Quiet, confident and very astute, he was always quite aware of what was going on.Emma TanisThunderBorn: 1886 / Died: 1970 / Culture: full blood Chippewa / Occupation: healer Relationship: family: grandmotherAbout Her: Tulojow and her brother were raised, largely, by their grandparents. Tulojow's interest in alternative forms of magic and healing originate in what she observed in her grandmother's work and learned from her.Richard Ciqala NagdeBorn: 1913 / Died: 1944 / Culture: full blood Chippewa / Occupation: airforce pilot Relationship: family: fatherAbout Him: Tulojow respects the memory of her father and still keeps the few letters from him safe. However, due to her age when he left home, there's no real emotional basis to the relationship.AbedabunRavenwing NagdeBorn: 1914 / Died: 1940 / Culture: half Chippewa and Cree / Occupation: housewife Relationship: Family - mother (NPC)About Her:Similar to her father, Tulojow remembers little about her mother. She loves her, as a mother, but knows little of her as a person Albert Twowing NagdeAge:68 year old / Culture: Chippewa / Cree / Occupation: rodeo bull breeder Relationship: Family - Brother, Close Friend (NPC) About Him:After the death of their parents, the bond between the two siblings grew stronger out of necessity. While they were younger, Al always readily tried to fill the role of protective brother, despite being younger. While they still share a close relationship, Al has never understood Tulojow's need to travel and stay away from home. Relationships Patamon BatocheBorn: 1932 / Died: 1986 / Culture: Chippewa - North Dakota / Occupation: store clerk Relationship: Ex-Husband Married: 1957 / Divorced: 1959 Son's NameAkando / / Born: 1958 / Died: 1958 About Him: When she first returned to the reservation after graduation, her brother introduced her to a friend. They married and he joined her on early travels. He left, returning to the reservation after the death of their son.Dakarai Harare Born: 1936 / Died: 1982 / Culture: Zimbabwean Relationship: Ex-HusbandMarried: 1966 / Divorced: 1969 Son's Name Kato / Born: 1968 / Died: 1969 Daughter's Name Nia / Born: 1968 / Died: 1969 About Him: During an extended stay on assignment in South Africa, Tulojow met and fell in love with Dakara during one of her many unofficial excursions into Zimbabawe. They were together for 3 years, though after the death of the twins, the marriage failed quickly.Calum TrenorBorn: 1932 / Culture:Australian / Occupation: Rancher in SW Australia Relationship: Ex-Husband Married: 1976 / Divorced: 1979About Him: Again, love struck during an assignment. They were married for three years before Calum left for a younger woman.NOTE: Tulojow is quite private about the details of past personal relationships. It's unlikely anyone but a best friend would know much about her history. Friends KabirAhmedAge: 40 years old / House/Year: Calachakra Temple School Alumni / Occupation: Colonel, Indian Border Security Force; AurorRelationship: family - by spirit; honorary son About Tulojow: I have gone running to Hogwarts because I need a friend. I have friends, of course, but…the mother who brought me into the world didn’t want me, and the one who raised me is gone. One is never too old to need a motherAbout You: I've known Kabir for many years, now. I don't remember what year it was, but during one of my trips into India, he was assigned to me by the local authorities. We all know how well I work with local authorities. Fortunately, Kabir was able to not take my deviance too much to heart. And, I owe him my freedom on many occasions and my life on a few of them. Since my trips to India have become more limited these days, I'm glad to see he's come west. AdonEleorAge: 28 years old / House/Year: Beit Gaddol, Gibbor / Occupation: AurorRelationship: family friend, honorary son About Tulojow: Family friends, so I should hope so. We visited back-and-forth a few times. You might not recognise me anymore, though. Hear a bit about you from Dree. I really respect you because, that I know, you're about the only person he can be pleasant around without the influence of sedatives. You have my respect. Then again, he used to come back from your place smelling peculiar, so perhaps it wasn't without . . . alternative influences. And for that, you have even more of my respect.About You: All of my old colleague's family are, honorarily, my family. Life's path has left me closer with Dree but I still feel protective of Adon.DreoganEleorAge: 31 years old / House/Year: Beit Gaddol, Or Alumni / Occupation: DoIM: Head of the Office of Near East RelationsRelationship: honorary son, family - by spirit About Tulojow: I'd imagine that Dreogan Z. Eleor (Dree's father) and she were very dear friends, having very progressive views of society, authority, and tolerance. Dreogan, Sr. was a very respected theorist in his field and social critic. I'd imagine they wrote letters to each other at the very least. When Dreogan Jr. began to travel extensively after his father's death and also embrace the hippie lifestye (complete with chacos, birkenstocks, and socialist communal living), I'm sure he and she corresponded, if not even visited each other. At some times, Dreogan felt he had nowhere to go. Perhaps he went to live with her for a couple of months? He probably goes to her for advice from time to time. Dreogan also works for the Ministry but is in a precarious situation at times due to his liberal and often controversial background.About You: I've been friends with his father for years and, though I drifted in and out, according to where my assignments took me, I've watched Dree grow up. My home and time are always open to him and I am pleased to see what a fine young man he's grown into. His father would be proud Akiva KatzAge: 28 years old / House/Year: Ravenclaw Alumni / Occupation: Ministry LibrarianRelationship: friends / Possibly: family - by spirit About Tulojow: Akiva stayed at Tulojow's for almost a month after she was discovered. Tulo took care of her and Akiva was happy to have the company while making her recovery. Many times, Akiva would show her thanks by taking advantage of Tulo's kitchen and baking something up and tried to be as sociable and easy to take care of as possible. She really likes Tulo and wants her to be impressed; and, of course, she is dating Dreogan, who knows Tulo very well.About You: It was a privilege to have this young woman stay with me during her recovery. She's a remarkable young woman and I hope she recovers fully. As a part of Dree's family, she's also a part of my family as well. A.A.ShepherdAge: 69 years old / House/Year: Red Rocks Alumni / Occupation: GamekeeperRelationship: acquaintances / Possibly: friendship, camaraderie, possible future romance About Tulojow: I've only just arrived at Hogwarts and though I am satisfied to be a Hermit, I like people and enjoy their company. Meeting folks and maybe impacting their lives is a must for Shepherd men.About You: Big, husky and sweet as anything. I've only just met the newest Hogwarts Gamekeeper but he's a great edition to the staff.CandiceStevensonAge: 26 years old / House/Year: Hufflepuff Alumni / Occupation: Ministry PsychiatristRelationship: being mentored / Possibly: close friends About Tulojow: Tulojow is very dear to me. She's a sweet, supportive lady. It's wonderful to know she supports my efforts, when it seems so many others only laugh at what I'm trying to accomplish.About You: Candice is a lovely, charming young woman and (though they may not recognize it) the Ministry is lucky to have her. I've been campaigning at the Ministry for years for a resident psychiatrist. Whether that had any influence on the decision to hire Candice, I can't say - but I'd be proud if it was. She's bright, intelligent and manages to keep a positive attitude despite the stress of the Minsitry. I'm honored to be considered her friend Colleagues GrahamBombayAge: 31 years old / House/Year: Ravenclaw Alumni / Occupation: Herbology Professor; Head of Ravenclaw HouseRelationship: colleagues / Possibly: begrudging respect About Tulojow: ...About You: Graham is a curious young man. He's a bit course but easy enough to get along with. 'Course, I have rather thick skin so that might help.Ophelia GrimlishAge: 30 years old / House/Year: Ravenclaw Alumni / Occupation: Divination ProfessorRelationship: coworkers / Possibly: friends About Tulojow: We've met, I am sure at staff orientation.About You: A charming woman. We get along rather well but she's up in her tower and I'm out in my cabin. We don't cross paths too often. Samuel HarcroftAge:58 years old / House/Year: Gryffindor Alumni / Occupation: Senior AurorRelationship: Friend, Former Coworker / Possibly: Future Confidante About Tulojow: They would have been Aurors at the same time, she would ahve been an Auror for 14 years when he joined, maybe she helped train him? I doubt he would have been one of the ones who were not sorry to see her retire ( he's not universally popular himself).About You: I vaguely remember when Sam started with the Ministry. He, I'm sure, heard the spattering of rumors about me but seemed to not take them too much to heart. I made it a point to catch up with him when I was back in the UK between assignments but I hope to get to know him better now that I'm here for good Archer RadleyAge: 37 years old / House/Year: Hufflepuff Alumni / Occupation: AurorRelationship: former coworker, friendly rivalry About Tulojow: They worked together for the later part of Tulojow's Auror career. She must have had to deal with him when he was new, and then as they got older, their styles don't exactly line up - but no one could argue with results. Their relationship isn't going to be winning any awards, but it isn't going to tear down any houses either, if that makes sense.About You: Another promising young auror. Being a bit on the clean cut and rule-abiding side, our methods never quite agreed but we are all aurors in the end.Tamis RaynorAge: 34 years old / House/Year: Ravenclaw Alumni / Occupation: Head of the Auror OfficeRelationship: former coworker, professional relationship ended badlyAbout Tulojow: Tamis has always believed that Nadge was a good Auror, but too much of a loose canon to be reliable. When Raynor became Head of the Auror Office, their methods clashed, causing some friction. Raynor still respects the former comrade but is glad to be rid of her from a professional standpoint.About You: Really, on some level, I pity anyone that finds themselves in the position of having to be my "boss." And, in my forty years in the ministry, I have had a few of them. I don't dislike or disrespect her - in fact, she seems a very promising young auror. Unfortunately, I neither respect her more or less than anyone else I encounter. I believe in true equality and, on the downside of it, I'm afraid I don't give extra credit to those who have "authority." Directives are usually taken as suggestions. But, I do regret having to retire and, at times, miss being out in the field. I look forward to whatever opportunities might come out of the DoMLE. Aileen ReidAge: 33 years old / House/Year: slytherin alumni / Occupation: Ancient Runes ProfessorRelationship: acquaintance / Possibly: friends, rivals? About Tulojow: They have little in common, but I’m sure they met at the Welcoming Feast or something similar.About You: I haven't had that many interactions with the Ancient Runes professor - she's welcome to stop by for tea, though.AberdeenSpencerAge: 29 years old / House/Year: Gryffindor Alumni / Occupation: AurorRelationship: former coworker, acquaintance / Possibly: friends About Tulojow: Aberdeen was acquainted with Nagde when she joined the DoMLE, but knew her more by her reputation than by interacting with her. She didn't know what to make of her in her training years, but over time she came to admire veteran Auror's moral code and how she implemented it.About You: A new edition to the Auror office, I must say Deen shows quite a bit of potential. I'd be more than happy to get to know her better. Students Eirene AntonopoulosAge: 11 years old / House/Year: Ravenclaw / 1st / Occupation: StudentRelationship: student / Possibly: being mentored About Tulojow: They haven’t met, but Eirene seeks a lot of attention, especially from adults. Eirene might hear of Tulojow being eccentric, but kind towards students, so she’ll keep her in mind as an adult to seek out.About You: This charming young woman seems to be on the receiving end of a fair bit of bullying. She's always welcome for some cocoa. FaunaBlakeAge: 17 years old / House/Year: Hufflepuff / 7th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: student / Possibly: being mentored About Tulojow: Fauna has gotten to know Tulo better through her discovery of Akiva Katz during the festival, and a recent visit to her hut. She respects and likes Tulojow and views her as someone she can come to with problems. Fauna struggles with confidence much of the time but Tulo has a way of making her feel better.About You: She lacks a little in confidence but Fauna is a bright, promising young woman. She's been the unfortunate witness to some recent crimes but she can rest assured, while at school, she's quite safe.KiaFerrisAge: 22 years old / House/Year: Slytherin Alumni / Occupation: MagizoologistRelationship: unknown About Tulojow: Kia works at the ministry and I am SURE that Tulo and Kia's father Sean have met... especially since Sean is pretty well known in his feild and might even come and give lectures in COMC.About You: I've crossed paths with Kia several times during my year as gamekeeper but I, admit, I haven't had the privilege of getting to know her well.Joshua HarcroftAge:15 years old / House/Year: Gryffindor / 5th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: Student / Possibly: Giving Guidance About Tulojow: I'm a COMC student .About You: Another I've seen in the previous COMC's class. I'll be inheriting him with the class as well. He's the son of one of my associates with the ministry which makes me more prone to keeping an eye out for him. What can I say; solidarity. Keegan KearneyAge: 11 years old / House/Year: Gryffindor / 1st Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: student, being mentored / Possibly: honorary son, family in spirit About Tulojow: Keegan is her "ward" issued by the school since he is a muggleborn unable to afford living in Hogsmeade during the summer. Their initial meeting wasn't the best, and he has probably been a lot of trouble since, but I think there will be something to break that will encourage him to trust her..About You: Mr. Keegan stayed with me over the summer, learning to adjust to the magical world before starting school. He can be a handful, but he's a great young man. He's always welcome to come visit or stay anytime he wishes. CallumKnightAge: 16 years old / House/Year: Slytherin / 5th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: student About Tulojow: I've been to the Hospital Wing a few times, and I'm sure I've kept her in business.About You: Ahh, young Mr. Knight. He has come by the hospital on several occasions. I, admit, I wish he'd come to realize the folly in his ways - over my 45 years as an auror, I've arrested many young men similar to him.Devlin MatthewsAge: 17 years old / House/Year: Ravenclaw / 7th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: dislike About Tulojow: eventually.About You: Mr. Devlin seems to think I wouldn't like him but I'd be a hypocrite to criticize a resident troublemaker. I keep my distance, since I don't think my intervention would be too welcome, but since Knox confided in me about him, I've been keeping an eye on himSaffron PadmoreAge:15 years old / House/Year: Ravenclaw / 5th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: student / Possibly: being mentored, giving guidance About Tulojow: Not yet. Saffron would likely idolize Tulojow if she somehow got a hold of the woman's history. The reaching out to other cultures bit is something that's been heavy on Saffron's mind for quite some time.About You: I haven't met the young woman yet, but I look forward to doing so. She's welcome to come by for some tea or cocoa anytime for advice or help with studies. Or if she wants to hear about my historyMadelinePrattAge: 15 years old / House/Year: Hufflepuff / 5th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: student, being mentored About Tulojow: Yes, Maddie would have dragged Mister Quinn-Nightwing to your infirmary several times. She shares similar views, I think, with Ms Nagde.About You: This young woman has helped escort another student to the hospital facilities several times. She's a nice young woman and I'd like to get to know her better. Jasper QuinnAge:16 years old / House/Year: Slytherin / 7th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: Student / Possibly: Respect, Dislike About Tulojow: They haven't actually come across each other yet, but likely it won't be long before they actually meet. Jasper has been taking COMC since he was just a third year. Jasper is the kind of student that tries to do better than everyone else in the class and will accept nothing less than an 'O'. But he's not completely obsessed with her approval, either. Likely as not, at least in the beginning of the year, Jasper will certainly be critiquing her teaching ability and perhaps not so subtly.About You: Either we'll get along or we won't. Time will tell. I won't hold it against him if he decides my teaching isn't up to snuff Ferris Quinn NightwingAge: 15 years old / House/Year: Hufflepuff / 5th Year / Occupation: Student; PrefectRelationship: student / Possibly: menteeAbout Tulojow: Probably I am constantly getting hurt in one way or another. Since I am what one might call hyperactive and generally getting into scrapes I could very well have a bed set up there for me.About You: Ferris reminds me a lot of my kid brother in many ways and he seems to get himself injured with alarming regularity. Neely WoolfolkAge:15 years old / House/Year: Slytherin / 5th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: student; brown noserAbout Tulojow: Neely has taken Care of Magical Creatures since her third year. It is definitely not her best subject, so she tries to make up for this by flattering the professor where possible. Neely's ambition is most apparent outside of the classroom, but she has a 'reputation' to keep, and hates not being as naturally gifted and academic as her friends. I'm sure Neely's struggle with the subject has not gone unnoticed by Professor Nagde..About You: Some students take readily to my class, some I wonder what they are dong there - it is an elective, after all. Most fall somewhere in the middle - Neely is amongst them. She could use some help and I do hope she allows me to offer it to her. Enemies AnalizaSnarkAge: 35 years old / House/Year: Slytherin Alumni / Occupation: Hogwarts HeadmistressRelationship: colleagues, dislike, rivals / Possibly: mutual more profound dislike/hate About Tulojow: I would assume so, Ana works at the ministry but would not have been that social with the aurors. Tulo MIGHT know Ana's father if she was an Auror back before the battle of Hogwarts. something from there.About You: Ahh, I have to admit, it isn't frequent I claim to have an enemy. But, Snark and I are edging towards that eventuality. I don't trust her - I can't say exactly why, yet, but I don't.

Neely WoolfolkWhat Do You Look Like? 1 or 2What's Your Lease on Life: Slytherin 4th YearHave we Met? Neely has taken Care of Magical Creatures since her third year. It is definitely not her best subject, so she tries to make up for this by flattering the professor where possible. Neely's ambition is most apparent outside of the classroom, but she has a 'reputation' to keep, and hates not being as naturally gifted and academic as her friends. I'm sure Neely's struggle with the subject has not gone unnoticed by Professor Nagde.How well do we know each other? Student, Kiss-up/Brown-noser, Respect(?)Do you aspire to more? Neely usually gets by with a lot of help from older students. I could see her trying to convince the professor to let her have another chance 'on the down low' after she does less-than-stellar on a test (or for the semester). Maybe she'll end up putting in more personal effort than she normally might. I think Tulojow's entire persona might baffle and intimidate the girl slightly, thus Neely would be more inclined to keep her mouth shut in this particular class. However, I'm sure there are still occasions when she makes it known that having to groom dirty, undomesticated animals is gross.Let's Be Off! A private remedial session with a good moral lesson attached might be humorous. Or... maybe the professor can introduce Neely to an animal to which she actually takes a strong liking. Skip to next post Re: Building Bridges -- Tulojow Nagde Reply #3 on June 01, 2009, 07:56:03 PM There's no doubt Tulojow would have noticed and she'd have, indeed, expressed an interest in helping. She would have certainly arranged for one on one study sessions and I'm sure she could toss in some interesting creature to try and heighten Neely's passion in the subject.

I doubt he would have been one of the ones who were not sorry to see her retire ( he's not universally popular himself)How well do we know each other? Friend, Former Co-Worker.Do you aspire to more? well, confidante would be good, but otherwise probably not.Let's Be Off! maybe they meet somewhere to catch up? Skip to next post Re: Building Bridges -- Tulojow Nagde Reply #6 on June 04, 2009, 09:47:37 PM Sounds like a plan! Tulojow would, definitely, take an interest in Joshua if she's familiar with his father. She's not the COMC professor yet, but she's been there as gamekeeper and would have crossed paths. It'd be quite easy to get them to cross paths. If Samuel didn't buy into the Ministry rumors, Tulojow would, probably have made it a point to catch up when in the UK. She, probably, would have been overseas enough that actually serving as an official mentor would have been less likely. But, she could have done so unofficially when there. There's some good potential there. Skip to next post Re: Building Bridges -- Tulojow Nagde Reply #7 on June 05, 2009, 04:00:10 AM I imagine that his father would have been Samuel's official trainer, but yeah, unofficially it works.

What's Your Lease on Life: 16 years, COMC student, 6th year SlytherinHave we Met? They haven't actually come across each other yet, but likely it won't be long before they actually meet. Jasper has been taking COMC since he was just a third year. Jasper is the kind of student that tries to do better than everyone else in the class and will accept nothing less than an 'O'.

Likely as not, at least in the beginning of the year, Jasper will certainly be critiquing her teaching ability and perhaps not so subtly.How well do we know each other? Student, possibly respect (later on)/dislikeDo you aspire to more? It depends on how Jasper ends up viewing Tulojow, likely based on her teaching. He would likely be civil towards her in class no matter what, but if he dislikes her, then badmouthing behind her back. If he does like her, then just a casual respect.Let's Be Off! No idea. Perhaps they might run into each other some time? Jasper does his studying in three main places; his common room, the library, and the grounds so...What's Your Name? Saffron PadmoreWhat Do You Look Like? What's Your Lease on Life: Fifteen, 4th year Ravenclaw, COMC StudentHave we Met? Not yet. Saffron would likely idolize Tulojow if she somehow got a hold of the woman's history. The reaching out to other cultures bit is something that's been heavy on Saffron's mind for quite some time. How well do we know each other? StudentDo you aspire to more? Being mentored/giving guidanceLet's Be Off! Anything, really. Saffron would most likely look up to Tulojow. Skip to next post Re: Building Bridges -- Tulojow Nagde Reply #9 on June 09, 2009, 04:26:22 PM What's Your Name? Dreogan M. EleorWhat Do You Look Like? I'll add this later.What's Your Lease on Life: Works for MoM directing Dispute Resolutions in the Near and Middle East. Formerly a professor of Muggle-Mage relations in a vocational, magical university in California. Prior to that, ran defense and security of Kibbutz Erez, a top-secret and controversial research socialist community in the Negev Desert, Israel. Dreogan attended Beit Gaddol, the Israeli magical school in the house of Or (Light). Have we Met? Definetly. I'd imagine that Dreogan Z. Eleor (Dree's father) and she were very dear friends, having very progressive views of society, authority, and tolerance. Dreogan, Sr. was a very respected theorist in his field and social critic. I'd imagine they wrote letters to each other at the very least. When Dreogan Jr. began to travel extensively after his father's death and also embrace the hippie lifestye (complete with chacos, birkenstocks, and socialist communal living), I'm sure he and she corresponded, if not even visited each other. At some times, Dreogan felt he had nowhere to go. Perhaps he went to live with her for a couple of months? He probably goes to her for advice from time to time. Dreogan also works for the Ministry but is in a precarious situation at times due to his liberal and often controversial background.How well do we know each other? Honorary son?Do you aspire to more? Dreogan likes their relationship the way it is. Very comfortable but not too close; they can go years without contact and yet when they do get together/talk, it's like they haven't been apart.Let's Be Off! Dreogan's a bit concerned about his mother and her living alone. . . He wants Adon to move from Israel to England to be closer to her and to restore the relationship. Perhaps advice time?

What's Your Lease on Life: 34, Head Auror, Former Ravenclaw, Former Healer (briefly)Have we Met? Tamis has always believed that Nadge was a good Auror, but too much of a loose canon to be reliable. When Raynor became Head of the Auror Office, their methods clashed, causing some friction. Raynor still respects the former comrade but is glad to be rid of her from a professional standpoint. How well do we know each other? Former Coworker , possibly Past Conflict or Ended Badly? Do you aspire to more? I believe we talked a bit about Nadge being a consultant.Let's Be Off! Already discussed. Skip to next post Re: Building Bridges -- Tulojow Nagde Reply #11 on June 11, 2009, 02:22:49 AM Updated! Jasper: Sounds good - What Jasper's criteria are for good teaching will, largely, effect how he looks at her. But, we'll see once classes start. In the meantime, he's always welcome to drop by and visit to size her up when word gets out she'll be teaching.Saffron: Likewise, Tulojow would be happy to mentor Saffron. We can find a time / reason for them to cross paths either during the summer or before the break or the start of the new year.Dreogan: Due to her (what she perceives as) failure in her own personal relationships, Tulojow is quite prone to taking on "honorary children / mentees" It sounds like, very likely, she would have been a sporadic though frequent presence throughout Dree's childhood. He would have been more than welcome to stay with her at any time. Under most circumstances, she would have been in the field somewhere, but would have welcomed him anyway. Which, given the path he's followed, would have helped enhance that. She prefers older cultures where the lines between magic and nonmagic are much more fuzzy than in high magic.

Re: Building Bridges -- Tulojow Nagde Reply #1 on June 01, 2009, 03:46:26 PM Footsteps in the Sand Family John ThunderBorn: 1882 / Died: 1964 / Culture: Full blood Chippewa / Occupation: tribal spiritual leader Relationship: family: grandfatherAbout Him: Tulojow loved and respected her grandfather and, in many ways, he's had a large influence on who she is today. Quiet, confident and very astute, he was always quite aware of what was going on.Emma TanisThunderBorn: 1886 / Died: 1970 / Culture: full blood Chippewa / Occupation: healer Relationship: family: grandmotherAbout Her: Tulojow and her brother were raised, largely, by their grandparents. Tulojow's interest in alternative forms of magic and healing originate in what she observed in her grandmother's work and learned from her.Richard Ciqala NagdeBorn: 1913 / Died: 1944 / Culture: full blood Chippewa / Occupation: airforce pilot Relationship: family: fatherAbout Him: Tulojow respects the memory of her father and still keeps the few letters from him safe. However, due to her age when he left home, there's no real emotional basis to the relationship.AbedabunRavenwing NagdeBorn: 1914 / Died: 1940 / Culture: half Chippewa and Cree / Occupation: housewife Relationship: Family - mother (NPC)About Her:Similar to her father, Tulojow remembers little about her mother. She loves her, as a mother, but knows little of her as a person Albert Twowing NagdeAge:68 year old / Culture: Chippewa / Cree / Occupation: rodeo bull breeder Relationship: Family - Brother, Close Friend (NPC) About Him:After the death of their parents, the bond between the two siblings grew stronger out of necessity. While they were younger, Al always readily tried to fill the role of protective brother, despite being younger. While they still share a close relationship, Al has never understood Tulojow's need to travel and stay away from home. Relationships Patamon BatocheBorn: 1932 / Died: 1986 / Culture: Chippewa - North Dakota / Occupation: store clerk Relationship: Ex-Husband Married: 1957 / Divorced: 1959 Son's NameAkando / / Born: 1958 / Died: 1958 About Him: When she first returned to the reservation after graduation, her brother introduced her to a friend. They married and he joined her on early travels. He left, returning to the reservation after the death of their son.Dakarai Harare Born: 1936 / Died: 1982 / Culture: Zimbabwean Relationship: Ex-HusbandMarried: 1966 / Divorced: 1969 Son's Name Kato / Born: 1968 / Died: 1969 Daughter's Name Nia / Born: 1968 / Died: 1969 About Him: During an extended stay on assignment in South Africa, Tulojow met and fell in love with Dakara during one of her many unofficial excursions into Zimbabawe. They were together for 3 years, though after the death of the twins, the marriage failed quickly.Calum TrenorBorn: 1932 / Culture:Australian / Occupation: Rancher in SW Australia Relationship: Ex-Husband Married: 1976 / Divorced: 1979About Him: Again, love struck during an assignment. They were married for three years before Calum left for a younger woman.NOTE: Tulojow is quite private about the details of past personal relationships. It's unlikely anyone but a best friend would know much about her history. Friends KabirAhmedAge: 40 years old / House/Year: Calachakra Temple School Alumni / Occupation: Colonel, Indian Border Security Force; AurorRelationship: family - by spirit; honorary son About Tulojow: I have gone running to Hogwarts because I need a friend. I have friends, of course, but…the mother who brought me into the world didn’t want me, and the one who raised me is gone. One is never too old to need a motherAbout You: I've known Kabir for many years, now. I don't remember what year it was, but during one of my trips into India, he was assigned to me by the local authorities. We all know how well I work with local authorities. Fortunately, Kabir was able to not take my deviance too much to heart. And, I owe him my freedom on many occasions and my life on a few of them. Since my trips to India have become more limited these days, I'm glad to see he's come west. AdonEleorAge: 28 years old / House/Year: Beit Gaddol, Gibbor / Occupation: AurorRelationship: family friend, honorary son About Tulojow: Family friends, so I should hope so. We visited back-and-forth a few times. You might not recognise me anymore, though. Hear a bit about you from Dree. I really respect you because, that I know, you're about the only person he can be pleasant around without the influence of sedatives. You have my respect. Then again, he used to come back from your place smelling peculiar, so perhaps it wasn't without . . . alternative influences. And for that, you have even more of my respect.About You: All of my old colleague's family are, honorarily, my family. Life's path has left me closer with Dree but I still feel protective of Adon.DreoganEleorAge: 31 years old / House/Year: Beit Gaddol, Or Alumni / Occupation: DoIM: Head of the Office of Near East RelationsRelationship: honorary son, family - by spirit About Tulojow: I'd imagine that Dreogan Z. Eleor (Dree's father) and she were very dear friends, having very progressive views of society, authority, and tolerance. Dreogan, Sr. was a very respected theorist in his field and social critic. I'd imagine they wrote letters to each other at the very least. When Dreogan Jr. began to travel extensively after his father's death and also embrace the hippie lifestye (complete with chacos, birkenstocks, and socialist communal living), I'm sure he and she corresponded, if not even visited each other. At some times, Dreogan felt he had nowhere to go. Perhaps he went to live with her for a couple of months? He probably goes to her for advice from time to time. Dreogan also works for the Ministry but is in a precarious situation at times due to his liberal and often controversial background.About You: I've been friends with his father for years and, though I drifted in and out, according to where my assignments took me, I've watched Dree grow up. My home and time are always open to him and I am pleased to see what a fine young man he's grown into. His father would be proud Akiva KatzAge: 28 years old / House/Year: Ravenclaw Alumni / Occupation: Ministry LibrarianRelationship: friends / Possibly: family - by spirit About Tulojow: Akiva stayed at Tulojow's for almost a month after she was discovered. Tulo took care of her and Akiva was happy to have the company while making her recovery. Many times, Akiva would show her thanks by taking advantage of Tulo's kitchen and baking something up and tried to be as sociable and easy to take care of as possible. She really likes Tulo and wants her to be impressed; and, of course, she is dating Dreogan, who knows Tulo very well.About You: It was a privilege to have this young woman stay with me during her recovery. She's a remarkable young woman and I hope she recovers fully. As a part of Dree's family, she's also a part of my family as well. A.A.ShepherdAge: 69 years old / House/Year: Red Rocks Alumni / Occupation: GamekeeperRelationship: acquaintances / Possibly: friendship, camaraderie, possible future romance About Tulojow: I've only just arrived at Hogwarts and though I am satisfied to be a Hermit, I like people and enjoy their company. Meeting folks and maybe impacting their lives is a must for Shepherd men.About You: Big, husky and sweet as anything. I've only just met the newest Hogwarts Gamekeeper but he's a great edition to the staff.CandiceStevensonAge: 26 years old / House/Year: Hufflepuff Alumni / Occupation: Ministry PsychiatristRelationship: being mentored / Possibly: close friends About Tulojow: Tulojow is very dear to me. She's a sweet, supportive lady. It's wonderful to know she supports my efforts, when it seems so many others only laugh at what I'm trying to accomplish.About You: Candice is a lovely, charming young woman and (though they may not recognize it) the Ministry is lucky to have her. I've been campaigning at the Ministry for years for a resident psychiatrist. Whether that had any influence on the decision to hire Candice, I can't say - but I'd be proud if it was. She's bright, intelligent and manages to keep a positive attitude despite the stress of the Minsitry. I'm honored to be considered her friend Colleagues GrahamBombayAge: 31 years old / House/Year: Ravenclaw Alumni / Occupation: Herbology Professor; Head of Ravenclaw HouseRelationship: colleagues / Possibly: begrudging respect About Tulojow: ...About You: Graham is a curious young man. He's a bit course but easy enough to get along with. 'Course, I have rather thick skin so that might help.Ophelia GrimlishAge: 30 years old / House/Year: Ravenclaw Alumni / Occupation: Divination ProfessorRelationship: coworkers / Possibly: friends About Tulojow: We've met, I am sure at staff orientation.About You: A charming woman. We get along rather well but she's up in her tower and I'm out in my cabin. We don't cross paths too often. Samuel HarcroftAge:58 years old / House/Year: Gryffindor Alumni / Occupation: Senior AurorRelationship: Friend, Former Coworker / Possibly: Future Confidante About Tulojow: They would have been Aurors at the same time, she would ahve been an Auror for 14 years when he joined, maybe she helped train him? I doubt he would have been one of the ones who were not sorry to see her retire ( he's not universally popular himself).About You: I vaguely remember when Sam started with the Ministry. He, I'm sure, heard the spattering of rumors about me but seemed to not take them too much to heart. I made it a point to catch up with him when I was back in the UK between assignments but I hope to get to know him better now that I'm here for good Archer RadleyAge: 37 years old / House/Year: Hufflepuff Alumni / Occupation: AurorRelationship: former coworker, friendly rivalry About Tulojow: They worked together for the later part of Tulojow's Auror career. She must have had to deal with him when he was new, and then as they got older, their styles don't exactly line up - but no one could argue with results. Their relationship isn't going to be winning any awards, but it isn't going to tear down any houses either, if that makes sense.About You: Another promising young auror. Being a bit on the clean cut and rule-abiding side, our methods never quite agreed but we are all aurors in the end.Tamis RaynorAge: 34 years old / House/Year: Ravenclaw Alumni / Occupation: Head of the Auror OfficeRelationship: former coworker, professional relationship ended badlyAbout Tulojow: Tamis has always believed that Nadge was a good Auror, but too much of a loose canon to be reliable. When Raynor became Head of the Auror Office, their methods clashed, causing some friction. Raynor still respects the former comrade but is glad to be rid of her from a professional standpoint.About You: Really, on some level, I pity anyone that finds themselves in the position of having to be my "boss." And, in my forty years in the ministry, I have had a few of them. I don't dislike or disrespect her - in fact, she seems a very promising young auror. Unfortunately, I neither respect her more or less than anyone else I encounter. I believe in true equality and, on the downside of it, I'm afraid I don't give extra credit to those who have "authority." Directives are usually taken as suggestions. But, I do regret having to retire and, at times, miss being out in the field. I look forward to whatever opportunities might come out of the DoMLE. Aileen ReidAge: 33 years old / House/Year: slytherin alumni / Occupation: Ancient Runes ProfessorRelationship: acquaintance / Possibly: friends, rivals? About Tulojow: They have little in common, but I’m sure they met at the Welcoming Feast or something similar.About You: I haven't had that many interactions with the Ancient Runes professor - she's welcome to stop by for tea, though.AberdeenSpencerAge: 29 years old / House/Year: Gryffindor Alumni / Occupation: AurorRelationship: former coworker, acquaintance / Possibly: friends About Tulojow: Aberdeen was acquainted with Nagde when she joined the DoMLE, but knew her more by her reputation than by interacting with her. She didn't know what to make of her in her training years, but over time she came to admire veteran Auror's moral code and how she implemented it.About You: A new edition to the Auror office, I must say Deen shows quite a bit of potential. I'd be more than happy to get to know her better. Students Eirene AntonopoulosAge: 11 years old / House/Year: Ravenclaw / 1st / Occupation: StudentRelationship: student / Possibly: being mentored About Tulojow: They haven’t met, but Eirene seeks a lot of attention, especially from adults. Eirene might hear of Tulojow being eccentric, but kind towards students, so she’ll keep her in mind as an adult to seek out.About You: This charming young woman seems to be on the receiving end of a fair bit of bullying. She's always welcome for some cocoa. FaunaBlakeAge: 17 years old / House/Year: Hufflepuff / 7th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: student / Possibly: being mentored About Tulojow: Fauna has gotten to know Tulo better through her discovery of Akiva Katz during the festival, and a recent visit to her hut. She respects and likes Tulojow and views her as someone she can come to with problems. Fauna struggles with confidence much of the time but Tulo has a way of making her feel better.About You: She lacks a little in confidence but Fauna is a bright, promising young woman. She's been the unfortunate witness to some recent crimes but she can rest assured, while at school, she's quite safe.KiaFerrisAge: 22 years old / House/Year: Slytherin Alumni / Occupation: MagizoologistRelationship: unknown About Tulojow: Kia works at the ministry and I am SURE that Tulo and Kia's father Sean have met... especially since Sean is pretty well known in his feild and might even come and give lectures in COMC.About You: I've crossed paths with Kia several times during my year as gamekeeper but I, admit, I haven't had the privilege of getting to know her well.Joshua HarcroftAge:15 years old / House/Year: Gryffindor / 5th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: Student / Possibly: Giving Guidance About Tulojow: I'm a COMC student .About You: Another I've seen in the previous COMC's class. I'll be inheriting him with the class as well. He's the son of one of my associates with the ministry which makes me more prone to keeping an eye out for him. What can I say; solidarity. Keegan KearneyAge: 11 years old / House/Year: Gryffindor / 1st Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: student, being mentored / Possibly: honorary son, family in spirit About Tulojow: Keegan is her "ward" issued by the school since he is a muggleborn unable to afford living in Hogsmeade during the summer. Their initial meeting wasn't the best, and he has probably been a lot of trouble since, but I think there will be something to break that will encourage him to trust her..About You: Mr. Keegan stayed with me over the summer, learning to adjust to the magical world before starting school. He can be a handful, but he's a great young man. He's always welcome to come visit or stay anytime he wishes. CallumKnightAge: 16 years old / House/Year: Slytherin / 5th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: student About Tulojow: I've been to the Hospital Wing a few times, and I'm sure I've kept her in business.About You: Ahh, young Mr. Knight. He has come by the hospital on several occasions. I, admit, I wish he'd come to realize the folly in his ways - over my 45 years as an auror, I've arrested many young men similar to him.Devlin MatthewsAge: 17 years old / House/Year: Ravenclaw / 7th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: dislike About Tulojow: eventually.About You: Mr. Devlin seems to think I wouldn't like him but I'd be a hypocrite to criticize a resident troublemaker. I keep my distance, since I don't think my intervention would be too welcome, but since Knox confided in me about him, I've been keeping an eye on himSaffron PadmoreAge:15 years old / House/Year: Ravenclaw / 5th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: student / Possibly: being mentored, giving guidance About Tulojow: Not yet. Saffron would likely idolize Tulojow if she somehow got a hold of the woman's history. The reaching out to other cultures bit is something that's been heavy on Saffron's mind for quite some time.About You: I haven't met the young woman yet, but I look forward to doing so. She's welcome to come by for some tea or cocoa anytime for advice or help with studies. Or if she wants to hear about my historyMadelinePrattAge: 15 years old / House/Year: Hufflepuff / 5th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: student, being mentored About Tulojow: Yes, Maddie would have dragged Mister Quinn-Nightwing to your infirmary several times. She shares similar views, I think, with Ms Nagde.About You: This young woman has helped escort another student to the hospital facilities several times. She's a nice young woman and I'd like to get to know her better. Jasper QuinnAge:16 years old / House/Year: Slytherin / 7th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: Student / Possibly: Respect, Dislike About Tulojow: They haven't actually come across each other yet, but likely it won't be long before they actually meet. Jasper has been taking COMC since he was just a third year. Jasper is the kind of student that tries to do better than everyone else in the class and will accept nothing less than an 'O'. But he's not completely obsessed with her approval, either. Likely as not, at least in the beginning of the year, Jasper will certainly be critiquing her teaching ability and perhaps not so subtly.About You: Either we'll get along or we won't. Time will tell. I won't hold it against him if he decides my teaching isn't up to snuff Ferris Quinn NightwingAge: 15 years old / House/Year: Hufflepuff / 5th Year / Occupation: Student; PrefectRelationship: student / Possibly: menteeAbout Tulojow: Probably I am constantly getting hurt in one way or another. Since I am what one might call hyperactive and generally getting into scrapes I could very well have a bed set up there for me.About You: Ferris reminds me a lot of my kid brother in many ways and he seems to get himself injured with alarming regularity. Neely WoolfolkAge:15 years old / House/Year: Slytherin / 5th Year / Occupation: StudentRelationship: student; brown noserAbout Tulojow: Neely has taken Care of Magical Creatures since her third year. It is definitely not her best subject, so she tries to make up for this by flattering the professor where possible. Neely's ambition is most apparent outside of the classroom, but she has a 'reputation' to keep, and hates not being as naturally gifted and academic as her friends. I'm sure Neely's struggle with the subject has not gone unnoticed by Professor Nagde..About You: Some students take readily to my class, some I wonder what they are dong there - it is an elective, after all. Most fall somewhere in the middle - Neely is amongst them. She could use some help and I do hope she allows me to offer it to her. Enemies AnalizaSnarkAge: 35 years old / House/Year: Slytherin Alumni / Occupation: Hogwarts HeadmistressRelationship: colleagues, dislike, rivals / Possibly: mutual more profound dislike/hate About Tulojow: I would assume so, Ana works at the ministry but would not have been that social with the aurors. Tulo MIGHT know Ana's father if she was an Auror back before the battle of Hogwarts. something from there.About You: Ahh, I have to admit, it isn't frequent I claim to have an enemy. But, Snark and I are edging towards that eventuality. I don't trust her - I can't say exactly why, yet, but I don't. Skip to next post

Neely has taken Care of Magical Creatures since her third year. It is definitely not her best subject, so she tries to make up for this by flattering the professor where possible. Neely's ambition is most apparent outside of the classroom, but she has a 'reputation' to keep, and hates not being as naturally gifted and academic as her friends. I'm sure Neely's struggle with the subject has not gone unnoticed by Professor Nagde.How well do we know each other? Student, Kiss-up/Brown-noser, Respect(?)Do you aspire to more? Neely usually gets by with a lot of help from older students. I could see her trying to convince the professor to let her have another chance 'on the down low' after she does less-than-stellar on a test (or for the semester). Maybe she'll end up putting in more personal effort than she normally might. I think Tulojow's entire persona might baffle and intimidate the girl slightly, thus Neely would be more inclined to keep her mouth shut in this particular class. However, I'm sure there are still occasions when she makes it known that having to groom dirty, undomesticated animals is gross.Let's Be Off! A private remedial session with a good moral lesson attached might be humorous. Or... maybe the professor can introduce Neely to an animal to which she actually takes a strong liking.

Re: Building Bridges -- Tulojow Nagde Reply #3 on June 01, 2009, 07:56:03 PM There's no doubt Tulojow would have noticed and she'd have, indeed, expressed an interest in helping. She would have certainly arranged for one on one study sessions and I'm sure she could toss in some interesting creature to try and heighten Neely's passion in the subject. Skip to next post

Re: Building Bridges -- Tulojow Nagde Reply #6 on June 04, 2009, 09:47:37 PM Sounds like a plan! Tulojow would, definitely, take an interest in Joshua if she's familiar with his father. She's not the COMC professor yet, but she's been there as gamekeeper and would have crossed paths. It'd be quite easy to get them to cross paths. If Samuel didn't buy into the Ministry rumors, Tulojow would, probably have made it a point to catch up when in the UK. She, probably, would have been overseas enough that actually serving as an official mentor would have been less likely. But, she could have done so unofficially when there. There's some good potential there. Skip to next post

He would likely be civil towards her in class no matter what, but if he dislikes her, then badmouthing behind her back. If he does like her, then just a casual respect.Let's Be Off! No idea. Perhaps they might run into each other some time? Jasper does his studying in three main places; his common room, the library, and the grounds so...What's Your Name? Saffron PadmoreWhat Do You Look Like? What's Your Lease on Life: Fifteen, 4th year Ravenclaw, COMC StudentHave we Met? Not yet. Saffron would likely idolize Tulojow if she somehow got a hold of the woman's history. The reaching out to other cultures bit is something that's been heavy on Saffron's mind for quite some time. How well do we know each other? StudentDo you aspire to more? Being mentored/giving guidanceLet's Be Off! Anything, really. Saffron would most likely look up to Tulojow. Skip to next post
Re: Building Bridges -- Tulojow Nagde Reply #9 on June 09, 2009, 04:26:22 PM What's Your Name? Dreogan M. EleorWhat Do You Look Like? I'll add this later.What's Your Lease on Life: Works for MoM directing Dispute Resolutions in the Near and Middle East. Formerly a professor of Muggle-Mage relations in a vocational, magical university in California. Prior to that, ran defense and security of Kibbutz Erez, a top-secret and controversial research socialist community in the Negev Desert, Israel. Dreogan attended Beit Gaddol, the Israeli magical school in the house of Or (Light). Have we Met? Definetly. I'd imagine that Dreogan Z. Eleor (Dree's father) and she were very dear friends, having very progressive views of society, authority, and tolerance. Dreogan, Sr. was a very respected theorist in his field and social critic. I'd imagine they wrote letters to each other at the very least. When Dreogan Jr. began to travel extensively after his father's death and also embrace the hippie lifestye (complete with chacos, birkenstocks, and socialist communal living), I'm sure he and she corresponded, if not even visited each other. At some times, Dreogan felt he had nowhere to go. Perhaps he went to live with her for a couple of months? He probably goes to her for advice from time to time. Dreogan also works for the Ministry but is in a precarious situation at times due to his liberal and often controversial background.How well do we know each other? Honorary son?Do you aspire to more? Dreogan likes their relationship the way it is. Very comfortable but not too close; they can go years without contact and yet when they do get together/talk, it's like they haven't been apart.Let's Be Off! Dreogan's a bit concerned about his mother and her living alone. . . He wants Adon to move from Israel to England to be closer to her and to restore the relationship. Perhaps advice time?

Re: Building Bridges -- Tulojow Nagde Reply #10 on June 09, 2009, 04:57:48 PM What's Your Name? Tamis RaynorWhat Do You Look Like? What's Your Lease on Life: 34, Head Auror, Former Ravenclaw, Former Healer (briefly)Have we Met? Tamis has always believed that Nadge was a good Auror, but too much of a loose canon to be reliable. When Raynor became Head of the Auror Office, their methods clashed, causing some friction. Raynor still respects the former comrade but is glad to be rid of her from a professional standpoint. How well do we know each other? Former Coworker , possibly Past Conflict or Ended Badly? Do you aspire to more? I believe we talked a bit about Nadge being a consultant.Let's Be Off!

Re: Building Bridges -- Tulojow Nagde Reply #11 on June 11, 2009, 02:22:49 AM Updated! Jasper: Sounds good - What Jasper's criteria are for good teaching will, largely, effect how he looks at her. But, we'll see once classes start. In the meantime, he's always welcome to drop by and visit to size her up when word gets out she'll be teaching.Saffron: Likewise, Tulojow would be happy to mentor Saffron. We can find a time / reason for them to cross paths either during the summer or before the break or the start of the new year.Dreogan: Due to her (what she perceives as) failure in her own personal relationships, Tulojow is quite prone to taking on "honorary children / mentees" It sounds like, very likely, she would have been a sporadic though frequent presence throughout Dree's childhood. He would have been more than welcome to stay with her at any time. Under most circumstances, she would have been in the field somewhere, but would have welcomed him anyway. Which, given the path he's followed, would have helped enhance that. She prefers older cultures where the lines between magic and nonmagic are much more fuzzy than in high magic. He would have been welcome to tag along at any time. And, he's welcome to stop by any time for advice or to talk about whatever.Tamis: Haha poor Tamis. But, Tulojow does miss being an Auror if that is any consolation Skip to next post

Keegan KearneyWhat Do You Look Like? http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee223/AnalizaSnark/Keegan/1.jpgWhat's Your Lease on Life: 11 year old muggleborn irish lad destined for Gryffindor and probably jail if he doesn't get his nose clean.Have we Met? Yes, Keegan is her "ward" issued by the school since he is a muggleborn unable to afford living in Hogsmeade during the summer. Their initial meeting wasn't the best, and he has probably been a lot of trouble since, but I think there will be something to break that will encourage him to trust her.How well do we know each other? Currently he can be listed under student and Being Mentored.Do you aspire to more? Eventually Honorary Son and Family in SpiritLet's Be Off! We will discuss heheWhat's Your Name?

Former Slytherin, but only in name.Have we Met? I would imagine so, Kia works at the ministry and I am SURE that Tulo and Kia's father Sean have met... especially since Sean is pretty well known in his feild and might even come and give lectures in COMC How well do we know each other? acquaintance at leastDo you aspire to more? --Let's Be Off!

Former Slytherin, in every way.Have we Met? I would assume so, Ana works at the ministry but would not have been that social with the aurors. Tulo MIGHT know Ana's father if she was an Auror back before the battle of Hogwarts. something from there.How well do we know each other? well I would imagine they know of each other and I dunno if either would like each other much hahaDo you aspire to more? --Let's Be Off! --What's Your Name?

Re: Building Bridges -- Tulojow Nagde Reply #13 on August 01, 2009, 12:06:23 PM What's Your Name? Aberdeen SpencerWhat Do You Look Like? What's Your Lease on Life: 29, AurorHave we Met? Aberdeen was acquainted with Nagde when she joined the DoMLE, but knew her more by her reputation than by interacting with her. She didn't know what to make of her in her training years, but over time she came to admire veteran Auror's moral code and how she implemented it.How well do we know each other? Former Coworker/AcquaintanceDo you aspire to more? I think their personalities are compatible enough that they might have the potential to move up to Friends, but mostly just depends on interaction.Let's Be Off! I guess see if they bump into each other again! Maybe one of these days Aberdeen will come to ask Tulo's advice. Skip to next post

It's possible, but I think they might disagree from time to time. I don't think they are each other's favorites, but have a begrudging respect for one another? Perhaps? Let's see how it goes.
