Likes: Order, politics, doing good for the wizarding world, peace, justice, nice warm cups of tea, her family, reading, rainy days, and warm fires
Dislikes: Chaos, panic, when people try to get negative laws passed, discrimination, politics, being crossed, paperwork, and lawbreakers
Personality: Nikoleta is a very intelligent witch. She graduated top of her class at Hogwarts, after all. She values intelligence regardless of status... which has made her more than a few enemies. Nikoleta is a very diplomatic person and is a very good debater and public speaker. She has the innate ability to make people listen to her and tries to radiate authority. She needs too as the Minister of Magic. She is a very confident person, but that doesn't mean that she never doubts herself. She tries to make the best decisions she possibly can for English Wizardkind. She knows what times to be a kind, generous parent to the people and when she needs to be the stern, harsh parent. She doesn't tolerate any sort of messing about in the wizarding world and will do everything in her power to block any unfair and unjust laws. She will fight for what she believes in and will not relent unless someone gives her a good reason to believe otherwise. She is able to handle large amounts of stress and pressure well and is very good at handling nosy reporters from the Daily Prophet. At the end of the day, though, she just likes to sit down in front of a warm fire and read a good Jane Austen novel.

Character History:
Growing up, Nikoleta was held to the high expectations of the old, pureblooded Quincy family. Adrasteia and Icarius Quincy expected only the best from their four children. They expected each and every one of them to marry a rich pureblooded wizard... halfblood if they were truly in love or something. Well... Adrasteia did, at least. Icarius couldn't have cared less about who his children married. It was no secret to the four Quincy children that their parents didn't get along. This led to a division in feelings amongst the siblings. Euphraxia generally tended to agree more with their mother while Delphina, Nikoleta, and Theron tended to agree more with their father. The rift between the family would never go away in all of Nikoleta's 50 years.
Nikoleta was the third child of Icarius and Adrasteia Quincy. Her siblings Delphina and Euphraxia were 6 and 3 respectively. When Nikoleta was three years old, her little brother Theron was born. The next year is when she showed her first signs of magic. She brought a teddy-bear she loved to life. Icarius let young Nikoleta keep the living teddy bear, despite the protests of Adrasteia. When Nikoleta was five years old, Delphina began her schooling at Hogwarts. Nikoleta remembered hearing her mother tell Delphina that she was supposed to get into Slytherin before she left on the Hogwarts Express. Nikoleta also remembered the outburst from her mother when she received a letter from Delphina saying that she was sorted into Hufflepuff. Of course, Icarius couldn't have been more proud. Three years later, Euphraxia began Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin. This almost immediately made her Adrasteia's favored child.
Three years later, it was Nikoleta's turn to go to Hogwarts. Her mother scolded her about the importance of getting into Slytherin House. Her father told her to just relax and accept what placement she got; it didn't mean that he loved her any less. When she went up to the sorting hat, it placed her in Hufflepuff before it even touched her head. She wrote to her father about her placement and was welcomed into the house by Delphina, now a Prefect for Hufflepuff. Nikoleta worked as hard as she could to become the top of her class in order to make both of her parents proud. After all, every child wants to please their mother. Yet even though she got all O's on her first year exams, her mother couldn't get over the fact that Nikoleta was a Hufflepuff. Nikoleta continued to get top marks in all of her courses, making her father proud. By her third year, when Theron started his schooling and was sorted in Hufflepuff as well, Nikoleta had learned that she would never get her mother's approval.
For her third year electives, she chose to take Muggle Studies and Arithmancy. Her mother was absolutely livid that Nikoleta dared to take Muggle Studies. Thirteen-year-old Nikoleta stood up for herself and decided that her mother's opinions were bigoted and wrong. She vowed that she would aspire to be like her father... not her mother. Later that year, Icarius and Adrasteia separated. Adrasteia moved in with her parents. The four children were able to choose who they'd stay with for breaks. Theron, Nikoleta, and Delphina chose to stay with their father. Euphraxia chose to stay with her mother. Nikoleta has been estranged from her mother and sister ever since. Nikoleta put her mind towards her studies. She continued to get all O's on her assignments. In her 5th year, she was made a Prefect. Delphina, who had already been out of Hogwarts for four years, wrote to Nikoleta about how proud she was of her. That summer when she got her O.W.Ls, she got all Os. Nikoleta didn't think she would, but she once again pushed herself to her fullest potential. This was also when she decided she wanted to go into politics.
Nikoleta chose to study Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, History of Magic, Muggle Studies, and Transfiguration for her N.E.W.Ts. She did exceptionally well in her courses and managed to get Os in all of her N.E.W.T examinations. The year after she graduated Hogwarts, she began to work in the International Magical Office of Law. It was here that she met her future husband, the muggleborn Henry Pendleton. When they first met, Henry was twenty-five and Nikoleta was eighteen. The same year, her eldest sister Delphina married her longtime boyfriend James Morton. Nikoleta was the maid-of-honor for the ceremony. Two years later, Delphina's first child was born; a little girl they named Claire Nikoleta Morton. Nikoleta was made the Godmother. This was also the year Henry and Nikoleta finally started dating.
Euphraxia married a pureblooded man named Stephen Rose when Nikoleta was twenty-one. Nikoleta only found out about it from a co-worker who was the cousin of Stephen Rose. From what Nikoleta has heard, Euphraxia had three children named Lynette, Lucas, and Helena. Not one of them had any wish to interact with Nikoleta until she was the Minister for Magic. When Nikoleta was twenty six, Henry proposed to her. She of course said yes and they were married a year later. Delphina was the maid-of-honor for her wedding. Two years later, her first child was born. Henry and Nikoleta named their first daughter Miranda Delphina Pendleton. When Nikoleta was thirty-one, she was promoted to the Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation. Two years later, Nikoleta gave birth to twins; a boy and a girl. She named the girl Lydia Hera Pendleton and the boy Christopher Theron Pendleton. Six years later, Miranda started at Hogwarts and was sorted into Hufflepuff. Five years after that, when Nikoleta was forty-four, her twins began Hogwarts and were also sorted into Hufflepuff. When Nikoleta was forty-eight, she won the election for Minister of Magic. Nikoleta was forty-nine when her daughter Miranda married her longtime boyfriend Simon White. Now at age fifty, she is on her third year of her seven year term. She hopes that when her term is up, she will get re-elected as Minister of Magic.
