personality

Orla is a kind-hearted girl who loves animals, nature, and being happy. She grew up seeing the good side of every situation, learning it from her father, who is a happy man. She's often seen as a good-natured and very reliable girl. At her worst Orla can be too selfless, struggles to make tough decisions, and superficial, especially the latter.

appearance

Orla has short, wavy brown hair with bangs swept to the side, sometimes covering her eyes. Freckles scatter cross the left half of her face, like red pepper. Her face is triangular and elf-like, with slightly pointed ears. Her eyes are downturned and set with beautiful hazel irises that mimic the leaves in fall. Her skin is fair but sometimes her dark freckles contrast so much that it makes her skin look paler.

She is very small, in build and height. She's very skinny, considered boney, and is little over 4’6”. She sounds younger than she is, her voice soft and gentle.

Her father is Bulgarian and her mother is French, but Orla has a soft English accent with a Bulgarian touch when she's being completely serious. Sometimes when she's angry her accent becomes harsher and more clipped.

background

Orla was raised alone by her father, Kenith Hoeft. She was born in Bulgaria, in the same house as her father. Her mother died four years after she was born from breast cancer and it was very hard for them the first year. But her father, a strong-willed and cheerful man who knew that raising his daughter the right way in a hard world was the key to her success. He taught Orla that life was precious and that she needed to make the most of every opportunity, no matter the obstacles and drawbacks.

Her father's family is made up of Northern European's, like Bulgarians, Russians, Swedes, and the Dutch. Her mother is half French, her father being Chinese and mother French, which is why Orla has Asian traits in her face.

Orla grew up in a middle class area in Hathersage, England. Her father is a muggle, and before she received that letter from Hogwarts she thought she was one, too. They lived in a two-story house that was close to other ones and Orla went to primary school with absolutely no idea of the wizarding world around her. She did her best in classes but was more focused on making friends and being around animals. She wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up.

After finding out that she was a witch, her mind sparked with so many ideas and she wants to take care of dragons.

Orla knows English, Russian, Bulgarian, and French, being taught the latter in honour of her mother.

magic surfaced

Orla, like everyone else, has the moments when they can't hold back their anger. Her father recently was promoted in his company and he became way busier than usual. In result he couldn't spend as much time with Orla, like taking her to the Father-Daughter dance, going on hikes, bike rides, or to the zoo, and the just had less time to spend with each other. She tried to make the best of it, but her father is like her best friend, and she loves him very much, and she became noticeably more upset at school, around her friends, and during activities in general.

Her father tried to explain one morning over breakfast but all the balled up angst burst out of her and she started yelling at her father, breaking every glass around her, including some of the neighbor's windows. They both stood in shock, since none of them had moved from their place. It was a short while before the authorities came, but it was the regular ones. Some ministry officials came and explained about Orla being of magic descent, even if both her parents were muggles, how it might have been passed down and skipped a few lines.

This happened when she was ten years old, around July, so she wouldn't be turning eleven until later than October, so she wouldnt be able to go to Hogwarts until the following year. During that wait she finished her last year in primary school and learned more about the wizarding world that summer. At first she was a little nervous but she feels she's as ready as a first-year could be about going to Hogwarts. She hopes to have many adventures and make the most of her time there.
