Name of Ability that you Are Applying for: Keen Eye
Describe why this fits your character (not why you the player want it): 516 Words
ReducioBeatrice Alaska Dupont has always had a keen eye. Whether it was noticing the tiniest and smallest stone missing from her mother's dress or seeing that one thing the house elves had been searching for, just out of the corner of her eye. Finding things, pointing out something no one other than her had seen or seeing the golden necklace of her mother glinting in a tree after their owl had taken it, none of this was ever a problem.
It was almost too easy for Beatrice to find the smallest imperfection or the littlest of details. Nothing was ever hidden enough for Beatrice to not find it. Her siblings would get annoyed with her while playing a game of scavenger hunt because it seemed like she would just always find everything too easily. They accused her of cheating but Alice and Konstantin Dupont just thought of their daughter as incredibly smart, intuitive and logical.
Sometimes it was just luck, like that time that Beatrice saw a single glass splinter laying in the grass, just before she could step on it. Another time she would find her mother's wand when Alice had been searching for it the whole day. Of course that was not the only time Beatrice had luck with finding things. In a game of quidditch at home, Beatrice would find the snitch in mere minutes, even if she was not the one playing as a seeker. No matter how cloudy it was, the oldest of the Dupont children could always find the sun peeking through the clouds, shining down on her and letting her hair sparkle.
Those ocean water colored eyes would make out every moving object, every hidden object, every bird in the sky even. Nothing was ever hidden from Beatrice.
As Beatrice became older, her ability came to the point of being able to make out the slightest change in her surroundings. Beatrice would when her mother wasn't wearing her usual necklace even if it had just been replaced with a slightly different one, or she would notice that an apple was gone from the bowl on the table. Whenever they went down to Diagon Alley or anywhere else, Beatrice would easily find anything that she was looking for and help her mother find her things too. She was able to find just the right shade of fabric that her mother had been searching for so long, or find the biscuits her siblings wanted so badly.
At home, her siblings would make a game out of hiding Beatrice's things and letting her find them and make bets what she would find first. At Pureblood gatherings and balls, all of the shiny jewelry and decor would be graced by Beatrice's gaze and her eyes would always fall on the galleons being exchanged as gifts. Her ability to find and see things was so very useful that her parents would always ask her to search for anything lost and she would find it. Nothing was ever hidden enough. How could it be when a magical gaze such as Beatrice's found it so easily?

Keen eye is specific to finding objects, not people. Please eliminate anything that states Beatrice finding people as a part of this skill (such as playing hide and seek).

Lucian always had good reflexes. He had to have, considering the older kids love to pick on him. Of course sometimes he wasn’t able to get away from it all but he knew what was happening. He could almost feel them behind him, their presence. Luci used to actually do boxing when he was younger, pretty good at it too! He used to come home buzzing from them. It was a group just full of Purebloods being taught from Half-Bloods. He got good at ducking under the swipes made by the opposing gloved hands and landing a sneaky punch aimed at the ribs. Lucian learnt to be quick on his feat, not to stand so heavy on his feet. The training and the sparring helped as he went through drills, routines. Punch left, punch right, punch up then duck… then kick left, punch up and duck. It helped become agile. Even after he stopped attending, he kept a workout routine every Sunday. To this day. Lucian is even considering going back there now he feels more confident in the world, bring his brothers too.
It wasn’t just fighting that he was quick with. He used to sneak and hear conversations in the middle of the night between his family. They never seemed to notice he was there, a fact he was grateful for when he overheard something happening with his Grandfather when he was younger. He managed to stay undetected even when he let out a gasp of shock. Lucian managed to scramble away and press up against a wall just in time, luckily it was dark so he held his breath and sagged in relief when the door simply got shut again. “That was close,” he had said to himself and edged back to the door, peering through the glass. Of course it hasn’t only been dodgy things like this as when he came to Hogwarts, Lucian viewed this as a new start and had plans in motion to turn it into his playground. Sadly, he hasn’t been able to do that much yet however there have been moments where he has gotten away with things. He and Cia got away with taking a dip in the lake and they managed to get all the way back to the common room without being detected, granted most people were at dinner but that meant the halls would be deserted almost. However that would have given them more of a chance to get caught by a stray prefect or caretaker.

Simon has always been a kind soul. He thrives on interaction with others but not in the way that some do that wish for power and authority. No, he loves to be around others but for the purpose of helping others.
This was first evident even as a young boy, when he would be on the playground at his primary school. Even in these preschool years, the teachers would describe him as "empathetic" and "caring." A classmate might fall from running too fast or off a piece of the playground equipment and it was Simon who was always the first at their side, asking "are you alright?" and offering a helping hand and a kind smile as he helped them up. At this age, he wasn't the one to get the bandage to stop the bleeding, but he could sit and offer his friendship and a distraction while the pain subsided.
As he got older, it was Simon who came to the aid of his friend Gabe when he fell off his skateboard, helping him keep his arm straight and not to move it so much because he was pretty certain it had been broken. It had been. He couldn't heal the broken bone in these preteen years, but he could get Gabe safely and quickly to hospital where he could get the care he needed.
Medicine continued to fascinate him.
During the Summer before his Third Year at Hogwarts, he stopped at a museum called The Wellcome Collection that was located just across from London Euston Station. It was a place that explored the connections between medicine and life and art in the past, present, and the future. It easily filled up his time that morning and sparked his curiosity.
Maybe, just maybe, dragons weren't his thing.
Maybe, just maybe, he was meant to help others.
When school began in his Third Year, Simon worked hard on mastering the bandaging spell, Ferula, and in no time he had signed up to be part of the Healing Internship with the school nurse. From there, it seemed as if there was no turning back.
Simon Kincaid is a kind soul and he strives to help others. He strives to heal others.
Simon's ambition is to become a Healer someday at St. Mungo's, treating ailments and injuries and helping others live happy and healthy lives. It is his hope that he will help bring healing and recovery to those who needed it.

Unbeknown to her, Estelle's grandmother on her mother's side was a Squib. She came from a wizarding family but left them so as to avoid the regrets and remorse Squibs often face when known about in wizard society. As such, she had no reason to tell her husband (Estelle's grandfather) of her magical heritage and he had no idea of the power she might have had. She died just before Estelle was born. Due to this, Estelle had no idea that she had magical heritage on her mother's side. That magical heritage contained a trait that was passed down to Estelle. The ability to prophesize the future.
Estelle's father's family, however, was definitely magical. The Nyx family was a pureblood family who prided themselves on their pure, magical heritage. Many members of the family were Seers and used their prophetic vision to aid the family. These members were prised above all others, and the family tried to marry as many pureblood Seers into the family to preserve this gift. However, they were very anti-muggle and Estelle's father was disowned from the family when he married her Muggle mother.
Due to this, Estelle inherited a very rare, powerful gift. She was a Seer.
As a child, nobody knew of Estelle's prophetic powers. However, she had a talent for getting out of sticky situations and she was very good at dodging. Her friends often joked that she had spider senses, because the way she described why she dodged sounded very similar to the description of Spider-Man's powers. She didn't understand why it happened but was glad nonetheless - it was very useful when she was protecting her friends from bullies.
She told her father all of this, but begged to stay in her school. She didn't care about the bullies and she needed to protect her friends. She quoted Spider-Man at him.
'With great power comes great responsibility'
Her father allowed her to stay with her friends, but started to wonder about Estelle's powers. In many of his family members, prophetic powers had manifested in an uncanny ability to sense danger as a child. But Estelle couldn't be a Seer - her mother wasn't magic. Or was she?
Estelle's father did some digging under the guise that it was for a newspaper article he was writing and eventually found records of Estelle's grandmother and her magical heritage.
Her father rushed home and told Estelle's mother the news. She had magical heritage. She was amazed and took the news very well, just happy she could be a slightly bigger part of the wizarding world. He told Estelle, who hadn't known her grandmother but congratulated her mother nonetheless.
Estelle's dad thought of telling Estelle about the fact that she could be a Seer but decided against it. He'd wait till she was older. He had no proof and he didn't want to give her false information. Instead, he taught her about Seers and their powers, hoping to educate her if she turned out to be a Seer.

Wc : 462
The duality of Aurora Ranvier, a travel sized witch at school, brewing potions and casting spells. But come holiday season, she transforms into an ordinary muggle in an ordinary neighbourhood with a heart reserved only for Taylor Swift, her cat Lucifur, and her grumpy boyfriend. Both worlds have their own pros and cons, and Aurora is always trying to take advantage of every disadvantage. Because she is still a minor and cannot do magic outside school, sadly, she couldn’t make use of her magical prowess to get away from non magical problems. Within the wall of Hogwarts, however, as she struts through the corridor, she's free to unleash her awesome muggle items, except for anything related to technology because in the wizarding world smartphones are about as useful as an Aurora in Ravenclaw’s quidditch team.
Being a half witch and half chaos also has its own charm. Some who unfortunately are on her “naughty” list for whatever reason might be well acquainted with the wrath of her infamous pepper spray. She might not have her wand with her all the time, but people better believe she had at least three bottles of home made hurty juice with her at all times. At the moment she is having it in small travel size perfume bottles, but she is working relentlessly with the help of pinterest and youtube DIY on upgrading the packaging for maximum spraying distance. Just like a wise man once said, the farther it goes, the merrier the surprise. Maybe pepper spray in a squirting gun would be nice.
Having spent years at Hogwarts, Aurora has learned the importance of being prepared for self-protection. As she enters her fourth year, her creative and peculiar mind is already brimming with ideas. While the purebloods and their archaic fossil minds would stick to their wizard way of living without sparing a glance into the muggle world, this particular Ravenclaw prefect would take it as a win. She always has something up her sleeve.
Aurora can't resist the idea of teasing those clueless wizards in a serious situation. Imagine a fierce battle against an evil dark wizard named Sir Evilestofemall McSpellflinger III in a gloomy dark corridor, with our favourite chaotic gremlin has once again forgotten her wand. Guess what she had with her. No, not pepper spray. Something else.
That’s right, ten rubber ducks. She would throw rubber ducks at the pretentious dark wizard and scream, "BOMB!" just to mess with Sir Evilestofemall McSpellflinger’s III’s mind. Imagine the chaos, the confusion, the panic. Of course that scenario only exists in her figment of imagination and she wouldn't unleash such pandemonium for mere kicks and giggles and will only be reserved for the direst of situations where her brand of chaos is truly justified.
No promises though.

Flore's mother, Katherine or Kate, had been adopted by the Harcourt's not long after her birth. They were a muggle family completely oblivious to the wizarding world. At the age of 11, when she started at Beauxbatons she discovered a new world. and at the age of 16 when she found out that she was adopted she started to despise that new world. It was a world of people who didn’t want her, who gave her up for their own convenience.
Her birth mother was Amiralda De Villet, a witch from an old pure-blooded wizard family, in which there had been many Seers over the centuries. She married into the Duquense family but had an illegitimate child, Kate whom she had to give up to protect her reputation. Theo Boivin had been Amiralda's best friend since she started at Beauxbatons and as the years went by their friendship grew into something more. Even after her wedding, cutting all links with Theo was nearly impossible, he was her oxygen, and he was her first love. Kate was the love child of this impossible union.
After graduating, Kate and her best friend, Eli took a gap year and visited all of Eli's relatives in Ireland. Their gap year soon became two years and then they settled their lives there. They would often stay at Eli’s aunt’s place and that’s where the flirting between Matt and Kate began. Matthew Stevens was Eli’s cousin, he had graduated at Hogwarts only a year before and was now trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. Matt had never been a relationship kind of guy, and certainly not a marriage kind of guy so when he announced his engagement to Kate, his entire family thought he had gone mad.
The Stevens were a fairly influential wizard family seeing as most of them worked at the ministry. They didn’t put importance on the purity of blood, they just happened to live exclusively in the wizarding world, and therefore, most of the time ended up marrying a wizard or a witch. They all welcomed Kate into the family, they even tried to get her to work at the Ministry with them but she had always envisioned her life in the muggle world. Matthew had rarely ever been amongst muggles and he was excited to discover that world with her, her world.
They soon had two kids, a suburban house close to Dublin, and two office jobs. The only time they really talked about magic with their kids was whenever Matt’s parents would visit. Flore grew up barely knowing she one day was gonna be a witch herself and she’s definitely not expecting to be a Seer. Kate however suspects that her daughter might have inherited that gene that she heard so much about.
A long time before Flore’s birth, Kate started researching her biological family and she saw that they were renowned for their powerful Seers. She saw that her mother married a man from a good bloodline in the hope to have a Seer heir but that her efforts were in vain. She found many articles about the decay of the De Villet’s and somehow she almost felt bad for the woman who had abandoned her.
With all that in mind, she quickly saw the signs in her daughter’s behavior. When Flore would tell her randomly not to take a certain road, or to wait for the next bus she always listened, and the rare times she didn’t there would always be some incident, sometimes very insignificant, like a lot of traffic but other times there would be accidents or the car would break down. Flore herself has noticed her good instincts and has learned to listen to them but she has no clue as to what they mean.

Her birth mother was Amiralda De Villet, a witch from an old pure-blooded wizard family, in which there had been many Seers over the centuries. She married into the Duquense family but had an illegitimate child, Kate whom she had to give up to protect her reputation. Theo Boivin had been Amiralda's best friend since she started at Beauxbatons and as the years went by their friendship grew into something more. Even after her wedding, cutting all links with Theo was nearly impossible, he was her oxygen, and he was her first love. Kate was the love child of this impossible union.
After graduating, Kate and her best friend, Eli took a gap year and visited all of Eli's relatives in Ireland. Their gap year soon became two years and then they settled their lives there. They would often stay at Eli’s aunt’s place and that’s where the flirting between Matt and Kate began. Matthew Stevens was Eli’s cousin, he had graduated at Hogwarts only a year before and was now trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. Matt had never been a relationship kind of guy, and certainly not a marriage kind of guy so when he announced his engagement to Kate, his entire family thought he had gone mad.
The Stevens were a fairly influential wizard family seeing as most of them worked at the ministry. They didn’t put importance on the purity of blood, they just happened to live exclusively in the wizarding world, and therefore, most of the time ended up marrying a wizard or a witch. They all welcomed Kate into the family, they even tried to get her to work at the Ministry with them but she had always envisioned her life in the muggle world. Matthew had rarely ever been amongst muggles and he was excited to discover that world with her, her world.
They soon had two kids, a suburban house close to Dublin, and two office jobs. The only time they really talked about magic with their kids was whenever Matt’s parents would visit. Flore grew up barely knowing she one day was gonna be a witch herself and she’s definitely not expecting to be a Seer. Kate however suspects that her daughter might have inherited that gene that she heard so much about.

Describe why this fits your character (not why you the player want it):
ReducioMany marvel at Kiana's mother, Ayaka Li, wherever she goes. Though the woman is aging and growing old, her beauty is unmistakable and turns heads everywhere - at the train station, a grocery store, or even in the middle of an obscure and dimly lit street - Ayaka never fails to impress. Many of her friends have commented on her goddess-like physique and praise her for it. During her early childhood, Ayaka was favored over her siblings for her looks.
"You will marry a fine man and enjoy a career of success," her parents often said.
So, it was no doubt that when Ayaka's first daughter, Kiana, was born, that everyone would look on with expectant eyes. They were all brimming with excitement to see how Kiana would grow into a beautiful woman like her mother.
She did not disappoint.
At the age of five her mother noticed those irresistible blue eyes that shone like diamonds and glittered like stars. Kiana could often get her way with that adorable look. Whenever she wanted another cookie after dinner, she'd plead the maids and stare straight into their souls with her big blue eyes and they would be sold. As she grew older, she became an envy to all the girls in her neighborhood. Her long, luscious, shining hair was always well cared for and tied neatly into a high ponytail. She had unique bangs that left a couple of stray hairs to flow freely, yet she pulled it off flawlessly. A jealous girl once tried the same look and ended up with a cut so hideous that the girl's mother took her to the barber to get half her hair lopped off. Kiana insisted that it didn't look right because they were doing it wrong. Yet, she refused to tell others her secret.
When others dye their hair, what's expected is an incongruous mix of natural hair colors and bright, eye-burning colors. That wasn't the case with Kiana - at the age of nine she insisted on getting her hair dyed. She was obsessed with fictional characters and their awesome, colorful hairdoes - she wanted that too. Her father refused, thinking that it would make his stunning daughter look like a misfit, but in the end, fell for her blue eyes and soft, pleading complexion. To his delight, Kiana's dye turned out just fine. It was a subtle shade of purple (not a bright shade, thankfully) and made her look even more like a young fairytale princess. It made her so stunningly beautiful - even more than before - that wherever she went there was always a pair of eyes on her. Whenever her father held lavish parties, she would always be the center of attention.
“What a fine young lass,” her father’s friends would comment.
“Such beautiful hair! And what stunning eyes,” the ladies would exclaim.
Kiana, on the other hand, was modest about her beauty. Whenever someone complimented or praised her she would simply smile and thank them, and move on.
Her beauty was a gift, blessing, and her greatest treasure.

Percival stared at the small paperweight that sat in front of him on an old oak table. The boy sat in a matching chair staring at it as if it had destroyed everything he held dear in his heart. Percival's wand was held out shaking as his hand grew tired from the repetitive movement. He had been here for a good while now. When his Uncle had told him he wanted him to improve his spellwork, he had thought his Uncle simply wanted to go over what he had learned for the year. Practice as much as possible before he came home for the summer. What he hadn't expected was for his Uncle to want him to learn something extremely difficult. Well....it was at least difficult him. It required a lot of focus, something he himself was not the best at. And by God was it boring. Staring at the same object that refused to move a millimeter. The boy looked about the empty classroom with a deep sigh. He had thought this would have been a good place to get some privacy. The last thing he needed was some Prefect to burst through the door to interrupt. How was he even supposed to explain this? "I can't do it! It's impossible." he said angrily gesturing angrily to the inanimate object. His irritation was palpable upon his tongue. Lighting that crackled dangerously in the air. Despite, his irritation at his failed attempts there would be no comforting words given to him. The silence that surrounded him felt stifling. Percival couldn't help the annoyance pooling in his gut as he turned away to look back at the offending object. Raising his now lowered arm the boy focused to the best of his abilities on the object. Repeating the encantation in his head repeatedly only resulted in more annoyance and embarrassment. "Why do I even need to learn this? I can speak a hundred times easier." he snipped. If he thought hard enough, he could envision his Uncle Terrence saying something in that droning voice of his. Something about how this was expected of every Rainwood to ever live, and he has to improve himself to even be a sliver of what they were supposed to be. Percival sighed out loud as he raised his arm once more. How badly he wanted to be free from this stupid room. Percival raised his arm repeating the encantation in his head as he waved his arm. His eyes widened quickly as the object rose a few feet in the air before clattering back down onto the table below.

While a wonderful story, magic cannot be done outside of Hogwarts for underage wizards and witches. Practice of magic must be during the school year and at Hogwarts as per wizarding law. You will need to rewrite your scenario to reflect this.

Eun-ji never intended to become a duellist. She always thought the sport to be fun and admired the other duellists but at the same time, she never aspired to become one herself. It was only after she was presented with an ultimatum from her grandmother that she did so. For once though, it turned out not to be a bad ultimatum as the Ravenclaw seemed to have a talent for this particular activity. She was winning all her duels and never been knocked out during one. Perhaps she had grown too comfortable over time so when her first loss came during the second match of her 4th year, it was a rough wake up call. Eun-ji always saw herself as a great support to her teammates. She preferred to fight with tactics over raw power and it worked out just fine for her until that point. That fated match however proved to be extremely difficult for her. In the past, she was usually paired up with teammates of similar age to her own but this time, she was paired up with a first year…
Cynthia was young and eager but she was not necessarily sturdy or confident. Suddenly, Eun-ji was the senior that was supposed to take charge and she quickly found out her current abilities simply weren’t sufficient. Trying to do enough damage to win while also doing her best to keep her young teammate in the game proved to be an impossible task. She walked down the piste without a single scratch herself but the whole fight was a helpless struggle. It quickly occurred to her that she could not always count on having a more aggressive and skilled companion for her matches. The Ravenclaw got spoiled by being paired up with Dealla and Dee for her first duels. Speaking of those two, the ability Eun-ji always found especially amazing was them hitting two targets at once. If she could do it as well, wouldn’t she have a chance to actually win that cursed duel? Despite her admiration, she didn’t feel like she really needed to learn that skill in the past but now she definitely did.
There was not much time to practice a new skill between her loss and the last match of the season so Eun-ji didn’t bother anybody and tried her best on her own. Unfortunately, practicing extra hard in her spare time was helpful but clearly not enough. Hence, once the last duel was over, she immediately approached Dee and Del to ask for help. Thankfully, both the former captain and the current Co-captain were willing to provide some guidance in the matter. (This godmod approved by both Delilah Stewart and Dealla Prince) It was not without considerable effort but Eun-ji was a quick learner and like many students of the Ravenclaw team even she eventually managed to succeed. Next time she would be put in the same position, she could face her opponents with her head held high.

ReducioMonica had fallen in love with the art of duelling. She had found a thrill, and a sport that made her feel like a real witch. Not one that was born of the muggle world, but a witch that was capable, and talented with Magic. She loved everything about duelling, and desired nothing more than to elevate her ability's more and more! Become the best Duellist out there! So after finally getting on the team for House Slytherin, Monica found a first Victory, and felt amazing with it, but then her next match went horrible. She clearly saw that there was more work to be done, if she truly wished to be great!
Since Monica was a young girl, she only ever known the taste of defeat. Having two older brothers always drove her to be the best. She rarely ever beat them at anything, and often times lacked the desire to continue to play games with them because she feared to loose. But one day, her older sister encouraged her, telling her that she was capable of beating them, if she put in the work. So for something as simple as basketball, Monica took several hours out of her week to work on the sport. Shooting hoops, and working on her ball control, and aim. Eventually she would challenge her brothers to a friendly competition, and to their surprise, Monica had creamed them on the court!
From that day on, Monica was sure that she could be the best of anything she put the work into!
So after such a rough game, she dove into her books. Reading far more than what was required by her professor in the Defense against dark arts class. She needed more than just the basics, she had to really push herself. Train harder, and learn more spells. Those around her might have noticed that since her second match, she had practically lived at the library. Seeking out any spear moment to chat with the Defense Against Dark Arts professor, as well as just talking about Duelling practically none stop.
Unfortunate for her, Duelling wasn't really content she could look up on youtube, but Monica found other ways to watch pros play, and would even show up to every unofficial duel held on campus, and every match that wasn't even hers. She would pick students to train with her, and barely did much of anything else. Some might call it obsessive, but to her it was just her passion! Her Desire to be the best she could be!
