Character Information
Name: Jesseca Canet
House: Gryffindor
Age / Birthdate: 14 / 21st October
Year: Fourth

Bloodline / Heritage: Half / English (with a spot of French from her dad’s side)
Personal History: Jesseca is an only child, and was home-schooled before coming to Hogwarts. Her parents decided to home-school her after a near scare, when the young 4-year-old Jesseca unknowingly revealed her parentage to a classmate whose family are inclined towards the Dark Arts. The reason behind the need to keep her parentage a secret was because Jesseca’s mother was a pureblood Slytherin who did not support Voldemort’s ideology, like a good Slytherin she was expected to be. She broke off ties with all her yearmates after graduation, save for one. Jesse’s mother goes by an alias, as her last name will be a dead giveaway, being of an old pureblood name. Her father was a half-blood Gryffindor, and they met one fateful night, when they were both out for some late night flying in their 3rd year. Their marriage went unpublicised; only a select few (e.g. Dumbledore, cause he knows everything) were in the know. Jesse’s mother works as a piano teacher (having been trained in the fine arts as a child) teaching children in the Muggle world; her father in the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

Personality: Though Jesseca grew up in a loving caring family, her accidental slip of the tongue when she was four - which very nearly killed her family - left a rather deep psychological scar. Since then, the once gregarious girl turned rather withdrawn, and would only let down her guard around close friends and family. However, her true parentage remains a secret, even towards her closest friends; she would say her mother was a muggle with no magical ability. She prefers her own company, but will open up and can be quite friendly if you manage to push the right buttons. Jesseca may seem quiet and introverted, but is definitely no pushover, with a fiercely stubborn streak and a temper that would make redheads proud. She appears aloof to acquaintances, but that is only her way of self-preservation.

Physical Description: Jesseca has brown eyes, and her oval face is framed by dark brown wavy hair - which she hated as a kid (little boys loved tugging at her hair and it annoyed her so much that she accidentally gave one of them large ears when she was three…) - but don’t mind so much now. She usually wears her hair down, as she feels too exposed with it tied up. She is of average build, and about 5’5. Often seen in jeans, she only wears skirts if it is absolutely necessary, as it heavily restricts her movements (she likes jogging and flying).

Preferred Body Model: Eliza Dushku

Please give us a sample RP, at least one paragraph in length.
Jesseca never daydreamed in classes, but History of Magic was an exception. The weedy voice of that ghost of a professor, coupled with the slightly stifling heat of the classroom, soon had her thoughts veering towards That Foggy Evening (yes, it deserved capital letters, in her opinion). She was flying to let off some pent-up frustration, doing loops round the Quidditch hoops, when a dark shape appeared, zooming closer by the second. Jesseca strained her eyes and tried to make out who it was, but against the dizzying pinpricks of light from the castle and the fog, she couldn’t even make out the person’s build, with the robes billowing around the mysterious flier (him? her?), much less the features. The flier suddenly veered, and Jesseca’s heart stopped for a terrifying second. She did not dare to move, for fear of colliding with the flier’s unpredictable flight pattern. The flier suddenly zoomed dangerously close to her, and past her into the fog, leaving her robes and hair billowing in the aftermath. Whoever did that was totally reckless, she thought, and after taking a deep breath, gripped her broomstick as firmly as she could with sweaty palms, descended slowly to the ground. Only when her feet were firmly on her ground did her shocked mind finally register that her hair was billowing in the breeze. Her hair band was gone. That flier had nicked it from her as he or she flew past.

Hobbies and talents: Listening to music (which varies from rock to soothing music depending on her moods) and reading.
Weaknesses: Jesse does not trust easily (which may well be her downfall), can be too cutting if provoked, cannot take failure easily, appears entirely too aloof
Best subjects: Potions, Transfiguration, Charms (her parents taught the elementary basics before she even entered Hogwarts)
Worst subjects: History of Magic – it just bores her to tears
Broom: Maybe a Nimbus 2000?
Wand: Dark brown, 11”, willow with a single phoenix tail feather
