Name: Nuriko Elswyth
Age: 35
Birthdate/place: October 9, 2003 // Daniels, Tennessee
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Family: Halfblood.
Mother: Reece Elswyth
Father: Richard Elswyth
Appearance:
Hair: Naturally Black, but not usually
Eyes: Naturally Black, but not usually
Build/height- 5'2", curvy and athletic
General Description- Nuriko is an active person, and it shows in her square, defined shoulders and the tone of her muscles. Although she has wide hips, her muscled thighs are even wider. If it weren't for the fact that her waist is comparatively narrow, she would definitely resemble a rectangle of some sort.
Her hair is naturally black, but her favorite color is blue and she wears her hair short enough for it to spike easily on its own. As an metamorphagus, she can change her appearance at will, and you'll most commonly see her changing her hair according to her whim.
Nuriko has a thin, silvery scar on her left cheek from a flying chip of stone at the Battle of Castle Innvar. She has a myriad of other scars, including but not limited to: four long scratches on her left forearm (Lion cub. They are raised and still rather red looking, as they are relatively new); small burns on her right shoulder (encounter with a young welsh green); small scars on her hands, wrists and arms, new and old (from cats, dogs and other animals armed with sharp teeth or claws).
Possessions-
She owns outright Riko's Menagerie, a magical creatures and supplies shop that is at the other end of the village from the Castle, about a five minute walk outside of the small village. It is a square, two story yellow converted house that also has pasture and stabling in the back.
Nimbus- Retired, 25 year old mare. Keeps the rest of the Aerions in line.
Sirius and Giggles- Sirius is a 18-year old Barn owl, and although he sometimes delivers letters, generally dozes in front of the shop in the sunshine. Young customers love giving him treats.
Giggles is a 3 year old tiger owl, and much less serious than she ought to be.
Gateway- Male parrot, approx. 20-30 years of age, scarlett macaw. Very good at escapes.
Personality:
Temperament/Mental Attributes-- Nuriko is a cheerful, positive type of woman. She looks at things on the positive side. Bad things happen, but she doesn't believe they should rule her or that she should let them get her down. She also doesn't believe in waiting for someone else to come around and fix things, if there's a problem she'll do her best to fix it, whether its something that will challenge the established rules of society or something as simple as a rampaging centaur. She doesn't need rescuing, she'll do it herself, and to hell with the consequences.
She's a bit of a rule breaker, she goes with the philosophy that the ends usually justify the means. She knows what she wants and how to go after it, or if she doesn't, she'll try until she gets it. She's fiercely defensive of those younger or weaker or even those stronger, if she deems they need it. Nuri can be as mean as a mother bear if you threaten someone she loves.
That being said, she's not the best dueler out there. She can survive in a fight, and she's stubborn as all get out, but duels are not her strong point, and she knows it.

History-
Nuriko was a handful from the start, a mischievous,
active baby. She grew up on her parents farm, where they bred and trained Aerions for the local magical community. They had to renew the muggle-repelling spells and the disillusionment charms monthly.
She had a happy childhood, running around the farm and learning everything she could about the horses. She started showing signs of magic at a young age, and attended Daniels Griffiph Elementary, the local magical school. Her mother was a British citizen, a former Hitwizard who pulled some strings to get her daughter enrolled in Hogwarts when she turned eleven.
In late summer 2014 the Elswyths visited Diagon Alley (It was easier to buy things in London rather than try to apparate so far with every thing she needed for school.) They stayed with Reece's younger sister and her family in London until it was time to send Nuriko off to school.
Nuriko was an enthusiastic child and soon threw herself into her new life, making several friends immediately (and annoying some of the staff) by setting off some Weasley Fireworks inside the entrance hall. She was sorted into Ravenclaw and settled in quite happily.
She was intelligent and intuitive, but a penchant for mischief kept her from scoring her highest, and in fact racked up quite the records in the carekeeper's office. She would spend holidays with her aunt and return home to America for her summers. In all her school years passed by peacefully, but that all changed by the time she returned for her sixth year.
The political clime in England was changing, there had been attacks on the ministry and new laws in place. By the end of winter there were demons haunting the night. Her mother came to England for the first time in years, following the disappearance of her sister's family. Reece rented an apartment in Hogsmeade and took up with the Black Watch, a small neighborhood watch group that was taking up the cause to fight the Lady in the shadows and the demons that came forth.
Nuriko participated in only a few battles, one being the Battle of Castle Innvar. She and her mother fought together, but it was Reece who was the better duelist of the two, and she outdistanced her daughter. Nuri mainly fought defensively, covering the backs of her cohorts.
That was the beginning of her last year of school, and saying returning wasn't easy was a little bit of an understatement. Her seventh year was rather rocky, but somehow she managed to pull through with E's in Potions and Herbology and an O in CoMC.
When she left Hogwarts, she spent her first two years working in the Owl Emporium, saving up her money for her first shop. Initially she rented space in an empty Hogsmeade storefront, but more quickly than she'd expected she was able to expand into the friendly, yellow storefront Riko's Menagerie is known for today. She settled easily into her new life, running a small, Scottish branch of her parent's operation in America on the side.
Her Menagerie is now a staple of the Hogsmeade landscape, a business that will be celebrating its fifteenth anniversary on the 12th of February, 2039. She has a basic stock of magical creatures, supplies and food downstairs, along with a few small rooms in the back for isolation and medical purposes. Upstairs on the second floor she houses the owls and other birds, and she lives above them in the expanded attic, which is quite cozy.
Nuri keeps up with all her friends and their doings, such as Ralin's quidditch career or even Elle Kameren's kids (who she does not like babysitting!)
