Graci Laren | Second Year | Gryffindor
Unfortunately, the coding got messed up with Zach's updates, which I'm grateful for, but it still makes a lot of the information a hastle to read. This is all the necessary info.
BACKSTORY. Graci Laren was born on March fifteenth of 2013 to Aiden and Penelope Laren alongside her twin sister, Zoe Laren. She grew up in London, England, living above the bookstore her parents owned. Over the summers, the family visited Penelope's side of the family on the island of Spetses, Greece. Graci fondly remembers the time she spent there, with plenty of seashell fragments to commemorate her time. Occasionally Graci visited the paternal side of her family on holidays, though she doesn't remember much except their large Bernese mountain dog, Argus. She lived a comfortable childhood above the bookstore, with a family full of readers. Though Graci was the one who didn't like it as much as the rest of them. She enjoyed it, but not quite so ardently. Her twin sister, Zoe, usually got the both of them in trouble at school. Chaotic and fiery while Graci tried to make herself smaller. Not because her personality was smaller, but because there was a lot to handle with Zoe, and she didn't want to be a bother.
She had two best friends, Makayli and Lindin, who were some of her favourite people. While Zoe didn't like them too much {she said they didn't appreciate reading enough} Graci thought they were amazing. Lindin quiet and thoughtful, Makayli with enough Street smarts to become anyone she wanted to be. With people skills Graci envied. Now Graci doesn't see any of her old people much at all. Between the school year at Hogwarts and Summer camp, she only got one week in Greece. The only good thing was getting to spend time with her friends over the three-ish weeks she had free in the summer. Graci, Zoe, and their mother had always been people of hyper fixations. One week it was Greek Mythology, the next it was fantasy map making with rice. Most of her younger years were filled with trying to keep up with what the current one was. She and Zoe attended the same muggle school as Makayli and Lindin {hence their friendship}, because their parents figured they'd have plenty of time in the wizard world once they were eleven, and they had always been for getting new views of the world instilled into their children.
FIOM. At the tender age of six, Graci has her first instance of accidental magic. Her favourite cat {Terpsichore} was still a kitten at the time, and had gotten herself into the old predicament of getting stuck in a tree. Distressed, Graci had tried to shake her down, as any small child without the capacity to think in a moment such as this would. As such, she accidentally levitated Terpsichore out of the tree. Certainly a thing of relief for her parents, as children are often quite stupid, and she could have gotten herself hurt.
PERSONALITY. Graci is a rather bright person, usually smiling or laughing, oftentimes ready to talk about whatever. While very outgoing she still needs time to recharge alone, usually by listening to music or daydreaming about something totally random. She tries to beat the impulsive Gryffindor allegations, but that hat was too smart for its own good. She is impulsive, though more carefree than internationally putting herself in danger. She likes being in nature. There isn't a lot in East London {The part where she grew up in, at least} but there is a lot on the Greek island of Spetses where she spent her summers. She's trying to be more carefree, but she still has some anxiety, but she's really vulnerable once you get to really know her. She has a lot of secret shames. {The anxiety will be a future plotline, most likely<3}. Graci is the lovable side character / lover, who thinks she's the main character, but really isn't. She tries to find beauty in everything and is kinda like the mom friend with a penchant for sad tales, though she would deny it. Helping others gives her a sense of purpose, and she's extremely empathetic and comforting. Despite all that, Graci is also extremely judgemental and bases the people she meets off of first impressions. If she meets someone who seems even slightly rude, there is scant hope of having a positive relationship. Petty to a fault, but merely sees herself as loyal and with a knowledge of who is worth her time. Often late to things, but trying to be better and more conscious of when she needs to be somewhere. Classes, especially. Slightly awkward when she doesn't understand her place in the self-imposed hierarchy of a situation. Prone to walking up to people and starting to talk if she thinks they're familiar. Most times they aren't.
APPEARANCE. Graci is 160cm {5’3}, with medium-long wavy brown hair, that is starting to look more Auburn as she ages. She has curtain bangs {also referred to as fringe} as well as two streaks of white on the pieces of hair that frame her face. She has brown-green eyes that she usually just calls hazel as no one takes the time to hear her whole speech about it. She's mostly average by way of anything other than personality. While she is not vain she does try to make herself presentable at the very least, even when she has no where to go/no outings planned. She has a strange fascination with ear piercings and had three by the time she was eleven. Two on the lobe and one helix piercing.
