LORNA JI-HYUN CLARKE
Basics
Character Name: Lorna Ji-Hyun Clarke

Year: 5th year
House: Hufflepuff
Date of Birth: July 12, 2000
Blood Status: Muggleborn
Wand: Phoenix tail feather and gingko, 8 3/4 inches, rigid
Personality
Likes: Socializing, reading, studying, history, logic, puzzles, green tea, and dragons
Dislikes: Assumptions, inaccurate facts, stupidity, ignorance, discrimination of any kind, typical Asian stereotypes, and yellow fever.
Personality: Lorna has always considered herself to be an ambivert. Sometimes she feels energized by long periods of socialization. When she feels more extroverted, she will laugh and smile and act like one of the friendliest, warmest people in the world. She'll joke around and make idle smalltalk. As soon as she goes into her more introverted phase, she begins to grow colder. She'll start to get quieter and more reserved. Eventually, she'll just try to leave the social situation all together.
Lorna is also very heavily focused on her schoolwork and grades. Even when she was in primary school, her parents encouraged her to get the highest grades she could possibly get. Academics were always important in her family. Her parents never tried to involve her in the arts or sports because of the value they placed in academic affairs. She will stay up as late as she needs to in order to ensure that her schoolwork is completed to the best of her ability. She typically doesn't accept anything below an O and will pull all-nighters to make sure her assignments are O worthy. She will often stress out if she gets an E or lower on an assignment.
Lorna is never one to back down from a challenge of any kind. Give her a puzzle and she won't rest until she solves it. Her determination is one of her most prevalent traits and it's a trait she values highly. She also has a great amount of pride in her muggle and Korean heritage. She will often write to her mother in Korean and will usually swear in Korean to avoid getting in trouble for cursing. Sometimes when she wants to insult someone without them knowing, she will insult them in Korean. Lorna also has a love for Quidditch and is pretty much the only sport she ever has/will enjoy.

Character History:
Lorna Ji-Hyun Clarke was born to the renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Adam Clarke and his wife, the renowned psychiatrist Dr. Yuhn-ha Clarke nee Kim. From her earliest years, Lorna's parents had high expectations for her. She was always expected to get the highest grades in her class, which often isolated her. Lorna didn't really mind, though. In fact, she usually preferred talking to her teachers and other adults rather than her peers. When Lorna was around six, she began to experience some strange occurrences. Sometimes objects would float towards her for reason she couldn't explain. The most extreme case was when she was eight and caused a vase to explode during a particularly stressful evening. Almost immediately, her father took her to the hospital to give her a CT scan. He spent nearly two weeks trying to figure out what was happening with Lorna and why these abilities were manifesting. While he looked over scans, her mother asked Lorna questions about what she was feeling when these outburst occurred.
When Lorna was eleven, a staff member from Hogwarts appeared at her house and gave her an acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At first, Lorna's parents couldn't believe in the existence of magic. After all, both were heavily studied in science and mathematics. The possibility of something as whimsical as magic was nonexistent to them. But as the Clarkes were taken through Diagon Alley to get supplies for Hogwarts, the two Doctors slowly began to believe in the existence of magic and began to accept that their daughter was a witch. It didn't stop them from want a scientific explanation for magic, though. Finding out how magic worked began her parent's new, secret side project that they swore only to share with the Ministry of Magic.
When the time came for Lorna's sorting, the sorting hat put her in Hufflepuff. This surprised her, as everyone she had talked to on the train told her that she would definitely be a Ravenclaw. The first time she saw a Quidditch match, she fell in love with the sport and decided that she would try out for the team in her second year. Granted, during her second and third year she didn't make the team. She finally got in during her fourth year. Now as a fifth year, she hopes to be a doctor at St. Mungos, hopefully doing something with healing the mind from magical and emotional trauma.
