The Character!
Name: Hermione Granger
Age: 17
Gender: (Male or Female) Female
Wand: 10¾" vine wood, with a dragon heartstring core.
Blood Status: Muggleborn
Character Appearance:
Describe Your Character: Hermione has bushy brown hair, a bossy sort of voice, and brown eyes. As a youngster, she had rather large front teeth, prompting insults from students such as Pansy Parkinson, who once compared her to a chipmunk. Hermione had Nurse Poppy Pomfrey magically shrink them in 1994 after she was accidentally struck with a Densaugeo spell, making it unnecessary for her to receive the braces her parents had originally intended for her. Ron noticed her teeth were much straighter and took more notice of her. When angered, "her hair seemed to crackle with electricity" and her voice would become slightly shrill. Hermione never gave much attention to her appearance, except when she used great care in fixing her hair for the Yule Ball using Sleekeazy's Hair Potion, which she later remarked was too much work to use every day. Many of her fellow students were stunned by how pretty Hermione looked that evening. She keeps her hair long, as it was once described as a "long mane of brown hair," and sometimes ties it back in a plait. She is implied to be relatively plain in her younger years, but becomes much more attractive in her late teens. Hermione received positive attention for her appearance from Ron Weasley, Viktor Krum, and Cormac McLaggen during her time at Hogwarts. Ron Weasley and Harry Potter both agreed that Hermione had nice skin, while Harry was trying to cover up what he saw in Ginny, and Ron showed an attraction to Hermione.

Personality: (at least a paragraph) Hermione is noted for being extremely intelligent and hard-working, coming out on top in most of her classes and continuously helping Ron, Harry, and Neville Longbottom with their school work. She was given a Time-Turner in her third year to facilitate her taking many more courses than most students. She was so adept at school work at that she often had time to do hobby work on the side, such as preparing a defence for Buckbeak to save him from execution, and creating S.P.E.W., an organisation promoting the freedom of house-elves. Such acts demonstrate Hermione's social conscience, tenacity, and compassion.
Unlike most wizards who depend solely on their magical ability, Hermione readily relies on logic. Although this often helps her cleverly deduce information that many others miss, such as Remus Lupin's lycanthropy, Hermione's emphasis on logic also makes her sceptical about accepting anything without proof, as opposed to Harry who will come to intuitive conclusions without proof. For example, she was not open-minded about the existence of the Deathly Hallows, refusing to believe in them until there was solid evidence. Hermione often acts as the voice of reason among her more impulsive friends, to varying levels of success, and is reluctant to break rules unless it is necessary in pursuit of something more important, such as when she suggested brewing Polyjuice Potion in order to investigate the Chamber of Secrets, which was breaking "about fifty school rules" by her own admission. Hermione is not afraid to stand up to her friends when she thinks it is in their best interests or when she feels they are wrong; she risked angering Harry by getting his Firebolt confiscated because she feared it might be jinxed, and argued with both him and Ginny over his use of the Dark Sectumsempra spell. Hermione is very determined and focused, in that she "always keeps her attention focused on the job that must be done." Hermione's strong will was also demonstrated by her refusal to break under torture, when Bellatrix Lestrange inflicted the Cruciatus Curse on her repeatedly in 1998.
Because of her intelligence and her opinionated nature, Hermione has the reputation for being a bossy know-it-all. However, her sometimes abrasive confidence masks her insecurities and great fear of failure, as personified by her Boggart. Hermione feels the need to prove herself, perhaps partly because of how many people in wizarding society look down on Muggle-borns. She does not let anyone bully her about this, however, and stands up to bigots like Draco Malfoy who taunt her with the derogatory epithet "Mudblood," gradually accepting and proudly wearing that title. She also became one of the few people to call Voldemort by name in her fifth year.
Hermione demonstrates her bravery many times during her adventures with Harry and Ron, though she initially showed a tendency toward mild panic in the face of sudden danger, which she eventually overcame. She is extremely loyal to her friends, fiercely defending them if they are insulted and willing to risk her life to help them. She also gave them advice rather often, such as in trying to make Harry understand Cho Chang's behaviour on their date, and in helping Ginny deal with her crush on Harry; this once prompted Ron to advise her to write a book to translate all the "mad things" girls do so that boys could understand them. Hermione is quite blunt with her opinions, sometimes to the point of not being very tactful; for example, her attempt to comfort Lavender Brown about the death of her rabbit did not go over well, and her honesty when dealing with Centaurs in 1996 nearly landed her and Harry in serious trouble. Despite this, Hermione is generally sensitive to others' emotions and will lie when she has to, though she is not a skilled liar, as demonstrated by her ability to trick Dolores Umbridge in 1996 by coming up with a convincing story, but inability to fake crying in order to be more persuasive.
Hermione also tends to be rather argumentative, a trait most evident in her interactions with Ron. Although she is generally not as short-tempered as her friends, she has displayed a formidable one on several occasions, such as slapping Draco Malfoy in defence of Hagrid, blackmailing Rita Skeeter as revenge for her libel of Hermione and her friends in the press, sabotaging Cormac McLaggen's tryout as a Keeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch team after he insulted Ron and Ginny, and conjuring a flock of canaries to attack Ron in their sixth year.

Character History: At least 3-5 Paragraphs, a paragraph is 3-5 sentences) Mr. and Mrs. Granger were Muggle dentists who seemed proud of their witch daughter. They appeared to be accepting of the wizarding world, as they went shopping with Hermione in Diagon Alley and allowed her to spend several holidays with the Weasley family, but did not approve of their daughter using magic as a quick-fix, as indicated by their not allowing Hermione to magically fix her teeth. They correspond by owl post with their daughter throughout her school year, but other than one holiday in France with her parents, Hermione spent almost all of her time in the wizarding world. In 1995, she planned to go skiing with them during the Christmas holidays, but ended up going to 12 Grimmauld Place to try to cheer Harry up instead. Hermione told her parents that the reason for her cancelling was to study for exams, indicating that her parents expected her to do well in school and were probably not aware of the extent of their daughter's involvement in activities relating to the Second Wizarding War.
To protect them during the height of the war, Hermione modified her parents' memories in 1997 to make them believe they were entirely different people, and they left the country.

What you are looking for in the future with this charrie: She wants to develop her career and venture more into the dark world which Death Eaters run, in order to find out more information about them in order to feed her curiousity about what is currently going on. She wants to also build her new life completely making new friends etc to defeat Voldermort and his army.
Sample Roleplay: (At least 2 paragraphs, a paragraph is 3-5 sentences)
The warm summer sun distracted Hermione as she sat drinking her coffee slowly in a small cafe in the centre of Diagon Alley. So much had changed over the past few months, but she finally felt like home now she was back in the magical world. She couldnt help but feel a sense of not belonging here. Whether this was due to her long absense from the magical world. Or just the fact she feels the scars caused to her by her former classmates due to her blood status.
Hermione shook her head thinking stupidly of that last thought when she remember that is was a long time ago. She sipped her coffee again and thought to herself where all her old friends had gone and what had happened to them. She smiled to herself and looked up in time to see a face she didnt think she would see again for a very long time. Her smile instantly fading as panic filled her, things had changed... But they had got much more worse.
