YVONNE SAVANNAH WHITBY ▪ TWENTY ONE ▪ RESISTANCE ▪ JOURNALIST

FIRST OFF, WE HAVE THE BASICS. THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF MISS WHITBY.
OR THE LEGOS, SINCE LEGOS ARE MUCH COOLER.

"I'm the tomato in the fruit basket of society. Why? Because I'm just not right. Once, when I was seven, our next door neighbor yelled at me to get off his lawn which made me mad, so I snuck over while he was out of the house and licked all of his silverware and then put them back. He never caught on, and I giggled for weeks. See? I'm just not right."

Yvonne, occasionally called Vonne, Vonnie, Yve (pronounced as Eve), or Whit, is quite the character. She'll attest to that herself. While she looks rather average and one wouldn't really expect her to be the sort of person who licks spoons out of vengeance, that's exactly what she does. Not did, does. She won't admit it, but she did the same thing to her Arithmancy Professor. There is something very childish about this girl, but not in a temper-tantrum sort of way. It's not really an innocence, either. It's just... well, it's just Yvonne.

"So there I was, ten years old (three years after the silverware incident if you are paying attention), and my mum decides it would be great fun for me to attend a little tea party birthday shindig. Now, at this point, I was determined that if I tried hard enough, I could turn myself into a boy. I hated being a girl. Who wanted to wear dresses and play with dolls when there were mud puddles to jump in and baseball caps to don? Hnh. Not me. Sitting there in that frilly, pink disaster of an outfit, I had an "eureka" moment. I was stuck being a girl. One day, I was going to grow breasts. One day, boys were going to be attracted to me and my erogenous zones. I was gonna have to just deal with it. I was devastated."

When you ask a child what they want to be when they grow up, most won't say they would like to be opposite gender. Yvonne did. Her third grade teacher was not impressed. As she got older, however, she learned to "deal with" her femininity. In her third year at Hogwarts, when she became a teenager, a flip somewhere inside her switched. Not that she was suddenly giggling madly or thinking about boys and having a million crushes at once. No, that wasn't the case. Instead, she started to see the fun in dressing up now and then. And hey, who would have thought that wearing some make-up could make her look a little less disheveled? She still loved to be outside, adored playing Quidditch, and still had a mean right hook, but she could turn around a rock a little black dress right after.

"Once I got passed the whole 'sex change' thing, I started to seriously think about what I wanted to be when I 'grew up'. A dinosaur was out the window. I mean, I had to be practical. Maybe I'm just an overachiever and all that, but in my fourth year, I was seriously starting to panic because I had no idea what I wanted to do. I'd sit down at the end of the day and write about everything and how scared I was that I was going to be a hobo (and then have a list on the side at how cool being a hobo might be...) and then it hit me. Why don't I just write? I was good at it. I loved it. So why the hell not?"

Currently, Yvonne is a journalist for the Daily Prophet. She still writes her own little things on the side, such as short stories and is even working on a novel, but she's never had them published. She views writing as an escape from reality, even if her job is to write about current political affairs and events. Boring at times, yes, but she has a sense of duty that goes along with it. She believes it is her job to get the truth and get it out to the general public. She thoroughly enjoys the investigative part of her job. The interviewing process is very fun, in her opinion, and she's quite good at it. Perhaps it is her relaxing and warm demeanor that makes people feel comfortable opening up to her and answering her questions... or it could be the fact that she isn't a malicious writer. Unless you seriously piss her off. She's not looking to make anyone's life miserable by publishing all their dirty little secrets... unless they seriously piss her off. Yes, she has done it before, only once, and only when that whore deserved it.

"So, technically, I'm 3/4-blood. Normally, I'd just say half, but apparently that little quarter counts. Makes me a teensy bit more important than the halfbloods. You know, because blood type decides how awesome you are. Psh. That's only if you were born a ninja. Which I wasn't. Of course, if I was, than I wouldn't admit it. So maybe I am? You'll never know. But you will be sleeping with one eye open now, am I right? Yes? Oh... no? Well. You should. You never know who is a ninja and when they might attack. Sorry, am I getting off the subject?"

Whit is a member of the Resistance. Proudly. Her pureblood father married a halfblood witch and known muggle supporter, which he became as well. She was raised with both wizard and muggle influences. She will, from time to time, make references to Star Trek or something called a Disney film. If you get them, she will probably love you. She's not ashamed of her family and their decisions, and has openly spoken about her views on the matter. She's labeled a Blood Traitor, but really, she doesn't mind all too much.

HERE ARE SOME LITTLE DETAILS AND SOME THINGS YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW.

FORMER HOUSE: "Gryffindor! That's me."
FAVORITE COLOR: "Orange. It's so happy and bright and usually sticks out."
FAVORITE SMELL: "Men's cologne. Ugh. If a guy walks past me and is wearing just the right amount, I will want to get to know him. In the biblical sense, of course. -wink-"
FAVORITE NUMBER: "42. The answer to life, the universe, and everything."
PIRATES OR NINJAS?: "Ooh. Tough one. Well, I'm going to go with pirates. They get to pillage. And say ARRGH. [she curves her finger into a hook as she says this]"
FAVORITE SEASON: "Winter. There's just something so cozy about it."
FAVORITE TRAIT IN OPPOSITE GENDER: "A sense of humor. And a great smile."
GET MAD OR GET EVEN?: "Get even, definitely. Did you not remember my silverware thing?"
LEAST FAVORITE THING: "Paper cuts. Worst. Things. Ever."
THING ONE OR THING TWO?: "Thing Two. He's been second his whole life. I feel for the little guy."
CHILDHOOD HERO: "Captain James T. Kirk. What? You haven't heard of him? I'm sorry. You're missing out."

WOULD YOU RATHER...
If it is underlined, that is the one she picks.

Lose your legs or lose your arms?
Have three eyes or webbed feet?
End hatred or hunger?
Wake up naked in the North Pole or in the desert with multiple layers of clothing that you can't remove?
Be smarter than all your friends or prettier than all your friends?
Swallow a cup of chalk dust or eat a roll of aluminum foil?
Be able to sing or dance?
Always lose or never play?
Be a mermaid or an alien?
Be the sand castle or the wave?


DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN TEN WORDS.

"Only ten? Wait, do those count? They do? Why? That's-"

Since she just failed at that, I shall answer for you.
LAID BACK, FRIENDLY, UNIQUE, ARTISTIC, PASSIONATE, CURIOUS, IMPULSIVE, COMPETITIVE, STUBBORN, and ADROIT.

WHO IS IN YOUR FAMILY?

KEVIN WHIBTY - "My father. He's pretty cool. We get along good. He's sarcastic, like me. We get into witty arguments often, too, because we both like to argue for the sake of arguing over little things. But I love him to death and am very proud to call him my dad. He's my hero for just being able to turn away from his pureblood family in order to marry my mum."

ROSE WHITBY - "Mum is a saint. At least, that's what you think at first. She's all sweet and kind and motherly, and then she'll spray you with a hose while your back is turned. So she's a lot more fun than a saint. You wonder where I got my vindictive mischievous streak? Right there, ladies and gents."

TROY WHITBY - "T-ROY [said in what she believes to be a 'gangsta' voice, complete with a pose] . I'm sorry. I need to stop doing that. I don't think he appreciates it. He loves me, though. He sort of has to. I made him sign a contract when he learned to write his name. He still has no idea."
