- Music of any sort
- Children
- Nearly Everything
Dislikes (3+):
- Coffee
- Dark places
- Rudeness
Strengths (3+):
- Strong stomach - Contrary to her otherwise girlish personality, she is not very squeamish and handles even the most gruesome situations rather splendidly.
- Spellwork - Even for a witch as young as she is, her spellwork in her field is top-notch, and it would seem as though it was through natural talent coupled with hardwork.
- Singing - This one would be apparent to anybody who had ever required a visit to the Hospital Wing, as it would seem that she never stopped.
Weaknesses (3+):
- Naivety - Her kindness and eagerness to help others is often a weakness, as it invites many to take advantage of her with her knowledge.
- Potionwork - Despite recieving an 'Exceeds Expectations" NEWT during her time at Hogwarts, she struggles with the more complicated potions work, resulting in her keeping a large stock of them brewed by other masters.
- Sarcasm - She just doesn't get it.
Character Description:
With darling looks and a charming personality, it was as though Nessa had stepped right out of a storybook. She was, in a sense, the ideal princess in both mannerisms and looks. Auburn hair was curled and abundant, though often twisted up and out of the way as she worked. Eyes were blue, and skin was fair and freckled, a true stereotype to her Irish heritage. Smiles excessive and infectious when this woman was around, she holds a true passion for all things living. Kind-hearted, with an exuberant personality like sunshine, the young woman was a perfect specimen to don the red robes, and matronly white apron.
Personality Outline:
Nessa has the innocence and heart of a young girl waiting for her prince. She is almost annoyingly optimistic in even the most somber of times, and seems to become overly empathic when helping others. Still, she shares a love for all living things, and a somewhat self-sacrificing devotion to aid anyone and anything that needs a hand. She is lively and loving, and made almost entirely of rainbows and sunshines, and will not allow anyone to rain on her parade. Nessa is also eager to learn, convinced that education through-out life is never over, and that there is always more to absorb.
Background
Mother: Meara Kennard, 56, Accidental Magic Reversal Squad (Ministry of Magic)
Father: Padraig Kennard, 57, Potioneer
Siblings: (None)
Country of Origin: Ireland
Heritage: Half-blood
History:
Born unto an extensive wizarding family, it was no surprise when Nessa began showing signs of her 'special abilities'. So of course, she was well prepared when the owl arrived announcing her acceptance to Hogwarts.
Right from the get go, Nessa had displayed a nurturing disposition, which was likely the reason for her placement in Hufflepuff. And a Hufflepuff she was - kind, loyal and helpful to absolutely everyone with little to no discrimination. Because of this need to aid others, she knew right from the get-go that she was destined to be a Healer. Her schoolwork was exemplary, even in her weakest subjects, as she was driven to do her best so that she could fulfill her dream. After successfully achieving the five N.E.W.T.S. required to continue as a Healer, Nessa found herself pursuing further eduaction right out of Hogwarts. With not so much as a break in between, she was soon apprenticing in the pediatric's ward at St. Mungo's. And she couldn't have been happier. She was helping others, specifically children - this was her life's calling.
A few years in, and she found herself as a certified Healer, complete with those amazingly awful green robes she had been dreaming of her entire life. She had only been certified for a few months, however, when an interesting call came in. Nessa had only ever worked within the Hospital walls, and had never been summoned for a "house-call" of sorts. But one shift in June had several Healers being summoned to Hogwarts. It seemed that there had been complications with a woman giving birth, and their services were required. Together with her fellow co-workers, they had seen to woman's ailments, ensured that both the mother and child were healthy, and returned to St. Mungo's. All in a days work, she had thought - but it would seem that perhaps she had left somewhat of a good impression, as she found herself returning to Hogwarts a few months later, this time as part of the staff.
