Appearance:

Senna at the age of 11 is of swarthy skin complexion, stands at 142 cm (4' 8") and has long thinly braided black hair that she wears in a myriad of styles, though often times twisted out into long thin curls. Her eyes are a dark brown, practically black as they nearly blend in with her pupils; they are full of life and welcoming warmth but also a fiery determinant passion. She is your average sized preteen, yet to develop in anyway, small lithe and light; she is an athletically fit young girl for her age.

Personality:

Being born on the Scorpio/Sagittarius Cusp, her personality takes on many noted aspects of each sign. She is passionate, intelligent, forever in the pursuit of knowledge (as she gorges herself on the information Cillian feeds her) and a wanderlust for adventure. Senna is also very calculating, she enjoys a good game of chess on the board and in real life. Though due to being born with these attributes, and her upbringing to a very shrewd, harsh and secretive man, she has unjustified insecurities about herself and her origins, and whether or not she is cut out to live up to what she has been brought up to be; a great witch.

Being raised by a literally self-proclaimed Wizard Hermit, Senna didn’t have many interactions with other people. Cillian was the only person she had spoken more than a few sentences to her entire life. She was instructed when she went to town, not to dawdle and not to talk to anyone unless necessary. Cillian was very strict on that, sometimes she even felt like he was following her. Still, her lack of social interaction makes her a bit odd around other people for she doesn’t know proper manners in some instances, nor does she know how to talk to people properly, sometimes coming off as blunt or particularly harsh. But all-in-all she is a bubbly young girl, full of energy, who once she gets to know a person, comes out of her semi-shy shell.

Senna was raised to fear nothing and she in fact lives up to that except for when it comes to these two things: Senna is afraid of being alone and of all consuming darkness. Being raised by a Wizard Hermit, Senna was sometimes left all to herself while Cillian disappeared to ‘who knows where’. This daily lifestyle wrought terrors on the young girl mentally and emotionally. This fear of being alone almost leads her to seem pushy when trying to make friends. As for things she likes, Senna loves sweets of all kinds since she hardly ever gets to have any. She also enjoys climbing things and parkouring around like an agile little cat; you can often find her perched in a high place reading or studying (another passion of hers: knowledge).

Lastly, Senna’s goal in life despite Cillian’s insistence, is to the greatest Witch Hogwarts has ever seen- no -the greatest which of all time! All she’s known her entire life is Wizardry from her guardian, and that she has magical potential despite not knowing her actual lineage. She’s determined, fearless and never backs down from a challenge.

History/Background Story:

Senna was born November 22, 'Senna Oliver Eimear Yardeen' to a mother and father who to this day she knows naught about; not even whether they live or not. She has grown up her entire life under the guardianship of a man by the name of Cillian and only Cillian; she was never privy to his full name.

Senna grew up under the care of Cillian in the Southern England town of 'Reading'. It was their she lived a life of tutelage under him, for Cillian was a wizard and an extremely talented one at that. But he lived a hermit’s existence, staying secluded from outside contact with muggle and wizard alike. Senna had limited contact with other people and hardly even talked much with Cillian. When she ran errands in town, the kids took to calling her ”Ghost Girl” for how she appeared so rarely and then was gone just as fast. She simply shrugged the nickname off and ignored them, after all she knew what a real ghost was.

Senna not only learned about the Wizarding World from Cillian, but she was also his house servant, handling all the chores and errands for the older man. He would always tell her that her namesake was her only keepsake and that she had to live up to it. For Senna means "Brilliance" and her surname of Yardeen meaning "Flowing Down". Her name was her cherished last gift from her parents whom she knew next to nothing about.

For the most part Senna’s days were full of chores and reading, but she made the best of it by immersing herself in books and literature of a world that she knew one day she would be a part of. Her life continued on like this, studying magic as much as Cillian would allow until she eventually received her admission letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry......
