Shaz Stuart has slightly wavy, light brown hair that flows down to the middle of her back, she had a fringe when she was 7 but it grew it out and now her hair is neatly parted down the middle. She has blue-grey eyes, a cute button nose and lips that can form a smile that would melt your heart.

Shaz is very much an introvert. She enjoys studying hard and being creative. She is kind and brave and lends a helping hand wherever she can. She can be very talkative and occasionally enjoys the spotlight but prefers to keep her head down.

Shaz always found it hard to fit in in the muggle world. She always felt as though she was different but she tried hard at whatever task was set before her. She was always a bit of a loner but she enjoyed it. She was very close with her family, especially her older sister, Blair Stuart. Blair was Shaz's best friend growing up, they did everything together but her sister went away. Her parents told her that Blair was going to boarding school and that she could only visit once a year. She started to feel lonely so she started spending more time with the few friends she had, they grew close and are close still but she couldn't deny that her favorite moment of the day was when after sitting down with her parents and playing board games or watching a movie, they'd make her a hot chocolate, tuck her in to bed, read her a story and then kiss her goodnight. She always felt so loved. Her mum, Vanessa Stuart, was born a witch and grew up to be an Auror which Shaz admired deeply, she always hoped that one day, she'd grow up be to be just like her, protecting the good in the world. She also idolised her father, Daniel Rainer, who was a muggle artist. While Vanessa was at work, Shaz would sit anxiously by the window, waiting for her to return for she knew how dangerous her mum's job really was. With Shaz's anxiety in mind, Daniel would scoop her up in his arms and carry her to his art room where he'd sit down at his easel with a paintbrush in his right hand, a palette in his left and with Shaz on his lap. She'd watch every brush stroke and forget her worries for a while. Sometimes, they'd stay up together until Vanessa came home so they could all sleep knowing they were all safe and sound but sometimes, Shaz would fall asleep on his lap and he would carry her, ever so gently, to her room where he would tuck her in to bed and then sit quietly in the chair in the corner of her room and just watch her sleep.

The first time Shaz experienced her own magic was when she was 9. She was playing in the backyard when she her a meow from above. She looked up and the kitten her parents had got her just days ago was stuck high up in a tree, clinging to a branch that was slowing snapping. Shaz looked at her kitten with such fear that it might get hurt. Suddenly, the baby kitten slowly lifted from the branch and as Shaz lowered her gaze to the ground, her kitten lowered with it until it landed safely in her arms. Shaz looked at her kitten with fear and confusion and her baby kitten mirrored her reaction. She had to be sure that what she had seen with her own eyes, had really happened so she stretched out her arms and once again, lowered her gaze to the ground and sure enough, her kitten softly floated down and landed on the grass before skittishly running off in the bushes. Shaz ran inside and yelled out for her mum. Both of her parents rushed into the room and asked her what had happened. When Shaz told them what she had done, Vanessa and Daniel both looked at each other with what some would call a look of relief. Vanessa then knelt to the ground and told her the story of her family line and how Blair hadn't just gone to boarding school but that she had gone to Hogwarts
