Name:	Medea Summerbee

Birthday:	December 31, 1924

Lineage:	Pure-blood

Description

Medea is a generously-curved young woman of rather unimpressive height (perhaps a touch over five feet in flat shoes if she's standing as perfectly straight as possible). Though she was more slender in her earlier years, she's gained a luxurious, Rubenesque profile now that she's well on her way to proper adulthood. She has long tresses of burnished blonde hair that fall in cascades from either side of her face; her locks frame a bright, easy smile, thanks in part to a slightly broad nose and rosy dimpled cheeks with full lips set into a rounded face. A few stray hairs fall about her bright blue eyes once in a while, though normally she's impeccably put together. All-in-all, there's no denying that she's a pretty and vivacious young woman.

Background

Medea was born on December 31st, 1924 in Bedford, Bedfordshire to Cassius Archibald Summerbee and Nora Summerbee (née Merrythought). The first of three children, Medea has the uncomfortable distinction of being close to a decade older than her siblings: 8-year-old Connor Dermot Summerbee — named for his grandfathers — and 6-year-old Persephone Summerbee. For whatever reason, her mother and father waited ages to try for more children and are quite happy with those they have now, though it makes Medea feel that she's rather something of a secondary mother when home on the holidays and helping mind them! Her immediate family is tight-knit and she enjoys a warm relationship with both sets of grandparents; she takes regular trips to Ireland to see the Merrythoughts when she's not in London back with the Summerbees. She does sometimes feel a bit isolated from her parents, as it occasionally seems as though they are entirely consumed with raising and managing her younger siblings. Her family is quite well-to-do; her mother works as a local healer and midwife, and her father is a celebrated scholar of magical history and runic translation — a field she has followed him into, in some respects. Though she is not spoiled, she is used to having material wants and needs satisfied; privation is a foreign concept to her.

Encouraged in her academic pursuits, Medea took after her father and ended up in Ravenclaw when she was sorted at Hogwarts. She began her schooling in 1935 and progressed quickly, doing Outstanding or Excellent in all her O.W.L.s before following her father into the advanced study of Ancient Runes. For her second elective, she took Arithmancy, finding herself to have an excellent head for number magic. No one can have everything, however; her Herbology and Magical Creatures studies were only middling compared to the rest of her marks. For her N.E.W.T. classes to start this school year, Medea has elected to pursue Arithmancy, Charms, and the Study of Ancient Runes. Despite being an avid Quidditch fan, actually playing seems beyond the girl and she hasn't ventured onto the pitch except as part of pick-up games or for fun. She is an avid participant in the Art, Books, and Domestics clubs and is a keen amateur photographer who enjoys pestering friends for photographs and experimenting with new angles and lighting.

Entering her sixth year, Medea has gained a reputation for her friendly, vivacious manner in a house often (rightly or wrongly) viewed as a den of detached arrogance. The witch is a young woman of apparent contradictions: she's an incorrigible flirt with both sexes, but she prefers the company of a book to a social function; she's eager to set out on her own with her OWLs behind her, but she's a protective den mother to the younger students of her house; she's inquisitive and hyperactive until she finds an interesting puzzle and becomes hyperfocused instead. Medea's plans for the future are a little uncertain, but she still has some time to sort out whether she'll take a sensible academic career in the History of Magic or Study of Ancient Runes, or instead pursue the risky, glamorous life of a Curse-Breaker like in her favorite adventure stories.

Academics

Wand

Nine inches, maple, quite stiff, with a unicorn hair core.

Pet

Unlike other students who keep an owl, Medea prefers a cat as she can use the school's owls to send messages whenever she likes. Her cat, an Arabian Mau named Aphrodite, is a bratty, affectionate little thing who shows all the usual catty habits such as sleeping in subeams, roaming around at odd hours, and finding her way into places where he shouldn't be. When not with her mistress, she's usually begging for food or knocking student's scrolls off their desks or something else equally aggravating. She also has the habit of staring and there are rumors that she reports what she hears to Medea, but that's just silly talk.

Unlike some other students, Medea has never really struggled. She has a keen mind and loves school and her academics reflect that. She is an excellent student, though she's worse off in some subjects than others, probably more due to a lack of interest in the subject than any deficiency in knowledge or ability. She's consistently scored Es and Os in almost all her subjects through her years at Hogwarts, the except being Herbology, which rather bores her, and so her effort is low, resulting in a string of As in sharp contrast to her other grades.

In extra-curricular activities, she happily cheers on the house quidditch team and is an active member of Art club, where she attempts some poetry but mostly focuses on her camera, the Books club, which is where she met one of her best friends, and the Domestics club. Entering her sixth year, she's eager and ready to get her NEWTs in Ancient Runes, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, and Charms done and get out in the real world. Of course, it's a heavy workload but she's determined that she'll meet the requirements for Curse-Breaker if she needs to.

A wizard can also attune the post-drop so the charm is only a beacon to certain owls. This charm can also be used on a letter or package to assign it to the listed address (but not a specific person), even if that address is not designated as a post-drop.

The charm does not grant any additional strength to the caster, that could not be pulled with a normal rope cannot be pulled with this charm, either. If attempting to pull a moving target, such as a large creature, there is a serious risk of the wand being yanked from the caster's hand (likely requiring a Body + Reaction roll to keep hold of the wand long enough to release the spell), or even pulling the caster unceremoniously along with the target.

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.

The following modifiers are cumulative: • +2 if target is extremely familiar to the caster (e.g. your own wand, a favourite book) • +2 if specific name of target is known (e.g. summoning a book by its title)*. • –2 if target is not in line of sight. • –2 if target has never been seen by the caster. • –4 if caster guessing at target's location. *Only applies if target has a proper name.

"-fors" (-fors)

Transformation

The Standard Transformation Spell can be used to fully transform a Small (or smaller) unintelligent target into something else of Small (or smaller) size. Trans-species transformation (transfiguring one living creature into another) is not possible with this spell. Partial transformations are not possible, except as a result of the spell going awry. The following roll modifiers apply. All modifiers are cumulative. • +2 if the target and final form share a common quality, such as name*, shape, function, or material. • -1 if the target is (or will become) a living creature. • -2 if the shape being changed into has moving parts. *Odd as it sounds, it is easier to transform a target into something with a similar name (e.g. guinea pig to guinea fowl, toadstool to footstool) The prefix for this spell's incantation can vary greatly, depending upon what the target is being transformed into. Usually it will be some derivative of the Latin name for the thing. For example, if turning the target into a book, one might incant "Librofors".

Relationships

Phoenicia Books club buddy: Phee is a lovely girl that Medea knows both from some of her classes over the years and from the Books club. Medea counts her as one of her closer friends, a relationship that got its spark a couple of years ago when they found they both shared a love for the same sort of trashy pulp adventure novels.

Aiden Baby cousin: Aiden is Medea's younger cousin on her mother's side. She doesn't know all that well, though she did spend some time minding him and so-forth the few times she's gone to visit her mum's side of the family over the summer holiday. She wants to try and keep an eye out for him now that he's started at Hogwarts.

Cassius Archibald Summerbee Father: (1899 - ?) Pureblood Medea admires and looks up to her father, who has always been a bit doting and inclined to indulge his oldest child. This is especially true because she shares his interest in runes, arithmancy, and magical history! She is very close to him and tries to write at least once a week. ((Open for Creation.))

Nora Summerbee nee Merrythought Mother: (1902 - ?) Pureblood As with her father, Medea has a close, loving relationship with her mother. Though she hasn't followed her mother in terms of interests, they are close and Medea stays in touch as much as she can. ((Open for Creation.))

Connor Summerbee Younger brother: (1933 - ?) Pureblood Medea loves her younger brother and sister, really. She just has a hard time relating to them since they're so much younger than her! Still, when she's home she happily minds them and keeps them company to help out her mum and keep things running smoothly. ((Open for Creation.))

Persephone Summerbee Younger sister: (1935 - ?) Pureblood As with her younger brother Connor, Medea has some difficulty really connecting with her younger sister, especially since she's gone most of the year at school. She has an easier time with Persephone, who she's already trying to get interested in some of her favorite books from when she was younger. ((Open for Creation.))
