LEXI ELIZABETH KNIGHT*
FIFTH year, FIFTEEN years old
representing HUFFLEPUFF, bearing a 10 3/4" quite flexible Rowan wand,
core of unicorn hair
Description: Lexi stands at 5'5", tall for her age, with a slim, yet toned, build. She has deep brown irises, her eyes large and almond-shaped. Her face is slender and smooth, her pale skin marred only by a scar that extends from her left nostril to the outer corner of her left eye, the result of a childhood accident. Her mousey brown hair flows down her back to her waist, fine, soft and straight. She normally dresses for comfort rather than style, preferring loose-fitting outfits that are easy to move in, but if the situation calls for dressing up, she cleans up rather nicely.
Personality: Lexi, until she gets to know someone, is quiet and shy. She's polite, yet reserved, in large social settings. Once she's warmed up to someone, however, she changes completely. To her friends, she's perky and talkative, with an infectious laugh that usually causes those around her to smile in response, if not laugh themselves.
She's very loving to those she lets in, quick to forgive. If one of her friends is in need of a shoulder to cry on, Lexi is there with tissues and her full attention. She hates it when her friends are upset or sad, and will do everything in her power to console them. In school, Lexi is bright and attentive in the subjects she enjoys, with a thirst for knowledge that hasn't been sated. Her professors see her as eager to learn, without sucking up to them to get ahead in class. In the subjects she despises, however, she is seen as inattentive, with poor workmanship.
Outside of the classroom, Lexi is reckless, looking for an adventure when she gets bored, which seems to happen quite frequently.
Likes: Quidditch, Herbology, libraries, the smell of new books, her family and friends, her cat Hera
Dislikes: bullies, corned beef, potions, parties, makeup, scary movies
History: Lexi was born on a farm outside of London, to her parents Mark, a muggle veterinarian, and Angela, a herbologist shopkeeper. Two years after her birth, she was joined in the world by sister Megan, who followed her around from the moment she could walk. The sisters were always very close, getting into trouble together. Lexi taught Megan how to read and write, Megan encouraged her big sister in anything she wanted to do, but lacked the courage to try. When Lexi received her acceptance letter to hogwarts, the only other person happier than Lexi herself was Megan.
When Lexi was about 4, she and her sister were outside playing, and Lexi came across her mother's broom. Without thinking of the consequences, she hopped on the broom and sped around the yard, her feet trailing mere inches above the ground. Her mother saw her and yelled out for Lexi to stop, but when Lexi turned her head to say that she wouldn't get hurt, the broom took a nosedive into the garden and Lexi barrelled into the the picket fence, gashing open her left cheek. Her mother did the best she could for the wound with her stores of medicinal plants, but the wound left a ragged scar that Lexi would forever carry. It didn't stop her from being reckless in the future, but the scar served as a constant reminder of what happens when you don't pay attention.
