Physical Description: Presley is of average height, and thin. She has brown eyes and reddish brown hair that tends to fall in waves when it grows long. Her face is oval shaped, nose is narrow and she has a noticeable dimple in her chin.

Mental Description: She is a guarded and unforgiving young lady. Not prone to trusting people easily as she has watched her mother make a habit out of letting new people into her life on rotation just to watch them waltz right out again. Presley doesn't see the value in allowing someone to get too close if they are just going to leave; she doesn't even confide in her mother very much as her father was the one who doted on her and she does not have him around anymore to do so.

Aside from her emotional hang-ups, she can be quite materialistic, finding the satisfaction she doesn't get in friendships/relationships in tangible things and soon, hopefully, academic success. She hopes to prove to herself that she gained the intelligence of her father, not her mother's gold-digging flirtatiousness' instead, and earn a reputation as unbeatable.

Biography: Presley remembers her earliest years very fondly. The large age gap, of 27 years, between her parents wasn't something that phased her and she felt nothing but love and adoration from both her parents, Warren - a wealthy and long retired magical lawyer - and Brianna - a stay and home mom and socialite. However, Presley was a Daddy's girl for sure and spent a lot of time with her father learning about magic, watching him play wizard's chess, and being entertained with little tricks he shared just for her.

Her world was upended completely when Warren passed away shortly after she turned five and much of her father's fortune was declared by his will to be placed into a trust for her. Brianna's mourning period for her deceased husband was short and she was soon selling off what she could, included their home, and moving from their Estate in Bristol to a smaller home in Surrey where she had grown up and was out frequently leaving Presley in the care of her married friends or even on rare (desperate occasions) teenage muggle babysitters while she tried to score her next husband.

As she has grown older Presley has become more aware of this behavior and has grown to resent it, quietly. She is embarrassed by it all and misses the dreamlike memories she has of her childhood.

First Instance of Magic: Being only 5 when her father passed away, she was confused and hurt to see her mother moving on so quickly and spending time with new (and younger) men so quickly. Being invited to spend time with one of them was too much for the young, grieving, girl and insisted to her mother she wasn’t hungry, and was forced to stay at the table anyway to make a good impression.

Not very long after, the man - who’s name Presley doesn’t remember because he never returned - found his chair upended and floating above him just before he went to sit in it and he was face first into his bowl of gazpacho. Presley, who had been on the verge of tears, was now laughing, surprised by the turn of events. She almost wondered if her father had somehow returned as a ghost because it reminded her of the magic he’d used to entertain her with (and it had been his chair). Her mother’s enticing facade turned towards horror and indignation and Mr. Mystery was out the door as soon as he could right his own wand to clean his shirt.
