Shoshana Levy

[Shoshana Levy]

SHOSHANA CHAVA LEVY

Basics;;

FULL NAME: Shoshana Chava Levy
NICKNAME(S):Shoshie
AGE/D.O.B.: 15 (5th October, 1996)
Year: 4th
HOUSE: Slytherin
IDEOLOGY: Despite the moderate reservations of her parents and her house, Shoshie is relatively forward-thinking with regard to blood quantum and humanity. She didn't grow up thinking her parents' biases were wrong necessarily, but she didn't personally find that they clicked with her, and has spent her recent years at Hogwarts exploring what it all means with regard to herself.
WAND: Hawthorn, phoenix feather core, 9 and 7/8 inches. Shoshana tried out eight other wands before finding this one, and Ollivander hesitated to pair her with the wand at age eleven, noting that hawthorn can be temperamental and difficult for any young witch or wizard to master, but she was quite insistent that the wand had been made for her, and her parents agreed more with the wand's choice than the wandmaker's caution.
BROOM: Comet 360
PLAYBY: Josie Totah

Personal Life;;

NATIONALITY: English
BIRTH-PLACE: Birmingham
PARENTS: Libby (deceased) and Reuben Levy. Reuben has been dating a woman for years who is functionally Shoshana's stepmother.

OTHER IMPORTANT FAMILY: grandparents and one aunt on Reuben's side, two sisters and a grandmother on Libby's side, plus stepmother's parents and brother.
HISTORY: formatively, Shoshana's mother died when she was seven. They were close, and the incident left Shoshie somewhat detached from others. She still appeared to interact normally for the most part, but internally struggled to make connections, perhaps overextending herself in interactions with others in the attempts to facilitate connection. This has led to her being a very social, and yet very lonely person. Her parents (meaning her father and father's girlfriend), while not openly bigots, have their reservations about muggles, muggleborns, werewolves, partial humans, etc. It was with extreme trepidation that Shoshie came out to them this past summer as transgender, but to her surprise, they welcomed her identity as a young witch with open arms, helping her choose her new name and new styles with nothing but open encouragement. Professor McGonagall was contacted in order to shift arrangements in dorming once the newly named Miss Shoshana Levy started her fourth year. She has hopes that being more authentically herself will allow her to connect more easily.
