Familiar: None with her at CCI. She owns an older german shepherd named Isabella, whom lives at home with her parents all year round. She's had Bella since she was a small child, and the two have quite a bond. Which makes Hunter a bit sour that dogs aren't acceptable pets for school.

Appearance-
PB: Blake Lively.
Detailed Description:
Hunter's hair is rather thick, comes in a golden blonde color, and is usually hanging into her face. In length, it is pretty long, going to her shoulder blades. It usually appears straight, but only because she keeps it that way. If she doesn't apply a daily straightening charm, it ends up looking more naturally frizzy and wavy, which she suffered through enough during childhood. Outside of the daily use of her little hair spell, she is more or less a shower & go type of girl, never one to fuss over her appearance too much. She would tell you, frankly, that she looks good regardless; looking natural is the new hot thing. She puts her hair up sometimes, but it is usually down, and occasionally with a hat on over it.

Her skin is far from pale. It is rather well toned, holding a nice tan through out most of the year. She usually gains an especially good tan through the summer vacation, and manages to keep it through out the year with all of the time that she spends on the grounds around school. She doesn't believe too much in make-up, unless it's a special occasion, or she has something that she's trying to cover up. She applies a light layer, but nothing excessive. Usually you can catch her with black eyes more than black eye make-up, given her penchant for trouble. Her skin is smooth and well taken care of, and has a very nice glow to it.

Hunter's eyes are a vibrant blue in color, wide and defined and often filled with a look of mischief or feigned innocence. Her face is slender, with full lips and somewhat rosy cheeks, and usually a very wide and friendly grin plastered onto said lips. She finds her nose to be a little weird looking, a little long, but it really quite fits her overall face.

For her age, even at eighteen-almost-nineteen, she is fairly tall; Hunter's height tops off at just six feet and two inches, and that's without a hat. She's got a lithe and athletic build, from playing constant quodpot among other sports and lots of physical activity. She still has a lanky look about her, with generally thin limbs, and with long legs, long arms, long fingers, long in general. She has very decent curves, rather soft, and she is very well endowed as well, with a nice pair of hips, which go pretty well with her chest. She has no piercings, but two tattoos. One on her left hip which reads 'live the life you love & love the life you live', and a second on the back of her leg, her brother's name [Benjamin] written in a fancy font. She got them during the summer before her junior year, taking advantage of growth spurts in both height & chest, as well as a fake Texas state ID.

Her sense of fashion seems to be heading in every direction, and rather skewed in the opinion of what is 'appropriate' for the school year. She isn't always modest in her choices, particularly for school events. Hunter loves tanktops, lowrise jeans, boots, and kills the work out clothes. Running shorts, hoodies, sweatpants, and sneakers are her favorite lazing around attire, but she cleans up well and isn't against wearing a nice dress and some heels.

Personality-
Likes: Morning runs, quodpot, physical activity, barbeque ribs, astronomy, cowboy hats, shopping, goofing off, hanging out with her friends, breaking curfew, Rienzi house, going to clubs, having fun, Mack, good jokes, big meals, Benjamin, the smell of spring, sitcoms, flasks, fresh peaches, hairspray, the smell of gasoline, succeeding.
Dislikes: Losing, being stuck inside, homework, most classes other than astronomy/arithmancy, getting her hair messed up, fighting with friends, getting detention, stupid knock knock jokes, vegetable casseroles [green bean etc], blackberries, most of her family, being expected to live up to her mother's ideals, the taste of copper.

Quirks:
~ Hunter can almost never sit still, and always wants to be doing or plotting something.

~ She was proud to be captain of her team in her senior year, and is honored to pass the position onto one of her best friends, Keegan. She has every intention to work with him as hard as ever as his quarterback, and every intention to make sure he also passes on the title to am equally worthy teammate after his reign. She has her eye on a few potentials.

~ She is rather fidgety in class, and often raises her hand just to make a joke; which only irritates her professors. She's been kicked out of class more times for horsing around more than she can recollect.

~ She doesn't like to take crap from anyone, and is willing to fight for herself or any of her friends, hands down. There are no questions asked in this department. If you mess with her friends, you will pay.

~ She has a little good luck mantra that she whispers to herself before every quodpot match.

~ She is notoriously messy, and hates when people screw with the exploded bomb that is her dormitory. This was a bigger problem when she actually had a roommate. The room might look disorganized from the outside, but she knows where almost everything is in it. Mostly.

~ Although she only returns home to Texas during mandatory breaks and holidays, Hunter still has quite a heavy accent. When she gets really excited, some of her more Northern peers may find it hard to follow her rambling.

Secrets:
~ Hunter blames herself completely for the death of her brother. In reality, though she is not really responsible, it is still something that she has harbored inside since that day, despite her otherwise bubbly and carefree personality.

~ She wants to be close to her family, and she wishes they would treat her better so that she could do the same. Their terrible relationship is something she often feels bad about. Still, she just cannot conform to their beliefs and rules, and refuses to even try. It isn't worth giving up her independence just to impress her parents and sister.

~ Hunter is fascinated with werewolves, and thinks it might even be sort of cool to be one. She knows it's sort of weird, but it's something she has thought about for years. Despite all of the cons, she feels the pros might just outweigh it. She can only imagine the speed and strength she'd exhibit on the sports-field with wolf blood in her veins.

~ She used to be terrified of heights, but put herself on a broom to get over this fear. She has never looked back. However, she wet herself the very first time she kicked off from the ground and soared into the sky in her first year of school.

~ She is not at all interested in the religion of her family, but she sometimes pretends that she is, simply to get out of classes/etc with religion related excuses.

~ Though she knows it might involve some shady spells and materials, Hunter hopes that someday she can find a way to bring her brother back from the dead. She knows it seems impossible right now, but she feels time could change that. Advancements in magic happen all of the time. Bringing people back from the dead can't be that outlandish, right?

~ If she's been drinking, Back Down South by Kings of Leon always makes her cry. And wail along loudly.

Detailed personality:
Over all, Hunter is a very likable person, and it's this personality that has made her quite a few friends at Crescent City Institute, and made her a fairly popular person to know. She is loyal to her friends, and friendly to just about everybody she meets, and so she makes said friends easily. Outgoing, kind, and a bit goofy, Hunter is always the first one in a group that is willing to be social and cheerful to whoever she encounters, whether it's a close pal or just a stranger she runs into in the corridors. She loves to tease and joke. Unless someone really crosses her, or does something to give her a bad opinion of them, she is a really great girl. She is the type that can be your best friend, or your worst enemy, depending on how you treat her and her closest friends.

She can be more than a bit of a trouble maker, but is excellent at covering up her tracks, or managing to talk her way out of situations. She is a bit of a poor student, although she excels at some classes. She keeps her grades just at passable to play her sports. She'd rather be in the sky than in a classroom. She has a natural charm to her, and can be quite suave when she needs to be. She likes to always be active, and is always on the go, and is always willing to get physical, whether it's in quodpot or any other sort of physical competition that someone has come up with to pass the time. She goes for a run almost everyday, usually in early mornings. She's got a near insatiable amount of energy on the average day, being incredibly wild and hyper, and it can lead her into trouble. With anything from pranks to fist fights.

And fist fights were exactly what she spent nearly her first two years of school getting into constantly, during lower grades. It took her quite some time to outgrow the mentality of using her fists to do the talking, when someone upset her or picked on one of her friends. Now that she is in her senior year, and nearly a full fledged adult, she has learned to try and handle things like said adult.. sometimes.

When the situation calls for it, she can take on responsibility, though she prefers not to unless it's necessary. She strives for roles like captain, leader, organizer, etc, despite not always wanting to do the most responsible actions. She can be a calm girl if she needs to be, with excellent leadership skills and a knack for advice and guidance that comes natural to her. She is protective of those she cares about, particularly her friends and the younger students in her house, and will do anything to protect them and take care of them in her own ways. She dedicates her life to the people she wants to look after, and will go to any length to achieve what needs to be done. She has huge house pride, and although she has friends from each house and does not discriminate based on that, she will be the first to tell you Rienzi is going to take the quodpot game, and the other houses don't stand a chance against them. Her belief in her house and her housemates is fierce and always present.

Despite her seriousness about her obligations to look out for her friends, she loves to let loose, a total party girl. It can get out of hand at times, though she manages to keep it in check on most days. Or at least manages to hide it from the proper faculty in question. Most nights, she can be found using her available means to sneak off somewhere she shouldn't be, whether it's outdoors somewhere, or just the owlery for some peace and quiet, when she ought to be asleep in bed. It's usually somewhere she knows she can stir up fun though. She can be a bit of a tease, even to those close to her, but it's almost always in good fun. She tries to put up a bit of a tough front for others, to try and appear as cool and cheeky as she is reliable, but under it all, Hunter is most definitely a soft girl inside.

Personal History:
Hunter was born and raised in Plano, Texas; an affluent northern suburb of Dallas. Hunter's family consisted of her mother, her father, herself, and an older brother. Eventually, a younger sister joined them. Her first name is technically Jessica, while Hunter is her middle name. It was her brother who began calling her by Hunter during their childhood, and she has gone by the name ever since. It simply stuck. She hardly even likes acknowledging being addressed as Jessica. In fact, being called Jessica is something she doesn't care for at all; it reminds her of her parents, and bad times in her younger life.

David and Michelle were both upper-class high school sweethearts in their Texas city. They had known each other for most of their lives through the associations between their fathers. Although they had quite an interest in each other regardless, it was actually their fathers who set up their official courting and arranged their eventual marriage. It was mere luck that they actually turned out to enjoy each others company; their parents would not have cared either way. With two upper-class and influential backgrounds coming together, the Sommers lived a very luxurious and privileged life together. They had children a bit late, almost ten years after their original marriage date. They were never short upon money, always had what they wanted upon their beck and call, and lived in quite an extravagant old Victorian style home for the majority of Hunter's childhood.

She was born the middle child, and from the moment she was born on a humid April afternoon, she was just never what her parents expected out of her. Since Michelle already had her son by the time Hunter was born, she was really expecting [and hoping for] a girl. She wanted a girly sort of girl as a daughter. When she received Hunter, this wasn't exactly what she got. It became evident with each day that Hunter grew older. While other girls were having tea parties and playing dolls or house, Hunter was skinning her knees, climbing trees and chasing her older brother around the neighbourhood. All of this being much to her parents dismay. They were expecting their daughter to be their perfect future debutante, attending parties in her best dresses, demure and perfect, and socializing with the young men she would someday choose her husband from.

From a young age, Hunter knew she disappointed and shamed her parents. In their own ways, they made it very clear to her. Even as a child, her relationship with her family was rather rocky. She was often grounded and scolded, just for acting like herself, instead of the stereotypical little princess.

When she grew even older, Hunter never grew apart from her tom-boyish ways, or away from her brother. He was easily the number one person in her life, and her best friend for better or worse. As the siblings aged, her mother and father only seemed more and more disappointed in Hunter's bad attitude, trying at every chance they could to bring some feminine qualities out of their daughter. With the expectations the parents had built for their daughter, there was almost always tension in their home. Hunter was naturally inclined for argument and rebellion against what they wanted of her as she grew, only lashing out more with increased age. She stopped taking their dirty looks without a word, as she had always done as a very small child; as she began primary school, she began to talk back. Sometimes she wondered why she hadn't just been born a boy, so that she could run and play with her brother without being hassled and pressured by her parents all of the time.

When her younger sister was born, when Hunter was four, it did shortly ease some of the tension in their family. Said younger sister, Elizabeth, would one day grow up into the perfect spoiled daughter that the Sommers had been hoping for, even if no one quite realized it at the time. She would become everything Hunter hadn't, and Hunter was fine with that; it was pressure off of her back. She would always say that as soon as she turned eighteen, she would be gone, and Michelle and David could keep Elizabeth locked in a bubble with her future husband instead.

Life was about average in all of these ways, until Hunter was about eight years old. It would seem that through many years of tax evasion and other shady investments, the immediate Sommer family fortune was beginning to dry up. Within months, the family was bordering on the very edge of bankruptcy, and their entire established lifestyle was coming down with it. David refused to ask their extended families for help, purely out of principle and pride, and tried to make his family carry on as if nothing had changed. It was merely lucky that their home was already paid off and they did not have to move. Things began to drastically change.

Compared to the rest of their family, Hunter and Benjamin adjusted well to common life, but their parents were not to fond of the idea. Nor were the fond of the idea of raising their youngest daughter into anything short of the extravagance they were used to having. While her father was focusing on getting them back onto their feet, tragedy struck the Sommer family, when Benjamin was struck by a car and killed on his way home from school. Hunter was nine at the time, Benjamin twelve.

Hunter was understandably devastated, and seemed to sink into herself and stray away from everyone around her. She spent a majority of her time staying introverted and brooding on Benjamin for the rest of the entire year. If she had walked with him, maybe she felt she could have saved him, or perhaps they would have walked a different route all together. She could have done something, anything. Despite her lack of responsibility for the event, to this day, she feels as if it was entirely her fault, and is sure that her brother would now be ashamed or angry with her, just like her parents had always been.

Living in her own world, totally withdrawn, Hunter remained a shadow of her former self until she received a letter to attend CCI. To David and Michelle, a letter from the school was just another thing that was all wrong about their troubled Jessica, something else that hadn't been expected from her, just another screw up. They were a simple family of muggles, as far as anyone knew, including themselves. Magic hadn't appeared in the Sommer family for generations, and it wasn't until David spoke to his father about the issue, that he found out that there was wizarding blood just as close as one of his great-uncles. Still, in the view of their religion, magic was forbidden, something evil, and that was exactly Michelle and David's opinion on the subject. With her family's strict religious ideals, letting their daughter go to a school full of supposed magic was simply not an option. Their only moment of solace was realizing that Hunter being such a little witch suddenly made a ton more sense, with all of the suffering and trouble she had always brought them. Michelle consulted their church about their daughter's education, the officials of which assured her that allowing her daughter to go to such a 'damned place' would be a sure path to hell.

But Hunter wasn't taking 'no' for an answer.

It was her choice, her offer, and she felt her parents had zero say in it. They barely acknowledged her anyway, they were ashamed of her, and so what was the point in her staying? Yes, they wanted her to stay, wear dresses, dance with men, marry young, have lots of children, and straighten out her ways. But was that her idea of life? No, definitely not. It was during a screaming match between the three of them on the subject, that they finally relented and allowed her to accept admission. So far as any one outside of their immediate family or circle of friends knows, Hunter attends a young ladies reform academy in Atlanta. They know nothing of the magical side of her education. If pressed, Michelle and David retort with a story about how they sent their daughter away due to her poor behavior, and their inability to deal with her any longer.

Despite the lies her parents told everyone, she was moderately excited at the prospect of Crescent City. Even if she didn't quite understand it, and didn't quite understand why she was chosen to attend. Not to mention, the fact that realizing that magic was real took some adjusting.

Hunter has attended Crescent City Institute ever since, right up from the bottom, and before long, Hunter came out of her introversion. She was quickly back to her normal self once she began making friends and looking on the brighter side of matters, becoming once again the happy girl whom her brother had known so well. Since puberty, Hunter has even developed some of the strong feminine twist that her mother had wanted her to have so bad growing up. She rarely talks to anyone about her life in Texas, and very few know about her even ever having brother.

When it came time to move on to 9th grade, Rienzi was a clear sorting choice. She couldn't have chosen a better placement herself, and she had never looked back. Rienzi is her home now, and in her eyes, it always will be a part of her, and always be a genuine house for her.

In her years at CCI, Hunter has become a bit notorious for her trouble making and her general silly ways, and just for being herself every single day. If you asked her, she would call herself a local celebrity. If you asked her professors, they would probably say pain in the neck. She keeps up the morale of her house, and intends to keep doing so until the end of her years at school. Graduating for the last time after this year will be bitter sweet, but thanks to interest from the Dallas Shooting Stars quodpot team, she has an idea of what she might want to come next.
