Professor Minerva McGonagall ,
Born on October 4th, she's a witch though sometimes she can be really 'be one'. She been at Hogwarts most of her life, starting at eleven years old and has been there sense. Always too she's been a Gryffindor threw and threw. Having gone from being a simple student in her first year to being a Professor, of Transfiguration, and even the head of her house.
There's always been something 'catty' about her, perhaps its her animagi form the silver tabby cat. With markings around her eyes, like the glasses she always wears in her human form. She's a bit of a 'witch' when it comes to things being head Mistress over Gryffindor house she keeps them all in line. Though she can be a bit of a softy she keeps a tight lead on the children. As she tends to be very serious and stern. And often times gains respect, and fear, from some of her students. She tolerates no talking or silly actions from her students. She has told more than one, "I wonder.. how you expect to gain an idea of my usual teaching methods if you continue to interrupt me? You see, I do not generally permit people to talk when I am talking." She can be cold at times, if she feels people are being stupid or ctyring to be funny aorund her. She has a softer side though one that not many get to see.
Quidditch is a game she always enjoyed, even as a young girl. Maybe it was her catty nature or just her love of the game but either way even still today she loves it.
Besides being a skilled animagi she is able to use the Patronus Charm quiet well able to cast three Patronuses at once, though not in the presence of a Dementor. She too can even use her Patronus as a means of communication, Albus Dumbledore taught her that little trick. She knows the dark curses even though she never formally practiaced the Dark Arts. She has had to cast the Imperius Curse a few times, once on Amycus Carrow, but she never speaks of it.
All around McGonagall is just a simple somewhat 'catty' witch who takes no crap from anyone.

[/b][/color][/center]A few first years nodded some just looked scared. Professor McGonagall let a rare smile creep over her face as she looked at them recalling her first year. Turning quickly on her heel she turned to head intot he great hall. "This way please.. quickly now." She spoke to them as she headed into the great hall. After years of doing this it was second nature to the old woman. For much of her life she'd been in the hallowed halls and on the ground of Hogwarts. While young she had always had her asperations she never dreamed she'd get this far. It please her greatly at her own accomplishments.
"First years, when I call your name you will come up to be sorted." She told them "Ashleigh Andramado" She called. This went on down the list through all the first years. With that done she gave a light smile and a nod then took her place at the professor's table.
