* Occupation: Student
---BACKGROUND---
* Heritage: Half-Blood
Family:
Parents: Katrina Doyle(witch) and Patrick Kennedy (muggle)-both deceased.
Susie lived with her uncle for most of her life, he is now also deceased.
Siblings: none
History: Susie's mother was a witch and her father a muggle. They were both murdered during the first war by Death Eater's. She was only two years old and since then she has been raised by her mother's older brother, who was a complete recluse and barely left the house.
Her uncle has cared for her ever since she became an Orphan and that life is all Susie knows. Susie loved her uncle and would do anything for him-he's all she had, and after all he was her uncle and he took care of her for almost 15 years. However Susie's uncle was not a social person, and was very gruff. He employed a house elf named Dinky to look after Susie and apart from lessons, the only time he ever saw Susie was at Supper, when he would read the Daily Prophet.
Susie didn't go to Hogwarts-her uncle instead choose to home school her, and has been teaching her magic ever since she was eight years old. Susie's uncle was very strict on Susie-too strict. Susie spent most of her time from the age of eight or nine studying and practising spells. Her uncle often employed extremely harsh measures in order to make sure that Susie's education met his standards which were high above the standards set at Hogwarts. She would not be allowed dinner until she perfected a certain spell, or potion, and as a result Susie's magic is much more advanced then the average 17 year old.
However due to her lonely upbringing, her social skills are very low, and she often doesn't know how to talk to people about certain things. She can be too blunt at times, and doesn't know when something is just 'not done.'
Susie rarely left the grounds of the large house. The only time she ever ventured into 'public' was when her uncle brought her to Diagon Alley every Christmas Eve. Instead Susie spent the last 15 years of her life in a lonely old mansion with only her recluse uncle, an old house elf and her books for company.
Susie lived a very lonely life for most of it, but she has never stood up to her uncle. He is all she has, and without his protection Susie would have nothing. In the past when she did stand up to him, or argue with him she was severely punished, and as it was just the two of them, and she was only a young child there was nothing she could do about it. From years of being punished heavily Susie has just learned not to stand up for herself or voice her opinions. Not because she was afraid, but because nothing was ever gained from standing up to her uncle, and now out of habit, Susie just accepts things, and does what she is told-no questions asked.
Susie's uncle had been ill on and off for many years and he eventually contracted pneumonia in October. He passed away at the beginning of December. Susie is going to Hogwarts for the remainder of the year, as she now has no one to teach her. Once she completes her NEWTS in June she will be finished schooling.
Susie was largely unaffected by the War, as she was living in Ireland, which hadn’t quite been infiltrated by Voldemort and as she rarely had contact with the rest of the wizarding world Susie knows little about the true horrors of the war.
Susie graduated from Hogwarts in June 2008, having received outstanding results. She was accepted into Mungos as a trainee healer and began her training in September 2008. Susie began to get more confident the longer she was at Mungos and made friends with a number of other students on the course. She proved to be one of the best students in the trainee program and after her year of training advanced to an Asclepiad, where she was assigned to a healer working in Spell Damage. Susie worked as an Asclepiad for 8 months before she became a Parisiian, still working in Spell Damage. She has been working as a Parisiian for a year now and so far has had no major slip up’s. As long as she doesn’t make any big mistakes she will be a fully qualified Healer in 6 months time.
When Susie originally heard about the Vampire Blood Transfusion Scheme she wasn’t keen to get involved as she was afraid that it would affect her career. However a number of Healers who were doing the scheme convinced her to take part. By the time the scheme started Susie was fully in favour of it and felt passionately about it. She was devastated when it was cancelled but hopes that it will start up again.
---GENERAL CHARACTER TRAITS---
* Personality: Susie is a very determined person and once she sets her mind to doing something-she does it. It doesn't matter how difficult the task is, Susie will make sure that she does it, once she has decided to. However, although Susie is very determined, she is not ruthless, and doesn't like to hurt people's feelings. In fact she is a pushover, and does not stand up for herself (although she is not afraid, she has just learned not to..explained in history)
Susie is also a very loyal person and would do anything for someone, no matter what the cost, (almost like a house-elves devotion to their master..scary huh?) Susie is a people pleaser, and hates to upset people. As a result she often works herself too hard, and gets over stressed unnecessarily. She also studies too hard in order to please her guardian, and as a result she is one of the smartest witches her age.
Susie is a very determined and smart person, and is very capable of looking after herself. Yet she is terrified of being left alone, and hates the idea of not having anyone to look after her. Susie is brave, but in her own way. While most people would consider Susie to be a coward and to be afraid of standing up to her guardian, she isn't. In fact she was very brave for standing by him for so long. Because although he was cruel, she loved him, and was prepared to stand by him no matter how much pain it caused her. That in itself was very brave, yet in a different way then normal.
Susie is very superstitious and if she sees a 'penny' she has to pick it up, and she refuses to walk under ladders. She believes in destiny and that what happens was 'meant to happen'. She also believes in miracles and that anything can happen.
Susie is very organized, and is always neat and tidy. Everything must be in perfect order and she hates to lose things. When Susie loses something which she uses regularly such as a quill, she cannot cope. She simply freaks until she has found it or replaced it.
Susie is also quiet and naturally a little shy, although she does open up to people eventually. All Susie really needs is to have someone who will look after her, and make her feel protected without the pain she endured at the hands of her guardian.
*Likes: Susie loves reading, and uses it as a way to escape from her life. She would like nothing better then to curl up by the fire and read all day long. Of course reading isn't the only thing Susie enjoys. She loves spending time with her friends (what little she has) and she loves swimming. The cold doesn't bother her, and she would swim outdoors even in the middle of winter.
Apart from swimming Susie isn't really into sports that much, never having had a chance to play them, though that may change once she discovers quidditch. Susie also loves singing and has a beautiful voice.
Susie loves learning new things, and spends a lot of her free time studying or just reading school books in an effort to learn more. She is also a people pleaser, and loves to make other people happy.
Dislikes: Susie hates bullies, and people who think they are above everyone else. She doesn't like snobs, and Susie considers everyone to be equal, no matter how rich or poor they are.
Susie also hates the dark, although she is not afraid of it. She just doesn't like being in the dark! She's also slightly claustrophobic and doesn't like being in small spaces, or surrounded by loads of people.
Susie doesn't like rock music, and isn't very fond of loud noises, not that they scare her, she just loves peace and quiet. Susie doesn't like care or magical creatures, and thinks it’s a very boring class. She also hates dancing, although she is very good at it. She is shy and hates to be the center of attention, and so doesn't like dancing as everyone watches.
Habits: Susie tends to bite her nails when she gets upset or nervous. She also bottles things up and doesn't talk about her emotions. Although that's mainly because she doesn't have anyone to talk to about her problems. She also sings all the times-whatever she is doing.
* Does your character like Quidditch? Susie has never played quidditch before, nor has she watched it, but she may grow to like it.
---ABILITIES---
* Strengths: Susie is very determined, and never gives up. She is also very brave and self-sacrificing(although that could be considered a weakness too) In general Susie is a very strong character, although this doesn't really come across because she is so shy.
Susie is also a very smart student and is a natural at almost anything that requires a wand. In particular her best subjects are Transfiguration, DADA, Potions and Charms. She is also excellent at dueling, as she is very talented at magic, but also because she is a quick-thinker, and very sharp when it comes to spotting things and reacting quickly.
Susie is very intuitive and observant. She notices things very quickly, and is always aware of what is going on around her. She picks things up quickly, and rarely forgets anything. She is also very good at concealing her emotions and not letting people know her true feelings.
Susie is a very good friend, and can be very protective over those she cares about. She would never let a friend come to any harm if she could prevent it, and she forgives easily. She is also fiercely loyal to those close to her.
* Weaknesses: Susie is a people pleaser, and regularly let’s people walk all over her. She hasn't yet figured out how to stand up for herself, and is often taken advantage of. She can be quiet naive at times, and tries to see the best in everyone, no matter how bad they are, or what they have done. She believes in second chances for everyone and as a result people often hurt her, and let her down.
Because Susie has been shut up in her uncle's home for so long, she doesn't really know much of what has gone on in the world since she was born. Susie doesn't know anything about the war, or Voldemort-she doesn't even know that it was Death Eater's who killed her parents. Because Susie knows so little about the world in general she would be easily influenced, and manipulated.
Susie is slow to open up to people, and doesn't have a true friend at the moment. She also bottles things up and doesn't talk about her true feelings.
Susie is very quiet, and shy. And is sometimes afraid to voice her opinion. Susie tries too hard, and worries that she will let people down. She overworks herself and gets herself into a state over unnecessary things. Susie isn't great at either divination or care of magical creatures.
Powers: Occlumency and Leilimency
---OTHER---
Pets: None
Wand: 9 ¼ inches, holly, phoenix feather (her mother's old wand)
Which Hogwarts house would you NOT like to be in?: I don't really mind...surprise me! (Though if it were a choice between Ravenclaw and some other house then I would prefer her to not be in Ravenclaw...but if that's the only house that she suits then I don't really mind)
Anything else?: Don't think so
