Physical Description: Concetta has a shorter stature of 139cm/4'5, with black hair that dwarfs her height with the mid-back length of it, contrasting with her bright blue eyes and the rosy dusting of her lips and cheeks. Much of her face and arms are dotted in child-like freckles from playing outside, which she's not fond of, but likes more than the snags on her nails from biting at them and the surrounding skin. When she smiles, you can see her two front teeth have a gap between them, along with having 2 canines on each side due to the baby teeth not falling out and the adult ones settling comfortably on top of them. There's no chewing advantage to these extra teeth, but they may stick out of her lips should they get snagged.

Mental Description: Unlike her parents and older siblings, Concetta has a more friendly and less argumentative demeanor, often to a fault since she doesn't notice the faults in people. Despite that, she has a healthy self-confidence but spends more time thinking than doing. Initially upon meeting people or when in an unfamiliar setting, she tends to be shy and closed off, but having just one friend will give her the confidence to talk to everyone in the room. Despite the positive aura and tendency to see the bright side of things, she has a deep-seated sadness and regret for being sorted into Hufflepuff and not Slytherin like her family, which very rarely manifests as resentment towards other members of the house.

Biography: Concetta is the second youngest of the Poisionwoods, a pureblooded wizard family who settled in England in the 1970s. Her parents both graduated from Hogwarts as Slytherin, and are known to excel at potionmaking as opposed to other kinds of magic, leading to her capitalistic father creating the 'Poisonwood Potion' line of premade (but not as effective) off-the-shelf potions, which is how the family built a rapid fortune. Due to their riches, Concetta and her siblings have never gone without, consequently adopting spoiled attitudes and expectations.

Along with her parents, both of her older siblings have attended Hogwarts and been sorted into Slytherin, creating a tense expectation to keep the pattern. Though they have never overtly stated the disappointment in her, she can tell from the avoidance of the topic that nobody's particularly happy about it. Despite being a close family, the siblings have a bad habit of integrating annoying hexes and charms during petty arguments and tiffs. Consequently, there's a wand basket that Mama makes everyone put their wands in at dinner.

As a young child, she had a dream of playing Quidditch, but it was quickly forgotten when she got hit in the face with the ball. The way it made her see colours with a spinning head made her reevaluate the ambition. Other than Quidditch, she had also taken part in ballet, theater, and band which were short lived. In primary school, she excelled at reading, and read at a rapid pace with sufficient comprehension, but where she excelled at language, she lacked at maths, struggling with basic multiplication.

First Instance of Magic: Concetta's first instance of magic occurred when as a toddler, she was allowed to play with the cat. Being young and curious, she pulled the cat's tail, tugged on his whiskers, and grabbed at him. When the cat hissed and went to scratch her, he disappeared and reappeared on the ceiling for a few seconds. As he was up there, the family got to see him, and the only other person in the room was the toddler crying that the cat is out of reach now.
