Biography:
 Taylor Hope Night was born to Eleanor and Langston Night on the 1st of April, 1993.   The married couple thought of her as a wonderful great addition to the family, after Taylor's sister, Adele who was 3 at the time Taylor was born. Eleanor and Langston made a promise the day Taylor was made, to treat her with love and care, and to grow her up as a friendly and educated child.

 Growing up, Taylor was very close with her parents. She trusted that they would always be by her side, no matter what. Langston worked as at the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Magical Transportation, while Eleanor was a housewife, as she was born a muggle and wanted to spend time with Adele and Taylor. Although Taylor's family was fairly poor and didn't have many luxuries, their bonds were close and Taylor thought of it as learning how to survive and live without things.

 Taylor usually kept occupied with her drawing most times when she wasn't with her parents. She loved to let her thoughts just flow on to a piece of paper, in a very beautiful form. She also liked writing poetry, as she felt that it had partly the same effect as drawing. Taylor loved to spend time with Adele too. They would chat and play games out in their backyard very often. When Adele left for Hogwarts she felt sad, but she always looked forward to the summer vacations!

 Soon it was time to go to Hogwarts and experience magic for herself. Taylor felt very nervous when the day had came, but very excited too. She boarded the Hogwarts express and sat next to her sister in a comprtment with a smile. From then she had many hopes and dreams and the urge to try and become less shy.



ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Personality:
Taylor can often be very quiet and is usually the one to listen more in a conversation rather than speak. She has many goals and will work hard to try and achieve them. Taylor would not think of herself as lonely, and will try to make many friends. She does not like to stand out in a crowd and likes to blend in. Taylor is known to be very gullible, and will believe the silliest of comments. She also loves to try new things. Taylor's dreams for when she grows up is to become a professor at Hogwarts, as she loves to learn and think it would be interesting to teach.

Taylor has large, almond shaped blue eyes. She finds them her most interesting feature. Taylor is what some people consider a tall girl for her young age at 5'4". She find it very cool because she gets to where her 15-year-old sisters clothing, who is the same hight as her. Taylor is also pretty skinny weighing at about 90 pounds.

SAMPLE ROLEPLAY
 
Option I:

Blimey, the Great Hall was packed. It seemed like everywhere a guy looked there was some clown waving around a House banner or yelling about the game.

'Can you believe it?' 'No way!' 'This must be the biggest upset in Hogwarts Quidditch history...'

Stupid Quidditch.

James flopped into an empty seat at the end of the table, shoved an empty plate out of the way, and let his head sink onto his crossed arms, squishing his freckled nose down flat against the tabletop. He wasn't sure why he'd even bothered to come here, since he definitely wasn't hungry. He'd probably never eat again, in fact. He didn'tdeserve to eat. He hadn't stopped in the locker room to change out of his muddy, sweaty uniform after the game either, because he was pretty sure he probably didn't deserve to be clean too; and anyway he couldn't stand to see the looks on his team mates' faces after he blew their chance at winning one of the biggest games they had ever played.

Just one lousy shot. That's all it would have taken. If he could have just got that one stupid foul shot to go through that one stupid hoop, they could have won and he wouldn't have been the biggest blockhead in the entire school.

As if to prove the point, half the people at the next table suddenly broke into a loud victory chant. James pressed his face further into his arms to hide the bright red blotches he could feel creeping up his cheeks. That was it. He was just going to have to run away and move to Nova Scotia. He'd just cost the three-year-in-a-row Champions the Quidditch Cup! How do you ever live that one down for crying out loud? He was only a second year and he was going to spend the rest of his life as 'that dumb cry-baby kid who dropped the Quaffle!'

It felt like every set of eyes in the room was boring into him, and James couldn't stand it anymore. He jerked himself back up from the table and stomped right back out of the Hall the same way he had come in. As he stormed into the quieter hallway outside, he could hear footsteps somewhere behind him. James rounded on the sound and began to shout, his brown eyes shining with tears. "WHAT! Haven't you ever seen a loser before? Why don't you just take a picture!"

Sample Roleplay Response:

Taylor had been startled. All she had was that she went to see if James was feeling alright. After the quidditch match he had seemed pretty angry. What to say? What to do?. Taylor couldn't think straight at the time. She got nervous. If it was one of her friends she would of sat down next to them and ask if they wanted to talk it out. Instead, Taylor just stood there looking like a fool. She twirled one of her curly locks around her forefinger,  like she always did when she was nervous or couldn't decide what to do. She then decided to toughen up.

Taylor had sat beside James and smiled at him. She didn't even know if he knew her name or even recognized her but it wouldn't hurt to be friendly. "Um... I'm sorry if you thought I was making fun of you or laughing... I wouldn't think of doing something so.... rude. Would you like to talk?" Taylor probably had looked pretty odd to James. It wasn't often someone you never talked to before asked if you would like to talk about your feelings and thoughts.
