Niamh Venator | 17 | Slytherin | Necromancer | TAKEN

-- “Death, especially violent death, will turn the meanest bastard in the world into a nice guy. Why is that?” 

Nobody knows the exact day Niamh was born as her biological mother  never left that information when she abandon her at the age of two.  With no information and despite their best effects nobody came forward to claim her, Niamh was giving to the state to raise it was apparent at a very young age that Niamh wasn’t normal; talking to what looked like herself; flickering lights and the constant chill that seemed to follow her everywhere.

Before her eleventh birthday Niamh witnessed a horrific hit and ran which resolated in the death of her neighbors 5 year old son. Before help had arrived an unseen force draw Niamh closer to the grizzly remains and without knowing how she brought him back from the dead however she didn’t know how to control her powers nor what they were and just before she got her letter to Hogwarts the boy butchered his entire family in a murderous zombie like rage.

Wrecked by quilt she hid herself away.

At seventeen, Niamh now knows she is a necromancer a powerful witch or wizard with the power to comminute and bring back the dead for a brief period of time before they turn ravaged.

Keeping mostly to herself the muggle-born Slytherin is not someone who goes out of her way to talk to you. With her standoff ways she keeps herself busy with reading and the odd company of a spirit now or then.

Primrose Wolfe | 18 | Gryffindor | Werewolf | TAKEN

-- quote to go here.

Born to Beau Wolfe and Jacob Branning-Wolfe, Primrose is the elder sister to Ronan Wolfe, but only by a year. Growing up, Primrose was always the louder of the two. She was bubbly, excitable, and somewhat worryingly fearless when it came to the world of magic and werewolves. It was fair to say that she was taken with the idea of her fathers job as an Auror. Like so many others, Primrose was delighted to be accepted into Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of eleven, and was placed into the house of Gryffindor. Swiftly followed by her marginally younger brother, she remains protective.

She quickly established a good group of friends, and enjoyed the most practical and dangerous of classes, excelling naturally in her subjects. Despite her need for adrenaline, Primrose made sure from and early age that she knew everything there was to know about being a werewolf, and everything there was to know about keeping that in control. She is not secretive about her condition, though at the same time, it can become scarcely mentioned. Her romantic attachments have been unserious, her desire to settle down minimal, and her hard to impress attitude always living up to expectations.

Cordelia Blackthorn | 18 | Ravenclaw | Seeker | Half-Nephilim | TAKEN 

— “The treachery of demons is nothing compared to the betrayal of an angel.” 

Until the age of ten Cordelia Grace Blackthorn thought she was from a normal family of wizards, until she came across a hidden room in her family home in Puddlemere containing old family documents that revealed she was of no ordinary wizarding family at all. The Blackthorn family started out as a long line of pure blooded Nephilim; half human, half angel beings - charged with the protection of the world from demons. In the early 1900s her ancestor Jesse Blackthorn had married Lucie Herondale, the daughter of Tessa Grey; the first half-warlock, half Nephilim to ever exist. 

Since the incorporation of Lucie’s unique mix of demon and angel blood into the Blackthorn family every descendant has been showing increasing signs of wizarding abilities, slowly drifting away from their Nephilim heritage, but Cordelia doesn’t want to be an ordinary witch. Cordelia would much rather have a seraph blade in her hand than her stupid little wand.She was sent to Hogwarts at eleven, kicking and screaming, and placed in Ravenclaw house - of which she is the seeker on the Quidditch team. Ever since she discovered that her past was being hidden from her Cordelia has been very insular and distrustful of everyone around her. She can often be rather cruel, and doesn’t have many friends because of this - she’d much prefer to spend her time training herself to become a warrior. To Cordelia, emotions are a waste of time - they only make things complicated which is entirely unnecessary.

Cordelia is counting down the minutes of her time left at Hogwarts, itching to get away from the restrictions of the wizarding world so that she can join the fight against demons with the other children of the angel Raziel - but is she really cut out for the warrior life her parents are so desperately trying to keep her away from?

Lucille Gabrielle Flamel | 17 | Ravenclaw | TAKEN

— “Learn to let go, you were never in control anyway.”

Imagine Nicolas Flamels joy when on his death bed it was announced that his great great granddaughter had given birth to a baby girl, and not just any girl at that – an incredibly powerful witch. Lucille was born into the family of one of the most celebrated alchemists of all time, her great grandfather was the only known maker of the philosophers stone, a legendary substance which when used can create the elixir of life. Growing up in France Lucie spent the majority of her childhood swotting up on her late grandfather’s works and studies, often finishing experiments he hadn’t got the chance to after finally giving into death when he and his wife – Lucille’s great grandmother – stopped using the Philosophers stone.

When her eleventh birthday came around, Lucie was given the opportunity to choose between l’académie de magie de Beauxbâtons - the school where all her family had harnessed their magical abilities and where her great grandfather had not only met his future wife but also developed his skills as a successful alchemist – or Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizadry, a place she’d heard stories of her entire life and somewhere she had always wished to go. Naturally Lucille chose Hogwarts and upon arrival was immediately sorted into Ravenclaw house due to her incredible intelligence. However the Sorting Hat did toy with the idea of placing the young witch in Slytherin, announcing that he sensed a great power within her that Slytherin would help her contain. Wishing to make her family proud Lucie asked the hat to place her in Ravenclaw which it willingly did so.

In Hogwarts Lucille thrives in all of her lessons, all of them except Defence against the Dark Arts, the extreme power which built up inside Nicolas Flamel for the many years of his prolonged life was passed down into his young heiress. Unable to control the power inside of her Lucille often finds herself in siuations where the magic takes over her, hurting those around her without meaning to do so. DADA is a lesson that should help Lucie gain control over the power within her, but she often finds the lessons more frustrating than helpful, thus tipping her over the edge week in and week out.

Carmel Leticia Calavera | 16 | Gryffindor | Werewolf-Hunter | TAKEN

-- quote to go here.

Growing up as the youngest daughter of Araya Calavera, the leader of the Calavera family of werewolf hunters from Mexico was never easy.  Firstly she was the product of a secret affair her mother had with a British man, and secondly that man was a wizard. Carmel’s magical education was limited due to her mother wanting to focus both her own and her half-brother Severo’s training on becoming hunters.

Carmel has killed one werewolf in her short sixteen years and she enjoyed it tremendously, the coat of the wolf was sold on the black market and her mother insisted she spend the money on whatever her young heart desired. Araya could never have guessed that her only daughter’s wish was to move abroad to the UK in order to meet her father, complete her magical education, and to meet other family’s of hunters operating in Britain.

Carmel Calavera does not make friends easily due to her naturally defensive and cautious nature however once she lets people in she prefers to find a place in a large group. She has traditional values since her family operates under a traditional Hunters Code:

‘Nous chasson ceuz qui nous chassent” or “We hunt those who hunt us” which while simple in wording, covers many situations.

The Calavera’s do not kill younger werewolves (particularly children), they do not kill humans and they only hunt werewolves who do harm to humans and with proof. Her understanding of her heritage is that werewolves are humans suffering from a curse called Lycanthropy which causes them to transform into lupine creatures, particularly during full moon nights. From the point of being bitten and on, the victim transformed into this creature and remained so from sunset to sunrise during the three nights of the full moon, or alternatively from moonrise to moonset (depending on the species.) When transmuted, the human side of the pysche was completely dormant, taken over by a feral predatory mentality that knows only to hunt. When this mentality causes harm to any human, that is when her family will hunt a werewolf.
