Alaska Rain Hawke is an 11 year old girl. She looks strikingly similar to her mother, with the only notable change being that she has tan skin like her father. With light brown eyes and light brown, curly hair- she is a very cute child. She doesn't smile often, in fact she often looks like she may be spacing out. Whether she is thinking about some dastardly plan- or what she wants to eat next is up for debate however. When she does smile it's extremely infectious, along with her laugh. So loud it fills the room, accompanied by wild snorts. She does have one other distinct feature- a birthmark on her arm. A lack of pigment in one spot making a tiny square of white.

Her personality is that of any 11 year old- she likes to make friends and play. Although she can be rather mischievous and get up to no good if she feels up to it. Being the only child in her family and having the attention always on her has been both a blessing and a curse. A blessing in the form of what any child would want - attention! But a curse in the fact that it has pushed Alaska to want to be rebellious, perhaps she should climb this tree? Perhaps she should try and snatch this candy her mother said she couldn't have? However, she's also particularly shy upon meeting people for the first time. Wary of anybody she doesn't know, 'Stranger Danger' and all that. It may take her a bit before she finally opens up and talks more often.

As a muggle-born witch, she has to muggles for parents. They had no idea the wizarding world even existed before Alaska started showing some odd abilities. Nothing to extravagant- but her parents began noticing small things here and there. For instance, Alaska having a streak of pink hair after seeing it on TV. She'd thrown a tantrum to her parents about wanting it, and when the small streak appeared (almost giving her poor parents a heart attack) it vanished just as quickly. Another instance was the time at the local pet store. Another tantrum induced bizarre scenario. The old back and forth, Alaska wanted a puppy, her parents did not, how convenient that the lock on the cage happened to open just as they were leaving? Here comes the puppy running into Alaska's arms. When she celebrated her 11th birthday and the letter came for her, her parents were of course shocked, but proud and happy to have a healthy witch among their family.

Alaska is excited for this new adventure she's about to undergo, although a little nervous to be away from her parents and her dog Lucky. She hopes to learn as much as she can, if she can stay focused...
