CHARACTER
THE BASICS
NAME: Theonia Marine Lekkas but you can just call her Theo
NATIONALITY: Greek
AGE & BIRTHDAY: July 23, 18
YEAR: 7th
PATH/MAJOR: Light Path, Combatative Magic
WAND: 11" Holly, Unicorn Hair Core, Swishy
If your birth tree is the Holly, then you bring warmth and light into your relationships and lift the spirits of those around you. Although you are the life and soul of the party you have too much depth to be a socialite. You become attached to people and places, so when abroad you think of home with a especially strong feelings.
BOGGART: her doctor holding a large needle; she HATES needles
PATRONUS: a monkey
QUIDDITCH POSITION: None


FAMILY/RELATIONSHIPS
PARENTS: Her parents are deceased and she and her siblings were raised by their grandparents.
SIBLINGS: She's right smack in the middle with an older brother and sister and a younger brother and sister, but she's never really suffered from the typical "middle child syndrome."
EXTENDED FAMILY: So many cousins, aunts and uncles, etc. Theo comes from a big family.
SEXUALITY: Straight. While Theo has kissed a girlfriend or two when they'd both had way too much to drink, but she's definitely all about the boys.
SIGNIFICANT OTHERS: Various. Theo has done quite a bit of casual "dating," but she wouldn't say she's ever been in a serious relationship with anyone else before. She generally tends to feel like she's too young to tie herself to one person, especially when playing the field is so much more fun.

APPEARANCE
PB: Mena Suvari
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: clothing style, piercings, tattoos, scars, etc. Especially that which we can't see in iconsTheo is a beautiful girl with bright blue eyes and long blonde hair. If this were an American high school, she might be considered the typical cheerleader type. She has a friendly smile that is almost constantly present on her features and she gives the impression of being generally happy. Theo is one of those easily approachable girls and it's easy to think from her appearance that she isn't someone to be afraid of.

She's a bit of a chameleon when it comes to her style of dress, dressing herself in whatever attire is appropriate for the occasion. She never goes out in public without at least a little bit of makeup, though, no matter how casual the attire or occasion. It's important to her that she always look good, no matter what.

PERSONALITY
LIKES: Quidditch, Boys, Shopping, Charms, Dueling
DISLIKES: Snobs, Blood Purists (this is not something she advertises, however), Studying, Waiting
QUIRKS: She twists her hair around her fingers and she has a wicked sweet tooth
SECRETS:
+ She had a pregnancy scare right after losing her virginity in fifth year and she's been afraid to have sex again since. This isn't common knowledge and she's "friendly" enough that no one would guess she's not having sex, but she hasn't let things go past making out since.
+ She absolutely HATES blood purists. She has to work hard to hide this belief at Durmstrang, of course, but she doesn't understand why anyone believes in that crap. It's not how she was raised at all - her own parents were casualties of the war between the Death Eaters and the Order and she blames them for the fact that they are gone.
+ Her family is pretty sure her youngest sibling is a Squib. This isn't something they've told anyone, of course. He's been send to live with distant relations in America, partly to keep him safer and party to avoid the shame on the family.
STRENGTHS: Defensive Magic, Friendly, Agile, Good reflexes
WEAKNESSES: Naive, Vain, Lack of patience, Distractable

DETAILED PERSONALITY:
Theo is friendly and quite pleasant to be around, if a little shallow and vain. She may not have a lot of booksmarts, but she's a quick thinker and she's good at thinking outside the box. Theo is creative and inventive, which makes her a skilled duelist and while she's not overly fond of violence in general, she's not afraid to get into it when she has to.

There are very few people Theo isn't friendly with. There are always, of course, those abrasive sorts of people that no one gets along with, but Theo really does try her best to be friendly to everyone. She has a tendency to think there is good in everyone, even if it sometimes appears to be buried far below the surface.

Theo is a little bit vain. She cares a lot about her appearance. She likes to have fun. She'd much rather be flirting with a cute boy or hanging out and gossiping with her girlfriends than sitting in the library and studying. She doesn't have a lot of patience and she grows easily bored, particularly when she is made to stay in one spot for very long. Theo has a definite preference for classes that focus more on hands on work and less on book-learning.

Theo is a Leo born on the cusp of Cancer. Positive Leo traits include creativity, charisma, generosity, warmth, enthusiasm, a natural talent for leadership, and a great deal of inner power; negative traits are haughtiness, snobbery, an expectation that one is the centre of attention and should be waited on by everyone else, profligacy, lack of realism, dominance that can lead to bullying, and a refusal to change one's mind even in the face of solid facts.

HISTORY:
Theo has very few memories of her parents. She was only 5 when they passed away, which is certainly old enough to remember them, but she figures she must have blocked that all. Either that, or someone cast a memory charm to keep her from remembering too much. Given how they died - at the hands of Death Eaters - it's not really a crazy theory. After all, she doesn't even know the details of exactly what happened.

Despite being raised by her grandparents rather than the people who gave birth to her from the age of 5, Theo had a relatively happy and normal childhood. She always had plenty of cousins and siblings to play with and she never lacked for attention. She was a curious and fun loving child, always ready to ham it up for a camera or an audience, always ready to make people laugh or just brighten someone's day.

Going to Durmstrang has been an adjustment for her. Not everyone was as open and welcoming as her and there were some people who really tried her patience. She learned very quickly that she had to play along, that she couldn't be vocal about her own views. Where she thought this whole blood supremacy thing was a bunch of crap, she knew that wasn't a popular opinion amongst her peers here and she learned relatively quickly that voicing such an opinion could be extremely dangerous.

Theo did what she could to blend in, being her usual friendly self, but merely nodding and agreeing with the views of whoever she happened to be hanging out with at the time. It seemed like the easiest way to get by in school, after all, though getting involved with dueling has certainly provided her with a way to vent her secret frustrations with the status quo and some of the things her yearmates tended to say.

She's not sure about a life after school. Maybe she'll become an Auror. Maybe she'll move someplace where her views on the world are more celebrated. For now, she's trying to survive and have as pleasant a school experience as possible. After all, she's only young once. She wants to enjoy the dating and being childish parts of life before she gets too old for such things.
