Description: Morigwynn is about 4'7 in height (or ~140cm), with long and parted jet black hair and gray-blue eyes. She has a slightly pale complexion, and usually a mildly gloomy or pensive expression.

Personality:
Despite growing up with two siblings, in a small community with plenty of opportunities to play with other children, Morigwynn remains an introverted daydreamer with a bad habit of always needing to be fidgeting with something. She's perceptive and earnest, though when she -does- lie, she tends to play with her hair as a dead giveaway. Her passive expression almost seems a little melancholic at times, but she can surprise you with her kindness and insightfulness. It is yet to be seen how she will deal with the pressure that comes with her family's high expectations, and the typical stress students tend to experience. She hasn't yet developed an interest in a hobby of her own, besides a bit of reading and helping in her mother's garden, or getting roped into solving some puzzle by her father.

Family:
[Note: This section will be expanded upon over time, or as characters become relevant to scenes or roleplay.]
- Her father and head of the family is Callum Mulcair, an Obliviator for the British Ministry of magic with a love of puzzles and theatre. He is stern, proud and fair in his dealings, but can seem overly serious to some.
- Her mother is Saoirse Mulcair (Saoirse Concanen before the wedding), and she's a professional Magical Portrait Artist, encaptivating a person's likeness within the animated paintings that are well-known within the wizarding world, though the secrets behind such are well-kept. She's also an avid gardener as a hobby. She's witty, warm, and always seems to know what to say.
- Her older sister is Aisling [ash-ling] Mulcair, whom is 16 years old and is a 6th year student at Hogwarts, within House Griffindor. She's outgoing and brave, and a polar opposite to her younger sister in most cases.
- Her older brother is Aodhan [aidan] Mulcair, whom is 13 years old and is a 3rd year student at Hogwarts, within House Hufflepuff. He's a creative goofball that can seem a little callous, at times.


Home and Hearth:
Somewhere in the hills of North Ireland, near Derry, lies the small wizarding community of Stillfen. Home to only about fourty or so wizarding families, Stillfen's beautiful homes and manors, rolling hills and gardens, colorful ponds and little rivers surrounded by woodlands all lie hidden from the eyes of muggles, like so many places inhabited by witches and wizards. It is home to a few small stores, though mostly for essentials or cosmetics, not boasting any grand variety, and greatly varying in quality. Mulcair Manor itself is one of the oldest buildings in Stillfen, an incredible and stylish mansion built around a very old and large, slightly slanted, tower spanning back many generations, and supposedly hiding many a family secret.

Morigwynn grew up wanting for nothing, as between her family's wealth, the amount of things originally bought for one of her siblings, and the wonderful community she grew up in, there was nothing standing in the way of being a healthy child in a healthy homestead. As the youngest child in the family, there's more freedom to do as she likes, though perhaps less attention for accomplishments that had been done by her two siblings before. Both her siblings had always been loud and boisterous, so she ended up becoming the 'quiet favorite' of her mother's, with more freedom to do as she likes. Though while she'd always been curious as to everything around her, she's not been one to care much about being in the spotlight, resulting in perhaps not the greatest social skills.

On both sides of the family, wizarding blood goes back untold centuries, which each generation feeling the pressure to find their niche, and excel. Most of the family's opinion on muggles is simple: "Let others do as they like, so long as our lines remain pure.", is the general public consensus. If anyone in the family holds more radical opinions or darker views, they keep such well-hidden. Morigwynn has thusfar been thankfully kept away from such notions, though with the occasional nudge here and there to simply avoid muggles.


Muggles and Magic:

Her family and the small community of Stillfen have provided more than enough to give Morigwynn an upbringing away from the world of muggles. While she's definetly been curious about their surroundings, and 'what's out there', she'd always heeded the many warnings her parents gave her of not lingering too far, impressing upon her the secrecy of their little community. Thus, she only really knows rumors of the muggle world, and more interesting subjects have always had her attention. In her heart, she hasn't quite seen enough of the world to truly understand -why- both worlds remain seperate. She's only ever been told 'not to bother with muggles', in essence, and being told that this is just the way things are.

Morigwynn's first instance of magic happened when she was seven years old, while playing around with some toys and getting irritated with eachother, her slightly older brother said something rather mean to her. This soured her mood and slowly began to freeze the glass of water her mother was drinking, while she was trying to console Morigwynn. The moment her brother gave an apology, even one prodded on by both parents, warmth returned to the glass as if nothing had happened. As much as they were proud of that moment, it wasn't celebrated nearly as much as that of her siblings, as by now it was just 'to be expected'.


Wand:
27,5cm cherry wood and unicorn hair
Stiff, very effective for unspoken spells, perfect for defense spells.

Cherry Wood:
This very rare wand wood creates a wand of strange power, most highly prized by the wizarding students of the school of Mahoutokoro in Japan, where those who own cherry wands have special prestige. The Western wand-purchaser should dispel from their minds any notion that the pink blossom of the living tree makes for a frivolous or merely ornamental wand, for cherry wood often makes a wand that possesses truly lethal power, whatever the core, but if teamed with dragon heartstring, the wand ought never to be teamed with a wizard without exceptional self-control and strength of mind.

Unicorn Hair:
Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard.

Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may ‘die’ and need replacing.
