History
- Older child of Jonathan and Caoimhe Templeton. Caoimhe insisted on traditional Irish names for both children, which means that Siobhan has spent her entire life both pronouncing and spelling her name for people. And she will correct people however many time she needs to.
- Spent a lot of time at the art museum with her dad growing up. It was about the only place she went where she didn't get hurt, mostly because she would just sit and stare at the paintings for a long time. She still spends a lot of time there over the hols, though now she brings a sketchpad and pencils and sketches the other people at the museum.
- Extremely accident-prone. It's a common family joke that she can trip over the air and break something.
- Despite how frequently she was hurt (thank goodness for magic so her recovery times were always fairly short), Siobhan remained cheerful and upbeat. Perhaps because she was always being cared for, Siobhan enjoyed any opportunity she had to care for others, too (repayment, pay it forward, however you want to look at it).
- Was super excited to be sorted into the same house as her cousin when she got to Hogwarts; that was the main focus of her owl to her parents about her sorting. (Her parents were just grateful that she wasn't going to be going up so many stairs every day to get to her common room.) (She has still been injured many times on the moving staircases.)
- Her teachers very quickly learned how much of a walking epicenter of disaster she was and did their best to keep her away from breakables. After the third time she fell off her broom and broke her arm, Madam Hooch excused her from flying lessons. (Everyone is afraid of what's going to happen when she starts Apparation lessons.)
- Has had, more or less, a relatively calm time at Hogwarts so far. There was the worry over the Heir of Slytherin in her third year, then the fear of Sirius Black in her fourth year, but her cheerful and upbeat attitude helped her stay positive through both years.
- When the Tournament was announced last year, everyone breathed a very big sigh of relief that Siobhan was too young to enter her name. If she had been old enough, she might have been tempted (considering her dream of being an artist, it's hard to turn away from the idea of winning that much money), but she also knew that if she was old enough, had entered her name, and by some crazy twist of fate been picked, she most definitely would have died.
- She did cheer (loudly) for Cedric. Even though she was incredibly unenthused by the Potter boy also being in the tournament, she cheered some for him, as well, because he was a Hogwarts Champion, no matter how it happened.
- When Cedric died, she was incredibly shaken. She wondered if she had somehow caused his death, with her jokes about how she would've died if she had been in the tournament. Logically she knows that she didn't cause his death, but she's still having a hard time convincing herself of it.
- There's no history of Seers in her family... but after someone did die when she'd joked about it, she wondered. It's hard to tell, in retrospect, if you're remembering right about having had fleeting (or not-so-fleeting) thoughts about something that actually ended up happening.
- Her father firmly believes that the Headmaster and Potter are mistaken as to the events at the end of the tournament last year, because there is no way that YKW is back. Siobhan and Riordan both take this to heart. Their mother said very little on the subject over the summer.
- It's a toss-up as to who's more relieved that Siobhan has dropped most of her classes: Siobhan or her professors. Considering her interest in becoming an artist, the decision on which classes to continue was based entirely upon which classes she earned high enough OWLs on, and which ones are the least likely for her to be injured in.
- At the moment, she has no firm opinion on Professor Umbridge, as she is not in her class. She does think that having extra oversight in the school might be a good thing, considering some of the Headmaster's choices in the past.

Trivia
- She has broken both arms, both legs, both wrists, both ankles (all several times each), several fingers several times apiece, a couple toes, her nose a few times, her tailbone twice, most of her ribs (though not all at once), and her collarbone. She has also cracked her skull twice.
- She is on a first-name basis with a lot of the Healers at St. Mungo's. There is usually at least one Healer on duty who she knows, no matter what time of day she ends up there. The only ward she hasn't visited as a patient is Creature-Induced Injuries.
- Can never find anything. Accio is her favorite spell.
- Will never ever set foot in the Forbidden Forest, or get too close to the lake.
- Speaking of the lake, she fell in on her first night at Hogwarts, on the boat ride across. Twice.
- Has a stash of candy in her trunk. Freely shares it with everyone. Especially in a "you look like you've had a rough day. Here, have a chocolate frog" way.
- She's touch-seeking, so she needs constant physical contact to stay grounded. She loves platonic hugs and cuddles, and will often touch people's hands / arms / shoulders / legs / back / whatever when in close proximity.
