Strengths:
Addison is a gentle, kind person, who wouldn't go out of her way to try and offend anyone deliberately. Easygoing and placid, she tends to just role with it, without making a fuss or really thinking about her actions much. She loves to have a good time, and she doesn't take herself or anyone else too seriously. If you're a friend, she's loyal and trustworthy, the typical Hufflepuff alumnus really.

Weaknesses:
Sometimes she can be tactless because she doesn't really think about what she's going to say before she says it, and her fairly blunt nature can give off the wrong impression. She's gullible, very easily fooled - she'll believe the most absurd things from just about anyone. Impatient, she hates to have to wait for anything, or ever be bored, and queues are her worst nightmare.



Addison Tia was born in Kent, England, to Owen and Maria Lock, on 3rd December, 1996. The reasonably large house the family lived in for the first eight years of Addison, or Addie as her siblings often called her, was in a rural area of Kent, where the grounds where plentiful. She was always passionate about nature and spent most of her childhood outside climbing trees, making mud pies and playing with her siblings. The children were a close-knit group, unlike other siblings very rarely arguing, probably due to the fact they were fairly close in age, and had very little to do other than spend time with each other. Mini quidditch matches were common between the children, and probably the only time they ever got annoyed with each other, when their competitive sides came out and they argued about the rules and who won.

When Addie was eight years old, her father left her mother. Although the divorce got her mother a bit of money, they could no longer afford to live in the large country house like before, or live with the same lifestyle they'd become accustomed to. They moved to a small two-bedroom flat in the city, although still in Kent. Addison didn't see her father very often from then on, since he moved to London and soon afterwards found himself a new girlfriend. Apart from the occasional muggle phone call, none of the children cared very much about communicating with him often. Addison absolutely idolised her mother from a young age. Mummy's Little Girl, she wanted to be just like Maria, even wanting to copy her job as a healer before she discovered her passion for other possible careers (ie. fairy princess, queen of the unicorns).

As the children had been raised with complete knowledge of the magical world, her brother's Hogwarts letter wasn't a surprise, nor was hers when it came a couple of years later. She'd made a flower fly when she was six, proving her magic early on. Being separate from her mother and younger siblings was a sudden shock, and she felt quite homesick at first, before she realised how great her new friends at school were, and how much fun it was at magic school. Even in her first year, she was near the top of the class in Potions, Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures, from a young age excelling in a specific type of subject. Her planned career path changed a lot throughout her first couple of years at school. First she wanted to be a Herbologist, then a Unicorn Trainer, and so on.

When it came to exams later in school, she was average level in most subjects, but achieved Os regularly in her favourite three. Upon acceptance to Merlin's Academy, she was incredibly excited, and couldn't wait to get there. Her first year went well, but as time goes on, she seems to be losing concentration more and more, and becoming less and less caring about studying and working to the best of her ability.
