Elm Walker, First Year Hufflepuff
Physical Description: Elm Walker has what one may call either ginger, orange or red curly hair. It is usually a mess due to his frolicsome and endless source of energy. His eyes are a shade of chestnut brown and he has tan skin from being out of doors most of the day. His height is 5'2 and he is tall, considering his age. He has a thin build and is very dexterous, fast, although quite clumsy at times.
Mental: Elm's personality is rather a strange one. He is of a very curious nature, awkward at times, easily distracted, cheerful, energetic, adventurous, and quite zealous in his passions. He appears nonchalant sometimes, but usually when he acts this way, it is when he is trying to hide something he cares about. Elm first discovered muggle objects when his parents took him to town one afternoon. Staring at the display window for some flying magical shoes he wanted badly, he saw a stray cat pass through. He followed the cat through corner after corner till suddenly, he found something on the ground. It seems someone had dropped some strange contraption, a toy nerf gun. It had something jammed inside it; hence, the reason for abandonment, so he fixed it. When showing it to Maple, his older brother loudly ejaculated in surprise, "Why that's a muggle object. What's it doing here?" And it was promptly thrown out. Despite this occurrence, Elm still loves muggle objects and often sneaks out of his forest home to search for more collectables. He keeps his small collection tucked safely away in an empty vent in his home, away from his teasing older brother, Maple. He finds them utterly fascinating and the contraptions useful if properly used.
Family Life/Biography: Prior to being sent his invitation to Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Elm lived with his mother, Cherry Walker, father, Edmund Walker, and older 15 yr old brother, Maple Walker. Both parents went to Hogwarts as Ravenclaws. His brother, Maple, is currently going to Hogwarts as a 5th year. Elm has a respectful relationship with his father, who has been a mentor for him, his entire short life; however, he is at odds with his mother, mainly because Maple is her favorite of the two. Elm still loves his mother greatly despite this, often seeking her motherly attention and care. Maple and Elm have a love-hate relationship. At times, Elm can be annoyed by his teasing brother but overall, the two do enjoy each others company and Elm can usually get Maple to keep and share secrets with him (after a lot of begging!) Elm lived with his family in a small cottage near a forest preservation; thus, encouraging Elm's fondness of trees and forest life. Elm has his own tree that he has grown from a seedling, an Elm tree after his own name. He loves the thing to death and will tell anyone he meets about his "baby plantling." He loves botany and can't wait to take herbology class at Hogwarts.
First Magic Instance: Elm's first instance of accidental wandless magic took place when he was 9. He had been checking on his baby tree and decided that he would hook a tire wheel onto a nearby tree. He planned on using it for a fun hangout spot for him and his friends. As he climbed the tree to attach the rope on a branch, the branch cracked and he shut his eyes, waiting for the inevitable fall. Oddly enough, the branch quickly repaired itself under his hand and he was able to stay steady. After this, he scurried away to tell his brother, Maple, who instantly told their parents.
