[img align=left]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/Caretaker.png[/img]It's the last challenge of the term, kiddos! Are you ready?
I know we've opened up all the past challenges to those who haven't had an opportunity to partake in them, however I couldn't help myself! One more challenge, that's all I ask.
This week's theme is the Hogwarts Founders.
Do your best rendition of Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, or Salazar Slytherin. What better way to show homage to a house (whether it be yours or not) than to emulate the person it was modeled after?
Some rules for this challenge. 1.) NO SCHOOL UNIFORMS. 2.) You do not have to choose the corresponding founder for your house. You can choose ANY of the founders. 3.) Since not much is known about the founders' looks, you are free to do your own interpretation of how you think he or she would look. The more creative, the better! 4.) Bonus points will be awarded to anyone who fully captures the founder's personality! 5.) Please add the name of the founder to your post, just in case it isn't obvious.
Each member may only submit one avatar, and each avatar to successfully adhere to the challenge rules and theme shall be awarded 10 House Points!
This challenge will end on Wednesday, October 28th at 11:59PM!
A note for this challenge: Since the share feature of the Wardrobe isn't currently working, please either wear your avatar or save it as an image and upload it to post here! I recommend either using tinypic.com or imgur.com if you don't want to make an account. If you want a place you can make an account at, I would recommend photobucket.com!
I'd like to submit my current HA as Rowena Ravenclaw
this is my version of Helga Hufflepuff.
She is younger here than projected in the series (she hasn't acquired her plumpness either)
if you know where i can credit to them now, please let me know

Young Salazar Slytherin[/b]]
He had heavy brows set upon his angular, expressionless face, which made him look stern and unapproachable. In actuality, he simply had a rather unusual sense of humour - but when someone stirred his mirth, his laugh was rich and musical, his smile crooked yet genuine.
He had a strange, distant manner about him; many saw him as mysterious, cold and aloof. He had heard them whispering. They said that the locket was from his parents, whom he murdered as a child. That his blood was as pure as the silver that adorned him, while his magic was as dark as his robes. That he spoke to snakes. All knew that it was uncomfortable to meet his piercing gaze. Those closest to him understood that - when he fixed his sharp emerald eyes upon you - he was appraising you, calculating your value.
He was resourceful. He knew with absolute certainty that everybody had value. He also believed that those who lacked blood purity were prone to inherent flaws, undermining their worth. More than that; he saw real danger in integrating with non-wizard society. Yes, he thought those without pure blood were lesser. An unpopular view, even then.
But he didn't mind being unpopular. He was used to ruffling feathers, priding himself on his ability to remain true to his own rules. Even if those he trusted disapproved. No, he didn't mind being held with negativity in the minds of the masses. At least they had heard of him at all.
In the right hands, infamy can be a powerful tool.

Rowena Ravenclaw
Rowena Ravenclaw, as I envision her. My pet, Rowena Ravenclaw approves. :'D
Alexa Bristow for Hufflepuff ♥
Godric Gryffindor, check it.
Here is a young Godric Gryffindor in is early twenties maybe. I´d imagine him as arrogant and cocky at that time. In this picture he is attending a magical/royal ball.

Oh, hello dear, are you lost? This is the Hufflepuff section. You must have taken a right at the second twist of the staircase. Or you're up to something. Gryffindors usually are. You're sorry about the cup? chuckles Do you know you're the first one who's ever said that?
As a reward, let me tell you a little secret. All the magic had gone out of that cup a long time before the dark forces got a hold of it. You see, I was sitting on Godric's lap one night, and sharing wine from it. Your mouth's open, dear. Surely you didn't think I got to be so kind and tolerant on magic alone. Oh no, it's romance that's the greatest magic, and Godric...well, let's say he needed a chance to drop one sword and use another. chuckles
How cute, you're blushing. Are you sure you weren't mis-sorted? You'd fit right in. But I digress. Anyway, I was sitting on his lap, and he reminded me that the only time I didn't spill magic out of that cup was when it had wine in it. He was right, you know. I never wasted good wine. So, I put all the magic in this little copper bag. Some day, a Hufflepuff doing a really good job of cleaning will find it. In the meantime, I'll just go back to being a jolly protective spirit. Here's a little "ghost kiss" to take with you. You've got a lot of curiosity along with that bravery. You'll make a great Auror.
Run along now. Don't miss curfew!

I tried to create her in what would be the almost correct clothing of her time,
( silver - House Ravenclaw )
Rowena Ravenclaw
Godric Gryffindor
Some interesting facts:
☆Godric Gryffindor was known for welcoming muggleborns to join his home. He believed their magical abilities to be just as valuable and powerful as purebloods'. In doing so, he stood up to his friend Salazar Slytherin, who opposed this matter.
☆He was rumored to be "the best duelist of his time."
☆He grew up in Godric's Hollow, where Harry's family lived when he was a baby.
☆Godric Gryffindor's hat was enchanted to create the sorting hat, which has been used to sort students since the creation of Hogwarts.

Your caption for Helga Hufflepuff gave me chills! It's wonderful.
🌸Seeking:
Oh, thank you. Seemed like she needed a bit of backstory to liven her up!

This is my cosplay of a young Helga Hufflepuff. She is gathering eggs and vegetables to make a meal for a poor family who lives in a nearby village. The children of the impoverished witch have picked wildflowers for her. Helga already has a stew bubbling magically in a cauldron outdoors. She is delighted with the savory smells lingering in the air.
