How long has she been at Hogwarts? This is her first year teaching at Hogwarts.
Where is her office located? First floor
Any special abilities? None.
Bio: While she was in school, Rosa Pinto never really knew what she wanted to do as a career. There were many subjects at school that interested her but nothing really called to her. Not wanting to burden her parents, Rosa took a low-paying clerk job at The European Times, a Wizarding newspaper. She worked her way up to being a well-known journalist, traveling all over Europe and eventually the world. Rosa fully enjoyed her travels, getting to see all types of cultures and wildlife. Rosa and her great-niece Iris Pinto covered the recent Triwizard Tournament, where she met Headmistress Persnickety. Rosa had casually mentioned in conversation that she was considering retiring from the newspaper, as traveling was becoming more and more difficult.
Appoline Persnickety wasted no time in offering to find Rosa Pinto a spot at her school, having been a fan of hers for years. The timing was almost clandestine - Professor Sparks, the prior Care of Magical Creatures professor, had just stepped down from her post. Pinto had originally declined the Headmistress's offer, but then over a few weeks realized the mistake she had made and reached out to the Headmistress to accept.

From an early age, she began assisting with this work. Her travels have allowed her to pick up on many different forms of medicine and magic. She is skilled in human, animal, beast, and being healing. Eilidh can also spell-cast in three different languages: Irish, English, and Old-Norse.

Any special abilities? He's a Centaur
Bio: Naos was born under the Gibbous Moon. His mother named him after a blue supergiant, one of the largest visible stars from earth. Due to the alignment of Jupiter, he was destined to lead a philanthropic life. At the age of fifteen, he joined the Peace-Crusades across Europe in order to promote accord between centaurs and humans. Since then, he has joined the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures in order to spread equality among beings, beasts, and spirits. He is pushing to rename the department "Department for the Co-Existence of Magical Creatures." Eilidh met Naos after traveling to the Antrim Mountains, where a small group of centaurs existed on the outskirts of a wizarding village. When a young centaur grew ill, the elder asked the Glas family to assist in healing the child. After days of laborious efforts, the group prevailed. The centaurs threw a celebration under the stars and invited the humans and wizards. Naos caught Eilidh's eye, and they connected at once. They wed in those mountains fourteen years ago, with both Naos' tribe, Eilidh's family, and much of the neighboring wizarding village present.
Professor Devine Sinistra

Age: 34
Favorite Color: White
Patronus: Lightning Bug
Boggart: Blindness

Where is her office located? Next to the Astronomy Classroom in the Astronomy tower
Any special abilities? No
Bio: Devine was shown the magical world of Astronomy at a young age by her mother, whom used to also be the Astronomy professor at Hogwarts back in the day. She was in no way forced by her mother to take the same career path, as it is very apparent that Devine loves the sky and stars even more than her mother did. She has somewhat of a love-hate relationship with the Divination teacher. They are good friends, but she has yet to understand how the positions of the stars can affect fate like Palladino believes.
[Spoiler=Mister Jasper Cassidy][img align=left]https://i.imgur.com/HVJJrhf.png[/img] School Position: Librarian House: Slytherin Age: 31 Favorite Color: Grey Patronus: skunk Boggart: burning books How long has he been at Hogwarts? This is his first year at Hogwarts Where is his office located? In the library Any special abilities? Nope. Bio: Jasper has a bit of a chip on his shoulder. When he was in school he got made fun of for his deep love of books and knowledge. His sole ambition was to be a librarian mainly so he could keep studying. His parents wanted him to do something grander. When Jasper left Hogwarts he did try his hand at curse breaking but he didn’t enjoy it. He was very happy when he got his post at Hogwarts, though he doesn’t care for the students borrowing his books. [/spoiler]
Miss Lindsey Kain
[img align=left]https://i.imgur.com/G1Zlaae.png[/img]
School Position: Caretaker
House: Hufflepuff
Age: 28
Favorite Color: Mauve
Patronus: Peacock
Boggart: Swarm of bees
How long has she been at Hogwarts? 2 years
Where is her office located? Ground floor, just across from the Great Hall.
Any special abilities? None.
Bio: Before she went to Hogwarts, Lindsey Kain didn't have very many friends. Her family lived in a secluded area away from Muggles, and there were not very many wizarding families nearby. To keep herself busy, Lindsey devoured any puzzle, riddle, or game she could play by herself that she could find. Her time at Hogwarts was very different. She made friends quickly and soon found herself not having much time for her solitary puzzles. She found new games and challenges to do with her classmates, but it was never the same. After graduating, she tried a few different jobs, but none of them seem to fit. When she saw that the school was hiring a Caretaker, she decided to give it a shot. Somehow, the subject of puzzles came up in her interview with Mister Burke, and he suggested she try to incorporate challenging the students to games and puzzles into her duties. 'To give their minds a leg up outside of their studies', he had said. He puts on the guise that he isn't approving of her take on the post, but she could see it in his eyes. He's a puzzle and riddle enthusiast too.
Professor Deidra Morgan

Boggart: Fiendfyre
How long has she been at Hogwarts? A little more than 20 years
Where is her office located? Second floor
Any special abilities? None.
Bio: Like many other witches and wizards, Deidra Morgan traveled throughout Europe and parts of Asia after graduating from Hogwarts. She took the time to learn what she could about exotic plants, then brought the knowledge into a shop at the cusp between Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley. Deidra took over as the Herbology professor only 2 years after the Battle of Hogwarts, after Professor Sprout retired. Her shop remains open, but now it is run by her oldest son and his wife. Even though Professor Sprout did a wonderful job at trying to repair the damage the battle did to the grounds, there was still a lot left to do upon Deidra's arrival. Students often ask her if she is a descendant of the pirate Henry Morgan. While she cannot confirm nor deny she is, she likes to lead the students to believe that she is. She has a close friendship with Professor Jade Mathers, though you could never tell from Jade's expressions during their interactions.

Bio: Carlos grew up in a poverty stricken city in Spain, where he learned to speak both Spanish and English fluently, but soon used his amazing skills in vanquishing dark creatures to pay his way around the world as a 'Slayer for Hire'. He has seen and done it all, and is probably one of the most well traveled people to ever attend Hogwarts, despite his hard lot in life growing up. He is married, having saved his wife from a hickypunk twenty-four years earlier, and they have one young daughter that they recently adopted from China.

Bio: Christopher is affectionately called 'Santa' by most of the students of Hogwarts. He's jolly, good-natured, and likes to laugh with a Ho ho ho! He hails from the arctic circle, where he went to school as a young child before moving to England and joining Hogwarts in his 6th year where he was sorted into Gryffindor. He's also very strict about personal space, which is why he took an old classroom as his office. He does not enjoy being touched, except if it's by his wife, 2 children, 6 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.

Boggart: An old hag with her hood up and grey hair hanging down in front of her face.

During that time she has learned 27 different languages including Mermish and Dwarfish. She has also made many friends all over the world, and has become an exceptionally powerful witch. After 22 years of travel, she is ready for a quiet life sharing her knowledge with young witches and wizards. She is a very free spirit, a bit eccentric, and very inquisitive, but she is fiercely loyal to those who have earned it.
Professor Isaac Howard
[img align=left]https://i.imgur.com/4F33w9I.png[/img]
School Position: Transfiguration Professor
House: Hufflepuff
Age: 25
Favorite Color: Orange
Patronus: Antelope
Boggart: Himself under the Imperius Curse
How long has she been at Hogwarts? This is his first year teaching at Hogwarts.
Where is her office located? Second Floor
Any special abilities? None.
Bio: Isaac grew up in the suburbs of Manchester, born to two Muggle parents. As a young child, he started to learn archery, a hobby he still pursues and is very passionate about. When the Hogwarts letter arrived, he was wary of it at first and wondering if it was some kind of prank, but the idea of magic eventually grew on him.
At Hogwarts, he met Kay Jäger and the two became friends in their second year. Their friendship suffered for a few weeks after an unpleasant incident in their fifth year around christmas break. With all the celebrations due to christmas and the excitement for the new year, the two friends forgot about the upcoming full-form when they were running around the Black Lake in the evening to stay in shape. Luckily, even though Kay transformed, Isaac was able to save himself by stunning his friend. However, Isaac was still left with a scar on his left eye and a significant loss of visual acuity. He didn't visit the school matron to not cause any distress for his friend and he never attempted to recover his vision with a spell. Over the years, he accepted his appearance and traded the glasses for a refined looking monocle when he got offered a position in teaching at Hogwarts.
Generally Isaac is a quite inspiring, considerate personality, but he can be standoffish and cheeky as well. He's tall and very interested in staying in shape so it's not unusual to see him going for a run or riding the bicycle he brought from home. Kay often joins him.´ Isaac practises his archery on the training grounds when no lessons are held, but he got told to be exceptionally careful with his arrows.
[spoiler=Professor Jade Mathers][img align=left]https://i.imgur.com/8JzXTRE.png[/img] School Position: Potions Master/Professor House: Gryffindor Age: 59 Favorite Color: Robins Egg Blue Patronus: Fox Boggart: Broken glass scattered around so thick that she can't move from the spot she's standing How long has she been at Hogwarts? 14 years Where is her office located? In the dungeons, just across from the Potions classroom Any special abilities? None. Bio: Jade Mathers is a creature of habit. High tea at 4 o'clock every afternoon with her favorite shortbread biscuits. A book before bed. Lights out by 10 o'clock. Her routine rarely varies, except for when it comes to her students. Knowing that Potions is a difficult subject to keep afloat in, she often allows her students to pester her at any time during the day, as long as she is not teaching and--of course--as long as it doesn't keep her from high tea. Her strict habits are thanks to her mother, who ran a tight household. Jade was one of four brothers and two sisters. Her mother found the best way to keep track of that many children was to impose strict schedules for them. Regardless of the r
