Abigail Blenkinsop . 16 . Younger Sister . half-blood . Maisie Williams
Abigail is currently the youngest of the Blenkinsop siblings. Jake has always adored his little sisters and would give them world if he could. He watched them like a hawk in their younger days when they were still learning to tend the farm and was sad to leave them behind when he went off to school.
Of course Abigail is not much of a little girl any more, she is a sixth year after all, but Jake is not ready to see grow up just yet. Jake is about four years older than her so there is a bit of an age gap. He loves her to pieces but can be a little bit too over protective.
There is a lot of freedom when it comes to Abigail, her house, her personality, and even her name (I just needed a name for the app so I wouldn't get so lost later on), but please use Maisie Williams! (Game of Thrones Cast Spam!) She doesn't have to be into animals, but she does live on a farm and has to work with them on breaks.

Vera Blenkinsop . 19 . Younger Sister . Squib
Vera is a very special person to Jake. Vera was eight when she became a part of the Blenkinsop family, her own parents giving her up because she'd shown no signs of magic. Jake had no idea what a squib was till Vera came along. For the longest time he held on hope that she would show magic and be able to come to school with him, of course it never happened but Jake never loves Vera any less.
Jake has always thought of Vera as his sister even though she was adopted, he knows family is a bond much stronger than just blood. He is fiercely protective of her, possibly a bit too much so because he worries about her getting into danger and not having a way out. She ended up trapped in one of the barns after it caught fire and hut himself in order to save her.
Her face is Sophie Turner.

MATTHEW ERI BLENKINSOP . 21 . Older Brother . HALF-BLOOD
Matthew was the oldest of the Blenkinsop sibilings that was untill the summer before his fourth year when Wyatt joined the family. Matthew was born eleven months before Jake (so in April), while barely a year apart they did not have to endure going to Hogwarts at the same time. Jake was upset to watch his brother leave but he got over it.
These two would have had a strong bond growing up, not to say they didn't have their spats at all, they constantly bickered with one another but Matthew was still always there to look after Jake.
Matthew has a lot open about him, his alumnus, his job, his personality, you are even welcome to change his name! But Richard Madden is a must. (Just Look at these two.)

wyatt Blenkinsop . 22 . Older Brother/Cousin . HALF-BLOOD
Wyatt is the oldest of the Blenkinsop children, though by blood he is their cousin. His mother died at his birth and he was raised by his dragon training father, that was until a dragon got the better of him. Wyatt was about fifteen when his Uncle and Aunt took him in. (Barnabas is Wyatt's Father's brother).
After Matthew graduated he and Wyatt went hiking in the Swiss Alps so its likely that the two are rather close, this was also when Jake and Vera were involved in the barn fire.
Much about Wyatt is up to you, name, job, all of it, just keep in mind what sort of family the Blenkinsop's are! The face is Iwan Rheon (and if you were a fan of misfits I have PAXTON POLARIS PRESCOTT who I can offer up as a ship!)

Catherine Blenkinsop . 46 . Mother . HALF-BLOOD . michelle fairley
Catherine Blenkinsop is the matriarch of the family. She has been married to Barnabas for nearly twenty-three years (and its likely she has been with him for even longer). She is the reason that Barnabas decided to give up the dangerous lifestyle of dragon training and settle down. She is the sort of woman who will welcome you into the home and feed you with out a second thought. She values the simple life the Blenkinsop's lead and worries about all her children.
But there are two sides to every coin, no matter how warm and welcoming Catherine is she is not a witch to cross. She works hard every day to maintain the farm just like everyone else.
You are welcome to do your own take on her of course, just please keep in mind this is a very welcoming family that can't seem to close the door on anyone who seems like they need help. Use Michelle Fairley and I will cry tears of joy! And like the others, you are welcome to change her name!

Barnabas Blenkinsop . 48 . Father . HALF-BLOOD . Sean Bean
Barnabas Blenkinsop is the head of the Blenkinsop Farm. He has been raising and tending hippogriffs for the past twenty one years. Before that he trained dragons, but marriage and children brought him back to life on the farm.
Barnabas is a stubborn man with a large heart. Many of the people who tend his farm are those who he has taken in during their times of need. He has always felt hard work is what build character which is why even his own children were put to work once they were old enough to take on chores.
He knows a great deal about the dragon training business, and has even been a tutor to some who were looking to make their way into the field.
Just over a year ago Barnabas took ill for six months and was unable to tend the farm, his illness was partly what drove his son Jake back home.
As always you are welcome to get creative with the details of his past just let me know what is going on!

Other Family
These requests are going to be a little more open than the ones above as these are people who are related to Barnabas and Catherine Blenkinsop.
--- Blenkinsop . 14 . cousin . half-blood . Isaac Hempstead Wright
(To make things simple I am going to call this character Isaac for now)
Isaac is the younger cousin of Barnabas' children, he should be a third or a fourth year (so he has either just turned fourteen or he is soon to be fifteen). His name and house are going to be up to you, personality wise I could see him being much like his cousins (that being said there are a number of gryffindors in this family so it is likely that he too could fall among the lions - though Matthew was almost sorted into ravenclaw)
Since Isaac was an only child for much of his life it is likely that Baranbas' children are more like brothers and sisters to him instead of just your typical cousins since the family is rather close to one another. Other than that Isaac is a blank slate!

--- Blenkinsop . Early to Mid 40s . aunt. OPEN-BLOOD . Lena Headey
(To make things simple I am going to call this character Lena for now)
Lena is the wife of Barnabas' younger brother.
I do not have too many ideas for Lena but I would love to have some more dynamic to the Blenkinsop family!
Its highly likely that Lena plays a role on the family farm, possibly even a healer. There is a lot of freedom with this character, I am just a sucker for big extended family plots! Her name will be up to you along with her blood status, just keep in mind what sort of family the Blenkinsop's are (in other words just don't make her a blood bigot)

--- Blenkinsop . Early to Mid 40s . uncle. half-blood . Joseph Mawle
(To make this easier I am going to call this character Joseph instead of ---)
Joseph is the younger brother of Barnabas and brother-in-law Catherine, husband to 'Lena', uncle to many, and father to 'Isaac'. It highly likely he works on the Blenkinsop farm with his older brother as it is very much a family based farm, sure they have some hired hands but the Blenkinsop's have been farmers for generations. They most likely he and his family live on an adjacent plot of land keeping close to their family.
There is a lot of freedom with Joseph, I personally would just love to add more family dynamic to the Blenkinsop's.
His name is up to you.
