Physical Description: An oval face with lighter tan skin and freckles across the nose. Full rounded lips with heavier upper lip. Hair is honey blond and wavy/curly with wispy baby hairs around the face. When she’s not wearing her hair down and needs to study or play sport she loves two dutch braids. Eyes are round, dark brown and with thick, dark lashes. Nose is straight with a very small up tilt at the end. Has a sun-kissed flush across the cheeks and the nose. Has defined eyebrows that are not harsh or too soft.
Mental Description: She is funny and warm with a good sense of humour and humility however she is also caring and appreciates firm friendships where she is happy to support her friends. She is fiercely loyal to those she cares about. She is emotionally intelligent and easy to talk to. She doesn’t take herself too seriously however is serious when it comes to academics and sport and deeply believes in hard work and commitment. She is quite competitive in sport and board games and although she won’t let it go too far, board games have often ended up in very short term falling outs. She knows many card games and loves to play and will never back down from a game of cards, a board game or a new game entirely. She is very athletic and loves sports but also cares about school and studies and one of her favourite hobbies is reading. She’s adventurous and adores animals or the outdoors but doesn’t have much problem with busier places such as cities. She also really enjoys cooking, baking and creative activities. Her flaw is that she hates disappointing people. She always has a million hair ties because she hates trying to study with her hair down and is happy to lend them out. She laughs very loudly. She loves hugs and holding hands. She will fight very hard for what matters to her or her friends. For example, especially when she was younger she cared deeply about animals and the environment and would volunteer to help at charities but also got very angry when people didn’t care. She hates people not taking her seriously because she jokes sometimes, herself or other people being excluded, friends becoming distant or not giving back in a friendship. She always overcommits to too many things and very much wants to succeed. She also names her plants and for some reason loves sitting on tables, windowsills and the floor. She is fluent in Greek because of her dad and almost completely fluent in French because of lessons since childhood.
Biography: Her parents both attended Hogwarts. Her mum is Australian and moved from Australia at a young age to attend Hogwarts and her dad is Greek-British. She loves travelling and especially visiting Greece and Australia during the holidays. Her mother’s best friend at Hogwarts had been Muggle-born and from going to her best friends house many times during the holidays, her mother became familiar with the muggle world. Because of this, her parents chose to send her to a muggle school as a child to broaden her education and exposure. Her dad was very out of touch with the muggle world but tried his best and wasn’t judgemental. She grew up in the English countryside near a magical village with a large, male hunting dog (which was never used for hunting) called Forte, a family male tawny owl called Oak and a female tortoiseshell Maine Coon cat called Dala. She made close friends through her schooling but also has a best friend who is the daughter of her parents friends. Her parents both loved Quidditch and taught her to fly in the field by their house. Because she had very magical parents, she grew up reading wizarding books, hearing old magical tales and taking care of lots of magical plants around her house. She is very close with her parents and had they would all walk their dog together every day and sit down for a chatty dinner together. She always wished she had and older sister and often babysat local children with her friend once she got older and helped train younger children at her sports clubs. Her favourite place was a large weeping willow next to a creek by her house where she would walk her dog to then sit and read for hours. Her mum was a Ravenclaw at Hogwarts but also with the heart of a Hufflepuff and she gets her hair colour, nose, lip shape and freckles as well as her emotional intelligence, love of reading, curiosity, love of outdoors and academic seriousness from her mum. Her dad was a Griffindor and she gets her eye colour, curls, eyebrow shape and eye shape from him as well as his athleticism, loyalty, impulsiveness, competitiveness, loudness and chattyness from her dad. Her family is slightly chaotic and messy, supportive, competitive and very close and they very much value hard work and loyalty.
First Instance of Magic:
When she was five, she was playing wizarding chess against her parents who were on the same team against her. She was losing very badly and they were teasing her playfully but she was getting more and more frustrated. When they check mated her king she got so mad the whole board went flying and the chess pieces went everywhere along with the papers that had been on the table they were playing on. Once it had all settled she was shocked and terrified but her parents smiled and laughed a bit and explained that it was her magic. Now her and her family still love to tell the story and laugh about it.
