Born from a long line of wizards, less a great grandfather that is undefined in my family genealogy, I am considered a wizard born. Strange in a wizard society where bloodline purity is considered so valued that she failed to give a name, even if it was a lie to preserve her family's legacy.

My parents are both German, however I was born in England and it was there that I grew up. Reared in a magical household as one would expect, I am more familiar with magical society than muggle society. I don't consider muggles anything more than a passing curiosity, like wildlife or savage natives that require either enlightenment or observation in their natural habitat.

I had a relatively happy childhood, the middle child -- my older sister Olivia and my younger brother Dirk. I would not call myself 'close' to my siblings, but I considered them to be for the most part tolerable if not at times infantile. I do have a hard time finding common ground with my peers, my intelligence has always made me a standout and for most I have been defined as 'cold.' I suppose that is not an untrue or unfounded statement, I prefer cold logic and facts to emotions and instinct.

It has been known since my first days that I was magical, not because I was something exceptional when I was ripped from my mother's womb but rather because my name, like my siblings was written in the Book of Admittance. My magic, like that of my siblings and the children from magical families that I knew first became noticeable during my toddler years. It was temper tantrums for my siblings, that wild expression of rage over not getting that coveted toy or bit of candy or something unreasonable and the uncontrolled surge of magic. For me is was in my sleep, a 'sleeping wizard' my mother called me. Object would simply move in my room as I slumbered at night, nothing harmful and nothing conscious but at times annoying as I sought an item in the place I left it the next day only to find that over night it had been relocated.

My sister had been accepted to House Ravenclaw, I expected to be admitted to the same house but much to my disappointment I found myself admitted to House Gryffindor. I never considered her to be clever, nor had I considered myself brave. I suppose I have no choice in this matter now.
