Name: Professor Holly St.James
Age: 60
Gender: Female
Apperance: Holly is a rather skinny older woman. Her white hair is always fixed up, and usually has a slight wave to it. The old woman's features, though old, have not hardened any from her days at Hogwarts. She still has the same high cheek bones, and smooth skin that she did fifty years ago. No matter what color or style robes she is wearing, an apron is covering it. It has become a part of her regular attire. Whether she be in class with a dirty apron, or at a ball with a snow-white apron, she always has it on.
Personality: Professor St.James is like a grandmother to everybody. She always has a smile on, and some sort of candy waiting in her apron's pocket for a student. When she sees a student who is downladen, she will take it upon herself to comfort the poor child, and try to cheer them up. She is almost always successfull in that feat.
Blood: Pure
Birth place: Cantebury, England
Residence: Oxford, England
Personal History: Holly was born into an upper class wizarding family. At an early age, she was used to attending balls, and wearing dresses. Despite her parent's wealth, she never let the fact that she was pureblooded and rich get to her head. When she was ten, her letter of acceptance arrived, and she and her mum went shopping. When Holly sat infront of the school with the Sorting Hat on, it bellowed out, "Hufflepuff", much to her delight.
While attending Hogwarts, she was fabulous in the department of Herbology, and often knew more than the teacher, himself. She only had one love during her years at Hogwarts, and would go on to marry Marcus St.James.
After graduating Hogwarts, she traveled the world, enrichening her already gigantic knowledge of herbs and plants. When the time arose, she was persuaded back to Hogwarts to take the postion of Herbology Mistress.
Likes: Holly loves a good glass of wine, a warm evening in her office, and a night of Chamber Music. Though she finds no better enjoyment than in the gardens, getting her hands dirty with soil and manure.
Dislikes: Professor St.James dislikes sad things. If somebody is taking down to another in her classroom, she will immediatly take action and boot the oppressor out, if they refuse to lighten up.
Quirks: She has an immense skill in Herbology and is able to make things grow with the snap of a finger. She is also a registered Healer.
Counter Quirks: She has never really gotten along with Slytherins very well. She can tolerate them, and even get along with a few, but it's a hard thing.
