Physical Description: At first glance, all you can see about Bella are her countless freckles, like crazy constellations you cannot name or make sense of. Specially with that pasty skin of hers, so white she’s used to hearing jokes about (mostly from her mother, and always very lovingly). Then, her smile. She is always smiling or with a smirk hidden on her lips. However, one of her most beautiful features is her hair, long and so typically red. She is quite proud of it and takes great care of it. Her stature is slightly shorter than average , something she loves, as it helps her explore all kind of places.

Mental Description: Quite feisty. Arabella is a joyful being who enjoys the simplicity in life, the company of her friends, and to be surrounded by her loved ones. She loves jokes as much as chocolate, and it is not hard to convinced her to get in trouble in exchange of fun or, even better, food. However, just as any child of her age, her temper can get the best of her. Being the youngest of five has taught her that, in fact, you do not need a wand to fight back. Ladylike behaviour be damned and all.

Biography: Perhaps most characters’ lives are exciting and full of lessons, mishaps and hardships, but I’m afraid that Arabella’s was pretty much simple. And, oh, so very happy.
She was born in the middle of quiet night, one that got awfully long and noisy, to be honest. That’s what happens when you have four older siblings, but she got used to that “symphony” pretty soon.
Even though she was the youngest, she never felt left behind, unattended, or not heard. Her parents were some of the lucky ones, they were quite well off, so they were never short on time to spend with their kids, or activities to afford. As Bella got older, she treasured more and more the moments with Americk and Gelasia Readman. She loved helping her mother take care of her plants, or polishing his dad old quidditch equipment. She even loved her siblings, although not so much when they were annoying and mean. Which was quite often. However, she knew they were the ones to go to if she ever needed help.
The oldest was Margareth. She loved studying and was the most responsible of them all. Bella adored her and wanted to be just like her. Margie was loving, polite, and all things right. The second, Cornelius, was another story. So wild, so funny. Their mother called him “Trouble”, and that was a much earned nickname. And then there were the twins, Charles and James. They had hearts of gold hidden under countless layers of sarcasm, or so their father said.
Yes, her family wasn’t perfect, but it was hers. She loved waking up and having breakfast all together, just as much as supper, when they could talk about their day. The worst moments in her life was having to say goodbye to her siblings every 1st of September. Oh, but that was about to change…

First Instance of Magic: Well, it was, of course, caused by the twins, not a day like any other, in their lovely home (Edinburgh). Nothing like the mix of siblings playing with brand new Christmas toys to stir up trouble. Or for a couple older brothers to take advantage of her little sister (the poor thing was 5 at the time), like winning every single game they could. That is, until Bella bursted into tears, so angry and sad that her tantrum caused the most disgusting pimples to cover Charles and James faces. They both cried very hard thinking they would never be handsome again.
