She also has a small Rose tattoo that lays like a half circle around her belly button that covers a fading scar. Another Scar runs from her left knee to the back of her thigh. intended face claim: Keira Knightley overall: Hestia stands at 5’4 with a slender frame that she developed in her seventh year of Hogwarts. What many don’t know, and few remember, is that when she was younger Hestia was actually a very unfit girl. She was thick in body with mousy brown hair and a down turned face- an outcast to say the least. However as Hestia began to train to join the Ministry and found a hobby in dancing she notice an obvious change in her body. Of course some things didn’t change much- such as the scars she still carries from a car accident during her youth- but enough to make her feel healthy for the first time in her life. Now, Hestia has an athletic body that is perhaps too thin but strong. Her skin is usually pale and carries various scars that she often hides beneath her clothes or jewelry. A small rose tattoo stains her stomach beside her belly button. She still has brown hair, although she has been known to darken or lighten it from time to time. Recently she has been allowing it to fall below her shoulders or twisting it into a loose bun for convenience sake. When it comes to her facial features Hestia has often been compared to her mother. Her eyes are dark below thick brows and are often her most expressive feature. Her lips are full but wide and tend to thin whenever she is angry. She also has been known to chew on it whenever she is nervous or deep in thought. Her nose however lies between her high cheek bones and is slightly longer than she would prefer- thanks to her father. If ever asked, Hestia would probably consider herself average in appearance or at most, a plain sort of beauty. As for attire, Hestia isn’t opposed to wearing witches styles but she does find more comfort in the muggle fashions. She prefers jeans or trousers to dresses and jackets to the long cloaks that so many magical folk are accustom to. Also Hestia is a bit of a tomboy so she does tend to wear less feminine outfits. Instead her usual daily attire consists of flat heeled boots, skinny jeans, a tank top beneath a simply blouse or sweater, and usually no jewelry- aside from her ears. However, of course Hestia is also seen in her Ministry uniform quite a bit as well. Still she rarely dresses up any more than her average wardrobe since she really doesn’t see any point in it. In fact, Hestia has only worn a dress or nice attire three times in her life. and then a little about yourself likes: Dueling The Order Reading Novelties Absinthe Her Family The Arts Rainstorms Freedom Wordless Magic Wandless Magic dislikes: Voldemort Child Abuse Stupidity Meat Pies The War Divination Muggle Cars Catty Women Arrogant Men Prejudice The Ministry strengths: Wordless Magic Expert Duelist Bi-Lingual Open Minded Keeping Secrets weaknesses: Wandless Magic Hand to Hand Combat Occlumency Craves Knowledge A bit of a Wild Child boggart: Hestia’s greatest fear is of being burned alive. When she was younger, her mother and herself were in a car accident that caused the other car to catch fire. The sounds of the driver and being a part of such a horrible accident has made her terrified of dying in such a way. She even becomes slightly nervous around large fires, such as bonfires, as well. erised: Hestia’s greatest desire is to defeat Voldemort. While many may think that this desire is bred of the need for fame or power- but in reality it is simply because she craves a place where her family is safe. Being that she is muggle born there is more of a drive in her to see the reign of ‘purity mania’ end. She wants to stop worrying about her parents or loved ones, to fall in love, have children, live a normal life without the constant fear of torture or death. overall personality: Hestia can be a bit of an enigma to those who don’t know her well- mainly because of her secretive nature. On the surface she is an intelligent and determined woman. Hestia has always drawn to knowledge, almost to a fault, as well as being a driven witch in general. In fact one could even say that she could have been sorted into Gryffindor for her selfless bravery and focused mind. She is also an empathetic personality that is open about her dislike of child/women abuse or other immoral behavior in likeness. Vanity doesn’t come easy for Hestia and instead she tends to focus on Human Nature rather than appearance. With this said, she is very observant and curious when it comes to people or situations. While she may not be outgoing Hestia wouldn’t describe herself as a loner either, instead she keeps a small group of trusted friends/family around her rather than a mass of acquaintances. Esti is extremely protective and loyal to her family- as well as to the Order. Finally, she is a hard worker who is seemingly trustworthy and obedient to all of her employers. However, as I mentioned before, Hestia has always had a talent for secrets. For one she is not as loyal to the Ministry as most would believe but instead feeds any information she gathers from there to the Order. She has kept her parents whereabouts a secret even from Albus Dumbledore and can be quite ruthless if/when she feels that they might be in danger. Those close to her have come to know this about her but Hestia has an unforgiving temper. While she may not be prone to fits of rage, Hestia can be grudging and vengeful when crossed. She actually has a very good sense of humor though it is rarely seen due to the somber days of war. The most damaging secret that she keeps though is her addiction to drinking or her more wild behaviors. Hestia drinks rather excessively though she tends to cover it with breath fresheners and perfume. She also finds relief in indulging in controversial situations- such as a bi-sexual lifestyle, going to underground nightclubs, and making deals with unsavory characters for information or other desired goods. history your family and such Father: Warwick Geoffrey Jones, 60yrd, Published Author, Muggle Mother: Mary Lisbeth Jones, Nee; Wright, 49yrd, Nurse, Muggle siblings: N/A pets: A Barn Owl named Hazel born: Wiltshire, England overall history: Hestia Rose Jones was born the only child to Warwick and Mary Jones. While her parents had a noticeable age difference between them, they were a happy couple who raised their daughter with love. She grew up in a seemingly normal neighborhood with no notion that she was anything but a Muggle (a term that she didn’t know till later in her childhood). Essie attended school, played with other Muggle children, and lost herself in her Father’s books- it was a simple but content life. However, that changed rather drastically when Hestia turned eight. Her mother and her were driving to a nearby store when another car lost control and hit them. The other driver was killed in a fiery blaze while Mrs. Jones was stuck between two sharp pieces of metal and Hestia herself was dragged to safety by witnesses. Hestia had been the lucky one as she walked away from the wreck with only deep setting scars. However, the driver of the other car had been killed and her mother had lost her leg- which was later replaced by a plastic one. Ever since then Hestia has had a great dislike of cars and an understandable fear of large fires. At the age of Ten Hestia’s life only became more complicated as unexplainable things began to occur. When she wanted it to rain a pipe would burst in her room, if she wanted the a certain doll it would find itself in her arms, and if her parents punished her- when she felt it was unfair- dishes or other glass material would break around her. This of course worried Hestia’s family but when a strange letter came to her after her Eleventh birthday it all started to make sense. Hestia was a witch. While her mother took the news rather hard, her father seemed excited as ever. He had always been a creative and open minded man so such an ideal seemed more of an adventure to him than anything. For this Hestia has always favored her Father and has often been more relatable to him in personality. She entered Hogwarts for the first time that fall and was sorted into Ravenclaw, which seemed to make her Mother proud since it was the house that represented Intelligence. During Hestia’s school days she wasn’t exposed to any more than stories of the Dark Lord and his defeat. However she did have her share of being bullied for her Muggle-Born heritage. During Hestia’s sixth year she decided that she wanted to become a Auror when a friend of hers, another muggle-born, was attacked and killed by rogue Death Eaters. She graduated from Hogwarts with high marks but was unable to emotionally handle the tests of becoming an Auror and instead landed a job as a Curse Breaker for the Ministry. During her time in the Ministry Hestia began to notice little corruptions here and there. Eventually she became worried enough that she approached Alastor Moody, the head Auror, about the activity. It was through him that Hestia first learned about the Order of the Phoenix. She joined the Order at the age of Twenty-Two when her own home was attacked by Dark Wizards and she relocated her Parents to America, though she has kept their exact whereabouts’ a mystery- even the Order. Hestia quickly moved in station through the Order. At just the age of Twenty-Four she aided them in protecting Harry Potter and was awarded a position in the Advanced Guard. She has still kept her job at the Ministry as a simple curse breaker but also runs a dangerous information trade underground with those she feels can aid her cause. This began when she was only Twenty-One and was introduced to underground clubs (both wizard and muggle)- which also was the beginning of her drinking. She found that she was easily seduced by addictions and the more she walked in danger, the less she was afraid of it. Now, Hestia resides in London and moves between her many ‘jobs’ in life much like a shadow does. Most people don’t even notice her or when they do they rarely get to know her. Stranger yet is the new occurrence of old familiar faces, some even before her time, showing up more youthful than they should. Hestia’s focus is still to help Harry Potter defeat the Dark Lord- though she is becoming more and more enticed by the mystery of the ‘new faces’. now for the person behind the character alias: Rena age: Twenty-One experience: Five Years, on and off where'd you find us?: A Thousand Fireflies anything to add?: Nope =) lastly the roleplay sample Emmeline scanned the black blanket that covered the full moon and stars with dark blue eyes. She realized how the sky seemed so much darker tonight than the previous ones and sighed heavily. This would be both a disadvantage and an advantage for her. In the darkness she and her enemies could easily be hidden, making her mission all the more difficult. Emmy rolled her wand between one of her gloved hands through the cold night air as these thoughts fluttered through her mind. It wasn’t that Emmy was defeated in her job as an Auror, or a member of the O.O.T.P, but more that with the death of Dumbledore she had been feeling older than usual. The war was taking its toll on the twenty-nine year old and for the first time she wondered ‘could they win?’. After all, Emmeline had always been good at reading others but had also been one of the few in the Order to really trust in Severus Snape. What other evils had she been blind to in her time of serving the ‘Greater Good’? Could she really benefit the cause now as she thought she had in the past? With a heavy heart Emmeline saw her fellow Auror’s join her at the Apparition spot and disappeared with them, with a loud cracking sound in their wake. Her thoughts were thrown back into a box in her mind after her physical form took over. Now, she couldn’t afford to continue on with her somber thoughts, since they were thrown into a werewolf hot spot and she needed her wits about her. Greyback had been growing his army recently and that had led to a large increase of muggle murders in the country areas. The Ministry had been informed of an attack in progress and that was what had placed Emmeline in the dark farm lands tonight. She scanned the darkness once again but didn’t have to wait long before she could see flashes of light and fur around her. Emmeline immediately joined in the battle and was nearly knocked fatally against the ground by a heavy animal. She didn’t want to aim to kill but with such aggression Emmy wasn’t left a lot of choice. In times of war, it has always been ‘kill or be killed’. The whole ordeal had lasted only twenty minutes before it was controlled. She considered it a triumph of sorts on the Ministry’s part-though one Auror had been bitten, another had broken his ankle, and one of the wolves had been killed. The other was taken into custody while Emmeline aided the Auror with the broken limb. She helped the grimacing man, Liam she believed his name was, by giving him a pain relieve potion she kept on her person at all times and apparated him to St. Mungos. Once the two were in the brightly lit hospital both winced at the sudden attack of light and took several seconds to adjust to their surroundings. Quickly Emmeline allowed the Medi-Witches to take Liam from her side and tried not to react to their strange looks. She realized how they must look with mud, blood, and an unkempt appearance about them to the clean cut staff of St. Mungos. Alone for the second time that night Emmy left the building and headed for a nearby pub. She knew that she should return to the Ministry, but right now all she wanted was a stiff drink and to wash her face. Emmeline welcomed the darkly lit pub since it mirrored that of the night and headed for the wash room. It took nearly fifteen minutes but finally Emmeline was able to make herself presentable in her uniform. She left the dingy washroom and headed for the bar where a gruff looking elderly woman was serving drinks. Pulling her dark brown locks up into a loose ponytail she ordered from the older woman and waited for her fire whiskey with her head in her hands. “I’m getting too old for this” She muttered to the palm of her leather covered hands.
