LAVENDER BROWN
Not the girl you once knew.

Vital Statistics

Full Name: Lavender Brown

Age: 21

Occupation: Lavender works in Muggle relations, it's a position with very little involvement with the Ministry as a whole, which she prefers. She helps with the communications of information from the wizarding world to the muggle world through Squibs and their families. They occasionally have to work with some Ministry departments when smoothing out cases of accidental magic and breeches in the secrecy of the wizarding world, but never so much that it becomes a problem.

Wand Type: 9 3/4" Holly Veela Hair
Boggart: A Wolf
Patronus: A Lark

Personality

General Behavior/Personality: Lavender isn't the same giggly girl she was back at Hogwarts. The war and her subsequent recovery made her reevaluate her life and the way she was living it. She is much more the sort of person to live in the moment, she doesn't take things for granted, and she doesn't waste opportunities. She's still fun loving, and there is so much she wants to do, but she's more guarded about all that now. She's convinced that the way she looks now is too much of a hindrance for her to really get the things she wants, and so she is quite often settling for second best. She's mostly the same girl, but she's got a bit more of a sarcastic edge to her these days, and she lives much more in reality than she used to.
Strengths: She is a realist, she does her best to always work with what she is given, she doesn't give up easily, carpe diem is her motto these days, says what she means she doesn't have time for quibbling over hurting someone's feelings, goes after what she wants
Weaknesses: She is realistic to a fault - she doesn't see the world as the same bright shining place she used to, she's hard on herself and others, she has a hard time letting go of the past.
Habits: She can often be seen rubbing her neck where her scar runs

Appearance

Gender: Male
Nationality: English

Height: 5'3"
Weight: 103lbs
Build: She's quite short and very thin
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Dark brown, she wears it long and almost always down around her shoulders to help hide the scars, despite the glamors she uses.
Skin: pale

Wardrobe: Working with Muggles and Squibs means that Lavender can often be found wearing muggle clothing, she likes to blend in as much as possible. She is always doing her best to wear clothing and scarves to cover her scars.

Distinguishing Marks: She has scars covering most of her chest, with one very severe scar that runs from her jaw down the center of her chest - She uses glamors to hide all of these but she still feels like they are all people see when they look at her.

Health

Disabilities/Handicaps: None
Physical Health: She's severely scarred after the attack she suffered from Fenrir Greyback. Her most prominent scar runs from her jaw down the center of her chest. Apart from her extensive scarring Lavender fully recovered from the injuries she sustained during the battle at Hogwarts
Mental Health: She's not the same person she was in school, that much is certain. Now whether that's a mental handicap or not is another question. She is convinced everyone can see her scarring despite the glamors she uses to hide them, not to mention the lengths to which she goes to cover them with clothing.
Righty/Lefty: Right
Other: Because Fenrir wasn't in his wolf form while he attacked Lavender she was spared actually becoming a werewolf, however, she does experience some lingering wolfish tendencies. She has heightened senses and angers more easily the closer it gets to the full moon. She doesn't admit to these sorts of things very readily, and she does her best to ignore them completely when she can.

Relationships

Status: Relationship
Significant Other: Hannah Abbott
Children: N/a
Past Relationships: Seamus Finnigan and Ron Weasley

Parents: Stephen and Miriam Brown
Sibling(s): None

Family History:
Lavender is the only child of Stephen and Miriam Brown. As such she was spoiled as much as any only child would be. Stephen worked in the Ministry up until the after the attack on Hogwarts, these days he runs his own consulting agency to separate himself as much as possible from the Ministry.

Lavender was spoiled growing up, and basically thought the world was just a happy sort of place and she would always get exactly what she wanted. This view carried her right through the majority of her time at Hogwarts. Of course after breaking up with Ron and then being on the receiving end of an attack by Fenrir Greyback, her world view has changed quite a bit.

It took Lavender months of treatment and potions and physical therapy to recover from the injuries she sustained as a result of Fenrir's attack. She still is extremely scarred from the attack. She insisted on going back to school to finish up her exams once she was better, despite her parent's protests.

The Brown family does it's best to distance itself from the workings of the Ministry these days. They all feel if the Ministry had done their job the first time it never would have come to an attack on Hogwarts - and it wouldn't have fallen on children to fight the war that should have been left to adults.
