PERSONALITY:[/b] When most people see Norah they see someone who is happy and always that bright bubbly girl in class. She responds to the teacher to answer questions and she tried to help out her fellow students. Social is another word that describes Norah since she is one of those that say hi to people that she walks by and she smiles at them. People in bad moods annoy her even though when she gets close to the full moon Norah becomes quite a bitch. In fact the day before she becomes aggressive and dominates in any situation. If someone was to challenge her then she would basically take their head off just to prove that she is the alpha female in the room.
Another thing that people notice about Norah is that she studies hard and gets really good grades but studying is not her favorite thing to do. It is what needs to happen so she can graduate and pass all of her tests. But she wonders if any of it will come in handy once she graduates since she has no idea what will happen to her. The unknown future is scary to Norah but she is trying to take it one day at a time and enjoy the time she has with girlfriends and flirting with boys. She does like to have the attention of men but she is always worried about what they will think of her werewolf situation. That whole issue does make her a little self conscious but she hides it well. It will take the right man to make her feel comfortable about it but it is always a concern.

Family & History [IC]
MOTHER:[/b] Unknown to her
FATHER:[/b] Fenrir Greyback
SIBLINGS:[/b] 3 older siblings and 3 younger siblings
OTHER IMPORTANT FAMILY:[/b] None
HISTORY:[/b] Norah came into this family a little differently than most of her other siblings. Her father met her mother at some event that he refuses to tell her about and they ended up having a one night stand, like most of the women her father meets. This woman left him after he fell asleep and he heard nothing from her until about 10 months later. At that point he already had three children from different women but he was not expecting one to show up on his door step with a letter listing the intimate details of their relationship and how this child came to be. She did not leave her name but Fenrir knew who that woman was, at least by face and not name. He would never remember her name even though it plagued his mind. The last detail of the letter was that her name was Norah Emily Greyback.
Then another child came along, and another, and another until there were seven Greyback children running around this manor that he had acquired. It was a pretty happy childhood for all of them, although none got the attention that they needed except from the different women coming and going. Norah and her younger sister grew close since they were only 2 years apart in age and they did everything together. Well Norah basically took charge of her younger siblings after the older ones went off to Hogwarts and that was Norah’s job. Since she was still a child she hated taking care of her siblings and one night, during a full moon, she was exhausted and her youngest brother was sick. So she wanted her father to take care of him so she could actually sleep. When she got to her father’s room she opened the door and witnessed the end of his transformation. Then he turned and growled at her and all she could do was stand there with her blue eyes watching him. He lunged at her and Norah pulled back and tried to slam the door shut. Not before Norah got her forearm scratched and ran screaming from the door. Luckily the door was locked once she slammed it and she woke up the next morning with her father sitting there at the foot of her bed.
From then on her father seemed to ignore her more and more until the next full moon when he gave her a lot of attention to get her through her first transformation. Her first experience was awful and Norah felt like crap for a week afterwards. She wondered how people did this at Hogwarts and how she would survive there. Well she got to Hogwarts a few years later and had to figure it out with the help of the head of her house, Hufflepuff. Once that was all worked out she felt comfortable at Hogwarts and soon flourished with friends and schoolwork. She really became happy and found herself smiling all of the time when she was with her friends. Rarely did she want to go home but she was happy that her sibling joined her two years later. Now in her last year Norah is trying to figure out her life and what she wants to do post graduation.
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:
Harry Potter Roleplay from a different site
Why did she choose to tranform outside? She always hated the feeling of waking up in the woods afterwards since the mornings were cold and she needed to wander around to find the bag of clothing she left for herself. But once the sun had risen she would start to feel better just dirty. Norah had never formally told anyone that she was a werewolf, just a few teachers and friends. of course her family knew since her father was the cause of it. On top of having the blood inside of her she was scratched by her father when she was younger. Actually she still had the scars to prove it and they were located on her forearms, which is why Norah wore long sleeves as often as she could. Even in the summer she would be seen in a long sleeve shirt to cover them up. Her father knew what he did to her but never talked about it. He would just look at his oldest child and expect so much from her even after he did this to her. It was wierd since his basically expected her to take care of everything like a true mother would. So as the eldest child she grew up taking care of the brother that was a few months younger than her and the other siblings she had. They knew their mothers and Norah did not know hers, which was always a point of friction between her and her siblings. Also they were not werewolfs which gave Norah a connection to her father that she did not have with her other siblings. Once a month they would run free together through the woods on the hunt for something.
At this point Norah was sitting by her bag of clothing after she finished getting dressed. All of her professors knew about her condition and excused her the day after the full moon since she never quite felt like herself after the transformation. Almost out of it since her mind was still running over some things. But she was sitting on the ground trying to clear her mind as she put on sneakers. Her body felt weak, unlike the day before her transformation when she felt strong and able to take down anyone in her way. The few days before the transformation was actually the time when she got into the most fights since her blood was running faster and hotter. Now she felt deflated and putting on her sneakers was a work out within itself. But it was quiet right now and she felt so alone in the world. It was scary but she wanted some company so she was not so alone.
But alone she sat with her sneakers on and then eventually her Slytherin sweater to keep her warm even though the sun was out. The forest was still quite cold and full of the morning moisture. her blonde hair was quiet messy so her next step was to get out her brush and comb her hair. She pulled out the knots and then pulled her hair into a low ponytail so it was out of her face. The walk back to the castle would be long and she would be given weird looks if she walked in when the students were between classes. But its not like rumors didn't already go around about her fathers blood status and then with norah being in slytherin her blood was questioned all of the time. was she was pureblood? or was she just some half blood with some werewolf thrown in. It was annoying to not be able to answer the questions about her blood status but she was lost int he world as well.
