She tried the little golden key in the lock, and to her great delight it fitted! Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head through the doorway; 'and even if my head would go through,' thought poor Alice, 'it would be of very little use without my shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only knew how to begin.' For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.

𝑬 𝑨 𝑹 𝑳 𝒀 ● 𝑳 𝑰 𝑭 𝑬 | Tourists of muggle and magical background alike flock to Brighton & Hove in droves, especially in the summer. Because of the high population density, the Sables have taken it upon themselves to become familiar with muggle technology and ways of life. She lives with her parents and older sister in the more hilly part of town. The air always smells salty and refreshing, and even in the stormy months, Gem is fascinated by how strongly the waves crash upon the shore. She's also the person to go to if you'd like to experience some of Brighton's hidden wonders, rather than the usual touristy spots.

Gemima went to a muggle school for her pre-Hogwarts education. Then, weekly gatherings were hosted at family friends' houses to keep the children knowledgeable about their magical heritage. Despite being surrounded with people both at school and these meetings, Gemima had very few friends growing up. It was getting to the point where Gemima could no longer get by without actually talking to her peers. She often spent many a sunny afternoon down by the beach while the other kids were gallivanting around the boardwalk. However, she still wants to make friends, and hopes that at Hogwarts, she can find her voice.
𝑺 𝑪 𝑯 𝑶 𝑶 𝑳 ● 𝑳 𝑰 𝑭 𝑬 | Upon starting at Hogwarts, Gemima has successfully come out of her shell. She was surprised at how easy it was to make friends once she put her mind to it. She's met so many lovely and interesting people so far, and is excited for what's yet to come. Of course, she still has her worries whenever she meets someone new, but she pushes past them the best she can.

As expected, Gem's made the list of top students in every one of her classes. She find all her coursework invigorating, and even reads the textbooks for fun. And the castle! It's simply amazing that she even gets to live in such a place. She's determined to explore every nook and cranny. She spends a good deal of time in the library, poring over as many books as she can out of the vast collection. She sometimes hovers by the Restricted section, but never goes in. Not yet, at least. She still has her doubts about things, but is overall overjoyed to be starting her magical academic career.

𝑭 𝑰 𝑹 𝑺 TM A G I C | Living by the seaside has its perks--the weather is never dull, the air always smells of refreshing salt, and kids like Gemima learn to swim as soon as they can walk. This is mostly because of safety; you don't want your kid to become a headline, but you also want them to grow familiar with their environment. Gemima fell in love with the water at a very early age, and spends every moment she can down at the beach. When she wasn't reading a too large book under the shade, or making award winning sand sculptures, she was paddling around in the shallows, while her mother chatted away with her friends.


One fateful summer day, seven year old Gem was bobbing around as usual. The water was cool against her skin. All of a sudden, she realized that she was a lot farther away from shore than she had thought. She tried to swim back, but only drifted further out to sea. A huge wave sent her careening into the depths of the ocean. When Gemima opened her eyes again, she saw the sky and the clouds through the sun dappled water. It was beautiful, like a painting. That's when she realized that she was breathing underwater! Just like the mermaids in her favorite storybooks. She managed to breathe long enough for a lifeguard to come and bring her back to her mother. Once Maggie got over the initial shock and anger, she realized that her daughter had been dry the whole car ride home, as if nothing happened.

Gemima is naturally curious, inquisitive, and is in love with learning new things. She’s smart, of course, but that goes beyond books, as she sees the value in learning about the people and the world around her, too. Gem harbors an artistic soul, and uses her eye for detail in hobbies such as sketching and painting. She's also able to be both logical and empathetic--sensitive to others' needs while still speaking the truth. Once she puts her mind to something, she doesn't back down, and she can keep a level head when others are panicking. She's often told that she's "mature for her age", as she will think thoroughly about most things.

Anxiety has always been a part of Gem's life. It causes her to second guess herself, and she may appear cold and aloof to others at first. Having grown up surrounded by stories of success and fame, she often downplays her achievements, thinking that she can't possibly be as great as everyone believes she is. (Although, she is improving her confidence as the years go by.) Her logical side can cause her to be blunt, and her curiosity can get her into trouble. She can focus intensely on things, but that makes her unaware of other people and her surroundings.

Description:
Gemima has long, straight brown-black hair. It's often kept in a ponytail, since that's easiest, but she has gotten quite good at braiding it too. She no longer feels a need to hide behind it anymore-- perhaps this is a sign that she's finally breaking out of her shell? Dark, almond shaped eyes sit within an adorably round face. Formerly awkward and scrawny limbs are becoming much more refined and elegant to match her developing body. She's grown a bit over the summer, but is nowhere near her full height.
────────────────────────
Style:
They say clothing is one of the best ways to express yourself, and Gem is no exception. Gone are the stuffy, luxurious fashion brands, and in are new, more comfortable outfits. Flowy skirts, comfy t-shirts, smart button ups, and artsy shoes, all with an air of elegance that Gem can't quite seem to shake. It's simple, and and simple is enough-- for now. The borderline plain jane style can only satisfy her artist's mind for so long, especially as the girl continues to experiment with her ensembles. Think of it as the calm before the storm...

☆ MAGGIE SABLE ☆
Reducio
Ever the socialite, Maggie Sable is the life of the party in every room she enters. Her successful modeling career only helps matters. She's obsessed with looking her best, and has knowledge of the fashion world's ins and outs. She was a Thunderbird at Ilvermorny during her academic years, and that tenacity and energy has followed her into her adult life.

Whenever she and Gem are out in the city, her mother seems to know anyone they come across, even the tourists. When Gem asks why this is, she’s met with a mysterious smile. “It pays to maintain certain connections, darling. You’ll understand when you’re older." She's truly the most glamorous witch about town, and she makes sure everyone knows it. Gem looks up to her for her outgoing attitude and spontaneity. Her mother may be a bit overbearing and dramatic at times, but who is Gem to say no to her?

☆ CATHERINE SABLE ☆
Reducio
Cath is a rebellious, hardheaded Gryffindor. She's adventurous, brash, a little bit airheaded. She dreams of becoming a famous quidditch player someday, maybe even play for the Holyhead Harpies! Good old Cather has a knack for getting herself and anyone nearby into trouble, but what’s life without a little risk?

Gem has always looked up to her older sister, ever since they were tiny. Cath's been keeping up her rebellious teenager routine, but Gem's not too worried anymore. They still tease each other back and forth, and while Cath might have other things to do, she still has a soft spot for her little sister. After all, who else will be the lookout for her crimes adventures?

☆BOWEN ZHAO☆
Reducio
Gemima feels like she gets her introverted traits from her father. He’s the voice of reason to Maggie’s flamboyant, frivolous tendencies. They have a pretty solid relationship, with great support and adorable teasing banter. Gem told him once that she wanted what they have when she’s grown up; she simply got an amused grin in return.

As a young lad, Bowen was sorted into Slytherin House. His ambition and quick mind have stayed with him through the years, making him a formidable business-wizard. He's a respected figure in the Department of International Magical Cooperation. But Bowen is a family man at heart, and loves his girls very much. Sadly his job calls for lengthy business trips to lands untold. Gem knows that he's just a phone call away, but she doesn't want to bother him with her troubles. He's probably off doing more important things, like saving the wizarding world. She still has fond memories of him though, and cherishes his time at home.

☆ (MARCELLA WEBB) ☆

There's this pretty blonde girl that Cath's been hanging around lately. She's a bit snarky, but she seems to share Gem's affinity for fashion. What was her name again? Right, Marcella-- no, Marcie. She seems to be really close with her sister... Could something more be developing between them? Perhaps only time will tell...

New Friends -You’ve managed to befriend Gem! Don’t get too comfortable though—you’re not that close yet.
Good Friends - Gem genuinely likes you! You’ve spent a lot of time together, and you know her quite well. But there are still some things that she’s not ready to share with you...
Inner Circle - Gem loves you! Platonically of course. She trusts you deeply, and she’ll be your shoulder to cry on, if you’re willing to be hers in return.
Crush - What’s this? Gem’s caught feelings? Yes, and you’re the lucky target! Whether things go further—well, only time will tell.
Annoyance - Gem doesn’t like you—plain and simple. You best watch what you say or do, because she’s not as polite as she seems.
Enemy - Gem doesn’t like to throw around the word hate, but she’s tempted to use it to describe you.
Lover - Ah, young love! Gem’s got her sights set on you!

Red Oak Wood and Dragon Heartstring, 29,4 cm

❝ Bendy, gets along well with highly intuitive wizards who also have a certain affinity for nature.❞
Reducio
❝You will often hear the ignorant say that red oak is an infallible sign of its owner’s hot temper. In fact, the true match for a red oak wand is possessed of unusually fast reactions, making it a perfect duelling wand. Less common than English oak, I have found that its ideal master is light of touch, quick-witted and adaptable, often the creator of distinctive, trademark spells, and a good man or woman to have beside one in a fight. Red oak wands are, in my opinion, among the most handsome.❞
Reducio
❝As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner. The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.❞
