➥ DETAILS:
✧ With slender hands and long fingers, she prefers to have long nails, finding that it enhances them.
➥ DRESSING STYLE:
✧ Elise's style is a mix of dark academia, bringing elegance, downtown girl, bringing nostalgia and warmth, and chaotic academia, allowing her to express her more artistic side.

Biography:
✧ Link to a Pinterest board about her : https://pin.it/iPENUhvvY
➥ FAMILY:
✧ Elise was born in Corsham, England. She is the daughter of Morag and Holden Abberton.
✧ Her mother, Morag Abberton, formerly Morag Irving, is of Scottish descent, her own mother coming from Scotland. Morag, an ESFJ witch, runs the only flower shop in town. She taught Elise the basics of botany at a very young age, but Elise was never really interested.
✧ Her father, Holden Abberton, is an ISTP Muggle-born. He works as a teacher at the village school and is well-liked for his vast knowledge, natural authority, and patience with young children. It is thanks to him that Elise loves reading so much. In fact, her parents encouraged her to learn to read at a very young age, with her father fueling her passion by keeping the school library open for her.
✧ Elise is an only child, but she is very close to her cousin, Caitlyn Irving, as if they were sisters. She's the daughter of Morag's older brother (called Lewis Irving) and his wife Saoirse Irving. Caitlyn is an INFP born on November 21, 2013 who spends each summer at Elise's place with Morag and Holden in Castle Combe.
➥ CHILDHOOD:
✧ Elise enjoyed a fairly peaceful and comfortable childhood and never lacked love from her parents or felt afraid at home.
✧ Her mother, Morag Abberton Irving, is a brilliant witch in magical botany and a gentle, cheerful woman. She paints with Elise on rainy days, teaches her the names of plants, and cooks her delicious meals and cakes. She often hums while making tea, and she used to sing lullabies to her daughter when she was younger. Her mother is the kind of woman who kneels down to be at her child's eye level, who laughs loudly and smells of lavender and damp earth.
✧ Her father, Holden Abberton, is less expressive but just as present. He was the one who read her stories at night (Scottish tales, legends), taught her to recognize the constellations, and carried her on his shoulders during village festivals. He is the kind of father who can do and fix anything, who reads the Muggle newspaper as well as the Daily Prophet every morning, and who keeps all the drawings his daughter makes for him.
Elise grows up in a peaceful place, without shouting or tension.
✧ And as far back as she can remember, she has always known that magic existed. It has always been all around her in her everyday life. When she was old enough to understand, her mother explained everything about the magical world to her and told her not to talk about it to others. Even her father, who is not a wizard, knows about it and finds it all fascinating but somewhat dangerous.
✧ Being an only child means she gets a lot of attention and adult conversations, but she also develops early maturity and a huge imagination from a young age (she invents friends and worlds). She learns early on to be independent, observant, comfortable with silence, and can spend hours alone under the willow tree.
✧ She doesn't like school very much, not because she doesn't like learning (on the contrary), but because she finds it boring. Elise has always been a serious and studious student, bringing home good grades and evaluations, without ever having to work too hard.
✧ In addition, she is a young girl who needs a lot of time to develop true trust and friendship, which means that she is always surrounded by only three very close friends (a boy she has been friends with since kindergarten named Andrew MacKay, a girl she met by chance in the forest one autumn day while out walking named Arabella Jack, and another girl she has been friends with since she was eight named Violet Shepherd).
✧ Elise does not talk about magic with them or with anyone else, except her cousin Caitlyn. Morag had already mentioned Hogwarts a few times, talking about her education there. The young girl understood that she would probably go there one day too, and she began to hope that she and her cousin would go together. Unfortunately, that will not be the case.
➥ ADMISSION LETTER:
The day Elise receives her letter to Hogwarts, she is sitting under the weeping willow, sketchbook on her lap, drawing as she often does. The air is mild, almost still. Suddenly, a shadow crosses the light and an owl descends silently to perch in the branches above her. An envelope falls beside her, thick, sealed with wax, her name written on it with precise elegance. For a moment, she remains frozen, her heart beating too fast. She understands even before opening the letter. She grabs the letter, jumps up abruptly, and runs toward the house, crossing the garden, pushing open the kitchen door where her parents are gathered. Out of breath, she hands them the envelope before breaking the seal before their eyes. Her mother is already smiling, radiant and proud, her father places a reassuring hand on her shoulder as she reads the words confirming her admission. As she finishes, an emotionally charged silence descends, followed by nervous laughter, discreet tears, and a hug that lasts a little too long. Caitlyn is there too, sitting at the table. She smiles, genuinely happy, but her gaze clouds over for a second when she realizes that Elise will be leaving soon.
➥ OUTSIDE HER HOUSE:
✧ Elise grew up in Castle Combe in a charming stone cottage built slightly set back from the village, at the end of a path lined with low stone walls and behind, meadows and forests. The building is nestled amidst the lush, verdant landscape of the garden.
✧ The cottage is constructed from rough-hewn stones, giving it a rustic and timeless feel. Its roof is tiled, and smoke often curls from two of the three prominent stone chimneys. The house is adorned with climbing plants and flowering vines, which add a touch of natural beauty and enchantment that Morag adores, softening the stonework. Numerous windows, many with multiple panes, punctuate the facade, bringing light in the interior all year round. The building is relatively large, with a small furnished porch at the rear overlooking the surrounding countryside.
✧ The surroundings are constituted of a well-tended garden bursts with a variety of flowering plants in shades of pink, purple, and white, interspersed with lush green foliage. A winding stone path leads through the gardenwhile a neatly manicured lawn stretches out before the cottage. In the large garden, most of the space is occupied by plants of all kinds, bordered on one side by the Bybrook River which runs through Castle Combe.
In the garden, there is also an old well filled with water, water lilies, and even a few fish swimming around.
✧ Beyond the garden, the landscape rises into a dense forest of mature trees, their leaves in varying shades of green or vibrant orange depending the season.
✧ When Elise was 5, Holden hung a wooden swing from one of the trees overlooking the fields at the top of a meadow near their house, and she still loves it.
✧ One of Elise's favorite things to do in the summer is to go for a ride on the Bybrook River among the water lilies in her father's rowboat. It is moored to a small wooden dock built by the former owners of an abandoned field where tall grasses grow.
✧ Symbolically, Morag, Elise's mother, wanted to plant a tree when her daughter was born. On the big day, Holden planted a tiny weeping willow by the river and Morag enchanted it alongside little Elise so that it would grow two meters per year. It was the first time the baby had witnessed an act of magic. Since then, the young girl has been in the habit of sheltering under the long branches of the tree in the summer with her cousin Caitlyn. They often have picnics there, enjoying the cool temperature brought by the water from the Bybrook River.
➥ INSIDE HER HOUSE:
✧ As for the interior of the house, the style is old-fashioned cottagecore. In almost every room, dark wooden beams are exposed and sometimes stone is too, giving the whole place a rustic but cozy feel. The floors are covered with beautiful old ash-brown parquet, varying in lightness depending on the room, and are usually covered with comfortable old rugs. The furniture is antique, either dark wood or almost white, most of the walls are covered with paintings by Morag or Elise herself, and books and plants can be seen everywhere, sometimes in unusual places.
✧ Elise's bedroom was fairly neutral until she decided to redecorate it during the summer of her ninth year. The room she occupied was on the first of the cottage's two floors, and she chose to move her belongings to the attic. The project took a long time but was quite fun and fruitful, as she found lots of wonderful things among her parents' old belongings that had been stored there. Elise recycled and repaired many old items with her father and Caitlyn, who had come to spend the summer there, so that she could reuse them in her new room. Once everything had been emptied, cleaned, and refurbished, she was able to move in.
✧ The room is spacious and has a few recesses where the windows are, so Elise was able to set up a small reading corner with a small bookcase and a comfortable sofa. She put her large bed next to the biggest window in the room and her antique wooden desk
in another corner below several long shelves holding books. The sloping ceiling was covered with small phosphorescent stars, and she loves to hang all kinds of warm light garlands on the dark exposed beams. The room also has many, perhaps too many, posters and drawings hanging on the few straight walls, plants in the corners, books everywhere, an old dressing table that belonged to her mother and has been refurbished, and an old armchair in surprisingly good condition covered with cushions in one corner.

First Instance of Magic:
✧ At the age of five, her magic began to manifest itself. When she couldn't sleep because of the frightening darkness of night, the birds her mother had painted on the walls of her bedroom came to life and flew gently around her under the moonlight, revealing her connection to the magical world.
