{ EMBYR RIVERS well I'm accepting now home may never exist it's a Pacific-sized myth with an Atlantic twist
BASICS NAME: Embyr Rivers NICKNAMES: "Em" is pretty common. Very few are aware that her da' calls her "Runt." AGE \| DOB: 16 \| August 1st, 1981 HOGWARTS HOUSE \| YEAR: Gryffindor \| Class of 1999 BLOOD STATUS: Muggleborn. RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single SEXUALITY: Heterosexual OCCUPATION: Student LOCATION: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry FAMILY BACKGROUND: Embyr is the only child of Alice and Declan Rivers, owners of the Three Rivers Pub in Ardmore, Ireland.	physical appearance YOU'VE GOTTA ANCHOR YOURSELF IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DRIFT _______________________________ At just over 1.5 metres (5'), Embyr is diminutive in size compared to many of her post-pubescent friends. Narrow shoulders and "barely any breasts" contribute to the vision of a sixteen-year-old trapped in a tween's body, and Embyr is still working on embracing what God gave her (or, in her case, forgot to give her). Blonde hair is often worn short, above her shoulders, and very rarely styled. That "just got out of bed" look that so many girls attempt for hours in the common bathrooms is something Embyr has perfected, simply by "just getting out of bed." What's a curling iron? Vivid green eyes contribute to a face that is incredibly communicative, despite any attempts Em makes to hide what she's feeling. She's open, verbally and emotionally, and her expression often betrays any and all secrets she tries to keep. Not that she doesn't try. When she's not required to wear the standard Hogwarts-issue skirt, sweater, tie, and robes, Em is in her turquoise Converse All-Stars, denim jeans that have seen far too many adventures, and whatever bright and obnoxious shirts she can find. Embyr avoids any and all opportunities to dress up, and doesn't regret it one bit. As far as mannerisms, when something goes drastically wrong for her, Embyr has the tendency to wreak havoc on projects. On more than one occasion, Em has been seen scouring the Common Room, bathroom, and the sixth-year girls' dormitory, knowing quite well that there are house elves who do those exact jobs. This may have led to a friendship with Hermione Granger (due to her unknowing support of S.P.E.W.), though that certainly depends on Miss Hermione!
personality BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN SO CLEAR, I WANT YOU NEAR _______________________________ What Embyr lacks in size, she makes up for in personality. Pugnacious and stubborn, she doesn't know when to back down, and considers it a vast miscalculation of her character when those around her assume she's weak. In school, Em is loyal to her housemates and friends to an extreme, and isn't above getting into physical fights with anyone who affronts those she cares for. When people first meet Em, they have an immediate impression of an incredibly upbeat girl. She seeks the positive in every situation, and it takes quite an effort to upset her view of the world. One exception to this rule, obviously, is Em's mistrust of Slytherins. In her opinion, there's a reason the snake is their mascot, and she's quite pleased that their dormitory is far, far away from the Gryffindor Common Room. Oddly enough, Em tends to excel in Potions, despite the classroom's proximity to her untrustworthy classmates. Unfortunately, not everyone seeks out friendship with such an effervescent girl, and Embyr can come off as quite obnoxious to people who don't want her attention. She just wants everyone to have the same positive outlook, and really... that is an irrational hope. She usually gives it one-try-too-many before she gives up on making friends, and may or may not have a reputation for being obnoxious amongst those in Ravenclaw. That, paired with her utterly abysmal wandwork, makes her a bit of a joke within scholarly circles. She tries, but there have been more than one occasion that Em pondered whether she'd been given her acceptance letter on accident. Transfiguration, in particular, poses a challenge for the girl, and she's seeking a tutor to help her prepare for the NEWTs. Likes: Chocolate, berries, chocolatey berries. Loud music. Flying. Finally transfiguring that bloody snail. Dislikes: Scowls. Her wand's tendency to malfunction. Treacle tart. Cold weather.	5 RANDOM FACTS ‹‹ Embyr causes kitchen appliances to explode if she attempts to use them. ‹‹ She tried out for the Gryffindor Quidditch team as a beater, and was laughed off the field. The girl can, however, fly. ‹‹ Embyr is absolutely terrified of hospitals. Muggle or Magical, it doesn't matter. They all freak her out. ‹‹ Though she wasn’t a Ravenclaw and never had extremely high marks in the subjects that apparently “counted,” Embyr is much smarter than most of her housemates and friends assume. Had she attended school with her muggle neighbours, her marks would likely have been stellar. ‹‹ With a bartender for a father, Em is the master of drink mixing. She can make any cocktail served at the Three Rivers from memory, and would be more than happy to prove it.
biography SHE AND I, TOGETHER WE RUN UNTIL THE DAY RUNS OUT, TOMORROW WON'T COME _______________________________ Embyr grew up in a small fishing community in Southeast Ireland. Her parents, Declan and Alice Rivers, owned and ran the Three Rivers Pub, a popular local and tourist hotspot. As a girl, Embyr spent most of her days (and a fair share of her evenings) playing with her friends in the pub. She was on a first-name basis with the regulars, bringing drinks to tables and helping her mum take orders when her parents decided they'd be training her to run the pub when she grew older. Understandably, it was a bit of a shock when the Hogwarts representative arrived on the Rivers' doorstep right before she turned eleven to tell her that she'd gained acceptance to a school they had never heard of before. On September the 1st, one month after Embyr turned eleven, the Rivers family was crowded around the barrier between platforms nine and ten. The girl, who had never before left Ireland, was absolutely terrified, and incredibly excited! While she loved Ardmore, she had what her parents called the "wanderlust." Finally, she'd be able to fulfill her desires, and go places and DO things she'd never done before. Her parents, born and raised with a heavy emphasis on myths and fairytales, were amused at the idea of their daughter attending a "school of witchcraft and wizardry." Of course, that didn't mean they knew what to expect when their daughter returned home for the summer. Declan and Alice were convinced that Embyr would get the magic out of her system and return to Ardmore after several years, ready to run the pub once her parents wanted to tretire. Oho! That was not the life that Embyr wanted for herself! Em found herself avoiding going home for the holidays (where her mum spent every waking moment trying to teach her how to cook the various menu items offered at The Three Rivers and her da' taught her how to "build a proper Guinness"). She still cares for her parents (and serves at the pub over the summers), but she's quite certain that they'll never understand her way of life. At Hogwarts, Embyr quickly made friends with members of several houses, and tends to maintain those friendships. She relies on constant companionship, and is absolute shite at spending time alone. As a student, she's absolutely horrid, and considers her time spend in the classroom only as dreaded hours she needs to wade through in order to get to the "fun" times: meals (the girl eats more than most American football players), weekends, and evenings spent in the Common Room while she pretends she doesn't have any homework. Embyr does have some magical talent: she's a stellar flyer, and she manages to get As and Es in Potions. In Charms, she's had more than one O. No one has yet been able to help her channel her talent in Charms in such a way that'll help her succeed at Transfiguration. At this point, she's sure it's a lost cause. [Seeking a male best friend, if possible! Past friendships have been with Justin Finch-Fletchley and Zacharias Smith. Also seeking a love interest!]
writing sample Christ Jesus, I am never consuming treacle tart again. Hold me to this, mates, no matter how much I may protest. Yes, I know. I love dessert. I love food in general, really. You're surprised? Shove off. I am an eating machine. But something. SOMETHING. Something was off with that treacle tart, last night. I should've known. Those house elves didn't take too kindly to my Common Room cleaning spree. Poison? No, I won't go that far. But they did something to that treacle tart. Something terrible. Blasphemous. Turning food into a weapon is a shameful thing to do, and that's exactly what they did. Do I have proof? Don't ask me that. You'll hurt my feelings. Anyway. Spent the night cradling the porcelain, and not for any of those fun, misguided-teen-drinking-too-much-firewhiskey reasons. One of the 7th years stumbled in on me in the wee hours of the morning and muttered a few words that she didn't mean. Something about the Hospital Wing and Madame Pomfrey. Luckily I fought her off. ~~It couldn't possibly have been the scent of vomit that kept her away. Surely not.~~ If Professor Binns asks after me (he usually calls me Amber. Or Emily. I'll answer to both for him.) just let him know I'm learning my own version of History of Magic, namely by reading the graffiti and other scrawlings on the Hogwarts bathroom stalls. Send him a kiss for me, will you?
