Looks:
Dylan has always been a tomboy, and she wasn’t a pretty little girl. Her teeth fell out at all the wrong times and she broke her nose more than once. So often that she finally had to go see a muggle surgeon to get it fixed. So, until she hit puberty she didn’t really care about her appearance. Now that she has come out of her shell so to speak she is learning how to take care of herself. Standing at five foot six inches Dylan isn’t a super tall girl. She isn’t chubby yet she is not a twig, and she is proud of the curves she has.
The girl had pitch black hair that she got from her mother, it flows and lands about to her chest. She never knows what to do with it, being naturally wavy, so when it’s not in a ponytail she just lets it go free. She had dark brown eyes which SHE thinks are plain boring, but people swear that her eyes are very expressive. She looks a lot like her mother in the angles of her face and doesn’t really resemble her father. She supposes that that is her brother’s department but she isn’t sure. All and all when Dylan looks at her reflection in the morning she doesn’t feel like killing herself. She admits that she is a fairly pretty girl and is fine with leaving it at that. She might put on a few make up charms to hide the lack of sleep sometimes or bring attention to her slightly plump lips, but she isn’t obsessed with beauty. She thinks that being comfortable with your appearance is the most beautiful thing there is.
Appearance:
Dylan doesn't have any tattoos or piercings. She does have a scar from when she fell off a broom, but it's in her scalp and unnoticeable unless she were to show you.
Favourite Outfit:
Dylan really isn’t that much of a high maintenance girly girl. She rarely dresses up unless it’s for a dance, family function, or a date. Before she “blossomed” into the beautiful young woman (her mother’s words) that she is, she was a bit tomboy. So, Dylan usually steals her brother’s shirts and quidditch fan jerseys when he grows out of them. She usually lounges around in those and sweat pants when she is holed up in her dorm doing homework. When she isn’t in uniform and in the general public she dresses up a tad.
Dylan loves the classic jeans and t-shirt combination. She rarely wears anything with outlandish graphics and likes polka dots and solid colors. In the summer she likes the same t-shirts with cut offs and cloth shorts. She will also usually be seen in her bathing suit or tank top dresses. Dylan loves warm weather but she has a soft spot for Fall and Winter too. She loves long sleeves and wool sweaters. She likes to shop for hats, mittens, and scarves so winter shopping is always fun. Of course she loves big warm coats to keep her warm during snow ball fights.
The Stretton’s only daughter knows how to dress for fancy events. She can clean herself up if she feels the need to. While she prefers dress robes when going to a Wizarding function she loves trying on dresses, her one girly secret besides make up. She loves long gowns that make her feel beautiful and she loves sparkles. No matter what she wears though her favorite colors to strut around in are green, red, black, brown, and sometimes blue.
**PERSONALITY**
How do you treat your friends:
Dylan is a very loyal friend, she'd do anything for them. She's more of a guys girl than anything so she has a lot of male friends, which makes her not so popular with other girls. But if you ARE Dylan's friend she will always be there for you. She stands up for the ones she cares about, even when it isn't her battle to fight.
How do you treat your enemies:
Dylan sadly is sort of...a brute. If you have a problem with her she likes to handle it quick and dirty. She won't hesitate to get in your face and push you. She is little and may look harmless, but she isn't.
Social Status:
I wouldn't say Dylan is the most popular girl in the world, but she is well liked in her circle of friends and to her thats all that matters.

**SOME MORE INSIGHT**
Skills/Hobbies:
Dylan is very good at fighting back and wreatling, she can wiggle herself out of any hold you put her in. A big brother and all male friends will do that to a girl.

Thanks to her mother, Dylan is also very talented in formal dances such as the tango and ballroom.

DADA
Potions
Herbology
Charms
Transfiguration
Divination
Astronomy
Care of Magical Creatures
Favourite/Least Favourite Subject:
Favorite: I love CoMC because you get to be outside and work with animals. I want to be a Magical Creature vet or something when I grow up, Maybe even work with Dragons! So, this class may be a joke to some but I actually really get into it. It's interesting
Least Favorite: I actually really dont like Astronomy. I mean yeah, stars are pretty and they set the mood for any date but I have no interest in the names of all of them. I really don't see the point in it all and I could be wasting my time in a more fun way. I also dont like giving up free time in the evenings to star gaze. Just not my cupa tea.
What kind of student are you:
Dylan is not a very studious young lady. She gets things done, but always at the last minute. She's also not that organized and she tends to scurry around looking for papers in random files she's stuck under her mattress or in her travel chest. She always manages to pass her tests but she is always scrambling and cramming the night before.
What is your preferred House:
Dont care, you're call! I'd say something other than Huffie or Raven since I already have one of each but either way it goes is fine! Hah!
**BEFORE AND AFTER**
How Did You Come To Be/Childhood:
Once upon a time in a far away land...well not really. Dylan’s parents didn’t have a romantic first sight love. They met, they dated, they fell in love, they married. They were best friends and got along great so it just made sense. Once they were wed Maria immediately got pregnant on their honeymoon resulting in Dylan’s brother. They were delighted to have the baby boy but Maria secretly longed for a little girl. She wanted a daughter so she could spoil and dress up in frilly things. So she was delighted when she found that one year after having her son she was pregnant again. She was even more pleased when the news came that she was going to have a girl. Since she got to name the boy, Tony thought it was fair he’d name their daughter. Maria would regret that decision and blame her husband for making her daughter a tomboy down the line.
Tony had always liked the name Dylan, even for a girl. He thought it was actually pretty and strong. So when Maria gave birth on March 11th of that year he took one look at his second child and knew it was the right decision. Dylan was born screaming her way into the world and according to her father she has never stopped. When Dylan was eight her mother (London native) got word that her mother was sick so they moved to England to care for her. Her dad got a job as a detective and he makes pretty good money, allowing Maria to stay home and take care of things. Growing up she had a loving home with a loving family. But Dylan made it clear to Maria early on that she was not a girly girl. By the age of three she was toddling after the neighborhood boys trying to keep up, and cried every time her mother tried to put her in ruffles. Finally Maria gave up and concentrated on not letting her daughter get too hurt. Finally free to do what she wanted Dylan was constantly in the mud and wrestling with her brother’s friends. If she fell down and scraped her knee, she might cry a few tears, but she got back up almost instantly and kept going. She was just that kind of little girl.
When the Stretton girl had the accident when she became a little more reserved. The rest of the year she’d sit in her window seat and watch her brother and his friends fly around on their training brooms. When her mother tried to coax her outside she’d shake her head furiously and start crying. Her father tried to take her on a broom ride and she got so scared she locked herself in the bathroom for two hours. She was terrified of flying and her parents were deeply saddened by it. Dylan eventually got back to her old self, and instead of flying with her friends, she’d stand under them and run with them. She became very fast by doing this and was pleased that no one pressured her. The rest of her childhood flew by in a whirlwind of fun and sunshine. She was a happy girl.
Coming To Hogwarts:
The day Dylan left for Hogwarts the girl could not have been more excited or nervous. She barely kissed her mother goodbye before running onto the train and sitting down in what would become her favorite compartment. She loved everything about going to Hogwarts. She’d be able to take care of herself, she’d make her own friends, she’d be kind of like a grown up. She could barely keep herself in the boat when they rowed toward the castle. When it finally came time to get sorted Dylan was practically shaking in anticipation. When the hat was placed on her head and it shouted Gryffindor she nearly screamed with it. She scurried off to the table and sat down. She finally felt like she was starting her life, and the people around her would be a big part of it.
Since her first year Dylan hasn’t really changed other than physically. She still gets excited whenever she gets ready to go back to the school. She has a few more friends then what she started with, and she still is a bit of a tomboy. She’s trying to make her last two years at Hogwarts to best they can be. She wants to make them exciting, adventurous, and romantic. She needs to have a good story to tell her children.
What do you want to do after Hogwarts:
Dylan wants to travel the world, get a job maybe with dragons. She wants to fall hopelessly and passionately in love and always have an adventure. She doesn't want to get boring and old.
