Physical Description: Lysandra, short Lys, is with 145cm of average hight. She has brown hair with a hint of red, especially in the sunlight and blue eyes. She likes to have her hair braided though she does not always have the motivation to do so. Her clothing style occasionally attracts unwanted attention in the muggle world for she loves tunics and cloaks that make her look like she is from the medieval time period.

Mental Description: Lys is a playful, yet often reserved girl. She is rather shy and spends her time observing other people instead of actually talking to them. People that know her better describe the young witch as curious and very attentive when being told something. She also loves learning and getting to know new things. Because of how few children of her age she knew in her childhood, she isn't really good at making friends or getting to know new people. Nevertheless Lys is a quite competitive person who doesn't like being worse than other people especially in skills that she thinks are important to her like brewing potions for example.

Biography: Lysandra spent the first years of her life in her family's house, the Gryffith's Mansion, in a rural area near the village of Falstone. Her parents are Geoffrey and Lydia Gryffith. Both of them work in the Ministry of Magic which caused them to have only little time to spend with their only child. Instead they hired a young nanny called Roslyn for her who grew to be more of a mother to young Lys than her actual mother. Time with Roslyn was always fun for the girl. Together with Lysandras dog Naiba they ran through the woods, climbed on trees and swam in a few of the nearby rivers. Roslyn even taught Lys how to shoot a bow although it was very small and her arrows never flew too far. At the age of six, however, Lysandras mother made an end to it. She wasn't happy about her daughter always being dirty and walking around with no manners whatsoever. Roslyn was fired and the life of the young girl took a sad turn. She did learn how to behave "properly" but never forgave her mother for firing her nanny. Since she wasn't allowed to leave the mansion's fence on her own, Lys was bored most of the time. Eventually, she discovered the big library and - with the help of an uncle - taught herself to read. It opened a whole new world to her and she spent a lot of time with reading, especially thrilling stories about brave witches and wizards of old who tamed dragons and rode on their backs or stood up against the evil. When Lys was eight years old, the cousin of her mother moved in with his family, including a girl at the same age who's name is Rose. Despite the efforts of their parents however, the two girls never became friends. When her Hogwarts letter finally came on her 11th birthday, Lys was happier than ever to finally be able to experience something new and go to the famous school in Scotland.

First Instance of Magic: Lysandra's first Instance of Magic occured at the age of eight, shortly after Rose and her parents moved in. Her mother had sent both girls out in the gardens to get to know each other a bit better. It didn't work out well. Instead of talking, the girls started who-can-better... competition and because Rose was better at almost everything, Lys suggested to do climbing. Rose started but she didn't come far, to be exact, she didn't even manage to get off the ground. Lys laughed at that and climbed the tree herself. When the branches below her were already really thin she shouted down how easy this was and asked how Rose had managed to be that bad. The other girl wasn't happy about that. She picked up a stone and before Lys realized what was happening, she threw it. It missed her by a meter but Lys was so surprised and shocked, that she made an hectic movement and the branch under her feet broke. The fall was the scariest moment in her life but when she touched the ground it only hurt a little and she had no injuries. After that, she decided to hate Rose.
