**YOUR HOGWARTS CAREER**
What subjects are you taking this term:
Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, DADA, Herbology, Astronomy, History of Magic, Muggle Studies.
Favorite/Least Favorite Subject:
Transfiguration is Lexi's favorite subject. The fact that one is able to change one thing into something else is the most amazing thing she can imagine. Plus it's not a soft subject, you really have to know your stuff in order to perform the spells properly.
As for Lexi's least favorite subject that would be History of Magic. She just finds it mundane, completely boring, perhaps a wee bit useless.
What kind of student are you:
Lexi had always loved the printed word, since the age of seven you couldn't see her without a book in her hand. She enjoyed to learn new things about any subject just because she loved to talk about them with her parents and anyone who would listen. Her parents often said she was too smart for her own good and Lexi enjoyed hearing it. This love of learning continued when she went to school Lexi enjoyed studying for tests, writing out her essays, reading her textbooks (she was usually pages ahead of all the other students. Lexi was studious would probably always be studious and she like it that way.
What is your preferred House:
Lexi thinks she would make a good Ravenclaw.
**BEFORE AND AFTER**
How Did You Come To Be/Childhood:
Alexandra and Brian met while the two were at Hogwarts. Brian had been a 5th year Slytherin, when he spotted a beautiful dark haired Ravenclaw 4th year. Alexandra Bryant (as she was then known) was very popular especially with the boys, an extremely gifted student, and nice to just about everyone. Brian was determined to meet her so one day he stood outside of her class room door and waited for her. He knew what class she was in because he had heard her talking about it to one of her little friends. Once he spotted her his wand came out and he said a little spell that caused her bad to rip. Alexandra had sighed bending down to pick her things up. Her friends were waiting, but she told them to go on without her. Of course that is what Brian wanted. When the hallway was pretty much emptied he came out from his hiding place and looked down at the girl he was determined to date. Asking if she needed help Alexandra looked up at the brown haired boy she knew to be from Slytherin. At first Alexandra was going to say something cheeky, but by the look on his face she managed to stop herself. Something about him was simply appealing.
Oddly enough the two started dating right after that. Of course Alexandra didn't think it would last very long, they had their problems, they fought often, and they had come close to breaking up once or twice. Somehow though they managed to stick it out. They made it through the rest of school, Brian had graduated a year before her but he visited her often. Once Alexandra graduated, they two wasted no time in getting married. The parents on either side were not happy about this, Brian's parents were hoping that he would marry another Slytherin girl, and Alexandra's parents hoped she would marry anyone else but a Slytherin boy. Despite that the two didn't care they loved each other and that was all that mattered.
A few years after they were married, and both sets of parents got used to the idea Brian's father gave him some money to start up a potions shop which had been Brian's passion. He was an excellent potions maker and had a real passion for it. Lucky for the couple the store was opened quickly and it did well, because Alexandra was soon with child. Lexi (who was given her mother's nickname) was born on a warm night on July the 10th. From the very beginning she was the apple of their eye. Lexi didn't mind, growing up she wasn't what you would call spoiled. No matter what her parents always kept her grounded even when she found out that she was a witch. The explained her powers to her, and let her know that she shouldn't use them outside the house. Lexi listened very intently, and did as they asked. She knew that in time she would be receiving a letter from the school her parents talked of so often.
So when Lexi was eleven she finally made her way to the school her parents had spoken so highly of. Lexi fell in love with the place the moment she set foot on the grounds. This was the one place Lexi enjoyed being.
Coming To Hogwarts:
Lexi's parents had gone to Hogwarts so she knew all about the school from the time she was very young. They always made it seem like the greatest place in the world and that is the way Lex always pictured it. So when it was time for her to go she simply looked forward to it and not scared. The sorting was her favorite part hoping to figure out what house she was going to be put into. Then there the classes themselves she enjoyed learning all sorts of magic, and practical things like brewing potions. Then there were the friends that she made, the ones she could talk to about things, the ones that knew just how she felt about the school.
What do you want to do after Hogwarts:
Lexi would love to own her own shop one day. Perhaps a charms shop, or take over her father's potions shop when he decides to retire.

Role-playing Sample:
Lexi awoke with a start. Sitting bold upright in her bed, her heart beating rapidly, her breath coming in gasps, and her forehead sweaty. For a moment she didn't have the slightest clue what had woken her up. Laying back down she racked her brain trying to think of what it could be. After a few minutes she remembered that she had been having the most horrible nightmare. It was of a man a horrible looking man with red eyes who seemed intent on hurting her. Lexi tried to escape him, but no matter where she went he was there. She screamed, but nobody heard her. As he advanced toward her Lexi let out another yell which is what woke her up. Lexi didn't want to see that face again, then wondered why she dreamed something so horrible. Then she remembered the book she had been reading before going to bed had been about the most evil wizard that ever existed. The book had been in the library and she was so curious about it that she borrowed the book now she realized that was a huge mistake. She tried to stifle a yawn after that but she couldn't do it. Everything back to normal after the horrible dream she decided that it was safe to go to bed, hopefully. Turning her head she fell asleep almost instantly.
