Alexa Martinez // 18 // 6th Year // Horned Serpent  // Half Blood

Alchemical Chemistry Specialization  

FC: Ana De Armas    

Alexa, or Honey Lemon as she is known by friends, is a bundle of energy and joy. She is frequently at the centre of big events, taking pictures and posting them to social media. She has a passion for fashion and hard work but she oddly enough never draws attention to herself for it or at least, she doesn’t mean to. Honey grew up in a family where she was taught that you worked hard and celebrated everyone’s accomplishments, not just your own. In many ways, the field she is most interested in is an uphill climb, being both female interested in a highly scientific field of magic and proving the necessity of such magic in a very anti-nomaj society but she believes very earnestly that if she thinks positive she can achieve her goals.

Honey used to be pretty self conscious about her height, well, she still is but she’s gotten a lot better about it. She’s very tall and loves wearing heels, making her usually around six foot two inches. Usually she intimidates people but sometimes, she inspires jealousy. Ever since she first arrived at Ilvermorny when she was thirteen, she’s been bullied, occasionally she’d be tripped in the hall and sometimes her things would end up in a school fountain but nothing that was life ruining by her reckoning. Lately though, as her work’s been progressing, it’s gotten worse. Fewer and fewer people bother talking to her. She’s been isolated and lonely and been the victim of attempted memory wiping, the worst though, was when an unknown witch or wizard used the imperious curse on her. The event had been traumatizing but she’s been determined not to let it show. Part of her wants to figure out who’s been doing this but more than anything she doesn’t want to be distracted from the work she’s sacrificed so much to do.

Positive Traits:

Kind, Generous, Hardworking

Negative Traits:

Saccharine, Push-Over, Avoidant  

Gogo Tomago // 18 // 6th Year // Wampus // No-maj Born

Alchemic Engineering Specialization

FC: "Newsun” Choi Yoonsun 

Gogo was born with a different name to a family who never really wanted her. She ended up on the streets at an early age and was adopted more or less, by a crime family who gave her the name Gogo Tomago. She engaged in crime and violence but never anything as awful as murder. When she turned eleven however, her whole life changed. She discovered that she was not a normal girl, she was a witch and she had to go to a very special witch school called Mahoutokoro in Japan. She was scared and confused but her crime family was supportive, making sure she had everything she needed and got there safely and had a place to return to in Korea every summer. It turned out that the bratty little girl really excelled at school and for the first time ever she felt as though she could really contribute things to the world. She graduated and became interested in pursuing her magic further so she enrolled in Ilvermorny to specialize in alchemical engineering. Her entire immediate family was so proud of her pursuing her education that they moved with her to the states and set up shop in Adamsville.

Being so connected to both the magical and the non-magical worlds, she always resented the fact that they had to be separate, something she always played pretty close to the chest. With the tensions between hunters and magic folk rising, she sees the dream of fully integrating the worlds slipping further and further away. Having secrets doesn’t bother her, her dreams of making big contributions to wizard travel is a secret, so is her crime family so what’s one more? Still, if there ever came the time to stand up for the no-maj world, she’s always there to do just that.

Positive Traits:

Tough, Smart, Brave

Negative Traits:

Stubborn, Abrasive, Sarcastic

Fredrick Frederickson IV  // 20 // Alumni // Squib

Freeloader

FC:Joe Keery  

Fred, or Freddy as he’s called, has always been a little outcasted, a little bit weird. He was born to one of the richest pureblood families in North America, his father is one of the primary financial donors to Ilvermorny, you could almost say the man own the school. Fred was never his father, he was never going to carry the family name and never would be expected to because he is a squib. He was never ashamed of this and he always understood what it meant, he just was never going to be as important as the rest of his family and he was never going to inherit it all when his folks passed. He knew he would be taken care of though, which was all that mattered to him, besides, he hated the glitz and the glamour of his family’s world, that is, if this chill dude could hate anything.

Despite not being magical, he is what he likes to call a “magic enthusiast.” He is fascinated by magic, by stories like Harry potter out in England, Newt Scamander almost a hundred years ago. As far as the big mysteries go, he’s heard it all, from the missing princess of Montsolei, to the necromancer of Romania, the werelions of Africa all the way to the mysterious legend of the shepherd’s journal. More than anything, he wants to go on one of these adventures and deep down beneath his cool, laid back, goofy exterior, he really wants a chance to be the hero.

Positive Traits:

Generous, Laidback, Funny

Negative Traits:

Lazy, Tactless, Flighty

Hiro Hamada // 17 // 5th Year // Horned Serpent  // Half Blood

Undecided

FC:Fukushi Sota

Hiro was born in San Francisco to a witch and a no-maj, straddling the line between magic and the non magical worlds, loving and respecting both equally and having very little regard for the rules of each. His parents died when he was very young and he was essentially raised by his witch aunt Cass and big brother Tadashi. He was a difficult child because not only did he feel incredibly lonely and frustrated, he was very smart, too smart for his own good. He got in a lot of trouble, magic bot fighting. He was mostly home schooled, not wanting to go to Tadashi’s nerd school Ilvermorny but he was convinced to go when Tadashi tricked him into checking it out.

Before he enrolled, he was also convinced to use his big brain for something legal and productive so he submitted an invention to the magi-tech and alchemy conference in Boston. He created a ground breaking nano-bot technology but there was a fire and he lost not only his tech but his brother who’d gone back into the blaze to try and help someone still inside the building. There was no body to bury but his brother was gone. He ended up going to Ilvermorny anyway, despite himself, perhaps trying to be closer to his brother. Little does he know that his tech has fallen into the hands of witch hunters and being used to kill his kind. Will he uncover the truth of what happened the night of the fire and will he be able to stop his invention being used for evil or will he let the weight of what happened crush him?

Positive Traits:

Intelligent, Street Smart, Caring

Moody, Withdrawn, Arrogant
