Veela

Veelas are the the charmers and enchantresses of the magical world.

On Alohomora we permit full Veelas, and part Veelas can be half, quarter, and eighth.

## VEELA

Full veela are native to Bulgaria and possess otherworldy beauty. When enraged, they become birdlike and throw balls of fire from their hands.

### GENERAL APPEARANCE

Veelas, both male and female, are known to be the most naturally beautiful magical beings in the world. They are built much like models, tall slender, and in good physical condition. European Veelas are commonly known to be blonde haired and blue eyed but they can have other hair and eye colors.

### AGING AND PHYSICAL ABILITIES

Veelas age at the same rate as witches and wizards, but they maintain their youthful appearances much longer then their counterparts. They are naturally agile, graceful and have fast metabolisms that keep them in good physical condition without much work. They do not have any superior physical capabilities.

### MAGICAL ABILITIES

Veelas have three key abilities. Creating and manipulating fire, turning their heads into that of a bird-like head, and charming those physically attracted to them to the point of total and complete submission. People under a Veela's charm have been known to act in unusual ways to try to impress the Veela. This charm is strongest when Veelas are performing in some way, whether it's dancing, or singing.

The Veela charm only works on those who could be physically attracted to the individual (if you are not attracted to women a female Veela won't succeed in charming you. If the Veela is a child and you don't see them as mature enough it won't affect you.)

Veelas are NOT wizards, and do not possess the ability to use wands, or cast spells. Their offspring do not attend magical schools, instead mostly being home schooled, going to small, specialized schools for Veela children, or non-magical schools.

### WEAKNESSES

They are known to be magically unstable because of their natural born charm. This can lead to many magical accidents while learning to perform new spells. Veela hair wands share the same unstable nature.

Full Veelas are not wizards. Likewise, they can't perform magic. This can limit them in their job options in the magical world. One example is Quidditch. Because they aren't wizards, they can't use brooms, so they are unable to play the sport.

### SOCIETAL STATUS

While most demi-humans face some for of persecution and discrimination Veelas face very few challenges. Their natural beauty makes them incredibly desirably as romantic partners so they face fewer challenges. However they are still demi-human and can still be discriminated against for their status of not being fully human.

## PART-VEELA

Part Veelas are the offspring of full blooded Veelas and wizarding or muggle parents (Yes, Part Veelas can be part muggle, instead of part wizard!) Part Veelas inherit their Veela parent's physically natural good looks though it will slowly diminish over generations. Part Veelas can be both male and female, though males aren't as common.

Part Veelas do inherit the ability to charm those attracted to them, though it gets significantly weaker depending on how diluted their blood is. A half Veela is able to perform a powerful charm while an 1/8th is likely to only be able to charm their victim strong enough to peak their interest. Part Veela's do not inherit any other powers. Part Veelas (when their non-Veela side of the family is magical) can be more adept at fire and heat related spells then others. If their non-Veela side of the family is NOT magical, they do not inherit any kind of magic not related to Veelas.

Like all other demi-humans Part Veelas are unable to use transfiguration magic on themselves, including becoming animagi. Again, if their non-Veela side of the family is NOT magical, they cannot perform spells at all.
