Personality: Lorelei, or Lori as she prefers to be called, is a chipper and compassionate woman. Some may consider her slightly eccentric. She is always willing to lend a helping hand to a good friend or a complete stranger even if it means practically giving them the shirt from her back. Always willing to try something new one will never find her skirting away from change but rather diving in headfirst to check it out. Social is definitely a word that can be used to describe her, for when Lori is not amidst a throng of fellow humans she seeks the companionship of her many pets. Lori tends to call people she’s on good terms with ‘hun’ regardless of their gender or the strength of said relationship with this person.



Your Story Please?
Lorelei was born to parents George and Elenore Maitland, in the United States of America. She has two older siblings and one younger, all of which she did her best to care for when they needed her. Her childhood was largely uneventful despite the fact she was the product of two muggleborns. At the age of eleven she received her letter to attend Salem University. Lori had an excellent two years there, and was deeply saddened when her father’s job led them to move to England when she was 13. After relocating, Lorelei was transferred to attend Hogwarts and was sorted into Hufflepuff House. She wasn’t exactly a top-notch student, though did extremely well in Care of Magical Creatures and Divination.

Unsure what to do with her life, Lorelei has taken up several odd jobs, though primarily in the area of taking care of animals and children. Seven years ago the witch ran into fellow West Sussex resident Nicole Archer and her stepdaughter, Michelle Archer. It took a little while to gain the military woman’s trust but not long afterwards Lori found herself with the steady career of watching over the child while Nicole went to work in the evenings. And considering Nicole declared herself as not much of a cook... Lori has even taken to preparing the odd meal as a surprise so they needn’t order takeout.

Her favorite hobby is rescuing and/or breeding animals, and once healthy or old enough donates or sells them to the Magical Menagerie. That is, of course, assuming that Lorelei can part with them in the first place. Her home is practically one part human abode and one part petting zoo, and at one point had in fact once been a small farm.
