[attr="class","GGcontainer2temp1"][break][break] [attr="class","GGcontenttemp1"] Holly Lydia Winthrope is a confident young woman and a survivor of the second wizarding war. Strong willed courageous and snarky as they come she’s a spit fire who doesn’t hold back her opinions and with a penchant for sticking her nose in places it doesn’t belong she’s run into her fair share of troubles in the past. Friendly enough to those who are friendly in return she’s haughty but a lot less so then she once was, though any haughtiness which remains is with good reason, with a genius level IQ she’s a very talented witch though she lacks the right amount of concentration to truly hone her intellect. Slowly maturing she’s grown from a fanciful girl to a caring young woman with ambitious dreams. She enjoys knowledge for the sake of knowledge and adores spending her time researching facts and interests that have truly caught her attention. Holly’s a caring individual ready to offer advice and an open heart should anybody need it or want it.[break][break] Typically feminine she’s bubbly and with a girlish flair she’s sweet natured but with a steel edge though many who don’t know her would suggest her selfish or foolishly naïve when in fact she’s rather cynical and with more than enough sass to last a life time. Typically Holly’s incredibly stubborn, and with a tendency of saying what's exactly on her mind her blunt honesty has probably upset a few people. She also has a very black and white sense of right and wrong and while she does claim compassion she is very guilty of judging before she knows the full story, she's without a doubt reckless and has no problem throwing shade be it in the name of banter, or otherwise. So she's probably got one or two people that dislike her, she wouldn't go out of her way to make enemies though, as she's by no means an aggressive person nor is she horrible, if anything she prefers befriending people instead of alienating them. She's not physically strong but with an iron will she's really no push over so don't underestimate her; she may surprise you, she's never been afraid to bite the bullet.[break][break] Rather impatient she buckles under stress easily and hates waiting around. When she’s put under pressure she her temper wains though once she’s snapped at somebody she’ll become incredibly apologetic and feel just awful constantly trying to make it up to the person. Breaking her spirit can be done by judging her too harshly, she’s incredibly self-conscious and while she hides it behind snarky comments her self-esteems pretty low when it comes to how she perceives herself personally. She’s never truly felt good enough and anybody who insults her intellect or capability will either have Holly bursting into tears or riling her anger up so much she’ll explode into a tempestuous rage. Anger is something she doesn’t deal with well – because she rarely finds herself angry – and it can take her a while to calm down once she flies of the handle.[break][break] Born to Emilia and Nicholas Winthrope – a middle class pureblood family- on a cold October day, Holly became the youngest child of the couple, she was a difficult baby who cried a lot and only really found solace when her father would sing her to sleep. Her parents often joked that she was the reason they never had any more children. She was quite an odd child, she was very independent from an early age and preferred trailing around the garden alone picking flowers and hunting for ladybirds to bring back to her mother. Though there was one person she couldn’t be parted from, her brother Oliver. Holly absolutely adored her older brother and was quite possessive over him in her early years clinging to him whenever she had the chance.[break][break] As she grew older and out of her odd habits, Holly learned to appreciate her cousins, while a lot of the girls played tea parties or pretend magical creature games Holly tried her best to join in with the boys and their pretend duels. She never succeeded however as no matter how much she pouted or stamped her foot at them they’d always send her away claiming ‘girls can’t play duelling.’ Much to Holly’s chagrin. It never stopped her from trying however, but eventually she did give up and settled into the world of tea parties and dolls with the girls.[break][break] Holly first gave signs of magic when she hit the tender age of seven, she’d been climbing the tall chestnut tree at the bottom of the garden when one of the branches snapped and she’d hurtled to the ground. Instead of breaking a lot of bones Holly simply bounced - much to her father’s relief who had witnessed the whole ordeal from the kitchen window. Her troubles didn’t end at falling out of tree’s though, only month’s later she was sent to St Mungo’s with breathing problems after a particularly long game of tag with her borther. She couldn’t stop coughing and her breaths were labored, it was there they discovered she had a particularly bad case of asthma one that acquired her to always carry an inhaler. However her encounters with the magical world didn't end there.[break][break] While it did limit what she could do, Holly didn’t mind, reading was becoming much more appealing, and she also enjoyed taking pictures with her mother’s enchanted camera of the strange insects she found in the garden or the countryside near her home. It was this that led her to become a lot quieter and lot less clingy, one could say she was finally growing up, her parent weren’t as impressed, they wished for her to make friends and become the social creature Oliver creature was. Though they held their tongues. [break][break] When her letter finally came for Hogwarts Holly was more than excited, she was ecstatic, she couldn’t wait to see everything her older brother had told her about, it would be her first adventure, though she made her parent’s promise to write to her as they said goodbye on the train, she may have been eleven but she still needed to hear from them, once in a while.[break][break] After arriving and being sorted into Ravenclaw Holly began to enjoy her life at the castle, she made a number of friends who she dearly cared about and most of her early Hogwarts career went without much complaint. There was incident with bullying in her second year, a particularly snobby Hufflepuff had begun making comments that soon grew into flat out bullying. With her insecurities already beginning to brew it became a stressful time for Holly her friends encouraged her to talk to her professors but Holly ended it with her fist in the girls face. She can’t really remember it happening, the girl had made another nasty comment about her home life and the next thing Holly remembered was being hauled into her head of houses office.[break][break] Nevertheless she wasn’t bullied again. Her parents were disappointed in her and it was from that moments there comments became critical, they pushed her and while she was grateful for their support they were crushing her. By her third year, she when puberty hit something strange began to happen, sometimes when she dreamed things, they happened. It was simple things, like a first year dropping their plate at breakfast or a headline in the Daily Prophet, at first she thought was going crazy until one day she fell into a full a trance and terrified her best friend and predicted the outcome of the inter-house Quidditch match.[break][break] It spurned her to continue with her Divination class – which she’d been almost sure of dropping – and while she kept it to herself the class helped her understand. Finally her OWL’s came and with the mounting pressure from her parents who were constantly bombarding her with letters instructing her to do well Holly lost her way. She became closed off and sensitive with the mounting pressures and it wasn’t until her OWL’s finally passed and she received a decent set of grades that she began to feel comfortable again. Her parents of course found them acceptable, but only just. And didn’t hold back their criticisms, Holly held her tongue, and didn’t argue, she never argued. During her sixth year everything changed, the growing darkness took over and while her family remained neutral there was an increasing pressure on them to show their support to the dark lord, of course they didn’t and Nicholas lost his job at the Ministry leaving Emilia to become the sole provider for her family.[break][break] Holly grew increasingly stressed, school was a nightmare, the world was falling to shit and her powers were becoming increasingly stronger. Solace came when her friends convinced her to join DA, risking their lives for students and the war effort Holly found an escape. Glad to be doing something productive and positive she threw caution to the wind and grew increasingly reckless in her behaviour. Gone was the fanciful girl and born was a maturing young woman who wanted to do some good in the world.[break][break] At the battle of Hogwarts Holly and the other underage students were evacuated, however she caught a sixth year Gryffindor sneaking back into the school to fight, her friends were convinced and so Holly joined them feeling a dire need to protect her loved ones.[break][break] The battle lasted until dawn; she lost two of her friends that night and barely missed a killing curse being blasted around by a wounded death eater. As the battle subsided and the wounded were collected Holly sat amongst the students in a horrified daze. As soon as she returned home, her mother hauled her into counselling – for post-traumatic stress disorder – and the family slowly began to rebuild their lives. Nicholas returned to his position in the Ministry while Emilia continued her work at St Mungo’s, Holly herself is about to begin her Seventh year at Hogwarts and with the visions still traumatising her she’s not sure what the year will bring. What she is sure of is her life at the school, she has big dreams of travelling the world and nothings going to get in the way of that.[break]
