CHARACTER DOCUMENTATION
Character Name: Claudia Lynette Baddock
Character Nickname: Claud
Character Age: 15
Character Year: 5th
House/Alumni: Ravenclaw

Physical Appearance:
I know I reserved Brittany Murphy but I think I am going to switch to Naomi Watts...

Claudia is a pretty interesting person to look at. She has shoulder length bright blonde hair that is usually straight for the most part, but can go into loose waves when she least wants it to. Claudia actually likes her hair and considers it her best feature. She has blue eyes that are just sort of there, you know, they are just blue. Some people have blue eyes with bits of green or grey in them to make them interesting, but hers are just as they are. Blue. Surrounded by black eyelashes that are slightly tipped blonde (as she is blonde) and similar shaded arched eyebrows.

Her complexion is smooth, something she is grateful for at her stage of adolescence, and she is very pale. In the sun she doesn't color, she usually will just burn then go back to being as white as she was before.

Claud is pretty average in height, around 5'5'' tall and is rather thin. She isn't skin and bones, but she really isn't all that curvy yet and is still rather lanky for her size. Her limbs sometimes feel too long for her body and she feels very awkward and angular next to a lot of girls who can pull off that 'willowy' look. She is clumsy because of this awkward feeling. Often you'll see Claudia falling or tripping over something with a random bruise or two as proof of her coordination. Or lack thereof.

Personality and Traits:

Claudia can be pretty shy around new people. It used to be a lot worse when she was younger, but lately it has been improving. With those she is familiar with she has no problem, but put her in a crowd of strangers and she will turn as red as a new quaffle. Claudia can also get rather tongue-tied around members of the opposite sex that she is unfamiliar with; which only adds to the degrees of her shyness.

Now that she is older, and for other reasons as well, Claudia isn't as shy as she once was. After five years at school familiarity broke her shell a bit and some people began to get close with her. Now Claudia teeters between shy and just quiet out of habit more than anything else.

Claudia is a very serious student and loves to read. Reading is an escape for her, she can bury herself in a book and be content for hours. Sometimes the pressures of school and having a social life really gets to Claudia and to calm herself she turns to books. She also enjoys tree climbing, something most people would not expect from her. She can spend hours sitting on the topmost branch of a leafy tree and be content for hours. Claudia has also been known to sneak swims in the lake on the school grounds, but usually that's only at night when she knows she will not be seen by anyone.

Claudia is a very easy going person. When she laughs her laugh is often contagious and sometimes causes others to laugh along with her mainly because she snorts when she gets really into it. Personally she hates that she snorts and tries to avoid doing so at all costs. Claudia is not easily angered but once she gets there it is nearly impossible to bring her back from that state for quite some time. She will become at an extreme loss for words and stuttering with big hand gestures is very common.

Once she gets a hold of herself, then her wit becomes her strongest weapon and the words start flying. She can get snappish or huffy, but to really anger Claudia takes a heck of a lot more. What really angers Claudia? Usually people who play around with her, mind games annoy her to know end, and also people who lie. She can also be extremely sarcastic if she wants to, it just happens. Usually when she is tired or stressed her sarcastic streak really begins to shine through.

Claudia is pretty inept when it comes to Herbology. For some reason the girl can't seem to grasp the concepts needed to be an ace in the subject. She mixes up all the plant names and properties, forgets the proper care techniques, and is really not all that fond of getting dirt caked in places it shouldn't be. There was also that incident in her third year with a Mandrake and a watering can that forced her to go to the hospital wing for about two weeks.

On the other hand Claudia is pretty talented in Potions. She loves being able to take many different ingredients and combine them to make a brand new property. Even though it is a wandless subject Claudia is fascinated by it. Claudia also loves Charms and has a knack for the class and seems to grasp the concepts quickly.

Claudia will speak her mind and is open and friendly to anyone who shares the respect to do the same for her. Not just her friends. If a person doesn't care to do that than Claudia just shrugs it off and doesn't let it get to her. Sometimes Claudia trusts people too easily which sets herself up for disappointment but she has learned more over the years to depend on herself. It is easier to be self reliant than to depend on another person to do things for her.

She hates liars and being lied to and would rather hear a harsh truth then have something sugar coated. Sometimes Claudia tends to over think situations and send her brain into overdrive, but otherwise she tries to keep her mind open and accepting.

And most people don't realize she is deathly afraid of thunderstorms. Why? She tries her best to hide it. To her thunderstorms seems like a childish thing to be afraid of, like the dark, so she does her best to make sure no one finds out. But she really is terrified I tell you.

Bloody terrified.

Aside from that Claudia is also very ticklish. One poke in the ribs and she can jump a good foot in the air. It is a terrible fault, being ticklish, as those who know her know that even the threat of tickling is a perfect way to get information from her.

Background/Family History:

Claudia doesn't know too much about her early life. She knows she somehow ended up in a wizarding orphanage at the age of one and she wasn't alone. A newborn baby boy was with her. The two were brother and sister, abandoned by a young witch who seemed at the end of her rope, according to the Head of the orphanage. The mother seemed to be alone and very young, unable to support two children, so she left them for others to take care of.

About one year later two men entered the orphanage in search of a child. Claudia was quiet, sitting in the corner playing with her baby brother, now almost two, the brother one, while the other children fought for the attention of the two men. The two were intrigued by the quiet girl and the baby at her side and went to investigate. Instantly a bond was formed and the men decided they had to not only take the girl, but her little brother as well.

Once in her new home Claudia began to flourish, as did her brother. She went from sharing a room with twenty other children under the age of two to having her very own room. Although at her young age she didn't understand too much she knew she was now in a place where she was going to be loved and cared for.

Growing up Claudia was very comfortable. Her fathers were kind and very caring when it came to her and her brother. They were basically given whatever they asked for, but that made Claudia rather uncomfortable so she tended not to ask for much. Piano lessons, ballet, and tons of books made their way into the girl's life. She was very content and loved her family very much.

Then at age eleven she recieved her Hogwarts letter. Excited and scared the girl and her fathers, affectionately called Father and Daddy (or Dad), prepared to send their little girl off to school. As she got on the train Claudia knew some children were looking at her strange, but she was worried about her little brother too much to notice. Hugging him tightly she knew he would be joining her next year, but she would miss him all the same.

On the train she was asked the question for the first time, "Why do you have two fathers with you?" or "Where is your mother?" In all honesty Claudia never realized her family was any different. She just replied, "Because I do." and "I never knew her." She was chosen by her parents, how many people can say that?? Her friends just shrugged it off and accepted it, others were not as sensible. Luckily over the years most people stopped caring, Malcolm and Graham were well known in school in Slytherin in their day, but Claudia never let that influence her. Her fathers were proud of her no matter what house she was sorted into and wrote her at least once a week to check in on her.

The next year, like clockwork, her little brother got on the train with her. Claudia told him what to expect and the younger Baddock took it into stride as much as she did.

Now in her fifth year Claudia is doing very well. She is preparing for OWLs and is very bright. She loves Quidditch and is very dedicated to the Pride of Portree team. Her marks are good and she has a decent circle of friends. All in all she is doing quite well.

Role-Playing Sample:

Thaddeus Crabbe was a man of many vices. He was a sucker for jazz music and could be roped in to his saxaphone for hours at a time. He loved Quidditch and once sneaked out of the house to see a Pride of Portree game causing his mother to nearly go crazy so when he arrived home a group of Aurors were ready to come looking for him. But most of all he loved candy.

Fizzing Wizzbees to be percise.

Even if one of the ingredients of Fizzing Wizzbees is dried Billywig stings they were still his favorites.

But going into Honeyduke's on a cold day was like an oasis in the desert. The warm, toffee scented air tickled his nostrils and the rows upon rows of candy made him feel like, well, a kid in a candy store. There were Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, Cauldron Cakes, Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pasties, Licorice Wands, Ice Mice, Acid and Blood Pops, Cockroach Clusters, and nougats and toffees and ices as far as the eye could see. Oh Thaddeus Crabbe was in heaven.

In his little shopping basket he already had about six Fizzing Wizzbees. Along with them he grabbed some fudge, chocolate frogs, sugar quills, peppermint humbugs, and Drooble's Best Blowing Gum. He was splurging today.

Making his way to a row of Bertie Botts he grabbed a plastic bag and began to pick and choose from the colours assorted before him. Red...hmm, is it cherry? Watermelon? Cinnamon? Strawberry? Blood? Ok orange has to be orange. Or apricot. Right? Right. One orange bean in the bag. Green. Too risky. Could be any vegetable known to man or even boogey flavored. Or is that brown? Or is ear wax brown? Blue! Blue has to be blueberry! Wrinkling his brow Thad carefully put two blue beans in his little bag. Three beans. Oy. Black was usually pepper or cement. Yellow could be lemon, but you know what else it could be. Purple...grape? One purple bean in the bag. Four.

Ugh! This was hard! Thaddeus was an intelligent guy. He had good grades, a whole bunch of O.W.L.s and he could strategize really well. He did play Quidditch afterall! But he could never choose what kind of Bertie Botts to buy. It was too hard! Sighing Thaddeus watched a group of third years laugh and stick their hands in the barrel, tossing them into their bags completely carefree.

Ah youth. Biting his lip Thad stared at the barrel, wondering which ones would be worth the risk to try.

I'm so glad someone took this character. xD It's like my Crabbe/Goyle pairing without the Crabbe and Goyle. ;p
