Wand: Brett's wand is exactly 11 inches long made of Hawthorn wood with a Phoenix Feather core. It is springy with a spiraled handle and smooth shaft.

Physical Description: Brett is of average height and on the lanky side. She has short, dark brown hair that she never wears the same way two days in a row. Sometimes it's curled, sometimes straight, messy or slick, and of course she opts for hats now and again. This is not out of being high maintenance- but rather because she likes the change and would likely get bored otherwise. Brett has freckles- lots of them- on her face, and instead of hating them she embraces them and thinks they are quirky and fun. Her eyes are dark brown, and there is nothing very exciting about them.  Brett is very much a tomboy, and as such hates wearing dresses or skirts. Brett is almost always smiling or laughing and having a good time.

Personality Description: Brett is definitely a firecracker. Growing up with only brothers has made her somewhat of a tomboy. She'd rather play quidditch than dress up and go out. She definitely has spent her years at Hogwarts as "one of the guys", belching and farting with the best of them. Brett knows that it isn't very ladylike behavior- but she doesn't really care much about being ladylike. Brett just likes to have fun- and considering the hard work she's had to put into classes to have a chance to be an auror- her time for fun has been somewhat limited, which is why she never lets it go to waste.

She's very friendly, and tends to get along with most people. Brett doesn't put on airs, and isn't the sort to pretend to be someone or something she isn't. This is a trait that makes her approachable and helps her to get to know others and fit in with the crowd.

Although Brett likes to have fun and enjoys goofing off with her friends- she knows that she has to work sometime. Ever since she was a little girl she has wanted to grow up and be an auror, so she always did her best. Brett was a natural when it came to her wand work, but had to spend a lot of time studying and working to get grades in the other required classes. Although she isn't a straight O student- and certainly not the most well behaved- most people know that she works hard, and she doesn't try to trick her professors into thinking she's a natural- often asking for help and advice.

Brett isn't all sunshine and rainbows, though. She tends to be very stubborn- not wanting to admit when she is wrong, and isn't always able to realize when she's just beating her head against a brick wall. She hates giving up, so she often dedicates herself to tasks which are pointless. It can be frustrating to others when they try to talk some sense into her- because it rarely works.

She's also very crass and rude at times, mouthing off when she shouldn't and tends to curse like a sailor. Brett does her best to curb it when it's inappropriate (in classes, etc.) but it slips out anyway. It's a habit that her parents hate, but she and her brothers often have contests to see who has the dirtiest mouth- which only teaches her new phrases and words.

Brett has a very strong sense of right and wrong, though. She understands that it is wrong to pick on the weak, and stands up for those who will not or cannot stand up for themselves. She likes to be friends with the younger years- hoping to give them some guidance and help them out when they need it. Brett likes to help tutor, and is involved in a few Hogwarts clubs where she takes a special interest in the younger students.

History: Born in the town of Hinklesprocket, England- a wizarding community, Brett Jane Abraham is the fourth born child of Mackenzie and Jacob Abraham. She is also the only girl in the family. Her mother and father fully expected Brett to be born a boy, too, so they had picked out a boy's name for their baby. When she was born lacking the necessary equipment, they decided to keep the name- hoping that it would help their daughter be a unique individual- and gave her a girl's name for her middle name, so she could have the choice when she got older.

Her oldest brother is named after their father and aged 23, and after him came Robert Abraham- aged 22, and finally Walter Abraham- aged 20. All four children were obviously born close together, but it was a blessing growing up, as they always had someone to play with. Brett fit in well with her brothers, and they always let her play with them- encouraging her to play sports and helping her learn the games they played with the other neighborhood boys.

Mackenzie never worked outside of the home, bringing in supplemental income by tailoring robes and breeding and selling crups. Brett's father owns a bar called The Hopping Pot (named after the Beedle the Bard fairy tale).

She always had fun playing with her brothers growing up. Brett basically ran wild outside with them, and her mother and father never saw any reason to try to force her into "being a girl"- although some of her other family members tried. After all of her brothers went to Hogwarts, and she was left alone, Brett had a hard time. She was used to always being around people and got lonely.

When she was ten years old, her mother took her to Diagon- like she did on a regular basis. While they were out at Diagon, Brett got to witness the Aurors do their job- capturing a bad guy and saving the day. She thought it was amazing what they were able to do, and liked that they were saving innocent people. From then on she knew that she wanted to be an auror, too. She liked the idea of catching bad guys and protecting people. Her parents, who always encouraged her in everything, got her books about the aurors and told her that she could do it- but that she would have to work hard.

At the age of eleven, Brett would start Hogwarts. She was sorted into Gryffindor rather quickly- the same house as all of her older brothers. She was glad to be back with them, but their relationship at school was a lot different from how it was at home. They were busy and didn't always have time to play with her or pay her the attention she wanted. But it was okay. Brett was soon making friends with the people in her year and fit in really well.

She kept working hard at the classes she would need to become an auror. Most of her friends were boys, and she loved following the quidditch games at school and on the wireless in the common room.

Third year rolled around, and she had a tough time picking out which electives she wanted to take. Eventually, Brett signed up for Care of Magical Creatures (because she has always liked animals), divination, and ancient runes. She did well in magical creatures and with runes, but never could get the hang of divination.

Brett really buckled down in her fifth year, studying hard for her OWLs and doing a lot of extra practice. Her social life suffered a little because she was so worried about her tests. It paid off in the end, though, because Brett found herself getting great scores. She got an E in Potions, Herbology, CoMC, and Runes. Brett scored O's Transfiguration, Charms, and DaDA. Brett got an A in History of Magic. But she didn't pass her OWLs in Astronomy or Divination.

Brett took NEWT level classes in the classes she got E's and O's in. Her sixth year was a lot of fun. She got to take a break from studying, got more heavily involved in clubs, and took a special interest in the dueling club- she saw it as great practice for what she hoped would be her future career. It was in her sixth year that Brett really started to befriend the younger years, too, and take them under her wing.

Since the beginning of her seventh year, Brett has had a lot going on in her social life. She has become very close friends with Fauna Blake, hoping that the Hufflepuff will join her in Auror Training. She's also become close with the Fayette twins. (Although once in a while she gets confused about her feelings for Dion- but that's not something she likes to think about.) Brett is realizing that she is growing up and has to start acting like an adult- which is kind of a bummer. But she knows that when she goes into Auror Training she'll have some close friends with her, which helps keep her chin up. (Because naturally, Brett is convince she will pass all of the requirements and be allowed to train.)

How Do You Fit Into Your House?: Brett is definitely a Gryffindor through and through. She stands up for people, and doesn't back down from what she knows is right! Brett tries to always do what is right, is loyal to her friends, and not afraid of anything. (And, of course, she has some of the recklessness that a lot of people associate with the Gryffindors.)

Writing Sample:

Sum up your character in one paragraph:  At the age of eighteen, Brett has spent her entire school career working to become an auror. She's loud and quirky, likes to have fun, and gets along better with boys than girls for the most part. Brett has strong morals, is close with her family and friends, and is looking forward to graduation and embarking on her adult life- hopefully joining auror training with some of her friends.
