Gingham bucket hat? She's got it. Tie-dye tracksuit? She's got it. Every Dr. Martens shoe that's ever been made? She's got it. Raegan's style is anything but posh and put-together, much to her parents' disapproval. She likes getting inspiration from old Muggle magazines and TV shows, as well as all of her old neighbors who walk around in socks and sandals, baseball hats and capri shorts. Raegan does not stick to the gender norm, usually wearing suits rather than dresses and heels, and this applies to her school uniform. While in uniform, Rae wears black trousers, a white button-up shirt and her Slytherin tie, which is usually undone and wrapped around her head instead (breaking dress code being one of the many reasons why she gets in trouble). Most days she skips makeup altogether too.

Raegan's loud and in-your-face personality matches her looks perfectly. She's not too tall, but not too short, although her long limbs sometimes make her seem taller than she is. She maintains a slim figure with strong arms and core, making her a damn sleek and strong Beater with her aerodynamic proportions.
Contrary to the stereotypical Slytherin, Raegan usually sports a wide smile on her face. She has soft features, a small straight nose, sparse brows she struggles to keep in shape and round, full lips. Her ears stick out a bit, and despite being very confident about her looks, Rae usually keeps her hair down and framing her face, preventing her ears from showing too much.
Her big, brown eyes are full of charisma, and she sometimes likes to say that she can communicate way better through them than through words. She has a very expressive face and is not afraid of showing her imperfections (except her ears). Because she does not wear any makeup, and she has a terrible sleeping schedule, Rae's eyes are usually framed by dark circles and eye bags she'll never bother covering up.
She has a few dumb tattoos, mostly stick-and-pokes from her friends and her ears single-pierced. If anyone were to ask her, her favorite tattoo is a smiley face on the bottom of her left toe.

Raegan is like a twelve-year-old boy stuck inside a seventeen-year-old witch, she cannot keep still and is the biggest prankster Hogwarts has seen since Fred and George Weasley. She likes joking and pranking others and her laugh can usually be heard down any corridor if she's nearby. Other than seeking trouble, Rae enjoys socializing and talking everybody's ears off. Muggles fascinate her, and ever since she was young she started collecting Muggle artifacts like magazines (with non-moving pictures!), old Muggle clothing, and a lighter she always carries around with her. She likes when things go her way and will usually never admit she's wrong. She loves Muggle music, especially punk-rock, hot chocolate, Quidditch and her rat, Raul.

Because Reagan is not the brightest witch her age when it comes to book-smarts, she hates reading and studying with a passion. If a subject does not interest her, she'll make no effort in the slightest to try to be better at it. She hates authority figures and is not afraid of challenging them. Dare lie to her? Face her wrath. Yes she is a cunning Slytherin girl but that doesn't mean she's OK with people lying to her face. Raegan is a very confident Quidditch player, sometimes overly-confident, and hates losing, she'd rather be knocked out by a Bludger than watching her team fail. She hates big animals, hence why she tends to keep away from the Forbidden Forest at all times, and cannot handle any spicy food or alcohol.

A Slytherin with a Scorpio sun is exactly the chaotic mess Raegan is all about. Just like her fellow housemates, and as a proud Slytherin, Rae is determined, cunning and resourceful. Although her determination sometimes borders on stubbornness, itβs her charisma, people skills and the will to never give up that have given her such a high reputation at school. Thereβs not a soul who doesnβt know who Raegan Durham is, love her or hate her, sheβs always around to make people talk.
Her loud and annoying personality can also sometimes be the root of all of her troubles. She struggles to keep quiet and claps back at anyone she feels threatened by, including teachers and authority figures. Sheβs not the best student and for the almost seven years she has been at Hogwarts, sheβs passed her classes only because she can talk herself out of any sticky situation. If thereβs anything she excels at, itβs Quidditch. She doesnβt have to think much about it and being a Beater has given her the perfect platform to relieve all of her stress. Plus, a lot of people find Quidditch players hot and she bathes in every compliment thrown her way. Some might call Raegan attention-seeker, and itβs true that she can sometimes be a bit too cocky. Sheβs used to causing trouble and getting away with it, so when she canβt, she struggles to understand why.
Raegan has the bad habit of not being able to take anything seriously, especially when the situation requires her to be serious about it. It is only when she senses she or her loved ones are in danger that she can pause and think clearly. She has a big and noisy laugh and does not bother covering up her big personality if she notices sheβs making others uncomfortable. She has trouble being responsible and has the worst memory ever. Someone please get her a Rememberall.
She will never go down without a fight, sheβs tough-minded and can never back down from an argument. Sheβs defensive and will always stand up for what she believes in. Sheβs an incredibly loyal friend because of that and a really honest one two, sometimes too blunt for her own good. But sheβs never been a bully or a mean person, at least not on purpose. Deep down Rae's a messy individual, who can't stay still for more than two seconds, but willing to fight for the greater good. The new generation of Slytherins that she has grown up with have taught her more than she knows, and in the end, she'll always be proud of who she has grown up to be.

Catcher Durham | Father | 37 | Wizard | Ministry of Magic (Department of Magical Games and Sports)
Raegan's relationship with her father cannot be matched by anyone else. He's her best friend, her biggest cheerleader and her biggest supporter. Ever since she was young she's been "Daddy's little girl", much to her mother's disapproval of his favoritism. Rae's favorite memory with him is when he took her to the World Cup, China vs. Moldova 2010, the match lasted three days and they were the happiest three days of her life.
Eadoin Durham (neΓ© O'Toole) | Mother | 37 | Wizard | Author (Quidditch books)
It's evident Rae comes from a family of talented Quidditch players and aficionados. Both her mother and father work in sports-related fields. Her relationship with her mother only goes as far as a couple of "I miss you" letters each year when she's at school. Back at home they tend to get on each other's nerves, but it's only because they're so similar. Rae would never admit it but she loves her mother more than anything in the world.
Ceara Durham | Sister | 15 | Wizard | Fifth year student (Gryffindor)
Rae's sister is everything she's not; she's smart, respectful, and a talented witch. Plus head girl. But even though they're polar oposites, they get along like best friends. Ceara is Rae's favorite victim when it comes to playing jokes on people, but she'll be the first to step up against anyone who's giving her trouble.

Catcher Durham met Eadoin OβToole when they were both students at Hogwarts, both Quidditch players on opposing teams. While Catcher was Hufflepuffβs Keeper, Eadoin was one of Ravenclawβs Beaters. After a couple of years of flirting back and forth, fighting together in the Battle of Hogwarts while on their seventh year at school was what brought them together, and after two years of courtship, they finally got married. The year Raegan was born, Catcher was able to land a position in the Wimbourne Waspsβs Quidditch team as their Keeper, but Eadoin chose to stay home and become a Quidditch author and journalist to take care of Rae. Her parentsβ relationship only grew stronger, and two years after Raegan, they had Ceara, her little sister.
Raeganβs childhood was full of excitement, going to Quidditch tournaments since she could remember, cheering for her dad and dreaming of one day flying alongside him. But it all changed after her dadβs injury. Catcher was playing against the the Appleby Arrows, long time rivals of the Wimbourne Wasps, when a Beater from his own team accidentally sent a Bludger his way, hitting him right behind his neck and sending him flying off his broom. Catcher Durham was in a coma for two weeks, before waking up with slight memory loss and a few missing screws. Those two weeks were hell for the Durham family, Rae slept at St Mungo's for about a week, before her grandparents took her and Ceara in while her father was recovering. After fully healing, Catcher decided to quit playing Quidditch professionally and got a job at the Ministry, still dealing with Magical Sports.
But the accident brought Rae closer to her father than ever, she almost lost him and she couldnβt bare to go through it again. Heβs the reason sheβs so good at Quidditch, and why she has a possible future playing professionally herself. Rae was accepted into the Slytherin Quidditch team on her second year, being one of the best Beaters they had seen in a long time, and she takes pride in that (maybe too much). Sometimes, though, the pressure of keeping her parentsβ Quidditch reputation can be too much for her, she sucks at school but cannot bear to seem like a loser when it comes to sports, she fears letting them down and being a failure in what her parents love most. If she cannot get perfect grades like her sister, at least she can call herself an excellent Quidditch player.
Throughout her years at Hogwarts, she has made it her life mission to never have a dull day, hence her troublemaking mishaps. The closest she has been to getting expelled so far, was once when she tried sneaking a Blast-Ended Skrewt into the Herbology Greenhouses, causing a bigger mess than she expected. Maybe thatβs why Hufflepuffs donβt really like Rae after all. Everyone knows Raeβs a ball of chaos, and most people tend to stay away from her mess of a personality, she has trouble keeping friendships and committing to anyone for that matter. Recently, though, her interest for Divination has been growing, and has given her a chance to learn how to settle down and calm herself, so maybe she wonβt be so lonely after all.

Raegan's been a Slytherin Beater since her second year at Hogwarts, and a damn good flier. Other than her sportsmanship, she has amazing people-skills and knows what to do and say to stay on top of anyone. She also has a talent for reading tea leaves, but she'd rather say she doesn't take it seriously and makes it up, than admit she enjoys doing it.
S T R E N G T H S
Again, Raeganβs best talent and biggest strength is her Quidditch habilities; she mastered flying at a young age, sheβs agile and strong, making for a great Beater. Her charisma and good humor are what help her get along great with others, but not on a deeper level. Sheβs amazing at entertaining others and a damn good storyteller. As for school, she excels in Muggle Studies, knows almost everything and anything about them and is fascinated by them. Sheβs equally good at Divination, which started as a joke but has lately turned into her passion, diving deep into Tessomancy and Palmistry.
W E A K N E S S E S
Alright, so Raegan hates losing. Sheβs the worst at friendly competitions because nothing is ever βfriendlyβ to her when it comes to competing. Sheβs a sore loser and will never congratulate others for winning over her, sheβs too proud for her own good. That sadly too means sheβs cocky, and this has a great effect on her ego, sometimes bringing her down when she fails at what little sheβs good at. She does not do well at school, Charms and Transfiguration being her worst subjects, she hates studying and anything that requires too much reading will be the death of her. She has almost no respect for authority and a bad habit of causing trouble all around, sheβs bad at commitment and at keeping friends for a long time.
