SHANNON WHITBY I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I WANT AND WHO I WANT TO BE
PERSONALITY
STRENGTHS: Persistent - When Shannon wants something she tries her best to get it. Unfortunately for her parents she definitely had a 'please please please' phase. And after about an hour of chipping away even obnoxiously getting on her knees to beg, she typically gets what she wants. Ambitious - Shannon has big dreams and has every intention of fulfilling them. Her ultimate goal is to be the next MoM, but one step at a time. She understand hard work goes into it and as persistent as she is, it's like she never stops. Organized - Shannon is a neat freak. Her notes in school were impeccable. Her room was always neat and tidy. Shannon rarely loses things, because she takes care of them so well. Friendly - A genuinely good person, she was always the one to introduce herself to people. She believes kindness is a virture. Thorough - When Shannon starts something she sees it through. She can't stand having things only half done. Inquisitive - Shannon has a very keen eye for detail, and she often wonder how things work, what people are hiding. Ect. She can be a bit nosy...
WEAKNESSES: Control-freak - Shannon is so neat and tidy and organized, but that's not always so well. She gets very anxious when things are out of place and sometimes gets a little snappy when she's feeling uncomfortable. Slow Learner - This is a little odd because she's a Ravenclaw. Now Shannon is not stupid by any means, but she had a hard time in school regardless of impeccable notes and hours of studying. Fidgety - Shannon hates sitting idly. If she has time to sit and relax, she has time to get herself a step forward. But she never relaxes, and you'll have a hard time peeling her from work. Single-minded - When Shannon has her mind on something, she kind of misses everything around her. And things tend to get past her quite easily. Probably contributes to her slowness in learning, since she has to focus on one thing at a time. Stubborn - This goes hand in hand with her being a control freak, but when Shannon thinks one way is the better way, she'll believe it until you can prove her otherwise. Homebody - Shannon tends to shut herself in to work on work, or whatever. She doesn't really go out for herself. And tends to be wound up because of it.
MIRROR OF ERISED: Shannon being the most successful Ministerin of Magic.
BOGGART: Being a failure.
HISTORY
Shannon was the first and only child of Kevin Whitby and his school sweetheart Laura Madley. They had been together since they were 14 and their love was an absolute inspiration to Shannon.
Even when she was a child her parents noticed how she always had a plan. And when Shannon was 10 she already had a 30 year plan. Go to Hogwarts, join Ravenclaw (It was the best house to come from if she wanted to be MoM by the time she was 35.) Meet the love of her life by the time she was 16. (She gave herself 2 years longer than her parents.) Graduate, get an internship, fast forwards to becoming MoM and then a mother with her Hogwarts sweetheart.
Shannon did get to join Ravenclaw. Not how she'd like however. When Shannon sauntered up to the hat she was fully expecting things to go her way. Ravenclaw! Of course! Did you see all those books she's read. Have you seen her day planner? Academic activities up the wazoo.
No.
The hat told her she'd be destined for Hufflepuff. Like her parents. Not that she had anything against Hufflepuff, but NO. It couldn't be done, there weren't as many Hufflepuff MoM, it would be statistically harder for her. People must have wondered what was going on in her head because she was on the stool for a while. Begging and pleading to be put in Ravenclaw. The hat said he only agreed because Ravenclaw was going to be his second choice.
Shannon began to realized that not everything would necessarily be going to plan. As Ravenclaws go, she was an excellent student. But a terrible test taker. That felt so odd for Shannon to be receiving scores that she would hide from her housemates. By the time she was 16 she hadn't even had a boyfriend let alone met the love of her life. Her test scores kept her from making Head Girl, and by the time she graduated she was having a hard time finding anything that would help her on the fast track to being the head of the Ministry.
