Describe their past history : Nicole Amber was born in the United States. While her father, Andrew Callaghan, had been visiting the country from Scotland, he'd met a pretty young, muggle model named Genevieve. The two were only 19. They had what could only be described as a summer romance after both spent several months living on one of Florida's beaches. Andrew was working for his father's business at the time and had to return home in the fall, but he never stopped thinking of Genevieve, whom he'd taken to calling Viv. While the two should have moved on, they attempted to make a long distance relationship work. It quickly crumbled and both were left loving somebody they couldn't have.
It was several years before the two crossed paths again. Andrew had only just recently gained success in a popular clothing store he'd helped his friend, Amanda Whitney, to start. He was in charge of the business portion while Amanda designed clothes and organized promotions. She was in search of models to participate in a photoshoot. It was pure chance that led Genevieve to the shoot, though some might call it fate. Genevieve, who had moved to London with a friend of hers in hopes of gaining more modeling jobs. It was her friend who was supposed to be a part of the photoshoot for 'Brilliant'. When she had to rush back to the States upon hearing about her grandfather's death, Genevieve was recommended to fill her position. Some may call it fate that Andrew had to stop by the shoot to discuss something with Amanda.
Their reunion was hardly perfect though. It was about a year before the two finally got past the bit of awkwardness that had taken over their newfound friendship. Amanda and Genevieve had grown rather close and Genevieve had even began designing clothes for 'Brilliant'. Genevieve soon decided her adventures in the UK were coming to a close and that she had to return home, where her mother was becoming increasingly ill. Amanda, who couldn't bear to part from her designing partner, decided that it would be the perfect time to expand 'Brilliant' to the United States. Genevieve and Amanda moved, Andrew tagging along to help set up the new stores. It wasn't until after Genevieve's mother had died that the two managed to reconnect. When Andrew found Genevieve crying after just learning that her mother was truly gone, he comforted her. Something changed in their struggling relationship that day. Several months of friendship later, the two began to date again. Two years of a steady relationship later, Andrew proposed. They got married in October with Amanda as the maid of honor and best "man". By February they had learned Genevieve was two months pregnant. The pair was ecstatic when they learned they were expecting twins.
Their childrens' births was a rare occurance. Nikolaus Scott was born August 31 just two minutes before midnight. After another 20 minutes, on September 1, Nicole Amber was born. The family of four spent four years living in New York City, where 'Brilliant' had set up their headquarters. They had what seemed like a perfect life there. They lived in a beautiful, large apartment with a well-known model and fashion designer and rich business man. Amanda was like a second mother to the twins. It was with a heavy heart that after a rough experience with paparazzi while out, Genevieve and Andrew decided to move their family back to Scotland. Genevieve, though she continued to send designs to Amanda, quit modeling to become a housewife and mum. Andrew continued heading 'Brilliant'. As Genevieve became increasingly frustrated with Andrew's refusal to spend more time at home, their marriage began to struggle, though they hid it from their young children. Mean while, Nick and Nicole (who had taken to calling herself Nikki), grew up happy and oblivious to their parents relationship problems.
When the twins were old enough, Genevieve decided to enroll them in muggle primary school. It was here that Nikki's dyslexia came to light. While Nick sped through reading, she found herself struggling with it. This was discouraging to the young girl who constantly competed with her brother.
When he turned eleven on August 31, Nick got his letter to Hogwarts. Their parents had already contacted Hogwarts, where Andrew had attended school, to explain the twins' situation. Nick, being born on the final day of acceptance, was allowed to attend. Nikki, being born on September 1, was not. The day after turning eleven, Nikki's birthday, Nick left for Hogwarts. The two, who were inseparable, were apart for the first time. Nikki was left with a jealous rage at being born a mere twenty-two minutes after her brother yet not being able to start school at the same time as him, though they'd been in the same year during muggle primary school.
It wasn't until Nikki turned twelve that she was finally able to attend Hogwarts, though she'd gotten her letter on her eleventh birthday. She had spent the year the Nick was away preparing. She'd been working on her reading once again and had already read through all the first year books and even some of the second year books.
When she arrived at the school, the Sorting Hat didn't have to think twice before sorting her into Gryffindor. This upset Nikki at first, her brother was in Slytherin, but she quickly got over it. Nikki loved school. She made plenty of friends and even did well in her classes, surprising to her as school had never been her strong suit. When she and Nick came home for the Summer Holidays later that year, it became obvious their parents were no longer the same. What had once been a perfect relationship was virtually over. Though their father spent his time at their home while they were there, it became obvious that he was no longer living in it. They spent much of that summer worrying about their parents over whispered conversations in the dead of night. Their parents relationship remained that way until just after Nikki had left for her fifth year. When she and Nick got off the Hogwarts Express, Andrew had an arm around Genevieve. That was one of the best Christmases of Nikki's life, though her happiness was short lived.
Just a few weeks before she and Nick were due to return home from school, Andrew and Genevieve died in a mall shooting. The couple had been back in the States where they had another store opening. A man had opened fire during a promotional event they'd been attending in a rather nice restaurant. He'd killed not only their parents, but three other people. Two more, including Amanda, were injured before he shot himself.
The two were permitted a week to organize a double funeral, though they spent most of that time with Amanda allowing Andrew's parents to handle the rest. Amanda, fortunately, survived, though she lost one of her legs due to infection.
Nikki and Nick coped with their parents' deaths in very different ways. Nikki became more cautious. Where as she had been more open before, she pulled back. Nick did the complete opposite. He became reckless. Over the summer he began coming home drunk, getting into fist fights. On more than one occasion, Nikki had to clean up messy wounds he received. Meanwhile, Amanda had moved in with them, though she became more of a recluse. Nikki's stress began to grow. Between making sure Amanda was comfortable and keeping her brother from getting himself killed, she never had any time to grieve herself. Her emotions began to bottle up and they still are, though now she's back in Hogwarts.
Who are their parents : Andrew Callaghan (deceased), Genevieve (Wilson) Callaghan (deceased)
Do they have any siblings? : @nick
Is their any history of mental illness in their family? : Nikki has dyslexia, a trait she inherited from her mum's side of the family.
-PERSONAL INFORMATION-
What do they love? : Nikki loves her family, though Nick is the only one left at this point. She enjoys running and in the past used it as a stress relief. At one time she thrived on adventure, but after her parents died she became more cautious of people and danger. Slowly that love is beginning to creep back out.
What do they hate? : Nikki can't stand the fact that her mother gave her and Nick such similar names. She was basically cursing them with the label 'twins' forever. She also can't stand people who are too cowardly to live life. Instead they blame everything that goes wrong on others.
Have they ever loved anyone in a romantic way? : She's had a couple of boyfriends, but nothing serious.
What's their most traumatic memory? : When she'd arrived in the United States where her parent's bodies were, she and Nick were given the option to see them. The funeral was going to be a closed casket before her parents were cremated, so it was the only chance she would get. Nick had opted out, but Nikki had decided she wanted to see her parents one last time. What she saw was terrifying. Andrew wasn't quite as bad for Nikki. For most of her life he'd been disconnected from her. Her mother had always been there for her. It wasn't the hole in her mum's stomach that was terrifying to see. It was her mother's face, that had always had a smile on it, lifeless and pale.
What's their happiest memory? : The last Christmas she had with her parents. They were all happy again. Andrew was actually living in the house. She remembered sneaking down for a glass of water one night only to see her parents slow dancing around the kitchen. Nikki had sat hidden, watching as her mother laughed at something her father said. It was then that she felt like her family was complete once again.
Describe their personality : Nikki has never been one to have loads of friends. She chooses a couple and focuses in on them. She's incredibly loyal and fiercely protective of those she keeps closest. School has never been her thing, but she has the determination to overcome it. She's an independent source of fire and isn't afraid to stand up for herself and others. She's adventurous and has been known to explore the castle and grounds after bed. She's terrified of showing others her weak side, instead refusing to talk about anything going on in her life that might cause her to spill everything, including tears.
Describe their personality flaws : Nikki bottles up her emotions until they all explode at once. She's becoming especially dangerous now, a few months after her parents were killed. Since her parent's deaths she's also become increasingly cautious, something which stifles her personality from shining through.
What would a stranger's first impression of them be? : A strikingly beautiful girl with a loud personality to match it.
How would you, the writer, describe them? : A scared little girl who won't let others in. She doesn't understand herself leading her to not allow people to get to know her.
Any special magical abilities? : Though Nikki is dyslexic, she makes up for it in magical talent. Magic has always come incredibly easy to her.
Any special skills? : Other than being an insanely good runner, none. Nikki knows how to play Quidditch, but she never tried out for the team.
