Country: Repiblik Sesel
Name: Gabriela-Lisette Campanel
Age: 15
Personality: Gabriela can seem rather aloof and stubborn at times—well, stubborn all of the time, but not necessarily aloof—and other times a little… well, overly flirtatious. She has an underlying feeling that muggleborns are beneath her, but doesn’t show it in the company of others. She has a sharp mind and even sharper tongue, however, and isn’t opposed to letting people get a feel of how bad she can be. Gabriela is quick with a wand and feels a distinct need to show off at times. She doesn’t like studying much, but she does it anyway to uphold the expectations set for her and her fellow Ravenclaws. But when it comes down to it—well, when you get to know her, really—she’s very kind hearted and cares (sometimes too much) for the people that matter to her.
About the Country: The Seychelles archipelago consists of 155 islands discovered in 1502. Seychelles was originally discovered by the Austronesian nations (Madagascar, China, Taiwan, etc.), then later by the French. Before Jean Moreau de Séchelles discovered the islands, they were sometimes used for pirates to come to and from.
In 1794 the British Empire took control of the Seychelles islands, then again in1810. Eventually this changed and Seychelles was back under French control, then the two nations declared neutrality over the islands. In 1976, however, was when Seychelles gained full independence from both nations.
Currently there are many threats of pirate attacks and ships have been hijacked, including cargo going to the Seychelles from Denmark, and a couple on a yacht from England.
House: Ravenclaw
Year: Fifth year
Blood Type: Pureblood
Best Class: Charms
Worst Class: Potions
Anything Else?:
♫ Gabriela is just recently moved into Hogwarts from the Académie de Magie Beauxbâtons (the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic). She is looking around and exploring things, but is a bit shy in regards to it. She was from the house Sournois, the pure-blooded house in Beauxbatons that has about the equivalent of Ravenclaw and Slytherin in a combination of wit and 'superiority'. Students from Beauxbatons are notorious for being witty, smart, and much more studious and study-conscious on a whole than most others, as well as loyalty to their school and respective houses.
♫ Her wand is 12 ¼, vine wood, and the core of a veela hair from her aunt Démi.
♫ She can speak French, English, and Seselwa (Seychellois Creole) fluently, and she knows bits of a few other miscellaneous languages.
Writing Sample:
“Er… bonjour?” the dark-skinned girl asked softly, looking around the large entrance of the school. Her blue Beauxbatons uniform was still on, finely pressed and hat just perfectly balanced to the side, but the girl inside the outfit looked quite nervous. “Is anyone in ‘ere?” to the lack of response she received, but the loud chattering she heard from the Great Hall, she assumed they must all be in there. She straightened herself up and sashayed into the room, trunk left behind in the other area haphazardly. Madame Maxime wouldn’t want her to show her startlement or confusion in how different the school was to her old one.
Heads turned in a faint glance to her, then went back to their food, before popping back up to stare. Most, she thought with an inaudible squeak, probably thought she was a superficial girl who had gotten to the wrong place and was supposed to be in Sournois over at Beauxbatons rather than here, during dinner. But again she straightened herself up and looked around at everyone, as most people were now staring at her.
She offered a charming smile and simply said, “Bonjour, mes filles et mon chéri beaux garçons. Je suis Gabriela-Lisette. Je ne suis parfait en anglais, oui?” this was a joke, which she was fairly certain almost no one would understand. She now heard collective whisperings and mutterings, and took a moment to scowl around the room before returning to the calm smile. “I need ‘elp findeeng ze ‘eadmaster.” Now people seemed to understand, she thought wryly while she walked along between the tables for Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw to reach the long staff table. “But I presume eet eez you, Monsieur?”
