Mika Vinake
Name:
Mika Vinake
Year:
5th
House:
Slytherin
History:
Mika is, by no means, ashamed of her history. Born as the daughter to two very proud and noble pure-blooded parents, you could definitely say Mika’s has a very traditional past. Her parents, Alexia and Kurt Vinake, were both Slytherins at Hogwarts back in their day graduating from the school 2 years before the “famous boy wizard” defeated the Dark Lord. Mika has not been told this for her own safety, but Alexia and Kurt were both Death Eater following the Dark Lord, and have not let go of their old traditional ways of the family.
Alexia and Kurt both met when they were young, but follow two completely separate paths in life. Kurt left Hogwarts and became a professional quidditch player for the Heidelberg Harriers, in his hometown in Heidelberg, Germany. Alexia on the other hand, went off and became an actress. While they were in school, the two were both in the same year, and had a lot of classes together. Alexia was a very beautiful girl, and Kurt, simply put- a very cocky man. He was very persistent, and eventually in the two’s 5th year, Alexia finally accepted to give him a shot.
It was devastating in their seventh year. The Dark Lord was having problems with that…. Potter kid and now the two had to go their separate ways. Kurt was accepted onto the Germanic quidditch team, and Alexia traveled to France to attend an acting school. The two didn’t see each other for 5 years. Sure they tried to keep in touch, but with as busy as Kurt and Alexia were, it was hard and things eventually just faded to black.
Then, six years after they graduated school, Kurt was still in Germany when he was sitting in the locker room with his teammates, and he overheard something that shocked him. Now, over the past six years, while they didn’t keep in touch, Alexia followed every Heidelberg Harriers game, and Kurt kept up with any and all international appearances by Alexia who was becoming quite the sensation. In the locker room, he overheard his teammates mention a name. “Yeah… Alexia Vanderhale is going to be at the game tomorrow. She’s making some kind of appearance to gain support for the team to raise funds. Don’t know why she’d do it for us, but I’m not complaining.”
To make a long, complicated story short, during the game, Kurt passed along a message to be given to Miss Vanderhale instructing her to meet him again. That night, the two rekindled the feelings from the past, and knew they couldn’t live without the other. Alexia and Kurt bother made the decision to move back to Britain.
Kurt handed in his resignation to the Harriers, and informed them he had been accepted onto the Falmouth Falcons team as their following beater. Alexia left Paris and started a new carrier in Britain. The two were wed a year later, then after that, Mika was conceived. When she was born, Alexia had to take a break from her movies and take care of Mika because Kurt was always gone. Sure Alexia had help with the nanny, but it was hard for not only her, but even her daughter to not have their father around as often.
Kurt had a passion for quidditch, something he couldn’t just let go of, and Alexia accepted that. When Mika grew older, she too began to understand why her father was gone so often. When she was about the age of 11, Mika understood that she lived in a very privileged household. Money was no object of question in the home, and Mika took full advantage of it. Taking dancing and singing lessons, going to modeling classes, having the best in line of clothes and accessories, Mika was very easily spoiled.
She was by far no brat. Mika is a very well behaved child. She always did as her mother and father told her, and she never harassed her Nanny. When she eleven, she received a letter from Beauxbaton for her acceptance since Hogwarts had been closed after the downfall of the Dark Lord. There, Mika learned to be a proper lady. She learned manors, etiquette, and how to be graceful and feminine along side the magic that she was taught. Although, it was her cunning nature and her vengeance that got her removed from the school. While at the school, there were quite a few girls she didn’t get along with.
A lot of the girls knew her by her mother because the two look so much alike, and Mika was often mocked because of her looks and her privileged lifestyle. The comments ranged from “I guess without her looks she’d get no where in life like her mother” to “Of course her father plays quidditch, who would want to live in the house with her.” Mika did not take too kindly to these.
Now, Mika is a very nonconfrontational person. She only picks her battles she knows she has an advantage. So with every girl she heard make a comment, she watched them, studied them, and learned their weaknesses. When she knew she had an upper hand, she picked them off one by one. One girl had a very unfortunate accident when she was on her way to classes, and somehow tripped falling down a flight of stairs. Another girl, mysteriously developed a tape worm in her intestines that grew so rapidly she had to be rushed to operation. That same week, another girl passed out face down in the girls’ bath and almost didn’t make it. Even a girl who slept in the bed next to Mika’s had violent nightmares that caused her to beat herself. Another girl woke up one morning on the floor with two broken arms.
Yes, Mika was a very vengeful girl, and had an alibi for every “mishap”. She slipped up only one time when she attempted to get back at the flying teacher who made a negative reference to “Kurt Vinake’s flying style”. One night Mika snuck out of her dorm and made her way out to the recreational building. Finding the broom her flying teacher used, she placed a charm on the broom. The next day, as the professor when to grab her broom, She flew up, but it began to nose dive to the ground, taking the professor with her. Crashing hard to the ground, the professor had a broken arm and a concussion and was rushed to the infirmary. After class was dismissed, Mika was heading inside when her wand fell out of her pocket. Another student, who remembered the comment from the day before, took Mika’s wand to the Headmistress who looked at what the wand had cast, and found the charms that had affected the professor broom.
Alas, Mika was removed from the school, but fortunately, Hogwarts was opened at the time, and Mika was then accepted there. At 15, Mika is now a 5th year at Hogwarts. Her father is still now the leading beater of the Falmouth Falcons, and her mother is one of the leading actresses in a British soap opera that has been running for over 30 years. Mika has long since learned from her mistake, and now is more cautious about the revenge she takes. She learned to cover her tracks better, and has initially perfected the term “a wolf in sheep’s skin”.
Family Blood line:
Pure
What do you like doing in spare time:
Mika loves to Sing, Dance, and Model in her spare time. Shopping is always a pleasure, and has even made a few guest appearances on her mother’s show during the summer months when she’s not in school. In school, Mika is a Slytherin house beater. Getting her skills from her father, she is a very determined and exceptional player. Her mother hopes Mika will become a model or actress while her father wants the jewel of his eye to become a famous player like him.
Pet:
Mika owns a runt kneazle that’s the size of a small house cat with three tails. Ironically, she named the pet Tails.
Other
Mika is not a very easily trusting person, it’s very hard to gain her trust, so it makes it fairly difficult for her to make “real” friends. But once you’re good friends with her, you could trust her with your life, knowing she could be real and honest with you, and would literally kill for you because to her, you’re family.
