Approved in the interim by Bellatrix

Name: Marinka Zytka
Age: 16
Year: 6th
House: Gryffindor
Personality: Obstinate, wary, determined, arrogant, focussed, slightly twisted sense of humour, loyal to a select group, violent.
Appearance: Don't be deceived by her slightly shorter than average stature and delicate facial features: Marinka is physically powerful and trained in how to use her size to her advantage in staff fighting. This translates to significant skill with a Beater bat on the Quidditch field, and a compact and strong physical frame. Of course, all the muscle saps fatty tissue away from her curves, but she considers that a fair enough trade. Her light brown hair falls to her lower back when loose, but she routinely braids it with a Russian spell learned from her mother into a crown, keeping it out of the way and out of easy reach of grasping hands in a fight. Her eyes are a cloudy blue that could be grey or green in different lights.

History: From a prestigious grey/neutral Pureblood family from Russia whose sons had the choice of Durmstrang or Hogwarts, and whose daughters had the choice of Beauxbatons or Hogwarts, Marinka from very early on decided she didn't want to be the kind of lady the French school turned out and was enrolled in Hogwarts. Her two older brothers both decided to attend Durmstrang.
