Basic Description
Full Name: Lenora Rene Berwick

Zodiac Sign: Taurus (April 20th - May 20th)

Zodiac Symbol: The Bull

Allergies: Kiwi and Pineapple

Pets: Her mother's Tawny owl, Fig and her father's Scottish Fold, Bonnie. Lenora does not have a pet her self but enjoys spending time with her parent's pets when she is home from school.

Physical Description:
Hair: Lenora has fine, strawberry blonde hair which hangs to the base of her neck in loose curls. Her hair is not prone to frizz but often tangles at the back of her neck, which has led Lenora to favour short hair styles.

Eyes: Lenora has watery blue/grey eyes framed by thick, short lashes. Her eyes are wide and cheerful, often with a mischievous glint to them.

Facial Features Lenora has a rounder face shape with ample cheeks and narrower lips. Her cheeks are often a rosy colour naturally as she is of paler complexion. Her eyebrows are sharp and narrow, and are more reminiscent of a ginger colour than strawberry blonde like her hair. Lenora has her ears pierced and often favours a set of small gold flower stud earrings.

Physical Features Lenora is 4'5 and is of average weight. She is of sturdy build and has no scars or marks on her body save for a small beauty mark she was born with on her left shoulder. Lenora is sensitive to hot temperatures and becoming too warm results in her face going a bright pink. Whenever possible, Lenora enjoys wearing a small heart shaped locket and when she cannot wear it, you will often find it tucked away in the pocket of her robe.

Clothing Lenora has grown up in hand-me-downs and often wears whichever pair of jeans she can find. She does not care much for style, has long as it hasn’t any stains or holes she's content. During the winter months she most enjoys wearing her "Canadian Rockies" sweat shirt she received while on a trip. This sweater is her prized possession as it was the first thing she got "new" for herself without needing to share.

Mental Description:
Inquisitive: Lenora has always been a curious child chasing the answer to even the most trivial questions. She enjoys the pursuit of knowledge and will not often take "I don't know" as an answer to one of her many questions. Her natural curiosity is her driving force, although she has been warned many times that "curiosity killed the cat"

Meek: Lenora is a gentle person who is not fond of confrontation. She is quite by nature, having grown more accustomed to her sister speaking for her and is more willing to be a follower than a leader. Often people jump to the conclusion that Lenora is shy due to her soft-spoken nature but this could not be further from the truth.

Placid: Lenora is slow to anger: she can easily adapt to change and often embraces it. Her laid-back and easy-going nature make her an easy person to get along with, and her optimism makes her a popular person to go to for reassurance.

Interests
Favourite Colour: Green

Favourite Quote: "Just because you don't see it dosen't mean it's not there"

Hobbies: Exploring the outdoors, reading, collecting Famous Witches and Wizards cards, playing "dress up" with her mum's closet, and swimming

Fun Facts: Lenora is deeply fascinated by Muggles, having only properly met her half-sister's muggle grandparents on a handful of occasions. She is also especially interested in plants and nature and greatly enjoys watching everything come to life in the spring.

Fears: Lenora is scared of heights and large bodies of water

Biography:
Immediate Family: Alida Moore (pure-blood), Lachlan Berwick (pure-blood) and Isla Jones (half-blood)

Parents Information: Lenora was born to Alida Moore and Lachlan Berwick in the early summer of 2011. Alida is presently 43 years old and is a bar maid at the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade. Lachlan is presently 43 years old and works for the Ministry of Magic as an Auror. Alida and Lachlan had a quick-paced romance and were married 6 months after first meeting.

Siblings Information Lenora was a single half sister named Isla Jones who is 14 years old. Isla is a half-blood who is currently enrolled at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Isla is in her third year at Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor as a first year student.

Family History At 32, they welcomed Lenora and did not have any further children due to the demand of their careers. The two split in 2016 when Lenora was 5 as they both wanted different things in life, with Lachlan pressuring Alida to move the family closer to Westminster for his work while Alida was unwilling to leave the Highlands she had grown up in. Prior to her marriage to Lachlan Berwick, Alida was also married to an American muggle named Micheal Jones and the two had a daughter in 2009 before Micheal unfortunately passed away. Alida raised her daughter Isla Jones for two years before meeting Lachlan when he entered the bar during her shift. The two hit it off and she was delighted when Lachlan stepped up to be a father figure for her daughter Isla and they wedded quickly after discovering Alida was pregnant.

House History Alida was sorted into Hufflepuff during her years at Hogwarts while Lachlan was sorted into Gryffindor. The Moore family have historically been sorted into Hufflepuff, but this changed when Isla was sorted into Gryffindor. The Berwick family historically have been sorted into Gryffindor, with a few notably being sorted into Hufflepuff over the years. Alida is very hopeful that Lenora is sorted into Hufflepuff as she received pressure and backlash from family after Isla was not sorted into Hufflepuff. Lachlan only hopes that Lenora will be happy at Hogwarts, he does not care which house she belongs to as long as she is a good person.

Family Dynamics Alida and Lachlan are highly successful co-parents. It is obvious to anyone who sees them that they care deeply for one another and in turn they both care deeply for the girls. Lenora is closer with her Dad than her Mum, as she does not see Lachlan as often due to his move to London. He often hosts her for summer holidays and the two are very close. Lenora has always felt more pressure to be perfect from her Mum than anything, with Alida pushing Lenora to always be practicing a skill or learning a new one but the two are still close and enjoy spending time together. Lenora and Isla get on very well, though they often have spats and disagreements as any set of sisters would. Isla often masks her jealousy over Lenora's pure-blood status by speaking for her and being a more controlling presence in her sister's life though none of this goes on maliciously.

Before Hogwarts Lenora lived at home with her Mother year-round in a small two-bed cottage on the family estate. From the age of 6 onwards, Lenora would spend the summers in London visiting Lachlan at his rather spacious flat while Isla spent the summer in Inverness with Alida.

First Instance of Magic:
Her First Summer in London: During Lenora's first visit to London at the age of 6, she spent time playing in the dusty attic of her grandparent's home. Every time she sneezed, all the curtains in the house would fly open with such force that the curtain rod screws began to fall out. By the end of her visit, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that Lenora had magical abilities.
