Description
She smells of spirits, usually, and that sets much of the rest of her impression: wasted talent. Mild brown tresses go down just past her chin on a rounded square face, and constantly have the look of someone who started with a well-kept professional hairstyle and then spent the last day or two forgetting to comb it. Dark eyes — often, but not always, slightly bloodshot — peer out at the world from behind large, thick-rimmed and thick-lensed glasses which magnify their size, making it impossible for her to hide even the smallest roll of her eyes or upward pleading glance for a heavenly intercession or at least a meteor that might end her misery.
The short woman wears a dark beige set of ill-fitting robes that make it very difficult to actually tell what kind of shape she has underneath; someone with enough time and insufficient shame could work out that she's been generously curved, but she seems to despise looking at herself.
Background
Jeanette Ophelia Yates was born on December 21, 1905 to a perfectly ordinary Muggle couple, Adam Nicholas Yates and Barbara Odette Yates (née Smith). Adam was a tailor, and Barbara was a housewife, and they had four normal children and went to church every week. There were a few odd events here and there — mysterious chills — but nothing that really grabbed the attention of a busy family.
The illusion was interrupted on Jeanie's 11th birthday, when they got a visit from the Muggle Liaison Officer who told them that Jeanie possessed latent magic — magic she could be taught to harness. Horrified at the idea of their daughter being a witch, they disowned Jeanie on the spot. Five memory charms later, they took it much more smoothly to learn that Jeanie had won a spot in a coveted private school, but the memory of their first reaction was burned into the child.
At Hogwarts, Jeanie was a completely unremarkable Hufflepuff student; she put in serious effort to compensate for exceptionally weak magic and got decent grades, but her only strong performances were in history-heavy subjects, which she absorbed like a sieve; she was fascinated with stories, which were the only escape she had from an awfully boring life.
Jeanie left after obtaining her OWLs and took a job as a Central Department librarian for the Ministry of Magic. But she always dreamed of more; when she was 30, she wrote a self-insert pulp story titled 'Juno Invictus', and sent it into a short story competition for the Daily Prophet. She submitted the tale under the psuedonym 'Zenia', fearing ridicule. After it proved the most popular tale by far, she was approached by the Prophet to write more stories as serials for them; with dreams of fame ahead, she quit her job and accepted immediately.
Reality has been far more tame. While she makes good money, 'Zenia' is far more popular than 'Jeanie Yates' is, and her reputation writing pulp has typecast her as an author. She lives alone in Hogsmeade now; while she introduces herself as Zenia on occasion, most assume the acrid drunkard woman brooding in the bar couldn't possibly be the author of that exciting story.

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. Letters sent to Hogwarts students during the school year will be delivered to Hogwarts (delivered during the morning meal) unless specifically addressed to another post-drop. |

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. |

"Accio" (AK-see-oh) | Movement |
| Causes a target object or creature (but not a sentient Being) at a distance to fly through the air into the caster's hand or arms. The target must be able to be carried under normal human power. This is one of the few spells that does not require line of sight with its target. However, it does require the caster to be able to visualize the target and its location in his or her mind. 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. If the target is being held by another person or creation, the caster must make an Opposed Roll of Mind + Presence against the holder's Body + Reaction in order to wrench the target free of the holder's grasp. Difficulty modifiers can vary. 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. |

| Switching Spell, Lesser |
"Permuto" (pair-MOO-toh) | Transformation |
| Switches are partial transformations in which the features of two targets are swapped for one another. Switching Spells must effectively be cast twice — once on each target to be switched, but only roll for the second one — and both spells must be cast in the same scene. The effect only takes place after the second Switching Spell is cast. If either target is untransfigured, both are. The Lesser Switching Spell can be used for switches on Tiny (or smaller) unintelligent targets. Targets may be a specific part of a larger thing, such as a nose or cup handle. Cross-species switches (switching features between two different living creatures) are not possible with this spell. The following roll modifiers apply. All modifiers are cumulative. • -1 if one of the targets is a living creature. • -2 if either of the features being switched has moving parts. |
