A/N: Here are some basic character notes for Dorrea's character at age 14

Name: Dorrea (Door-ray-ah) Elysswyn (El-ess-win) Jude
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Height: 5'2" (145cm)

Weight: 100lbs (40kg)
Birthday: April 23rd
Nationality (Ethnicity): British
House: Slytherin
Year: 4th

Traditional: Coming from a long line of pure-bloods, she values traditional holidays and practices that are no longer popular or practiced in the modern wizarding world; such as the holiday of Beltane or Lughnasadh. She appreciates tasteful chivalry and proper manners. Proper decorum, manners, and etiquette are her whole world, so if you don't have such attributes perfected, she will look down at you.

Prideful: Being raised in a generational pure-blood family, she has a superiority complex. Additionally, she has extremely high standards, for both herself and those around her; she is very hard to please. Along with her superiority complex, she has an immense amount of pride in her work, family, and self.

Stubborn: In addition to her prideful nature, she will refuse to admit when she is wrong. She will stick to her choices and ideas no matter what.

Curious: Coming from a family of inventors, she has an intense curiosity that sometimes gets her into trouble; she will revert to seemingly Gryffindorish recklessness to sedate her curiosity. She will often be seen furiously writing in mysterious notebooks; she keeps extensive files on all her classmates and other people she finds interesting.

Sneaky: Her obsession with inventing new things requires her to obtain test subjects, she will sneak her potion inventions or cast new charms at people in secret and observe the effects of her work. To further her files she keeps on the people around her, she will take to either stalking them or investigating their backgrounds.

Innocent: Being raised in seclusion for the majority of her life, she is very unaware of slang and innuendos that her fellow classmates casually throw around; she has improved somewhat over the course of her years at Hogwarts, but not by much since she prefers the company of older students to people her own age.

Deal-maker: With almost lawyer-like precision, she enjoys making deals with people; which comes in handy when she requires test subjects for her experiments.

History:

Dorrea Jude grew up in Wiltshire, England, a well-known pure-blood wizarding community. Although there were many prominent families in the area, she was raised in an extremely sheltered environment because of the secluded nature of her parents. The Jude family has a long history of keeping to themselves and doing independent contract work, such as inventing. Because she was raised with only house elves and tutors for company, Dorrea idolizes her parents and is determined to be the "perfect, pure-blood heiress" and follow the family motto "proper decorum always and anywhere."

She is an only child, the heiress of the family, and did not have contact with any children her own age until she arrived at Hogwarts; because of this, her interaction skills with people her own age aren't the best. Dorrea is overly polite and extremely mature with people older than her and authority figures, but she is condescending and blunt with people her own age and younger. Her posture is stiff and always straight, she values traditions and rules, and she is often confused when it comes to slang and 'normal' kid things. Although she is interested in creating new things, she lives her life playing by the rules of the past. Dorrea dislikes muggleborns and families that don't adhere to the ways of the past; "why should we [witches and wizards] give up our traditions to make them [muggleborns] feel more comfortable?" The fact that Hogwarts celebrate Halloween instead of Samhain is especially grating.

At the age of six she had a near death experience of drowning in the family lake, she has had a fear of large bodies of water and drowning ever since; luckily, she managed to call one of the family house elves to come and save her. Although a house elf essentially saved her life, she tends to treat them rather cruelly and indifferently; often using them as test subjects for her experiments. When she finally arrived at Hogwarts, she discovered that humans made much more interesting test subjects. Dorrea views her experiments as clinically and scientifically as possible, but secretly finds sadistic pleasure in watching the effects of her creations work their magic; she views people as objects rather than human.
