Description: Cait is a tall girl with broad shoulders, and a relatively athletic build. She has pale peach skin, an oval shaped face a high forehead. Long straight dirty blonde hair, and large, bright Hazel colored eyes, with long dark lashes, a wide mouth and fairly large teeth.
Cait prefers comfortable loose fitting clothes, and actually really likes her school robes, as they're so hassle free. Cait isn't one to worry about appearances, beyond making sure that the clothes are decent to be seen in public. She does however think clothes are cute, but she refuses to pay outrageous prices for something just because its "cute" So most of her clothing comes from second hand stores. (Sans her school, and Dress robes, that she bought new, since they're important.)
Alliance:
Cait is very fair minded, and abhors anyone or thing being treated unfairly. She is a great champion of the underdog, and if Slytherins weren't so vile, she'd try and support them against teasing too.

Personality:
Caitlin is a cheerful, friendly, outgoing girl, she works hard, and does her best to get good grades, she's got a very positive out look on life and likes to encourage others. She can be rather over protective, and can be moody and sensitive. She's a girl after all it happens. (Once a month at least xD) She's tenderhearted, and hates seeing anyone suffering. She is bold, and unafraid to speak her opinions. She doesn't like chaotic or noisy places, and when things fly too far out of her control she's prone to become irritable and depressed. She has a great dislike of the Slytherin House. She feels sympathy for some of them at times. But generally she can't bring herself to become too offended on their behalves. Caitlin is for the most a straight arrow, but she doesn't mind deviating from the rules sometimes, so long as no real damage is done. Her two best friends in Gryffindor are her year mate Rubeus Hagrid, and a sixth year, Neville Longbottom.

First Magic: When she was four years old she turned her grandmother's hair blue.
Sorting: The sorting took a lot longer then expected, as young Caitlin had stalled the hats decision for nearly five minutes as she agonized over rather she wished to be in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. Finally though, she made her decision that Gryffindor seemed the better house, and so the Hat agreed, and called in out to the rest of the hall, GRYFFINDOR!
History:
Before Hogwarts:
Born to two Muggles, Mason and Vicky Lusk, a Architect and Pediatrician respectively. For the first few years, Caitlin showed no sign of being anything but a healthy, happy little girl. Then strange things began to happen. Her Grandmother's hair turned electric blue, a falling lamp became a teddy-bear, glass shards that she was about to fall on turned into a harmless pile of goose down. Naturally, the Lusks were quiet unnerved by this all, but tried not to dwell on it too much. She was just "special".
When she turned Eleven, two people in suites arrived and informed the Lusks of the fact that their daughter wasn't just "special" she was in fact a Witch and she'd been chosen to attend a special school for magic. Something it took the Lusks all quiet a while to accept. Fortunately, due to the fact that her birthday fell after September 1st, she had a whole year to digest the information before she was required to begin her first year.
Eventually the Lusks excepted, Caitlin egging them on. And they were introduced the larger Wizarding World, which Caitlin fell in love with instantly. Then, when September 1st finally rolled around again, Caitlin was taken, along with her parents, to a hidden platform at Kings Cross Station, and got aboard a train with a Scarlett engine, bound for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
First Year:
First day on the train Caitlin was tripped over by the largest boy she'd ever seen in her life, was nearly hexed by several older students and nearly sat on a toad... The owner of which: One Neville Longbottom, soon came to retrieve it, and ended up sitting with her, they became fast friends. Neville, being born and raised a wizard, new a lot of interesting things.
Caitlin was sorted to Gryffindor, and soon made friends with several other members of her house, One of which being the big boy who'd tripped over her earlier on the train, Rubeus Hagrid.
She immediately dived head first into her studies, and strived to be top of her year in all her classes.
Got top marks in all her classes, tied with a Slytherin, Phinius Bellerose for top of their year.
Summer After First Year
Spent the summer Owling friends and dying of boredom since her parents were busy at work.
Second Year
Spent most of her time studying or hanging out with Ru and Nev. Had a fight with another girl in her year Greyback from Slytherin. Got a detention from Filch for being caught rushing back from the owlery five minutes after curfew. Helped Rubeus with a Nuffler he'd found, (And then later had to help him fix the common room after said Nuffler got loose from its cage and destroyed everything.)
Got top marks in her Astronomy class, decided that she'd take Ancient Runes, Care of Magical Creatures, and Divination in third year.
Summer After Second Year
Bored. She spent her whole summer infront of the AC warding off bordom by looking up star charts and other astronomical information on the internet, or in books from the local library. She mailed her friends almost every day and came down with a cold of all the rediculous things, from being in a cold room all the time.
When she finally got to go to Diagon Alley for her supplies, she perchused a larger trunk, and several more books on Divination, Astronomy, and useful house hold charms.
Third Year
Got in several arguments with Ron Weasly about his attitude toward the first years. Spent the whole of her first divination class worried that the teacher was going to break something. Got lost when the corridor she was walking in disappeared and reappeared down near the inner cortyard.
Got sick with the flue TWICE and had no luck what so ever in her Divination Class which she found to be incredibly dull.
Summer After Third Year
Spent the summer at her Aunt Eirlys' house in , where she actually found that she and Eirlys had a lot in common. The older woman liking Cooking and Astronomy as well, and the two spent the whole summer discussing things, and bonding.
Fourth Year
She has supported Harry Potter from the very beginning. (She told Tom Riddle, and Draco Malfoy in no short terms, to both go fall down a hole, and stay there!) She spent the better part of the first semester in an empty classroom teaching Rubeus to dance, and has been helping Neville with his revision for OWLS. They attended the first task together, and Caitlin nearly had a heartattack. More dancing lessons, and revision. Then Rubeus and Caitlin attended the Yule Ball together. Cait was sick during the second task, but Rubeus, and Neville both told her about it later...
She knows Hagrid has some new pet hidden somewhere, cause she knows he's been sneaking out at night. She just hopes no one catches him.

Please tell me that you miss me.
More and more each day that I'm not there.
Its not that I wish to cause you pain unending.
I just long for proof that you still care...
