Name: Janis Holloway
Nicknames: Joplin (usually by the older generation who were a fan of her work & think they're hilariously funny), 'My little dilemma' by her mother in reference to what her Grandmother used to call her mums pregnancy.
Blood: Half blood
Age: 15
Year: 5th Year
Appearance: Much like her mother, Janis is tall & thin with a boyish figure, her hair a slightly darker dirty blonde than that of her mother. Her eyes are pretty much the only link she has to her father, a light ice blue but large in size much like her mothers and she has a scattering of freckles over the bridge of her nose & dotted randomly around her pale skinned body.
Again like her mother she likes to dress for comfort, not style and can often be found wearing an old cardigan and flared jeans, looking like something straight from the 70s but hey, at least she's comfortable.
Personality: Not as stubborn as her mother, Janis doesnt mind having to ask for help if she needs it, often going behind her mums back and asking for favours when Chastity is too proud to do so. Doesnt mind standing up for what she believes in, having been told by her mother that if she wants something she'd best get it herself because no one else will get it for her.
Having never known her father, Janis often feels like she has missed out on something wonderful and loves to spend time with people who live what she likes to call "a normal life", the boring and mundane are exactly Janis' cup of tea.
Background: Born on the 19th of November 1994, and named Janis after Janis Joplin, a name that her mother had chosen because she was a fan of the music and because it was a name that would piss off grandma. The name was nothing compared to the ultimate horror of her being an illegitimate child, born out of wedlock to an unknown father...what would the neighbours say?!
Growing up, Janis spent most of her childhood with her Aunt Marilyn & Uncle Simon whilst Chastity went out to work everyday to earn back the money she'd wasted travelling & 'finding herself' amongst other things. Janis didnt mind at all because Marilyn & Simon were exactly what she craved in life, they were the normal family that she never got to experience first hand.
Whilst she liked her Aunt Marilyn well enough, it was Simon that Janis always spent her time with, he paid for her music lessons and taught her all about the muggle 'toys' that Marilyn introduced to him and Janis looks upon him as the closest thing to a father figure she'll ever experience.
Living in a cramped 2 bedroomed flat with just her mother, Janis was lucky to grow up with no rules being forced upon her & a very supportive parent. Though the lack of rules and thus lack of need for rebellion has made Janis the boring being she has become.
Characteristics: Quiet at times but in no way timid, Janis will speak her mind if need be and wont lie down and take crap from anyone...except maybe her mum.
Enjoys hearing people talking about their 'normal' lives but tends to feel a sort of resentment for people who 'hate' their Dad, thinking they should count themselves lucky that theirs wanted to stick around.
Other:
- Loves animals of any kind, her favourite class is Care of Magical Creatures & she hopes to pursue a career relating to it.
- Has a small brown owl named Bernard
- Whilst at Hogwarts, will write to her Uncle Simon every week no matter if she has nothing of importance to tell him.
- Will attend any party she is invited to but tends to sit chatting & smoking rather than actually dancing or drinking.
-Her mum doesnt know she smokes, this is Janis' one rebellion and though she knows her mother would be fine with it, she keeps it a secret so she can feel like a 'normal' teenager
