BRIDIE AURORA FITZGERALD*
TWENTY-NINE years old, HOGWARTS LIBRARIAN
represented GRYFFINDOR, bearing a SWISHY ROWAN, 9.75", CORE OF A DIRICAWL FEATHER wand
Name: Bridie Aurora Fitzgerald. Her nicknames include Birdie and Rory.
Gender: Female.
Age: Recently turned twenty-nine.
Blood Type: Halfblood - Mum's a Muggle and Dad's a Wizard.
Pet: Chameleon named Pascal. Male.
Wand: Swishy rowan, 9.75", core of a diricawl feather
Profession: Hogwarts Librarian.
House: Gryffindor alumni.
Description: With her long red hair, pale skin, and green eyes, Bridie seems to be the stereotypical Irish girl. She stands at 5'6" and is proud of it, to say the least. She tends to opt for comfortable clothes and boots rather than anything, but she'll dress up if the need arises. Freckles line her arms, shoulders, and thighs. A birthmark shaped roughly like a four-leaf clover lies close to her bellybutton. Additionally, she has three tattoos. She has a tattoo she got when she was seventeen, of a chameleon - her Patronus - on her right hip; a rose compass on her left inside arm, and the quote “There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.” between her shoulder blades.
Personality: Overall, Bridie is a twenty-nine year old woman with a heart of gold and nerves of steel. She's something fierce when it comes to holding her ground or standing up for others she cares about, and she isn't completely above harming others to keep them safe. Even still, she enjoys her freedom above everything, and adventuring is her passion. She is best friends with her chameleon. While it might seem silly, she has a connection with Pascal, almost as if he was human. Besides that, she doesn't have too many friends, despite her friendly demeanor. As a proud Gryffindor alumnus, she dreams of adventuring, but as she's loyal, she remains at her job as Hogwarts librarian - one she enjoys.
Bridie has her faults, just as everyone. She has a temper (though that might come more from her Irish heritage) and is both proud and stubborn. Waiting is something she hates doing, and while she has an excellent poker face, she's emotionally vulnerable more often than not. She is also a bit naive, and is a lot less bold than what she used to be as a student. Despite her weaknesses, she is strong and brave, intelligent, and quite loyal. All in all, she's a little tough to handle, but if you gain her trust, you better not break it - or she will certainly break a bone or two of yours.

History: Bridie Aurora Fitzgerald was born on Valentine's Day, much to her displeasure. She resents the holiday in itself, but it isn't her fault. Birdie, as one of her nicknames is, grew up in a Halfblood home, learning of both the Muggle and Wizard life. Being Irish, she grew up on the windy coast, playing along the sea shore and playing in the shallow waters as a young girl. She's the only child to Galvin and Keelan Fitzgerald, but it doesn't bother her. She enjoyed it as a child; she received all the attention from them.
Upon her acceptance to Hogwarts, she was sorted into Gryffindor. It suited her well; her thirst for adventure and her sharp tongue paired with a brave and just demeanor, though her quest for knowledge and love of books nearly landed her in Ravenclaw as her Mum had once been. Throughout the years, her highest marks were in Charms and Transfiguration, quickly followed by DADA, though she nearly failed Divination. Her parents were honestly just pleased she graduated.
Rory became Librarian of Hogwarts five years ago, which was when she got her beloved pet chameleon Pascal. When she isn't at the school, she lives in her dingy little flat in Diagon Alley; it might be small and a bit sketchy, but the rent's cheap and she doesn't have to live with her parents. Pascal likes exploring around the library and Bridie's office, often climbing along bookshelves and riding on floating books. She enjoys the little reptile's enthusiasm, and can honestly say that he's probably her best friend. She's like a crazy Irish cat lady, except she has one chameleon and not multiple felines (she hates them).
Bridie's Amortentia:
Ocean breeze. Some of Bridies best memories take place near the ocean. Every time she thinks of them, she can smell that salty sea air, and it brings a smile to her face.
New books. It's a smell she's never once grown tired of, and probably never will.
Apple pie. Apples being her favourite food, this is perhaps one of her favourite scents in the world. It would be a sin not to include it in here.
