I have four characters open for adoption, but only two are named.... sooo we'll post the two named ones first and go from there

Name Rosa Knight
Age/Birthdate July 1, 2089
Appearance or suggested face claims 12 year old. probably brunette.
School/House or Occupation Hogwarts second year
Family info Rosa is one of four!!! She's a quartet with three brothers. Her mother is Alexandria Knight (nee Hadley), father is Cole Knight.
Personality Traits up to you
Background Information She's on this HUGE family tree if you counted extended cousins and links and all that. like i'm talking the family echo is almost 5000 characters lmao. Also Alexandria is the kid sister of a character you might remember, Josephina Hadley. Yes that one . Alex was a Ravenclaw, as was her mother and one of her sisters, but Josephina is a TRUE hufflepuff, and really the offspring of Cole/Alex are probably likely to be Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw but they could likely be any house. There's not really much development at all done with the kids, so really they're a prime slate for development
Extra Stuff Hogwarts 2nd year. Being that Rosa is the only girl, i'd imagine her mother probably favored her a lot and she is probably A LOT like her momma as a result. Old Alex bio in case you're interested in reading more about her momma

Name Ryan Knight
Age/Birthdate July 1, 2089
Appearance or suggested face claims 15 year old. probably brunette.
School/House or Occupation Hogwarts Fifth year

Name: Joseph (Joey) Wesley Schultz
Age/Birthdate: March 3rd, 2094

The kids are the offspring of Tucker Schultz (Gabriela Recard's son) and his ex-wife, who is the daughter of my former Department Head character Wesley Kutcher.
Personality Traits: Stereotypical Slytherin. He doesn't get along well with Moritz OR Nancy. Mostly because he's only ever looking out for number one (aka himself).
Background Information: I have literally nothing else, really. Aside from those key points the rest of the charrie is yours to work with!

• Name: Mandrake "Drake" Apollo Beery
• Age/Birthdate: 20 January 2100 (currently age 9)
• Appearance or suggested face claims: His twin sister's face claim is Ashley Moore -- so dark eyes and curly hair is the vibe. William Marcin comes to mind, but I know pictures of him are limited, so the face is up to you.
• School/House or Occupation: Hogwarts, Gryffindor or Hufflepuff
• Family info: Descendant of Herbert Beery, former Herbology and WADA professor; son of Juniper Beery, a botanist, and Oceanus Katsaros, a sailor; younger twin brother of Gillyweed "Gilly" Artemis Beery.
• Personality Traits: The twins are two sides of the same coin – they are inseparable, yet different. Wherever one twin can be found, the other is bound to be nearby. Their mother, in fact, was quite adamant about treating them like two peas in a pod. In their youth, they frequently wore matching clothes, had the same classes in primary school, shared a similar group of friends, etc. As they aged, however, it became clear that the twins were equally just as different. Gillyweed displays a more melancholic temperament, whereas Mandrake is more sanguine. They have a strong bond with each other, though seem to be drifting as the years go by and their own identities further develop.
• Background Information: Gillyweed and Mandrake were born in Mykonos, Greece. Before their birth, their father Oceanus went out to sea with a group of cryptozoologists and never returned due to a shipwreck caused by a violent tempest. Juniper, a single mother, realized she could not support herself and two newborns on her own a couple of years after the twins were born and returned to her childhood home in Devon, England. After getting back on her feet, Juniper and the twins moved to a small apartment in London, where the family currently resides. At the present time, the twins attend St. Woldobo's.

Name: Malachite Jasper Ainsley
Age/Birthdate: born in 2098 (exact date is flexible)
Appearance or suggested face claims: most likely blonde, with any eye color tbh (I'll include his siblings' FCs down below)
School/House or Occupation: Hogwarts student or soon-to-be Hogwarts student
Family info: the baby of the Ainsley family, youngest of five. Parents are pureblood cursebreakers with a focus on geological studies (hence the conceit of how they named their kids). TBH they're part of my huge family tree, as well, so distantly or not-so-distantly related to a lot of characters.

his siblings:
older brother: Heliotrope Chrysoprase (AlwaysSnapesGirl, face claim is Tobias Studer)
older sister: Chalcedony Onyx (LilFox06, face claim is Julie Tuzet)
older sister: Sapphire Alexandrite (SilverTiger, face claim is Mathilda Galmot, younger FC was Agnia Barskaya)
older sister: Emerald Peridot (itsjustjesse, face claim is Megan Stott)
Personality Traits: flexible
Background Information: the family is rather eclectic, letting their kids follow whichever paths they so choose. Open to most anything, honestly. Very much not an elitist upbringing, Welsh/Scottish, living in Scotland.

Name: Tamara Nerys Bowen
Age/Birthdate: 19 July 2099 (starts Hogwarts September 2110)
Appearance or suggested face claims: You can choose a FC. In terms of relatives’ appearance, Mom FC is Lexie Kendrick, Dad FC is Tom Cullen, one of her sisters’ FCs is Violet McGraw so I’d say any eye color, and probably not blonde hair. Her oldest (half) sister’s FC is Chloe Coleman.
School/House or Occupation: child, Hogwarts student/future student
Family info: Middle of 5 girls. All grandparents are wizards. Her dad is a magical clockmaker and her mom works in a “very boring” wizarding office. Her oldest sister is technically a half-sister (same mom). Very large and close extended family. 2nd oldest sister will be in the same Hogwarts year as her. FAMILY TREE (descendants of grandparents only). Sisters Anna (sweetpinkpixie), Andrea/Andy (Lady of Light), and Miriam (Waddles) are all played characters.
Personality Traits: flexible
Background Information: Generally a happy, cohesive family. LOTS of girls in extended family around her age, and she has gone to St. Woboldo’s wizarding primary school.
Extra Stuff: Ummmm house-wise, her oldest sister is a Hufflepuff, previous generations had mostly Ravenclaws but now she has some cousins who are/have been Hufflepuffs and Slytherins.

Name: Kai Aurelius Reed (male);

Age/Birthdate: 27 June 2102 / 8 years old;

Appearance or suggested face claims: You can assign the FC as long as he's blonde. I also imagine him to have a unique eye color. (see more below);

School/House or Occupation: Primary Wizarding Student, Hogwarts-bound;

Family info: adoptive parents are River Reed and Camilla Stewart-Reed, former professors at Hogwarts;

Personality Traits: you are welcome to assign traits for this one;

Background Information: River and Camilla wanted to start their own family, however, Camilla was already at the age where she can no longer conceive. While Camilla was on her daily walks with their dogs Roscoe and Bumi, the dogs found a 3-4 month-old infant lying amongst trash bins, obviously no longer wanted by the mother. The baby had golden blonde hair, with a blank note tucked away in his diaper. The piece of parchment was enchanted, and the contents of the note can only be revealed through magic, signifying that the baby's birth mother came from a wizarding family. The blood status of the birth parent is unknown.

Extra Stuff: The baby came with just one sock. The other pair was kept by the mother.

Name: Opal Isabelle Dreamer née Lemonswald
Date of Birth | Age: 6 November 2079 (age 36-37 in 2116)
Appearance Description: Amparo is her model. Otherwise, a brunette with light-colored eyes and a tanned complexion.
School, House: Hogwarts, Slytherin, Class of 2098. Attended 2091-2098.
Occupation: Free to decide
Family info: Divorced.
+ Grandparents & parents names up to RPer
+ Ex-husband: Denzel Dreamer (married 2 February 2102 - 1 March 2109)
+ Two sons: Diallo Anku Dreamer (b. 6 June 2106), Devad Isaiah Dreamer (b. 28 September 2108)
Her ex-husband, Denzel, has full custody of their two sons.

Personality Traits:
She cares for her appearance. She was pressured to marry and raise children from her parents, but over time the pressure unfolded. Like her husband, she too kept the marriage going for appearances, but didn't want to pretend anymore. She hasn't spoken with her husband or kids since the divorce in 2109. But she may be open to reach out after all this time.

Background Information:
The Lemonswalds are a pureblood family. They hold a high reputation for class and sophistication. Opal was raised to be the best, expect the best, and continue the legacy. She married her Hogwarts sweetheart after graduating, and they had two sons. Eventually, she realized she didn't truly get to be herself, and coincidentally, neither did her husband. So they divorced, and she went to find herself ever since. She had a brief romance with Talom Spectre in 2110. She regularly deposits money into her sons' trust accounts to help their future anonymously.
