WHAT DO THEY NORMALLY WEAR Erin is trendy, and it isn't unusual to see here wearing something new and fashion forward, but deep down, she is really a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl.

DISLIKES Erin's dislikes include: liars, fakes, and people who act a though they are better than anyone else. Not to mention, people who chew gum too loudly, or do no finish a thought when they are speaking.

MIRROR OF ERISED Success as the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, with her family by her side – her parents abandonded her after she sided with the Order a few years ago, instead of not stand by her family and their beliefs in making the magical world “pure” again.
PATRONUS Red Fox – Quick and feisty, this small animals is one of the few which is native to Scotland – Erin's homeland. Thought her family ties have since been cut off from Scotland, it is still where Erin calls home and from where she pulls her strength and her courage to move forward and continue with life.
PERSONALITY Erin is fun loving and generally a happy person. She has spunk and an attitude to go with her loud personality. Erin isn't the type of person to wear her heart on her sleeve, and keeps her true emotions bottled up inside her, generally in a dark corner of herself which she doesn't visit often. Putting a smile on every day, Erin is a hard worker and has had to work for everything she has received in life so far, and she doesn't plan on that changing anytime soon. With big aspirations and plans for the future, Erin is by no means ready to settle down yet. Yes she does eventually want a family of her own, but she is having to much fun currently and doesn't want that to change anytime soon.

OTHER POSSESSIONS OR OTHER THINGS YOU WISH TO NOTE A promise ring given to her 3 years ago from the man she was to marry back home, whom she had to give up her future with upon choosing her future and life path.
HISTORY Erin grew up in a family with strong feelings toward halfbloods and muggle born wizards and witches. A feeling of hatred and that these people should never have been allowed to be part of the wizarding world. For Erin, she never agreed with and supported her families beliefs but kept her mouth shut until her 5th year at Hogwarts. Being the youngest of her family, Erin had always looked up to her older siblings and parents as role models and as people whom she aspired to be. But all of that changed with the return of the Dark Lord. Suddenly having to decide to follow her family or her heart, Erin stood her ground and rebelled against her family and ran away from home.
Fearing for her life Erin never looked back at the family she left behind, but this has never changed the memories she has of them, being the strong and stable home she'd had growing up. After the war Erin never found out if her parents or any of her siblings were even still alive. She is still afraid to go home, but the desire to know is slowly eating her up inside. however, she doesn't know what will happen if her family is alive and if she were to see them again. That fear alone is what has kept Erin from ever returning or going searching for answers.
After graduating from Hogwarts Erin took up a respectable position within the ministry and is currently training to become an Auror. Her future is still undecided and Erin is just taking ever day as it comes. No one knows about her family, just that Erin never talks about them or the hardships she has faced, and Erin plans on keeping it that way.
RP SAMPLE. Caleigh was bored, it was Sunday and for once she wasn't out exploring Hogsmeade Village on unauthorized school trips, but rather being a model student, sitting in her common room, and trying to get caught up on some school work. It had been a while since Caleigh had last seen or heard from Deran, and she was starting to wonder exactly what he was up too, but she knew he couldn't be too far.. or well he could but he would have told her wouldn't he? What if he's hurt? Caleigh wondered, her mind spinning over all the things Deran had told her the first time they met.
Shaking her head, Caleigh decided she needed fresh air. She needed to clear her mind of all the negative that was starting to over take her. Looking outside, Caleigh grabbed a simple black zip up sweater and threw it over her tank. She knew it wasn't that cold out, but the breeze made the air feel cold against bare skin. Wearing a pair of jean sorts, and her tank and sweater, Caleigh slipped into her favorite pair of old black flip-flop sandals and headed out to the bridge.
As Caleigh neared the bridge, she noticed another person was already there. A boy, she didn't know who he was or what year he was, but Caleigh was sure she'd seen him at the Slytherin table. Walking casually closer, Cally noticed the boy turn his back to her. How rude, the small Ravenclaw thought. Flipping her long dark girls over her shoulder Caleigh rolled her eyes as she walked past him. "Geez Anti-social much?" she chided a mocking tone in her voice. It wasn't like Cally to be rude, but well, the boy who was now behind her had started it. s now behind her had started it.
