Physical Description: 5’0”, stocky, broad shoulders, long wavy brown hair she keeps in two braids, gap between her front teeth. Lisa has dark brown eyes and often sports sun burns from being outside often. Has many odd scrapes at any given time from recklessly exploring the outdoors (cuts from thorn bushes and street animals, scrapes on her knees, leaves in her hair, etc.) In an attempt to mitigate all this outdoors damage, Lisa wears long sleeves beneath her shirt and leggings beneath her skirt. The result is lots of small tears in her clothing.

Mental Description: Lisa is an outdoor child through and through. Restless, often hops from thought to thought. She enjoys exploring, playing sports, doing things with her hands. She is insecure about her ‘ruggedness’ and can be defensive when someone tells her she’s being too much. She can be envious over other girls’ appearance as she compares her lack of femininity. Lisa really enjoys traditionally feminine clothing, but she often shies away from them as she sees herself as unfit to don them. She is afraid to look silly. Takes a lot of pride in her knowledge of plants, animals, and her affinity for sports.

Biography: Lisa is the youngest child in her family. She has 3 older sisters aged 23, 20, and 18 respectively. She idolizes her sisters greatly, but is not close to them. With the large age gap, she instead grew up with her neighbor’s twin sons as playmates. Her neighbors are muggles and their sons were Squirrel Scouts (later Beaver Scouts) which enabled them to teach her everything they learned from their scout leader and foster her love for the outdoors. Lisa is the plainest looking in her family and spends a great deal of time wishing she fit in with her adult sisters. Lisa’s the closest to her father as she shares his love of sports, but she often tapers that part of herself down in a fruitless attempt to gain her sisters’ approval. Her mother has tried to foster good will between the four, but her sisters are simply too far gone from home to form a real relationship with their kid sister.

First Instance of Magic: Lisa’s first time displaying magic was when she and the twins (all aged 7) got overexcited as they ran around the hilly woods by their houses. Spotting a pretty plant in the distance for the three to identify and journal about, Lisa ran full speed down an uneven hill. She inevitably tripped and rolled down it, but to her surprise, her landing at the bottom was very soft. The ground was squishy like a sponge until she stood and it returned to its natural stage. Aware that her mother and sisters were all witches, this turn of events delighted but did not frighten Lisa.
