General Name: Kate Adelle Weasley nee Bell Nicknames (and who is likely to use them): Katie by everyone. Other various nicknames by other various people. Katie never keeps track. Age: 26 Birthday: August 18th, 1979 (Leo) Place of Residence (an address in Hogsmeade unless something else has been decided with the mods) #23B Merlin Close
Appearance Height: 5'7" Weight: 125lbs Eyes: Greenish Hazel Hair Colour & Style: She has warm brown hair that is long, thick and wavy. It's normally worn back in a loose pony tail, braid or something similar. When she does wear her hair down it's for a very important event/date. Skin tone: Olive and tan. She has light freckles on her nose and cheek bones. Build: Athletic, fit and toned. Strong and confident posture. She's pretty, relatively thin and generally attractive. Distinguishing Marks: A long thin scar on her lower back, and a thick and wide scar on her right shoulder Dress Style: (remember that most wizards would wear robes, and that there is a war going on which might effect supplies) Tomboyish and casual almost completely. She tends to dress down for everything. Low rise, tighter fitting jeans or baggy trousers. Nice fitting jumpers and jackets. Her robes are very nicely cut, and always flatter her, but they are often very simple. Her favorite colors are browns, greens, and soft oranges. Very earthy toned. Oh and red of course. Things they would always carry with them (optional): Her wand, a small hunting knife (just in case) and a silver celtic knot on a piece of silk thread around her neck, and her wedding ring. Other: She has a particularly pretty face, with very nice bone structure and a nearly perfect nose. If Katie were inclined to be vain, she would be about her nose.
Health Disabilities/Handicaps: None Health in general – both mental and physical: Physically, she's had her nose broken once from a bludger. It was fixed perfectly though, so there's no scar or anything. One broken arm, a dislocated collar bone, and a broken ankle are all injuries she got through Quidditch. She also has scars from some curses. A long thin one on her lower back, and a thick and wide one on her right shoulder. Mentally, she's perfectly fine, aside from the usual hazards of being an Auror. Other: N/A
Personality First Impression (others have of you): Energetic, outgoing, willful, funny and stubborn. General Behaviour: She's smart, in a very relational way. Life has to be moving for her and she has to be doing something. She's laid back and relaxed when it comes to people, but very restless. Motion and movement and pace are necessary to her daily life for Katie to be happy. She's not content with the basic and simple. Katie needs challenge and pressure and risk. The sameness of day to day life bores her. That’s partly why she loves Quidditch so much.
She has a great sense of humor and loves to play practical jokes on people. However, she needs some egging on to do it very often. She's an encourager and exhorter to people, and for her friends she's not just the listener. She's the advice giver. If people come to her to vent, Katie will listen, but she will also give her opinion afterwards. She's not someone to come to if you want general sympathy and a pat on the back. Katie is a good friend, and she cares about people, but she's not about to lie to them or pretend for them. If she loves them, she'll be honest. There is no bull shit in Katie. It's all straightforward. What you see is what you get.
Katie is a very strong person. Not much can get her down. It will take a lot to break her, and she's going to keep soldiering no matter what. For her, giving in isn't an option. No matter what life throws at her, she will deal with it. She's not self centered, or self pitying and she finds people who are irritating and obnoxious. Patience is non-existent in Katie for people like that. Her mind set is: if something is tough for you, deal with it and don't whine. Whining is a foreign concept to her. In fact, it's hard to get Katie to even talk about things that are hard for her. Her friends need to keep their eyes open, otherwise she won't say a word.
Katie is stubborn. What she wants, she'll keep going for till she gets it. Jobs, guys, whatever. That stubbornness gives her a lot of confidence. Her bearing is self assured without being arrogant. That confidence is innate and unstudied, and it's attractive because of that. She's not naive in any way, shape or form. In fact, Katie is very practical about the world in general. She sees the bad as well as the good, and she deals with it equally. There's no point in getting carried away by either circumstance. She will not let herself get down and depressed about circumstances in general. It's a bloody waste of time in her opinion. Moping and whining will get you no where. She's very no nonsense about that sort of thing. Strengths: Very strong minded, emotionally. Nothing really phases her and she will deal with whatever is thrown at her. Very good leadership qualities. In fact, Katie is a natural leader. Her inner confidence helps that. She's a gifted Quidditch player, Chaser to be specific. Katie is a very good people person as well. Weaknesses: Not the best at communicating. She tends to be very blunt and not always at the right times. Quick to be irritated by people who are moody and depressed, she doesn't always have patience with them. She can be restless to the point of not being able to sit still at times. Habits: Quidditch is mainly a habit/hobby now. She hates that it is, but it's something she has to live with. She regularly frequents the Three Broomsticks, she bites her nails when she's nervous, and she always drinks a few gallons of coffee a day. Enjoys: Coffee, Quidditch, sex, men, being an Auror, practical jokes, Fred Dislikes: Smoking, whiners, incompetence, not being understood, and the dark arts Other: N/A
Family Spouse/partner (if applicable): Married to Fred Weasley Parents: Orpheus and Adelina Bell Sibling(s): One younger brother, Phineas whom she calls Phin. Children: None. Good Lord, no. Bloodline: Mixed. Technically pureblood, but not clearly. Her parents were both witches/wizards, but her mother was Muggle born and her father was half blood. Family History: Both of Katie's parents went to Hogwarts in the same year and met there. Her Dad was from a half blood family and his father was the muggle. His Mum was from a pureblood wizarding family, but not one of any importance. Adelina Gibbons was muggle born. Both came from very laid back, relaxed and comfortable families. They fell for each and other and married a year out of Hogwarts. Not a terribly big fuss was made, other then that of very pleased parents and relatives. Orpheus worked in the Ministry in a low level, but comfortable job and Adelina stayed at home and played Mum.
Katie grew up in a very relaxed atmosphere. She lived in the same neighborhood as almost all of her relatives and grew up running around wild and playing Quidditch with all of her cousins. Phin was born five years after she was, and being the baby of the family was very much petted.
After Hogwarts and the beginning of the war, Orpheus was killed in the attack on the ministry. It devestated Adelina, and although she was a strong woman, she never quite got over it. She became rather protective of Phin and blamed Katie to a certain point because her daughter was an Auror. It just made for a convenient outlet and Katie understood that. Pets: Odd - Northern Hawk Owl Other: N/A
Social/Romantic/Sexual Close Friendships: Fred and George Weasley, Alicia Spinnet, Sophia Fawcett, Oliver Wood, Kingsley Shacklebolt Known Enemies: Aside from Death Eaters in general, Katie has never quite forgiven Rosmerta for the whole necklace incident in her last year. Sexual Preference: Straight. Very happily so. Turn Ons: Athleticism, a very good sense of humor, strength of character, good looks, games, bluntness Turn Offs: Sameness, business oriented men, dullness, flexibile character, overly done flirting Past Relationships: A fling with Fred. A fling with George. A fling with Fred and George. All during her last year at Hogwarts. A few fun and casual relationships that lasted a few months each in Hogwarts as well. Since, she's had one or two that lasted a few months or so each. Nothing serious. Just general, semi-committed relationships that ended generally well. What they think about sex and love: Sex is great, and she loves it. Love is available but a bit distant of an idea. Katie is very laid back and happy go lucky when it comes to this particular subject. She figures she'll fall in love one day, but she's in no hurry. When it happens, it happens. As far as sex, she'll enjoy it and have fun with it. She views it as a great game and something enjoyable and often casual. Other: Katie favors bluntness. She hates beating around the bush and subtlty when it comes to sex and relationships annoys her, like a true Gryffindor. If you want her, tell her. It's that simple. She'll reciprocate.

Current Occupation: Auror Other Occupations (side incomes, volunteer work, illegal activities): None Monetary Situation: Tight, but comfortable. She can take care of the necessities. Other: N/A
Current situation Affiliations & Organisations: The Aurors at the Ministry, and through recent events, the Order of the Phoenix. Faction this character supports: The light (Aurors specifically) Role in the ongoing war: After the instance with the necklace and Imperius in her sixth year and her consequent evacuation to St. Mungos, Katie came back to Hogwarts to finish her seventh year. She had recovered remarkably well, to her own surprise. The Imperius wasn't something she ever wanted to experience again, and her stubbornness helped her to get over it rather quickly.
Katie was able to devote herself to finishing her education. She had always wanted to play Quidditch though. It kept her sane when she thought she wouldn't be able to handle being stationary and useless anymore. During the finish of her seventh year it helped her to cope with the drastic changes in both the school and the world around her. However, her dream of playing professional Quidditch evaporated toward the end of the year. In light of the war, Quidditch just wasn't a viable option anymore. She knew there would be no way for her to play it professionally, and that there was a need for people to step in actively. So, instead of keeping with her dream, she became an auror.
Since that decision, she's devoted herself completely to her work. She hasn't let herself be sidetracked by her longing for Quidditch. She worked hard to become a competent auror and she enjoys her job. It makes her feel useful and active. The years since her graduation have given her a lot of experience with war, curses, pain and healers. She's made a few trips to St. Mungos before it was moved to the Shrieking Shack, as well as one or two afterwards. She's also become very familiar with the need for an outlet. The war and being an auror keep her occupied, but the mental and emotional stress that goes with that are in need of decompression regularly. So, for the last three years, she's made a habit of doing her own thing a couple nights a week. Whether that involves shagging, drinking or playing Quidditch in her backyard is completely up in the air. It just has to be a day or night for her.
Finally What is your character's deepest, darkest secret (one that other game characters probably wouldn't know and that he/she would prefer they didn't find out about) Also list the names of anyone who might know, or might be suspicious of this knowledge: - Katie has a carefully secret fascination with the color pink (absolutely no one would know this) - If she was given the opportunity to play Quidditch again, even in the middle of the war, she would drop everything and do it. (no one knows this that she is aware of)
