PERSONAL.
Appearance: Katie has medium length brown hair, hazel eyes and a very open, expressive face. She stands at 5’ 5”, doesn’t have freckles but does have the occasional pimple, very seldom wears skirts or shirts that show off her abdomen.

She usually walks with her head held high, very comfortable in her own body and doesn’t actually dislike any part of it - she doesn’t want to lose weight, dye her hair, get a nose job or have bigger boobs, and her demeanor reflects that confidence. For all that, however, she does look over her shoulder often, making sure no one is following her. But that has nothing to do with a lack of confidence.

Katie values practicality over appearance any day but usually looks cute regardless of twigs in her hair, hurried ponytails, smudges of dirt or ripped clothes though she is never aware of it. One’s first impression of Katie is generally that she’s happy. Unless you find her when she’s pissed off - then she just appears pissed off.

Katie owns exactly one necklace - that she has owned since she was a very small child, and refuses to wear any other kind of jewelry; she’s terrified of it. More than that, though, after so long surrounded by boys and jock-type girls during school, Katie has lost sight of herself as a woman.

Strengths:
Opinionated - Katie will have an opinion about pretty much everything ever, and will seldom just back down without arguing her point, no matter what it is.
Ambitious - she just bought a store, for crying out loud! She knew what she wanted, she knew how to get it and she got it.
Confident - doesn’t much care what people think of her, and so has no reason to be nervous about that kind of thing. She has better things to do with her time.
Brave - Katie will do anything for her friends and to keep people safe. If that puts her life on the line, so be it. It keeps being put on said line regardless of what she does - being placed under the Imperius Curse and severely wounded by a necklace will give one that kind of outlook on life.

Weaknesses:
Stubborn - If Katie is opinionated, she is also stubborn. Once she has set her mind to a task, she will see it completed, be it winning an argument on reaching her ambitions.
Reckless - like many other Gryffindors, Katie has a hard time thinking things through before she acts. She’s not particularly good at offensive magic and only succeeds with defensive magic about half the time. As such, it’s generally stupid for her to act in emergency situations regardless.
Defense Against the Dark Arts - she sucks at it.
Jewelry - she’s terrified of it for obvious reasons and will let things drop if someone surprises her by handing her something shiny when she doesn’t expect it.
Biased - she has her point of view and will not change it unless it suits her. Therefore, she expects the worst from certain people until they prove themselves to her.

Personality in 5 words:Reckless, ambitious, confident, flirty friend.
Likes: Quidditch, flying, her friends, a good laugh, strawberries, bright colours, her parents, nature.
Dislikes:Jewelry, when people don’t look at her face when they talk to her, people who try to tell her what to do, classical music, people reading over her shoulder, feeling excluded.
Hobbies: Quidditch (playing it, reading about it, studying it), reading, flying, spending time with her friends, designing brooms - mostly for fun for the moment, running.
Achievements:5 OWLs, 4 NEWTs, owns her own shop in Diagon Alley.
Today is where your book begins
FAMILY.
Mother: Alice Bell (née Callaghan). Witch. A nice, warm woman who always welcomes Katie (and her friends) home with open arms and a smile. Alice always supported her daughter, no matter her ambitions - she and Simon even helped her pay for the Quidditch shop with a significant loan. Like any mother, Alice worries a great deal over Katie’s well being; which after everything that happened during Hogwarts, is quite understandable. At least she thinks so. Alice tries very hard not to be too stifling and to let her daughter grow into her own person. Katie loves her mum and calls her every day.
Father: Simon Bell. Muggle. Works for a local newspaper as copyeditor. He, like Alice, is quite protective of Katie, all the while being supportive of her ambitions. Always smells of peppermint and pipe tobacco.
Siblings: 1 sister, Melanie, born in 1986.
Significant Other: None, currently
Children: None!!
Distant Relatives: Roger Davies is her cousin - their mothers are sisters.
The rest is still unwritten.
HISTORY.
Childhood:
Katie grew up in her parents’ very warm, bright home, the apple of their eyes. When she wanted something, she usually got it, though her parents made her work to achieve her goals, teaching her from a very young age that nothing ever comes for free but that everything was possible with a lot of perseverance. Simon, Katie’s father, feared they day when she would come into her magic - and hoped she never did - convinced that he would make an inadequate father for a witch and be unable to care for her appropriately. Of course he soon discovered he was wrong and encouraged her to reach her pull potential, thus teaching her that if someone does have a problem with her, they’ll come around sooner or later.

School Years:
Once at Hogwarts, Katie was sorted into Gryffindor house and soon became fast friends with Leanne, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, Lee Jordan and the Weasley twins who were all in their second year at the time. Katie found she enjoyed transfiguration and charms but that she was, quite frankly, balls at Defense Against the Dark Arts. Such things, her mother owled her, were normal - one couldn’t be good at everything - and though Katie resented it a great deal, she eventually came to accept that she could never work in law enforcement. Still, Katie persevered, working very hard on her studies to at least grasp the basics; she refused to be beaten.

In her second year, Katie joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team as Chaser, and fell in love with the game. Along with Alicia, Angelina and the Weasleys, they wreaked havoc on opposing teams and had more fun than Katie could ever remember having. Soon, Quidditch became top priority over her school work which began to suffer until her mother found out about it and threatened to owl professor Dumbledore and have her pulled from the team. Katie wouldn’t hear of it and begrudgingly scaled back. Playing for Gryffindor was a dangerous idea, however, as the Slytherins tended to toe the line where the rules were concerned. Katie had a few accidents during Quidditch match, including Montague grabbing her head instead of the Quaffle in her fourth year and problems involving Ron Weasley and later the wrong end of a Nosebleed Nougat in her sixth year.

And then, in her seventh year at Hogwarts, on her way back from a trip to Hogsmeade, Katie was placed under the Imperius Curse by Madam Rosmerta to bring a necklace to someone at the school. During an argument with Leanne, the bag containing the necklace broke. On instinct, Katie caught it, and was instantly levitated as she writhed in pain before collapsing to the ground and being sent to St Mungo’s. As a result of this event, Katie is terrified of jewelry, and suffers from sudden bouts of vertigo and occasional debilitating headaches.

Despite her very eventful time at Hogwarts and her very frequent trips to hospital, Katie graduated with four OWLs. She also has more friends than she cares to count.

Adulthood:
After graduating from Hogwarts, Katie spent a few months looking for meaningful work while living under her parents’ roof. She eventually found work at Quality Quidditch Supplies in Diagon Alley. Soon thereafter, Katie decided to move out on her own, much to her mother’s regret. She loved her work at the shop and though she knew her parents would have preferred she worked at the Ministry or as a Healer, Katie knew QQS was where she wanted to be.

A year later, Katie had decided that she would one day own the shop. The owner, Mr Piper, knew the business but hardly enjoyed any aspect of it. Katie approached her parents on the day of her 20th birthday to inform them of her plan to take over the shop. Her father helped her come up with a strict regimen to save her money.

With a considerable loan from her parents, and the gold she’s saved up, Katie purchased Quality Quidditch Supplies on June 25th, 2002. She is now waiting for Mr Piper to move out of the flat above the shop so that she can move in. He is refusing for the time being. Katie is convinced she’ll get her way eventually. She always does.
