PERSONALITY
Jemma is great at breaking the ice with her happy-go-lucky personality and witty jokes. She always sees the positive side to situations and never lets herself feel blue. To Jemma, there is always a solution to a problem, no matter how daunting it may seem. She sees the good in everyone and never repeats rumors filled with hurtful gossip. She is a great listener and loves to give advice to people. Jemma will take time to fully analyze a problem so that she can give the best advice possible. Jemma always knows the right encouraging words to say in order to lift up someone else's spirits.

BACKGROUND 
Jemma's family was not as removed from the Wizarding War as they would've liked to have been, despite living in Northern Ireland. Her father, Brennan, was often called to London to help defend Gringotts Wizarding Bank from the Death Eaters and to break powerful curses that had been cast. Jemma's mother, Flannery, did her part by concocting potions and shipping them to hospitals or clinics that were understaffed. Since Jemma had no siblings to play with, she often helped her mother with potion-making by preparing ingredients or watching for important color changes. When the war ended, Brennan often took his family with him whenever he went abroad, because he didn't want to leave Flannery and Jemma alone any longer than he had to. At home, Jemma would play with dolls that her mother enchanted for her or run around the house, playing chase with her father when he was home. She also enjoyed playing on the magical swingset and treehouse that Brennan built for her. As an only child, she would think up interesting games to play or make up stories in her head to entertain herself.

A new adventure:
 
ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT GOING TO HOGWARTS? "Oh, yes, I've been waiting for my letter for years! It can be a bit lonely being an only child, so I can't wait to meet new people and make some friends!"

WHICH HOUSE DO YOU WANT TO GET INTO? "Gryffindor seems like there'd always be fun, exciting things to do!"

IS THERE A HOUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE IN? "I'm honestly perfectly fine with any house that I'm sorted in! They all have great qualities that I'd be happy to show."

WHICH CLASS ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? "Charms sounds very fun and quite useful. Transfiguration sounds a bit harder, so I'd like to get basic spellwork down first before moving on."

WILL YOU BE TRYING OUT FOR QUIDDITCH? "Probably not. I've never flown on a broom before, to be honest. But I'll definitely have lots of fun cheering on my house team during the games!"

ARE YOU BRINGING A PET? "No, I'm not. Mum has a strict no-pets rule, since she doesn't want any animals accidentally drinking her potions while she isn't looking. But I don't mind not having a pet, since I'll hopefully make a lot of friends at school instead."

ANY THOUGHTS ON HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED OR HIS FOLLOWERS? "I'm just glad he's finally gone. I don't remember much, since I was so young, but Mum was really sad and scared whenever Dad was in London to help defend Gringotts."

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? "I hope you have a wonderful day!"
Any last words:
 
COMMENTS: And here is Jemma! I hope you like her as well and I can't wait for the shenanigans this trio gets up to at Hogwarts! ^^

Alyvia Alyn Lind is absolutely adorable <3 As is Jemma! What is this sweetheart doing being friends with crazies like Evera and Drake? xD She's so practical about which classes she wants to take as well, and can I just say I LOVE that she's not trying out for Quidditch? It feels like everyone in this year is making an attempt and like, three or four of them will actually end up on the teams. There will be a lot of disappointment xD
