Lisa McMillian is your average young witch. She has always been complimented for her long brown hair and cheeky smile. Her olive green eyes shimmer at times in the light and she has been notably taller for her age ever since she could walk.

Lisa has always been known for her stubbornness. Her cunning wit and cleverness allow her snarky comments to come out rather quickly. This generally doesn't cause many issues, however she has been known to get into quarrels with some over trivial issues that become blown out of proportion.

Before Hogwarts, this was especially true with Lisa's parents. Lisa, the oldest of three, had strong opinions and always came up with questions for her parents Sarah and Robert McMillian. Lisa spent most of her freetime with her two younger brothers, Samuel and Jonathon. Home life went well for the family of five. Of course, Lisa was close to all but especially her mother Sarah. Their personalities butted heads at times but Sarah was always a voice of reason and strength for Lisa.

It was at certain times Lisa felt the need for her mother Sarah. Instances of anger and frustration from her brothers caused large discernment between Lisa and her siblings. One instance included Lisa's first instance of magic. When she was seven, Jonathon and Samuel were running around being quite annoying as usual, poking and prodding at Lisa hoping for a reaction. Lisa refused to budge, however, resulting in her anger boiling up and just as soon as the next slimy finger touched her the dishes behind her began to rise. Fortunately, Lisa's parents noticed and whisked them away before an even larger disaster occurred.
