Perkins, Magenta

Teen!Witch Receptionist

The Toy Box

Full name: Magenta Lily Perkins

Nicknames/Aliases: Madge, Maggie, etc.
Age: 23
Date of Birth: December 24th, 2049
Place of Birth: Dundee, Scotland
Heritage: Muggleborn
Wand: Elm wand, just a bit over seven and one-half inches long, centaur tail hair core. 
Education: Hogwarts - Gryffindor (2061 - 2067)
Position in Teen!Witch: Receptionist
Distinguishing characteristics: When she was twelve years old, Magenta refused to wear those horrible braces her parents tried to make her sport. As a result, she has a bit of an overbite. 

Hair: No one really knows what's Magenta's true hair color like, or whether it is curly, straight or full of waves. Its color changes every other week, as does its styling; as a result, it's been bright pink, green, brown, blonde, jet black, orange, etc. Currently, it's a very dark shade of violet. 
Eyes: Chocolate brown, and almond shaped. She magically enlarges her lashes, and coats them with mascara. Her lids are normally covered in some sort of sparkly, glittery or just all around attention catchy eyeshadow, that is accompanied by very dark eyeliner. 
Height: Magenta is roughly 5'3" tall. But she's always wearing heels (flat shoes are for losers, hello) and as such, she appears to be around 5'6" - 5'8." 
Build: Magenta loves all thing sugar, and her slightly stocky build shows it. Her legs aren't particularly long, and her hips and bosom are perhaps a tad big for someone of her height. As it is, Magenta is seemingly oblivious of such frivolous things and does not let her build stop her from wearing certain types of clothes. For the most part. 
General Appearance: Magenta's is known for wearing bright, but stylish clothes. Heels are her best friend, whether they come in the form of boots with six inches heels that reach to her knees, or platform sandals that are to be used at the beach. Sequins aren't really her thing, but she does wear it from time to time. Jewelry is always present, and though headbands, give her a headache, they are used at least once a week. Also, you'll never catch her wearing a pair of jeans. Ever. 

Personality - Background: Magenta Perkins is all smiles, giggles, sparkles, rainbows, sunshines and baby centaurs. Humans are her favourite subject to study, even though they tend to stare at her from time to time with odd expressions plastered on their faces. 

Magenta's mind is normally running a million miles per minute, which is fitting because she won't ponder the same thing for over a minute and a half. Easily flustered, Perkins doesn't really know the meaning of the word patience, and likes to be in control. She, too, takes her job very seriously, so if you were to come between her and her job, you'll get yelled at. And quiet possibly poked somewhere between your eyes, too. 

Though easily distracted (read: bored), Magenta isn't exactly an airhead, or oblivious to her peer's reactions. She's actually a quite intelligent young girl without the faintest idea of what to do with her life other than spending her daddy's money. As it is, Magenta is rather grounded, and despite of coming from a somewhat upper-middle class Scottish family of muggles (her father is a lawyer, her mum a housewife), she was taught to respect people regarded of her social status. 

Because her purpose in this world eludes her, Magenta attended the University of Dundee after completing her studies at Hogwarts, and majored in English because that was what appealed her at the moment. It didn't appeal her when she graduated, however, so Perkins moved out of her parents' house, and moved to London. She's been living in a small flat for the past six months, and working as Teen!Witch's receptionist for eight months now. 

Likes: Colors, shopping, shoes, sugar, candy, chocolate, cake, butterbeer, tea, coffee, really grey eyes (they are so rare), muggle technology, fireworks, soap operas, disco music and clouds.
Dislikes: Perpetually angry folk, frowns, floo network and the Ministry of Magic. So dark and scary-looking.

-Randall Perkins [father, 48]
-Martha Perkins [mother, 45]
-Alice Perkins [sister, 17 and a muggle]

Allergies: None.
Pets: Cassidy, her parrot.
Extras: Magenta is fluent in Portuguese, and what she calls AMERICAN english.
