Description

Mackenzie Lestrange is attractive and knows it, giving her a generally haughty look though when she smiles it turns into a devious one. She has straight black hair that falls midway down her back and bright green eyes. Fairly pale, her time in the sunlight gives her a constant faint rosy color to her cheeks and shoulders. She stands at five feet nine inches, well taller than most of the other girls in her grade.

Background

Mackenzie Lestrange was born to cousins Erzsebet Carrow and Tocar Lestrange the moment the clock ticked to January 1st. Her parents were rumored to have been deeply involved in the Dark Arts most of her life and just before she started school at Hogwarts, her father was accused of killing a Mudblood who had hoodwinked him into buying false artifacts and was sentenced to Azkaban.

Brought up by her mother alone since, she has lived a posh life from her parents' money, though slightly ostracized due to her father's sullied reputation. Her mother ran the household under tight supervision and Mackenzie was frequently punished for every little misstep she made. Instead of getting in line, she frequently acted out, striving to cause her mother as much stress as possible as she tried to uphold the Lestrange Family honor. Whether by her upbringing or heredity, Mackenzie has wildly fluctuating moods. She will fall into a depressive state, lying in bed for days at a time and then improve too far the other direction, living impulsively and causing trouble for herself and others.

In school, Mackenzie found great solace, able to finally live more freely. She was sorted into Slytherin after some amount of deliberation of the Sorting Hat between it and Gryffindor. She's known in Hogwarts by her meticulously kept-up with good looks and rebellious nature; she's frequently caught sneaking out and causing trouble. While she's lousy at skills such as flying and potions, she seems to excel any anything requiring a wand. She took Care of Magical Creatures and the Study of Ancient Runes, neither of which she achieved much beyond passable grades. The only classes she did well in are the only ones she took seriously: Charms and Transfiguration. She selected both as her NEWT courses and stands out as one of the best students in the class. Despite her inability on a broomstick, Mackenzie prides herself in keeping physically fit, and can quite frequently be seen running in the mornings before class.

RP Hooks

• Blood Purist: Mackenzie believes in the importance of Pure-blood and has been overheard saying the school shouldn't even let in Half-bloods or Muggleborn.
• Rebellious: Mackenzie acts out at the best of times, always keen to go on an adventure, especially if it risks getting into trouble.
• House Lestrange: It's said that the Lestranges are all mad… has Mackenzie fallen victim to the bloodline's curse?
• Transfiguration: Mackenzie excels in Transfiguration Class and has become an aide to Professor Enid Pettigrew.
• The Magijugend: Mackenzie joined the club eagerly and was quite vocally put out when it became defunct.

Quirks

• Attractive
• Judgmental
• Impulsive
• Prone to anger

In addition, if the target cannot be seen and pointed at with one's wand, it must be named with the incantation (e.g. "Accio broom!"), which most wizards tend to do habitually anyhow.

Relationships

Family

Tocar Lestrange Father: (1900) Pure-blood. Mackenzie used to have a close relationship with her father until he was sentenced to Azkaban. She still greatly admires him, even though her mother doesn't allow contact with him any longer. Despite the scandal he created, she's not ashamed of him or his place in prison.

Erzsebet Lestrange nee Carrow Mother: (1905) Pure-blood. Mackenzie's mother became suddenly strict and unforgiving when her father was sentenced to Azkaban and she resents it, acting up in any manner possible to cause her distress. Her mother's embarrassment over her father's incarceration disgusts her and makes Mackenzie bitter about their previously close family.

Slytherin

Aiden Ambitious Child: He has high beliefs of his own destiny and is a bit over-eager. Mackenzie figures he'll burn out to sensibility fast enough with the workload.

Alexander Blood traitor: A bully that associates with half-bloods and even mudbloods. Mackenzie and Alexander don't get along, to say the least.

Antonin Housemate: Very serious and focused; Mackenzie wonders the lengths he will go to to obtain the strength he seems to desire.

Bowen Housemate: Mackenzie is fairly certain that Bowen has something of a minor crush on her. She's not terribly interested in him, nor does she actually intend to take him sneaking out with her. He's nice enough company, though.

Riddle Housemate: Mackenzie isn't quite sure what to make out of him yet. He seems to be curtious and likes to follow the rules.

Samira Friend: Mackenzie is fascinated by her and the rumors surrounding her. Are there any truth to them? She's determined to find out.

Gryffindor

Phoenicia Mudblood: The little bastard had the audacity to suggest Mackenzie confide her secrets in her. She might be a bit touched in the head; she also talks to her owl.

Ravenclaw

Tavish Blood traitor: A polite but useless boy who has no regard for his blood status.
