IN-DEPTH INFORMATION Personality and Behavior: One of the first words that comes to mind at thought of Katie Bell? Energetic. Funny, bouncy, outgoing and loud are other good words for Katie. To be more specific, Katie is full of energy and it's completely natural (she's never understood people's need to drink coffee, saying "Merlin, if I drank a sip of that, I'd be bouncing off the walls!"). She will talk to anyone and everyone, whether she knows them or not, and is very quick to make friends. This also contributes to Katie's penchant for gossip; she loves to talk, and if she's already talking, she might as well share and receive interesting information about people. Interestingly enough, Katie has a horrible memory for everything but gossip. She's constantly forgetting what day it is, that appointment she made with the healer or the plans she made to visit a friend. But ask her about the latest gossip involving that famous Quidditch player and she'll immediately launch into a stream of information on the topic. She does have a hot temper though, like many Gryffindors she is quick to anger, but she also is usually quick to forgive. Unless, that is, you really get on her bad side (here's lookin' at you, Draco Malfoy). She is very graceful on the field, and is at her best when she is flying. Katie thinks she has awful bad luck, due to a numerous amount of occurrences, including: the time when Montague of Slytherin intentionally grabbed her head instead of the Quaffle, nearly unseating her. The time when Peeves, in a spare classroom where students were taking their break, pelted her with ink pellets and eventually emptied an entire inkwell over her head. Oh, and the time when Ron passed her the Quaffle so hard that she missed the catch and was hit in the face, causing a nosebleed which wasn't all helped by Fred's "accidental" nosebleed nougat. Because of this, and several other events, she always wears her lucky pink rabbit's foot on a keychain and a necklace with a small glass ball containing a four-leafed clover. She is currently under the influence of Complacens and thinks everything is hunky dory.
Likes: Flying, quidditch players (they're so FIT!), ice cream, boys, the telly, movies, bowling, the smell of fresh-cut grass, boys, gossip, her friends, pizza, beer, music, dancing, oh, and boys. Dislikes: Rain, studying, catty bitchy girls, melted ice cream, soggy cereal, anything gray, boring days. Quirks: Chews bubblegum and pops it really loudly, bites her fingernails when she's nervous, likes to be barefoot. Habits: Orders from the same few restaurants (pizza, chinese) so often they know her voice. Always sleeps naked.
Gryffindors born under this sign are exuberant and full of good humour. They are intelligent, but often do not make the best of students, because they would rather be outside enjoying the fresh air or off studying on their own. They aren't good at diplomatic silence; if a teacher makes a mistake, the Gryffindor Sag will draw attention to it right away, usually loudly and in front of the entire class. At length. These students can get into trouble - their hot tempers make for easy dueling matches, and their impish senses of humour inspire a great many practical jokes. Still, they rarely mean anything malicious. They're too jovial to harbour malice. These Gryffindors are likeable extraverts, on good terms with practically everybody, and they generally do all right in the end. Many excellent Quidditch players come from this sign. Sagittarius is the ninth house of the zodiac and rules the liver, hips, and thighs. Positive traits include optimism, innate wisdom, a philosophical outlook, a love of nature, generosity, joie de vive, flexibility, a keen intellect, independence, energy, natural good luck, foresight, and the capacity to dream big; negative traits include restlessness, tactlessness, clumsiness, naivete, unwillingness to commit, and a tendency to ignore important details while looking at a big, sketchy picture.
Family History:Father: Edward Bell, former chaser for Puddlemere United. Katie is his little girl and he's very proud that she grew up to play Quidditch like him.
Mother: Francie Bell (nee Hunter) a muggleborn witch who worked as a chef/baker at Madam Puddifoot's. She now stays mostly at home where she bakes for her family and friends (with occasional pay).
Brother: Hunter Bell, Katie's one-year-younger brother, who is totally gay and absolutely fabulous, much to their father's dismay. Katie adores her brother though, and lets him stay at her place whenever he wants. They like to hang out and go shopping together. (And check out boys.)
School History: At Hogwarts, to no one's surprise at all, Katie was sorted into Gryffindor, where she quickly made friends with everyone she could; she was especially close to Angie, Ally, Leanne, Oliver, Fred and George. Nothing seemed to be enough to satisfy her energy until she joined the Quidditch team, with great results. Quidditch was her one big love (though she'll never be quite as obsessed as Oliver is). She did alright at her studies but not great, mostly because she had a lot of things she'd rather be doing. She spent most of her time having fun with her friends, though she did get into a number of bad-luck accidents, the time was overall a good one.
Post-School History: After leaving school in 1997, Katie was approached by scouts from Puddlemere United. She joined the squad as a reserve chaser and was promoted to start under the captainship of her former Gryffindor teammate Oliver Wood. She spends her free time relaxing with her friends and just having a fun time. She especially likes getting pizza and beer (sod whatever Oliver says about 'eating healthy', she happens to have a brilliant metabolism). She has dated casually, but nothing serious.
Appearance: At 5'1", Katie is definitely small and relatively thin at 110lbs. Her tiny frame makes her a very speedy chaser, she tends to dart around the other players on the pitch. She has short blond hair and blue eyes and she tends to dress in casual muggle clothes, jeans, tees and zip-up hoodies mostly. She has a tattoo of a small quaffle on her right shoulder blade, and a tiny heart on her hip bone.
