Physical Appearance
Eyes: Small slits of glassy blue eyes which rarely give away any sort of emotion. Always looks teary but with everything put together can be judged as cool and impassive. Hair: Shoulder length wavy brown hair with large soft curls at the end which she usually leaves open Height: 5'7" General Appearance: It is quite hard to fit Maureen in either the pretty or ugly categories. She lays somewhere in between and unclear about which one she leans towards. The fact that she is expressionless makes one want to say that she isn't attractive. However, the feline features of the woman may be deemed eye-catching and she does have quite an impressive body. Strenuous and rigorous exercises every single morning keeps her body fit and strong which is an important factor for her job. Her many tricks with knives has given her quite a nasty gash running down her spine. But other than that permanent one it isn't unusual to see her arms and legs with minor cuts and bruises. Maureen always chooses to dress in robes and cloaks beneath which she adorns modest and simple dresses. She never wears any kind of jewellery. Her allergy for gold is known but besides that the reason behind her shunning any sort of accessory is not common knowledge. She never has any sort of beads, sequins or any decorations and designs on her clothes or shoes. They always remain completely plain and bland.
Personality
General Character Traits: It really wouldn't be surprising if people labelled Maureen a sociopath. She never was a people person but she always seemed to shock everyone with the way she got around with a selected few. It's rare to see her rolling in laughter, crying her heart out or boiling with rage. But the people closest to her, which have always remained between two to three, knows she does feel deep within. Everything about her is simply bottled up and sealed with a cork that she herself hasn't been able to pop open. With strangers and acquaintances, Maureen is just that...a stranger. A smile is rarely exchanged but her words are not cold or harsh. She would always help a person in need but her expression would probably give off the impression that she isn't very willing; which isn't true. With people she has been in contact with for a long time, Maureen may not necessarily deem them friends or manage a complete conversation with them but would always be there when they needed her. Her needs were left with those she trusted and no one else. The others had her confidence and trust. She wouldn't be the friend you go for a hug and sweet consolation...but one that would give you a calculated and sensible solution for your problem whether you like it or not. Honesty is Maureens' most honorable characteristic. She is very open with her thoughts and upfront about her opinions in her own quiet and collected manner. It is only those closest to her who will see the sensitive and broken soul that lay within this hard exterior. She is a hard egg to crack even for them but they may be the only ones who ever catch a glimpse of something good within Maureen.
Other than her affiliations with people which she is forced to have, usually, Maureen is quite a conservative person who enjoys being alone. She eats, drinks and works out alone. She actually does not like having company at any of those times because she hates being forced into a conversation she clearly has nothing much to say in. However, she does remain polite and cover up her annoyance with a curt nod or a tight smile. When she is left alone, Maureen spends her time observing people. She is a very perceptive person who notices every little detail about her surroundings. She picks upon things people usually overlook and uses those things to create a life, in her head, she thinks the person lives and makes conclusions about them. This is something she does as a sort of entertainment and not for any kind of advantage; but it does prove useful to her job quite often. Maureen also has a sort of obsession with numbers which leaves her creates unique and random equations and sequnces in her head for no apparent reason. Quite an odd character. Yes, she is. Apart from that, Maureen is quite an adventurous person which almost is an occupational hazard. Her love for arithmancy, charms and travelling is what drew her towards becoming a curse-breaker.

Background/History
Children: Merce Hall; born July 17, 2040 Godfather: Glen Raeuben; deceased Mother: Unknown Blood Status: Pureblood Father: Unknown Blood Status: Pureblood Siblings: Unknown
Character's History:
An unknown background never gives birth to a perfect normal person. Maureen Hall is a childof exactly that. Brought up in a Catholic church Maureen had sought to keeping to herself from a very young age. She questioned her surroundings and everyones believes turning out to be quite the black sheep. The fact that she was such a quiet child otherwise confused the nuns a lot. She enjoyed reading. She loved studying. She excelled in school. She was a perfect little girl with amazing manners. And yet...she seemed disturbed. Troubled. They put it off as something hidden from the girls background and did not dwell on it as much hoping that the interaction with older orphans would help her out better. Maureen never bothered with such friendships. Her only connection with people till the age of eleven remained as study partners or task groups. She made no friends at all and was close to no one; adults, older kids or younger alike. Having recieved the letter to Hogwarts at eleven Maureen used that as her ticket to the outside world. She had to run away from the convent to get to the school and managed to stay within the castle throughout her years of schooling. She grew to be independent at such a young age which is probably why the girl is quite hardened at heart. Moreover, being so naive and new to the world around her Maureen had difficulty in mingling and mixing with anyone at all....and not to mention, she didn't really have a grasp on which emotion and words were true. It was all these qualities in her early childhood that rose the woman she is now. She taught herself to notice and observe people so as to find out who and how they were before they even uttered a word to her. She taught herself to be cautious and curious about everything and everyone around her. In fact, she took it all over the limit making it both her strength and weakness. Throughout her years at Hogwarts, Maureen barely made any friends being so distant and afraid of making connections with people. Her first year she had too many experiences with bullies and older boys who found her a "pretty little thing". Six months of being messed around was all the young girl took and soon she trained herself to be tougher. She worked on her spells and charms relentlessly and grew to excel in them. Her obsession with numbers from a young age made her lessons in Arithmancy one of her favorites along with Ancient Runes.
Besides academics Maureen also spent her summers being taught self defense lessons including a couple of martial art techniques. It was one summer like such that she met Glen Raeuben at the wizarding suburbs where she lived in a boarding for young women. She had approached him to train her with duelling but in turn learned far more than she had ever expected to. At thirteen the girl had grown quite good with her perceptive abilities and didn't miss that flicker of familiarity that shone in his eyes when they first met. A few sessions later she found out that Raeuben was in fact her silent sponsor throughout her years at the convent and was the one that ordered them not to send her off at the age of eleven. He was her godfather. One would probably expect news like that to bring joy and elation to a young girl who has never had any knowledge about her background. However, even with her thirst for knowledge and craze curoisity about everything else in life, this seemed to be something Maureen didn't want to find out about. She ended the lessons as soon as heard about this and burnt every single letter that Raeuben wrote to her after that. She never opened them. She never cared. She never thought about it. It was pushed to the back of her head like every other feeling that has creapt up into her heart. In time, she even forgot. She grew up without a family and she still believe she has no family. She wants no family. She had never been one who did well with people and she didn't think she had any reason to start off with that right then. For three years after that, Maureen still continued to be the person she was. A recluse. She had absolutely no friends at all but was a favorite of several professors. She didn't play any sports but ventured off into the depths of the forest and beyond for her own secluded adventures. She was alone but a content and happy young girl. She might come off as dark, cold and unhappy but the girl was not as troubled as she looked...on the inside she had no issues with being the way she was. Nothing ever bothered her.
It was at the age of seventeen that Maureen met her very first...friend? The boy grew into more than a friend a little too soon and even though it worried the girl there seemed to be some sort of undeniable chemistry between the two that even she couldn't fight. The girl had little to share but the boy had lots and in time Maureen found a whole different side of her that even she didn't know existed. They explored the softer side of her a lot and were closer than ever throughout their last year at Hogwarts. He was the one person she trusted with her life and gave anything and everything to. Friends turned lovers...and obviously drama had to unfurl. The two separated paths in seemingly mutual terms and it would look like Maureen was still herself because nothing ever changed with anyone else. But deep within Maureen was a changed person. She was afraid now. It wasn't that she didn't care. She cared. She had learned to care. She knew how it was to lose something she loved. She was hurt. She cared a whole lot...and she lost. Maureen Hall is who she is today because she is afraid of any commitment. Afraid of those people who would just walk away at any given time. Afraid of being conned, fooled and duped. Afraid of all the lies and drama that would come about when people got involved. Afraid of it happening once again. It never did...at least; not very much like that.
Once she was out of Hogwarts, Maureen was quite clear on what she wanted to do. There was no doubt at all in her mind that she would be a curse-breaker. What she didn't know was what drama would be coming her way yet again. Maureen enjoyed a drink or two every other night and it wasn't unusual for men to be drawn to her. Like any other woman she liked her men; it was just an odd couple of men that actually stayed interested after some time with her since she really wasn't a conversationalist. And there did come a man that took her home. It was one night. One very wrong night when things went completely wrong. In a life as perfect as hers it would seem like there needed to be that twist to make things interesting...and there you go, she got it. A few months later she found out she was pregnant. With all her rigorous work outs and training she didn't even see it coming until it was too late to do anything. After months of regret she gave birth to a baby girl whom she named Merce. She never did meet the man again. She never contacted him after that night. Hell, she didn't even want to have the baby. She simply had to. And now...she lives two lives. One where she is an independent, single woman with quite an adventurous life. The other a very unhappy, single mother with a hidden baby girl at home. She often left her daughter with her house elf, Chopper, and never bothered to come back home until late at night. She didn't love her. She didn't care for her. The baby was just a burden for her...something that held her back from being everything she could be and she did all that she could to run away from it.
