Personality/History: Although a twin, Susan McKennley was never allowed to forget that she was indeed the younger of the two siblings even if it was only by three minutes. Unlike her brother Susan did not go into the Order after their father was killed. Feeling that her abilities could be better applied elsewhere, Susan did however join a lesser known organization (similar to the peace corp) that dealt with a wide range of intercultural disputes between the Wizarding World and other magical cultures.

On the surface Susan seems much more mild mannered then her brother. Soft spoken, fair minded and thoughtful; Susan is a bleeding heart and often wears her emotions on her sleeve. In general she is the more grounded of the siblings however there are moments where she can come off over sensitive. In the classroom Susan is a patient, engaging educator and a favorite among students mostly because they perceive her to be a bit of a push-over. Unlike her brother who only greatly excelled in one or two subjects, Susan was a diligently well rounded student. As in adult this has allowed her to sufficiently teach and assist in multiple subjects thus making her an ideal substitute professor and tutor.

While she is not usually the most assertive person around Susan's attitude completely changes when on the Quiditch field. A highly accomplished Keeper in her student days, Susan remains an expert flyer. When it comes to Quiditch Susan is highly competitive so much so that Jacob often claims she soured his feelings on the sport in their youth...naturally he's mostly teasing.
Personality

Appearance: Susan is only about 5'7 and is deceptively lithe and delicate looking when the reality is that she is actually rather toned in much the same way as a track runner is. Not being identical twins, Susan's eyes are considerably darker blue than her brother's and in dim light might almost look black. She seems to be partial to high collared robes of forest green or black that often has fur accents around the sleeves and collars.
