Gender: Female
Age: 15, Born September 2
Orientation: Bisexual
Race: Human
Location: London, England
Year: 4
House: Hufflepuff
Family Tree:
Mother- Katelyn Drury Michaelis, University Band Director/Professional Bassoon player (muggle)
Father- Jean Michaelis, Instrument shop owner (muggle)

Animagous: None

History: It was a cool spring day. Katelyn Drury needed a bassoon for her band class and she went to Michaelis Music Supplier. It was almost love at first sight, as Katelyn found herself to the handsome young Frenchman known as Jean Michaelis. Katelyn kept coming to the shop for all of her instrumental needs and just for the sole purpose of talking to Jean. A month later, Jean asked Katelyn out on a date, and she obviously said yes. Nearly three years after that day, the two young lovebirds married.
Two years after that day, they had their first and only child. They named their new baby daughter Ellaria Shae Michaelis. Ellaria because Jean lost his sister Ellaria in a car crash and wished to honor her memory, and Shae because the pair thought it made the name sound even prettier. The Michaelis' considered Ellaria to be a completely normal baby... that is, until Katelyn brought Ellaria to the school she worked in one day and made a bassoon begin playing itself. Katelyn was so confused initially, wondering what was wrong with Ellaria. Later that day, a representative from the Ministry of Magic explained to the Michaelis family that young Ellaria was a witch.
So for years they worked to keep Ellaria's magic under control while she was still very young. By the time Ellaria was six (and calling herself Larry for short), she had learned to contain her magical abilities to an extent. When she was seven, at her mother's request, she began to take piano lessons. Even though she has never told her mother this, she used some magic to help her in learning the piano a bit faster than normal. She continues to use this technique for learning instruments to this day. When she was eleven, she received her Hogwarts acceptance letter. A wizard named Damion came and helped her with opening a Gringotts bank account, buy her school supplies, and get an toad she named Craig. When she entered Hogwarts, she was initially pretty happy to be sorted in Hufflepuff. After all, who wouldn't want to be in a house of unstereotyped, epic kids? She chose to stay out of the blood-purity-wars within Hogwarts, initially hating Slytherins and purebloods. She has given Slytherins a chance and won't stereotype them until she is convinced that they are all pureblood elitists. But she does despise the prejudiced purebloods. She is currently in her fourth year and awaits her fifth year with excitement.
Personality: The first word that comes to mind when one mentioned Larry Michaelis is odd. She has her own way of doing things, and has peculiar eccentricities. She always wears bold colors because they make her happier. She loves bizarre, bright, and sometimes ugly socks for no apparent reason. If you mention curry or coffee to her she will hound you for information regarding the location of the curry/coffee. She even named her wand Billy, for reasons that no one is even sure of. The name Billy means nothing to Larry other than the fact that she named her wand that. Then again, she tends to name inanimate objects for no particular reason. She once named a quill Robert, and when that quill broke, she held a funeral for it.
However, though she is bizarre, she has a stong, passionate love for music. She prefers instruments that few people play, however, she does play the piano at her mother's request. Since her first year, she has tried to pick up a new instrument every year. In her first year she started to learn how to play the viola. In her second year, she picked up a bassoon. In her third year, she picked up the tuba. This year she plans to learn the alto saxophone so she can walk around the campus and follow people while playing the saxophone. She is also involved in choir, using singing to help her better her instrumental skills.
Larry has an immunity to peer pressure. She doesn't care about what people think of her at all. As long as she's happy with herself, then she's fine. She doesn't care about the stares that she receives or the murmurs she hears behind her back. Larry is also bilingual, as her father immigrated to England from France. Her father often speaks to her in French to keep her use of the language consistent, and writes to her in French. Larry is physically unable to focus on a single thing for more than five minutes. Her mind drifts often and she often daydreams of the fiction novels that she loves reading.
Description: Possibly the first thing that one notices about Larry is her very long, light blonde hair. It's normally worn down or in a pony-tail and gets curlier the further down the hair goes. Her roots are a darker blonde that's closer to brown and some lowlights go through her long hair. She gets its thickness from her father's side of the family and its color from her mother. Secondly, one would easily notice Larry's eyes. They appear to look like semi-ovals and have thick lashes. Her irises are a mix of a gunmetal grey and a pale blue. Larry has pale skin that tends to burn very easily. It is impossible for her to tan, and if she does happen to tan, it is due to a healed sunburn. That tan usually disappears after a few weeks, though.
Larry has a very eccentric wardrobe to go with her eccentric personality. She prefers bright colors mixed with the color black for her shirts and jackets. Usually these shirts have bizarre slogans on them that most wizards don't get, or they show her love for one of the instruments she plays. She tends to wear blue-jean shorts or skirts that go above her knees. The skirts are usually as bold as her shirts and tend to have odd designs. She almost never chooses longer pants or skirts until the winter. She prefers shorter pants and skirts to show off her socks. It doesn't matter if Larry's in uniform or not, she always wears crazy, knee-high socks. She always tries to make sure her outfits emphasize her socks. She always wears the same pair of white tennis shoes, possibly the only boring thing about how she dresses.
