History:
1872. Ada is born the second child and only daughter of Alfred and Catherine Talbot. Ada enjoys a reasonably calm childhood, and spends much of her early days toddling after her older brother.
1876. Ada displays her first sign of magic when, on Christmas morning, the Talbot family awakes to find that all of the gifts have somehow found their way to Ada's bed.
1877. Ada doesn't really remember the upheaval of this year, only that the family moves to Hogsmeade, and she likes her new bedroom better than her old one.
1880. Alfie leaves for Hogwarts.
1884. The Talbots survive the Plague and fire relatively unscathed, thankfully. Ada heads off to Hogwarts in September, where she's sorted into Ravenclaw. She takes to academia like a fish to water, having always been a fairly inquisitive child.
1886. For her third year, Ada takes up Arithmancy, Ancient Runes and Muggle Studies as her electives. She is tempted to take up Care of Magical Creatures instead of Muggle Studies, as she finds creatures more interesting than people, honestly, but is dissuaded by her family who worry about her academic interests not being ladylike enough. They're probably right to be worried, but it's fine. She's fine. Everything's fine.
1888. It's a long, boring summer stuck in Hogsmeade with the fog. Ada gets a lot of reading done. She is nonetheless happy when the fog lifts, of course.
Personality:
- Clever
- Bookworm
- Socially awkward
- Most Likely to Become a Spinster with a House Full of Cats.
Sample Roleplay Post:
Quote:Harry didn't usually mean for things to go wrong. True, he was more than a little fascinated by how things functioned, and part of that was how they dysfunctioned. He wasn't sure that was a real word. He was a scientist, not a... person who knew words.
Speaking of not knowing words, clearly he didn't know the words in the instructions for the potion he was meant to be making, because something was very, very wrong. Harry could see this. He'd messed up enough potions over the years to know the signs. Unfortunately, all those ruined potions did not mean he always knew how to fix it.
This was definitely one of those times when Harry did not know how to fix it, because instead the potion exploded.

How did you hear about us?: I was here before, took a break, Charming moved in the interim, and I had an urge for some historical-type nonsense, so here I am. How I found Charming in the first place is a mystery lost to time.
