Physical Appearance
Hair (style): Her crowning glory, Nate has had long hair for as long as she could remember. It hangs in a ruffled curtain down to the small of her back, its color a luscious dark brown that gets lighter at the tips after a few months in the French summer sun.

Clothing: Nate would pick comfort over fashion any day. She owns a selection of billowy, ethereal tops, which she pairs with dress-shorts or jeans. She cares about her appearance, and does cosmetic charms to vanish the occasional blemish, or after she’s studied to much, the dark circles beneath her eyes.
Other distinguishing features: A birthmark the shape of a goldfish under her right foot.

Personality
General Personality [min. 100 words]:
Growing up in a loving, complete family nurtured Natasha to become a confident, optimistic, happy girl. That secure blanket that her family gave her would always be her constant support in life. While she was taught to be firm about her opinions, her mother had also taught her to be polite and diplomatic; as the daughter of one of the magical and muggle world’s public figures, Natasha had to behave in a way that her status required her to. She had been schooled to hide her more effervescent ways when in the public eye.

With her friends Natasha is always there, ready to help and give assistance. This might sometimes come off as slightly clingy, but from the bottom of her heart, she means well. Natasha can sometimes be quick to judge her peers, and can be impulsive when speaking to them. She has been proven wrong many, many times, and is quick to apologize and make amends.

She is a proud girl but has learnt over the years that a word of apology can make the difference in a friendship.

Best traits: (at least 3): Optimistic, Cheerful, Meticulous, Gregarious, Determined, Forgiving.
Worst traits: (at least 3): Stubborn, Arrogant, Judgmental, Can be naïve at times.
Strengths: (in general): her outspokenness, self-confidence, family connections, upbringing, easy adaptability in foreign situations, and diplomatic persona.
Weaknesses: (in general): Lack of exposure to the less favorable situations in the world, inability to hide her emotions, her trusting nature.
Likes: (at least 3): Sushi, Meringues, Strawberry shortcake, trips to Spain and Greece, driving, knitting, Transfiguration, Potions.
Dislikes: (at least 3): Long essay assignments, tedious social events, plane flights.
Hobbies/interests: Cooking, baking, knitting, diary-ing, gymnastics.
Worst Fear (how would a boggart represent this fear?): bugs and creepy crawlies; it would transform into thousands of ants, roaches, snakes etc, and swarm towards her.

Background
History [min. 150 words]:
Natasha Lacroix was born on a hot summer’s afternoon in the Lacroix townhouse in the city of Versailles, France.

Her childhood was blessed and mundane. She had a loving, well-balanced relationship with her mother, and a respectful one with her strict father. Natasha was brought up to be strong in her opinions, yet at the same time, giving and generous. She is fluent in both English and French, is decent at watercolors and has a relatively wide repertoire in the Flute and the piano.

Being born into a magical family, Natasha had always known she would go to Hogwarts to begin her formal magical education. Never did it cross her mind that there was a slight chance she might just be a squib! Her mother had always allowed her to play with her wand, and on occasion, Natasha would be able to cast simple spells, or unintentionally cause sparks to burst out. At the end of July on her tenth year, she sat down to breakfast, seeing the white velum envelope on her plate, just like she had always known it would be.

Like most of her family, Natasha was sorted into Gryffindor, where she made fast friends with all of the people in her year. She was an intelligent girl who found her studies easy, and moved quickly through the ranks to become one of her year’s high achievers. In her third year, she took up the maximum of four electives: Muggle Studies, Care of Magical Creatures, Arithmancy and Ancient Runes,

Natasha is not without rivals within Hogwarts. Being a proud Gryffindor naturally made her an easy target for some of the more.. Cunning students. She did her best to ignore those that disliked her, and allowed herself to be immersed in her secure circle of friends. She was optimistic and cheerful, and well liked by her peers. Though she wasn’t a stickler for the rules, Natasha was chosen to become one of the two Gryffindor Prefects in for her fifth year and must now try her best at being a rule-abiding student.

Family:
• Sabian Lacroix, Father, Head of International Relations, France, Member of Wizengamot, England.
• Analina Lacroix nee Tagstone, Mother, Head of Magical Law Enforcement, England
• Verity Lacroix, Grandmother, Ravenclaw witch, Member of the Wizengamot, England.
• Grimal Lacroix, Grandfather, retired Head of International Magical Cooperation, France.
• Amelia Tagstone, Lady Amelia Tagstone, Viscountess Tagstone, England.
• Lucas Tagstone, Lord Lucas Tagstone, Viscount Tagstone.


School
Best subject: Transfiguration
Worst subject: Ancient Runes
Aspirations for the future: (after Hogwarts): International relations for the English or French Ministry.
House: Gryffindor
Why is your character in this house?: Many have argued that Natasha should have been put in Ravenclaw instead, brainy, and quite clever, good grades come easily to her. However, her bravery, courage, and perhaps arrogance outshadow her academics. Also, everyone in the Tagstone family have been Gryffindors- her father and his brothers have also been Gryffindors, other members of the Lacroix family were educated in France. Her paternal Grandmother, Verity, was also a Gryffindor witch.
Year: 5

OOC Information
Your name: Gwen!
Do you have any other characters here?: Nope!
