OWL Exams
xxxxx⇾Astronomy ~ {A}
Tzuki tried very hard in a class that relied entirely on “please find the giant red ball through your telescope”. She struggled through her first three years in the class. She did acceptably on everything that did not involve a practical, but listing off facts about balls in space wasn’t very meaningful and she had no doubt she’d forget them all the moment the exam was over.
xxxxx⇾Charms ~ {E}
Despite lots of the charms offering a visual element, Tzuki really liked the class. She loved to learn all the spells and what they did, even if they'd have no great impact on her life (Colovaria who?). She studied hard, and despite not quite reaching perfection, she did her best, and that was good for her.
xxxxx⇾Defence Against the Dark Arts ~ {O}
Having been raised to allow herself to be protected, Tzuki decided to make sure she'd always be able to protect herself. Not that she didn't trust people around to keep her safe, but she wanted to make sure that she would always be able to be independent. This philosophy drove her to study extra hard and do study sessions to guarantee her a good grade in the class.
xxxxx⇾Herbology ~ {O}
Tzuki rather enjoyed Herbology class. Not only did the professors make sure she was just as able to work along in class, but they helped teach strategies should she be on her own. With the extra work (and admittedly hanging out with the Hill sisters), Tzuki breezed by on her exam.
xxxxx⇾History of Magic ~ {EE}
Despite the subject being fascinating, Tzuki couldn't help her mind wandering in class. It was far more fun to imagine the otherwise normal people as mythological heroes, gods and goddesses on some plane above normal humanity. She did a good job on the exam, but she didn't particularly enjoy the class.
xxxxx⇾Potions ~ {O}
Tzuki wasn’t afraid to get her hands dirty and proved very adroit at general potions technique–even if cutting always seemed to frighten someone, she was calm, collected, and her work was neat and precisely done. She worked hard at potions theory and found that she put things together in her head in a way that others simply did not. Usually her biggest concern in potions was just having a trustworthy friend who could read labels, check colors, or help measure something.
xxxxx⇾Transfiguration ~ {EE}
Tzuki had a bit of struggle in the class, since turning objects into others that she may not have encountered proved a bit tricky. Luckily, people seemed willing to help explain the end result, earning the ability to do.... pretty good in class. Things weren't always necessarily right, but they did match descriptions pretty dang well.
~~~~~~~~~~~
xxxxx⇾Care of Magical Creatures ~ {O}
Unlike in DADA, the creatures in CoMC were (generally) friendly and not dangerous to interact with, allowing Tzuki a much closer interaction with them. She had a natural gift with snakes as it was, and enjoyed getting to know other creatures. Creatures were vivid and salient, and even if she couldn’t go about petting every one of them, she could at least make little origami creatures to pet!
xxxxx⇾Ghoul and Ghost Studies ~ {EE}
Tzuki was fascinated by ghouls and ghosts after chatting with the Fat Friar her first year. Learning about the specters was fascinating, especially when the assignment involved talking with the ghosts. Most of them were super nice, to the point they often find Tzuki in the hallway to chat. The exception is Peeves, and even then, Tzuki finds him fascinating and likes to play into his chaotic side. Of course, she often prefers the real-world lessons to those just out of a book, which caused her studies to lower a bit. Ultimately she still did really good on the exam.
xxxxx⇾Muggle Studies ~ {O}
Despite being from a strong magical line on her mom's side, Tzuki was raised almost exclusively muggle by her dad. She learned to do everything the non-magical way, and if there were any topics in class she needed more clarification on, her dad was always willing to send letters (and sometimes the owner's manuals!) for whatever was the topic. All that combined, she didn't particularly need the class, but it was still cool to learn more.
xxxxx⇾Music ~ {O}
Tzuki is a skilled pianist and she's pretty handy with a guitar. She was taught musical theory at a young age, which she used to her advantage in class. She was excited to learn more, and everything additional she learned, she used to accelerate her musical skill. She ended up acing the class, since she knows her way around music.
xxxxx⇾Mythology ~ {O}
Tzuki gravitated towards mythology because of all the references in Astronomy and History. Her imagination was given free rein here and in many cases, by paying extra attention to how different characters spoke or were presented, she caught onto insights not immediately apparent. These analyses helped her retellings of the myths, and she helped make the myths more vivid for everyone. If that wasn’t enough, Tzuki had a lot of experience DMing for the Adventurer’s Guild, and plenty of opportunities to reference the myths and settings in her campaigns. There was no doubt Tzuki was the top of her class and was going to ace the exam.
xxxxx⇾Wandless Magic Practice ~ {A}
Tzuki always kept her wand on her, but thought Wandless magic would be helpful in case it ever wasn’t around. She didn’t do perfectly, but was happy with all that she learned.
