Referred By: Google
Name: Bronwyn (Moire) Cunningham
Age: 11
Sex: female
Nationality: Completely Scottish on her father's side, mostly Scottish with a touch of Welsh on her mother's side.
Speech: English with a Scottish accent, a few Scots Gaelic phrases, a few Welsh phrases.
Blood: Pure
Father: Marcas Cunningham
Mother: Aeliana Cunningham (nee MacFergus)
Siblings: none
Other Family: The obvious grandparents, and her father has a younger sister, but no one has heard from her in years, and they're not sure she's still alive.
Family Interactions: Bronwyn isn't close to either of her parents, but (whether she admits it or not) she is closer to her mother than her father. Her father, Marcas, isn't around very much, and if he is, he's locked in his study, usually on the phone with associates. Aeliana, Bronny's mother, does nothing but lounge around the house all day, reading romance novels and watching her drama programmes. Marcas and Aeliana are all but divorced; they sleep in separate bedrooms and are only still technically together for the sake of appearances.
Marcas, a pureblood wizard from an old Scottish family, is strong, stubborn, and a bit abrasive. He doesn't care much for friends; he surrounds himself with hand picked "associates", people there to do his bidding. Marcas owns several businesses and half of the town he lives in, collecting rent from the houses and shops each month. He has a loyalty to his family, but only insofar as it can serve him; he believes in continuing the family name, which makes him disappointed that Bronwyn wasn't born male.
Aeliana is also from a pureblood family, but her line has some Welsh mixed in; her grandmother was a Welsh woman, who married into the MacFergus clan. The frail woman is unmotivated and does nothing, preferring to leave the house as little as possible. She hates anything that takes any effort to do, especially anything that could get herself or her clothes mussed. Bronny has inherited this tidy trait. The dislike of work pushed Aeliana to hire a young woman, Payton, to look after Bronwyn, and take her to Diagon Alley and (after the first year) to and from Kings Cross.
Height: 4' 9''
Weight: 79 pounds
Hair: a dirty blonde color, mid chest length. She has long bangs that she usually keeps clipped back on the left side.
Eyes: blue
Skin Colour: somewhat pale and creamy
Clothing style:
Bronwyn likes to look nice. She prefers skirts over pants, unless she wants to gallivant around outside. Her mother is a bit picky about her clothes, and given that she or Payton usually buy them for Bronny, her opinion in them only goes so far. She prefers to wear green, white, grey and black, but will also tolerate dark blues or pale pinks. Bronny wears a lot of cardigans, especially if she's wearing jeans. Most of her clothes have nice accents; cloth-covered buttons, sleeves with ruffles at the end, or bows. She revels in the details.
Accessories:
Bronny has a snake ring that was given to her by her grandmother on her father's side when she was born; she's not supposed to wear it, since it's very valuable, but she tends to anyway. She usually wears a short, simple, gunmetal chain with a unicorn pendant of the same color. The unicorn is representative of the Cunningham clan's crest, which has a unicorn and the phrase "Over Fork Over"; the first Cunningham aided in the hiding of Prince Malcolm by forking straw over him and therefore saving his life.
Other: Bronwyn doesn't have any other features of note; she hasn't had her ears pierced, and, being eleven, has no tattoos. That could change in the future, but it would be something tasteful and out of sight.
Paragraph Format: Bronny cares very much about appearances; she believes it's very important to look your best at all times, because your appearance is what people see first. Therefore, she tends to judge others based on appearance as well. It should be a given by now that she's just a tad vain, and more than slightly arrogant.
Bronny is rather short and she looks frail, since she doesn't weigh very much. Her skin is pale and creamy; she doesn't venture outside often, because there are dirt and bugs out there, both things she hates. . . not to mention the muggle children. Her blue eyes aren't particularly striking, until she gets angry, and then they're steely blue and hard, with an inexplicable fire behind them.
Her dirty blonde hair is usually worn straight with her bangs clipped out of her face; she's just a bit picky about keeping her hair neat, and hates when it gets mussed.
Like the rest of her family, Bronny has an inexplicably high metabolism, which is good because she likes sweets and hates going outdoors. Her mother does force her to go for a swim every two days, though; the woman has Payton drag her into Glasgow, to the gym. She looks a bit breakable, but she's tougher than she appears, and isn't to be messed with.
Bronny is usually smiling, but the smile doesn't reach her eyes and feels shallow. It is. She wears only jewelry that means something to her, preferring to be tasteful rather than flashy. Her muggle clothes have all been tailored to fit her perfectly, as have her robes and the like. Aeliana wouldn't allow her daughter to wear something that looked shabby (not that Bronny would want to).
Personality:
At first glance: When you first meet Bronwyn, you think she could be sweet. She’s mostly courteous, but she doesn't take insults lightly. Bronwyn doesn't approve of riding on the coat tails of your family name to get ahead. She has a thirst to prove herself by her own merits, which is only exacerbated when everyone places too much weight on family name. She's from a pureblood family, but doesn't throw their name around like so many other students tend to. People would rarely call Bronwyn rude, but she isn't one to mince words. She has a bit of a temper, but tries not to let it out; when it does come out, it's not physical. Bronny uses her words to cut, and she's pretty good at it.
To her friends: Bronwyn mostly sees friends as a means to an end. She’s learned from her father that in order to get to the top, you have to have people around you to use. Marcas calls them associates, but Bronwyn still calls them friends, so they don’t catch on. She expects her friends to be unfailingly loyal to her, and is quick to cast out one who seems to falter. People want to be around her, and there’s really no obvious reason for that; she doesn’t put off a warm vibe. It’s more likely that people know that she’s going somewhere, and want to tag along for the ride.
To her enemies: Bronwyn doesn’t physically fight. She has her friends do that for her. Why get messy? She doesn’t really see anyone as an enemy, because in order to be an enemy, that means they’d have to get to her level, and that’s impossible. She does have what she calls “annoyances”, and she makes their lives difficult. If Bronwyn decides to deal with someone herself, it'll be with words, or, once she learns them, spells. She's rather good with both.
History:
Bronny's family, the Cunninghams, have been in Scotland for a long time. As mentioned above, the first Cunningham (named Friskin) hid Prince Malcom under some hay and saved his life. The family is mainly centered around Ayrshire, which is on Scotland's west coast, west of Glasgow. Bronwyn and her parents live in West Kilbride, a small village on the sea. All of her father's family lives in or around Ayrshire, the furthest being in Glasgow. Her mother's family is a bit more spread out, and some of them live in Wales.
Bronwyn is Marcas and Aeliana's only child, and there's no plan of ever having another. She would be lonely, if she ever let herself get bored. When she's forced to be outside, she prefers to people watch from a clean place. Although she comes from a wizarding family, her parents have always had muggle technology in the house, since her father does business with muggles. Therefore, she's accustomed to the internet, and spends a good deal of time reading books online about techniques used by famous leaders. That, and playing useless flash games. While her family may hate muggles, they love to take muggle technology and use it for their own means, though the idea of Marcas being caught dead with a Bluetooth on his ear would make him grimace and make Bronwyn smirk.
Bronwyn Moire Cunningham was born on May 6 and is now a very confident, determined 11 year old witch. Up until now, her main concerns have been studying the habits of world leaders and taking notes, playing strategy games against other people online, and trying to catch her father in one place long enough to ask questions about what exactly it is that he does. After having received her Hogwarts letter, these habits haven't changed much.
When she thinks about her time at Hogwarts, the main point in her mind is forming a little group of cohorts (read: henchmen) that are unfailingly loyal and willing to do her dirty work. Bronwyn sees Hogwarts as a stepping stone for her wizarding career, and in order to get through it without going insane, she'll need to vent a bit of frustration on what she calls her "annoyances". Bronny wants a job in the Ministry, but she isn't sure where yet; she wants to be in charge and continually work her way up so that she can change things, since she's not entirely happy with the Ministry as-is.
