Chloe Harris

From Absit Omen Lexicon

Chloe May Harris is a smart and artistic girl who is honest and quiet. She excels in transfiguration, and is unsure about her future.

Personality Description

Chloe is a quiet girl. She is very confrontational, and refuses to let bullying go on in her presence. Chloe is an honest girl, but at the same time, will not say the honest thing to someone who it would hurt. If one of her friends was crying, she would not be the one to tell them more true bad news about the situation. While Chloe is quiet, she is vocal with those she's comfortable with. With her inner circle, she is vocal about her opinions, and makes jokes, while around people she doesn't know well, and in class, she is much more reserved, and sits back and observes.

Chloe is a very studious girl. Being muggleborn, she never grew up around magic, and so, she likes to see it practiced. Her real knack is for transfiguration, which is her true interest. She is rather clueless about her future, unsure about what she wants to do. She knows she doesn't want to be auror, but doesn't want to go back to the muggle world, and hence feels weird about what she'll do after graduation. She doesn't want to be a healer, but figures the closer it gets, then she will make the decision.

Chloe isn't a hopeless romantic. She does believe in true love, but doesn't believe in true love for kids her age. She figures true love is for those who are older, who are ready to settle down. Chloe however, is like most teenage girls. She has crushes, and she dates occasionally, but it isn't her entire world.

Chloe is a pretty good artist. She likes to paint, but doesn't do it a lot. She likes to sculpt and paint, but its all where she can find time. She will do it if she has a few hours off, but generally just doodles in her notebooks during boring lectures.


History

It was a snowy day, December 10th, 1993, the day Chloe was born. A healthy baby girl was what the doctor told her parents, and they couldn't have been more happy. Darleen and George Harris brought her home to their white picket fence home, where they now had their dream of 2.5 children, and were completely societally correct. George worked at an insurance company, and Darleen stayed home, baking pies, and watching their two kids, Harry and Chloe. Harry was a jokester and born two years before Chloe. He started walking early, and grew to love football, just like most people in their town. Chloe on the other hand loved to draw on the walls, or any surface for that purpose that she could reach, not bothering to say much. She was always a quiet baby.

When Harry was four and Chloe was two, the Harris family welcomed their third baby, little John, who was just the same as his brother, loud, charismatic, and loved to play with the black and white ball.

So now, the Harris family was the perfect family. White house, blue shutters, 2.5 kids who loved sports (except for Chloe, but they just pretended that she did.) and would have dinner parties with the other local families. This was something Darleen and George were very proud of, as reputation was everything. So, it came as a surprise when they got a call from the preschool Chloe was attending, saying that she shoved a little boy's face in the sand, and needed to be brought home. Chloe had said that she saw him push another kid and was dispensing justice, but George just shook his head at her, telling her to not get involved with bullying, and to ignore it. This set the standard for the kids behavior when growing up.

When Chloe was in middle school when she was 9, she saw what her brothers were. They were the bullies. The popular jocks. With perfect hair and teeth, to witty personalities, and skills in football to match. They could make fun of a kid, and see their social status crumble. Chloe wasn't that way. She didn't like the way they treated others, but did not want to get involved. So, she just passed her grades, and doodled in her notebooks.

The summer before her 11th birthday, Chloe began to show signs of magic, making things move without her knowing. When she showed her mother, her mother was disgusted. Chloe was not normal. She was weird, strange, and no longer fit the mold that they strived for. So, when Chloe received her Hogwarts Letter, her parents were relieved to have somewhere to send their disappointment as a daughter. They bought her all of her wizarding things, but made her promise that when she was home, she would never talk about hogwarts, or anything magic related. If anyone asked, she was going to an art boarding school, for the artistic elite. Anything to keep the family reputation.

Chloe loved it at Hogwarts in the Ravenclaw house, the place where nothing was normal. She could do what she wanted, and didn't need to worry about her reputation. She could do what was natural, instead of what would get the most guests to the dinner party. Here, Chloe could dispense justice as she saw fit. If someone was bulling someone else, she could step in and stop it, and not be reprimanded.

She made friends, though none that she really counted as best friends. Chloe just did her work, and flew. My, how she loved to fly. It was like sports, but at the same time, not, for it was an abnormal sport. She loved to play keeper, and sometimes would play it with her friends.
