Name: Hermione Jane Granger
Age: 25
Height: 5'5"
Species: Muggle-born human witch
Body Alterations: (tattoos, piercings, scars, etc.) None
Hair: Brown and curly, with a tendency to be bushy.
Eyes: Brown, and slightly nearsighted from years of overuse.
Build: Regular, even features. More or less average.
Clothing, Jewelry, etc: Tends to wear regular clothing, usually slacks and a shirt or the occasional skirt, but wears a loose-fitting robe of a complimentary colour over her other garments. For formal wizarding events, she adds a broad-rimmed pointed hat.
Where They're From: The Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling.
Reasons for Joining the League: It seemed like the place where she could use her abilities to achieve the most good.
Personality: Hermione's a bit of an overachiever, which can be at least partly attributed to her position in wizarding society; because Muggle-born witches and wizards are looked down on by some pure-blooded magic users, she felt the need to prove herself. She's a great reader, and throws herself enthusiastically into any projects requiring extensive research. She has a tendency toward bossiness, though she's not nearly as bad as she was when she was younger. She's extremely intelligent and a passionate champion of the underdog. She doesn't always make friends very easily, but once she trusts, her loyalty is unwavering.
Powers: Said to be one of the brightest and most adept students ever to grace the halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hermione has carefully honed her inborn magical abilities to master even some of the most complex spells.
Abilities: Along with her wand-wielding talents, Hermione is knowledgeable about the preparation and application of several useful potions and the care and feeding of a number of magical creatures. She is very logical and skilled in deductive reasoning and problem-solving. Oh, she also knits.
Weaponry: Hermione is never found without her magic wand, fashioned from vine wood with a core of dragon's heartstring, without which she is incapable of casting any spells.
History: Born September 19, 1979 to a pair of Muggle (non-magical) dentists, Hermione learned at the age of eleven that she was the first person in her family to possess innate magical abilities. For this reason, she was accepted as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, arguably the pre-eminent institution for magical education in all of Europe. During the course of her seven years of study, Hermione befriended the young wizards Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, and together, the three were responsible for a number of significant events in wizarding history. Several times, Hermione and Ron helped Harry battle his lifelong nemesis, Lord Voldemort, who was finally vanquished in their final year of school. While Harry went on to become an Auror with the English Ministry of Magic, and Ron pursued a career in the wizarding sport of Quidditch, Hermione undertook an extended course of independent study while continuing to work for the rights of house-elves and other magical beings who had known oppression during the previous decades. She misses her two best friends, but keeps in touch by regular owl-delivered letters and the occasional care package from Ron's mother.
