APPEARANCE
------------------------------------------------------------
HAIR COLOR: Dark Brown.
EYE COLOR: Hazel.
HEIGHT: 5’6
BODY TYPE: Slender.
SKIN COLOUR: Caucasian.
GENERAL APPEARANCE:
Philippa inherited her mother’s slender, gangly frame. Although Philippa missed out on the height gene from both sides of the family, she is all leg. Her torso is quite short, adding emphasis to the long, slender leg. If she were a high-heel type of girl than that would add even more emphasis to the creamy limbs. She is not beautiful by any means but neither is she ugly. If Philippa had a category then it would most likely be ‘plain’. She is not nearly as attractive as her elder sister but that suits her just fine. She is happy to be overlooked because she can get away with a lot more. She is pretty in her own mischievous way though with her long, triangular nose and slightly pointed yet rounded chin. She had a circular face and it changes as her weight fluctuates. Her face can be full and rounded at times and gaunt and sunken as other times. She has oddly small feet and long, fingers to balance the oddity out. She has a mole underneath her left eye and several on her right cheek although they’re not nearly as defined as that particular one. She has thin, Cupid’s bow lips that finish her off and she looks overall like a small child. However, childhood only lasts on the body so long and from some angles she looks shockingly beyond her years.

PERSONALITY:
Philippa is an excitable mess of a girl. She’s bright, sporty and loves the outdoors. She loves her sport, more so than she does her books which is a hard to beat. When she came to Hogwarts she developed a love of her books yet she never forgot sport. Philippa is competitive, flirty and tomboy-esque. She hates skirts, tights and anything to do with that sort of thing. She’s tough emotionally and doesn’t take any crap. She has a thing for older men, though – something which she loves yet doesn’t exactly understand. She doesn’t know why but she finds them sexy – it’s a turn on. Anyone older than her by at least six or seven years is good news in her book. Philippa wants to branch out a hell of a lot more but how she hasn’t exactly decided yet. She’s working on it, though. She wants to understand magic, understand why she has magic. She might be flighty, unpredictable and strange but she has a good head on her shoulders.

CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Early Years:
Philippa was born in Brighton, England in the May of 2009. She didn’t remain there for long though. Her father’s job with the RAF meant that they were constantly having to move from base to base, from country to country and when Philippa was born, their next stop was Australia. It is unknown as to why William was there but the facts state that he was and that is all Philippa concerns herself with. It was in Australia that she spent her first few years, completely ignorant to the world around her. She began to walk and talk there. She became more aware of herself there. She was five when they moved back to Britain, just starting school. Her siblings were more irate than she was at the move, though. Philippa hadn’t made many friends at her pre-school. She’d found it difficult to socialise with the children her age, preferring the elder ones instead. This didn’t concern her parents as much as it should have done at all. Generally, by her mother, Philippa was ignored.
When Philippa started Primary School, she excelled in both sports and academics much to the chagrin of her mother and elder sister who had both struggled with the former. Her father and brother encouraged her sportiness, often taking her to football matches at the weekends and rugby matches during Half-term. Usually they’d make a week out of that, driving to Wales from Manchester where they’d moved, and go to the different games on. She excelled particularly in football and rugby – what a surprise – but showed aptitude for swimming, gymnastics and other such sports. Her mother encouraged the swimming, sending her off to be taught, at the local swimming pool, how to dive. The tutelage got her several medals and she developed a rather large crush on her instructor during that.
When Philippa received her Hogwarts letter, she was sceptical yet at the same time pleased. A Ministry Official visited her family and explained to her the magical world as well as informing them. Her father was reluctant to let her go into the world but was supportive all the same. She visited Diagon Alley with her father and her brother a week later, accompanied by a Ministry Official. Then, on September 1st, Philippa boarded the train to Hogwarts.
Hogwarts Years:
When she arrived at Hogwarts, Philippa, like all of the other students her age, went through the sorting process. The hat was placed upon her head and came to the conclusion that she belonged in ___. Even at Hogwarts, where she was the same as everyone else, Philippa found it difficult to make friends. She did truly feel different and delved into her studies like any normal Muggeborn would. She wanted to catch up. She wanted to be the best she could be. She even pushed herself during flying lessons. She was crestfallen to find that she could neither fly well nor play Quidditch as she would liked to. She was a disappointment to herself but she soon got over it, realising that she could smuggle a football onto the grounds in her trunk if she was so inclined.
As the years progressed, Philippa remained the same for the most part – at least emotionally. She was fit, sporty and well put together. Now, she’s worrying about her O.W.L’s. She has to find the balance between fun and studies. To be honest, she’s finding that difficult. Still, she’s trying.
