THE BASICS

Character's Name: Willow Wick

Birth Date: August 31st

Age: 17 years old

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Home Town: Galway, Ireland





THE MAGICAL

Blood Status: MuggleBorn

House: Hufflepuff

Year: 7th

Wand: Applewood, 11 inches, Unicorn Hair core, Swishy.

Patronus: Swarm of Fireflies

Boggart: Willow Wick has a unique relationship to the fearsome Boggart and while she has had more experience than most, they scare her nonetheless. Whether it is her personal Boggart, Booger or any run of the mill incarnation that she may run into in a DATDA class, a Boggart will always take on the form of a particularly aggressive Dementor. Not only does this Dementor bring with it instant fear and hopelessness, it also attempts to strangle her.

Special Possessions: Willow has a couple of things that she considers special or important to her. One is her wand of course. Secondly, there is a claw-footed copper cauldron that she bought for herself her second year at Hogwarts. This cauldron has inspired her and helped her to brew some incredibly impressive potions. It's not the best on the market but she considered it lucky.

Something which is an ever constant in her life but that she does not consider special is her own personal Boggart, Booger. How Booger found her, Willow isn't sure but what she does know is that no matter how many time she repels the beast, it continually comes back. Hiding in her trunk, her shoe or at the bottom of a box of cereal, Booger has been haunting Willow for over six years now and while the name she gave him may be cute, the constant fear he brings with the form he assumes, is far from it. Willow is terrified of Bogger and she is desperate to be free of him.

Special Skills: Willow has shown particular skill for mixing potions. In fact, it has been said that for a Muggle-Born, she is highly skilled. Willow is flattered, while equally offended, that her natural talents had to be confined by her Blood Status but she got over it. Willow has always strived to prove herself and she has done just that. During her 4th Year, Willow made a name for herself by mixing and selling potions to Students.

It's a business that has flourished since then and she continues to this day. Willow calls her business 'Light The Wick' and while she specializes in magical cosmetics, she will sell you a love potion or a little vial of Wideye if you need to pull an all-nighter for your O.W.L's. If you need a potion, she'd your girl. She has dabbled in some of the more riskier potions, though the more dangerous for her, the more you'll have to pay.

On the more Muggle side of life, Willow has shown exceptional skill and a natural talent for both sleight of hand and the art of illusion. Having grown up surrounded by Magic, albeit Muggle Magic, Willow can shuffle a deck of cards like nobodies business. While her Father has always been great at the big illusions, Willow has a penchant for the little things. Her fingers are delicate, quick and always manicured. She enjoys showing off her skills at School, even if the Hogwarts crowd can't always appreciate the art.

Pet/Familiar: Willow owns a silver ferret named Fizz. When Fizz was younger he tumbled into one of Willow's potions and has never been the same since. While the green tint to his fur has worn off, her little Familiar continues to hiccup bubbles but otherwise, he's fine, honest!





THE PHYSICAL

Hair: Long, before Magic, Willow had been dying her hair a dizzying array of colours. Upon learning the Colovaria Charm however, this obsession became a great deal easier. Willow has cycled through just about every hair trend out there, both Muggle and Magical. She's been known to change the colour of her hair on little more than a whim. Currently, her long hair is parted down the centre and dyed two pastel tones. On one side, her hair is a soft Periwinkle. On the other, a pale Mauve.

Eyes: Large, crystal blue eyes framed by thick black lashes.

Height: 5'4

Physical Description: Willow stands at 5'4 which could be said to be rather short and technically it is but for Willow, somehow it works. There is so much life and spark in the young woman that her height or lack thereof never seems to keep her down. She has a theory, that 'small dog syndrome', where tiny dogs have loud barks and obnoxious personalities, extends to humans as well. Not that she would say that she was obnoxious but she has found that the shorter she feels, the bigger she acts.

Willow was born with her Mothers fair skin and golden hair. In fact, she has her Mothers crystal blue eyes too which begs the questions, what if any attributes did she take from her Father? Well physically not a lot but that doesn't mean she isn't still very much a Daddies Girl. Side by side with a photographer of her Mother at 18, even Grandma would have a hard time telling the difference. Katie Wick was and still is a great beauty. She has a light that shines from within when she smiles and she passed this light onto her Daughter.

Her fashion sense is quirky but cute. A friend once described Willow as 'made from cotton candy and shadows.' It's a fair enough description. Willow loves everything kitsch and girly. She loves Periwinkle, lace and high heel shoes but none of the things that she loves are ever worn in a predictable fashion. Willow is a little bit sexy and a little bit princess. She can squeeze her curves into a mini little shift dress or don a pair of denim flairs but mostly she loves the handmade hippie style of her idol Stevie Nicks. Willow seems to favour long prairie style lace dresses, vintage 20's jewellery and wildflower crowns.

Distinguishing Features:



THE EMOTIONAL

Personality: Willow is a special little creature. Born into a household full of talent and big personalities she has always been encouraged to be unapologetically herself. Upon discovering that she was a witch Willow was mildly sceptically but secretly out of her tiny little mind with excitement. She is the kind of woman that embraces life. She loves deeply and any friend she makes is a friend for life. People can often find her hard to deal with or take seriously at times but Willow is just as committed to her dreams and her goals as anyone else.

It should be noted that Willow is not just one shade of pastel. She has her darker moments, her melancholy days. When she first arrived at Hogwarts she discovered that discrimination was not something that was restricted to the Muggle World. Though she did not realise it before her arrival, the fact that she was born from non-magical parents meant that she was not worthy of practising magic in some people's eyes. It took her a while to get it. To understand why people hated her.

At first, she was just shocked. Of course, she had been bullied before but this was different. She was being picked on, discriminated against because of something she couldn't change. Something that she was actually rather proud of. For a while, the abuse got to her and Willow became sullen and withdrawn but she found her supporters, her cheer squad and though they didn't block the Muggle Haters and the venomous use of the MB word, they made them easier to ignore.

Of course that's the dark side to her story and Willow has never liked to wallow in the darkness for too long. Ignoring the bullies, Willow was in a world that was fascinating and incredible! She had slipped through the looking glass, fallen through the mirror and stepped through the wardrobe. For a Muggle girl, Hogwarts was mesmerising and not everyone believed as some did, that she didn't belong there.

Willow has made friends that she keeps to this day. With them she can be cheeky and boisterous. She is sarcastic, fun loving and more than willing to join in on the mischief. Willow opens up to her friends. They see her for who she really is because she trusts them enough to let down her walls. Willow does have walls. She is cautious who she lets into her inner circle and her trust and love is hard won but once won, it's for life.





Positive - Willow seems to always be sporting a smile. She wears it like an accessory and it seems to be as much apart of her physical aesthetic as her gorgeous eyes or pastel hair. Willow hasn't found many reasons to be sad in life. She isn't blind to the world or the troubles that happen around her. She is sympathetic to other people's problems and she will help wherever she can. It takes a lot to get her down. She isn't sickeningly sweet or happy to the point of creeping people out. Willow just loves her life and why shouldn't she? She has a killer family, amazing friends, her boyfriend is damn fine and sweet as can be and she's got fricken magical powers! There is always a reason to look on the bright side.

Stupefied - Willow is bad in a crisis. It can't be helped. She can overcome a thousand little things. She will help you find answers, she can make decisions. She sees a problem and she will actively work to fix it but when something bad happens, something truly earth shattering, Willow freezes. She has a fear that in making choices, in taking the lead she might lead herself or others into a worse situation than the one they were just in. The dark and the death of life can overwhelmed her at times. She will eventually blink, breath, move, act but she will need a little help and encouragement or if worse comes to worse, a slap.

Reckless - Okay, so she doesn't always think things through. Willow has been known to take risks from time to time. She doesn't always follow the rules. Her business 'Abracapothecary' can't exactly be called legit. Willow has been known to sell potions that may be considered a little taboo and she has helped the odd mate cheat on an exam. Of course if she gets caught she knows there will be consequences but at the time, she doesn't think about them. If she wants to do something, go somewhere, say something, eat something, kiss someone or hand raise a Blast-Ended Skrewt, she probably will.

Romantic - Willow Wick is a true romantic. She loves love. Stars are magical, sunsets are art and kisses in the rain make her toes curl. Willow idolises her Parents marriage. She has seen from birth how very much in love they are and she wants that. She wants her own fairytale ending. Now that's not to say that she is ready for marriage. She's not even 18 yet for heavens sake! She simply knows that falling in love, getting married, starting a family are things that she wants down the line. Despite having her head in the cloud though Willow knows that it won't be easy. Not even her Parents have gotten through their lives together unscathed but nothing, whether it's love or art or magic, nothing worth having comes easily but it's always worth fighting for.

Quirky - Willow is unique. She always has been and while being a little different growing up in a small town may have initially made Willow shrink and wish to conform, she now understands the gift that being quirky and different is. Willow is her own person. Now that's not to say that she is always confident. She is still a teenager after all. She has her days where she shuts down and wishes that she was different but in the end she always seems to fall back to the understanding that yeah, she's all messed up and slightly twisted but who says she's sick and just not gifted? Willow likes that's she a weirdo.

Fussy - Willow has a mild, non diagnosed, really just annoying case of OCD. She's fussy. When it comes to the little things she needs them like she likes them. She's particular about her appearance and will redo her make-up several times over if she doesn't feel it's right. It's not vanity, she's just particular. Even on the days when she ventures out au natural, she has a particular way in which she gets ready. It's routine. She likes things neat. She's been known to stand in Honeydukes and rotate the stock so that all the labels are facing the same way. Willow fussiness bleeds a little into all aspects of her life but mostly people just roll their eyes at her. It just who she is. She knows what she likes and how she likes it and why she won't throw a tantrum if something unbalances her particular little life, she will get a little fidgety and anxious. It's just who she is.

Intelligent - It has to be said that Willow is a natural when it comes to potions. Her ability to comprehend, understand and interpret is surely a sign of intelligence. Her ability to create, innovate and replicate is a sign of a very clever girl. Willow hasn't only shown intelligence when it comes to potions though. In her muggle studies she was a fairly talented writer and she still uses this skill. She loves to read and to write. UnWillowamedly she is a keen knitter and she can speak French with semi fluency. These could be considered hobbies however. What makes Willow intelligent is her willingness to learn. She is a bright girl who sees the world she lives in and engages with it. In the end she will succeed in life because she takes the risks. She is willing to try and to fail and when it all comes down to it, Willow Wick is going to love harder than any pain she has ever felt.





THE BIOGRAPHICAL

History: It's a love story, a tale as old as time, happily ever after and all that jazz. William Wick was discovered when he was 17. For years he had been performing his magic tricks on YouTube and flooding Vine with videos of his illusions. He had amassed a following of thousands including one young lady who would plaster her bedroom walls with printed out photos of her favourite Magician. Will was hot and incredibly talented. None of this David Copperfield shit or that wannabe Chris Angel. Will Wick was the real deal and Katie Loman was in love. It wouldn't be until the pair were both into their early 20's that they would actually meet in person. William Wick had broken into stage magic and he was making his rounds on the major talk shows and headlining at festivals. Katie was the gorgeous blonde standing in the front row with the hand made sign and feathers in her hair. It was love at first sight.

Within a year they were married and shortly after they were expecting. They wasted no time in setting up their family. A little house was purchased in Las Vegas that would over time be renovated, restored and made their own. Will had been scheduled to perform a series of shows on the famous Strip. He would play to thousands and Katie would be his Assistant. It has always been her dream and to be partners with her parter was more than she ever could have hoped for. Their talent was indisputable, their style, completely unique. The chemistry between the pair wasn't faked or exaggerated with slutty costumes and grangerises gyrations. They were in love and the whole world could see it. Magic and love walked hand in hand. It was a perfect mix.

Willow was born on the 31st of August and instantly she became the apple of her Fathers eye. The Wick's balanced work and family as best they could. Some nights they would sit together as a family at the dinner table and talk about their day while other nights Willow would sit on the edge of the stage, legs dangling gleefully as she watched her parents rehearsal. Her colouring books, crackers and juice box held no wonder in comparison to the world of magic that she was emerged in.

William Wick took great pride in teaching his Daughter his trade. Whether she chose to become a magician herself or a butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker, it didn't bother her Parents. Willow was raised to be what she wanted to be, follow her heart and smile alway if for no other reason than that it confused people.

At 4 Willow could pull a rabbit from a hat. At 8 she had developed her slight of hand and was growing skilled at card tricks. These were not her only skills though they did make her rather popular at parties. Willow discovered at a young age that she was light on her feet like her Mother. While her Father taught her magic, her Mother taught her dance. Willow had a great childhood. She lived in a vibrant, lively city.
