Biography on March 20, 2017, 01:31:22 AM Approved! ~NFull Character Name | Elizabeth Alexandra Stokes NobleBirthday & Age | February 2nd, 2000 & 11 years oldCity & Country of Birth | Danehill, Parish Wealden, East SussexBlood Status | HalfbloodWand | N/APhysical DescriptionElizabeth is a slight young girl, at 4'8" (144 cm) and 81 lbs (37 kg). She has a full face, ears slightly overlarge for her head, wide, thin lips, a button nose, very thick eyebrows, and brown doe eyes. She retains some of her baby fat, not nearly 'slender' yet, and—yet to have achieved puberty—bears no outward evidence of her gender aside from shoulder-length blonde hair.Elizabeth wears the cutesy, brightly-colored clothes one might expect of a child, with no keen eye for fashion as of yet. Polos, tee shirts, jumpers, jeans, slacks and sneakers are the norm.She has a somewhat "refined" southern accent, not quite posh as it were, but perfectly Hollywood British, tiny and high-pitched.Personality DescriptionThanks to her mother, she is kind and nurturing; thanks to her father, she is calm and logical. Though her education is limited, she has proven to be a model student at Windlesham, the private muggle school that her parents have sent her to since she was five. She has not once found herself in administrative trouble; has achieved exemplary grades, year after year; and regularly wields what limited authority students of her age are granted with both grace and confidence.Elizabeth does not possess a legion of pals, but what friends she makes she keeps—and is fiercely loyal to. Though polite and well-mannered, she hovers somewhere between outgoing and shy, and has yet to master the art of charm. It is noteworthy, also, that Elizabeth is very rigid when it comes to the matter of honor. She is nearly incapable of properly lying (not since a phase between seven and eight) and would never act outside of the strictly established moral compass that her mother and father instilled in her.She is not prone to flights of fancy, impulsive behavior, or emotional outbursts. She is, in fact, a very emotionally mature little girl—as much as an eleven year old can be. She is rather precocious in the arenas of reasoning, work ethic, and responsibility—often earning the praise of her elders.It is unlikely that Elizabeth would get along with her particularly mischievous contemporaries, who might view her as far too uptight and strict. Rulebreakers and ne'er-do-wells aren't tolerated by Mother Elizabeth, who does her best to set troublemakers straight.Elizabeth is, like many children of her age who have never experienced strife, disadvantage, or true fear, both naive and innocent. She has an optimistic view of the world at large and the people that inhabit it, and has difficulty comprehending the malicious intentions of others.HistoryElizabeth's parents were rather well-off:Her mother, Catherine, a witch, was the daughter of halfblood mages, Roger and Agatha Stokes, who were a business owner and clerical employee at the Ministry of Magic, respectively. She was herself the deputy head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation.Her father, Graham, a muggle, was the son of a very successful solicitor with his own private practice and a teaching doctor at the University of Oxford. Following in his father's footsteps, Graham became an accomplished litigator in his own right and, following Graham, Sr.'s, demise, assumed control of his practice.Worthy of note, too, was Mr. Noble's obscure, but recognized, royal heritage—which bequeathed to him a modest sum of money and a family estate on the outskirts of Danehill, East Sussex, upon the demise of his parents in his early thirties.Thus, despite Mrs. Stokes' ovular complications, the well-to-do couple was quite capable of conceiving Elizabeth through in vitro fertilization, and she was born in the maternity ward of a hospital in Crawley in the year 2000.Mrs. Stokes—who had retained her maiden name following marriage, out of a sense of pride for her magical heritage and a streak of feminism common among the witches in the Stokes family—insisted that she be named Alexandra Stokes, after her late aunt, an accomplished auror who had perished at the Battle of Hogwarts. Mr. Noble, on the other hand—out of reverence for his flimsy claim to royalty, and perhaps a general desire to stonewall Mrs. Stokes—insisted that she be named Elizabeth Noble, after his late great grandmother, an employee of the British Broadcasting Corporation and a most venerable figure in the man's life.Meeting one another halfway, the couple settled on Elizabeth Alexandra Stokes Noble—and, thus, their newborn daughter was named.During the first two years of Elizabeth's life, her parents were almost entirely absent: a legal professional and business owner and a rather important member of the Ministry of Magic, her father and mother were rarely capable of reconciling their careers with the care of their daughter. They opted instead to employ a capable young au pair—the daughter of close family friends in Digne-les-Bains, France—named Emeline Marchand, with whom Elizabeth was immediately taken.The night of Elizabeth's second birthday, however—an event for which neither was present—Mr. Noble and Mrs. Stokes agreed that their daughter deserved a more constant parental presence in the household. Mrs. Stokes resigned her post, sacrificing her career to become a homemaker, while Mr. Noble relinquished his firsthand legal work to focus instead on operating his late father's business—ensuring that he made it home for dinner on time every weeknight, and was able to schedule his weekends free.Mr. Noble and Mrs. Stokes decided not to end Mlle. Marchand's employment, feeling that her presence might bolster Elizabeth's cultural exposure and give her a leg up in her education—and they were not wrong. Emeline's perpetual place in the Stokes Noble household ensured that Elizabeth would grow up to be bilingual, speaking very good conversational French.The summers of Elizabeth's childhood were often spent at her maternal grandparents' home in the North Downs countryside in Surrey. Though Roger and Agatha Stokes were retired mages, they each possessed one muggle parent, and regularly took Elizabeth into London to mingle with non-magical people and take in the sights: the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's, the West End, and even Buckingham Palace.Roger and Agatha also taught Elizabeth about the wizarding world: about the idea of magic, about magical sports, about various famous and infamous witches and wizards and the important historical events surrounding them—and, of course, about Hogwarts.They informed her that when she was born, a solitary quill in a solitary room at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had set itself to the task of impressing her name upon the pages of a very stubborn book—and that one day, should she express any inkling of magical power, that it would scrawl her name across the unyielding parchment, and she would be invited to enroll in Hogwarts the summer following her eleventh birthday.At five years old, Mr. Noble and Mrs. Stokes enrolled Elizabeth in Windlesham School in Brighton. Inspired by her very hard working parents, Elizabeth outperformed throughout her tenure at Windlesham—particularly in French, numeracy, and philosophy. She received regular praise from her teachers, tutors, and governors and governesses, and would, in later years, become an active member of both the ballet and swim clubs.Elizabeth's magical potential was first recognized at the age of six, when she became separated from her teacher during an outdoors PE lesson and managed to wander straight into oncoming traffic. Quite apart from dying horribly, Elizabeth shrieked, screwed up her eyes, and managed to turn herself totally incorporeal, screaming motorists breezing straight through her. In response to this public spectacle, the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes dispatched an entire squad of Obliviators to Windlesham and Brighton at large.Mr. Noble and Mrs. Stokes were over the moon that Elizabeth had used proper magic—and, of course, that she was not utterly dead. Elizabeth, however, was particularly soothed by the thought that her name was now scrawled across a section of parchment in a lonely book in an obscure room at Hogwarts.Roger and Agatha were, of course, ecstatic—both that Elizabeth was a witch and had not perished—and, as a treat, bought her a quality learner's broomstick, much to the consternation of Mr. Noble and Mrs. Stokes. Parental misgivings aside, Elizabeth's summers were now partly occupied by flying lessons supervised by her very watchful grandparents.Very little worth discussing occurred in Elizabeth's life between the ages of seven and eleven. She would, of course, unintentionally work magic another time or two, but fortunately would not require the assistance of Obliviators after the fact.Having received her invitation to Hogwarts, Elizabeth now eagerly awaits September 1st.Describe your job duties and how you go about them: N/AElaborate on your expertise in your field: N/AWriting Sample: N/ASummary Elizabeth Stokes Noble is a halfblood witch-to-be from a sleepy town in East Sussex. She is mature for her age, precocious both emotionally and intellectually, and a model student at muggle school.
