Appearence

Cheryl is a small girl with 140cm (4’7) on height, 41kg of weight and health build, her hair have a dark brown-black shade color with a straight texture that goes down to her shoulders. She have a warm olive skin with golden undertones, her eyes have a dark brown color accompanied with long eyelashes.

Personality

You can say Cheryl is a introverted most part of the time, hardly will start a conversation with people she don’t know well, especially when she don’t have a goal or topic to talk about in her mind, but she can be the extreme opposite when talking with the ones she knows and feel comfortable with, a example was when she sit next to Garbles and started to talk with him while he was organizing a pile of books in a book shelf, in the end of a unilateral conversation he walked outside and before going out he said “For a girl that don’t talk with anyone in this house, you talk too much”. Independently of the case she treats people with respect and prefer to stay away from pointless fights, she is also a good listener, hearing people is a good way of getting to know them.

History

Cheryl was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in a mid-class family on the 17th of June 2011. She is a wizard-born, daughter of a muggle mother and pureblood father, but she lived the biggest part of her life among muggles without knowing about her wizard lineage. Actually she lives in England in the city of Exeter with her father, step-mother and half-brothers.

Her mother kept Cheryl distant of the wizard world because she was a muggle in a family that is predominant Christian and she was worried about their reaction if they find out about her relationship with a wizard, a relationship that flourish in the period her mother stayed 2 years in England by a student exchange of her faculty, when the exchange was coming to a end she got pregnant... So Cheryl father decided to explain that he really couldn't stay with her mother "his family wouldn't allow it", besides they already expected him to marry another woman. That way Cheryl was just able to meet her father after her first incident with magic.

After the day of the incident things got strange with her family, weird visits, discussions, arguments… Her mother tried to keep things calm, but Cheryl couldn’t stop herself from hearing some of these arguments where some members of her family called her by “little witch” and other things. In the same week her mother that looks like still have some contact with her father, sent a letter explaining what happened and that she needs him to take care of Cheryl while she tries to calm the mood of her family and "explain" what happened. It was then that at the end of the month she went to live with her father.

Cheryl always knew she had a father and that he lived in England, after all her name was “Blake” and it must come from somewhere since it not corresponds with anyone in her family, her mother didn’t talk much about her father so that was all she knew. Move to England was a shock especially given the circumstances of the trip, the anxiety of knowing her father for the first time helped to diminish a little the fear of being in an unknown place, well… until she find out he was married and had two sons. The first month living in the England was the worst, basically because the communication was almost impossible, her father hired a private teacher to help Cheryl learn English as soon as possible, this way she was able to understand the motive her stepmother was always angry with her or why her grandfather was discussing with her father saying how disappointed he was to find out his son get involved with a “muggle”, word she would get used to be listening when her family start discussing about her mother and sometines even when talking about herself. Over the years Cheryl could saw that her presence was a inconvenient to her “new” family, with the exception of her younger half-brother that was too young to understand what was happening and her father that still show up some kind of worry with her well being or at least it’s what Cheryl hopes for… And there is Garbles too, the grumpy domestic elf.
Her admission letter arrived one day and was received with indifference by most of the family members with exception of her father that seemed relieved for some reason, in the other hand Cheryl didn’t knew what to think about it… She knew the letter would arrive, her father always was telling her that it would come sooner or later, that way she wasn’t very surprised, actually she was wondering what would happen when she got there, of course she is more used to all the magic, things moving on their own, things vanishing and appearing from nowhere and weird creatures like Garbles than she was in the first time she put her feet in this home… but still she don’t know basically anything about this world she is getting in, but maybe she will fit and maybe she can overcome this troubled moment with her family.

First Instance of Magic

The incident happened when she was 8 years old in one of the meetings her family normally do in the end of the year. Cheryl was playing hide and seek with her cousins, in the middle of the play she decided hide inside a wardrobe unluckily one of her cousins saw it and had the bright idea of lock her inside, she noticed that and tried to open the door while asking him to unlock it, but unfortunately he was already running to call the others to see his little “prank”, of course she started to cry and call her mother after some minutes stuck inside the wardrobe… And then suddenly there she was hugging her mother leg for the surprise of herself and everyone in the room, little did she knew that things would change after that.
Being spotted teleporting in front a bunch of muggles could be classified as big law issue, but luckily the late hours and the ingestion of alcoholic drink made it pass as just a imagination to mostly of the guests... And even those that was too stubborn (her grandmother and some uncles) to let it pass as just drunkiness or lack of sleep wasn't going to risk telling it to random people and be called crazy, but Cheryl's mother in the other end still would need give some answers.
