Physical Description: Emily is the darker haired version of her “darling” younger brother Howard. Standing short but mighty at 5' 3” her size can be disarming. Her fair skin is a family trait often accented by bright red lipstick and a pair of hazel eyes. Emily enjoys letting her hair down so that it falls around her shoulder blades in soft long waves.

Emily dresses classy, much like her mother did when younger. Her shape is curvy and she is quite alright with that. Though she may not tower over people, Emily can hold her own. Her legs are well shaped and often hidden under skirts that are cut about the knee. Enjoys dressing up but can be just as much the girl in blue jeans and a t-shirt. Her basic lounge wear is sweats and an old vintage t-shirt.

Personality Description: Emily enjoys to tight rope the line of bad and worse. With a tendency to keep with her own kind, Emily is known to stick with her like-minded Slytherin brethren and alumni. A born leader of the pack, Emily is charismatic and enjoys the attention and admiration of others. Emily collects odd shaped jewelery and strange bobbles she finds while wandering through intriguing little shops.

Is a magnet for danger, loves to live life carelessly. If she runs about unfettered she is at her happiest. Emily loves flying, reading, and potions. Skilled with Defense Against the Dark Arts, Emily enjoys reading about dark magic much like the kind her father practiced.

Known to be hot headed, hot blooded and much like her brother stubborn to a fault. One of her worst qualities are her temper tantrums that can bubble up when she took all she can take and won't put up with it a moment longer. Emily hates when she has to settle, refusing to do so if entirely possible. when she knows the bar can be raised much higher and when people look down on her she tends to be spiteful or down right cruel.

Having found her niche in potion making soon after her first year, Emily has been creating and making potions since. This is where she decided she wanted to have an important job which would give her a reason to learn more about her passion both it's good and bad sides.

History: The Coopers are a pure blooded family, with strong prejudice and old money keeping the family afloat for years. Emily is the oldest of two Cooper children. Born in Chippenham, Wiltshire UK to Desmond and Marybeth Cooper, Emily was a bright eyed child who always looked like she was up to something. Spending much of her childhood in the care of nannies and tutors, things changed very little for her during her mother's second pregnancy. It wasn't until complications at birth, taking her mother from her that Emily found herself the only girl in the family. Desmond was mostly absent, being an Curse Breaker with great influence in the ministry spending much of his time making a name for their family. Howard was her little brother, and mostly seen as a pest due to her desire to keep her father's attention when he was home.

Having a governess for much of the time keeping her reigned in, Emily lived for the times when she could leave her ever watching eyes. Wandering through the estate, Emily enjoyed going into her father's study and pulling out the large books she had no business touching and reading through them. Like a sponge she absorbed the material and read everything from potion books to old journals collected over time. Her favorite being one of her mother's tied together with a deep purple ribbon. Emily took the precious ledger along with one of her mother's silver chained necklaces, she kept the book under her pillow and the wore the necklace every day since then.

One of her tutors decided that the children needed culture and began to teach them musical instruments until they found the one that spoke to them. Emily enjoyed both Violin and Flute, but stuck with Violin because she felt it involved more skill. While her brother played Piano she would play along with the violin, mostly for her father's friends when he was home, putting on a glossy veneer of the happy and contented family.

When she turned the proper age for schooling she was accepted into Hogwarts School for Witch Craft and Wizardry. The sorting ceremony had everyone on pins and needles, but when young witch sauntered up full of confidence that she would be in her father's house and his father's before him. Sitting under the hat however she felt her confidence shake a little when the hat almost questioned her placement. A whispering in her ear almost said Ravenclaw, gritting her teeth she hissed "Noooo” low at the very thought. A Cooper in another house? Disgusting! She would be the laughing stock of her very lineage. It was a heart racing, pulse pounding moment she could have done without. When the hat finally called out Slytherin she felt the ruffled brim being pulled from her brow, flatting her hair she scampered off in the direction of her new house with the look of determination on her face.

The girl made friends easily in her own house, and was known for popularity with the boys. Emily was pleased to find herself along like minded individuals who enjoyed potions, gossip, and ambition. While attending her first few years, Emily found she was skilled in Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms. Joining Charms Club shortly after her second year, she continued to enjoy those classes immensely. Though she spent much of her time in her other classes passing notes to her girlfriends, Emily kept her grades to her father's standards.


While in school Emily was known to be both the protector of her younger brother as well as tormentor. Scaring off girls who came in his direction for the most part, she was sure to keep him safe from boys who looked like they might mess with him. It was okay when she did it but she was fiercely protective of those who were foolish enough to mess with her family. Being angled faced, Emily could fool many an adult into thinking she had nothing to do with a hex here and a jinx there placed on other students. Rarely did she end up in detention unless she was careless and then she worked extra hard not to get caught next time. During her fifth year in Hogwarts, Emily was named a Slytherin Prefect much to the surprise of some of her house mates. Emily enjoyed the power but kept her head knowing full well she could go over board when given too much of a good thing. She wasn't against bending the rules to fit her needs, and reprimanding those who tried to do the same.


When she left school with high scoring NEWTS, Emily went onto be an intern for St. Mungos under the watchful eye of Jason Marren. The man taught her everything she needed to know about healing and cures. She holds him in high regard and respects his abilities. When she finally became fully endowed with the rights and responsibilities of a Healer, Emily became a healer on the Third Floor St. Mungo's – Potions and Plant Poisoning. This was where her specialty lies being quick on her feet and ready to work on the most tragic and dangerous poisons, rashes, and other maladies.

How does your past and abilities justify your current skills?:

7 Years at Hogwarts, and several years interning at St. Mungo's with a specialty in Potions, Antidotes and Poisons. Based off her skills in school of maintaining high grades in her main subjects, Emily is well rehearsed in concoctions of all different shapes sizes and desired effects. Every day she goes to work, checks in on the Potions and Plant Poisoning Floor and does rounds to see who is improving, who has not, and what she might be able to do to help ease their pain or symptoms. She was trained by Jason Marren for her current position and on a regular basic picks his brain for possible solutions for the questions she cannot answer due the inexperience that comes with youth.

Writing Sample:
Show your character in a scene that illustrates the best and worst aspects
of their personality. Include action, dialog and thought. Walking through the Potions and Plant Poisoning ward, she could hear her hard soled flats click against the hard wood floor. A recent addition had caught her eye. A man who was caught on the business end of a bad love potion seemed to be fairing worse than she previously expected. The bloke, having spent much of the evening flirting with a coat rack, Emily decided it was time to escort him back to his bed.

The gossip had been swirling about the dark haired man, and who might have slipped him the juice. Leaving him alone strapped magically to the bed with a binding spell. “Can't wander off now,” she muttered as he began to compare her eyes to pools of dishwater. Cocking a brow and turning on her heel, she swished her hips keeping time with her internal beat making her way towards the visitor's tearoom she decided to take a small break.

There was the risk of burn out with this job. The twenty-five year old sat in a comfy chair the scent of tea wafting to her nose as she tried to think of reversal spells and potions. Coming up empty, there was definite frustration growing within her. Her hands found her throbbing temples as she started to rub them in a counter clockwise motion. If she went back up there and he had untethered himself in some fashion she was going to blow a gasket.

That's when she gasped, “Jason!” She thought out loud startling a woman who was about to sip some tea. The young healer jumped out of her chair and moved quickly towards the stairwell. If anyone would have the answer Jason Marren would, her mentor and jumping off point. Heels clicking loudly against the ground she cussed wearing such insensible shoes while in a building of that size. That was of course an issue for another time. She rounded the corner of the first floor and bounded through the door, she was on a mission.


Sum up your character in one paragraph: Her motivations are purely selfish, she enjoys the brewing of a cauldron and the smell of simmering ingredients used to cure or create havoc. Though she uses her potion skills for good, she has been known to use them to cause a ruckus while in school, slipping a weak love potion in her brother's eggs once just to see the reaction. Emily thoroughly enjoys watching people react well to her potions and the glory is not at all something she would shy away from.
