Physical Description: Branwen's hair is a crisp dark-brown colour, to the point of seeming as if she had black hair. Even in the sunlight, or in the moonlight, her hair doesn't lose that intense glisten of darkness. She has continued to let her in-between wavy and straight hair grow out, so it is quite long, extending to past her lower back.
Branwen's eyes are a light hazel with a hint of pine green, striking and vicious seeming, her eyes are usually observing other people to try to figure them out and her surrounding environment.
Her skin is as pale as a snowy owl's feathers, sometimes she gets the question "Are you feeling okay?" due to the lack of saturation in her skin. Branwen is also quite short, marking her at 4'6ft (137.16 cm).

Mental Description: Branwen comes across as rude to most people, with more mischievous undertones. She portrays herself as charming and is considered to be cold-hearted, unless it’s towards the people she genuinely cares about, but gaining her trust is a very difficult thing to accomplish. Branwen tries her best to be kind to others, but can sometimes find it overwhelming due to fear of opening up.
She is a very honest person who believes in telling the truth no matter the cost, she does not find interest in people who try to deceive her.
She is observant and knowledgeable, she can read some people like a book, yet of course, everyone is different. With her being observant, she can point out small details, which has helped her greatly. She enjoys doing research on a lot of things, whether it be something she holds interest in or has just learnt about it.
Branwen is also very open-minded when it comes to meeting people, she is accepting of all those around her. Her trust does not lie in the hands of disrespect at all, whatsoever. She can come across as cold, but it is never anything personal.
People have said that being in her presence can either be an “unexpected” or “melancholic” experience.

Biography: Branwen Desdemona grew up in a village by the name of Beddgelert, it is a village in Gwynedd, Wales. With a small population, Branwen grew up knowing a lot of the townsfolk, although, other than the village being a seemingly buzzing tourist attraction, the people originally from there, are more quiet.
She resides with her father (Jaylen), who works as the local Blacksmith, being a "Jack of all Trades", he decided to stick to Blacksmithing. Branwen and her father have a great relationship and he encourages her on her journey through life. She also has a very good relationship with her older brother (Evans). He is much older than Branwen, having a 8 year age-gap. He graduated from Hogwarts and spoke about his adventures to Branwen after she had found out she can hold magic as well. Evans stops by for a visit every once in a while, due to him not residing in the same house as his family. He has been travelling both the Muggle world and Wizard world since he has graduated, yet he resides in Scotland now.
Not much is known about her mother, due to her disappearance when Branwen was 5 years of age. She was noted as a "missing person", but in the past few years her files were marked as being a "cold case".
Her lack of openness has prevented her from making a lot of friends. She does have a best friend named "Keyadual" who has stuck by her side ever since her mother went missing, even at a young age, the dread and uncertainty of the unknown was frightening, especially when it came to something to do with family. With not living too far away from Branwen and her family, they frequently spend time together. He's a kind yet stubborn fellow, who takes pleasure in reading, building random contraptions, and climbing structures (trees also included!). Keyadual is also on his journey to attending Hogwarts.

First Instance of Magic: One day, bored in the village, two 9 year olds, Branwen and Keyadual decided to go wandering off in one of the forests in the surrounding area. While running, walking and jumping, Keyadual decided to climb a tall tree. He ended up misplacing his foot which caused him to fall from the tree. As this was happening, Branwen had gotten into a panicked state, adrenaline rushing through her bones, she let out a sharp scream. With her arms sprawled out, there was a sudden flash and then a glow around Keyadual, he stopped while airborne, and made a soft landing. Shocked and frightened, Branwen fell backwards. She didn't know what was happening, but started having more questions for her family.
