[Zoë Marek]

OH ME, OH MY IT'S:
ZOE ARYL MAREK

I haven´t decided on a play-by yet. I´ll post it in the face claim when I do.

ALLIANCE - GOOD , FOURTEEN, HUFFLEPUFF

”THIS WORLD IS MADE OUT OF SUGAR. IT CAN CRUMBLE SO EASILY, BUT DON´T BE AFRAID TO STICK YOUR TONGUE OUT AND TASTE IT¨

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

HELLO THERE, VERY NICE TO MEET YOU! COULD YOU TELL ME YOUR
NAME AND IT'S MEANING, IF AT ALL POSSIBLE? THEN I WOULDN'T AT ALL MIND KNOWING YOUR BLOOD STATUS, BIRTHDAY AND AGE. CHEERS!
- - - - - - - - - - -

"Ummm, Hi. I’m Zoë. My Mom told me that she picked the name Zoë because while it was pretty it also sounded like it has a little bit of fire in it. Something fierce, that would fight just to live and breathe life. But now, I guess it just means me. Aryl was my Mum´s surname and Marek, my Fathers. I know its weird, but its a sort of tradition on Mum´s side of the family, to use the wife´s surname as the child´s middle name. My parents were both magical folk, wizzards you know. I guess that would mean that you´d call me a pure blood or something. But to me that sounds like I´m a dog. And its not that dogs aren´t wonderful creatures... just the whole thing is a bit silly, half blood, pure blood, recessive traits, hemophilia, the entire concept of distinguishing people on who their parents are and what is in their blood rather than what they´ve done or how they go through life. Birthdays are sort of the same way. ´Congrats you´ve survived another year´. Its not that impressive, its pretty much why I ignore my birthday, which is on the 3rd of July. Oh I´m 14. It usually confuses people. They either say I act older or younger. I guess that balances out to being my age."


DUDE, THATS INTERESTING - WHAT HOUSE WERE YOU IN? OR WHAT HOUSE ARE YOU IN? AND MY OH MY YOUR WAND - WHAT IS IT MADE OUT OF?
- - - - - - - - - -

"Its not really all that interesting. I suppose stubborn. I´m in my fourth year as a Hufflepuff. I think its because my favourite colour is yellow. I guess its a pretty dumb reason to be in a house, then again I´ve never met too many other people whose favourite colour is yellow. And I don´t particularly fit anywhere else, so Hufflepuff will have to do. My wand? you noticed how different it looks, didn´t you? Its only 7 and one half inches and is made of drift wood. It has a thestral´s tail at its core. "


AWESOME, WELL ANYWAYS...SO LET'S SAY YOUR STANDING IN FRONT OF AN DEMENTOR WHAT PATRONUS DO YOU PERFORM?
- - - - - - - - - - -

¨My patronus! I just performed it for the first time recently. It was sort of weak... But it was a butterfly."


THAT IS ENTERTAINING, HAVE YOU LEARNED HOW TO PERFORM AN ANIMAGUS?
- - - - - - - - - - -
"I haven´t yet, but not for a lack of trying. I should like to be able to turn into something different, to see life differently. Ever since I was little I´ve wanted to fly, or to run like a horse, or even a dog. What is the difference between the way it feels to soar like a Hawk or tilter heavily like a vulture or to falter in the breeze like a butterfly... or how does a hummingbird flutter so quickly? I probably never have been able to because its so hard to choose, I always change my mind and never focus. But I imagine that it could be very useful."


OKAY, RIGHT - THERE'S A WAR GOING ON WHO ARE YOU SIDING WITH ?[DARK FORCE PLOT- SEE MAIN PLOT THREAD FOR DETAILS]
- - - - - - - - - - -

"I don´t really have much of a choice on this one. I really wanted to be neutral because I think its stupid to label side and things as good and bad, but I just can´t. I don´t believe that people should ever be oppresed. I´m afraid that I also don´t believe that people should just stand to the side when they have an opinion. I also have this problem... when the world keeps threatening to end, I refuse to believe it. I don´t like sinicism, most of the time I don´t listen... and for those reasons and my never ending hope, I´m against the dark side."


RIIIIGHT SO UHM WHATS YOUR SEXUALITY AND ARE YOU SINGLE OR TAKEN? WHATS COOKING IN THE LOVE NEST?
- - - - - - - - - - -

"My sexuality? I haven´t really thought of it too much. I suppose I´m, ….would you call it...., straight? I´m only fourteen, after all!... No I don´t have a boyfriend. I never have. I´ve Never been kissed. My thoughts on relationships are decently non-existent. I don´t really want to kiss a boy just yet. Maybe if I knew he was my soul mate. I don´t know if I believe in soul mates yet either. I´ll let you know if I ever find him. I don´t yet understand why people act as though their entire life has fallen apart when they break up. I know what heart break is though. My Aunt likes to say ¨There are no heartbreaks that chocolate can´t fix¨ and then she´ll admit that its not true and say, ¨Okay, there are some heart breaks that chocolate can´t fix, but that´s what the rainboots are for. Because Rain will wash away everything if you let it¨. "


ALRIGHT SO NOW WE'RE CLOSE AND EVERYTHING IS OUT IN THE OPEN I'M GOING TO HAVE A LOOK AT YOUR PERSONALITY. WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME YOUR FEARS, LOVES, HATES ETC.

- - - - - - - - - - -

"I love a lot of things. The colours yellow and blue are probably at the top of the list. I also like all living creatures, particularly dogs and horses and birds and butterflies. Days with blue skies are lovely but sometimes I really enjoy a good storm. Recently, I´ve had a fascination with poetry and I´m trying to learn french. I like Music quite a bit too and flying. I also like to play tennis and to run, and play soccer, quidditch, softball....

On the other hand, I hate tear jerker movies. Seriously there are enough reasons to cry. I also hate reading lists, they ruin any good book. While I enjoy mud, dust can be pretty annoying, it gets up in your eyes and then makes the rest of your day uncomfortable. I hate bullies, as reiterated from above, Life is hard enough. Also people who believe themselves to be in anyway superior to others- life would be better without them.

My fears... snobby people. They´re pretty horrifying. As are liars. I also.... don´t really like food, well, I love it... but I´m kind of afraid of getting fat which some people have accused as anorexic. I eat a lot.. I also exercise a lot.. maybe too much. Other than that my fears mainly center around loosing people’ being abandoned by them, deserted, having them stolen from me. I also tend to worry that I´m not a very good friend.

You see I can be a little bit weird and different. The kind of weird that´s very happy most of the time and loves frolicking through sunflower fields and the way that the sun feels on my skin. I do in fact doodle hearts and stars on my notes. Its rather dull because I´m not very good at drawling so the doodles are fairly limited to hearts, stars, clouds, the moon, the sun, and music notes. I´m not normally so girly but due to my sub-par artistic abilities, I´m limited in any hope of expressing my interests rather than just my shorter-than-class-is attention span. I try to sick up for other people that I see... in a tight spot, though the politics of the moment make life difficult. Sometimes I talk too much. Other times I´m introverted. I also try to be very positive, I tend to come across as too optimistic but deep down I´ll admit to myself the reality of the situation."


WOW, YOU ARE INTERESTING MAN. NOW TALK ABOUT A TOPIC THAT IS CLOSE TO YOU IN SOME DETAIL.
- - - - - - - - - - -

"Have you ever noticed that Disney has to have a ¨hit¨song in almost every single movie they make, animated, of course. I mean, The Jungle Book has ¨I wanna be like you¨and the ¨bare necesities¨Lion King ¨The Circle of Life¨and ¨Hakuna Mattat¨ as well as ¨Can you feel the love tonight¨, Aladin, ¨A whole new world¨, Pocahontas, ¨colours of the wind¨, Mulan ¨Reflections¨ and there are about five hundred zillion other that I´m positive that I´m forgetting. I think that the villian songs are complete, one hundred percent, over looked. Have you ever seriously listened to ¨Be prepared¨?

¨I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention"

Why groups of friends don´t burst out into song together singing such cleaver and diverting lyrics, I don´t know. Or what about Gaston. In the broadway version reprise there is a line that actually says ¨Who can make up these endless refrains like Gaston?¨ Im not usually one to watch television, let alone talk about it. But this was on my mind at 2 am.... and well, it seemed relevant.


SO, WHAT ABOUT FAMILY? WHERE DO YOU COME FROM? WHAT IS YOUR HISTORY AND DO YOU HAVE BROTHERS, SISTERS, AUNTS AND UNCLES?
- - - - - - - - - - -

"My family is kind of complicated and its long, but I´ll try to shorten it up as much as possible. Most of it, I have to tell you from what I´ve figured out from Mum´s diary. Her name was Sarah Aryl and she was drop dead gorgeous. She had green eyes and a sort of dirt coloured hair. My Dad was Matthew Marek. They fell in love when they were 22 but didn´t marry for another six years. My Mum always wanted to have kids but she was a bit of a dreamer, the kind of girl who blew about with them wind. Some would have called her a hippie. She was ambitious, nonetheless, and driven. My dad was really smart. He was tall and lanky. Mostly nerdy but very sociable. I still had some of his old shirts that I slept in and its looking as though I inherited his awkwardness but my Mum´s petite frame. Its weird to think that they´ve been gone nearly half of my life now. They died when they went to Mexico when I was seven. It was unclear what they had been doing there, but they got caught in the cross fire of drug lords or something. It doesn´t really matter why, just that they´re gone and never coming back.

I read in her diary that she wanted to paint the solar system on the back of her children´s hands so that they would have to learn the entire universe before they can say that they know anything like the back of their hand. So that´s how I try to live my life. After that I went to live with my Aunt Judy in England. She´s not really my Aunt, but a family friend. Before England I lived in the the states very close to the Chesapeake Bay. I missed the Bay a lot when I moved to England. It was like a third heartbreak on top of loosing my parents and leaving my dog behind. My eternal playground where I had seen every sunset and sunrise of my life was gone. Aunt Judy, while being very thin has her theory about chocolate. She really is a great lady, non-magical. But there was just so much chocolate and it didn´t really work too well. Her kitchen is yellow. Its a very happy place. She cooks a lot and its always warm. I refused to sleep anywhere else for my first month in England.

But Aunt Judy says that I have my father´s resilience. Please don´t take this the wrong way, I do miss them. There are still days when I cry suddenly for no reason at all, but I have to keep living. There is so much to see and learn. Sometimes I´m afraid that the more I move on, the more I loose their memory. My mind is only soo big, it can only handle so much. I guess you would call what I´ve just told you the big plot points of my life. Mum used to tell me that she was the worrier and Papa the warrior and that I was ¨the girl with small hands and big eyes who never stops asking for more¨.

I THINK THATS EVERYTHING, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY BEFORE I GO?
- - - - - - - - - - -

¨Cheers¨

THE ROLEPLAYING SAMPLE !

Zoë woke up. Not a particularly remarkable thing to do. The first few moments were in fact, not remarkable. Quite fuzzy really. Kind of like a woolly bear. There was nothing intelligent about them and her head kind of hurt. But as she slid her feet to the cold wood floor she caught a glimpse of the sunrise from her window. Her heart reminded her that there was nothing better than to awaken with the sunrise and she recalled one of her favourite quotes, ¨You Will put the win in winsome and .. lose some. You will put the star in starting over and no matter how many line mines erupt in a minute, make sure your mind lands on the beauty of this funny place called life.¨ As silly as it sounded and while its something that almost every breathing being would jest at, today was a new day, a day to start over, a day to make amazing, remarkable, incredible, fantastic. As she moved to the faucet to feel the cold water running over her hands she remembered how she had been intending on looking in a thesaurus for more positive descriptive words. She really did over use fantastic, amazing, wonderful, glorious and others too frequently. Superb. She rarely found use for that one. It sounded ugly.

After spitting the glob of minty freshness out of her mouth, Zoë, skipped down stairs, the appropriately absurd song from Pippy Longstocking ¨What shall I do today¨ playing in her mind.
