FOR THE HEART I ONCE HAD
BE STILL MY SON, YOU'RE HOME
OH WHEN DID YOU BECOME SO COLD?

FAMILY

VINCENT GORDAIN SNAYTHE
24 YEARS||THE HUMAN CARPENTER

Vincent is a very outspoken man. Although generally violent, he seems at ease around his equally twisted friends, which makes life at Snaythe Manor much calmer. This dark man has been know to swipe innocent bystanders off the streets, wizards, witches, and muggles alike. He has no prejudice for blood. It all spills the same.

HARALAMBOS DRACTULIS SNAYTHE
22 YEARS||THE HUMAN BUTCHER

The most laid back of the Snaythes, Haralambos spends his time in the kitchen preparing meals of societal disgust. This sick pastime has earned him reputation in Helsinki's Rancan Alley as the Human Butcher. However, despite his morbid occupation, he is quite the prankster, always poking around Pythori or trying to inebriate Dyonisius. He is good friends with Viktor Sprante, another dark prankster from the Vampire Tobias' clan. They are often seen together plotting out new practical jokes or attempting to get as shit-faced as possible.

PYTHORI GEORID SNAYTHE
20 YEARS||A SLAIN DREAMER

Pythori is a quite man who rarely speaks a word to even his own family. He wasn't always this way, however. A few years ago he had a fiancee, Sari Floris. They were quite the inseperatable couple, until one night, he returned to Snaythe Manor only to find her in another man's arms. A friend's arms. In a wild fit of rage, Pythori tore the man in half with his bear hands before turning on his fiancee. He twisted and contorted her body so that she hung high with her back to the ceiling. The brokenhearted man then melted candles to her broken limbs to create a macabre chandelier.

VICTORIA DRUCILLIA SNAYTHE
19 YEARS||A GRIM ARTIST

Victoria is a great artist and an extraordinary vocalist. Her paintings are reknown in the dark corners of Helsinki, and they sell quite rapidly. Musically, Victoria is unmatched. She carries the most elegant voice a man could ever want...And the price that comes with it, for the sound of her song is said to crush the minds of all who hear it. Aside from being an artist, she is also an exceptional potioneer, studying deep into the texts of her ancestors.

DYONISIUS EVERNIGH SNAYTHE
18 YEARS||A LOST SOUL

The youngest of the Snaythes, Dyonisius has proved to be stronger than any of them could ever had imagined. Though lacking great physical strength, the young man has set up the endurance to tolerate his brother's contant killings and been able to defend himself somewhat against Vincent's occasional beatings. He is a poet and songwriter, allowing his music and lyrics to take the pain away from his mind.

SAILING THE WAVES OF THE PAST

Julianna was raised in an orphanage until the age of five. Shortly before her sixth birthday, a young man with striking platnium hair came into her presence, and she was immediatly fearful of him. She learned later on that he'd planned to take some children with him for god knows what kind of heinous experiments, and that he had charmed his apperance to appear kind, attractive, and warm. Julianna was the only person in the building who was unfooled by this magic. This changed his original plan, and he ended up taking her, completely petrified.

Despite the dark magic and abundant scent of death about Snaythe Manor, Julianna had a decent childhood. She was taught well, despite the nature, and she had healthy relationships with three of the five other people in the home. She would run to Haralambos or Victoria if she was scared, and ended up learning to deal with Vincent's temper and punishments over the years.

At the age of eleven, Julianna recieved her letter to Hogwarts, despite being so far away from the school. She suspected that Vincent had something to do with it, nevertheless, she was eager to travel to England and attend the reknown wizarding acadamy. Haralambos and Dyonisius accompanied her to Great Britain, and even they were quite awestruck by sights such as Diagon Alley. Haralambos had taken a particular interest in Knockturn, leaving the younglings to buy supplies on their own.

Soon, Julianna was able to board the train bound for Hogwarts, bidding farewell to her adoptive brothers, and ready with excitement. However, it was to be short-lived. Upon arrival at the school, she was immediately sorted into Slytherin, a great iritation to older students who complained about her blood status. Because of this, it has been difficult for Julie to make friends in her own house, though she has managed to make friends in the other houses over the years.

This year is particularly exciting for her, as she's heard word that Dyonisius may be traveling from Finland to attend the school for a year. She has not seen any of her adoptive family since she first came to Hogwarts, getting special permision to live on school grounds during the summer.

HEAVEN HAS A DARKENED FACE
CARAVAN OF THE CURSED
CHASING HIM ACROSS THE WAVES

PHYSICAL APPEARENCE

HAZEL-GREEN EYES||CRIMSON HAIR||PALE SKIN
SLENDER||5'7"||140LBS

Despite her crimson hair and dark eyes, Julianna is surprisingly pale; having rarely venturing into the sun. Her eyes are quite particular as well, not a true hazel due to the prominant green coloration, yet obviously not green. Julie has been blessed with full lips, a large bossom, and round, slender hips. Her movements are generally very fluid and graceful, and she is remarkably dexterous.

Underneath her clothing, however, her body is riddled with scars from both training and the rage of Vincent Snaythe. On one occasion, his anger was so fierce that she was left blinded in one eye. It was a bit of a nuisence, getting used to having no depth perseption, but after a few years, she was able to function quite well.

CLOTHING

Outside of school-mandated dress, Julianna tends to stick with the traditional clothing of the wizarding world. Long robes, and ornate jewelry tend to be the stock of her outfits, however, she is also rather intriged by some forms of muggle attire such as this new punk fad crossing over Great Britain. She is occasionally seen in ripped black shirts and patchy dress slacks, sometimes with a bright accent such as a scarf, pin, or large piece of jewelry.

THE GOOD IN HER WILL BE MY SUNFLOWER FIELD
HURT ME, BE THE ONE
WHOEVER BRINGS THE NIGHT

CHARACTER TRAITS

+KIND HEART - Julianna has a natural empathy for most people and will show it in the most extravagant ways. She loves to give gifts and see the person's reaction to her kindness. Not everyone appreciates this, and Julie knows it. There are some people in the world that you just cannot please, however, she will usually try her best.
+OPTIMISTIC - While many people tend to balance between pessimism and optimism, Julianna has a very happy disposition on life. There is no need to see the glass as half-empty or half-full when you should just be happy that there is something there. Julie did not have a terribly glamourous childhood, so she has learned to respect and cherish every moment of her life.
+HUMBLE - There are too many arrogant, over-zealous people in the world, and this witch refuses to contribute to that population. She tends to pull the focus away from herself and takes to complimenting others as well as trying to boost their own self-esteem and pride while keeping her own in check.
-ABSENT-MINDED - Because of the amount of time on her hands and the little responsibility that she has, Julie can often lose herself for days within the pages of old texts or over a bubbling cauldron. At times, she forgets to eat or even sleep, leaving her quite worn out once her interest has dropped.
-UNTRUSTWORTHY - Other than releasing some information about her family to the school, Julianna tends to keep her life very secretive. There are new whispers of evil in this world, and the last thing she needs is for everyone to accuse her of being a murderer or just a plain unpleasent person. This is her first oppertunity in her life to make a good deal of friends, and she does not want to screw it up.
-TEMPERMENTAL - Julianna's anger does not flair up often, but when it does, it is quite a frightening sight. Due to the air of immaturity within her, things tend to get broken, or people hurt. She tries to keep herself in check, but sometimes it is difficult.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

+POTIONS - Though quite befuddled with spellwork, Julie became quite an acomplished potioneer. She knew many properties of even the more uncommon ingredients before she even stepped through the doors of the school. Her specialties are poisons and antidotes, and the much sought after Felix Felicis. She has spent countless hours developing a safe method for brewing the lucky elixir.
+HERBOLOGY - To further her knowledge of the many plants within the class, she keeps herself around greenhouses and the outdoors, taking special care to develop new ways of tending to the many varieties.
+DARK ARTS - Having the dark magic forced on her from a young age, Julianna is naturally skilled in the black field. Mostly, she takes an interest in the historical part of the Arts, however, she is skilled enough with a wand to know a great deal of curses and hexes.
-CHARMS - Other than the Dark Arts, Julianna has had little luck with a wand. Even a simple levitation spell has the chance of turning into disaster for her, and she hasn't dared to try anything too advanced outside of her darker fields.
-DUELING - If you can't cast a proper spell, you are simply no use in a duel. Often times, even a spell to disarm an opponent will turn into a broken arm or simply have no effect whatsoever. The strongest spells she knows are curses, and she doesn't dare cast them on the other students.
-MEN - Not being around many people in her life, Julie has had a terrible time with men. They have either been way too far out of her league or simply arrogant and prideful. Her expectations for a mate is quite high, and she has found only a handful of bachelors that meet her standards. No matter though, as she also appreciates the company of women.

OCCUPATION

I WISH I HAD ONE MORE LIFE TO LIVE
ALL OF MY SONGS CAN ONLY BE COMPOSED OF THE GREATEST OF PAINS
EVERY SINGLE VERSE CAN ONLY BE BORN OFTHE GREATEST OF WISHES

THIS RP IS QUITE OLD

There was really no way to describe her guilt as she stepped out of the headmasters office. She carried her school-issued colors, her bags, and a crushing weight upon her shoulders. It hadn't really sunk in until know. That she would not see Dyonisius for at least a year, if not longer. Vincent was a truly vicious bastard for sending her so far away from him. She had depended on him to survive the various stressful situations she had come up against, and the thought of being away from his touch for so long was tearing her apart. This school was so different from her home in Finland, though. The headmaster was not a spitefully watchful sociopath bent on making her life miserable. The teachers she's met hadn't glared or sneered at her. And, so far, the only students she'd walked into had been pleasent and kind to her. All of this was so different. She wasn't sure she could get used to this.

Although...It was nice. Not having to worry about where you came from, what you looked like, or what you knew or didn't know. It was nice to meet such a kind and wise old headmaster who seemed generally interested in putting her in the best situation possible. And, despite what she's heard of her house, it wasn't like she couldn't speak to and befriend members of other houses. The brave and proud Gryffindors, the hard working Hufflepuffs, the wise Ravenclaws, and the cunning Slytherins. Surely she could find some form of friendship within these walls.

She was told where her common room was located and given the password. After she spoke the word to the portait in front of her, it opened up to a glorious-looking room before her. It was so rich and beautiful, reminding her of some of the areas of Snaythe Manor. It was at that moment that her heart lifted and she knew she could find happiness here. At least, for the time being...
