Personality:  Liv is very snarky.  She tends to be a bit shy at first, but as soon as she thinks you're okay, she's a firecracker.  It takes a lot to get on her bad side, too, as she is one who tends to need to be pushed to the extreme before getting very angry.  Liv is also strong willed and independent.  Her older brother never needed to worry about protecting her because she was alwas very capable of doing so herself.


Bio:

Before School Years: Liv quickly decided she wanted to be called that rather than Persephone.  What were her parents thinking?  She could not remember her parents at all; she was barely a year or two old when they were found murdered by the Death Eaters.  She always remembered being in the wand shoppe with her grandpa while he worked.  She found it frustrating sometimes when her grandpa always said she was the spitting image of her mum.  It made Liv feel close to her, but she was trying to be her own person.

During School Years:  Liv was easily able to befriend Jada Monroe.  She was oneof the few who stood up for Jada not having a normal family life.  Perhaps it was because Liv was raised by her grandparentsso she was able to understand not having a normal family dynamics.  Because of her brother's friendship with Bill Weasley, Liv was welcomed into the home of the Weasleys just as easily.  She was in the same year as Fred and George, and she became really good mates with them and Lee Jordan.  Of course, she always had a mighty crush on Charlie.  After he went off to Romania, it was crushing for Liv.  However, there was that one time when he came home... they sort of ended up having an on again/off again until they both found somebody highly important to them.

Though Liv never flew, she was always a fan of watching the games.  She became quite a fan for the Gryffindor team, though it was because she fancied the Beaters' best mate, Lee, in her later years at Hogwarts.  She and Lee ended up dating in their seventh year and she was pretty sure she fell for him.  Hard.

After School Years:  Liv was really into the Order, along with Lee.  They had gotten engaged a year after they graduated, but they did nto get married until 1999, after the war was over.  Neither one wanted to do something so major with a war going on, though they were more than willing to be a part of George's and Fred's wedding.  Persephone and Lee are a perfect match for each other -- he grounds her intelligence with jokes, and she lightens his days with her kind hearted personality.

About Liv's Wand:
"Alder is an unyielding wood, yet I have discovered that its ideal owner is not stubborn or obstinate, but often helpful, considerate and most likeable. Whereas most wand woods seek similarity in the characters of those they will best serve, alder is unusual in that it seems to desire a nature that is, if not precisely opposite to its own, then certainly of a markedly different type. When an alder wand is happily placed, it becomes a magnificent, loyal helpmate. Of all wand types, alder is best suited to non-verbal spell work, whence comes its reputation for being suitable only for the most advanced witches and wizards." -- According to Grandpa

Hello, doll.  *winks*

Why do you always call me doll, Lee?

Why not?  I thought you liked it.

I do... but I was just curious.

Riiight... I think this is your way of saying you dislike being called doll. *winks*

*rolls eyes*  Oh, shut it, Lee.

That's code for you loving it.  *grins*  I win.

That's not code for anything.

Why hello there.

Jada, we didn't need an interruption.

Oh no, her interruption is just fine *winks*
