Abilities:

❦ Witchcraft
Hermione is a witch capable of both healing and destruction. Her strengths and spells come from the knowledge she has obtained through reading and experimenting. All though she considers herself a white witch, she is very knowledgeable of black magic solely because their war against Voldemort calls for at least knowing and understanding what the enemy is capable of. She will never raise her wand to kill, she is more easily prone to stunning and disarming. She is known to heal anything from fractured bones, to burned flesh, even severed body parts.

Her spells range from defensive and offensive to transfiguration, along with everyday remedies in repairing or aid. She is a very skilled potions master. She is also able to apparate: a form of teleportation if you want to think about it that way. She can travel to anywhere as long as she has been there before in a matter of seconds.

❦ Intelligence
Hermione is very intelligent and capable of breaking most codes or solving most puzzles. Even if she doesn't necessarily understand a topic or know it, she is an incredibly fast learner and adaptable. There are very few instances in which her problem solving skills don't work for the better.

The young witch is also very fluent in different topics and more than likely has some form of information on almost everything, even if it's a little bit askew from the actual thing. Regardless, her knowledge of everything important or useless tends to be what saves the day more often than not.

Strengths:

As far as magic is concerned, Hermione's only limit is whether or not she knows a certain spell or potion that can be used in whatever given moment to solve whatever problem she has because most of the magic in her canon is very basic in the sense that it has it's uses and it does it well. From growing bones, to destroying matter itself- it's all about whether or not Hermione knows it. Odds are she does, she carries around spell books of both foul and good nature and is always learning new things. She's invincible as long as she knows what spell to use.

Weaknesses:

Despite how strong her abilities make her, Hermione doesn't hold the strength to ever offer a finishing blow. Even to the cruelest and the foulest, she won't ever raise her hand to try and kill. This has gotten her into trouble in the past since most things she beats tend to come after her with murder on their minds.

Personality:

At first impressions, Hermione might come off as a bossy know-it-all with an ego far grander than the room she's in. She will speak, determined to be the one with the correct answer, and always share an opinion when given the opportunity. Although some might find this behavior intrusive, the young witch means well. After coming from a regular(muggle) family, she feels as if she has to prove herself to the wizardry world and to the people around her. At times, this has prevented her from making friends but eventually, her other traits begin to show opening that awkward social barrier.

Caring and charismatic with the yearning to help those in need, Hermione can be the most reliable person one could ever ask for. She would never discriminate on a task or set anything aside that needs doing. Bribing her would be impossible, she holds too deep into her morals for something like that and as much as it can hurt or torment her both physically or mentally, she will not give up to get the job done. What she doesn't know she will discover, what she hasn't done yet won't stop her from trying. She gives without caring too much on receiving.

Her love of knowledge and her determination to help others has made her quite the activist when it comes to people's rights and how things are run. She is not afraid to speak her mind and she is more than capable of defending herself through concrete facts and even with a wand. She has a strong temper and if provoked, her wrath will show. All in all, she'll keep her good mannerisms in place. She's pretty much a conservative in thought but clearly liberal in most social idealism.

Although she is known to be very strict in regards to rules or protocols, she is also very capable of breaking them fully aware of consequences if she knows that something is in jeopardy or they really need it. Despite understanding how important order truly is to any situation, she's well capable of constructing chaos if it means doing the right thing. She's very open minded and won't judge anyone or anything by a single glance. In regards to people, she won't discriminate by who or what they are. Every one is a living thing and must be respected and she holds true to that philosophy. She also holds true to the ideology that with great power comes great responsibility. To those with gifts (let's say magic or social power, etc&), she believes they should be wiser in order to keep themselves from abusing what they have. She will always stand up for the weak or the defenseless and give a lecture or two to anyone who's abusing their powers.

At most times, Hermione is seen as the voice of reason, assessing every matter and situation with an unbiased mind providing every piece of logic that could be presented with it. This, at times, can make her somewhat of a damper to others but she means well. She isn't afraid of addressing people if she needs to, or telling a higher up of something suspicious that is going on. Although it might categorize Hermione as a snitch, she means well only looking for the protection of the people she cares about. She's not afraid of having her thoughts rejected understanding the symbolic meaning of freedom of speech. She doesn't expect for her opinion to be followed but she does hope it's heard and when it isn't, it's a good way to get her upset.

In regards to how strongly she feels about the things she believes in, Hermione has quite the temper when upset. Always keeping a level head most of the time, when provoked, Hermione is no stranger to anger or rage. Canonly, she has actually physically injured someone because of her strong emotions (rage, really).

Despite how 'in control' Hermione seems to come off, the girl has certainly met her shares of pain. Suffering from a rather low self-esteem brought upon years of teasing and people clearly not exactly understanding her, she might be prone to putting on a hard face but on the inside, words and actions still wound the girl. Like every teenager in her position, no one likes to be treated differently, Hermione is the same. She just knows how to hide it better than some.

Journal Entry :[VOICE]
Day 001 || Time: approx. 1800hrs

I can't quite put my finger on it but there is something strangely familiar about this place. If I had to describe it I would compare it to the feeling of Diagon Alley. By what I have discovered, this strange place is one of many. I'm not sure how I feel about that, however...

There are so many creatures here that I can't, for the life of me, recall ever reading about in a book. Some come close in features, but not quite. Once I find some parchment I will start collecting data. I'm rather excited about it. New creatures to discover-

-right. Where was I? Ah, yes.

Harry. Harry is gone. He's not here. I searched everywhere for him- and Ronald of course- and found nothing, not even a single trace that they could have been here. My magic is still functioning, there doesn't seem to be anything preventing me from using my wand but for now I will keep it to myself.

I do hope Harry is all right.

RP Sample:

It had been hours now since her arrival into Star Kingdom. She had been led to the inn and had been given a room and after convincing some moogle's that she was fine she hadn't done much but laid in bed. She was still shaking slightly, her breath uneasy, her arm burning. It wasn't until she realized that the wound was bleeding through her sleeve that she managed to get up and wash it.

Her body was sore, she had never been tortured before but she refused to let it consume her. She had to be strong, it was over now, wasn't it? She had important things to do here, after all! She couldn't let it get to her!

Harry was her main concern, that boy never learned that he wasn't alone in this. Although his sacrifice had been greater, Ron and Hermione had stayed true to their word of helping him, their very blood had been shed for him. Just as Hermione cared for everyone but herself, Harry was the same. Harry merely placed all blame and pressure on himself and made Hermione far too worried about him to bother with anything else. He never did learn. Looking for anymore hints was pointless for now, she wasn't in her own world.

Instead, she made her way back into onto the bed, grabbed her bag and pulled out Ron's old radio. She knew that it wouldn't work and of course all she was going to get was static, but it was noise and she just didn't want it to be quiet at the moment. She felt alone. A little scared. Weak. It would all pass of course, it always did. Hermione was strong.
