Personality Traits:
- Eccentric:
This is one trait that both of the twins seem to share. It must have been something in the womb that affected both of the girls this way, but regardless, it did. Kallan often indulges in the oddities of life whether it is with her food (ketchup covered pickles?) or with her clothing (Barbies hanging off of her belt?). Kallan unabashedly flies her own freak flag regardless what others around her think.
Curious:
Kallan is constantly compelled to ask the question ‘why’. To her peers, and often her family as well, she was infuriating because of her constant strive to answer any question that pops into her mind. Kallan often finds herself in compromising position as a result of her curiosity. This curiosity has even led to two broken bones in her left arm, and a broken leg. Luckily she often has Maddie at her side to prevent to much bodily harm from being done.
Musically inclined:
From almost day one Kallan has had the gift of music. It’s always been in her blood, almost as imprinted in her being like it was a strand of her DNA. As a child Kallan couldn’t get enough music whether it is classical or Japanese pop. Kallan began playing the piano at the age of two, but that wasn’t the only instrument that she picked up. Oh no, in fact, Kallan can play most instruments in a traditional band. Kallan’s mom insists that Kay is a musical genius, and while she’s too modest to agree, but she is.
Observant:
Surprisingly, for as talkative as Kallan appears, she does a great deal of observing. Ever since she was a child she would take a few steps back from the crowd and observe what exactly was going on. This was her way of learning. She would observe what others around her were doing and then she’d mimic them flawlessly. This trait didn’t disappear as she grew older, but only intensified. Now that she’s older she doesn’t have to step back to observe, she can be in the centre of attention and still catch everything that goes on around her. This obsession with observing as proved to give Kay’s great sense of the human psyche and an understanding of body language.
Unprejudiced: Kallan does not discriminate. She does not see in cliques that seem to dominate the school. She moves outside of them, and is friends with everyone, and tries to make everyone feel accommodated and wanted. Kay will talk to a nobody the exact same way that she’ll speak to a majestic. She reserves no special treatment for those who are supposedly in a higher class that her.
If Kay had to be confined to one stereotype it would be ‘hippie’. It’s true; Kallan fits the bill quite perfectly. While she doesn’t do drugs, she as an intense love of 60s music and is quite pro-animal rights. In fact, Kallan hasn’t eaten meat since she was in fifth grade when she finally decided to give up a habit that she found disgusting. Along with that, Kallan is quite spacey all of the time. At any moment in time she could be string into another world, thinking of another time; another place.
Kallan is not as confident as her sister is. She can fake her confidence, but truthfully the words that people say about her affect her more than any of her family could understand. Without her sister, and her father, Kallan honestly believed that she would have ended up a spineless sop. Honestly, it was her sister’s intense confidence that rubbed off of her.

Appearance:
Maddie and Kallan are identical twins. So everything about them is the same. Both Maddie and Kallan had very striking features; they are not conventional beauties by any means though. Some people, like her father’s friends think they would be a dream to photograph because of their long platinum blond hair, alabaster skin, and wide upturned green eyes; “Their angelic, euphoric, innocent look couldn’t even begin to be captured by any film” a friend of their father once remarked. However, most kids their own age must disagree with this assessment. There is a weird beauty to the twins that not everyone understands. With their long hair, and their pale skin (tan is all the rage) people don’t understand.
The twins dress differently, however, albeit, not by much. They have naturally curly hair, but Kallan often leaves her unbrushed and in a wild mane; for no reason other than the fact that it’s a completely hassle to actually brush. She’ll also wear it in two long braided pigtails when she plays soccer in order to keep it out of her face. Kallan often wears baggier clothing in order to hide her shape. It’s not a conscious choice, but because she is uncomfortable with her own body, she often hides it behind layers of brightly coloured clothing.

History:
April 9th 1992 was the day that Kallan Victoria Black was brought into the world; a world of bright new interesting things and from a world which she shared with her only or so she thought) sister and squishy liquid; a world that would one day house her greatest fears and greatest loves side by side. With a giggle and a small push from her mother Elle, Kallan entered into the world ten minutes after her sister only to let out a wailing cry that would not end for hours. To be honest, Kallan couldn’t be sure this was how it happened, seeing as her memory didn’t really start to kick in until she was two, but she imagined it would have gone something like this. She expected her baby self to be so overwhelmed by the brightness and newness of this new world, that she would have no option but to cry.
As to be expected Maddie and Kay were inseparable as children. The twins would often walk around the house holding hands as if they needed the comfort of one another’s touch to consol their usually restless minds. From birth Kallan was definitely the quieter of the two, she would much rather let her sister do the blunt of the talking while she observed the reactions of those people around her. When Kallan wasn’t around her twin, she would explore to her hearts content which would more often than not end up with Kallan up in a tree, or with some sort of aliment.
Along with her infinite curiosity, Kallan was gifted in music. By the time Kay turned three she could play some of the greatest masterpieces on the grand piano that her parents hand in the living room. Kallan didn’t learn via an instructor either, no, she was one day tattered over to the piano and hit down on some keys. It was from that instant that Kallan became obsessed. As Kallan got older her interest only increased, and the piano wasn’t the only instrument that Kallan found she had talent for-it remained her area of expertise- but Kallan steadily spent her timing learning to play new instruments.
When Kallan entered school she too, like her twin Maddie, was labelled as a weirdo-a freak. Having famous parents was difficult because you couldn’t quite be sure with who to trust with your friendship and secrets, but on top of that, Kallan’s peculiar sense of fashion only got curious stares. Speaking of curiosity, Kallan’s curiosity only landed her in the principal’s office more often than not. Needing to see things for her self, Kallan became the girl that would question everything that the teacher said which was more than annoying to some. Now, her habit of questioning has lessened, but when she first entered school.
Usually the twins did everything as a unit; everything together. However, when Maddie got her powers of ‘air bending’ and Kallan did not there was some serious speculation as to whether or not Kallan would even have powers. Kallan, not as confident as her twin, started to worry that she had been blessed with a music talent but not a “special one”. “Music [i]is your special power” her mother would say in order to comfort her youngest daughter, but Kallan could tell she was worried as well.
It wasn’t until she was thirteen, a few years after her twin had received her powers, that Kallan finally gotten the first sign of hers. Kallan’s powers didn’t come about as…untamed…as her sisters. In fact, it happened one night at dinner. Kallan wanted more mashed potatoes, but Alice was recounting some story from school. Not wanting to disrupt her story at its seeming climax, Kallan tried to will the metal serving dish and spoon over to her. Surprising, it floated and came over to her. At first Kay believed she was seeing things, but the silverware around her clashed to its place as her sibling and parents dropped them, and when she lost her concentration on the serving dish, it crashed to the table; and that was it.
Needless to say, Kallan started to attend Aura Academy with her sister. They were the last of the Black family to enter the school, and certain things were expected of them. While the girls clearly fell into the “unique” category at school, they was some pressure from the majestics to be more like Alice, opposed to her brother. All throughout her school career Kallan was heavier than Maddie, which weighed down on her. It wasn’t because Kallan was lazy, because she was an avid soccer player, but she naturally seemed to put on more pounds. Well, upon entering Highschool she was watched very closely and even teased because of her weight by people she didn’t even know. As a result, Kallan starting eating less during meals, and watching her calories. She wasn’t as confident as her sister and the glances and words her more than she let on. As the pounds shed, the compliments came. Which only lead to an increase in her obsession with being thin. Now Kallan is faced with finishing school, controlling her powers, and hiding her problems.

| QUOTE |
| Quinn Donoghue slipped on a new Slytherin green sweater Maeve had sent in the post that morning. It was by far one of the softest, and best, things Maeve had ever knit him. It was so soft that Quinn could wear it next to skin if he pleased. Maeve had bought it from this nut old woman who lived next to them. She would hand spin with yarn and would store it with lavender, and sweet orange oils and the yarn would pick up the faint smell of the two oils. It was terribly expensive, but well worth it. Usually, Quinn would only receive a few of these sweaters/scarves/hats a year, however, this year Maeve seemed to be outdoing her self. She had already sent him a berry coloured hat and a berry coloured scarf a few weeks early. Along with putting on his green sweater, over a tie dye tee-shirt, Quinn pulled on his berry hat, not because it was particularly cold out (even though it was a startling 40 degrees, when the normal low was at least 50 in Scotland), but just people he wanted to ear his fun berry hat. Quinn also put of a pair of flannel pants (he had been walking around the dorm in boxers, no one was there any way), he had decided, on a moments moment, to go and visit Hagrid. He needed to speak to the giant about Cian’s current living arrangement anyway. The Irishman had had the Dementor dream again and had once again, not been able to fall back to sleep. He had wanted to write Maeve or Brodie about it earlier, but hadn’t found the time or energy to draw up a letter to either one of his parents. He knew what would result; he’d end up getting some speech about how he needed to embrace the dream and dive into some Divination texts books and find out what it was all about. But he didn’t want to. At all. He didn’t want to open his mind to the possibilities of what his dream could mean. So instead, he shoved it to the back of his mind, stuffed his feet into his Birks, and started to head out of the castle, a bag with a gigantic blanket, scarf and hat all stuffed inside. It was for Hagrid. Quinn had a habit of developing relationships with the staff more than the students. He didn’t know why, but he related more to the odd balls. “At first flash of Eden, we race down to the sea standing there on freedoms shore, waiting for the sun, waiting for the sun, waiting for the sun. Can you feel it now that spring has come, and its time to live in the scattered sun?” He sung quietly to himself as he made his way down to the small cottage, and also pulled his berry beanie down farther around his head. It was rather nippy out. Waiting for the sun is right. He thought absently looking at the restless forest that lay before him. It wasn’t entirely uncommon from Quinn to sneak out into the forest to smoke, there were a few patches of dragonweed in there, but tonight nothing could force the boy in there. Perhaps it was just his mind playing tricks on him, but even the trees seemed to shift uncomfortably in the stiff breeze. Something wasn’t right, and the closer to the cottage, and in turn the forest, the more he wanted to turn around, but didn’t for almost fear of turning his back on the forest. Quinn banged heatedly on Hagrid’s door, far too uncomfortable with the shifting shadows the forest was casting. It was a rare occasion when Quinn would work him self up to the point of fear, but something in his stomach told him to be weary of the forest, and Quinn’s hunches had a peculiar way of being correct. Finally, after what seemed like to be several hours, the door was pulled back, and he was greeted by a large, quite worried, Hagrid. “I’ve brought you your blanket and hat and scar—Adel?” |
