Taryn Dickenson

From Absit Omen Lexicon

Taryn Dickenson is a Salem Institute junior and half-giant basketball star who has come to Hogwarts to participate in the Tetrawizard Tournament. She is enthusiastic, good-natured, and thrives on competition. In addition to her prowess on the basketball court, she has also taken home numerous awards for her performance in wizarding rodeos, partially thanks to her love of large and possibly dangerous magical creatures.

Notably, Taryn arrived at Hogwarts bearing the egg of a Horned Serpent, which hatched into her pet Nagendra. Never the most mature person to begin with, Taryn can get particularly childish over her pet, and does not understand how other people could possibly find him frightening.
