likes:
- Partying with friends [ . . . the Gryffindors always know how to throw the best parties]

- Dancing [ . . . it's as if all of your cares just go away for a little while, and everything's ok]
- Journalism [ . . . what's better that digging up dirt on everyone? well, reporting the facts, any who]
- Making Friends [ . . . there's nothing like tricking someone into being your friend, er, no, making new friends who love you unconditionally! yeah, that's right]
dislikes:
- Blood Prejudice [ . . . why can't we all just get along? it's not like we're all that different]
- Spiders [ . . . curse those creepy crawly little dudes! i hate them]
- Stereotypes [ . . . why can't anyone just prove themselves? it's not like i'm just a crazy redhead. there's more. same with the rest of them]
- Moving [ . . . leaving all of my friends behind is nothing that i would ever like to repeat, even if i was little]
- Being Yelled At / People Yelling [ . . . why can't people just talk things over? there's never a real reason for them to actually raise their voices]
habits/mannerisms:
- Commenting [ . . . all right, i know everyone knows better at a young age, but come on! sometimes people just need me to voice their opinions and help them out, just a little bit]
- Sticking Her Nose Into Things She Shouldn't [ . . . sometimes, i just can't help it, i find out things that i shouldn't know, that's none of my business, i just can't help it sometimes]
- Being Overexcited and Overbearing [ . . . i admit, sometimes I do get a bit too excited and might just end up driving people just a little bit crazy. it's hard not to]
- Remembers A LOT [ . . . it's something that helps me with my writing, of course. i can remember all of the things that would end up making fascinating stories and stuff]
strengths:
- Writing [ . . . writing really is like my one true loves, it's something that comforts me, and is just really interesting, plus, you get to look at things from all sorts of different perspectives]
- Studying [ . . . i guess it's part of being a ravenclaw, really, i have some sort of thirst for knowledge, and it just makes studying one of my stronger points]
- Retaining Information [ . . . i can remember quite a bit, from what the professor drones on about during class, to all of the latest gossip]
- Cheering People Up [ . . . i guess it's a bit of an odd thing about me, a bit of charm, i guess, but with my personality i find it rather easy to cheer people up]
weaknesses:
- Keeping Quiet [ . . . sometimes i just can't manage to keep myself quiet, i just have to talk sometimes, and i can't contain it all that much]
- Staying Focused [ . . . at least, that's hard when i get extremely bored anyway, and when that happens i really can't focus on anything at all]
- Staying Still [ . . . i can never really manage to stay still for any long periods of time. i'm always moving in one way or another, no matter what, really]
- Staying Out Of Everyone's Business [ . . . that's really hard for me, especially when i really, truly want to go into some form of journalism. it's a weakness i'm not so proud of]
personality: Rachelle is an intelligent young witch, which coincides with the fact that she is from the Ravenclaw house. She tends to lean a bit towards being happy go lucky, though not in the sense that it's over the top and she can't knuckle down and be serious, which she does, relatively well. This young witch is friendly towards almost everyone, and has no pure blood prejudice to her. She doesn't judge anyone all too quickly and allows people, for the most part, to prove themselves to her. Rachelle is a good listener, despite the fact that it may seem otherwise at times, and she is also extremely loyal, and not one of the secrets of her friends, despite being a want to be Journalist, will slip from her lips. She's loyal almost to a fault, and is willing to help out if younger students need help, when needed.
strong areas of magic: Transfiguration and Care of Magical Creatures [ . . . i adore and excel transfiguration. why? because, who wouldn't be at least relatively interested in turning inanimate object into animate objects, or, for instance, rats into teacups. and care of magical creatures is just pleasant, learning about all of those magical creatures and what not]
weak areas of magic: Potions and History of Magic [ . . . well, i'm not so good at potions, mostly due to the fact that i typically end up blowing up, or failing a number of potions that we attempt in class, not for lack of trying, of course. and history of magic is a weakness for me because professor binns just drones on, and i practically fall asleep every time that i enter that classroom. it never seems to be able to keep my focus for all that long]

family:
father: Patrick Holcomb; 43 years old
mother: Richelle Holcomb; 42 years old
brother 1: Dylan Holcomb; 20 years old
brother 2: Braxton Holcomb; 12 years old
plus other unnamed family in England (might name them later on
background: Rachelle Lindsey Holcomb was born in the United States of America in a relatively small hospital in a group of wizarding settlements. She was the second of the children born to Patrick and Richelle Holcomb, who already had a three year old son at the time. Rachelle grew up in the United States for the first six years of her life before they moved back to England, purchasing a rather pleasant manor in the hills, though nothing fancy. The official reason for their move was to visit relatives who hadn't fared well during the war, something that her own parents hadn't openly participated in, since they had to stay home and watch the children, though they had supported the Order.
Their move had a rather large affect on Rachelle, considering the fact that she had to leave all of her wizard friends behind when they moved. However, soon enough everything was made up for, five years later, when she was off to Hogwarts. Rachelle was sorted into Ravenclaw, and almost immediately launched herself into making new friends, having not had many since she had moved, and only having cousins and such, which didn't really count. Rachelle made her way through the years, passing her O.W.Ls with flying colors, studying hard, like any good little Ravenclaw, making new friends, and eventually realizing her dream of Journalism.

rp example: Rachelle walked slowly through the shelves in the library, one finger lifted to slide, ever so gently, over the spines of the book, a slightly smile curving her lips upward as she continued forward. Where is it? She asked herself, furrowing her brow ever so slightly in concentration. She needed to find that Transfiguration book. Granted, she had her own, except it was all the way back in her dormitory, and there was absolutely no way that she would be going back up their, just to find it, especially when she was in the library, and they were sure to have another copy, somewhere. Rachelle was just fine being lazy today, as long as she ended up getting all of her work home for her classes tomorrow.
A grin slowly spread over Rachelle's lips as she gently pulled on the spine of the book, causing it to slowly emerge from the relatively crowded shelves of the library. It was just the book that she had been searching for for what had seemed to be the last ten minutes. Finally. She thought idly as she carried the book back to her place, on a desk in a secluded, rather quiet corner, which was all the better to keep her from getting distracted. Carefully, the young Ravenclaw opened the book to the correct page and began further work on her essay. It was going to take a while.
