History: Hermione Granger

Personality:
Hermione is very smart and hardworking. This is evidenced by the diligence she pays to her studies. She is more often than not found in the library, a fact that Ron always teases her for. If it wasn't for the fact that she was so studious in everything that she did Harry and Ron probably would have been killed three times over. She takes her studies very seriously, and is very passionate about the causes she believes in. She especially focused her attention on freeing Buckbeak from the ministry's control. She is not against bending the rules for a good cause. She also takes on the cause of freeing House Elves, especially Dobby and Winkie.

Being smart is something that Hermione prides herself on, in fact she is very vocal about how smart she is, and making sure that everyone around her knows it. That attitude often leaves her feeling very isolated and alone. As hard as she tries not to let it, what people think of her matters to Hermione, which is why she was so upset when Ron made fun of her. As the years went on she became less obnoxious about her intelligence, and it became a given that she would know the answers. She not only relied on her magical aptitude, but also logic. She embodies the meshing of the magical and muggle worlds.

Hermione was quite responsible, perfectionistic and well put-together, which led to her being made a prefect during her fifth year. Her responsibility is evidenced by the fact that she is given a time turner to use during third year to take extra classes, something that no other third year student was allowed to do. Hermione was very diligent about not breaking the rules involving the time turning, and as such Ron and Harry never knew she had it until she used it to save Buckbeak.

Opinionated and bossy are words that could be used to describe Hermione. She was content to share her opinions and tell people what to do at every turn. She was never one to shy away from a fight or a good debate. It was the reason that she succeeded in almost everything she did, because she was too stubborn and tenacious to give up on anything. That nature, however, is only a mask to hide her insecurities for her fear of failure. Hermione took not being a pureblood witch very seriously, and she was determined to prove her worth to the magical community and not let herself get bullied.

Hermione tried to remain unaffected by the effects the war had on her, but that wasn't always possible. She was a bright, eager eyed witch. She wasn't hardened by the cruelty of war when she first started at Hogwarts. Helping Harry was supposed to be a onetime thing, and then she would go back to her studies and excelling at everything she did. She hadn’t counted on being outsmarted by a troll or the boys saving her. Hermione is a very loyal creature, and Ron and Harry saving her in first year, bonded them for life. A life debt is a very precious thing in the magical world, and it one that Hermione took very seriously. She became less bossy and trolly as the effects of Harry's journey took their toll on all of them, none more so than Hermione. Her know-it-all-ness seemed to lessen to a certain degree as the years went on. She knew she was the smartest witch in her class, but she gained confidence in helping and befriending Harry that she did not need the constant pats on the back that she once did.

Hermione is very strong independent woman, but she is also a woman who is not afraid to show emotion as well. This is especially evident in the last books, specifically when Ron leaves them at Godrick's Hollow. She is visibly shaken, and very emotional as she watches him leave, the tears streaming down her face. She knows what their mission is, but that doesn't mean she always has to like it. She allows herself to be vulnerable with Harry at his parents’ grave site, because Harry stuck by her when Ron left, and she trusted him to catch her if she fell.

There were two really defining moments in Hermione's life that shaped the person that she became after the war. The first was the Golden Trio's capture and torture at Malfoy manor. Bella took special interest in Hermione, especially when she noticed Godric Gryffindor's sword. In her panic, Bella revealed some truth's to Hermione regarding the location of another Horcrux. Bella decided that it would a game to torture Hermione using the Cruciatus Curse. Many more powerful witches have broken under this cruse, but Hermione didn't. It made her stronger, tougher. She withstood the curse, and using her smarts, managed to tell Bella that they had a fake sword. Hermione got her first significant would when Bella sliced her throat as they were escaping. Knowing that she could withstand torture, made Hermione even more determined to help Harry defeat Voldemort. She found an inner strength deep within herself to survive torture and the war, and it is a strength that she carried with her throughout her life, well past the war. She was totally out of control, and she never wants to feel that way again.

Hermione made the most difficult decision of her life when she decided that in order to keep her parents safe, she had to take all of their memories of her away. She is a very skilled witch, so it was easy for her to do the spell, but the decision that brought her there was the most difficult that she has ever made in her life. One that still haunts her to this day. It takes a very strong and determined person to take away the only family she ever knew in order to protect them. The way that she carries herself after she went home, carries an air of determination and sadness around with her, one that never seemed to go away. She believes that she has to succeed in everything she does now, otherwise everything that she gave up would be for naught, and that is an unacceptable conclusion.

Hermione would find Teleios intriguing,once she figured out what it was, she would feel that she truly belonged there. Hermione still copes with the guilt over what she did to her parents, plus what she decided to do in order to help Harry in his quest.She would strive to excellence in her job, and make a life for herself.

Powers/Abilities: Magical aptitude: She was the first in the class to master any spell. She even knows things that they hadn't even taught yet. She can read a spell and perform it on the first try. She tries spells that most of her contemporaries haven't even heard of.

Non-verbal and wandless magic: Hermione mastered this skill during sixth year, and continued to build on her prowess. Hermione was always well ahead of the curve as far as learning things goes, so it makes sense that she would know how to do both non-verbal and wandless magic.

Dueling: Hermione is a skilled dueler. She may not be on the same level as Harry, but she can hold her own against powerful wizards. Her slyness and cunning also gives her the element of surprise. She is often underestimated.

Appearance: Hermione has bushy brown hair when we first meet her, but over the years she has mastered a few spells to tame the wild beast that is her hair. She has brown eyes and a soft smile. She usually has a quiet tone to her speech, unless she is agitated about something, then it gets higher and sharper. She magically shrunk her teeth during fourth year, and has a scar on her arm from the time she spent at Malfoy Manor. She does use glamours when she has to dress up.

Her style would be considered classic, shabby chic. She is comfortable in most things, and can be mostly found wearing business casual. Hermione carries herself with an air of confidence that most people her age don't possess. She carries herself somewhat stiffly until until she gets to know someone then her body posture reflects how she feels about you.

Actionspam Sample:
[Hermione appears on the screen, looking very beat up, a long thin scar is visible across her neck, and she is soaking wet, looking very frustrated and displeased with the whole situation.]

Is this some sort of joke? Some sort of spell to separate us? [She raises her chin, daring anyone to tell her any different. Her face is a cross between righteous anger, and abject fear.]

This can't be happening. I did not give everything up, just to have it all end now. Would someone please for the love of Merlin explain to me where in the bloody hell I am?

[She starts pacing a little. It always helps her think. she stops, facing the camera, smiling sweetly.

My apologies. That was awfully rude of me to speak in such a manner. You see, this is not where I'm supposed to be. There was a war, and we were winning I believe. The war was over, and I was supposed to finish my education, not end up.... here. [she gestures around her ]

Where ever here is mind you. I'm sure it's a lovely place.... it's just not what I had planned. I"m sure there has got to be a way to figure out how to get out of here..... right?
