[/color][/b] It's not hard to see when you look at her for the first time, Dorcas is pretty. She has the sweetheart face shape of her mother, a small face with a forehead just narrower than her cheek bones, tapering down into a thin, but strong jaw. Her skin is even toned and free of all marks, there's not a freckle on her face. She has thin, well shaped lips that curve into a fantastic smile, if you can actually squeeze one out of her, the only fault that she seems to stare at every time she catches a glimpse of herself in a mirror her her two front teeth, she thinks that they are too large, which is why it is so difficult to get a smile out of her.in-depth appearance:
She may be pretty, but Dorcas looks fierce. It's in her eyes, her father's eyes, the only looks she really got from his side of the family. Depending on her mood they may look cool and calculated, or just the usual steely gray almond shaped eagle eyes. Whatever her emotions are they always show in her eyes, two shiny windows into her soul. Two well fashioned windows at that, as she uses ample amounts of Mrs. Westwick's Magical Eyelash Extending Potion.
Everything in her appearance makes her look small, diminutive, which sometimes plays into her advantage. People are too busy taking in her tiny 5'4" stature to notice that her body is taut and muscular from years of training as a seeker. Her hands are carefully painted, but callused from use. Her reddish blond hair is perfectly trained to hang, shimmering over one eye, and highlights have been placed strategically throughout to give her a glowing appearance.
Every part of her looks is thought out, and used to her advantage. Dorcas knows how to be beautiful, every inch of her body is plucked, preened, and moisturized, it's a gift that she does not mind using to get exactly what she wants. Even her clothes are thought out with a real intensity, each article meticulously picked out the night before she puts it on. When Dorcas is invited to a party it's as if she is planning to go to battle. [/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/color][/b] All of her life Dorcas has been the center of her family's attention, the single child in a small family. That's probably why she is so used to getting what she wants, even if someone isn't willing to give it to her at first. She's as beautiful as a poisonous snake, and she packs just as much of a punch. You see, everyone looks at her small form and thinks that she's bound to need protection, and she'll let anyone think that if they want. She's a luxurios house cat stretched out baking in the sun one minute, and munching on the entrails of her recent conquest the next.in-depth personality:
And yes she is gifted. How do you think she ended up in Ravenclaw? She spent her formative years quiet, observant, sponging up as much information as she could about books, magic, everything. She stole her fathers wand a good nine times before she decided it was too much of a risk, wanting so badly to be at Hogwarts already. She's a girl that sees what she wants and takes it, and she understands that you have to be smart to do that. She's amongst the top of her class, just as her father was when he was at Hogwarts.
Still, through the calculated and glimmering exterior you might notice what's inside, that's if she ever lets her guard down. And it does get rather tiring after a while so you might catch a glimpse. She's a perfectionist, an utterly hopeless romantic, and she not just wants, but needs to be noticed. She will take every risk if only the love of her life (or the week) will notice her. Thus she seems a bit like a chameleon, changing her appearance, her favorite band, everything to be his dream girl.
Well, with the exception of her favorite Quidditch team, Dorcas has been following Puddlemere United since she was in the womb. Her father is the seeker. It's no secret that she wants to take his place someday, though most everyone that knows her thinks she could do so much more. She doesn't see it as wasted potential though, as the sport is so ingrained in her bones that she sometimes wakes up holding, broom in hand, walking across the common room floor. Quidditch is the only thing that, even though many passions come and go in her life, Dorcas will never let go of.[/blockquote][/blockquote]
[/color][/b] There are two things that Dorcas loves the most in her life, Quidditch, and her father. I suppose that's why she roots for Puddlemere United, her favorite professional Quidditch team, and why her favorite color is blue. It's a given that Dorcas loves magic her favorite classes at Hogwarts are Transfiguration, which she has a certain natural aptitude for, and Charms. She enjoys writing in her journal, on her down time, or circling he pitch and attempting to find the golden snitch.[/blockquote][/blockquote]likes:
[/color][/b] Above all else Dorcas hates to go unnoticed. She also extremely dislikes losing, chocolate, and herbology class (do you have any idea how long it takes to remove all of that dirt from under your fingernails?). Even if she is not being serious about a guy Dorcas hates to be turned down. She has way too much pride, which is easily damaged.[/blockquote][/blockquote]dislikes:
-------
boggart:[/color][/b] The worst possible thing that could happen to Dorcas is that her loved ones would die, she hates to be alone, and wouldn't that be the final goodbye?
patronus:[/color][/b] Dorcas' patronus is a swan. It's kind of perfect for her right? They're pretty and no one really fears a swan until they're being chased by one.
mirror of erised:[/color][/b] Glory. Above all else Dorcas wants to be known, she wants to see her name in lights, and she wants every boys kissing her boots trying to get her attention. In the mirror of erised Dorcas would see herself as the seeker for Puddlmere United, at the alter with her one true love, the apple of her father's eye.
wand:[/color][/b] Six and a quarter inches, hazel, phoenix feather core.

[/color][/b] Dorcas is an only child and quite happy for that.[/blockquote][/blockquote]siblings:
[/color][/b] Dorcas has always lived in Kent, though her parents have a summer home in Lyon.[/blockquote][/blockquote]current residence:
[/color][/b] Dorcas was not a surprise for her parents, in fact they tried several times and failed to have a child before they became pregnant with her. Morgan and Marguerite met at Hogwarts. He was a few years her senior, they didn't become close in school. After they met again, when Marguerite was filling in on the Puddlemere United beat, they felt an attraction and soon married. It was a few years later that they had Dorcas, and though they did try to have other children, they failed.in depth history:
Dorcas grew up in Kent, in her father's childhood home. She was a bit spoiled, her father doted on her when he was home, her mother as well. Even though they were both busy, they made time for their daughter, and Dorcas was a very happy child, though sometimes mischievous. When her parents were both busy with work Dorcas would stay the day, or night with her cousins. She was especially close with Marlene, sharing a trundle bed with her even if her parents were home.
When Dorcas watched her father play a match for the first time she truly fell in love with Quidditch. She was only four years old when she graduated from a trainer broom. She has since expertly trained herself to not only fly well, but with superb speed. Her attention to detail and eagle eyes made the seeker position an obvious choice for her to pursue. She practiced in the fields of her magical children's play camp.
When Dorcas finally received her Hogwart's letter she showed it to every magical person she knew, sending owls to her grandparents and Marlene that night. Within the week she had bought everything she needed to begin her magical education, her wand, books, and her very own owl whom she named Grayson. When she left on the train to school, though she knew she would miss her parents, she happily ran to a compartment with her friends. Dorcas was one of the lucky kids that had a premade set of friends before she even left for school.
The sorting hat struggled with the decision of which house to put her in, cycling through every house, even Slytherin. She was only slightly disappointed when she was sorted into Ravenclaw. Her cousin, Marlene was sorted into Gryffindor as they had always wanted, their parents house. Since that first day at Hogwarts Dorcas has slowly built a web of friends, boyfriends, enemies, and even a few unrequited loves. She has noticed some of the rumblings around her, and knows what side she will be on.
