Physical Description: When you see Kerry with her dad who is caucasian, it is not easy to tell they are from the same family. The daughter looks much more like her mother. She inherited of her long and straight black hair which are cut with a bang that stops just above her eyes ; and of her matt skin which is just a bit lighter. Kerry’s eyes are very expressive and they are a bit slanted with her irises very dark, nearly black. Despite her expressive look, the young girl doesn’t smile too much and adopts a more serious face. Her face is flat, thin. Her voice is calm, not particularly high-pitched, she's retained a bit of her Australian accent, especially when she's feeling emotional. The girl is a bit short for her age but nothing alarming and she is slim. She love wearing baggy jeans with fitted t-shirts.


Mental Description:
Kerry is a sensitive girl who hides behind a strong character. She doesn't express calmy her feelings and tends to get easily angry. She is stubborn and hate being wrong. With people she doesn't know, Kerry tends to be a bit abrupt and not easy going. But with people she appreciates, the little girl is more talkative and relaxed and she can smile. She is bright, she has a good school level when she is concentrated (not always).

She loves the magical world -she doesn't know muggled one though. Kerry is feeling a bit scared to go to Hogwarts because it will be another move but in the other hand she missed the time where she was constantly surrounded by other child wizards in Australia. So she is feeling excited about this renewal. Her big brother, Jayden, is already in Hogwarts so the girl knows a bit about this school of sorcery.

Kerry has some passions. She especially loves playing the ukulele and singing -although she doesn't want to be heard. She learnt to play this instrument when she was still in Australia, taught by her grandma. Playing the ukulele and singing is one of the only ways for her to calm down.

Fortunately for an 11-year-old girl, Kerry gets on well with her family. After the move she had a bad period where she closed in on herself, but soon afterwards, realising that her older brother was going soon to Hogwarts, she opened up again. She now exchanges letters with her older brother and plays regularly with her younger brother.


Biography:
Once upon a time, 11 years ago, a little girl was born in London from a loving couple. The father, James Foster, was a purely londonian young man and her mother, Lee Minjeong, was of south korean origin but had spent most of his life in Australia. The two adults were from pureblood families of wizards so they had no doubt about the magic abilities of their baby. Kerry was raised for her first year with her big brother, Jayden Hanjin Foster Lee, in London and then the little family moved out to Australia in a neighbourhood near Melbourne. This neighbourhood was composed of wizard-born and pureblood families, mostly of asian origins, who lived safe from muggles.

Kerry Foster, or her complete name Kerry Minji Foster Lee, lived as Minji Foster for the following years in Australia. The parents who were part of this community organised together to educate and teach all young wizards. So Kerry has rarely met muggles in the first years of her life, living mainly with friends from wizard-born or pureblood families in the little village. The little girl had a strong character, she was very sensitive and therefore compensated for this with a certain authority. She talked loudly and was always trying to get her friends involved in all sorts of adventures. She was happy with her simple life with her parents, her big brother, friends and... another brother ? Julian Yujin Foster Lee was born when Kerry was five. The siblings have directly developed a perfectly good relationship.

The life became very less easy for Kerry, at 7 year-old, when her parents decided to move out back to England, near London, the father wanted to be closer from his family and especially wanting to send his kids to Hogwarts. Discovering a new country, a new culture, is never easy for any age but has been a real shock for the little Kerry. She had to tell good bye to her friends, to every adults from the community she met, and say hi to new people. “Weird people with weird accent” as she was saying to her parents. Kerry was british by birth but had adopted a strong Australian accent due to living abroad. The few others children she met was always surprised by her accent and the girl was so upset of this situation. In addition, the family was not living anymore in a witch community so Kerry had to be very prudent about the secret of magic. She had her first instance of magic during this period and had finally to stay at home because of difficulties to control her power.

The new house was still nice, big with a garden, near London. The only one inconvenient was there look to be muggles everywhere and the girl was really not familiar with them. She rarely went out of the home on her own, unlike her freedom in Australia. Kerry began to argue with her brothers and was regularly grumpy. She tooks months to feel at home again.
The girl is in a real hurry to get to Hogwarts because she can't wait to make new friends, as she misses her old ones too much.


First Instance of Magic:

The first instance of magic for Kerry occured nearly after the move in London, at 8 year-old. After arguing with her parents when she begged them to return to Australia, the girl ran away from home. The problem was that she had run for a long time just as it was getting dark, and when she stopped, it was pitch black. Kerry began to cry, realising that she didn't know the way to this brand new house. And suddenly, just as she was imagining spending the night outside, a small orb of light appeared before her eyes. Sniffing, the little girl followed it, and the little light led her to her house. Finding her parents worried sick, Kerry began to realise that this building, which had seemed so foreign to her, was indeed her new home.
