Personality: Energetic and quick-witted, she never gets stuck in the past and doesn’t ruminate on what might have been. Instead, she moves forward with glass-half-full optimism and an ability to always look on the bright side – and land on her feet – in nearly any situation. With a mind that’s constantly racing, even when she’s just quietly hanging out, she never gets bored. In fact, she is happy keeping her own company and can often turn her solitary daydreams into reality. Once she is in your life, she’s loyal for life – but she isn’t afraid to voice her opinion if they feel you’re doing something she disagrees with or if she perceives you as not being loyal to her. Always someone to see all sides of the situation, she may seek input from friends before going to the root of the problem. It’s not gossiping – it’s gathering information. And even though she is easily the life of the party without trying, she also has a deep emotional side that needs care and feeding. She likes time by herself to read, create, daydream and come up with other ways of sharing her gifts with the world. When she can truly tap in and share her gifts, she’s an unstoppable force of energy that can motivate, inspire and enchant people.

Appearance: She has bright ginger hair with light green eyes and a fair skin. Light freckles decorate her nose and cheekbones. Having a lean figure which she maintains by going out for a run now and then (especially necessary as she loves food). She stands at a height of 140cm which is around average.

Background: Her parents had been from the magical world so it was not all new to her. However, there was always something new to do which kept her interested in it. Her parents had told her stories about Hogwarts and their time there, as well as some normal adventures in the muggle world where they lived. They had a passion for travelling and so did Sheila. Exploring new countries and trying out things she had never done or eaten before was always a pleasure. Her curiosity in Hogwarts kept growing as she couldn’t wait to explore the corridors of the castle, meeting new people and probably play a prank or two (or more) on the teachers whenever she saw the chance. Also, the aspect of learning actual spells was the best of all of this. She had read several books from the wizarding world to keep herself up-to-date most of the time. Otherwise, she hung out with some neighborhood friends, trying to find something new on their “exploration walks”. Of course, she wasn’t allowed to go too far as she wasn’t that old yet. But as she didn’t always keep to the rules, she was punished often, meaning locked up in her room unless her parents asked her to go with them.

Magic: When she didn’t like the food that was on the table (and was forced to eat it), she changed it into something she did like.
