Name: Sorina Kasumi Krum

House: Ravenclaw

Parents: Cho Chang-Krum and Viktor Krum

Age: 17

Looks: With the delicate Japanese features of her mother and her father’s powerfully athletic build, Sorina is a sight to behold. She prefers to tie her hair messily back from her face, but when let down it hangs in a shiny black curtain to her waist. Sorina dresses in a colorful, heavily Asian-influenced style.

Personality: Vibrant, funny, and smart, Sorina is much like her mother. Her sarcastic wit and cynical outlook on life is sometimes off-putting, which is something she’s constantly trying to rein in. Deep down, Sorina has very low self-esteem and points out flaws in others because, compared to her own flaws, they seem so insignificant; she simply doesn’t understand that it could hurt their feelings.

History: Sorina is the daughter of Viktor Krum and Cho Chang. Her parents were forced to marry after Cho accidentally got pregnant with Sorina, so their marriage was rocky at the start, and has not smoothed out much since then. Viktor, being the Quidditch sensation that he is, was gone often in her childhood, leaving her mother, her little brother Chiro, and Sorina to form a solid family unit without him. They spent most of the year at a large estate outside London, where they could race broomsticks, practice magic, and live their lives in peace. Their summers were spent at a Romanian chateau; it was really the only time Viktor joined them and was able to relax in their company. Sorina cherished the summertimes she spent with her father, but was also realistic enough to know that summers alone will not suffice for months spent away. She learned not to get too attached; unfortunately, Chiro never learned that lessons, and Sorina spent months after returning to London trying to cheer up her little brother.

Sorina is extremely close to her mother, Cho. They have very similar personalities and taste in movies, clothing, books… all of the important things. She also has a deep connection with her little brother, almost on a psychic level; with a single look, one can tell what the other is thinking.

At ten, Sorina tearfully left her mother and brother and went to Hogwarts. She was sorted into Ravenclaw, not unexpectedly, but did not exactly flourish there, largely due to her lack of people skills and the dark, sarcastic humor she gets from her father. Feeling very alone until Chiro joined her in Ravenclaw house two years later, Sorina devoted herself to her studies, and became the best student in her year. She also became the Ravenclaw Seeker, due to her own abilities and not her father’s last name. Sorina is now a Ravenclaw Prefect, along with Samuel Ackerman.

Other: She has had a crush on Sam since they met before Sorting as first-years. And. regrettably, he knows she likes him, making things uncomfortable all the way around, as Sorina has no real idea about how to show her feelings. She is also aware that Juliet Weasley likes Sam, and has no wish to cross one of the Weasley-Potter-Lupin-Black family unit. Plus, she simply thinks Juliet is a good person, while she thinks that she herself is not; therefore, Sam should pick Juliet over her.
