PERSONALITY: Areyna is in essence a loud flamboyant woman who can attract a lot of attention, but doesn't really care. The only things she wants is to be considered different the word normal disgusts her. She's an affable if sometimes intimidating personality and usually means no offense by the things she does or says. The woman can get along with nearly anyone from the most meek shy person to an overly aggressive bully type personality. She is quick with a smile and joke but even quicker with a sarcastic reply.
Areyna is very spontaneous and has very few habits because she fears being average, but much to her dismay she does have a habit of biting her bottom lip and tapping her foot. She enjoys doing things just to keep people on their toes. She doesn't embarass easily and has no problem doing a whole bunch of silly things. She is often considered rather child like and does indeed blend in well with her own kids and the student she teaches. Areyna is in her own way young at heart. She realizes the world isn't the fairytale like world that most children think, but she sees no reason to act as if it isn't. Well at least until the monsters come out of the dark to eat you.
Looking at her and the way she tends to behave most people will be very surprised to find that under the pretty harmless looking exterior, that Areyna can at times be down right cold if not evil. She is ruthlessly and unrepentantly willing to do anything to protect her family. She has a temper, but for the most part she isn't all that violent, but threaten her family and she will scatter your body parts over half the state of Florida without even thinking about it. She is also a brutally practical woman one is can do things most people wouldn't be able to do to protect her family. For example she's quite aware that her husband has some really nasty late night habits, but instead of worrying about something she can't change she is the type who would shake her head and figure out a potion that will obliterate all signs of blood from his robes to minimize the evidence against her husband.
Her best quality is her honesty she will very rarely lie. She is also inherently a calm person who rarely allows her emotions to cause her to act rashly. But unfortunately just like everyone else Areyna is not perfect and tends to be considered rude just because of her tendency to not sugar coat her words. She also tends to trust anyone until they prove they can't be trusted and this often gets her in trouble. Her biggest weakness is her confidence although she looks very confident and sure of herself internally Areyna is always questioning herself and her actions. She is almost certain that everything she does is wrong, but can't help it.

FULL HISTORY: Areyna has a very small family that at one time consisted of her, her mother, and her father. Areyna's mother Theresa Langley was a muggleborn wizard who had always lied about her heritage. She was a very calm and accepting woman who would die for the people that she loves. She was a beautiful woman with soft round feature big deep brown eyes and sleek beautiful curly chest nut brown hair. She worked as a muggle bartender.
The girl's father Langston Havic is a half-blood but would not admit it under threat of death. He is a very reserved man who while has the same emotions as everyone else does not allow himself to show these emotions. He's a tall gangly man with very dark eyes and plain brown hair. He loves his daughter but feels that if he doesn't show approval that she'll try harder. Because average is complexly unacceptable.
Their family was rarely what your average person would call happy but they lived together peacefully until Areyna was six and Langston discovered that Theresa had lied about her heritage. Ever since then Areyna has lived with her father operating a small bookstore in the wizarding world. Areyna never sees her mother, because she despises the woman and blames her for her father’s coldness. Reversely Areyna nearly worships her father. She strives to make the man proud and would do anything to make him happy.
There was no question as to what school Areyna would go to. Langston had gone to Hogwarts as had his father and his father's father before that. It would be completely unacceptable for Areyna to have gone to any other school. When the girl received her Hogwart's letter she appeared very calm and unsurprised, but internally she was ecstatic because she had always feared that she would not be accepted. But she did want her father to know her doubts so she carefully remained calm and unimpressed.
Areyna’s first few years at Hogwarts went smoothly. During her first three years at Hogwarts Areyna's life was mostly quiet she did well in school and quickly made established a good strong friendship with several of the girls in her dorm. During her fourth year that would all change. It would start with a disaster during a student planned Halloween party and it would end with Dementors storming their party, a dead girl, and a concussion on Areyna's part. That would just be the beginning and as far as Areyna one of the least distressing events. A lot of things happened that year, but only two of them at least to Areyna would were of any importance.
The first and the harshest event was over Christmas when she got a nasty little present from the Death Eaters to remind her that she was on the wrong side of the divide. Of course the deadly little gift was somethign she hardly cared about, but the problem was that there was evidence that her father had known about the deadly gift and hadn't warned her in the least and had in fact made no move to save her from it. This event would change the rest of Areyna's life. It was from this event that Areyna decided that no matter what she believed about the whole pureblood halfblood issue that she had to pick the side where she really didn't belong, but would be safest for everyone concerned.
Areyna decided she would become or at least act like a good little pureblood loyalist and she would do so with a vengance. She showed no hesitation and went about sepearting herself from the halfbloods and muggleborns she knew with a verve. She brutally shoved all her old friends away and wriggled her way into at least uneasy alliances with the 'right sort of people.' It took her less than a term to alienate pretty much everyone she called friend and change her reputation from a friendly freak to a Snake in Ravens clothing.
The next most important moment in the year was in fact if most people thought about it really a small moment. It was just a simple girl fight in the midst of a year full of monster attacks and death eaters galore. In comparision a small classroom fight seemed like small potatoes, but to Areyna it would be pivotal because with an angry strike she would start down a road that would lead to a happily ever after she had never really beleived she'd find or in fact ever deserve. It would be during that fight between her and her former best friend that Areyna would stomp on and almost break Odin's ankle. And it would be because of that angry strike that she'd take Odin up to the hospital wing and start an unlikely friendship that would rapidly develop into something much stronger than any friendship. She and Odin would in no time be close to inseperable. Their relationships defintely had little bumps in the road, but it would be less than a year before Areyna would be absolutely without a doubt certain that Odin would be the only man for her. He would be her first and last and she'd be very content with that.
After her fourth year though things really didn't improve in the world's climate things went fairly commonly at least at Hogwarts. Again things weren't perfect, but she wasn't complaining since the vicious monsters trying to eat her were cut at least in half and she always seemed to have her own hero around to save her. She is still fairly certain she'd probably not have survived Hogwarts if it wasn't for Odin. But for whatever reason the girl despite her own personal beliefs had managed for the most part to survive Hogwarts.
She and Odin married almost immediately after graduating of course in her mind they had been all but married since their summer trip to Italy before her fifth year. Upon leaving Hogwarts Areyna joined the Falmoth Falcons as a beater. She and Odin would move to Italy and live in a small town Areyna had fallen in love with on their Italy vacation just before their fifth year. They would spend a lot of their time going between her childhood home with the bookstore and their new home. Areyna would become a pretty solid house hold name as she became the poster child for the Falmoth Falcons, because the petite little beater would draw a lot of attention. She was often used in articles about the team and was once even featured in Enchanted a Men's magazine as the wizarding world's hottest quidditch player. She would wind up sitting out a year at nineteen to have her first child Huo.
After having Huo she had considered retiring and simply raising her child however Odin encouraged her to keep with Quidditch because he knew how much she loved it. So Areyna would return to the Falcons and continue with her carrer for several more years taking one more break to have her triplets Panic, Paine, and Mayhem. She however would return to the quidditch world while Odin took care of most of the home stuff. She would help out but he was defintely the core of the home. She would stick with quidditch for several years, but would eventually retire to spend more time with her children and Odin.
She would take great pleasure in this, but her generally hyper nature made it difficult for her not to do something else so she returned to studying potions which had been a passion of her's at Hogwarts. It wasn't long before some of her tamer potions were being sold along with many of Odin's creations. Her and Odin's life would go along quietly enough at least for a woman married to a man like Odin with children like their's could be. Eventually she would be given a job offer in the states. At first Areyna didn't even consider the matter as it would be horribly selfish to move her entire family and away from her father and his shop just to teach potions at a fancy school in Florida. However eventually she and Odin would discuss it and decide that maybe moving their children from the tense scene that was europe would be a good idea. Most of her family and Odin's man Robery would move to florida where they would settle in fairly quickly. Areyna would teach potions, while Odin would be the Defense Professor and the head of the Svadhisthana house. Huo would be enrolled in the school and while not attending the school her three sons would be raised in the suite at the school with Robert as their nanny.
{ IMPRESSIONS }
RP SAMPLE: Life was good well at least it was whenever her students weren't trying to blow her up. She would never understand how some people could mess up some of the easiest potions. Okay so she had in her day caused more than her fair share of explosions when she was experimenting, but really how did one manage to blow up a babbling beverage potion? The potion ingredient weren't even combustible. Yet somehow every week there seemed to be an explosion. Fortunately this week it had only been a little one and no one had been hurt. Of course most of the class was unhappy about being covered in a blue ooze, but Areyna had decided it was sort of neat. It looked pretty cool splashed across her lime green shirt.
So instead of getting mad she gave them extra credit. This hadn't made the rest of her class very happy, but teenagers were rarely happy anyways so Areyna figured it didn't matter that much. As she left class sporting her lime green and now ooze blue shirt she was in a pretty good mood. Of course when she was heading home she was almost always in a good mood. She couldn't wait to see Odin and her beautiful wild little children. Of course Huo was at Hogwarts, but she still had the triplets to dote over. As a mother she supposed she wasn't supposed to have favorites and she felt guilty about the fact, but the triplets were her favorites. She loved Huo to pieces, but the triplets just managed to squeeze in as her favorites. Not that she'd ever tell Huo that.
But she couldn't wait to get home to see her boys. She was sure they had already gotten into all sorts of trouble as they were certainly quite the handful for Robert. Paine was of course the quiter of the bunch, but she was pretty that didn't mean he was less trouble she suspected he was just better at it than his brothers. She worried just a little that Paine might be more like his father than any of them had guessed. Of course even if he was Areyna would still love him monster or angel he was still hers. She was also quite sure that Mayhem was probably already hip deep in trouble as he seemed to have a radar for trouble. Even if it wasn't looking it always seemed to find him. And then there was of course Panic who was probably the most like her. He was the gentlest of the triplets and woefully short of confidence. She of course knew this was her fault, but she had already talked to Odin about it and they were hoping to fix it before he went and got as crazy as his mother.
And last but defintely not least and probably the reason she enjoyed returning home the very most was her Odin. She loved her children more than life herself, but Odin was her other half. Albeit a very dark violent and sometimes terrfying half, but he was the her Odin the man who brought the shadows to her color. Really she wasn't getting to see nearly as much of Odin as she'd prefer. He liked to keep busy with all his projects and while he always made time for her it never seemed to be enough well at least not to her. So she was excited for the evening because they had plans. She was going to spend some quality time with her three little imps and then she'd happily pack them up and send them off with Robert so she and Odin could have some private time.
This thought of course had her moving through the halls fairly quickly almost at a run. One would think seeing a professor run through the halls was unusual, but over the years people had grown accustomed to Areyna's sometimes odd behaviors. She wasn't entirely sure why the school put up with her, but she was glad they did. Of course it probably has something to do with Odin, but she chose not to worry about it too much. She liked their strange newish home as living in Florida was always interesting, but she'd be just as happy in her little purple house in italy or their haunted house over where her Cousin in Law and her funny little husband lived. Areyna wasn't hard to please as long as she had her family.
Fortunately it didn't take her long to get home. She tried to keep herself in shape mostly because one never knew when one would have to run for their life and of course out of shape people weren't any good at quidditch. The moment she walked in the door she couldn't help but smile despite the fact that their family room looked like a tornado had hit it. Panic was curled up in a chair reading a book that he was always careful never to let anyone get a good look at. Panic was sprawled on the floor coloring half on the paper and half on the rug as usual there were hundreds of balled up drawings around him as he tended to get about half way and decide the drawing wasn't good enough before crumpleing it up and starting over. And then there was Mayhem who had evidentally just finished tying Robert to one of their over stuffed arm chairs. She smiled warmly and shook her head. "At least one of you is going to be in big trouble when you father gets home." Her tone was quite serious, but even as she sounded as if they were all in big trouble she couldn't help, but think just how nice it was to be home.
