Name: Dawn Bedizen Binns
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Birthday/Sign: September 9th, 1966 / Virgo
Blood Type/Purity: Half.
Appearance:
Dawn has blonde hair that she neatly brushes everyday. At the end of each strand of hair it curls up and Dawn never seems to brush it down. She has dazzling brown eyes. She wears no glasses. She is not fat and yet she is not stick thin. Her figure is well built and health. She always wears old fashioned clothes to remember what the people in the olden days had to go through, yet she likes wearing it anyway. She wears a light brown shirt with a brown corset on top. She also wears a ankle high dress that matches her shirt.
Personality: Dawn has an extremely warm personality. She shall smile on always. They once had a competition in the Institute to see who could catch her unhappy. Everyone failed. Dawn has a tendency to wave at people who have just entered the room even if she's monitoring detention.
She's a bit gone in the head. Her head stays firmly in the clouds. She is always nice with people but when alone she starts screaming at herself. She clenches her fists and shouts through a crooked smile. There was one time when she nearly hit a child in detention. Lucky she got no where near him as he was messing around with shielding spells.
She has been having sessions with her husband, he is a doctor, to help her 'illness' if you wish. They are progressing, slowly.
History: Dawn was born in London at her uncle's house. Bedizen was his name. The Last Magical History Professor at SWIM. Her mother left after Dawn was only 3. Her mother Adelaide and her father, Gregory, her uncle's brother, left for an adventure. Dawn is related to the ghost at Hogwarts, Professor Binns. She has the same name because of the fact that the Binns family have not had many women in the family but her father was a Binns meaning she is one too. The life of Binns' was boring. It ran in the blood line. Her parents left for the jungle where they were killed. Her uncle was her mentor.
When came the day when Binns left to look for her parents as they had left 11 years ago, Dawn was given to a orphanage. This is when she snapped and a part of her brain seemed to disappear and she became utterly joyful. You may think it's a good thing but she often has strange outbursts of rage. Like smashing a glass in her hand. But while these out bursts happened she would smile but rather crooked.
When she was sent to the magical orphanage named Peleley's Orphanage for Lost or Homeless Magical Children. POLHM. She was about 11. At this time her uncle had already taught her much about the History of Magic. She was mostly interested in the Witch Trials.
She attended Beauxbaton and this didn't help with her mental problem either. Most people at Beauxbaton are extremely nice, she fitted in perfectly. She stayed in the orphanage when she wasn't in Beauxbaton. She stayed there until she was 18. She gained much respect from the other children in the home. Mostly because she would do their chores if they asked nicely.
When she left she went on a search for her uncle. Her uncle told her of a school where he worked but never the name. Dawn found herself at a Dock. She was extremely tired. She began asking round for a magical school. An old woman took her to a side and told her of a magical school. Dawn took what the woman said wrongly. She presumed that the old woman meant thats were her uncle was. But he wasn't. Dawn went on a ferry as the old woman pointed out. Once aboard Dawn fell asleep for ages. She was awoken by a ship hand. When they arrived in America she began looking for the school.
By the time she found it she was 22. In those 4 years she worked at a local shop. She had a regular visitor. Her future husband. He worked in the local Hospital. She was a patient there a couple times when her out-bursts got serious and she punch through a window and her arm was covered in glass and blood. Later when she found the school the previous Dean was interested in her knowledge of the History of Magic and offered her a job there. She never did find her uncle so...
She obviously took the job. There was nothing left for her in the local shop. Her husband lives in a small cottage next to the school.
On the day of the attack Binns was walking down the corridor of the school when one of the men walked right in front of her. She tried her best to stop him. She took out her wand and began to say a incantation. She stumbled a bit but eventually said 'Incendio'. Nothing happened for a while. The man began to laugh only to realize 10 seconds later that the corner of his robe was on fire. He quickly put it out then sent Dawn flying into the Alchemy Store Cupboard. She woke up 10 minutes later and the hall monitors were missing.
She continues to teach. She has taught for 10 years now.
Likes: Smiles, happy students, magic, history, her uncle.
Dislikes: Unhappy people, evil, a question she can't answer.
Special Abilities: Her knowledge of History. Her ability to only show one emotion around people but she can crack.
Wand: She has a Willow one, dragon heartstring core, she rarely uses it, the spells she uses she does wandless though she nearly never gets a spell completely right.
Broom: None.
Pet: Cat. Named Harpy.
Class Taught: Magical History.
Special Titles: None. Though her students call her Dust woman, notice the name.
Years Teaching: (Sorry i mistook the question i thought you meant which years do i teach) 10
Reason for Teaching: To follow in her uncles footsteps.
Word Verification: Spork
Writing Sample:
After an exceptionally delicious meal at break Dawn made her way to her classroom, smiling at the various students as they passed. She opened the door and walked to her desk. She stroked her hair then picked up a quill and parchment. It said her next class was Freshman. Excellent![i/] she thought. Fresh minds to mold!, Oh! Fresh as in freshman! Dawn giggled to herself. She had quite a terrible sense of humor. Everything slightly funny was like a hilarity to her.
After noting a few things on the parchment she put them down and picked up a piece of chalk. She wrote on the blackboard.
What exactly is Magical History?
And underlined it a few times. Then wrote a list of things underneath inclueding:
The Witch Trials
The Beginning of the School and Magical Education
The Beginning of the Ministry etc...
Then sat back down and awaited her class.
