Full name: Semira Faye Roku
Age: 18
Date of birth: May 2nd.
Birthplace: Kilbaha, Clare, Ireland
Current location: Merlin's Academy for Excellence
Blood status: Pureblood

Looks
Hair style/colour: Parted down the middle, Semira's natural red strands lay against her back and reach her midsection. Her hair is typically straight, though it does possess a small wave when untamed.
Height: 5'3 (feet'inches)
Eye colour: Blue
Freckles: Freckles dot Semira's cheeks and most of her nose, and due to her pale complexion, they're very much visible to the eye.
Beauty spots: N/A
Tattoos: Along her right arm, she has an intricate tattoo that covers the entirety of her skin from her elbow to her shoulder and closely resembles the scales of a dragon. A mixture of teal and emerald, the scale-like design shimmers accordingly in the sun, a product of the special ingredients within the hues in the tattoo.
Other marks (scars, etc): No significant scars as of yet.
Body type: Due to her athleticism, Semira's frame is incredibly lean, and partnered with her short stature, it makes her appear very small.
Dress sense: Semira tends to be a minimalist when it comes to her sense of style both when it comes to clothing and hair, in that she believes that "less is more." Since she enjoys athletics, working with creatures, and other unglamorous activities, she tends to stray away from sophisticated or professional clothing unless it's absolutely needed. Rather, she opts for casual, form-fitting clothing.
Personality
Likes: - Animals/Creatures/Beasts: Possibly because of her interactions with dragons via her brother's work with them, Semira developed a liking to the creatures, but not just dragons alone. Through her Care for Magical Creatures classes at Hogwarts, she found that she developed a liking to all beasts, especially the peculiar ones. In her spare time, she can often be found spending time caring for, playing with, or training different beasts.
- Books: Having been expected to do well in school, Semira took a liking to reading almost immediately. Even before her time at Hogwarts, she often immersed herself into novels, though it wasn't until she began her studies that she could so easily read non-fiction or academic text.
- Quidditch: Despite her placement in Hufflepuff, the house famous for its poor performance in the House Cup and non-competitive nature, Semira was one of the few that was very competitive. To control this, Semira played on her house's Quidditch team and fared quite well in most of the games she played in, leading her to follow the sport even after her time at Hogwarts. She roots for her home country's Quidditch team, which is Ireland.
Dislikes: -
- Cockiness/Arrogance: Being mostly modest herself, Semira despises when people are overly confident in their abilities to the point of arrogance or when people are showing off because of cockiness/arrogance.
- When people discuss family and particularly, ask questions about her family.
Quirks:- Semira writes left-handed and uses her left hand when handling her wand, but is predominantly right-handed when it comes to everything else.
- When nervous or bored, Semira tends to pace around, especially at odd times (in the middle of the night, during class, etc).
Flaws: - Her fiery temper tends to be easily triggered, especially when it comes to discussing her family.
- Due to her lack of immediate family, and the death of her brother, Semira finds it hard to develop deep relationships with people, even if it is simple as a friendship. She's partial to thinking the worst, in that she's more likely to lose a person, so she tries to keep herself from getting too close.
- When not working on her studies, Semira tends to be absent-minded or inattentive, especially in casual conversations. While she doesn't mean to be intentionally rude, she may come off as rude when she begins daydreaming or zoning out in the middle of a conversation.
Strengths:- Dedication/Hard Work.
- Loyalty.
- Kindness: Semira is very approachable and tends to always be kind or friendly to nearly everyone. It isn't until she's given a reason to dislike someone that she chooses to act ill towards them, excluding when her temper flares.
Weaknesses:-
- True to being a Hufflepuff, Semira is very hardworking and tends to be overly serious when it comes to her work. Even though she likes socializing and doing things other than studying, she devotes a large portion of her time to her work.

Why you chose your major: Semira chose Dragoneering for two reasons, both of equal importance to her. Her brother, Alaric, was an exceptional Dragoneer that the young lady looked up to for the majority of her life, both because he was her sole guardian growing up, and she admired the bravery it took to care for and train such majestic creatures. In her sixth year of Hogwarts, Semira was informed that her brother had been killed whilst working with one of his favorite dragons. While most would take the news badly and resent the species, Semira knew that her brother died doing what he loved, with creatures he adored. Her desire to pursue dragoneering wasn't solidified until age seventeen when Semira was chosen as the Champion of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to compete in the Triwizard Tournament. When it came to her task against a Hungarian Horntail, Semira was immediately awestruck by the beast and the fear it was able to instill in onlookers, and rather than fear, it was then she came to possess the same love for the creatures that her brother held. Although she didn't win the tournament, she finished that particular task with extraordinary grace and success.
