DESCRIPTION: (2 PARAGRAPHS +)
Solanum’s look is chameleon. Just when you get used to her hair and dress one way she switches it up. The only constant are her chestnut eyes and smile. She is rarely seen without it. Her figure would be what some would call hourglass. She is full figured without being fat. With makeup she can look years older which is why she saves it for special occasions and rarely does she wear as much at school.
Her wardrobe as stated is varied when out of school uniform. Her favorite apparel item would have to be shoes. She has to keep her clothing to within reason as her grandmother loathes all things muggle so she hides more than a few things from the old battle axe. If she were to find said items she would find varied colors and some not so complete outfits fit for public consumption. She wears a re-sized family crest ring that once belonged to her father that has blue sapphires and is made of platinum. The family crest is a falcon. The ring doubles as a personalized stamp to sign documents requiring the family wax seal.

LIKES: Books, Spell Casting, Potion making, Music, Ballet, and Gardening.
DISLIKES: House Elves, Muggles (Except Michael Jackson who she thinks is magical), Gryffindor’s, Hufflepuff’s, Ravenclaw’s, Slughorn, McGonagall, and Dumbledore.

WEAKNESSES: Short Temper, Lack of Patience with others, and an Ability to not be Sympathetic/Apathetic.
BOGGART: (GREATEST FEAR) Werewolf
PATRONUS: (FORM/BEST MEMORY) Black Swan/First act of magic
DESCRIPTION: (2 PARAGRAPHS +)
Solanum loves all things dark. A trait she inherited and that is nurtured by her grandmother who is raising her due to the untimely and suspicious demise of her parents. She loves knowledge of all things magical above all else. She loves when she is so focused that she blocks out the world. A rare occurrence since beginning school at Hogwarts.
Solanum doesn’t have friends she has associates. She tolerates their presence and ignores them when they annoy her. Not that they would notice. Mostly they are around her for status. Blood status. Then again it could be fear of her. Better to be her friend than her enemy as many of her classmates find out. Others know not to bother her when she’s studying unless it’s an emergency.

BIOGRAPHY: (3 PARAGRAPH +)
Solanum was born to Scorpio and Sheryl Saxton after much difficulty in conceiving. They had thought they would never have a child because of an illness Sheryl had contracted from a muggle as a child. When she was born it was a happy and sad occasion. After giving birth her mother was told that there would be no more children and then she proceeded to spoil Solanum. Solanum was a happy and curious baby and then toddler. If she could pick it up she would stare at whatever it was for hours. Her grandmother Dame Celestine thought her possibly dim because of it. Her father Scorpio disregarded his mother and assured her Solanum was just very curious as to what things were.
Solanum soon proved how not dim she was. Her first act of magic happened by accident. The lowest family house elf made the mistake of giving her milk that was too hot. Solanum somehow set him on fire. Instead of calling for help she sat and watched it burn. Being a house elf it couldn’t save itself or call out. Other house elves watched on in horror. They watched the fire dance in her eyes. Her mother was the one to put out the elf but too late. Her parents scolded her on doing such a horrible thing. Not because of her magical outburst but because she did not help the house elf. On the other hand her grandmother was practically excited. She scooped Solanum into her arms and praised her magical outburst and the result. Her parents called it sickening and forbid her grandmother Celestine from ever seeing her and banned her from the main house relegating her to the guest house. They couldn’t ban her from the property because of Scorpio’s fathers will.
Their fate was sealed and Dame Celestine put her plan into action secretly. She had faithful house elves inside the house who helped her to get back inside. No one knew of Solanum’s magical outburst except her parents and the house elves and even those who didn’t like the Dame feared her enough to keep quiet on the events of that night. Celestine used Solanum to kill her parents. When the Auror’s arrived there was nothing but burnt indentations and ashes in the bed of her parents. The investigation was thorough and no stone was left unturned. They were puzzled because no dark magic was found to be used. In the end it was ruled magical spontaneous combustion by one and immediate death of the other. The case was closed and Dame Celestine was free to raise Solanum as she saw fit.
From the age of one Solanum was taught that Muggles were only useful for what they could give them and then were to be disposed of. The same with house elves. Dame Celestine treated most of the magical world around her like servants and she expected Solanum to do the same. Celestine valued magical power above all else unless it conflicted with blood. She wanted Solanum to be the most powerful witch to ever walk the earth and with her tutelage she would see to it personally. Dame Celestine was livid when she had to send Solanum not only away to school but to a school that housed Muggles. It was that or Durmstrang but that was too far out of her reach for the Dame’s liking so Hogwarts it was. Celestine sent Solanum off with the best of everything. Books, clothes, and most importantly her wand. Nothing but the best for her granddaughter. Celestine had taken her to a wand maker in Knockturn Alley instead of the expected Ollivander’s. She wanted Solanum to have a unique wand which meant most likely an illegal wand made of rare wood and core. What was the point of money if you couldn’t use it to be naughty she told Solanum. The first time seeing Solanum off was the hardest but she was sending her off to learn great things.
Solanum from the beginning liked nothing at Hogwarts. She didn’t like the train ride, she didn’t like the boat ride, she definitely didn’t like the sorting hat, she didn’t like the food, she didn’t like the students, but most of all she didn’t like the Professors. They were so morally upstanding compared to her grandmother. She considered walking out but she couldn’t go to Durmstrang because her grandmother wouldn’t allow it and if she left she wouldn’t be allowed to practice magic for a long time. Hogwarts was the only place she could legally do magic. So Solanum pushed through and learned all she could from what her grandmother called wanting professors.
SAMPLE POST: ( A SAMPLE OF THIS CHARACTER AS REPRESENTATION OF YOUR AVERAGE POST)
Solanum found such little pleasure in anything to do at Hogwarts. That was until she took up quidditch. Not that she liked flying. No, she just liked hitting bludgers at people. There was just something about smacking that bludger and aiming it for a member of the other team. Didn’t matter what position as long as they went sailing off their broom. Solanum of course had to be careful so as not to get banned from quidditch let alone the school itself for trying to kill a student. Injury was expected. Murder would get you Azkaban however.
She made Beater when she almost took off the head of the Slytherin quidditch captain during tryouts. He was upset but he was more impressed. He did tell her to save it for the other houses. From that moment on when their opposing team caught sight of her in the great hall before a match they knew she was ready. It was the way she twirled her bat like she twirled her wand when she was ready for a fight. Her long oval nails were usually a color to match her mood. Black meant a bad day for whoever was on the end of a bludger she managed to hit. Red meant someone was going to hospital wing. Thankfully the professors didn’t know the code.
They were set to face the Gryffindor’s that day and after a nasty confrontation with Potter she was ready to take his block off. The boy truly thought the sun rose and shone on him and rainbows and hearts shot out of his butt. Solanum planned on deflating that ego for him just a little bit if that was possible. She doubted it but there was no harm in trying. Her nails were a vamp red today. She made a point of walking by the Gryffindor table.
“Look Potter.†she said waving her nails. “All for you.â€
She didn’t wait to see the look on his face but went to eat what little she would. Solanum had a goal and his name was James Potter. Winning was always a perk but causing pain was better.
