BOGGART Keeva is terrified of dying alone and without knowing the love of others. She’s felt alone all her life, among her own family, and couldn’t bear the thought of feeling so alone ever again.
MIRROR OF ERISED Keeva’s greatest desire is to one day be accepted completely by her family for what she is, and not be hidden away by her parents and siblings for fear of their faith.
PATRONUS Miniature Greyhound. They are fairly temperamental, and though they are generally laid back and friendly, they can be provoked to serious anger. Keeva identifies with the abuse and neglect they suffer.
PERSONALITY Keeva was rather repressed as a child, but has since taken the time to come out as quite a boisterous person. Her behaviour at school seemed to be a defense mechanism. She overcompensated for her inability to defend and protect herself at home (as a child) by being highly defensive and over-protective in school. Now, as a adult, Keeva is very brave, slightly headstrong, and she is not afraid to defend anyone in need, but this often leads her to lose her restraint and do some things that are, in retrospect, much less than intelligent. Without provocation she is generally very quiet and demure, pleasant and cheery. When angry,she displays a classic Irish temper, in that she is extremely passionate, though if amends are made, her anger is short lived.
Because she is muggleborn, Keeva does not tolerate pureblood supremacy. Most of her indiscretion and fighting as a child was related to blood status. She is not very forgiving, and she does not believe that people can change without showing progress.

HISTORY
Caoimhe Quinn MacManus was born on the 1st of January in the rural town of Roscommon, in the Irish County Roscommon. The first daughter in a religious muggle family of 7, Keeva (as she would almost exclusively be known by the anglicized spelling of her name) has not had it easy.

Being the first daughter in a Catholic family, Keeva has been under scrutinous eyes her whole life. Her mother was a strict woman who was not afraid to beat her children, and she did so regularly to instill a fear of consequence in them. When young Keeva showed signs of being a witch, unexplainable things occurred, and she was given extra hidings for “lying.” Years passed in that way, until the signs were too stark to ignore, and her family was forced to keep her hidden at home to avoid humiliation and derision (or worse) from the community.

When Keeva’s 11th birthday passed with little celebration, she received her Hogwarts letter, and the family immediately jumped at the chance of sending her away for her emotional and physical safety. Little did they know that their readiness to be rid of her would lead her to feel incredibly lonely during the summers.

As the years passed, however, with her increasing control came her family’s acceptance. They were willing to let her live normally, and she even gained the love and protection of her brothers and father, and the confidence and impetus to prevent similar neglect and abuses from happening to others.

She made it through school fairly normally, her only indiscretion being in her secretive studies of animagi. She succeeded in becoming one, though she did not register. At the time just prior to the Second Wizarding War, she worked in the Hogsmeade sweet shop, Honeydukes, living and spending much of her time in the village.

After living in the village for three years, she became acquainted with an Auror, Maximilian Porell, who would unfortunately drag her into dangerous situations involving Death Eaters. Growing close to the Auror, she eventually joined the Order of the Phoenix, upon his recommendation.

When the Ministry was taken over, Keeva went on the run, leaving everyone and everything behind. She did not come out of hiding until she found her family, all muggles, threatened. She chose to defend them, regardless of their past together, and was joined by the Max, and after successfully repelling the attack, she properly joined the war, participating in the Battle of Hogwarts from start to finish.

After the war ended, she went on the marry Max, and became the new professor of Transfiguration. As Mrs.Porell, she bore four children, two of each gender with one set of twins.
