**Clare Gillcrest** (Born October 9th, 2019) is a halfblood witch from Devon, England. She is the daughter of Alondra Gillcrest (née Bitterwood), and Colin Gillcrest. In 2031, she was sorted into the house of Hufflepuff.

## Appearance

Standing at 4'3, Clare is already extremely short compared to some of her classmates with a soft, kind looking face. Her hair is short and light brown, in a bob that's half up, half down, while her bangs are left unruly and wavy. It's unknown how her small half-ponytail hasn't fallen out at this point. When she's not in her usual Hufflepuff robes, she can seen wearing cute overalls and baggy sweaters, with her hair in various other styles.

## Personality

There is literally no malice in her. Kindhearted, peppy, and honestly sometimes stupid, she's a true Hufflepuff in many ways. Despite her knack for the dumb and more impulsive side of life, she does have a bit of care for her studies, although mainly based around her want to impress her mother. In the subjects she prides herself in, namely Herbology and certain Charms, she can still be seen giving her best effort to those she cares less about.

When it comes to her open friendliness, there's a stubbornness she has for her strong belief in the fact that everyone has good in them. She believes in the fact that anyone can change and be good, even the worst of the worst. She seeks to have lots of friends, although more so as to not be alone anymore. Even since she was young, she'd allow people to walk over her if it meant she could keep them as friends because there is nothing she wants less than to be alone.

## Background

On October 9th, 2019, pureblood Alondra Gillcrest and her muggle husband, Colin Gillcrest, gave birth to their only child, Clare Gillcrest. She grew up in a breezy seaside town in Devon, England, with her mother working for the Ministry of Magic, and her father working as an English teacher to a nearby school. When she three, her family welcomed an Irish Setter into their home, who they named Odie.

Ever since Clare was young, she was put in an awkward space between magic and muggle. Between her parent's families opposing each other, her inability to keep the magic world and muggle world separate, and her parent's own worries, she was never that closely involved in either world. Her parents were very loving, however they often left Clare alone at home because of work and she would then be left alone in her house for hours at a time. She was estranged from her muggle peers, so she never had any close friends, and most attempts to talk to other kids would end in defeat. Still, she gave it her all and would often let herself be pushed around for even the slightest prospect of a friend, leading to her constantly being trampled on by other kids when they did give her attention.

Most of her time was spent alone, either walking along the shore or doing whatever she could to not be bored inside her house. When her parents did have time, however, they would spend as much time as they could all together, either reading books with her mother or helping her father in the garden. Outside of their home, she never knew much about her extended family. Both sides refused to interact with each other, and those who did end up visiting their quaint house would often not write back other than for brief holiday cards. Clare was often disappointed by this in her childhood, as she knew she'd never be able to know these people better than as acquaintances.

When she got her letter to Hogwarts, her parents, namely her mother, were beyond belief with happiness. When she got to Hogwarts, she was then sorted into Hufflepuff.
