but is good friends with Duncan, although their relationship is strained at times due to their different opinions.
I wouldn't say that her childhood was particularly hard-she got everything she wanted. She was just lonely. Her father was never around-always working, and her mother never really payed anyone any attention. When she was 5 they moved to Drogheda. (a town in Ireland).
Laura doesn't get along with either of her parents. Her father is never there, and thinks that she is an 'under achiever' and that she should be more interested in her own kind, instead of always wanting to be 'fratranising with muggles'. Her mother isn't really interested in any of her children, and spends most of her time, inviting her various other snobbish, pureblood friends into her home. They regularly spend the afternoon at the manor, and during this time all three of the children are told to 'keep away'. Although her mother doesn't like any of her children, she particularly dislikes Laura, who is considered the 'failure of the family'.
Laura has been bullied since her first day at Hogwarts by Slytherins-mainly her brothers friends. Duncan has never seen his friends bully Laura before although he does realise that they do bully her. Laura however thinks that he is unaware of it and doesn't want to tell him so. Laura is bullied mainly because she is seen as a blood-traitor as her whole family has been in Slytherin for generations, and she was not sorted there. As a result of the bullying Laura has spent large portions of her school years in the Hospital wing.
Hogwart Supplies
Wand: Holly, 9 inches, flexible. Single string from a tail of a unicorn.
House pet: An owl called Barney. She also has two dogs called Billy and Silly which she does not take to Hogwarts with her.
House: If Laura was put in Slytherin she would probably get straight back on the Hogwarts Express.
Quidditch: Laura lives for Quidditch....she can barely go a day without flying. She plays Chaser.
Anything else? Laura suffers from moderate hemophilia C, which prevents her blood from clotting. Hemophilia C is not as severe as either A or B, and there are not as many side effects/symptoms. However if Laura gets a particularly deep cut she needs to have a plasma infusion to stop the bleeding. Minor cuts and scraps are not a problem once Laura puts pressure to them right away, though they will bleed for longer then normal.
Although Laura is a hemophiliac this doesn't stop her from doing what she wants, although she shouldn't really play any contact sport (quidditch included). However Laura disregards this and continues to play sports, and has never yet had any serious life-threatning injury due to her hemophilia, though she has had a few 'scares.'
