✦ The Body ✦
Theodora, or Theo, is an average height for a girl her age, standing at 145cm. She has long, dark brunette hair that is usually down with curtain bangs that hug her face. Her eyes are a light brown, the black of her pupils a stark contrast when seen closely. Her outfits usually fall under the dark academia aesthetic, her closet full of burgandy, navy and mocha browns. Most of her clothes are old and worn, either a hand-me-down or thrifted. Same goes for her jewellery, other than a necklace her mother gave her. A gold 'T' in cursive, simple and elegant.

✦ The Mind ✦
Eldest of three, she is often the responsible one but despises the fact she is viewed this way and yet, will fustrate easily if what she said isn't followed or heard. Blunt in her words, she is of dry humour and a touch sarcastic. A quick thinker, due to her 'responsibilities', and finds herself calmer in action then staying still. She is an observer, opting out of initiating conversations to watch but isn't shy of conversing. This, however, does mean she stares quite often and doesn't realise how her actions can come across to others. Finds comfort in cooking and drawing, anything hands-on really, but she is well practiced in these.

✦ The Backstory ✦
Theo has lived in Manchester her whole life with her mother and two brothers, Olly (Oliver) and Robbie (Robert). Magic has been a staple in her life due to her mother as she keeps her family afloat, often using it to do menial jobs like dishwashing or folding laundry. Their home is close to the city, in Levenshulme, not the most elegant part but affordable for her family. Her father was a muggle, he left when they were too young to remember him, a topic of their lives that has faded into unimportance. Going to a muggle primary school, before Hogwarts, she is used to the muggle life and has often been seen playing at the local park with friends and her siblings. Although her mother tries her best to be present, she is often working in and out of the house to provide, leaving Theo the ability to come and go but also the responsibility of her siblings.

✦ The Magical Incident ✦
She was five. Her mother had just given birth to her last child, Robbie, and they were all sitting in the living room. It was a mess, three children under five, two with the ability to walk and talk, and one who only wanted to be breastfed. It was as close to a riot as anything. Theo was upset. Her mother was feeding and refused to take her to the local park. It was blasphemy according to her, the audacity of her mother and the inability to be granted her wishes all culminated to the biggest tantrum known to man. This was because as soon as her voice opened to scream, every glass in a two metre radius, shattered. To smithereens. Luckily, no one was in the vicinity of the windows or kitchen. Her mother, though, was in a confused state of shock, fustration and excitement at her daughters first signs of magic. It was a very eventful, and expensive, day to say the least.
