Basic Info| Name: | Rita Skeeter |
|---|---|
| Birthdate: | 11-15 |
| Location: | London, United Kingdom |
BioPersonality: Rita is nosy and good at persuading people to her side - a natural for reporting. Unfortunately, she's also got a love of causing chaos and inciting trouble, and sometimes fabricates a little tiny bit in order to get the reaction she wants from the masses. She has a bit of a skewed concept of right and wrong, in that she sees no difference whatsoever, only word count, pay, and publicity. In dealing with people, she is assertive and pushy. She tends to frighten people a bit, and most shy away from her person. She isn't a very good listener.
Biography: Rita was born in 1951 to modest wizarding parents. When she was 11, she received the usual acceptance letter, and eagerly packed off to Hogwarts. She was Gryffindor in her time at school. Not a very well liked Gryffindor - she spent a large amount of her time not associating with housemates, but with Slytherins and the occasional Hufflepuff. When she got out of Hogwarts, she started a career in bartending, because she loved to hear gossip, but most customers were repulsed by her, and she was quickly fired from any jobs she won. Within two months of her Hogwarts graduation, she turned to Witch Weekly on a whim and was hired as an advice columnist. Despite her personality difficulties, she soon became a success. The Daily Prophet offered her a salary increase, provided she come work for them as advice columnist, and she accepted. After a few months more of her agony aunt job, she made the leap to reporting. At first, she had trouble finding worthwhile stories, but one day, her articles came in sprinkled with exciting quotes and daring accusations. Nobody could figure out what had changed, but whatever it was, it sure sold...
