_____________________________________________
LAUREN LORATRIX VANES is a sleek young woman and can be described as slender and willowy. Her icy blue eyes appear to be capable of staring into others' minds at first glance, which may cause peers to isolate her due to the eerie sensation she brings to many. Billowing, wavy blonde hair roughly outlines her diamond-shaped face, dangling loosely on its end. Her rosy cheeks highlights her unique aesthetic as sleek and stylish, which is naturally inherited from birth.
Lauren is a young, ambitious woman with academically-oriented goals. She strives for intelligence and often reads her siblings' Hogwarts textbooks for fun, and has ambitions to stand out from her peers and be treated differently. She can also be described as sly or cunning. She was naturally gifted at memorization and could charm people easily, which explains how she gains the praises of her parents with minimal effort -- they would yowl with surprise and pride if she did so much as sprinkle confetti in a family gathering. Often the favourite child of her parents due to her immense charming, her older siblings, Arianna and Felix, would secretly envy her recieved favouritism and plan an act of revenge, *unfortunately* diminishing the relationship between Lauren and her siblings. When she was only 4, she could expertly find ways to bypass her family's strict rules and have everything her way, and could even fool her astute parents when she set her mind to it. *

At first, life was perfect. She was her parents' favourite daughter, described as the "perfect little witch" from when she was between the ages of 0-4. Until the day where everything was changed, and her whole world was swept away like dust by the wind. And it was just because of a stupid instance of magic.
*: This is between the ages of 0-6. After she reached her sixth birthday, her family's view of her changed drastically because of the following instance of magic.
_____________________________________________
Blaze, the Vanes family cat, was excitedly jumping around Lauren's normally-silent room. He pawed the ground, sniffing Lauren's bed curiously, knawed a chunk of silk out of her blanket, and licked it. Recoiling in disgust, Blaze threw down his so-called "meal" on Lauren's bed, and began to dive beneath Lauren's blankets in his search for food. He had been fed only the day before, yet his stomach was grumbling like Lauren's great-grandfather.
Blaze licked the rosy cheeks of the unsuspecting Lauren, then bent his head to cuddle up beside her. Her sweet scent filled his nose as he drifted into --
His paws were sticky with blood, flowing out of Lauren's arm like a current. His claw marks were engraved deeply in her arm, and she let out a shrill scream which distorted the air. Then the truth dawned on him. He, Blaze, had accidentally clawed Lauren.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Lauren saw her sticky blood flowing out into her white bed, and a scream of pure horror and disgust filled the air. She glanced at her right side, and saw the terrorized eyes of Blaze shining under the covers. Fury boiled inside her. That wretched cat, had he grown so careless as to injure her so badly? Or was it intentional?
She glared at Blaze with outrage, who expeditiously raced into her room doorway, clearly trying to notify her parents or attempting to escape from the consequences of his actions. Blinded by pure rage, she gritted her teeth, and had caused the flames to rise into the air and sing the edge of her mahogany bedside table, turning the expensive, fine wood into blackened, smoking crust before extinguishing itself as quickly as it had appeared. Thankfully, Blaze had escaped Lauren's wrath, carefully dodging the flames and whimpered in the corner of the room, shaken but unharmed. Lauren herself also remained unharmed but was terrorised, staring with horror as she sat upright on her bed.
From that moment on, Lauren's family had appeared to disown her, and she was no longer the favourite child as they viewed her as a monster for nearly causing fatal injury for their beloved Blaze. When status and belonging meant everything to her world, losing it was like losing her soul -- yes, she still had over-ambitious goals, and was more frustrated by her parents' consequent hatred for her than guilty for her uncontrollable anger. She was still the Lauren they loved -- no, they once loved, but they had turned against her -- the whole of her family had -- just because of her lack of self-control. She had lost everything, and naturally nobody was going to sympathise.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Aunt Loratrix was the only person who truly understood Lauren's frustration. She was the only family relative who would care for her during family gatherings, and only she would even talk to Lauren. She had once been disowned from the Vanes family for being a Slytherin (it should only consist of Ravenclaws), so she knew exactly how Lauren felt. She was the one who acted like Lauren's true mother, encouraging her to stand up to her situation and become the best person she could be, while making sure to the fact that she would have enjoyment and luxury.

Plans for the future (will code this later)
first year: neglected by family, hated, finds friends, pranks on siblings, attempts to get revenge, becomes besties with Briar Anderson
second year: Lauren's mother forbids Lauren from meeting aunt loratrix because she knows aunt Loatrix is her only source of happiness within the family and she wants her to be more miserable. Lauren is devastated and keeps sending owls to aunt Loratrix, but her siblings bewitched every owl she touched to fly straight to the Vanes family mansion
Third year: Aunt Loratrix dies from a mysterious murder, and Lauren is devastated. No one in the family attends her funeral and Lauren is forbidden to attend, and sees her Aunt's ghost looming helplessly towards her, but fades into mist when she tries to speak to her. Lauren practices Dark Magic, buys a pet snake, and attempts to use it to kill her parents, but fails. Briar Anderson would be her only emotional anchor to life, and she engages in self-harming chaos, only to be stopped by Briar.
Fourth Year: Becomes a duellist, realising that she could only get better at spells and subsequent revenge if she knew how to use them properly. Sneaks into Restricted Section of the Library every day to try to resurrect her aunt. Dreams are still haunted at night, and Lauren refuses to go back home for summer, christmas and easter, so she lives with Briar.
Fifth Year: Finds out that her pet snake has gained a new ability to attack others in command. She attends a family gathering for once, bringing her snake with her, and the snake bites her parents and her siblings. They go to St. Mungos for several days but unfortunately for Lauren, they recovered and have been plotting more revenge on her. Seeks Briar for comfort. Gets really good grades for OWLs, however, because she wants to surpass her siblings.
Sixth Year: Tries really hard to get permission to get to the restricted section, and becomes a restricted defense against the Dark Arts Learner. Gains happiness from the knowledge that what she was doing could harm her family very much, and her mind becomes more twisted with darkness. Fights ever more fiercely in duelling. Vows to avenge Aunt Loratrix's death.
Seventh Year: Attempts to murder family, but was unsucessful. Did not get caught by anyone, however. Older sister, Arianna, adopts a daughter (age 2 at that time), who loves Lauren more than her own mother. Is the only person in the family who doesn't hate Lauren, and tries to be with her (is also a Parselmouth and Slytherin). Gets motivated and scores really high in NEWTs and learns every single restricted defense against the dark arts spell.
Adult: Becomes a Ministry Level 3 Employee for a 5 years, then becomes an oblivator for another 8 years. Arianna kills off her own adopted daughter (fifth year, age 15 at that time) simply because she adores Lauren too much and wants to be too much like her. Blinded by rage, Lauren learns the spell "Crucio". Uses it on her parents, Felix and Arianna after Arianna's adopted daughter was dead, and kills them with snake venom after they have been tortured enough (which is for a very long time). An Auror finds out, and sentences her to Azkaban for life even after she reveals how Arianna killed her own adopted daughter. Tries to escape.
