Name: Amara Kael Deocaris Age: 25 Birthdate/place: July 19 / St. Mungo's Species: Human Gender: Female Appearance: Build/height- Tall and skinny General Description- The girl needs to eat. Unfortunately, food ranks as one of the lowest priorities in Mara's life... and she tends to forget eating quite often. The result is that she's tall and skinny (almost unhealthily so) with a pale cast to her skin. Her hair is long, dark and curly and she often pins it up so it is out of the way. Her face is square and can't really be described as classically beautiful because the features are just too strong. As to clothes, Mara can usually be found wearing a plain black robe. She says that adornments are just a bother she can do without, but actually she quite likes trinkets... she just doesn't want to be seen as a frivolous person. Possessions- An antique heart-shaped locket with no pictures inside. Personality:Temperament/Mental Attributes- No question, Mara is smart. She has always been able to grasp the logic of things, the rational way abstract thoughts are put together. She could discuss any sort of topic with absolute certainty in her voice and manner (although sometimes she would be making facts and numbers up, but you'd never be sure). She's not very good at recognizing emotions and appears very slow to anger. This is because she doesn't really know whether she's angry or not, she just feels numb. When things get too much, she explodes. Mara is not a relaxed person and could be considered quite uptight and stick-in-the-mud. Alliance- None yet. Strengths- Intelligent, Serious, Logical thinker, Loves planning and organizing Weaknesses- Cares too much for other's opinions, Can't control or recognize her own emotions Employment&Education: -Adults-Former House- Ravenclaw Job- Head Researcher in the Department of Mysteries Employer- The Ministry of Magic/Jack Harkness OWLs-Astronomy [E] Care of Magical Creatures [E] Charms [O] Defence Against the Dark Arts [E] Divination Herbology History of Magic [O] Potions [E] Transfiguration [O]

Magical Skills- Amara's animagus form is a black leopard. Patronus- Amara unfortunately has difficulty with the patronus charm, and so far has only produced wisps of white. Wand- Elm, Dual demiguise and hippogriff core
History-
- 1995 - Mara is born.
Gareth Deocaris, Mara's father, was not the pickiest man -- he'd have relations with just about anybody if the mood struck him. This resulted in him having an almost indeterminate number of possible children (birth control? what birth control?) although he had it narrowed down to around 20 with the advent of DNA checking for wizards.
- 1997 - Mara's mother (Twylla) informs her father (Gareth Deocaris) about the child, and the two move to Deocaris Manor.
As mentioned, Gareth was not a picky person. However, he was particular about property -- where the women he's had and the children they bore him fit in. He insisted that all children who were truly his get were made to live in Deocaris Manor. This living with literally more than 50 other people started Mara's love for solitude and independence.
- 2000 - Mara learns how to read.
The moment she learned how (she had always been curious about the bound things in the library) Mara retreated into her own private little world. She read everything she could put her hands on, because it occupied her days and it kept her from being found out by the little siblings and bothered incessantly.
- 2002 - Mara runs away from the Manor and meets a certain family traveling troupe.
But one summer day in May 2002, Mara couldn't take it anymore. She packed her bag with some of her things, took some cheese and bread and a bottle of water and set off into the world -- at the tender age of 7. Goodness knows what would have happened to her had she not been found by the Breandans. Until now, Amara isn't quite sure whether she had dreamed up the fun-loving mischievous clan... if it weren't for Maebh, she probably would have dismissed it long ago as one of her fantasies. Mara couldn't believe that it was possible a whole family could be that large and still know one another and fight and argue and live in bickering bliss. She really wanted to stay with them forever, even to the point that she wouldn't say who her parents were. But the Breandans wormed it out of her eventually, and returned her to Deocaris Manor 2 weeks after she disappeared. Mara hadn't even been noted as gone, but she accepted her lot.
- 2003 - The start of the penpalling.
Nearly a year went by, and Amara pretty much convinced herself that it had all been a product of her wild imagination. But a letter came, several months after she was returned to Deocaris Manor. It was Maebh, telling of their adventures and her family -- Mara puzzled over some of the words but figured it out eventually. Excitedly, she wrote a letter right back and started a whole tradition of penpalling with Maebh Breandan.
- 2006 - Mara gets her Hogwarts letter, starts formal schooling. Was sorted into Ravenclaw.
Mara gets her Hogwarts letter, along with three of her other half-siblings. She absolutely welcomed the change of place and the fact that she was out of Deocaris Manor. Mara had wished with all her heart that she would be sorted into Ravenclaw, and when she was it approached the only truly happy moment that Amara could remember in her life.
- 2012 - Mara graduates from Hogwarts.
Amara's 7 years went by like a dream. She hardly ever stepped back into Deocaris Manor, if possibly only for a month of the vacation period and never during Winter Holidays. Mara loved learning and loved it even more when she began to get a reputation at Hogwarts as one of the brightest witches in her generation (possibly rivalling even the great Hermione Granger). As you can imagine, this didn't garner her a lot of friends. But it suited Amara, preferring her penpal and her few close housemates to the rowdy bunch outside Ravenclaw Tower.
- 2013 - Mara gets a job in the Ministry as clerk/assistant secretary in the Department for Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures
One hellish year after graduation was all she could finally take of Deocaris Manor. She moved out after getting a job in the Ministry, practically accepting any post she was offered. Times were hard and jobs were scarce at the time, even for a qualified witch like Mara.
- 2015 - Mara gets transferred to the Department of Mysteries as researcher.
Her reputation as a closed-off, diligent and resourceful worker got her a transfer to the coveted researcher position at the Department of Mysteries.
- 2018 - She gets promoted to Head Researcher.
- Spring 2020 - Mastered her animagus form.
Amara only became an animagus recently. She has heard of the process during her Hogwarts years, however did not actually succeed in becoming an animagus as a student (much to her dismay). Amara trained under her immediate superior in the Department of Mysteries in the skill of becoming an animagus, and mastered the skill (remaining in the form for however much time she desires and communicating with other animals) around May of 2020.
- Fall 2020 - At present, lives alone in an apartment in Higher Diagon Alley.

Two questions before I approve this: What's EE and what's her patronus? You didn't finish the sentence there.

EE means exceeds expectations and I blooped on the patronus and magical skills part... I modified it now though. XD

Most people just use 'E', which is what was used in the book, so you threw me off there for a bit. When did she become an animagus?

Then you should include that in the history.
