general description::

Colleen can become quite temperamental when it comes down to it and she can be quite confrontational. She does not stand to be ignored and she will tell it straight to you. It isn't that she really gets 'yelling' sort of mad, but she can posses a cool air with an attitude behind it. One can always tell when she is truly irked because her jaw, always protrudes slightly and this is usually followed up with either a lone eyebrow being raised or a cold comment being made. Though she hates being yelled at, she can easily yell at others if she thinks they are doing something wrong, or if they are the ones hurting her. From an early age and living with her two brothers, she has learned to muggle fight well, and enjoys doing so just for fun with them. She also isn’t afraid to do any dare or take any risk. She isn’t afraid to put these tactics to the test when fighting with an opponent, especially the Krum family.

Quidditch is more of a hobby, then her actual life. Being born into the sport, she loved it and played it faithfully, but it was much more Parker's thing than hers, something she'd always been jealous about since the beginning. Now that she's grown up a bit, she realizes the damage it has done to them all, the competition was in their blood now, and it was hard to be nice to anyone who stood in their way, particularly the Krums, and this isn't the way Colleen wanted it to be. She wanted games to be at least civil, but instead they were almsot like full-blown wars, especially between the two rivaling families.

Although Colleen can be confrontational, she is a really sweet girl. Her goal is to please everyone, though it often gets her in trouble. She loves to meet new people, and hates it when others are left out. She tries to join everyone in the group, so everyone can benefit. She loves to do things creatively and often writes songs in her journal, and isn’t afraid to sing them. She’s probably the only musically gifted one in the family, though still absolutely talented, along with her other siblings, on her broom. She began to fly at three and loved going up in the air and zooming around, and often tries to fly as much as possible, especially when she needs to let off some steam.

&&__family history
father’s name:: Oliver Wood

history::

Born sixteen days into June, only a year and a few months after her older brother Parker, Emily was the middle kid. Colleen had a very boring childhood, of course being born after her mother was sick and not knowing anything about it, being born an innocent little baby. It was only ten months after her birth that her little brother Vaughn was born. Life was good when she was young, her parents did everything for her, dressed her, fed her, and made sure she was safe, though she didn’t get as much attention when Vaughn was born, she was still a happy baby, looking up to her older brother Parker for fun.

As the years went on and she turned five, she became more and more the oreo stuffing betwixt the black cookie. Her brothers teased her, and though she teased back, she was blamed for everything. She didn’t mind though, because one way or another, she always got them back. They were a happy bunch pretty much. As she grew a bit older at eight, and Parker was making his own friends, it got harder and harder for Colleen to tag along, which is what she always did, because she wanted to grow up and be good like him. She was forced to stay home and babysit her brother Vaughn when Parker went off to school, but even quiet, studious Vaughn was boring with his like of books instead of Exploding Snap. She couldn’t wait until the day she got her acceptance letter.

When she did, she was extremely happy. She could go to Hogwarts and be with her older brother again. Everything would be the same again. Though she felt sorry for Vaughn, she knew he would be just fine with his stuffy books. Soon enough, she found out about the Krums and the rivalry the oldest siblings had set the previous year. Colleen and the middle girl from the Krum family also got into spats and fights throughout their years at Hogwarts. Colleen was determined to be better in every way, and as years progressed, she tried her best to become best at everything, though she often fell flat on her nose.

Now in her sixth year, she really wants to make things right with the Krums, feeling that they only had two years left at Hogwarts, and that they should at least come to respect each other as future opponents in professional Quidditch. But in her mind, she knew that would never happen. That was as odd as if Winter were to be in the Summer, or if day became night. It just couldn’t happen, they were always too mad at each other, too determined to be the best.

role-playing sample::
Kathleen hurried quickly from the Divination classroom to where Zak had told her to meet in the abandoned DADA classroom. She didn't know why he wanted to see her right now, but she went anyway. Zak and Kat had talked a lot over the Christmas break, and had gotten to know each other well. Messages passed between owl got them together every now and then in secretive towers and hallways all of the time now that term had begun once again. Zak had befriended Kat when she initially found out about Colin, and his comfort meant a great deal to her. But they were just friends, in Kat's mind, Philip was still her boyfriend. It was bad enough when Jane had found out about Kat and Venus being friends, and she was really worried about what would happen if she or Phil found out about she and Zak, especially after the jerk he had been to Penny, Paul's best friend, and even Kat herself in the dungeons.

A little out of breath, she entered the bright classroom. It was completely empty, devoid of any semblance of DADA class stuff. Only Zak sat in a chair, with an empty one beside him. "Hey Zak." Kat smiled and walked in. She hoped whatever it was he wanted to talk about wouldn't take too long, she was supposed to meet Philip soon, and didn't want to keep him waiting.

Fact was, she had been blowing off both Jane and Philip for a long time now, since term started. She sent them their Christmas presents, but never made any plans to visit the Lester's, being perfectly content to stay at the castle with Zak. She wasn't alone then, and there was less....awkwardness with him. She could really talk about her sorrow with him, and he could really make her laugh. He knew just the right words to say. Philip could only get her away from thinking about Colin, but he never addressed the subject after the funeral. He pretended like nothing happened.

Kat had been thinking awhile about Zak. Though it was firm in her mind that Philip was her boyfriend, she liked Zak very much. She found once she got to know him, the hard jerky exterior melted into a handsome caring person, which Kat guessed only a select few knew .Kat hadn't even told Jane about this, afraid she knew she would just judge Zak exactly the way Kat had for so long.

She sat down next to Zak and put her bag down, "What's up?" Despite being placed in Slytherin, some just didn't look good in green. But Kat was convinced green was definitely Zak's color. She wondered if it was just one of those times to say hello that he wanted, or if he wanted to tell her something specific---the message he had given was very vague, and she hoped they'd be able to talk a little bit before she had to go.
