Physical Description: Reylin is a rather average height when compared to others in her family that are of her age, standing at 4'10. They look like the spitting image of their mother with rounded but delicate facial features, thick brows, reddish-auburn hair, incredibly light green eyes, and a generous coating of incredibly subtle freckles. they have an average body type, if not with a bit more plush to their legs arms and cheeks. Their hair, if looked at objectively, is rather odd. the back is short and fluffy, while the front is kept in two long braids -excluding their bangs which are left alone. they are almost never seen without a hat or headband of some sort to keep their hair separated properly, and they have one for every outfit. Their appearance is always incredibly neat and put together, and they buy all of their clothing as a set, never mixing and matching, always having very coordinated clothing, even having glasses of different colors to match different outfits. They usually lean towards more traditionally feminine clothing because it makes them feel like their mother who they look up to greatly.

Mental Description: Reylin is a rather neutral person, remaining calm under most circumstances. They get a lot of their mannerisms from trying to emulate their mother, such as the way they fold their hands neatly in front of them or in their lap, or how they move their whole body in the direction that they're about to turn. They don't have any friends outside of their family, but they generally prefer it that way. They dislike loud noise and people who talk to them when they're trying to focus on something. They don't talk very much, never actively attempting to join a conversation or put themselves out there, preferring to keep to their own unless mandated by a teacher for a project.

Biography: Being a predominantly Slytherin pureblood family, their family wasn't able to help but be a bit bigoted towards muggle-borns, but they function on a live and let live policy. As long as muggle-borns and half-bloods don't try to encroach on them following their traditions, they wont comment on their lives. Their mother is the head of the house, and the heir of the family, the current matriarch being her mother, Reylin's grandmother. Their father isn't really in the picture - what with him being a scoundrel that their grandmother got rid of the moment he dared to so much as raise his voice at her daughter- but they don't mind his absence in the slightest, finding it to be a reason to spend more time with their mother. Despite being an only child, their house never felt empty. All of the family had an interconnecting floo system that they used frequently, and their family was visiting so often that their presence combined with their mother's ever present warmth made sure that they never felt like their house wasn't a home.

First Instance of Magic: When they were around two years old a house elf accidentally spilled hot tea into their mothers lap and the tea froze out of their worry that their mother would get burned. They didn't implicitly do anything to it, the tea simply froze, leading to them being incredibly confused for a long moment before their mother excitedly showered them in praise.
