Masie Skyler

"*You do NOT sweep the floor with Fiona*"
—Masie Skyler

A ginger who loves Quidditch. She has a hearty and graceful body, warm eyes, and captivating face. She is adventurous, fair, reckless, and anxious. She is average sized. She has a build like a floor gymnast. She's quite slim and unexpectedly strong.

Besides Quidditch, she also likes reading and bookshops. She also likes hugs. In general, she respects authority, but she also has a bit of a rebellious streak.
Her wand is 9 inches of willow wood with a dragonheart string core. An actual wand was crafted by RandomRaye for Kolo and described as follows: It has a time-honored design; classic color; natural, bumpy, large, and sturdy blade with slight dips and bends; and smooth, comfortable, nice, and graceful grip; and cozy color tones. There is an intriguing contrast between the smooth, polished grip and the bumbly, rough blade. It also looks like a broomstick.

## Background

She is a pureblood and an only child. Her dad, Hal, works at the Ministry for the Department of Magical Games and Sports in the British and Irish Quidditch League HQ. She is very close with her dad. Her mum, Sydney, also works at the Ministry for the Department of Magic Classification (of Magical Creatures) and often tells Masie stories about her animal friends. She grew up with Lucinda Templeton, Idas Vale, Flora ?, and Rufus Halebillow. They are like her unofficial siblings that she looks up to in a big way. She also has an owl named Humphrey.

Her house is just outside of York and it backs onto the River Ouse and it's in a place near York called Knavesmire, which is right by York Race Course. There's a little piece of countryside there and the house is a standalone. It's all on the same floor - one ground floor. It's pretty big. At the back of it, there's a lot of green that rambles down all the way to the end that backs onto the River Ouse. The back of the house is entirely glass. It's quite modern architecture with sharp angles. It's almost industrial looking. But when you go inside the house, it's entirely the opposite. It's so warm and welcoming. There's usually someone humming a little tune in the background. It just feels nice, like when someone gets an unexpected compliment and they have that little smile of acknowledgement.

On a typical summer day prior to attending Hogwarts, she would not be in the house. She would usually be out in the fields with some of her friends. She had mostly older friends (two or three years older) who went to Hogwarts before her and were really, really Quidditch obsessed. They would train, run around, play. They were outside kids. They teased Masie just a little bit before she was old enough to play Quidditch and before she went to Hogwarts, but they had fun. The emphasis was massively fun. They teased each other, but it was all in good jest. They looked after each other.

On one such day, she was outside with her friends when her mum apparated to her to hand off her acceptance letter that came in the post.

Before school starts, her dad took her to Diagon Alley to buy supplies. At Ollivander's, she met Ophelia Ollivander (and her peacock), who helped her find her wand.

On September 1, 2019, she took the Hogwarts Express and met Rosalina, Clementine, Olive, and Alexander. She got 2 packs of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans from the Honeydukes Express Trolley. She surprised the other four by gracefully and effortlessly lifting up one of Olive's medium-sized luggages, which she was moving to make room for her own bag. She ate one of the Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. It tasted like goblin dandruff.

## Hogwarts

She began her education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the fall of 2019.

At Hogwarts, she is a Gryffindor and a member of S.W.O.F.F., a group of friends that includes Alexander Pippin, Clementine Goosanders, Olive Everglade, Rosalina Earthcloud, Barney Dogwood, Lily Luna Potter, Albus Severus Potter, Scorpius Malfoy, and Blaine Buttersworth.

She shares a dormitory room with Clementine Goosanders, Olive Everglade, Lily Luna Potter, Laurel Buckton, Ember Dots, Hayden Magpie, and Beverley Buttercup.

She and Clem met Ember Dots, Laurel Buckton, and Nearly Headless Nick at the start-of-term feast. On her first night at Hogwarts, Clem gave her one of her pens and she gave Clem one of her mother's mottled eagle feather quills.

She has a Transylvanian Barb broom named Fiona, which she bought with some help from her friends right before her second year. She caught the snitch in two games of her first year as a second string seeker on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

In Year 3, she developed a crush on Alex and eventually asked him out on a date. They dated throughout their third year and continued to date even after Masie transferred to Valencia College.
