Familiar:
"My darling Wilde."
Noelle's familiar is a sleek, gray cat with mismatching eyes, one being light blue and the other a greenish-yellow sort of color. She absolutely adores the cat, whom she has named after Oscar Wilde, and is quite biased towards it when it comes to Wilde going on hunting trips.
First and foremost, Noelle is a Veela. It's her lineage and her blood, and it comes before the sorting assigned to her by some beat up old hat. This is her mindset, anyway, one which puts family before all else. But, anyway, the girl does have several characteristics that one would likely consider typical of a Veela, though she dislikes such stereotyping based on race. The young woman has something of a temper, though she can somewhat manage it, and it doesn't take too much to rile her up, at least just a little bit. She's one of those people who always react, no matter what, and therefore simply give the impression of feeling everything just a little bit more. This isn't the case, of course, for she feels the same level of emotions as the average person; she simply reacts in a far more animated way, typically. When it comes to anger, her voice might get blatantly mad, and she becomes contrary as can be, ready to strike up any competition to prove herself wrong. This pride and competitive spirit have both proven her right and proven her wrong before, and the latter is almost always incredibly embarrassing to her. But, being quick-tempered seems to run in the blood, and what can you do about it?
Other than being quick-tempered, competitive, and proud, Noelle does have a flirtatious streak, and she seems to be completely fine flirting with anything that has a pulse. She shows no obvious bias in these tendencies, flirting with all of the houses, genders, and species, because she simply likes to. Noelle likes to tease people and get reactions out of others, something which may come from her own reactions, and this shows itself in her flirting. Besides, she seems to have a reputation for one night stands and the like, but shies away from commitment like a cat from water. Noelle believes that romance should be an adventure or a fling, and long term, monogamous relationships just don't fit that description, as far as she's concerned. So, she sticks with flirting, flings, and other things of temporary natures, often leaving the person behind in her trail, though she does try to do it somewhat gently, if the person seems to be concerned about it or something. Some are, of course. A benefit of being a Veela is that people are much more likely to react positively to your advances. The downfall is that they tend to dislike it when you leave. Well, among other downfalls, anyway: like being seen almost exclusively for your attractiveness, or having strangers bother you on the street.
Some of Noelle's most dominating characteristics are her almost reckless sense of adventure and curiosity. She's the kind of kid who is always in trouble for showing up in places where they shouldn't be, or trying things they shouldn't try. She thrives off of new places, new people, new things, and new experiences- the newer something is, the better, like a shiny toy presented to a kindergartner. Noelle loves to launch on impromptu adventures which can include anything from stealing food to finding as many hidden rooms and such as possible. To her, Hogwarts seems like a giant, beautiful playground, with so many hallways and quirks that she can never be bored with it. The girl is like a child, always leading explorations and such, but in general likes to do anything that will give her a bit of a thrill, regardless of what it is. She throws parties, flirts with teachers, and experiments with everything, because life is short and she doesn't see the point in tip toeing around the fact that death is inevitable. She chooses to celebrate the fact with reckless behavior and a love for the hidden, the spontaneous, and the dangerous. She is insatiably curious, as well, to the point that it definitely becomes the sort of behavior in which she sticks her nose where it shouldn't belong. If there is a mystery, secret, or anything else of that sort, she goes into full-blown detective mode, wanting to find out the interesting stuff before anyone else does. She has the trademark sarcasm of a fictional detective, at the very least, and could cut a diamond with her sharp, borderline brutal, tongue. Noelle is naturally sarcastic without thinking about it, and thus tends to offend people with things that she wouldn't even bat an eye at. At least half of what she says is sarcasm or mocking.
This is because Noelle is, at her core, the sort of person who likes to mock things and play pranks for the amusement of herself and others. She's likely to set off firecrackers inside a school, or charm a person so that food runs away from their hands. Things like that are common antics for the young woman who, if asked, will claim that she is most certainly not the sort of student to pull petty pranks and start changes of revenge and how could you even suspect that of her? She'll bat her eyes and be the picture of innocence about it all, but the second a teacher turns their back is at it again, feeding a person a cupcake that'll make their ears swell to rival Dumbo's. She likes to mess with people, as previously stated, and what better way than through jokes, pranks, and competitive cycles of back and forth? Of course, her species gives her a bit of an advantage over others, because she can manipulate her way into getting out of detention or convincing people to do things for her. People, or at least men, tend to stumble over themselves to make her smile, whether they want to or not, and she certainly uses that to her advantage when it comes to getting things done. After all, what's the point of having resources if you don't use them? Noelle knows what she has and what she can do, and she always utilizes all of her abilities in order to accomplish her goal. This cunning kind of ambition nearly had her placed in Slytherin, in fact.
Regardless of how she may manipulate and flirt and challenge, Noelle is still a loyal sort of friend, and will never let someone that she is close to fall down without her being their to help them back up. No matter how many pranks she pulls or insults she throws out, she generally makes up for it with a chivalrous nature that won't leave others out in the cold- especially if she knows that they have her back as well. She's not stupid enough to make enemies of everyone, but also isn't intelligent enough to keep everyone an arm's length away. Instead, she embraces company, people, and the prospect of friendships, which are the only sort of relationship that she is capable of keeping up, to be honest. To her, friends are above all else, and to betray one is as good as admitting that you have no real morals or sense of self worth. How you treat your friends reflects who you are, and she remains loyal and caring, despite mocking them the whole way with teasings and jokes.

Short Biography:
As the means through which Veelas come to be is unknown to me, I'm just going to skip the normal blurb on her parents and go to her childhood.
Being a Veela, Noelle grew up fairly accustomed to getting her way, at least when it came to most people. One thing strange about her upbringing, however, is that she was raised in the human world rather than the mythical one- in Ireland, to be exact. Growing up in a small town in Ireland, she was never short when it came to attention, and it helped that her mother was incredibly doting and brought home many men who were kinder than they might otherwise have been, if only because they were under the spell of a Veela. Of course, while the men of the village all adored and practically worshiped her mother, all of them human and completely oblivious to the reason for their enchantment, the pair were isolated by the women of the area, for the most part, because there was this constant suspicion that Ms. Fischer was having affairs with their husbands, or something along those lines. To be fair to them, she often times was, having a different definition of commitment than the muggles did. Thus, Noelle grew up with plenty of attention but little social interaction outside of her own home, and therefore, until she was older, occupied her own time with adventure stories and exploring the gardens of the old estate she lived in with her mother- it had been inherited by her mother from some old admirer or something along those lines. The manor held plenty of little nooks and crannies for a troublemaker like her to hide in, and the girl was allowed to get away with murder, so long as she was polite to her own mother. Thus, she grew up pulling pranks on the muggles and leading her own various expeditions. She would do her best to ignore her mother's suitors, and the fact that all of the mothers in the village stuck up their noses whenever she went into town with her own mother.
From her mother, Noelle learned how to fly a broomstick and how to tease. She learned how to have fun and, when others looked at her with disdain, how to smile in their faces because nothing would frustrate them quite so much. Priscilla Fischer -that was her mother's name- was a strong woman and, as far as Noelle is concerned, a fantastic role model growing up. She taught her plenty of things besides the aforementioned, but the most important among them was the lesson to not let others change her. "The worst thing you can do," her mother always said, "is make yourself smaller for the sake of others. If they don't like who you are or what you do, then they can shove their heads up their arses for all we care." Noelle always viewed her mother as a glamorous sort of woman, who had no need for jealousy because there was no one who could compare to her in appearances. But the best thing about her mother was the stories she told- especially those about Hogwarts, a school for Wizards and Witches that was within the UK. Noelle adored the very idea of it, with the Dark Forest, secret corridors, and magical creatures. She loved the tales about the tales about the great Battle of Hogwarts, and when she was younger actually had quite the crush on the Luna Lovegood she'd heard about in stories, thinking her as being absolutely delightful. Of course, she was very very old at that point, Luna that is, and married, so that childhood fancy was somewhat crushed.
Noelle figured, however, that she would never be able to actually attend Hogwarts, because she was a Mythic, and even a girl raised in a magically-barren town such as she knew that such things were simply not done. Then again, she never was the sort to care about whether or not things were proper. After all, she was the girl who literally painted to town red, and grew up dropping water balloons on people's heads. Veela's have their own sort of wandless magic, after all, one which is passed on from parent to child, and her mother trained her in this sort of magic early on. As a child, she did have access to powers of a certain persuasion, but she was young and able to use them to talk people into doing things, like letting her off when she'd done something bad, and the like. It was quite ideal for a little trouble maker such as she, and helped her to pass the time when her friends, who'd she begun to gain somewhere around the age of seven, were in school. When they were out of school, she led something that could be compared to a gang, but for kids, which was constantly running through the streets and dominating the parks, gladly following the treasure hunts, plans to solve mysteries, and pranks of the charismatic girl who seemed to be absolutely fearless. The loneliness of her earlier childhood was forgotten with these friends, though some part of her had to know that their parents didn't approve, and that her friends feelings towards her might change when she grew older. She simply suppressed these thoughts, however, too thrilled with her lifestyle to be willing to fully accept them.
There are downsides to being a Veela, and one of them is the attention it tends to gain you. For the most part, because she was a child, she could avoid things, but particularly weak-minded muggles could be problematic. She always avoided bars and the haunting grounds of those who were constantly intoxicated for this reason, but when Noelle was nine years old, she was a bit less careful, being reckless as she is. She was assaulted while on her way home by a drunken admirer that her mother had rejected due to his less than savory manners. She was too terrified to do anything, but through a stroke of luck her mother had been passing by at the time, and promptly lost it, going into harpy mode and scaring off the man. This experience only made Noelle somewhat wary of muggles, and she had to be comforted by her mother for several days before she adopted her brave smile, somewhat strained, and tried to return to normal. Still, she was worried that her friends would soon grow up and either outgrow her or feel the impact of her unintentional powers in the way that the man had. Muggles are more susceptible to it, after all. When she finally expressed these fears to her mother, Priscilla encouraged her to be brave, and to remember the lesson that she had been taught since she was young- to embrace herself.
This helped, but was helped most was when, a few months later, they received a letter in the mail. At first, Noelle thought that there was a mistake. Her mother tapped her chin and smiled knowingly, saying something about a bit of wizard blood in the family, tracing back to Noelle's great-great-grandfather. Veela blood is more potent, of course, but the lineage remained all the same. Noelle simply accepted this, not realizing until later that her mother might have pulled some strings. It wouldn't have been too hard, after all, as Veela are far more accepted by the magical community than many other mythics are. Priscilla told Noelle that she must keep her true species a secret, and at the end of the summer she bid farewell to her friends, heading off to Hogwarts on the train. It was the most exciting day of her life, and she spent the entire train ride going up and down the passenger train, looking into compartments and saying hello to other first years. When she arrived, she was nearly placed in Slytherin, perhaps because of her ambitious and nearly manipulative nature, but ultimately a love for adventure and loyalty placed her in Gryffindor. Honestly, she had been hoping for Ravenclaw- that's where Lovegood had been placed, after all.
The tiny disappointment vanished quickly, however, as she grew to love her house and those in it, constantly dragging some off on adventures with her. Of course, she did have the tendency to lose points for the house here and there thanks to her pranks and explorations, but was still relatively well-liked all the same. She got to know plenty of her teachers through a good deal of detentions, which she never really learned from, and all in all adored the place. Of course, it was a lot easier to hide her true identity when she was younger. As the girl grew older, men, and some women, had the tendency to act differently around her. She probably could have been more careful about it, to be honest, but inherited a flirtatious and teasing manner from her mother that hardly ended the issue. It worked, at the same time, to make it seem as though behaviors towards her actually stemmed from a flirtatious manner and abnormally lovely appearance. She soon gained a reputation for being a flirt and a bit promiscuous, but seemed to brush them off easily- they weren't entirely wrong, after all. Over the years, she has gotten better at making up excuses, and does her best to -at the very least- only dance in private, and to try and keep her temper under control so that she doesn't suddenly sprout feathers and talons. As it is, she is Gryffindor's seeker, and a good one at that, because she isn't afraid to dive for the snitch, and has wicked fast reflexes. Besides, she can't defend to save her life, so it works out.
While she used to enjoy her visits home, she has grown distant from her muggle friends- especially some of the females, as many of their boyfriends and such have shown themselves vulnerable to, well, Veelas. Many of her peers there have a thing for her mum as well, which gives Noelle the shivers, even though her mother still looks young and beautiful. As far as mythics go, of course Noelle's alright with them- maybe she'll even be able to come out as a Veela herself, soon. For now, she'll just pretend that she happens to be supernaturally charismatic, or something like that.

While she used to enjoy her visits home, she has grown distant from her muggle friends- especially some of the females, as many of their boyfriends and such have shown themselves vulnerable to, well, Veelas. Many of her peers there have a thing for her mum as well, which gives Noelle the shivers, even though her mother still looks young and beautiful. As far as mythics go, of course Noelle's alright with them- maybe she'll even be able to come out as a Veela herself, soon. For now, she'll just pretend that she happens to be supernaturally charismatic, or something like that.
