My bios! SPOILER!!: Jillian Holtcombe Name: Jillian Holtcombe Goes by: Jill Picture: Birthday: July 21st Age: 18 Height: 5'6" Blood: Halfblood Major: Curse Breaking A Curse Breaker is a profession at the wizard's bank Gringotts, in which a wizard or witch is asked to break curses in ancient tombs to bring back lots of gold to Gringotts.
It is said to be a very dangerous and serious profession, in which a wizard or witch could be killed as a result of an old curse, jinx, or hex. An O.W.L. in Arithmancy is required, and known job functions are synonymous with the name as such. The Goblins that run Gringotts generally do not care what the Curse Breakers look like in terms of appearance or dress, as long as they bring home lots of gold. Curse Breakers are known to operate in Egypt. Source: HPWiki Minor: History of Magic Year: Freshman Roommate: Undecided Sororities: None yet. Personality: Jillian is a tough cookie. She's not one to be put down easily, and will drag on a fight if offered one. She's usually rather quiet and prefers to keep her thoughts and opinions to herself; however, once you upset her, she will not delay to snap and let every insult in the book out. But though she can be a little hot-tempered, the girl doesn't necessarily enjoy and look for arguments. She prefers to have a civil relationship with those around her. Jill doesn't care much for girly things and activities - shopping, nail-painting, boy-talking, etc. However, that doesn't mean that she walked around unkempt and looking like a bum, she just prefers to dress more casual.
Despite being a little hot-headed, very proud, and extremely stubborn, Jill has always been a good student. She wasn't the best of the best, but she was never average or anything less than that. She was dedicated to her studies, though she didn't let them rule her life. Jill has always been one to encourage change, the idea of breaking against the norm and changing society's views. She'll participate in any protest as long as she feels the cause is right, and even started some during her school years, demanding real chefs prepare the school food rather than elves. Unfortunately, the school only gave in to her demands after she had already graduated and created a large following of younger students all fighting for the same cause.
Jill is also a rather adventurous girl, and will take on any challenge offered to her. The riskier, the better. She wasn't necessarily known to be a troublemaker as much as she was known to be a leader in protests and organizations back at school, but she does enjoy causing a little trouble now and then. Who doesn't? Family: Jillian is a middle-child; she has an older sister who is currently twenty-two and the complete opposite of her. And then she has a little brother, with whom she keeps a close relationship. Though for the most part, Jill's pretty independent and isn't one to really look forward to much family-time or that sort of thing. Other: Jillian keeps a pet ferret named Panda. The girl is head over heels in love with her ferret and tends to take him out on walks around campus during the weekends.
& SPOILER!!: Oliver Catherwood Name: Oliver Catherwood Goes by: None Picture: Birthday: January 3rd Age: 20 Height: 6'2" Blood: Pureblood Major: Obliviation An Obliviator is an employee of the Ministry of Magic tasked with keeping the Wizarding world hidden from Muggles. Obliviators perform Memory Charms on any Muggle witnesses who happen to see something they should not, such as seeing a magical creature. Source: HPWiki Minor: Magical Education Year: Sophomore Roommate: None, he has a single dorm. Fraternities: Sigma Mu Eta (ΣMΗ) Personality: Oliver is, for the most part, your average college student - he's dedicated to his studies, though he still finds the time to go out and have fun. He's not necessarily shy, but he's not wild and out of control either; he enjoys a good adventure and taking risks, just like any other guy. However, he has a bit of a problem. He's honest - too honest. Oliver isn't necessarily a bad person, and neither does he try to be, but he often finds himself on people's black lists due to his outspoken nature. If you rolled out of bed and walked into class looking like a mess, he won't be afraid to tell you. He won't go up to you and say it, but if you asked him about it… well, you asked him. While in the classroom, Oliver is very dedicated to his studies and keeps a serious face throughout most part of the class; he doesn't like to be distracted and has little trouble paying attention. He had always been a good student. But once out of class, the boy turns more carefree and will be up for anything as long as it's with a good group of friends - grab some butterbeers, watch a Quidditch match, etc. Family: Oliver has a rather… difficult background. He used to live with his mother, father, and little sister Alice. When he was twelve and his sister six, their mother passed away from an unknown illness ( 'cause I'm too lazy to come up with a real one) and their father fell into a deep depression. Lost in his grief, the man stopped caring for the kids and spent most of his time away from home, leaving the kids to cook for themselves; when he returned home, it was as if they were strangers, and he never really spoke with his children anymore. Seeing this was obviously not going to lead him anywhere good, Oliver left home and took his little sister with him. He moved in with his aunt and uncle, who took care of them for the next four years, until Oliver was sixteen and moved out to live on his own. He wanted to take Alice with him, but his aunt and uncle didn't allow it, as they knew a sixteen-year-old boy couldn't take care of a child by himself. But Oliver never stopped visiting his little sister; he took her out whenever he could, he spent most of his money getting things for her, and wrote to her almost every week during the time he had to leave for school. To this day, he and Alice still keep an extremely close relationship and the boy leaves the dorms every weekend to visit her. Other: Oliver doesn't really talk much about his past; he doesn't necessarily see it as this great painful experience that he just can't talk about, no. He just sees it as a challenge he had to overcome and finds no need to tell the whole world about his troubles; he doesn't want anyone's pity and though he may not want to admit it, he doesn't want people seeing him differently because of his background. It's not like he did anything wrong, but he just wanted to fit in as a "normal" kid the way his classmates did, most of which lived at home with their parents of course.
Oliver also plays an important role in his fraternity, and often helps coming up with challenges and tasks for the new students to perform to join the fraternity. And though Oliver isn't really a bad guy… he really does enjoy giving these poor kids a hard time.
