Detailed Apperance:
Patricia is a woman whose appearance can be deceiving most of the time. At first glance, many assume that she is one of those stuck-up rich people with a name like Elizabeth or Mary, a name that might be considered rich or elegant or royalty. The woman's appearance is stunning to say the least, Many women envy her for her physical characteristics, but her physical appearance definitely does not define who she is as a person. In all actuality, she is almost entirely opposite of how she dresses at times. Not many take time to stop and get to know her, though, because of her appearance. So why do people think she is just another stuck-up rich person? Well, let me start with the basics.
Strawberry blonde waves of hair cover the woman's head and hang down loosely at the sides of her face. Her hair falls over her shoulders and down her back. The reddish locks of hair has a natural wave to it, but not overly so. Her hair is silky and smooth, especially after it is washed, and it very rarely gets oily. She takes very good care of her hair and makes sure that it is healthy and strong.
When she gets her hair cut, she very rarely gets more than an inch or two cut off, just enough to get rid of split ends. She hates having short hair and refuses to be seen with short hair. The likes having long hair that her children can grab playfully, that her husband can run his hands through lovingly, and that she can style elegantly when the time comes for it. When it comes time to style her hair, she does not generally do anything overly done. She likes wearing her hair down or back in sloppy ponytails and buns; occasionally she will wear buns and other simple styles.
The second basic part of her appearance that makes women envy her is her eyes. She has intriguing icy blue eyes, the color of the sky. Her eyes are not an unnatural color, but the color is not as common as a dark blue may seem. Her eyes are naturally inviting and friendly, and they are bright with happiness and joy. She never seems to be upset. When she is upset, you will know. Her eyes will not have their usual sparkle and shine that they generally have. Her eyes hide most of her emotions, if not all of them. Many say that her eyes are like translucent glass, and hidden behind that glass is everything she is feeling or thinking.
Another thing that many women envy about Patricia is the fact that she has such fair, snowy white skin. Her skin is extremely pale, ghostly white. While the white coloring does not look good on some women, her skin looks nice with the rest of her overall appearance. Scattered across her nose and on her cheeks are lightly colored freckles that are barely visible unless you are standing close to her and looking directly in her face. Her face is the only place that has freckles, and they are the very small amount of color to her skin. When she goes out into the sun, she does not tan easily. Her skin merely burns, which means that she turns red when she goes outside. For that reason, she wears a lot of sunscreen and other protective wear to make sure that she does not get burned, which can lead to skin cancer.
Patricia is not tall, but she is not thin, either. She stands at a medium average height of 5'4". No one would suspect that she had five children. Her body is amazing thin. Though she is not really tall, her long, slender legs makes her look taller than she actually is. They also make her look thinner as well. As far as curves go, Patricia does not have many. Her chest is not very large at all and is only visible when she wears formfitting shirts. Her hips are not easily visible unless she wears a formfitting skirt or a nice set of pants that shapes her lower body nicely. It is obvious that her legs, calves in particular, are strong. She exercises a lot and keeps her body in good shape.
As for her clothes, Patricia tends to wear whatever she pulls from her drawers or her closet. She does not usually wear things that look trashy, but she does not wear things that are too stylish for her. She tries to keep up with times and wear what the kids wear, but she tries to stay within her age range as well. She particularly likes wearing blue jeans and formfitting shirts with a pair of flats, but she will wear casual attire and heels if necessary. Those are her daytime clothes. When it comes time to get out and go places, she wears whatever is comfortable and whatever she thinks will be best for the day ahead of her.
What woman doesn’t like silver and gold? What woman doesn't like jewelry? Patricia doesn't try to overdress herself in all the shiny things that women like, but she is not too shy about it. She will wear earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, rings, and toe rings. She likes all sorts of jewelry. The only jewelry that she wears is the jewelry that her parents or husband give her. If her children make her jewelry out of beads, she will also wear that on occasion. None of her jewelry (unless it's made by her kids) is fake. So it's obvious that she's got a decent amount of money, or at least her husband does.
On her left wrist, she has a small star tattoo. It is not always visible unless someone is directly looking at her wrist or catches a glance of it. On her right foot, she has three small hearts in a line going down her foot.
Let that P E S R O N A L I T Y shine
Patronus:
Orange Tabby Cat. Cats are said to be curious, ambitious, and cute. In a way, Patricia is like her cat. She tends to be curious about many things, ambitious when it comes to learning new things, and she has her moments of cuteness. The reason the cat is orange is because, well, her hair is strawberry blonde, so it looks orange.
Boggart:
Patricia is the adventurous type, so not much really scares her. Her biggest fear, though, would probably have to be things like werewolves and vampires. She has a fear for both of them. It was a fear that she developed as a child when she learned about them in school, and it just seems to have stuck with her for a long time.
Erised:
It has always been a dream of Patricia's to someday work in the Ministry of Magic in a high position. She doesn't want to work as the Mistress of Magic or even one of the undersecretaries, but she just wants a high position, maybe the head of a department. She has great leadership skills and is not afraid to use them when necessary. She feels like she would be an asset to the Ministry of Magic and the department she works for. Now the question is: What department will she work for?
Amortentia: Fresh air, salt water, freshly cut grass, baby powder, bananas
Detailed Personality:
When people first come in contact with Patricia, they automatically assume that she is just another one of the snobby purebloods who thinks only of herself. They think that she is prejudice against the half-bloods and muggleborns and that she has no consideration for those around her. Of course, appearance can be deceiving, and this is true in the case of Patricia Cossack.
Patricia is very friendly and open about most things. She enjoys coming in contact with new people and really getting to meet and know them. She enjoys making friends and spending time with people. She is what many consider to be a social butterfly, always wanting to get into everyone else's business. She is nosey at times, but she is not too nosey to the point where you avoid talking around her. She'll jump into conversations and ask broad questions, allowing people to answer those questions in any way that they want to, adding as little or as much detail as they want.
She has never been the great conversationalist. Sure, she can hold a conversation and she can talk for hours on end, but she cannot easily start conversations. She has a lot to talk about, but she is scared to really bring up things in conversation in fear that someone may not be interested. She likes to let other people start the conversations, and she just continues them and adds onto them. She finds that that is easier than actually trying to make sure a conversation suits everyone's personal interests.
Patricia has always been an optimist. She sees the glass as half full rather than half empty. She tries to look on the bright side of things and feels that there is always something better to come, even when no one else seems to believe her. She tries to make people see that things aren't always as bad as they seem.
The woman is very energetic and playful. She enjoys being outside in the open and likes being able to feel free. She loves feeling the sun on her face and the wind in her hair; it makes her feel happy and just energetic. She exercises a lot outside when it's warm and sunny, and sometimes when it is cold as long as it's not raining. When it rains, she can also be found outside playing in the rain. In some ways she seems very childish for her age.
Despite the childishness she tends to display, Patricia is a very wife and intelligent woman, sometimes too wise for her age. She is also very motherly, having given life to five children in her thirty-four years. She tends to display her mother-like nature to any and all of those around her, and she is not afraid to talk about embarrassing moments that happened to her children. She loves having that right and privilege to talk about her children in a playful manner. It always makes her smile.
Unlike many redheads, Patricia does not really have an attitude. It takes a lot to make her mad. When she gets mad, she is not really mad at all. Her anger and temper is weird, so it's hard to really tell when she is really upset or when she is just in one of her mellow moods. She tends to have a neutral sort of attitude when she's "mad." The only way to tell when she's not in a good mood is if she is lacking a smile on her face and light in her eyes.
Mommy dearest, can I see the P I C T U R E again?

Detailed History:
April 28, 7:18am. Marshall and Carolyn Graham, along with their six children, happily welcomed a baby girl with blonde hair and bright blue eyes. The parents named their newborn baby girl after the child's paternal grandmother: Patricia Marie.
Patricia was born into a long family line of pureblood witches and wizards. Her parents were both somewhat powerful people in the wizarding world. Her father was an official in the Department of International Magical Cooperation, and her mother was one of the head healers at St. Mungo's. Her parents had also been raised in families with a lot of money, but both of her parents had been only children. That was why they had seven children. Having seven children meant that they needed good jobs. (They had good jobs before their children were born, though.)
Because both of her parents worked a lot of hours, Patricia and her older siblings were left with the live-in nanny who helped take care of the children while their parents were gone since they were not in school. After the children started to go off to school, it became easier for the nanny to help care of the children. The family, especially the children, was close. The children got along well with their parents; they got along even better with the nanny.
Patricia was not exactly like the rest of their family. None of them were stuck up or snobbish, but they did like to do things that even high-class Muggle people liked to do, like have noontime tea or have expensive dinners. Patricia was a tomboy and disliked being stuck inside all the time. She did not like being forced to play with dolls or act like a proper little girl. She liked animals and liked being outside with nature. She hated being cooped up all the time, especially when her siblings did not generally want to play with her or when they were off at school. Oftentimes the nanny would let her go outside in play clothes and not tell her mother. The nanny had eventually accepted the fact that Patricia was different and always would be.
By the time she was eleven, Patricia and her family already knew that she would not be like the rest of her family. Her family had been sorted into either Gryffindor or Ravenclaw; no one in the history of the family had been sorted into anything else. When she got to Hogwarts, she was sorted into Hufflepuff. It was completely beyond her and her family how that had happened, but it did. Apparently the hat thought her cute and sweet, quiet and friendly, hard-working and not easily angered. And that was exactly what she was.
During her years at school, Patricia was a mixture of almost all the houses. She had tendencies of each house and displayed her tendencies often. She liked to adventure, sneak out late, break a few rules; she liked to study, read books, and talk to teachers. She wasn't one of the usual students that was stereotypical and stuck to one thing; she liked to be a part of everything. And that she definitely was.
Upon graduating from school, Patricia received a fairly decent sum of money from her parents. Her parents said they would pay for her education if she decided to further it, but they also said that this money was her gift for making it through Hogwarts. Instead of going off to school right away, Patricia decided to travel. She had always wanted to travel and work with people from around the world, researching and discovering things, like animals and various artifacts. She loved to learn and explore, and doing both at the same time was even better.
She had no particular place in mind; she just wanted to travel. She went to places like Romania, Italy, China, Africa, and the United States. She traveled and met a lot of people during her first year out of school. She met a man by the name of Daniel Cossack; he had been one of the teams she worked with. He was seven years older than her, highly intelligent, and a pureblood - not like any of that matter.
The two had only known each other for a few weeks before they started dating. After a few months of dating, the two were married in a small church in the United States. The two of them traveled around the United States together. It was during that year that they found Patricia was pregnant with their first child. But that did not stop them from traveling.
Two more children followed only a few years after the first. They had still be traveling but found that it was unhealthy for the children. They eventually settled down in a decently sized London home with their three children. It was during that time Patricia had decided to go back to school so that she could find herself a good job that paid a decent amount of money. Daniel continued to work, and the couple hired a babysitter to watch their children while Daniel worked and Patricia was in school.
While she was in school, Patricia had gotten pregnant with a baby, what was supposed to be a little girl. The entire pregnancy had been somewhat complicated, and she was facing many problems that she could not explain. She did everything she could and remained healthy, but it seemed like things continued to get worse and worse. She lost the baby between her sixth and seventh months of pregnancy. She was devastated but returned to school once she was better after the loss of her child.
Four years after she had started her schooling, she graduated. She had gone to school for nothing in particular, just to study further into magical creatures and magical charms. She had taken a few business classes and teaching classes as well, something to help her get a well-rounded education. When she went out in search of a job, she found that there were only a few available positions. The ministry positions she had looked at were too strenuous; she didn't want to work so much and have no time to spend with her kids. The only other place where she could work was Hogwarts, as Care of Magical Creatures professor. She took the job a bit hesitantly, and it was then that she and her family moved to Hogsmeade. They were close to the school, and Patricia could come home each evening and spend time with her children.
She started teaching about a year after she graduated from school. She taught Care of Magical Creatures, and it seemed like the students enjoyed her lessons as well as her company outside of lessons. About a year or two after she started teaching, she gave birth to twin girls. She stayed at home with them for about a month before hiring a sitter to watch them while she and Daniel worked.
Present. She has been working at Hogwarts for five years. She has five children, ranging in ages four to fourteen.
