Celebrity Claim: Rosie Huntington-Whitley
Profession: Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Her job. She can’t help but excersize a little extra punishment every now and again.
Strengths:
- Her wit. She was in Ravenclaw, actually. Slytherins are idiots to her. Focusing on besting Gryffindors and not studying was never her mission, even from the start. She wanted Ravenclaw so she could be undisturbed as she honed her abilities. And it was easy just to let the sorting hat know by thinking it, even though it had suggested Slytherin. After all, her mother was a studious, goody two-shoe Ravenclaws before her and her kind, generous father attended Durmstrang as a star pupil.
- Her employment. She knows every loophole, and knows everyone she needs as a means to someone else's end.
- Her planning. She can co-ordinate even the most imbisilic of companions, even if it means giving them painfully simple tasks and praying they are just capeable enough for it.
- Lo is excellent with the Imperius and killing curses. Extraordinarily useful, they are.
Weaknesses:
- Her boggart is herself, a powerless muggle.
- Her hatred for Blood traitors. Now they are people to hate. Given the beautiful gift of being pure-blood and ruining it? Pure treachery to the wizarding kind. But Loraine is logical. Muggleborns and half-bloods can’t help their birth, and as long as they don’t go on to taint a bloodline or join in on a silly rights or equality debate she doesn’t mind. Not that she’d associate with Muggleborns, but she wouldn’t kill them just for fun. However, again, if they take up arms she doesn’t mind cleaning up the world a little. Naturally, she’ll masquerade an upmost hatred of everyone and everthing that moves that isn’t pureblood before others. After all, she can’t expect the others to comprehend her obvious logic. They’re idiots, and she has great difficulty controlling her appalled rage in their presence.
- Sweets. She hates them, they're a distraction. But she loves them, oh so much.
- Her distance from everyone, even allies.
- Her transfiguration. Even though she was a quailty Ravenclaw, she never quite nailed the skill.
Personality: Loraine is smart. She’s quick on her feet, a smooth liar, and can pass herself off as anything. She hates clichés, happy people, and most people in generel. She has severed ties with everyone, has not close friends, and only speaks to people if she has to. She’s an anti-social extrovert, and when she does speak she says whatever she needs to in order to get what she wants. There are few people she appreciates as wise or worthy of respect, but she’s not ignorant. For instance, she appreciates and commends the achievements of people like Lord Voldemort, Albus Dumbledore, Gellert Grindelwald, wandmakers, accomplished aurors, and even Bathilda Bagshot. They are all excellent at what they do, regardless of Loraine’s own agreement or disagreement. She’s not blinded by her own opinions, from her own perspective that is. Eventually, she believes that she will figure out how Voldemort himself got to be so powerful and do just the same. But stay drop dead sexy, of course. The LeStranges, the Malfoys, the... most other Death Eaters, really, she has a strong distaste for. In her opinion, they’re all doing this all wrong. Unfotunately, many Death Eaters have the devotion, but not the sanity. The Malfoys are too emotional, and everyone else are just idiots. If she could get away with, she have a thing or two to lecture even Lord Voldemort on. Except, of course, she’s aware of her own mortality.
When she talks, she speaks in quick, short sentences and her only sense of humor is a fake laugh, and smirk or two, and an occasional deeply-hurtful quip. She is magnificently efficient with spells, dueling, and knowledgeable about everything from potions to charms to muggle habits. Another love of hers are vegetables, actually. She likes to munch on Edamame beans and frozen kernels of corn. She has a detailed knowledge of geography and Russian. Loraine think extraordinarily highly of herself: she know's she's good. But she'd doesn't flaunt it unless the persone she is with is being arrogant. In that case, it's only right to put whomever it is in their place.
Family
- Mother and Father: Andrick Mitislav Jems and Jennifer Loranie Jems(nee Emerson). Her father’s mother was Russian, but her father’s father was British which is why her last name isn’t Russian. The Russian family name is the male conjugation of Loraine’s middle name Akilina, which means to be like an eagle.
- Siblings: James Andrick-Mitislav Jems, her brother who lived to only age two.
- Other family members: n/a
History:Up until age ten, Loraine was normal. Likely even on her way to being a blood traitor. Loraine was raised without the beliefs and biases of most purebloods, but just a powerful a family- so her family had few enemies. But things change in a person when they watch their baby brother tortured by the Cruciatus Curse by an insane man in a Death Eater’s mask, and finally killed after eight straight hours of torture. Especially so, when that person has the reaction that Loraine did. Her horror, as she was held back by another Death Eater to watch in the absence of her parents (who were visiting Russia), was overridden by an irrepressible and irrefutable desire. A flaming, filling desire to never again be so powerless.
It was then and there, as the Death Eaters began the very same curse as had been used on her brother moments ago, that she made her choice on where her life would head. A decision that filled her and darkened her so much, that she was hardly aware of the pain. After all, this would never again happen.
So as another year went by, Loraine delved into the dark arts masking the interest with the excuse “studying so that she’ll be able to keep up with the other Ravenclaws.” Which, of course, won over her parents who were distracted and guilty enough about her brother’s death. They let her do whatever she wanted, no questions asked. And it was with this same method, refined and perfected over the years, of passing herself off however needed, she made her way into the circle of Death Eaters and to her chosen career in the Ministry. Magical Law Enforcement was a perfect area to begin to work her way to Ministress of Magic.
