The Looks [IC]
HAIR COLOR:[/b] Naturally brown, but she dyed it red in her fourth year and has kept it that way ever since, except occasionally when she goes back to brown because she feels red has got boring. Long and straight, but she curls it occasionally for parties, and has contemplated cutting it short.
EYE COLOR:[/b] Brown. Her eyes are rather big, and she is very good at giving the ‘puppy dog eyes’ look to anyone she wants to pressurize into doing something for her.
SKIN TONE:[/b] Pale, doesn’t tan, but gets sunburnt easily.
BODY SHAPE:[/b] Slender and tall, almost model-like.
OVERALL APPEARANCE:[/b] Nicola has a sweet and demure look to her (an almost direct opposite of her personality). She has a small, heart-shaped face, with a dimple in the left cheek. She’s quite slim, but is constantly obsessing over losing her figure and so is on an almost permanent diet. Her dressing style reflects her personality; she has a constant need to stand out, so she can nearly always be found wearing something, so to speak, ‘wackadoodle’. Even if it’s just the simple blouse and skirt of the Hogwarts uniform, she tweaks it a little bit; she adds an eye-catching piece of jewellery, or turns up the hem of the skirt by a couple of inches.
PLAY BY:[/b] Ariana Grande.

------------
Personality [IC]
LIKES:[/b] Being noticed, being talked about (in a good way or a bad way, to be frank, she doesn’t really care), wearing self-designed clothes, Muggle music, Muggle TV shows, Firewhiskey, playing her guitar, singing, dancing (though she isn’t trained, she just jumps around like a crazy person), hot guys, getting attention from her parents, getting (whatever little) attention from Leon.
DISLIKES:[/b] The fact that Pippa gets more attention, the fact that Pippa has a naturally gifted voice, the fact that Leon likes Pippa more, being ignored, getting detention, being asked to stay quiet, the rumours Pippa spreads about her, hangovers, having to study, cloudy days.
BAD HABITS:[/b] Drinks probably too much for her own good, tells people what she thinks of them without sugar-coating it, often mouths off to her superiors, spreads rumours about herself because she constantly wants to be talked about, flirts with any guy she deems hot, no matter what their age, frequently skips class, rarely if ever pays attention in class if she does attend, bitches about Pippa to her friends (though most of it is exaggeration), swears a lot, sometimes going overboard with it.
GOOD HABITS:[/b] Eats extremely healthy, goes for a run around the Hogwarts grounds every day, practices her singing at least once a week, practices playing guitar whenever she can make the time for it, strikes up a conversation with anyone, even people she barely knows.
STRENGTHS:[/b] Determined, passionate, a very good guitar player, a reasonably decent singer, an extremely loyal friend once she actually forms a friendship with someone, very charming when she wants to be.
WEAKNESSES:[/b] An attention whore, brutally honest, is sometimes irrational when making decisions, couldn’t care less about her studies, something of a bitch when she wants to be.
PERSONALITY:[/b] Frankly, Nicola is something of an attention whore. Growing up thinking that she was the least loved out of all her siblings, she began hankering after attention as soon as she started Hogwarts. She can do anything, literally anything just to be talked about or noticed; she’ll dress up in an eye-catching dress one day, the next she’ll write something about herself in the Burn Book. She really doesn’t care whether the publicity she gets is good or bad; she lives by the motto ‘any publicity is good publicity’. But that motto only stands so long as the rumours in question are about her or Pippa. If by any chance, rumours about Kenzie, Euan, their parents or anything related to their family life crop up, she will do her utmost best to quash those rumours.
She enjoys the fame she gets around the school from being Donaghan Tremlett’s daughter, and has used it a fair few times to her advantage. Unlike her sisters, she revels in the attention she gets because of her famous father, and will often sing for people if she’s asked to.
She’s not scared of anything, or so she thinks. Growing up, she used to do the most ridiculous dares people asked her to do. Now, once she’s entered her teens, she shows her courage in other things; she will boldly go up and say whatever she thinks about someone to that person, and not care about how they react or who they tell. She’s not afraid to hit on any guy either; if they’re hot, they’re fair game, whatever their age, house or blood status. She has barely any qualms when it comes to the opposite sex. She’s snogged a fair amount of boys, and gotten to second or third base with one or two of them as well, but, again, has enough self-respect not to sleep with anything that moves – she’s waiting for someone who really actually likes her for who she is, and not just because she’s ‘easy’ or because she’s Donaghan Tremlett’s daughter.
She has two main sides to her personality. The first one is the one she displays when she’s around her friends; she’s a laid-back, street-smart girl, who’s always full of witty comebacks and one-liners, and just generally fun to be around. She’s extremely talkative, and she can talk to anyone under the sun about anything, as long as she doesn’t dislike them. Place her in front of a brick wall and she’d probably manage to make it talk too. She takes a little getting used to, because of her general ‘I don’t give a fuck’ attitude and her frequent swearing, but once you warm up to her, she’ll probably be loyal to you forever, unless you do something to break her trust. If you do that, consider all ties with her broken forever, and she’ll never associate with you again.
However, with people she doesn’t like or is generally jealous of, Nicola is a somewhat different person. She will be a complete and utter bitch to you if she doesn’t like you, and expect nasty rumours about you plastered around the school. She holds grudges for a very long time, rarely forgetting wrongs done to her. To these people, she’s icy and bitchy, and she can be your worst enemy if you wrong her somehow.
Like the rest of her siblings, she too enjoys music, having being trained in it from a very young age. She likes to sing, although she isn’t great at it like Pippa and Kenzie are. She likes to play the guitar more than she likes to sing, and she’s also much better at it. She, like her siblings, aspires to become a musician as well, though, again, she wants to make it big as a guitarist rather than a singer.

Memories [IC]
BOGGART:[/b] Fire; she’s pyrophobic.
DEMENTOR:[/b] The time Pippa was involved in the accident with the heroin. Nicola was at home, and when she heard the news, she was absolutely shocked and stopped responding to the people talking to her, becoming almost mechanical. She only went back to normal when Pippa finally returned home safely.
PATRONUS:[/b] The first time she was allowed into one of the Weird Sisters’ rehearsals; she found the experience absolutely magical, and since then, nothing has ever delighted her as much, not even her first glimpse of Hogwarts.
MIRROR OF ERISED:[/b] To become a guitarist in a world-famous band.
VERITASERUM:[/b] 1) She doesn’t hate Pippa as much as she lets on in public; she’s merely
2) She has a crippling fear of fire.
3) Though she has a reputation of being a slut, she hasn’t actually had sex with anyone yet. She’s always up for a snog, and has gone a little bit further with some boys, but she does have some self-respect and, as clichéd as it sounds, is waiting for the right person.
4) She really, really hates her birthday, because for one, it falls during the winter holidays, so none of her friends are able to wish her properly, and two, because everyone is still recovering from the Christmas high and she’s often forgotten.
5) She’s had a long-term crush on the lead guitarist of the Fifth Horseman. It’s fizzled out a little bit now, but before, she used to be absolutely crazy about him and beg to accompany Pippa and Kenzie whenever they went to visit the band.
6) When she was younger, she used to steal small things from the Muggles who lived around her. Every time her mother saw her with one of those trinkets in her hand, she’d make her go up to the front door of that house, ring the doorbell, admit to stealing it, apologise and return it.
AMORTENTIA:[/b] Her mother’s lemon tarts, salted peanuts, blood (she honestly doesn’t know why).

HISTORY:[/b] Nicola was born into the Tremlett family, the third of four siblings, on 28 December 2006. She was born just three days after Christmas, something she regrets even now, because her birthday falls in between Christmas and New Year’s Day, so it is often forgotten. She, like her sister Pippa after her, was a happy, loud baby, always looking for something to do. She screamed and cried a lot as well.
Growing up, Pippa and Nicola, being so close in age, were often forced to play with each other. Given their similar (at that time) personalities and loudness, this predictably ended badly. Often, they ended up yelling at each other, or throwing things, and their refusal to admit that they were in the wrong further widened the gap between them. Pippa was closer to Kenzie than Nicola; Nicola, herself, preferred Euan to her sisters.
Even now, Pippa and Nicola have a turbulent relationship. In school, they rarely, if ever, talk to each other, and if they do, be sure that it’ll end in an argument, sometimes accompanied by spells thrown. They also spread rumours about each other within their respective years; the rumours are half-truths, but both Pippa and Nicola exaggerate a lot. Kenzie and Nicola, meanwhile, share a fairly decent relationship; even though Kenzie and Pippa are closer, Nicola doesn’t argue with her like she does with Pippa. They do write each other sometimes, and Kenzie often reminds Nicola to be nicer to Pippa, though she doesn’t often heed her.
Since their father was Muggle-born, the Tremletts grew up in a Muggle neighbourhood. They all spent their early years there, and attended Muggle primary schools. Nicola, even at that young age, was the troublemaker of the class; her voice would often be the loudest among everyone else’s. However, once she began having accidental bursts of magic, people began branding her a ‘witch’ and a ‘freak’. Struggling to stave off this reputation, she tried her best to fit in; she would often accept the most dangerous dares given to her by her muggle friends. She’s even stolen small trinkets from the muggles around her, but she always returned them afterwards (though she probably wouldn’t have if her mother hadn’t made her).
Nicola had always loved her father’s fame and success, but wasn’t too keen on travelling with him when he went for tours and such, mostly because Pippa always accompanied him. But she loved going into the recording studio where the band practiced. She loves the Weird Sisters’ songs, and knows the words to nearly all of them (even the one her father wrote about Pippa’s birth, though she only learnt that one so she could say she knew all their songs by heart).
Nicola too, eventually, received her Hogwarts letter at the age of eleven, and she was as happy as a clam to be receiving it. Since Euan and Kenzie were both of age now, they showed her the magic they’d learnt and told her stories, and those stories delighted her. She couldn’t wait to go.
When she did go, she was Sorted into Gryffindor almost immediately. She loved the attention people gave her when they found out she was a Tremlett daughter, and flourished in it, but even though she had many admirers because of her famous name, she only really opened up to a few people. Though she still sings when people asks her to sing, she draws a clear line between ‘people who like me for my famous name’ and ‘people who like me for who I am’. She got along with nearly everybody, and made friends (and many enemies too) fast. When she got home that summer, she told Pippa stories about it, and showed her some of the spells she’d learnt as well.
On her twelfth birthday, her father gave her a guitar as a birthday/late Christmas present. She instantly took a liking to playing guitar, and would practice whenever she got the free time to. It was then that she decided that her life’s ambition was to become a guitarist. It was as well, she decided, because she wasn’t a very good singer anyway.
Then came the incident that would probably change the Tremletts’ lives forever. It was the summer of Nicola’s fifth year, and she’d already made so many friends at Hogwarts that her Muggle friends didn’t really matter to her anymore. Pippa, on the other hand, still wanted to fit in with them, and so she went with them to a concert. Nicola warned her against it, knowing that they weren’t good company, but once she learnt that Kenzie was going as well, she relaxed a little and didn’t really worry anymore.
Only a few hours later, her father’s Patronus bounded into the house to give them the news. Nicola was, to say the least, devastated. She went into shock, becoming almost mechanical, and stopped responding to human contact. When she finally got to go and see Pippa in the hospital, she was hysterical with sobs, and wouldn’t leave Pippa’s bedside, having to be bodily dragged out by Euan and Kenzie.
Her fifth year rolled around like any other year, though now, she was slightly gentler to Pippa. When they were alone, she was even semi-nice to her, though in public, she was still as vindictive and bitchy towards her as before. Meanwhile, her life continued; she skipped classes, frequently got detention and discovered the wonders of the opposite sex. She snogged a lot of boys in her fifth year and perhaps, this is what led to her reputation as a ‘slut’.
Unfortunately, she did very poorly in her owls, only scraping three of them. Honestly, she couldn’t care less, because her dream job doesn’t require good grades to be good at. Meanwhile, she’s living life to the fullest, and supporting her sister Kenzie wholeheartedly as she tries to make it big as a solo singer.
