Hänne Emelin Durmstrang

Name: Hänne Emelin

School: Durmstrang
Year: First Year Second year (they are a year ahead of us, no stat difference)
Appearance: Hänne has long, deep red hair and brown eyes. She has a small, button nose and thin eyebrows. Her face is round and a little chubby, and she usually has a blush in her cheeks from laughter. Her face is quite pale, but she gets freckles in the summer. She’s quite short, but that doesn’t stop her from exuding a sense of surety. She walks with a slight limp (and sometimes needs a cane) from an accident when she was younger, and she has a long scar on the back of her right arm from the same accident. You would normally find her wearing long sleeves and trousers to hide her scars, and she likes to wear the green pea-coat given her the year before she left for Durmstrang.

Reducio

Personality: Hänne is bubbly and outgoing — the ultimate extrovert. She laughs at everyone’s jokes, even if they’re not funny, and has a surprisingly kind sense of humour. Had she gone Hogwarts, she would have been a Hufflepuff. She is loyal and caring, and will stop at nothing to help those she considers family. She enjoys motivating people to do their best, and will always have a quote by a famous author — be they Muggle or magical. She’s a very skilled witch, and enjoys making things levitate the most. Her friends know that she has a ferocious temper, and after seeing her skills, many do not even try to cross her.

History: Hänne was born on the 21st of May, 2009. That Sunday, the sun was shining and it had actually begun to feel warm. Her parents, Nikolas and Venla Emelin, were both half-bloods, and lived in a small house near Alajärvi in Finland. They are both extraordinarily loving parents for Hänne, and she appreciates them all the time. When Hänne was born, her parents took a job as housekeepers for the Murtaja family at Linnanmurtaja, the family castle. Because of this, she was often around and liked to play with the Murtaja’s children, Anja and Ethaniel.

When she was two, her parents moved out of their house and into Linnanmurtaja permanently. Soon after, they decided to send her to a Muggle school to educate her about useful things such as maths and language and so on, because they did not have the time to teach her themselves or the money to hire a tutor. Hänne soon made many friends there, and hated that she couldn’t tell them about magic.

At the age of five, she displayed her first signs of magic. It was small, but significant. One night, when she was exceptionally tired, she could not be bothered to get up for dinner, and her plate of food, along with some cutlery, floated over to where she sat — hence her love for levitation and Charms.

A key turning point in her life was when she realised that Durmstrang was a boarding school. Because of her isolation from the magical community, she never knew this. Being very close to her parents, she was devastated that she had to leave them, so she began distancing herself from them and spending more time with her friends at school. Obviously, her parents began to worry, and a rift between them grew. When Hänne departed for Durmstrang, she behaved coldly and impersonally towards her parents, thinking that this would be a way for her to miss them less. However, she now misses them more than ever and hopes that over the summer, she’ll be able to visit them.
