Appearance
{20 words minimum - Please include at least 1 physical weaknesses}

Savanah is a woman of tall stature. She stands at 5'11" and weighs 150 pounds. She can tend to be awkward in her height, tripping when she is not paying attention when she is walking and knocking her head into low hanging lamps or door frames. Even after years of etiquette and balance training she can not help but be a bit clumsy. She has waist length brown hair and hazel eyes, they tend to be more green though, and hidden behind some horned rimmed glasses, she has a stigmatism in both eyes. She tries to look neat and tidy most of the time, just out of habit from her upbringing. Her mother, a Lady in the British empire, tried to instill a great sense of order in her daughter as a young child. Though she tends to make messes of her self and her surroundings. She can usually be seen wearing traditional wizarding attire, robes and witches hats, but she has a pension, on her off time she likes to wear floor length earth-tone skirts and peasant blouses, with a pair of Native American moccasins. She is also always seen wearing a beaded Native America chocker made with blue, purple, and violet beads in the shape of an eagle, a gift from her late fiancé. She also has five tattoos on her body: on her left hip she has the Japanese kanji for music surrounded by clouds, one crest on each shoulder, the MacLeod family crest of a bull head above a knight's helmet and that is above field of blue with a castle on it the words "hold fast" are above it all and the Harner family crest on the other, a book with two crossed swords behind it, around her right ankle is an ancient Celtic rune spell for protection, and her final tattoo is on the left side of her back, a traditional Native American shaman's tattoo of an eagle and a love blessing.


Personality
{20 words minimum - Please include at least 2 personal weaknesses}

Savanah is a scholar by heart. She has the greatest love for learning in her life. She has devoted her life to the pursuit of knowledge, since childhood she had private tutors in all types of subjects: Music (violin, piano, and voice), Languages (Latin, Spanish, Gaelic, and later on in life Ancient Celtic Runes, Ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Cherokee), mathematics, sciences, and all other manners of muggle studies. When she reached the age of wizarding studies she excelled in those as well. She has traveled the world over to gain knowledge: Egypt, Greece, Americas. This pursuit of knowledge has lead Savanah to being a bit short with those who hinder that pursuit. When teaching she does not tolerate any person who tries to upset her learning schedule: trouble-makers, whisperers, any disruptions in class. She has one of the shortest tempers of anyone you could meet if you interrupt her class. She also carries a huge chip on her shoulder after the loss of her fiancé at the hands of a manticore. She has a great fear of intimacy, but at the same times yearns for a new companion in her life. This inner conflict causes Savanah great turmoil and she gets so upset some times she makes herself sick, both emotionally and physically. This garners some amount of sympathy and huge amounts of "Get over it" comments. All she really wishes is to gain a stable life, a constant schedule, and maybe a sense of normalcy in her wizarding life.

History:

Savanah grew up in a family of a wizard father and muggle mother. Her mother was a Lady of the British empire and her father was a Scottish foreign delegate. They feel in love and married quickly. They marriage produced one child, Savanah. Her parents split up, but never divorced. Savanah lived with her mother, Doreen Harner, in England, just outside of Bath in the Harner family manor. She grew up in a life of relative comfort, allowing her to devote much of her time to her studies. She was given private tutors, in music(violin, piano, and voice), in Languages(Latin, Spanish, Gaelic, and later on in life Ancient Celtic Rune, Ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Cherokee) and all other areas of muggle learning. In her mother's home she grew up with very strict rules in how to conduct herself. She had to take all types of manners classes. She never really ever had a free reign in her life, she had to always follow the rules. This probablly atributes to her no tolerence attitude towards disorder in the classroom. She barely got to see her father, Edwin MacLeod, for the first eleven years of her life because the only time she got to see him was in his delegation visits to Bath. He tried to seek her out any time he was in England, but her mother did not want his "influence" on their daughter's life. Doreen had to give this dream up when Savanah recieved her Hogwarts letter in the August after 11th birthday. Her father was so proud, he Apparted to England and took his daughter to Diagon Alley. She recieved her wand, 11 inches, Rosewood, with a pheonix feather, all the items need for school.

Her school years passed by uneventfully, the school year spent on campus and the summer spent with her father. She became a little more cheerful during this time in her life. She was a prefect and Head girl because of her excellet academic preformance. She achived 8 Os on her OWLs and 8 Os on her NEWTs. Her school years behind her she began to travel the world, enjoying her new found freedom her opressive home life with her mother and some what with her father. She travelled to Egypt, Greece, Spain, and all of the British Isles, learning all she could. Gaining knowledge became her all consuming goal. She wanted to learn everything about her surroundings. This pusuit lead her to travel to America to be an assistant professor at American Magical Academy for Witches and Wizards, she knew that she would be able to learn from the professors there and be able to pass on what she had started to learn. The last thing she thought would happen is tha she would fall in love.

American Magical Academy for Witches and Wizards is located in Montana, on the Cherokee indian reservation, hidden within a large cavern area, where the Cherokee had first lived. She meet an American Indian Ministry worker, Steven Eagle in Flight. He worked with the wild beast division. The two fell in love almost instantly. She moved in with him and they got engaged very quickly. She was also admitted to his tribe and blessed by the shaman with the tattoo she has on her back, hoping for a happy marriage for the two of them. About a week before their wedding, Steven had to go on the hunt for a maticore that was slaughtering local farm animals. He gave Savanah the necklace she wears now and told her she would see him in the morning. She kissed him and that was the last time she saw him. He sacrificed himself for his team when the manticore when crazy on his team. While he was being savaged the team was able to kill the beast. Steven's wounds were to extesive and he lost too much blood to be revived. They brought back his wand and his ring to Savanah. She fell to pieces. She packed up everything and moved back to England. She became reclusive and stayed with her mother for a while, staying confined to her rooms, only eating about once a week. Her mother and father became increasingly worried about her and they finally set up a meeting with Hogwarts, hoping that teaching at her old school would help bring her out of her depressed state of mind. She was offered the job as the Ancient Runes professor. She took the job hoping a change of scene would be the thing to break her out of her mood. She can only hope it will...
