Arra Peterson

Hi, I'm Arra Oakley Peterson!

Feel free to call me any of these nicknames: Ari, Ar, Oak, or just Arra.

Personality: Ambitious, resourceful, and determined. I’m clever and enjoy outsmarting challenges, though I can be a bit of a perfectionist. My friends joke that I’m a "try-hard," but I just believe in giving my all.

Languages: Spanish is my first language, but my family thought it would be beneficial if I spoke English and French.

Ambitions: I aim to excel in Potions, just like my mother. I want to make a name for myself as a skilled Potioneer, possibly even surpassing the family legacy. One day, I hope to create a potion that will make me famous.

Dream Job: My dream is to become a renowned Potioneer, developing new and powerful potions that could change the wizarding world. I’m fascinated by the idea of uncovering the secrets of rare ingredients and discovering new magical properties. If that doesnt work out, I'd be fine with being a teacher or working in the Ministry of Magic.

Pet Peeves: I dislike it when people underestimate me because I’m quiet or because I’m a first-year. I also get frustrated when things don’t go according to plan, especially when it comes to potion-making.

Other Information: I sometimes struggle with self-doubt, especially when it comes to living up to my family’s expectations. I’m working on being more confident in my abilities.

Hobbies: I love brewing potions, experimenting with different ingredients, and reading up on the history of magic. I also enjoy exploring the castle and grounds, discovering hidden corners, and learning new spells. I adore dancing as well.

Amortentia: Graphite pencils, caraway, the rich rot of mushrooms, holy water, antacids, the cracked spine of a rare book, and the first bite of a granny smith apple.

Mirror of Erised: I see myself as a successful Potioneer, standing tall with a prestigious award in one hand and my family beaming with pride.

Animagus: White Swan.

Family: My family is well-known in the wizarding world, with a long line of Slytherins. My mother is a respected Potioneer, and my father works in the Ministry of Magic. They expect a lot from me, which sometimes feels overwhelming, but I’m determined to make them proud.

Friends: I’m still making my way through the social maze of Hogwarts, but I’ve made a few close friends who appreciate my quiet determination and share my love for potions.

Celebrity Role Models: I admire powerful witches and wizards like Severus Snape for his mastery of Potions and cunning, and Professor Slughorn for his connections and influence.

Favorite Foods: Bionicos. It's a delightful Mexican fruit bowl that originated from the streets of Guadalajara. These tasty bowls feature a mix of fresh fruit drizzled with a sweet, creamy blend of yogurt, condensed milk, and Mexican crema. The fruit salad typically includes diced cantaloupe, papaya, red apple, banana, and strawberries. As a finishing touch, they’re topped with shredded coconut, raisins, and granola.

Appearance: I have long blonde hair that I usually keep secured in braids or updos. Bright blue eyes that seem to light up rooms. I have honey beige toned skin that is perfect and clear. I have a delicate appearance, but there is a fire burning behind it. I stand at 4'10" and weigh roughly 37.4 kg. I have a heart-shaped face, full lips, freckles, and hooded eyes. I am always wearing gold, brass, and copper jewelry. I opt for gemstones like coral, turquoise, and amber that complement my skin tone.

Patronus: My Patronus is a shrew, a symbol of my resourcefulness and determination.
