Physical Description: To others Achelous might look "unique" but to her, she is a carbon copy of the very person she loves dearly with her long blonde hair and flushed pale skin, the only thing that's out of place are the clear blue eyes, the feature she inherited from her grandmother. Her face is covered in faintly visible freckles and she is of average height for most her age, oddly enough her freckles are her favorite features on her person.
Mental Description: In her family you fake it till you make it and she is unfortunately not an exception to this rule, she was taught from birth to say whatever someone wants to hear, the only difference is she prefers brutal honesty to soft lies. As the youngest, she had the most responsibility thrusted upon her, everything always had to be perfect which burdened her with the weight of being a perfectionist.
Compared to her siblings, she was always the absentminded one, always lost in her thoughts or fixated on something which made others prefer to coddle her and not treat her as if she's an actual child who makes mistakes. When people get close to her, they'll realize that she's a big teddy bear despite her cold appearance.
When she's not around her family she can be her goofy and loveable self without all of the smile-but-not-smiles and general passive-aggressive pureblood dragon dung.
Biography: Katrina Dalca is the name of a Romanian socialite with silvery blonde hair and Alexander Gavia is the name of a Greek Auror with black hair, the both of them in an arranged marriage to each other have five children in total with another on the way, they are confident that the baby will be a boy but nothing ever goes as planned.
In the early morning of early spring in Romania, a woman's screams echoed throughout a hospital before being lowered into soft sobs, when you enter the room you would see pale newborn with wispy blonde hair upon her head. A dark haired male named Alexander would name the child Achelous, named after a Greek river god, choosing not to charge the name despite the baby being a girl.
Soon time passed, gray newborn eyes turned blue and wispy blonde hair grew longer, the girl was soon five years old with an already developed accent from living in Romania for most of her life.
Her parents decided to move to England because of all the good things they heard about Hogwarts from foreigners who were surprisingly fluent in their language, they packed up and moved into what would now be known as Gavia Manor, with Achelous residing in the room at the end of the hall. Her grandparents from both sides had a "friendly" competition of who would make her the happiest about the move, her paternal grandparents won of course.
They chose to hire tutors for magical subjects and to teach the blonde haired girl English, they never made an effort to learn the language because they lived in Romania but now they need to adapt.
The process of learning English was grueling but fruitful when she finally learned to speak the language. After her move to Camden Town, Achelous preferred to be cautious around her new neighbors, sure she politely nodded and greeted them but she didn't make friends with them.
Sh and her siblings were of course close, family was a big thing in her family, to her they were all the friends she needed but she made a promise to herself after she'd gotten her Hogwarts letter to actually make friends. The day she'd gotten her acceptance letter was surprisingly the best day of her life, she had a smile on her face for the rest of her day. The months leading up to the moment she stepped onto the Hogwarts Express were going by excruciatingly slow but she got through them.
First Instance of Magic: It happened later than most at the age of 7, her parents were worried about her being a squib and that worry was badly hidden. She'd caught her parents talking about it and lost her composure, while she was in the process of yelling at them, the vase on the dining table shattered. Thankfully, no one was hurt but it took her a while to forgive them.
