♣︎ OOC note:
This is a girl with dark brown eyes and black hair that falls to her waist. She is fond of wearing a dark shade of burgundy on her lips on occasions. You can always discern a silver ring with a turquoise diamond on her finger (feeling it and moving it around calms her down when she's uneasy).
The most important thing she always tries her best to be is kind. Kind to give the beggar around the corner a piece of snack when passing by. Kind to smile at strangers on the pavement when your eyes meet. Kind to stop and hold the door in case someone is coming from behind you. And as she grew she gradually learned that she can be good AND have a backbone to stand up for herself. She has a strict conscience as well as a strong sense of justice (which maybe has something to do with her autism), the latter of which always makes her speak up for others when she witnesses them being treated illy. She likes being perfectly organized with her plans, her to-dos or her notes; yet she's pretty disappointing when it comes to punctuality. She can be quite a Puck around people she's acquainted well with. Her strongest weapon that gets her through it all is resilience — it's a quiet, yet lasting sort of courage, indeed. She believes in the power and worth of vulnerability even in front of people who hurt her.
She lived with her parents in a quiet, neat neighbourhood in Keswick, the Lakes — no siblings, but a Burmilla cat named Audrey. Her favourite subjects at Muggle school were French, drama and philosophy. She holds a keen passion for classical literature — works such as Jane Eyre or Pride and Prejudice. And she loves listening to Taylor Swift. She believes being a witch doesn't affect her affection for those things in any way — because we are all just human in the end, and art and its emotions know no boundary between the magical and the practical.
The very first incident where she became aware of any magical traits of hers occurred when she was 8. She was being rather wild and careless on the swing. No other soul was on the playground except little her. It was such a free sensation when she soared up into the blue. But then her hands lost grasp of the swing and she went on in the air without it. Recalling it now, it all seems rather hilarious — but in that moment she truly saw her life flash before her. She didn't fall onto the ground in a physically sound manner — she floated gently like a feather until her feet touched the grass as lightly as those belonging to a ballerina. Don't ask her how she ever managed to convince her parents of the truth of this event — maybe she did it with magic, too.
Reducio
☯︎I had been a Gryffindor my whole life, according to every sorting test I've taken including the official one. It is rather strange to suddenly belong to another house where the spirit isn't quite the fiery, lofty ardour you have always carried within you for as long as you remember. But I'm endeavouring to embrace my new house (in this game at least) — maybe there is also a Hufflepuff side of me next to the Gryffindor one that I haven't yet given enough attention to. And all of this doesn't mean leaving the side of the bonfire.
