THE PUPPET

full name : Nicole Alice Leone Aurore Jeanne-Marie Rose Sandrine Spinnet
nicknames : Nikki, Ferret-y Person, Nick.
date of birth : May 13th, 1960
house : Ravenclaw
age : Sixteen
year : Sixth
wand type : 8 1/2 inch Willow, Four strands of Unicorn Hair
blood line : Pureblood {Bleh}
pets : A small, Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl named chibi, found nesting in one of Nicole's not-so-main passages. Nicole was quite fascinated by its size, and marked the location on her mental map. Only a few minutes later did she realize that it was following her. She noticed that her natural fear of birds was not kicking in, so once Nicole got back to the Ravenclaw common room and was once more human, she tried sending a letter to herself. The owl stared at her steadily. And then Nicole fell in love.

Other than that, she also has two pet ferrets, Ying and Yang. Brown ferrets, both jills. Nicole found them, half-alive, on one of her ferret rescue members. Heartbroken, she tried everything to save them. And, for once in her life, the thing that Nicole tried actually worked. She meant to release them to the wild, but never really found the courage to get rid of them.

THE LOOKS

hair color : Dark brown
eye color : Generally purple with gold touched around the edges, but thanks to a certain potions-related accident, they tend to change colors at times.
height&weight : 5'4 and 111 pounds. She has a slender frame, but in a soft, almost unnoticeable way.
played by : Kate Elson
full appearance : Let's start at the top and work our way down, shall we? Nicole's hair is lush, full, and silky. Thank you, magic. She has chestnut brown, natural curls reaching just past her shoulders, it was much longer just a short while ago. However, one of her many potions related accidents caused it to half in length. It also caused her to magically appear in the Room of Requirement, but that's not part of her description. =)

Her eyes are wide and quite childish, but full, lush lashes make it look somewhat like an added effect by makeup. Except for one tiny thing. Nicole refuses to wear makeup. She has somewhat of an allergic reaction to it, refusing to touch anything more than lip gloss. Her face is in a typically normal shape, kind of heart shaped, but something else, too.

Her teeth are so white, it gleams in the sun. Once more. Thank you, magic. They seem to be straight enough, her adopted parents say that she need braces again. But then again, who was she to listen to her parents? Her neck is short but slender, making it look actually normal sized, although it is normally lost under her luscious hair.

Her shoulders were only slightly rounded, they extended into long, skinny arms. Her fingernails were practically bitten to the point of extinction. She is virtually flat-chested, not exactly caught up with most of the other girls in the school. Her stomach is small, maybe it because when she became a ferret, most of what she just ate was burned.

She has only slight curves, but curves none the less. However, with the traditional clothing that she wears, they are almost unnoticeable. her father bewitched all of her traditional clothing, her being from a traditional Japanese family and all, so that she is forced to wear them. They mostly cover her legs, which are quite shapeless and very pale. Her arms, when exposed, are somewhat tan. Her shoulders always seem to be sunburned, even in the middle of winter.

patronus : A silver ferret, considering that all patronuses are silver. The memory that helps her is when she first found her perfect wand at Ollivanders, the brilliance of the purple light that shot from it, and the spasmodic motions of the ferret that was just moments ago a chair.
dream job : Is a ferret farmer a job?
overall personality :
.Naive.Confused.Confident.Secretive.Lazy.Procrastinator.

Naive::. Nicole is naive. Must anything more be said? The hottest guy in school could walk up to her and make such a suggestive comment, that he might be mistaken for a pervert, and she wouldn't tell the difference. If somebody was threatening her, she would say hi to any other person exactly the same way. She tends to agree to things way too easily, her mind can be changed quite quickly. But also, she tends to not think things through.
Confused::. Nicole doesn't really know what's going on in the world. She generally doesn't understand all of this 'you-know-who' business. She doesn't understand any classes, she rarely even understands what she is learning. Most of the time she is incapable of doing her own homework, so she stays up until the very late hours of the night to go and steal Remus' homework.
Confident::. Nicole is not exactly confident, per say. But to almost everyone around her, it seems that way. She hands in her essay without even flinching, even though she probably failed. She'd walk up to the most random person and ask them something so blunt, it's funny. She, generally, doesn't exactly think about what she's doing.
Secretive::. Well, you'd be secretive too of you were a ferret. But she has a couple of other secrets that she keeps under lock and key. For example, she really wants 'Mister James' and Lily Evans to get together. She has never snogged anyone, and she fears whenever her birthday falls on a Friday. One thing that Nicole does that makes her look mysterious, the thing that she enjoys doing, is winking and smiling, then walking away slowly.
Lazy::. As always, the great Sorting Hat wasn't wrong when sorting her into Ravenclaw. She was indeed quite bright, and had great potential. Her professors also believed that, which caused for such disappointment when she gave little to no effort in class. She would rather lounge about, well, lazily than doing her homework or studying for a test. This has made her professors quite frustrated with her, also tending to be quite harsh with her, trying to discipline her into using her undiscovered ability.

THE BEGINNING

ethnicity : Japanese and French
hometown : Cambridge, England
mother and father : Jean-Paul Spinnet and Ayaka Shou.
brothers and sisters : Laurent Spinnet
other relatives : Genivive and Adam Viant.
overall history :

It all really began with Jean-Paul and Ayaka. They were both magical, wizard and witch. But, the thing is, neither one knew that the other was one. So when their first born child, Laurent, was found to be a wizard, he was left on the doorstep of a random house.

Take two. Seven years later. This is where our story truly begins. Nicole was also born a witch. The father was furious, the mother just broke down into tears, but eventually, Nicole Spinnet was left on the doorstep of the Vians, and was accepted into the household.

Until one day.

"Mummy, I wanna be a witch for Halloween!" Nicole exclaimed, bouncing up and down. She was three. Genivive looked down at her with tired, wary eyes.

"Of course, darling. But, can you perhaps begin to make the costume?"

"I'm waaaaayyy ahead of you, mummy!" Nicole exclaimed, unable to contain her excitement any longer. She pulled a stick from her back pocket, the one she had conveniently found on her way home from school. She waved it around in a large circle. "Abracadabra!"

A small spark of purple flew from the tip of the stick and landed on a plate. It slowly began to morph into a green turkey.

"Whoops..."

Laurent, who had been making himself a sandwich, paused at the sight of the turkey on the counter. He looked down somewhat guiltily to his sandwich, which consisted of turkey and cheese. But when he looked up again, a grin was spread across his face. "Cool..." he breathed, dropping his sandwich. The turkey began mooing.

~~~

That was the last decent day of Nicole's life. Laurent, now knowing that his sister had magical abilities, too, had taken a liking to hanging her by her ankle above the sink. Her parents too became aware of her magic, and her brothers, when he received the invitation to Hogwarts. With Laurent gone, her parents began considering what the magic could do for them...

See The Magical Freak Show.

Her own parents had sold her to the freak show business. She actually felt now that school was an escape from it all. So naturally, she could not wait for Hogwarts.

...How did she get to be in Ravenclaw again?

It was the third day, first year. A simple incineration potion, Slughorn said. Impossible for anybody to mess up. Nicole messed it up. It blew up in her face. In the back of the room, two of her classmates began laughing uncontrollably. And since then, her eyes changed color.

She walked up to them, wondering what was so funny. "Did I do something good?" she asked simply. The two, who she later found out to be James Potter and Sirius Black, just laughed again. And now, entering year six, she has unofficially been adopted as the Marauders' 'pet'.

In second year, she felt horribly and was completely disgusted in her care for magical creatures class. Hippogriffs. Eating ferrets. As snacks? Eating a ferret was like eating a human.

Over the years, Nicole became even closer to ferrets. Her patronus was a ferret. And in fourth year, after much work, she erfected her illegal animagus form of the ferret. She generally uses this form to her advantage by sneaking into the common rooms of different houses. This also allows her to steal Remus Lupin's homework when he's off doing whatever.

roleplay example : Beautiful was never the first word that came to mind when one looked at Andromeda Black. She was nice to look at, don't get me wrong, but she was plain. She was never like her blond little sister Narcissa, delicate and stunning, nor was she like Bellatrix, an intense type of beauty. She was what her mother always said, she was the sweet one, the merciful one, and then she'd scold her and tell her never to forget their blood line.

That she was tojour pur. She had been raised to believe it, to believe that if you weren't pure, you were scum. That following the Dark Lord was a good choice, and then her eyes had been opened. She had made so many mistakes in her life, one of them happened to be the one she was living now. She had been sleeping, letting herself dream sweet dreams and ignore reality.

She opened her chocolate-colored eyes slightly, blinked a couple of times and let them open completely. The girl's Ravenclaw dormitory was almost silent except for the light snoring from some of the girls. She pushed herself off her bed, wanting to move and not let her thoughts catch up with her. The Ravenclaw girl snatched a book her sister, Bellatrix had given her the year before. She quietly crept to the cerulean common room, which was vacant as she had anticipated. She walked to a chair near the fireplace that wasn't lit, and opened her book to the first page. It rambled on about the details, but her thoughts had cornered her. Andromeda's thoughts on Ted and Remus floated around in her brain freely, as if they thought they owned her brain. Andromeda knew that she had to choose between being the sweet girl she always was or the girl who would do anything for love.

She felt like the right thing was to be nice, but her heart kept telling her to choose love. She sighed, why couldn't she ever stop thinking? She got up and wandered to her dormitory and took off her pajamas and put on the first things she could find. The Ravenclaw put on a blue long-sleeved shirt, and blue-jeans. She sighed and looked at her bare feet, so she'd have to face reality, whether she liked it or not.
