Physical Description: Colette stands at about 147cm and is a mesomorph, weighing 100 lbs. Her dark brown hair falls to her mid-back and is naturally wavy (though she tends to straighten it). She has matching dark brown, almond-shaped eyes, a snub nose, and semi-full lips. Her face is heart-shaped and she has a defined jaw and cheekbones. You can usually see her walking around in casual clothes or just cozy clothing in general.
Mental Description: When people describe Colette, the most common word used is usually energetic. While Colette is just a tad shorter than most of her peers, she outshines herself with her bright and bubbly personality, even if she has a resting face 90% of the time. Colette is spontaneous, always wanting to explore her surroundings with her friends. She is also extremely extroverted and confident in herself, leading to a bounce in her popularity around people her age, However, when Colette finds herself alone she becomes more of a thinker than a speaker, her head floating in the clouds.
Biography: Daphne was one of the most cherished children in the Reed estate, an infamous, old-money pureblood family that had been around for centuries. Her parents thought she was perfect; great in dueling, even greater in her studies at Hogwarts, and extremely obedient... or so they thought. It was a shock when Daphne's parents found out that she had been secretly seeing Eric, the eldest son of the rival pureblood family, the Barnes. After an intense shouting match, Daphne packed her bags and left the Reed estate, joining Eric on his move to America, where Colette was eventually born. Both the Reed and Barnes families were estranged in the process. The small family lived a calm, quiet life in the suburbs of Massachusetts for a small while before moving back to Europe and settling in Manchester when Colette was around eight.
First Instance of Magic: Colette experienced her first instance of magic when she was around nine years old, just after her family had moved to Manchester. She had broken her favorite shoes, and just as she was about to throw them into the bin, they started to repair themselves right in front of her eyes. She was stunned about what had just occurred in front of her and was later upset that her parents didn't get to see her first instance of magic.
