Physical Description: Iridia usually has long brown hair, which is wavy, and is usually complimented with a flower or a bow at the front of her hair. Her skin is rather, which she gets from her mother, with mostly grey eyes, although in the sun they tend to look a bit more blue. She has freckles dotted around her face that get darker when she is out in the sun, and her cheeks go slightly rosy too. Since she does not have complete control of her metamorphmagus abilities, her facial looks, hair colour and eye colour do change. She usually a skirt along with her usual shirt, with a few bracelets for accessories, and two rings, both containing her houses signets. She is rather short, at 4’6, so she struggles to reach for things high up. She has small natural markings on her arms, with a birthmark on her right hand which is a teardrop shape.

Mental Description: At first glance, Iridia can appear rather introverted and aloof. She is regularly seen alone, crocheting or writing, or even studying. She doesn’t speak a lot, at least from what is seen, unless she is in a classroom, and when she is spoken to, she is soft spoken, and sometimes remains silent. In truth, she is just very anxious, growing up in a home with no siblings, and having to learn how to speak and interact socially with other heirs her parents friends had, she did have any true friends to keep her company. So, she often fears she will make a fool of herself, and so she tends to stray away from people, purely due to that, because she is simply unsure on how to appear interesting, or fun, to other people.

However, if you get to know her for her, and not assume how she is or how she acts, she’s actually very sweet. Iridia is incredibly selfless, and will put others before herself, always, no questions asked. She tries to always go through with favours and promises, and if she can’t, she tries to make up for it anyway possible. Iridia is also just, she treats people fairly, however she isn’t afraid to stand up for herself or others when it is needed, especially in the face or bigotry or bullies, and if it’s a pureblood she’s needing to scare off, she isn’t afraid to use her pureblood self and nature to do so, because names have power. Iridia is also someone who gets very stressed quite easily, she gets stressed if she believes she has messed up, done something wrong, or if she is behind a schedule, or anything similar. She is trying to work on it, but the stresses of being heiress has put a lot of pressure on her to keep up appearances, and sometimes that does take it’s toll on her.

Her father always said she had her mother’s temper, it was a calm anger, one that made people unsure of motives, however her hair usually turns red if she is angry, which is always a telltale sign, and she was taught to use her calm anger to her advantage.

However, these instances are not very frequent, as her shy nature, and fear of being seem as abnormal, which is hard not to do when her appearance changes randomly and not at will, and weird, gets in the way of that response to stand up to others, so sometimes she doesn’t, and she is too afraid to, but she will always try.

Iridia unfortunately is not able to hide her emotions well, this is due mostly to her metamorphmagus abilities, any emotion she experiences tends to make her hair colour change, red, yellow, pink, whatever you can think of, it happens. If she lies, her hair goes a light purple, if she is embarrassed, her hair goes a bright pink, sadness is blue, happy is shades of yellow. So she wants to be able to control her abilities, but with her stress, she finds it hard to do so, and she also struggles to ask for help with it.

Biography: Greece, that’s where Iridia grew up for the first 5 years of her life. Her father, Linus Calathes, is the now family head of the calathes family, a Greek Pureblood family. So she grew up speaking two languages, Greek and English. Iridia was born as a metamorphmagus, something that was thought to be extinct on her fathers side, as her great-great-great grandmother had metamorphmagus abilities, but no one in generations had shown the abilities since. Her family saw her as a blessing, and confirmation that they still had the ability, and it had just been lying dormant. She grew up as an only child, and therefore the heiress to that half of her family, which meant she had a status and a reputation to uphold, but also one that she could change, and make great. It was a lot for a child, but she had been raised for it. Despite most of the family living in Greece, every one of them had gone to Hogwarts for their schooling, all of them being Gryffindors, because, as her grandfather said.

‘We only want the best for our family and heirs’

And the best was hogwarts. Her mother, Eileen Wyall, was the heir, and now like her father, family head to the Wyall family. A British pureblood family, of all Slytherins, with a dark past, killing innocents and throwing random spells at them for no reason other than blood status, something that did not better them, but that’s all the information Iridia knew, she has never got any more details than that, however she is constantly asking her mother about it, but she never has any luck with finding out more. Her grandparents and mother had been strict, and when she was born, an only child and heiress to not only their family, but her fathers too, meant they wanted the best from her. She grew up with etiquette lessons, learning family trees, their families history, the bad and good. Her mother had wanted to raise her how she had been raised, strict Pureblood values, while she did not care for much else, her father was the fun parents. Her mother made sure she had everything she needed to learn, and did not let her slack, and genuinely didn’t give her much luck as she grew. While her father and his family were the opposite, they surprisingly agreed on a lot, and one of those was providing Iridia with every opportunity possible as she grew up. So ballet lessons, ballroom dancing, languages, tutors. She grew up going to events with other heirs, making friends, or, connections as her grandparents and mother called them. Despite that, she still tried to be her best, to be herself, and do what she wanted to.

Despite growing up as an heiress, having to do things a certain way, and having to learn how to speak, walk, she still had a happy life. After moving to England at the age of 5, she was quick to enjoy her time at their new home, the main Wyall estate the family head and their family lived in, which was now her mother’s, and would be hers one day. She loved playing pranks on her parents, trying to hide herself with her abilities, especially when they were at events her parents friends held, although unsuccessfully, as her parents could always tell who she was, despite what she did to change her appearance. Her mother never liked her doing it, and led to her being scolded, or grounded if needed. Her mother did not approve of such pranks, but her father did, so she did, somewhat, grew up happy, cared for and loved, although with a dark shadow looming over one of her heirships, due to the dark past it held, and her mothers tough love, or lack of love, always holding a piece of her away.

And now she is 11, and at hogwarts, something she had been excited for ever since she was a young girl, although she knows she has expectations to uphold, two family names to better, one that may be challenging, and that people may judge her for. But despite that, she is determined to have fun, make friends, if she doesn’t get too nervous. She wanted to be able to enjoy herself, and make life long connections, maybe even find a future with someone, like her parents, if she is so fortunate.

First Instance of Magic: Iridia’s first bought of accidental magic happened at the age of 3, early for some, although late for her father’s line, and it came after arguing with her mother about a picture book she had wanted to buy in a small store in a wizarding village near their home in Greece. A few tears, sudden yelling, and BOOM, the whole shelf was floating, and then it crashed to the floor, scattering books around the place. But, instead of anger, her mother picked her up, payed for the damages and took her home, and shouted at how she had her first bought of accidental magic. Her whole family, well the whole of her fathers extended family had been there, and they are celebrated for her, proclaiming she would be the best heir they had, and hosted a small party to celebrate.
