Name: Willa Knox
Nicknames: Called 'Will' by her parents
Role: Half-blood
Birthday: November 7th
Age: 16
Year: Sixth Year
House: Gryffindor
Appearance: Willa has golden blonde hair that reaches to just below her shoulders. Her hair is naturally straight but Willa has perfected a spell that allows her to add waves or curls to her hair as she likes. Willa's eyes are blue.
Willa stands at 5'7" and is of average weight, cutting a slim figure.
When she isn't wearing her school uniform Willa will often be seen wearing (depending on the weather) floating summer dresses or jeans and a cute sweater or jacket. She likes to stay well-presented and as such her uniform is rarely dirty or out of place. Although she usually keeps her hair in check Willa rarely wears makeup.
Personality: Willa is a strong-willed girl with an outgoing and friendly nature. She enjoys joking with her friends and usually has a smile on her face. When she isn't 100% attentive in class it will usually be because she's chatting with her friends. Nevertheless she enjoys doing things well and is easily able to maintain satisfactory grades in all her subjects. Willa is not naturally a competitive girl, except when quidditch is involved. The sport usually has her on her feet cheering loudly for her favourite team (the Montrose Magpies).
Willa is incredibly loyal to her friends and will go out of her way to help them if need be. She has a talent for magic involving incantations (her O.W.L results show this) but finds subjects such as Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures a bore. Willa quickly loses interest in subjects she dislikes and will put in much less energy to her assignments. However she is a naturally inquisitive girl and if a subject excites her enough she will go out of her way to find out more (one of the reasons she is a member of Charms Club and takes Ancient Studies).

History: Willa is the eldest child of Maggie and Bryce Knox. Her father, the son of muggles Alfred and Judy Knox, met Maggie at Hogwarts. Maggie, the most recent generation of pureblooded witch from her family, married him in a quiet ceremony not long after the defeat of Voldemort. Maggie's parents have very strict rules on what they think their only granddaughter should and shouldn't do. They believe that while Willa's mother was a lost cause, (marrying a muggle-born wizard was not in their plan for her) there is still hope for Willa. As such they disapprove of Willa's dream to play on the national quidditch team. Willa's father was a quidditch coach and he brought Willa along to all his games, fostering her love of the sport from an early age. It was Bryce that taught her how to ride a broom. Willa has one brother, 14 years her junior named Jasper. Willa dotes on her brother and has since he was born.
Neither of Willa's parents were sorted into Gryffindor. Maggie was a Hufflepuff and Bryce was in Ravenclaw. So it was with a pleasant surprise that Willa found herself being sorted into Gryffindor. Her five years at Hogwarts have shown her many of the castle's secrets and she hopes to add a few more to her list before she leaves in two years time.
Willa is originally from a small town called Wingnuts. The majority of the population is magical, including the family in the house next to hers. The youngest son, Kye, and Willa soon became fast friends.
Although Willa grew up in a home surrounded by magic, she has a good understanding of the muggle world thanks to her father's parents. Whenever they visited them on holidays Willa would marvel at the strange inventions muggles came up with. Her favourite muggle quirk is the way the people in photos don't move and toasters.
