hello there, my name is claire slater but you can call me just claire. i'm 21 so that makes me a graduate of Hogwarts, where I resided in gryffindor house. You could say I'm brave, daring, & chivalrous but I personally think that I am smart, determined, and fake. People say I look a lot like gabriella wilde, but I don't really see it...

erised:
Claire has always wanted one thing in life, and that was to make her parents proud. She's always felt like she'd never been good enough, and fallen short of their vision though, so she's constantly trying to do more and more.
amortentia:
rain, Christmas spice, mint
boggart:
Claire is afraid that people are going to see through the charade of perfection she puts on, and realize that she's nothing more then a silly girl.
overall personality:
Claire is, in the eyes of her siblings, perfection. At least, that's what they think. Being the oldest, she's had a lot of pressure of her from her parents for as long as she can remember. Always having to set the example for her young brother and sister. Always having to be successful. Always having to be smart. Always having to be happy. Like I said, always perfect. That's just what her parents expect of her. So, that's what she is.
Claire is an extremely dedicated individual, and very hard working. She will stop at nothing to reach what she aims for. Failure has never been an option in her life. Even being average has never been an option. Her determination is so strong that at times she's drifted away from her family just a bit. Especially her brother. They'd always butted heads, but that distance has only gotten bigger the older they became. She gets along quite well with her younger sister, but Claire feels like she has to be the best possible example for Addi possible.
Her dedication had taken quite the toll on her emotionally. She's very reserved and cautious about her true feelings, especially around her family. She feels like she can't be anything but happy, and brilliant around them. So, that's what she is. She's spent hundreds of hours grilling information into her head, just so she can spout it out around her parents and make them proud. All it's really done though is make her feel like she has such high expectations that if she slips up even once her parents will be extremely disappointed. She's very self conscious, with surprisingly low self esteem. In her eyes she's never been good enough. No matter how hard she tries. She can't even remember the last time she got a "that's great! Good job!" From her parents. It's always been "no surprise there! That's what we expect!".
Those few people she actually opens up to will know her to be a completely different girl. She's very nerdy, and loves niggle comic books and science fiction. She could spend hours reading, or having movie marathons.

history:
Claire is the first born child in the Slater family. For the first few years of life, it was great. She was the only child, her parents were able to focus on her alone, and she always felt loved an accepted. Then, Grey was born. Things changed overnight. Suddenly she was the older sibling. Things that had been acceptable before suddenly weren't. It was always "You need to be a good example for your brother.", and "You should know better then that.". She couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards her brother. After all, before he'd been born her accomplishments had been celebrated. Now, they were expected. A few years after Grey, and her parents had another girl, Addilyn.
The second child didn't change life as much, thankfully. She was already growing accustom to her parents growing expectations of her, so she took the added responsibilities in silence. The older she got though, the more her parents expected of her. Until finally she got what she thought would be her chance at freedom. Her letter to Hogwarts.
That first night she was sorted into Gryffindor, and that first week amazing. Until she got her first letter from her parents. Even though she was so far away she could feel their expectations for her. Do well in school. Pace the way for her siblings. When most of her year mates were out having fun, she was inside studying. She made very few friends her first few years at Hogwarts, but she consistently got exceptional marks. Eventually Grey joined her, sorted into the same house and things were... The same. Unlike her, his marks never seemed like a concern to him, a trait she wished she had. To not care what their parents and peers thought.
Upon graduating her career path had already been planned out for her. Her parents had been hinting for years that it was only natural that someone like her be an Auror. That everyone expected her to go down that path. So she did. Because that's just what "people like her" did. Simple as that. She wasn't passionate about it at first though. That changed though when she met Casey. He was older then her by seven years. Charming, handsome. He made her feel normal for once, as if she could be herself instead of who her parents wanted. They were quick friends, and not to longboard after, dating. Things were actually becoming quite serious between them as well, despite everything happening in the wizard if world. The murdered students. The kidnapping. it was disheartening to see how, despite everything the Aurors did things just kept getting worse.
One night, Casey finally proposed to her. She didn't even hesitate for a moment to say yes. Since the school year was to end only a week later they decided to not tell her family until Grey and Addi were joke from Hogwarts. Unfortunately that talk never happened. Kings Cross was attacked and Casey was killed in the explosions.
Claire spent the summer in mourning, never telling her family that Casey had proposed. They knew he'd died, but none of them had really know how close the couple had been. Now at Summer's end, the next school year is about to begin. Claire, like many other Aurors has bren stationed at Hogwarts for the students protection...
