Wand: Cece's wands is eight and a half inches long, made from Apple and a Unicorn Tail Hair. It is very Springy with a Spiraled Shaft.
Physical Description: She is short, approximately at 5" 4' on a good day, with a mess of long wavy/curly blonde hair. She's pale with green eyes and has freckles on her nose (they become prominent in the sun) because of her Irish heritage. She's curvy and sort of voluptuous, with a bit of extra loving to go around, but not big-boned. She has soft features, with a round face, wide almond-shaped eyes, a round nose, and medium-sized lips. She's very awkward with her body, and she tries to play it off by being comical about it. Unique features include two noticeable snakebite-esque freckles (or double freckles) on the side of her face and on her neck.
Personality Description: Cece has had an odd upbringing to say the least. She loves music and has been brought up with the oldies, ESPECIALLY the Beatles. She knows every word to every song and what order they go in on every CD that she owns (which, by the way, she owns all of them). She just loves 50's and 60's music in general, really. She was home-schooled up until the age of 11 (when she was accepted into Hogwarts), so at first, she was a bit awkward with other teenagers, but she has grown in that characteristic of herself. And because she was home-schooled for most of her young life, it was hard for her to make friends at first. She is very friendly, but usually way too polite in fear of offending someone and having them hate her. She was incredibly apologetic and beat around the bush basically any time she spoke to the point of it being irritating. Her friends eventually rid her of those habits, but she is still ridiculously apologetic and insecure.
Cece is also a little innocent. When she was 13 years old, her parents tried to give her the talk, but she got so nervous that she told her parents that she already knew everything. So even now, her friends have to fill her in on some of the jokes they make. She is also way too trusting and naive, and that will eminently be her downfall.
She is very much a nerd in the aspect of getting excited really easily about things she likes, like games and, now, magic. That is the reason she has reasonably good grades in classes. She also loves reading, to the point that if she had a good book, she could curl up on the couch and read all day. She's not a big fan of pranking herself, but she'll enjoy watching others do it, as long as it isn't directed towards her. She's also a big softie when it comes to romance. Although she hasn't experienced it herself, she's a hopeless romantic and loves couples. She's not funny herself, but she's got a good sense of humor. Usually the jokes that come out of her mouth are dry puns or really bad (and I mean, REALLY BAD) jokes that cause her friends to wince. But they love her anyway.
Hogwarts has been an amazing experience for her, because not only does she have the very best friends she could ask for, she loves learning about magic and the wizarding world and it's culture. The music is particularly fascinating to her.
History: Cece is a muggleborn, so she and her parents were very surprised, albeit pleased, to hear that she was a witch. Her mother is Irish and moved to Cardiff as a teenager and fell in love with her father at a young age. They are still happily in love today, and they enjoy making their daughter nuts. Her parents are a part of a musical theatre group that travels, an as a child, she toured with them. (That is another reason that she was home-schooled as a child.) Although she loves her parents, Cece doesn't always enjoy the pranks that they pull on her and spends a lot of her time in her room playing games and reading. She had a relatively normal (by her standards) and boring life until Hogwarts.
Her first and second years were a little hard for her. It was hard to be away from her parents for so long, and on top of that, she didn't know anyone. Because she was home-schooled, it was hard for her to make friends at first. Many knew her as the quiet one in class. Her parents became worried when Cece had said she didn't have many friends, but they knew she could do it, so they tried to get her to talk to everyone she could. She tried it at first, but it just didn't suit her. She stayed quiet. Throughout her first year, only only talked to teachers and partners in projects. She made a few friends, but they didn't seem to care as much as Cece did. So she gave up, and became quiet again.
One day, sometime in December of her second year, she heard a few classmates talking about music, both muggle and wizard. Forgetting where she was for a moment, she joined the conversation immediately, asking which bands they were interested in and what wizard music was like. The first girl smiled and told her that she would bring Cece some "Wizard Music" after Christmas. Luckily, the girls were in the same classes together, so any chance they got, they talked about music. They found out they had a lot in common, as well. Cece found out that her friend, named Ariana, was into books and reading as well as music, and they had a lot of the same favorites. They became inseparable. Ariana introduced Cece to her friends, and Cece became very close to this group as well. She was very happy to finally be a part of something, and grew to love these people as her own family.
Her third, fourth, and fifth years were much better, and a lot more fun with her friends, and she began to learn more about the Wizarding World, considering she was the only Muggleborn in their group of friends. She brought home lots of CD's of old Wizard music and her parents were especially excited to hear it. Her classes were much more enjoyable with her friends at her side, and she excelled in most subjects.
She's very excited to start her 6th year, and is eager to make new friends, since a lot of her friends aren't in many of her classes. Of course, she still has Ariana, but she wants to expand her horizons too.

How Do You Fit Into Your House?: She was chosen for Hufflepuff because she is so loyal and true to herself. She is very well-rounded, like Hufflepuffs usually are, and is very open-minded and kind. Her house doesn't discriminate, and she mirrors her house in this way. She is very naive and trusting and that is definitely a trait of the the Hufflepuff House, in my opinion. She is perfect for this house.
Writing Sample: The room was beautiful. All of the wood was a dark cherry that looked smooth and sleek, and the bed had silky maroon sheets that Cece felt the urge to smooth down. There weren't many things that were sitting out, except for a small, dark red stuffed bear sitting on the bed; a few photographs of she, Ella, and their group of friends; the Trengrove family crest; and a bottle of ink and a quill on the desk. As Cecelia took in the surroundings, she couldn't help but notice the small silver necklace atop the smooth cherry desk. Too curious for her own good, she picked it up gently by the locket, careful to not let the chain hit the desk too roughly. She shook with anticipation as she began to pry the locket open. Almost there, she thought.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" a voice from behind her cried angrily. She jumped from fright and nearly dropped the locket. It was promptly snatched out of her hands and she turned to face her angry friend.
"I was j-just-" she stuttered, having never seen Ella this angry.
"Just WHAT?! Snooping on my private stuff?" Cece flinched at the venom in the brunette's voice.
"I-I'm sorry!" she replied, trying to reason with her. "I w-wasn't snooping, it was just laying there-"
"Well, I don't care! You have no right whatsoever to do that! I want you out of my room! NOW!" The blonde scurried out with a metaphorical tail between her legs. The second she got out of the way, the sturdy door slammed behind her, nearly catching her on the bum.
Sum up your character in one paragraph: Cecelia is a sixth year who is incredibly eager to return to Hogwarts. She is kind, caring, a bit naive, and innocent. She may be sweet, but if you hurt her friends, there will be hell to pay (pardon my french). She is an acquired taste, as some might say. You'll either like her a lot or you won't at all. She curious and goofy and tells really bad jokes. She's pretty awkward, too, especially about her body. She's naturally curvy and she's never really gotten used to it. She has long curly blonde hair that's usually pretty messy, and green eyes from her mom. She also got her pale skin, freckles, and slight temper from her mother's side, which incidentally, is Irish. Her mother moved to Cardiff as a teenager and fell in love with her father very quickly. They are still very in love today (much to Cece's chagrin), and while their daughter is away, they tour as a musical theatre group. She is very happy to be in Hufflepuff, although her has friends from other houses as well.
