Web SearchIf you have written other characters here: YesIf Yes, list them all: Jonah LassiterIs this a Primary or Secondary Character?: Primaryname: Aisling Antigone Shayd.o.b: 1 May 1997 (Taurus)city & country of birth: Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Walesblood purity: Halfbloodhouse & year: Hufflepuff, 3rd yearwand: 12 inches, beech, unicorn hair. Bendy and smooth.Physical Description: Standing at 5'2" with a slender build, Aisling gives the impression of being more of a wisp than a living girl. She has sleepy-looking blue eyes and long auburn hair, which she wears down and frequently forgets to brush.Her style of dress cannot accurately be described in a single word, though "eclectic" might come close. If she's not wearing her school uniform, her clothing is often mismatched and uncoordinated, as if she got dressed without looking at her clothes. The one consistent point of fashion with Aisling is that, given the choice, she will never, ever wear shoes.Personality Description: Aisling is an imaginative, creative girl who thinks outside the box. She's dreamy, honest to a fault, and rather perceptive when she's actually paying attention. She's also very good with animals - she'd like to become a magizoologist when she leaves Hogwarts, she thinks. It's her second choice, but her father says being a fairy is out of the question. That said, she's not the best at picking up on social cues. She's spacey and naïve, which often leads to her misinterpreting sarcasm as seriousness and lies as facts. She also has a hard time translating her thoughts into words other people can understand, so she doesn't always make much sense. She has a very... dreamy manner (otherwise described as drifty and inattentive) and a bad habit of not finishing her sentences and wandering off in the middle of conversations.History: Aisling Antigone Shay was born in Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales, on the night of Beltane. Her mother is Emma Maddox, a pagan muggle, and her father is Alistair Shay, a wizard. Her parents met when her father, a self-proclaimed "Irish Englishman", visited her mother's hometown of Pontypridd to see the Rocking Stone. They bonded over an interest in Druidic history, and before long they were married with Aisling on the way. Alistair gave her the name Aisling to honor his grandmother of the same name; Emma chose her daughter's middle name out of a love for Sophocles' tragic heroine Antigone.Aisling was raised to believe in magic both in the capital M sense and in the more day-to-day sense, the magic of wizards and the magic of muggles. From her mother she learned of old gods and ancient rites, and from her father she learned about schools for magic and sports played on broomsticks. In her mind, the Wizarding world and the muggle world were never in opposition - rather, they existed one next to the other, blurring and flowing and connected by the undeniable blend of magics she learned to see in everything and everyone.Growing up, Aisling was always surrounded by nature. She spent much of her childhood barefoot, catching frogs in the stream, chasing butterflies, or racing with the horses kept by people in her town. Her love for nature didn't stop at animals, though - she made personal friends with each tree around her house, talked to the flowers in the garden, encouraged the grass to grow strong. Any other parent would have been worried for their child, but Aisling's parents knew better. Her mother saw in her an old soul in tune with the earth, and her father saw a promising herbologist or magizoologist in the making.In September of her eleventh year, Aisling traded in the standing stones and rivers of Pontypridd for the flagstones and lake of Hogwarts Castle. She never for a minute thought to worry about such things as fitting in or making friends - she just assumed that, like at home, people would take her for what she was and that would be that. She certainly did not expect to be teased for her oddities, or have her trusting nature taken advantage of. It was typical bullying with a magical twist - her shoes would go missing (not a problem, in her opinion), her homework would get ink "accidentally" spilled on it, she'd find rude notes in her bookbag. Most children would take this kind of bullying to heart, trying to change or hide the parts of themselves that drew attention. Not Aisling. She barely seemed to notice the antagonism, and instead of becoming jaded she floated through life in the same airy-fairy manner as ever, never trying to be anything but herself. As Aisling's magical education continued, she's come up against one statement that challenges so much of her upbringing: Muggles are not magical. She's struggling profoundly with this concept, feeling it fundamentally opposed to everything she believes. To Aisling, magic is everywhere and in everything, muggles included.Classes: Core ClassesAstronomyCharmsDefense Against the Dark ArtsHerbologyHistory of MagicPotionsTransfigurationElectives--Care of Magical Creatures-Muggle StudiesHow Do You Fit Into Your House?:Aisling was chosen for Hufflepuff above all because of a love for doing. She's no good at sitting and learning from books, but needs her hands in the dirt to feel at home. She is loyal, honest to a fault, and hardworking (even if she doesn't seem to be). She believes in the fundamental goodness of every human being and she tries to bring out the best in everyone around her.Sum up your character in one paragraph:Aisling Shay is an odd duck who is unapologetically herself and encourages the people around her to be the same. She's strange, to be sure, but behind the disjointed sentences and half-finished thoughts lies a loving, optimistic young girl who believes in all the good in the world.
