Hey gang! Katie here with my sixth character! What am I thinking???
This is Sandford Owsley, who typically goes by Sandy. He's a pureblood kiddo from a magically-isolated island off the coast of Washington, a Ribbonfin senior (Big Fish!), the president of the Boating Club (insert fish jokes here), and a reserve member of the Quidditch team.
Concept: Optimistic animist and helpful busybody out to heal the world.
Classes: Charms, Herbology, History of Magic, Outdoor Education, Potions, Magical Rudiments, Pre-Healer Studies
Clubs: Boating (President), Crafting, LARP, Outdoor Exploration, Quidditch (Reserve)
Sandy is an optimistic and friendly boy that's largely focused on healing and health (physical, mental, and spiritual!) because of experiences with his grandmother and her long-term health problems. He's an encouraging caretaker-type that can sometimes be a little too nosy and a little too pushy but always means well. If you're his friend, getting him to mind his own business can be difficult. But he'll try. If he has to.
He feels that he has a ~spiritual~ connection to nature and believes that everything is connected and that everything has an energy and a soul that can impact the things around it, so ~balance~ is very important. While he isn't likely to trap anyone in a corner and talk philosophy, he may very earnestly tell them to carry this piece of carnelian in their pocket if they need a pick-me-up because it will stimulate their inner star. Don't worry about it. What this means more practically is that he always wants to be outside if he can (he's especially fond of the water, obviously!) and that he takes most things in stride because the universe has got this, guys.

Other Stuff:
- Sandy isn't a naturally bright student. He works hard and he does well enough, but he's better at things that require hands-on work/practice and social skills than anything academic. He's a solid B-student in everything but Potions and Pre-Healer Studies, where he manages to be a low A-student. He makes himself study but he's not a fan.
- He cooks! But he's a vegetarian and a health-food nut, so...you know. A lot of people might not want to come anywhere near his cooking. He also likes spice. A lot. Is this even edible to anyone but him?
- He's got fancy MACUSA parents with fancy MACUSA jobs! While they don't drag their children to more functions than they need to for the sake of image, Sandy's certainly not a stranger to other MACUSA kids and he knows how to conduct himself at a fancy party.
- During sophomore year, Sandy dated Eileen! It was very much an opposites-attract situation and they seemed pretty happy until Eileen abruptly dumped him. Whoops? He's over it but still has a soft spot for the Coppertale. If she calls, he'll probably come running.
- Because he can't swim all year (horrible but true!), he does other things to stay fit too. This includes things like running and lifting weights, but he's also been doing Taekwondo for a number of years. He's quite good but he's got no interest in fighting. It's for health, guys! He also plays Quidditch! Though, maybe not that well, since it took him four years to get a reserve spot. He's still quite happy about it, though.
