Biography: (300 words minimum.)

When else would an Irish lass be born than on March 17th? St. Patrick's Day. Dundalk, about a dozen miles south from the British border. Fiona was a bit of a tomboy as a child, hanging out mostly with boys. She became especially good at a game called hide-and-seek. Sure you know what I am referring to.

At Hogwarts, she was sorted in Ravenclaw. The Hat had hesitated between this and Slytherin, but had tipped the balance towards the house in blue and bronze. As it turned out though, she was more cunning than smart, but she did have a passion for Potions and Transfiguration. The only two classes that she actually studied hard for. Fiona made connections with other students to help her at least passable grades in the other classes.

Otherwise, she was a bit of a troublemaker in her first few years. Getting herself in a pickle with professors quite often and having to serve detentions at least once per month. One of them had actually told her once that she might end up in Azkaban in the future, if she kept on like that. In the later years, Fiona became somewhat more disciplined, but not completely. She started to learn how to get away with doing something she wasn't supposed to be doing. Because she didn't want that professor's prediction to come true.

Average grades on her OWLs and NEWTs, except for Charms, Transfiguration and Potions with Exceeds Expectations.

After Hogwarts, she landed jobs as saleswoman or cashier at various shops in Hogsmeade and London. However that didn't last, as the underground attracted her more. She started with petty theft, moving on to trafficking of illegal objects and, now and then, property destruction. Because she disapproved of Britain still keeping hold of Northern Ireland. Fiona considered that there should be one United Ireland.

Of course, she got in trouble with the authorities and even got arrested a few times. However, Fiona managed to escape custody and associated herself with one Irene Dumont, a new figure in the London underground, who taught her even better how to avoid the authorities. Meaning the use of fake names and disguises. After all, Fiona was good at Potions and Transfiguration. The Irish lass went back to trafficking, which would also start to include illegal substances and information.

The inability of the Aurors to bring Fiona O'Malley back into custody landed her on Wanted posters. And she was very proud of it too.

As years passed though, Fiona started working more and more with Irene's daughter, Katya. The latter started drawing the Irish woman away from the underground and more towards the world of vigilantes. No, don't get me wrong, Fiona was no vigilante. But she provided Katya with the needed information to bring criminals down. It was different than the work she was used to before, but she became quite satisfied with it.

Especially after one of these wrongdoers almost killed her and Katya made sure he landed in the hands of the authorities.

At present time, Fiona was brought in contact with the Head of British Aurors, after one of her information-gathering operations went south and Calypso Ross herself with Katya (now an Auror) saved the Irish woman from potential death. When being offered to run due to her connection with Katya, Fiona unexpectedly rejected the offer and made a counter-offer to the two Aurors: arrest her or work with her in unofficial capacity.

Counter-offer which was accepted. Now, Fiona is in a rather unexpected position: to help the Aurors fight criminals. Like she used to be. How she will get on in this new posture, we are about to find out.

Roleplay:

Option One -
Amelia Nixon was many things, but she was never a pushover reporter that people could just usher away with a busy shuffle past. She was dedicated and eager to cut to the very middle of the current political tensions because she was Amelia Nixon and her articles would most certainly become front page material.

“Sir, please! It’s for the Prophet, how do you feel-“

Another one brushed passed her, the shuffling busy masses making their way through Diagon Alley for the lunchtime rush. This had been the best possible time to get people, but none of them were giving her anything to go with.

Only momentarily discouraged, the short red headed lady took a seat on a nearby bench. Her quill resting in her left hand and her notepad ready in the opposite hand. Amelia pouted, tapping the quill against her leg as she scanned the waves of people for somebody - anybody - who looked like they had something to say.

She had been dreaming of her name in bold print, Amelia Nixon: The Source of Today’s Tomorrow. She had been dreaming of the larger office and the secretaries that would fetch her the morning coffee and fetch her anything she needed. The VIP interviews and the most exclusive press passes. But all Amelia had was a page seventeen piece on the rising number of frogs in London.

Hardened by a day of no success, the reporter stood up and started to trod off down the alley. A loose stone on the cobble path caught her heel, sending the distraught girl toppling down to the ground.

“Merlin’s fog watch, my heel is broken! Help!” she yelled as she tried desperately to recover her shoe frantically in the middle of the Diagon Alley moving crowds.

Roleplay Response:

Hidden in plain sight, Fiona was chilling in a corner of Diagon Alley, watching the hustle and bustle of people at lunchtime. If she wouldn't have struck that agreement with the Aurors, she would've probably tried to go in this commotion and pick some pockets. This was a different Fiona though. Hair dyed red, pair of nerdy glasses on, she simply observed the people.

Crime had a tendency to happen both in quiet alleys and in the middle of busy streets.

However, her attention went towards someone else. A seemingly-younger woman, red-haired, potentially a reporter judging by her behavior. She seemed to have no success in getting whatever information she wanted from the people rushing past her. Fiona felt rather sorry for her, as she watched the poor reporter being rejected time and again.

Then things made a turn for the worse, as the poor reporter's shoe broke and she fell on the cobble path. There was a scream for help. At first, Fiona didn't budge. But, in the end, she pushed away from the corner where she was standing and moved through the crowd, as she spotted the broken shoe. Fiona picked it up and then moved towards the reporter, handing it to her.

"Hon, if you want to draw attention from people, especially men ... show a bit more skin ... One button undone on your blouse, skirt shortened a bit ... You'd be surprised how quickly you'll get a response." Brief pause. "Come on ... think you need some help with your article, no? What do you say?"
