FATHER :: malcolm baddock, early 30’s, neutral.(“i’m not quite sure what daddy’s career is, to be honest. i’m surprised he isn’t working for the Dark Lord. is it mean of me to say that? i’m sort of assuming since he was in Slytherin. which isn’t very nice, i suppose.)
MOTHER :: laura baddock (nee madley), early 30’s, stay at home mom, the order.
SIBLINGS :: emmaline is an only child.
SIGNIFICANT OTHERS :: none.
PETS :: an absolutely adorable pygmy puff that's a beautiful indigo shade. emmaline named the little darling piper.
[/blockquote]
WAND ::
10 in., willow, unicorn hair.
LANGUAGES ::
English and that’s it. emmaline is sometimes annoyed when others speak in a language she doesn’t know around her. she likes knowing what people are saying and that’s not very easy when she can’t understand them.
MAGICAL HIGHS & LOWS ::
emmaline is absolutely brilliant in charms. she is the top of her class and has even tutored a few of her peers. along with charms, emmaline is quite talented when it comes to transfiguration and herbology. emmaline has a nice little garden at home that she tends to whenever she visits during the holidays. emmaline is particularly good at casting charms and defense spells.
unfortunately, emmaline has much trouble doing well in history of magic. it’s quite possibly the hardest class for her to be in as she can barely stay awake and has no care in the world for history. along with this, she can’t seem to do her best in potions or divination. (she actually quite likes the idea of divination, she just can’t very well understand it in the cryptic way that it’s taught). hexes are something she prefers to avoid using and she does her best to avoid fights in general.
SPECIAL ABILITIES ::
her parents are teaching her occlumency but as of now, emmaline is nowhere near mastering the ability.
PATRONUS ::
emmaline most definitely can cast a patronus and she’s quite proud of this. her mother, who was part of the DA during her second year at Hogwarts and knew how to cast one successfully, taught her daughter in preparation for dementor attacks. (“when am i ever going to be attacked by a dementor, though?”) when able to cast a full patronus, which isn’t often as she has trouble concentrating, the animal form is that of a field mouse. it really isn’t intimidating which can describe emmaline in some ways.
OTHER TALENTS ::
emmaline is quite the talented baker. upon her visits home, she spends a lot of time in the kitchen, making delicious pastries for her loved ones. cakes, cookies, brownies, breads, muffins and more. emmaline taught herself for the most part. one day, she was craving lemon poppy seed muffins and so she went about finding a recipe and ended up with a giant book of just that. from that day on, she’s been making all sorts of things from the cookbook.
emmaline doodled a lot before she received her letter from Hogwarts. when she wasn’t baking or practicing magic, she was drawing on blank pieces of parchment or on the back of a letter. the simple swirls, flowers, trees, stick figures and houses turned into much more beautiful pieces of art. things that were realistic and, perhaps her favorite part, still. unlike all of the pictures and paintings she was so familiar with, these drawings of hers didn’t move and there was some sort of comfort in that.

PARAGRAPH FORMAT ::
emmaline grew up being told that you should treat others as you’d want them to treat you. because of this, she’s quite friendly and will be as nice as she possibly can. of course, upon her arrival at Hogwarts, emmaline learned that there are people who don’t care about how nice she is. mostly, it seemed that those slytherins were going to be mean to her, no matter what. this led to emmaline’s stubborn attitude and protectiveness of some. she’s quite the ox, disagreeing strongly when it comes to something important to her. as an only child, emmaline feels some need to be protective over others being bullied, particularly younger students.
perhaps the reason she does so well in her classes is because of how quick a learner she is. emmaline is like a sponge, as her father would say, and understands things sooner than most. unfortunately, she’s quite forgetful and this is another reason she dislikes history of magic. how could one remember all of those dates and names? when it comes to her work and essays, she’s a bit of a perfectionist. she likes for her parchment to be nice and neat, with no random ink droplets or messy handwriting. this all depends, though, on whether or not she ends up finishing the work. she’s indecisive for the most part and is never sure what to choose. which assignment to work on first, what to have for breakfast, what to wear that day.
emmaline believes that friendly leads to polite and this is why she’s usually kind to most (or those older than her, anyway). emmaline always treats professors with the utmost regard and is very respectful to her parents and upper classmen (a spiffy term she learned from some book by an author from the States). suppose one were to compliment or humiliate her, though, and she won’t be quite thankful or quick to retaliate as she’s easily embarrassed. this is perhaps the only time she isn’t polite as she can’t really manage a ‘thank you’ without blushing and stammering.

BIRTHPLACE :: Farnborough, London, England.
HISTORY ::
emmaline was born on a sunny march evening. she grew up in quite the household, one where magic was used often. her parents had both attended Hogwarts and intended for their daughter to do just the same. for most of her childhood, emmaline drew and baked. she spent plenty of time with her parents and was often taken on fun little field trips to the zoo or museum. it was a nice, calm and peaceful childhood and she was raised well. her magic didn’t make an appearance until her ninth birthday when she accidentally set the curtains on fire. they headed to diagon alley as soon as she received her letter and she was the proud owner of a fancy new wand which she loved dearly. soon enough, emmaline was headed to Hogwarts via king’s cross station. next thing she knew, she was on the train, waving goodbye to her parents.
emmaline was sorted into Hufflepuff, the house she’d learned was for the just, loyal, patient and unafraid of toil. she was quite happy with the placement. she immediately befriended her housemates and quite a few others. it seemed, though, that she wouldn't have a very good chance at being friendly with the Slytherins. it made her vaguely wonder what it must've been like when her father was in school. had he been as cruel as her classmates? she made it through her first year quite peacefully. she figured out pretty soon which classes were her favorites and which weren't. she understood who she could trust and who she couldn't. year two wasn’t all that different. in fact, it was quite alright.
her fourteenth birthday, celebrated at Hogwarts, brought about a new interest in Herbology. the particular lesson that day fascinated her and she began a little garden at home. mostly regular old flowers and the occasional fruit, taken care of during her visits home. years three and four were a bit more dramatic, though she wasn’t sure why. maybe she was growing up or something, but emmaline was much more outspoken and stubborn than usual. either way, a few noticed her changing and her parents certainly did. “it’s not a big deal,” she insisted and proceeded to work even harder with her school work. this sudden responsibility led to better grades in history of magic and divination, which she was proud of.
now in her fifth year, emmaline is at the top of her Charms class and is doing splendidly in Transfiguration and Herbology. she tries her very best at those classes that give her trouble. she’s also been trying to avoid Slytherins as of late, what with the whole new Dark Lord thing. it’s tough, though, as she so stubborn and protective. she’s not afraid, per say, just cautious. lately, she’s been thinking about her future and her career. as she’s so skilled in Charms, and healing apparently, she’s considering a position at St. Mungo’s. but then again, how great would it be to hang out at home, just improving her current talents? why not become a famous pastry chef? (“darn indecisiveness.”)
