  3. Skin colour: Caucasion
  4. Build: Tatiana's about 5'11" tall. Slender and lean, athletic, well-developed muscles
  5. Clothing: As Tanya often feels more Muggle than Witch, she doesn't like wearing robes and only does so when it's required. Aside from that, she's quite casual in her choice of clothing. Likes wearing cargo pants.
  6. Other distinguishing features: Small scar near her temple; pretty, but somewhat boyish face

Personality

  1. General Personality [min. 100 words]: Free-spirited, vivacious, competitive, protective, open-minded and kind. Those are the words that are most used to describe Tatiana. Tatiana is a warm individual with a marked fondness for sports and other areas typically preferred by boys. Her wild, often unfeminine behaviour aswell as her looks have given her the reputation of a tomboy. She has a natural protective streak, despising anyone picking on others and an instinctive desire to help her friends. Unfortunately, making those friends can be a different story: as impervious as Tanya is to physical injury, so sensitive can she be sometimes to the emotional kind. While she pretends otherwise, Tatiana can have trouble really opening her heart and mind to others due to a fear of becoming attached: she can engage in casual, even frivolous conversation as easily as the next person, but takes some time before ever sharing anything beyond that, going as far as to hide her feelings and her problems, which she affirms to herself that she's confident of handling on her own. But once Tanya has found someone to confide in, she can be an intensely loyal friend. She's also quite courageous, confident, strong and can be a decent (if somewhat reluctant) leader. Lastly, Tatiana is also rather impatient and her fiery temper often gets her into trouble.
  2. Best traits: Great stamina, protective, free-spirited
  3. Worst traits: Keeps others at a distance, has quite a temper, magical ineptitude
  4. Strengths: Sports; handling animals; remembering facts; climbing trees; speaking in front of crowds; videogames
  5. Weaknesses: All forms of magic (but particularly at those that require a wand); easily provoked; trouble opening up to others
  6. Likes: All kinds of sports (running, swimming, soccer, martial arts, etc.); speed (running, cycling, driving); close friends; videogames; movies; sunrises and early mornings; food, particularly Italian; travelling; nature; watching the stars at night
  7. Dislikes: People picking on others; alcohol (low tolerance); her magical education; moving; wasps
  8. Hobbies/interests: Sports, videogames, movies, travelling, long walks
  9. Worst Fear: Undoubtedly her father dying, which a boggart would represent as his corpse

Background

  1. History [min. 150 words]: Tatiana Artemis Mallory was born in New Jersey to a Muggle mother, Diana (a school teacher), and a wizard father, Slade Zaccone - an Auror working for the American Government of Magic who never bothered to mention anything about the magical world. Tanya's parents got divorced only a few years after she was born: when Slade left, neither Tanya or her mother were any the wiser about the magical world.

    That changed when odd things started happening around Tatiana when she was about 7 years old: during an innocent game of soccer, for instance, she kicked the ball so hard she blasted it through a brick wall. Another time, when high-jumping, Tatiana launched herself at least 80 feet in the air and landed without a scratch on her. It was shortly after this incident that workers from the magical government informed Tatiana and her mother about the fact that she was a witch and that, rather than being Muggleborn, she had probably inherited it from her father. Though shocked, both Diana and Tanya took it pretty well: they were, however, furious that Slade had never said anything. They had always known him to be eccentric, but hadn't expected this. Unlike most children, however, Tatiana was rather reluctant to attend Salem High. She didn't want to be different from all her Muggle friends and even went so far as to send a letter to the Magical Government asking whether it was possible to have her powers removed somehow. Even with that answer being 'no', it wasn't until her mother convinced her that it was probably for the best to learn to control the magic within her that Tanya at last resigned herself to her fate.

    Like countless magical children before her, she received a letter with an invitation to attend Salem High School of Sorcery on her 11th birthday and went off less than 2 months later. While initially feeling out of place, Tanya found her bearings soon enough and even started enjoying her life at Salem High - that was, until, in the midst of her second year, she received word that her mother had died in a car crash.

    With no other relatives of any kind to take care of her and the Head of Salem High refusing to let Tanya stay throughout the summer holidays, she was taken in by her estranged father, whom she hadn't seen or spoken to in years. If that wasn't awkward enough, to make matters worse, her father was sent on Auror missions not just all over the US, but throughout the whole world aswell and he took Tatiana along. As a result, she attended virtually every magical school to be found, constantly switching in a matter of months, from one to another: never making friends, never feeling at home. In the years that passed, Tanya and her father got into plenty of arguments, with her growing increasingly off-put by the magical world and desiring to live like a normal Muggle, to the point that she once ran away from home only to return a few days later. After that, both Tatiana and her father grew more mellow and at the same time, so did their lives.

    But just when it seemed that she might be able to spend her fifth through her seventh year back in America, disaster struck: after a great operation to interrupt a deal between the dangerous Syndicate and a smaller wizarding crime group, Tatiana's father was accused by both the Aurors and the Syndicate itself for a crime he didn't commit, stealing a case with valuable vials of potion (drugs) that were supposed to have been taken in as evidence and supposedly selling them to a rival organisation. Suddenly hunted by both the government and the Syndicate, he fled the country along with his daughter, but realised that she wasn't safe with him; to provide Tatiana with both a refuge and a stable life, he drew on his last ace - Caelestis Moody.

    The ex-Auror and Duelling Teacher at Hogwarts School, since famous for the role he played along with the Order of the Phoenix in the Third War, once worked together in an international operation and he was a good friend of both Slade himself and their mentor, James Spencer. Caelestis worked together with Slade during his short but succesful tenure as an Auror - and he still owes Slade a great deal for saving Cael's life once. With no other choices left, he sent Tatiana with a letter from him to London, to Cael's address, asking him to take his daughter in and allowing her to have a decent education at Hogwarts.

    It's with a mixture of anger, confusion, fear for her father's safety and some trepidation that Tatiana has arrived at the doorsteps of the Moody family...
  2. Family: Tatiana's father, Slade Zaccone, is the only person she has left. Although he appears to be a bit of a careless, absent-minded, bumbling American Auror, he is actually a very skilled wizard and has taken part in quite a few larger, nation-wide operations against wizarding crime groups such as the Syndicate. The last son of a once wealthy, but long-since ruined pureblood family, Slade married the Muggle Diana Mallory, but got divorced a few years after Tatiana's birth (never once bothering to tell either of them about the fact that he was a wizard). When Diana died in a car accident when her daughter was 12, Slade took her in. The two are often at odds with each other, but while Tania doesn't show it, she does love her father very much and is very concerned about his current predicament.
