Read Today's Daily Prophet: Knights of Walpurgis attack Hogwarts; Belleford steps down as Hogwarts closes until further notice
Welcome to Hogwarts Interactive Role Play, one of the net's best in Harry Potter and Hogwarts role plays. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Here at Hogwarts our students are currently in their Seventh Year. Last year, the war against the Knights crescendoed into a direct attack against the school. Disappearances are still reported (or not) daily, and the Dark Lord and his Knights of Walpurgis have succeeded in spreading their message of "do as thou will" far and wide across the globe. Magical Law Enforcement, which is now the only authority in the wizarding world under Martial Law, has responded by tightening security, controlling the media, and strictly enforcing curfews and other laws. Their control is damaging to the people's freedom, and their hierarchy is a suspicious lot. It is clear that some members of the MLE like their new found power a bit too much, others see it necessary, but all are in serious danger of being consumed by it. But with the picture of just what Azariah Amaranth is after becoming ever clearer, and a third player in the form of a group called SAVIOR entering the scene, what will the MLE do next to ensure that they've got the situation under control?

The Elementium, the Higher Plane that had once been hidden just beyond the veil in the Department of Mysteries, and the Deathly Hallows. The pieces of the puzzle have been identified, but what picture do they make?

Today is Day 1 of Year Seven. Students have had time to recover from the Knight's attack, and are beginning to reluctantly return to the walls of Hogwarts. The safety of the school has been diminished, bringing up the question everyone must ask. Are you safe anywhere these days? It's up to each individual to decide their fate, where will you decide to go?

Fifth Year

~General Information~

Full Name: Talyin Ana Marie Starr

Nicknames: Tal, Taly, Tams. Her friends and family usually shorten her name to Tal
or Taly. Occasionally someone will refer to her as Tams, which are the initials of her name.

Pronunciation: Tal-lin (at least, that's how I pronounce it in my head XD soo...therefore that is correct haha)

Gender: Female

Birth Date: August 24th

Age: 15

Year: Fifth Year.

Blood: Pureblood.

Wand: 11 1/4 inches, Mahogany, Chimera Scale

Preferred House: Why, Slytherin of course!

~Appearance~

Height: 5 feet 2 inches

Eyes: Talyin has large golden brown eyes that are often either wide with curiosity and humor or narrowed in irritation. Talyin believes that her bright, clear eyes are one of her best features.

Hair: Talyin's messy blond hair is about three or for inches past her shoulders. She prefers to keep her thick hair shorter, just so it's easier to manage. Her hair is slightly curly, and she usually doesn't bother using the large amount of hair products it takes to make it sleek and straight. Talyin usually wears her hair down with a side part, giving her side bangs that fall messily across her forehead. However, when she's in one of her "dressing up" moods she'll put it up in an intricate bun or ponytail. She especially loves to incorporate random small braids into her hairstyles.

~Physical Description~

To others Talyin certainly isn't a supermodel, but she is quite beautiful and is well aware of that fact. Talyin is definitely on the smaller side, not only in height but also in figure. She's thin, but has an hourglass shaped figure that makes her appear a lot more womanly than a 15 year old should. She has an oval shaped face with very smooth and lightly tanned skin. Her wide golden brown eyes are her most dominate facial feature, next being her nose which is small but a bit wider than what is deemed as "the perfect nose." She has small, full lips that are often curved up in a small smirk. As for makeup, on an average day Talyin doesn't usually wear more than lip gloss or stain, eyeliner, and mascara. Though when she gets bored, she's known as one who enjoys experimenting with different makeup styles.

Talyin's personal style is somewhat quirky, but with an elegant touch to it. She adores dresses and skirts, and rather dislikes wearing pants, so she's can usually be seen wearing a light and flowy skirt or dress. Talyin loves jewelry, especially necklaces, and is usually too indecisive to pick just one so she usually layers on multiple gold and bead necklaces.

~Personality~

To strangers Talyin can seem like a arrogant and conceited young woman. To those who know her however, she's just a bit too over confident. She's a very intelligent, headstrong young woman and when she wants something she goes after it, and being a perfectionist she doesn't stop until she succeeds. Talyin's perfectionist personality is caused by her illogical, and irrational fear of being rejected and failing. This could also be the reason as to why she acts almost too over confident. Talyin's also a very independent person, and prefers to do things on her own. Though when she really needs to, she can force herself to ask for help, though she usually feels mortified doing so.

Talyin's not a bully, but she is certainly one to speak her mind and make her opinions, feelings, and thoughts known. She's not usually very temperamental but she is a strong supporter of revenge and if someone upsets her, well they better be ready for whatever she plans on doing to them. For instance if someone makes her angry and that same person has a very obvious obsession with their hair, well sweet 'ol Talyin would be the one to try and chop it all off. However, it takes a lot to get Talyin that upset. She usually doesn't like to let people get to her.

Talyin's also very observant of not only her surroundings, but the feelings of others too, which she often uses to her advantage to manipulate to get what she wants. Because of this people often perceive her as being cold and uncaring towards others, but to those closest to her she can be quite friendly and a very loving and loyal person.

Talyin is also a very inquisitive person, and loves asking questions. When meeting new people, if they don't intrigue her then she probably will show very little interest in them. Talyin dislikes people who are very naive, and people who act like jerks for no good reason. She especially dislikes girls who love to gossip and giggle about boys. Talyin thinks of herself as too dignified of a person to deal with those types of "silly" girls. Talyin also prefers not to hang around with people with egos bigger than her's, though she also doesn't like to hang around extremely shy and self-conscious people.

As for the whole "blood status and house" issue, unlike the majority of her family Talyin doesn't really care what house or blood status people are. She thinks it's extremely shallow to only associate with people of a certain blood status and house , and though she can be quite conceited at times she's not shallow and doesn't like to be around people who are. Talyin does take pride in her house however, so she does feel that it is the best house. As for muggles, muggleborns, and squibs Talyin doesn't have anything against them. She does however think that it's very unfortunate to be born without magical power and she pities them.

~History~

Talyin Starr was born in Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, England to Emilia and Charlie Starr. Talyin's mother is of British and French descent and her father is of British and Irish descent. She was the third child out of five children born to the Starr's and the only one to be born without a twin. Because of this, her siblings often described her as the "loner" of the family, not because she was antisocial but because she was born without a twin. They would often joke that the reason she was born without one was because "she was so selfish that she couldn't even share her own mother's womb." Talyin agreed. She didn't mind their teasing. Heck, she was glad that she didn't have a twin. He or she would just be another person to share her parent's attention with.

The Starr family is an upper class, pureblood wizarding family. She lived a very pampered and sheltered life due to her family's wealth, and was usually always given what she wanted. However, because she was born right in the middle, she had to work hard for attention, which led her to become such a perfectionist. Whatever she'd do she felt she had to do perfect, because otherwise she wouldn't get the praise and attention she sought.

Talyin's family owned a chain of potion and apothecary stores around England, which is where they earned most of their wealth.Talyin spent a lot of time at her parent's stores, or in the basement of the Starr manor that they had reserved for potion making and testing. Potions is a big part of the Starr family, and is considered to be a family "specialty."

Talyin showed her fist signs of magic at the age of 5. It was a rainy spring day and the children were inside doing arts and crafts instead of playing outside the manor like they normally did. Talyin had been trying to paint a picture of a bear, but it turned out looking more like a deformed hippo. Her older brother found this to be quite amusing and started teasing her about her lack of painting skills. Upset, Talyin magically levitated her bottles of paint and dumped them over his head. Instead of scolding her, her parents were proud of how early she had first showed magic; her older siblings had been 7 and 8 when they first showed signs.

Family:

-Charlie Daniel Starr: Father, Age 43, Pureblood.

-Emilia Elizabeth Starr: Mother, Age 38, Pureblood.

-Kadyn Alexander Charlie Starr: Brother, Age 17, Pureblood.

-Ramora Emilia Caitehlyn Starr: Sister, Age 17, Pureblood.

-Lainey Jacquelyn Rae Starr: Sister, Age 13, Pureblood.

-Aimeus Felix Daniel Starr: Brother, Age 13, Pureblood.

Pets: Talyin has an orange half-Kneazle, half Tabby kitten named Rajah. She also has a Snowy Owl named Tomo.

Possessions: Talyin owns a Nimbus 2010 broomstick. Her most valuable possession is her heart shaped necklace that was given to her as a present when she was 11 by her parents on her first day of Hogwarts.

Hobbies:Talyin has been painting ever since she was very young, and absolutely adores doing it. She's a pretty good painter, though she's certainly no Picasso. Talyin also loves potion making, and is pretty good at it thanks to her exposure of it through her family's business. Talyin also enjoys playing Quidditch (and makes a pretty good Seeker thanks to her keen eye) and plays it at home with her brother whenever she gets the chance.
