Hometown: St. Albans, now resides in London
Bloodline:
Magical Strength (pick one): Charms
Magical Weakness (pick one): Transfiguration
Year (pick two): First, second
Biography:
1960 was a weird year for Tippa Lackless. She lived with her folks her whole life until December, 1959, when her older sister, EG, took her to live with the Emersons instead. Those people were her cousins, 'apposedly.
At first Tippa didn't know if she'd like staying with her cousins, but it turned out they were pretty neat. They were all wizards except one, and though it was sad leaving their parents, Axel and Melissa and Bethany and Anise and Ox were a lot more fun to spend time with. Even if Ox was a 'newsense.' Tip and Bethany became fast friends, and Tippa learned how to fly, and then she got her own broom, and her own wand, and got to watch Axel and Melissa do magic. Sometimes her other cousins came around too and they were grown wizards who did magic too.
The only bad part was day care, because they treated Tippa like she wasn't smart enough to take care of herself. Obviously nobody had told them she used to sneak off to
Going to Hogwarts was gonna be the best thing.

House Request: Hufflepuff please!
Personality:
Tippa doesn't like playing by any rules but her own. She likes doing her own thing and ordering others around until they play along, 'cause she obviously knows best. Tip's unapologetic, with little insight into how her actions affect those around her. On the positive, she'll defend her people 'til the end, and her standards are high for how others treat her and her friends, meaning she has a habit of picking fights about the smallest infractions.
Appearance:
Small but scrappy describes Tippa best, from her beat-up Converse runners to the curly crop of ginger locks atop her head. She hates when her hair grows long enough to tickle her face or fall in her bright blue eyes, so she tends to hack off pieces herself when needful, with whatever sharp objects she can find. Usually Tippa wears her father's spare grey newsboy cap, in which she keeps her most prized possessions, and doesn't bother with girly clothes because how is anyone s'posed to climb or bicycle or fly while wearing stupid skirts? (By the way, does she need permission to wear pants as part of her uniform?)
→ SAMPLE ROLEPLAY.
Option I:
The dungeons. A place eleven-year-old Evangeline had not yet travelled since her arrival at Hogwarts.
A place she really was just fine with not knowing; but it was too late. The dare had been accepted, even if it had been done in fear of being kicked out of Gryffindor, like the older girls had said she would because Gryffindors were supposed to be brave.
The air changed instantly when she hit the main corridor of the dungeons. The dampness was almost too much for her and she instinctively took a deep breath to avoid the sensation of being suffocated. There was also a sour burning smell which Evangeline assumed was from many, many Potions lessons.
Further and further she walked, her steps so slow and gentle they made no noise against the stone walls and floor. The feeling that she wasn't alone crept up her spine and raised the tiny hair on the back of her neck. Shivering, Evangeline wrapped her arms around herself. Suddenly, she missed the warmth and comfort of the Gryffindor common room. The fire was always going and it made her feel at ease.
Why had she let those girls talk her into this? She was only eleven, she didn't have to be brave. Surely the Headmistress would not kick her out of Hogwarts for not being brave.
If only she had these thoughts while being dared to search for the ghost of one Emma Birch, whom supposedly haunted the dungeons. It was not, Evangeline had learned, the place where the sixteen-year-old girl's life had ended but as she had been from the house with a snake as its mascot, it was the place her spirit had returned to. That common room was down here somewhere, she'd been told.
Something - the small blonde girl wasn't quite sure what - but something made her stop in her tracks suddenly. There was a low, dull thumping noise. Or maybe that was her heart beating so loudly she thought it was coming from outside her body.
"H-h-hello?" Her voice was barely above a whisper.
Remembering that she was supposed to be brave, Evangeline tried again.
"Hello! Is Emma Birch here?"
The sound of her own words bouncing back at her off the walls made her jump.
Roleplay response:
This was gonna be so fun.
Tippa had been mostly minding her own business when she heard the word 'dare' from a student who forgot to whisper (which was a big mistake). And then she accidentally heard a bunch of words that came after the word 'dare'. The redhead had learned enough to know that some girl was gonna be going to the dungeons, and that she wasn't happy about it, and that a ghost was s'posed to maybe show up.
'Cause she was bored, Tippa got an idea. She'd go into the dungeons too and do something funny. And when she peeked around the corner where she waited in the dungeons, and saw that it was Evangeline, she knew it was gonna be even more fun than she originally thought.
"Hello! Is Emma Birch here?"
Tippa made a funny face. That probably wasn't the proper way to call a ghost, never mind she had no idea what the better way could possibly be. But the loud question was probably more likely to scare off a ghost than anything. Anyway, Tip wasn't a real ghost and this was her chance, so it didn't really matter.
Cupping her hands around her mouth, Tippa made some really convincing ghost noises. "OooooOOOOooooohhhhh. OoooooOOOHH!" Then she clamped her hand over her mouth to keep the giggles from coming out 'cause ghosts probably didn't giggle. Oh, Beebee was gonna laugh so hard when Tip told her about this.
