TOMBOY: JAMIE DOES NOT ONLY HAVE A UNISEX NAME, SHE ALSO OFTEN ACTS IN A BOYISH WAY, HATES TO WEAR DRESSES AND LOVES TO CLIMB TREES AND WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER OFTEN GOT INTO FISTFIGHTS WITH HER OLDER TWIN BROTHERS. ONLY RECENTLY, CALL IT PEER PRESSURE, JAMIE HAS DISCOVERED A FEW FEMALE SIDES TO HERSELF. NOW HER HAIR IS A LITTLE MORE WELL KEPT THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS AND SHE HAS STARTED TO USE PERFUME AND ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT BOYS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.
INDEPENDENT: JAMIE MIGHT HAVE A HANDICAP, AND ONE THAT PUTS HER IN SERIOUS DISADVANTAGE IN CLASSES TO BOOT, BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN SHE LIKES TO BE REDUCED TO IT: SHE JUST CAN’T SPEAK, SHE IS PERFECTLY FINE IN DOING OTHER THINGS AND HATES IT WHEN SOMEONE TRIES TO BE NICE, BUT IN EFFECT SHOWS HE DOESN’T TRUST HER TO DO SOME TASKS PROPERLY. JAMIE IS ALSO QUITE COMPETITIVE WHEN IT COMES TO THINGS SHE CAN DO OR LIKES, LIKE QUIDDITCH OR NONVERBAL MAGIC.

MOTHER:
VICTORIA FROBISHER
FATHER:
OLIVER WOOD
SIBLINGS:
THEODORE WOOD, NATHANIEL WOOD, younger sister
HISTORY:
Jamie was born as the third child to the couple Oliver and Victoria Wood. Victoria for some reason had been convinced that her third child would also be a boy and had settled on the name Jamie, which she absolutely adored. But surprise, surprise, she was blessed with a girl and though she didn't want to let go of the name, she was more than happy not to add another male child to the twins she already had quite a handful to deal with. Jamie on the other hand was not a demanding child at all, from the beginning she never cried, and the reason for that was found out soon enough: some part seemed to be missing in her larynx, which prevented her to produce sounds.
Oliver then told his wife about his grandmother, Seona MacKenzie who had died a few years ago. She as well had been mute since birth, so it had to be a dysfunction running in his family, but appearing seldomly enough. After the initial shock was over, Victoria accepted the challenge of having a mute child and even took it with a considerable amount of humor, saying the twins made noise for three anyway. She insisted on doing sign language courses so she would be able to give her daughter means to communicate with her family members. The two elder brothers saw it as an exciting game and all in all Jamie was quite sheltered in her family and didn't feel left out or anything, but outside of her little happy world there were always those who picked on her disability and showed their mean sides to her.
From an early age, Jamie became very attached to her father, even though he wasn't around often and pursued his Quidditch career fervently. Jamie learned to love Quidditch as well and couldn't understand her brother who was afraid of heights. Flying was a skill you never needed a voice for, but rather body control and that skill was overdeveloped in the girl. She soon found out how easy it was for her to be one with her broom because she noticed the tiny nuances of body language and weight shifting a broom would respond to. One day, she decided, she would become a professional Quidditch player as well, no matter how much her mother seemed to dislike that special career.
Being the quiet one in the house and sometimes overlooked had its downsides however. More than once, Jamie unwittingly got caught in a fight between her parents, who had completely forgotten her presence and started to accuse each other, particularly her mother accusing her father for never being there when she needed him, shoving off the responsibility of twins and a mute child on her shoulders only. Even though it was of course not meant that way, Jamie misunderstood these accusations as being the true reason for Victoria's overwhelmedness with everything and so the gap between her and her mother got even deeper. One day after the last argument where those words had been said, Jamie ran from home, leaving a note behind that she 'didn't want to be a nuisance and would try to find some less strained person to look after her until she was old enough to get a job.' She was nine at that time. It was Oliver who found her and brought her back home, explaining to her that she was by no means the reason for the seperation that was about to ensue.
Still, in her heart of hearts Jamie never could look at her mother the same way, and she rather stayed at her father's house, even though he was often away with his games. When her Hogwarts letter came, Jamie could not in the least believe it. Weren't words needed to cast spells? She didn't know that Victoria, in a fervent attempt to gain her daughter's love again, had had several talks with the Headmaster, adjusting a few necessary conditions that would allow Jamie to attend classes in the most normal way possible, which also included special extra lessons being given to her in nonverbal magic from her first year on, like her great-grandmother had been given. The young girl knew very well that this would not be a walk in the park, but her fighting spirit was roused by this challenge. She WANTED this! She wanted to prove to everyone and most of all to herself that she was a good witch and would not lag behind too much.
On arriving in Hogwarts, she was sorted into Gryffindor, like her father had been and like none of her siblings were, which filled her with unfathomable pride. Of course there were those not looking in favour of having a mute girl in their midst and even used her disability to play the most cruel jokes on her, but Jamie bit her lips, raised her chin and pushed through - and plotted revenge in her very own silent way. The cedar wand that had chosen her said it right: Jamie was not a person easily crossed, and even if you wouldn't expect it from her, she had her ways to fight back, aided by her ability of using spells without words before her peers could even think about that kind of magic. She made few, but at the same time very close friends and was content with her life, just the summer holidays were always awkward enough, having to divide her time between two households. During Hogwarts time she stayed close to her siblings, since they were the only ones she could have an un-tedious, quick conversation with as they knew her sign language like their mother tongue.
In her third year, she finally worked up the courage to apply for the Gryffindor Quidditch team in the same position her father had been holding so many years ago: Keeper. When she was accepted, she felt like inwardly soaring beyond the clouds for several weeks, it was one of her best times she can think of, and this moment she even nowadays uses to cast a Patronus spell. Once again, her aptitude of reading body language came in exceptionally handy, and her skill of warding off penalties soon became infamous, since she almost always could guess the right hoop and what was dekeing and what was not. Classes though, especially Transfiguration and Charms stayed her Achilles Heel, and the thought of having to pass her OWLS at the end of this year is enough to give her nightmares.
