My height is circa 1.37 cm so I’m pretty short even for an eleven years old female and I’m quite thin. My face is oval, a little bit pale and characterized by well-defined features. I have wavy, hard-to-keep dark blonde hair and bright green eyes full of vitality. I tend to dress elegantly which makes the mess in my hair stand out even more.

I am a shy girl and for this reason I have always had difficulty making friends and even in my muggle life I have always taken refuge in studying alone. I'm quite thoughtful and quite logical, but of course sometimes I get carried away by my emotions in a rush.
I am quite loyal and respectful of other people's work but I have difficulty respecting the rules that I find absurd and this characteristic of mine has brought me some trouble. I love knowledge in all its forms but in my life before Hogwarts I developed a true love for botany and chemistry, which helped me get through even the most difficult moments.

I was born in London but my English isn't exactly great, this is because I lived in Italy until I was ten years old. Unfortunately I lived in a small mountain village and I grew up around a few people my age since the town was decidedly sparsely populated. My parents are both muggles, my father Alexander Smith is a woodcutter while my mother Rita Savioni is a cook in the only inn in the town. Both have always been role models for me mainly because of their kindness and warm ways. During the days that I didn't dedicate to studying, I loved following my father into the woods and seeing him at work. He often managed to find very creative solutions to his problems and this characteristic of him was a source of admiration throughout the country. I attended public school in the village but I wasn't able to bond much with my classmates, so when we had to move back to London to follow my father's dream I wasn't sorry.
A few weeks after our arrival my father had already opened a carpentry shop and from there, without any more trips to the woods, only studying kept me company and
I began to improve in botany and chemistry

I had moved to London a few weeks ago and my mother had asked me to set the table. I liked helping her but above all I liked folding napkins into funny or cute shapes like swans. That day I realized I had forgotten a dish in the kitchen and I went to retrieve it. When I returned to the dining room I saw the paper swans I had prepared take flight and come out the window. I got very scared and decided to hide in my room. During the following days I was so afraid of returning to that room that I pretended to be sick and stayed in my room for almost a week.
