Name: Cyn (I just felt like calling myself Peridot)

Age: 15

Loves: Reading, writing stories nobody likes and basically chilling out when I'm not freaking out about some major test

Hates: When people fold up the corners of pages as bookmarks... I don't know why... it just gets on my nerves. And people talking about others behind their backs.

Fav Books: Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, The Mediator, the Elenium, the Tamuli, the Redemption of Althalus etc.

Fav Authors (this'll include most of their books): Eoin Colfer, J.K. Rowling, Diana Wynne Jones, Garth Nix, Meg Cabot, Brian Jacques, David Eddings (this list could go on forever...)

Fav Cartoons: Okay, this is really weird, but then again, so am I! Xiaolin Showdown (because I feel like writing it down) and that's about it. I don't watch a lot of TV. Also, Danny Phantom, because I love the idea of a boy becoming half ghost... please do not ask why I started watching it, it's just too embarrassing, including a couple of dares and so on...

Fav TV shows: Charmed! I don't watch soaps... they bore me. Also Doctor Who and Primeval (anybody got any idea when Primeval starts again?)

Country: U.K

I may be writing another story in Harry Potter soon... and thank you everyone who reveiwed my first one! I probably update a lot more during the holidays and half-terms... so sorry if my updates go haywire during the school terms!

Stories:

Artemis Fowl: Spiro Dimension - People, this story is NOT on hiatus anymore (hurrah!) but don't expect the updates to come flooding in either. With two AS levels and eight GCSEs to deal with, I don't think I'll be able to see the light of day until next summer :'(

Harry Potter and the Scions of Hogwarts - This is a planned story that I am going to be writing after I've finished with Artemis Fowl. If I EVER finish with Artemis Fowl. This will be following through all seven years, and a bit before as well, and will still be with our favourite criminal genius adolescent and my main OC. Warning! If you don't like AUs, then don't read this one! It'll be featuring the Chosen One of Fire, and also a generous helping of Artemis Fowl and Ivy!

OCs:

Ivy Saraswati Kestrel - The Chosen One of Water, and current heir of the House of Kestrel. She has dark hair, and piercing green eyes, often described as 'eagle' eyes, although she does insist on calling them 'kestrel' eyes. Right now, she is slightly clueless and doesn't even try to question why she has so many abilities. Of course, we'll all be finding out soon enough why she's so good at everything, but don't think that I'm going to be giving away anything right now! Her powers are directly linked to the four elements, water, air, earth and fire. She features in all of my stories, as a companion to Artemis, usually to criticise or to argue (or, as they call it, debate) with him. Although she has to fulfil expectations as the heir to the House of Kestrel, she continues to pursue a life in Artemis's world, which is frowned upon by her mother. Her father, however, is wiser and knows to leave her alone, especially since the Vows have no hold over her anymore.

Her bodyguard, Nubi, tries her best to keep her young charge out of trouble. Well, at least Butler has someone to sympathise with now.

Ivy's best girl friend (actually, at the moment, her only girl friend), Jane, is a gymnastics star, and quite normal. Which is why Ivy associates with her, of course.

Both Nubi and Jane are going to be recieving a very special job quite soon.

Her foster father doesn't really feature anywhere, except as a source of MI5 material and passwords. Her mother, Melissa Kestrel is a good woman, although a little controlling. Somehow, the thought that something may not go the way she wants it to go is not deemed possible by her. Duke Kestrel, the current head of the House of Kestrel, tries to understand his daughter, but fails. Frequently.
