APPEARANCE

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Lucy is tall and thin with ivory skin and vibrant red hair. She has delicate features: full lips, a sloping nose and two large, pale blue eyes. She is considered by nearly everyone to be quite beautiful, something she uses to her advantage when she can, but she also attempts to overcome how she is thought to be nothing but 'lovely.' She is tall (5'8") and thin with long limbs and wide hips that she often attributes to her lack of athletic grace. She has large feet that she always complains about whenever she goes shoe shopping, but she dislikes it whenever other people point this out.
PERSONAL STYLE: Lucy likes to wear nice clothes, opting for trendier styles but usually nothing too fancy, unless she's in the mood to make a bold statement.

PERSONALITY

LIKES: Pop music, jewelry, candy, Hogwarts feasts and balls, Dueling Club, flying, cheering for her house Quidditch team, stories, warm socks, classical music (specifically Baroque), boys with facial hair, tea, bread
DISLIKES: Crying, Muggle sports, rodents, insects, being told she's wrong, paper cuts, astronomy
DEMENTOR: Lucy was kidnapped when she was seven by her father's work friend Isaac Blackworth. He didn't harm her, but he did scream and angrily break things whenever she cried and asked to be taken home. He kept her in his closet for three days, hiding her, and eventually her terror became so great that she screamed, knocking all of the doors down and knocking him unconscious with them. She managed to catch the Knight Bus and return home, telling her parents what had transpired, but no one had ever heard from Isaac Blackworth again.
BOGGART: Isaac Blackworth (also quite claustrophobic)
PATRONUS: Sneaking out one night with her friends during third year and skinny dipping in the lake. Lucy is generally not one to break the rules, mostly because she never has rather than an inherent need to be 'good,' but it was such a thrill to be out so late and they all had such fun that Lucy forgets even to this day why she agreed to become a prefect.
ERISED: Lucy wants to study Astronomy and space travel
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Lucy can be sweet and bubbly, but she is not a passive creature by any means. She's a tough prefect and rather strict about the rules, but she's not uptight. She loves to let down her hair and laugh, but she understands that there's a time and a place for everything. Ever since she was kidnapped as a child, her parents have been incredibly overprotective, but rather than rebel Lucy begrudgingly accepts that they're just trying to keep her safe, and she's comforted by that fact. She's very maternal with the first year students and very friendly to her peers, and she is nothing if not respectful to her superiors.

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

PARENTS: Seamus Connelly (50), Iris James Connelly (34)
SIBLINGS: Evan Connelly (2)
OTHER FAMILY: none important
BIOGRAPHY: Seamus Connelly is the former Muggle Studies professor for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was dismissed from his post for having an inappropriate relationship with one of his students. Iris James was a tenacious sixth year Hufflepuff when she started the relationship with her soon-to-be husband. There was little fuss at the time about their relationship - no one knew except for Dumbledore, who was quick to notice that sort of thing and asked Connelly to resign. Iris wasn't showing much towards the end of her sixth year, so the student body miraculously was ignorant of her pregnancy. They were curious when she didn't return to school until the night of the Halloween Feast. Lucy had been born on October 13th, just weeks before. Lucy stayed with her father when Iris returned to finish school, and shortly after her graduation it was known to the world what had transpired.

The Connellys became famous for their scandal, whispers following them wherever they went, but Lucy charmed everyone she met, even as a child. When she was seven she was kidnapped by a troubled man that her father had worked with in the Muggle Liaison Office at the Ministry. His name was Isaac Blackwood and he kept her for three days in the closet of his bedroom. He didn't harm her, but he terrified her so by shouting and breaking things that she screamed in horror, blasting open all of the windows and doors in his home and knocking him unconscious. Lucy ran out of the house without looking back and raised her right hand, calling for the Knight Bus to take her home. Isaac Blackwood hasn't been heard or seen since, and she constantly worries that she will meet him again, and that he's done the same to some other poor child.

On her eleventh birthday she received her Hogwarts letter and her parents were both thrilled yet filled with trepidation. They knew how the professors and even some of the other students would look at her because of them, and they did not want that for her. Lucy, they had always said, was the best part of both of them, and she had brought them closer together. At Hogwarts she was faced with gossip and dirty looks because of her parents, but she overcame it all by being a better witch than the rest - excelling in her classes and earning her house many points throughout the year. She was named prefect her fifth year and is now Head Girl. She has loved her time at Hogwarts and will miss it greatly, but she looks forward to the world that waits for her outside.
