Characteristics:PERSONALITY: Michelle is a rather multiple-personalitied person; in front of her students, she appears laid-back so that her students will relax. In front of her colleagues and fellow Order members, however, Michelle is all business, sparing no time to hang out and chat. She suffers from slight Chronisc Fatigue Syndrome, so is often seen tired.
LIKES: Michelle finds herself best at ease when things are in order and organized. She finds herself able to think easier if it’s quiet, and is quite obsessed with coffee.
DISLIKES: Michelle can’t stand it when it’s loud, or messy, or if there is just any plain annoying people around her, keeping her from her work. It’s also a pet peeve of hers if someone beats around the bush.
FEARS: Michelle is afraid to imagine the future if the Death Eaters won this never-ending war. She lives to take care of the students of Hogwarts, her family, and any other civilians, so it’d be total chaos if the tables were turned. Even though she would never admit it, Michelle is still a bit afraid of her father, who is locked up in Azkaban.
HISTORY:Michelle Elizabeth Anne Knight was born on March 24th, 2075. She was born to Michael Knight and Anne Christensen, both workers in the Ministry of Magic. She changed her surname to Christensen after the divorce of her two parents.
Anne Christensen had been a pure-blood of a slightly higher status than of Michael, who came from a rather low family. Anne, for whatever reason, had fallen in love at first sight and after one month, recklessly got married with him. Her family promptly all but disowned her after that. Anne had Michelle about 3 years after graduating from Hogwarts.
Michelle lived the first eight years of her life lonely, seeing as her parents probably spent more time working than at home. They lived in the city of London in a rather empty two-story house at a neighborhood filled with mostly Muggles.. Her mother would try to make time to hang out with Michelle, but to her father, Michelle was merely nothing but a nuisance, an obstacle.
When Michelle’s sister, Kaitlyn, was born, Michelle finally had someone to be around with. Even though Kaitlyn was about 8-9 years younger, Michelle enjoyed taking care of her baby sister. They spent their childhood sticking with each other like glue.
Time at HogwartsWhen Michelle was accepted into Hogwarts. Michelle’s mother was forced to quit her job in order to take care of Kaitlyn, which only displeased her father even more, although he probably would have kicked Michelle out if she hadn’t been accepted. Although Michelle was rather excited to go to Hogwarts, she worried about leaving her little sister to fend for herself and therefore wrote letters every day.
Michelle was sorted into Hufflepuff in 2086 due to her lack of confidence in things, for she had always been discouraged at home. Being at Hogwarts certainly helped her boost her self-esteem, however, for as the years went on, Michelle grew more and more confident, turning into a bold and daring girl. She found friends, studied, and happily learned at Hogwarts.
In Michelle’s 5th year, she was charged for under-age magic during Christmas Break. They had been invited to a neighborhood party, Muggles and wizards/witches mixed. Her father, generally hot-tempered, had had one too many drinks and was rapidly fraying Michelle’s temper. When he finally started shouting at her mother, Kaitlyn, and her, Michelle shot a Conjunctivitus Curse at him and ran out. She was later charged for that, though the pressed charges were minor.
In Michelle’s remaining years, she became more secluded and suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. She had had several fainting spells every month or so but got better, with now only slight fatigue every now and then.
After HogwartsAfter Michelle graduated from Hogwarts in 2093, she moved into a small house off the coast of a town. Michelle’s maternal grandparents felt obligated to financially support her, even though they had disowned her. Michelle had accepted the money, though she saved it up in Gringotts.
Not long after her graduation, Michelle’s father was arrested for repeatedly performing magic in front of Muggles. No one in the Christensen family missed him very much, quite honestly, as Michelle’s mom and sister moved out into an apartment. Michelle visited them frequently as she searched for a job to support and them and herself.
Michelle took on several odd-jobs, none of which satisfied her. As the time grew on, so did the danger for everyone, witch, wizard, and Muggles alike. For that reason, Michelle joined the Order of the Pheonix, though some people doubted her abilities. The Order, however, was not a paying job, and Michelle continued to look for a career.
In 2097, she applied for a teaching post in Hogwarts, assuming it the safest place. Also, she could keep track of her sister, then, too. Michelle got in as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and had been teaching there since.
After earning a decent amount in her savings, Michelle bought a large house for herself near the ocean. She let her mother and sister live there for as long as they wanted and spent her summer there, also.
