Personality: First thing you learn about Sholpan is that she is very excited to beat you in an activity of her choosing. You are good at quidditch? Well, she knows more pro-players than you do. You are a pro at charms? Ha, she knows more spells than you (even if she can’t really conjure them). Competition and being better than others is at the core of her character. Even though this makes her look cocky in the eyes of a new person, anyone who can say ‘yeah, you are better’ can become her friend and learn that not only she is loyal to people she cares about, but that she will do ANYTHING to help.

Sholpan loves being the center of the conversation and will be always ready to tell you about the new things she learned the other day. And once she is done with it, she will tell you about her awesome friends, who are cooler than yours. And after that you can interest her with a conversation about cute frogs, rad spells and new fasionable ways of combining Hogwarts uniform. Despite this loud social life, she enjoys quiet time with a book, so she can be often found in the library on the weekends.

Sholpan always has strong opinions on things and prefers to not participate in a conversation if she doesn’t know enough about the topic. If she is calling something ‘stupid’ or ‘boring’ means she just doesn’t have the wits to learn enough on the topic (but don’t you dare point it out, she will transfigure your pants into lacy tights).

Sholpan is often known as an “exemplary student” to teachers and head girls and boys, as she always behaves well when she knows she is being watched. You should be careful doing anything not-by-the-rules with her, because even if she seemingly approves, she will tell on you if it would threaten her image. 

Sholpan has big ambitions in life. Her greatest dream is to become someone who is well-known in the wizarding world and is respected. For now all she knows is besting everyone to leave a mark in their life, a bit childish yes, but she is so young. Outside of this "social life" Sholpan works on another future investment - studying. She always makes sure to try and learn things that are outside school program and outside her comfort zone. Stockpiling knowledge may be something she got from her Ravenclaw dad, but she never studies for the sake of studying. She does so to USE this knowledge later. Be careful with opinions you share around her - she WILL remember them. And maybe after you both graduate and start leading your life in the adult world - she WILL use this against you. Or in your favour if you happen to become her friend!

[ Competitive | Erudite | Arrogant | Cheerful | Chatty | Ambitious | Boastful | Confident | Loyal to friends | Rule following ]

Likes:  
- Being better than the next person
- Being praised by the teachers (better if happens in front of the whole class)
- Meat pies 
(especially mutton!)
- Numbers as in dates, quantities and amounts… She just likes remembering random numbers!
- Frogs and salamanders

Dislikes: 
- Anyone who has a nerve to better her in her favourite subjects/activities
- Ravenclaw students
- Any physical pain, even a little paper cut can throw her into a hysterical fit
- Bullies. Pranks are okay, but systematical teasing and bullying of anyone (even Ravenclaw students) will get you on her bad list
- Being proven wrong. She will never admit she was mistaken on something and will get loud and angry and probably walk out of the conversation, making sure you feel like an idiot. Or so she thinks.


Family: 

Aigul Bolat | Mother | Muggle | 42 | Literature translator

Ethan Bradshaw | Father | Pureblood | 49 | Wandmaker | Ravenclaw

Anthony (Anton) Bradshaw | Brother | 19 | Ministry of Magic attaché in training | Ravenclaw

History: 

Aigul Bolat came to the UK from Kazakhstan to study and was lucky enough to meet, fall in love and then marry Ethan Bradshaw to become a legal citizen in the country. But of course it was more than just the UK she moved to – it was British magic community. Absolutely fascinated by the wizarding world, Aigul lived in a dream. A few years later she gave birth to a healthy baby, and Anton was growing into a nice boy, who showed magic signs right away. But sadly not everything was smooth between Aigul and Ethan.

Aigul was 6 months into her second pregnancy when she demanded a divorce. Feeling free from the influence of her ex-husband, she gave her daughter a Kazakh name and her surname, instead of the one of her father. And even though it was tough, Aigul was able to settle in the muggle world, find a job and raise her kids without too much trouble. And when Anton and then Sholpan got their letters from Hogwarts, Ethan was more than enthusiastic to take them shopping and help them on the Hogwarts Express.

When Sholpan started her First year at the school she was only recognized as the younger sister of amazing Anthony Bradshaw, even though they didn’t share surnames. It was one of the reasons why Sholpan was very glad she was sorted into a different house. And there she started her journey to better her brother. In the first year she got more points for Slytherin, than Anthony got for Ravenclaw. In her second year she made much better banners for the Slytherin quidditch team, than her brother did for his team. In her third year she took more electives and finished most of them better, than he did in his 3rd year. In the fourth year she was the best in both Arithmancy and Transfiguration exams, while her brother was only best at Charms in the same year.

Now entering the Fifth year – the year of OWLs – Sholpan has to face her greatest challenge yet. Her brother got 4 Outstanding OWLs, meaning she has to get 5. And while she is more than confident with Transfiguration, Arithmancy, Defense Against Dark Arts and History of Magic, she is not really that good at anything else. But she is confident she can raise her knowledge of Potions, Study of Ancient Runes or Care of Magical Creatures in time for the exam. Maybe she would even have to (Merlin’s beard!) ask for help from the students who are better at these classes.

It's not like she hates her brother, on the contrary! He is always Sholpan’s main source of a good advice. He also often sends her cookies and candy. She just loves the idea of being better than him, despite being younger. He finds her obsession with this “contest” kinda cute.

The only downside of the starting year was her loosing Three, the frog she had for the last several years. It happened so recently, she didn’t recover yet to get a new pet.


Fun facts (more like little trivia):
- Sholpan, just as her brother, are on fairly good terms with her father. He was the one who made her wand, and they exchange letters regularly.

- Sholpan is very unsure of what she wants to do in the future. To better her brother, she would have to become someone really important in the Ministry, but… she really doesn’t want to work in the Ministry…

- Sholpan loves to prank people she has beef with (mostly Ravenclaw students, those smartasses) by transfiguring their objects into other casual objects (like turning a quill into a scroll and snicker as the owner tries to find it, while it’s under their nose all this time).

- Sholpan doesn’t really know what brought her parents apart, but with the time spent with her father she has a theory, that it was his fault. He never likes talking about muggles or muggle world, and thinks they are a bit of lesser humans. When Sholpan once asked him, why he married her mom then, he answered “She seemed different, special…” and went silent. He wasn’t in a very good mood after that, so Sholpan didn’t bother bringing the topic up again.

RP Methods: I prefer paragraph rping through notes, skype or google docs. I can guarantee two replies a day or more (if we happen to match the online time when I am off work). I am not really a chatroom person, because I don’t have that much free time to spend it there. Anyways, feel free to ask and we’ll find a working way to RP c:
