(Winifred Bonnet, I feel like you guys are trying to torture me, but the edits you requested on 8/31/2023 have been made.)

Pronouns: She/Her

Sexuality: Bisexual

Physical Description: I am a Latina and my hair is dyed multiple colors and my eyes are naturally sea-green but I wear Crimson contacts to freak people the hell out.

Outfit: My casual outfit is jeans, a black hoodie, black boots, and a random muggle rock band t-shirt since my dad had a bunch, though I do have one shirt of Dr. Dre and his album the Chronic gifted to me by my Tía (Spanish for Aunt). My Hogwarts uniform is standard, except for pants instead of a skirt, my black boots, and one of my t-shirts under the uniform, most commonly my Metallica Master of Puppets shirt. Surprisingly, no one has noticed.

Mental Description: Following a childhood "incident" I do have PTSD (Which makes sense.)

Biography: I was born on July 21st, 2012, to Jonas Avrend (A Scottish-born muggle) and Camila Herrera (A witch who moved to Europe from Mexico before starting Hogwarts). In 2014, someone broke into our house and attacked, killing Dad via the Killing Curse and mentally scarring Mum with The Cruciatus Curse (Though thankfully not as bad as the Longbottoms).

Meanwhile, I somehow wasn't harmed by the Cruciatus Curse. From what I know, the curse backfired somehow. Saint Mungo healers diagnosed me with PTSD, which can mess with magic, though thankfully it's not so bad I can't attend Hogwarts.

From that day on, I was branded a freak despite the fact that I wasn't cursed... right?

It makes sense since my magic is... well, maybe aggressive is a better word. My magic is a little harder to control (Maybe I should take Divination in Year 3, since I see a LOT of tutoring sessions in my future. Sorry, bad joke.) but it's more or less normal enough that I can still attend Hogwarts.

As for the attacker, apparently, he's a Dark Wizard named the Ruin who escaped Azkaban during one of the breakouts organized by You-Know Who and he works as a magical assassin. I have no clue why he went after my Dad since he's a muggle after all, but due to what he DID divulge after the Aurors arrested him, I know that he considered me and my mother sport after the fact.

For years, I have been doing my best to help my mother with the occasional help of my aunt who is named Septima Herrera. She's, no joke, a criminal Queenpin (Yes, I am trademarking that) wanted by MACUSA known as the Señora de Pociones: the Mistress of Potions. Since MACUSA has issues getting the proper evidence to hold or arrest her, she constantly comes over to our hidden home in Scafell Pike to help, whether it be menial tasks or money.

Now, I'm starting my first year at Hogwarts...

First Instance of Magic: During a temper tantrum when I was 6, I unintentionally created a small spark when I slammed one of my fists against the ground. That spark ignited some leaking gas from my mother's Volkswagen and accidentally blew it up, which almost made me look like that Muggle Comics villain Two-Face. Thankfully, Tía Septima was there and she used magic to get me away before I could get hurt and/or burn alive.

Hobbies: Reading dark Muggle comics, such as The Punisher and The Boys. I've also spent hours helping out at Eeylops Owl Emporium between the ages of 9 to 11. I also like listening to rock and hip-hop music and drawing pictures.
