Miryam Mbassi
Full Name: Miryam Mbassi
House: Slytherin
Age: 14
School Year: 4th
Species: Human
History/Background Story: Somebody has to provide the Cocoa for exploding bon-bons and chocolate frogs, and that's Miryam's family. Miryam's father, Clovis met Miryam's mother at her family's winery. The Mbassi family had a long standing partnership with the Aveline family, to the point where if one of their children insisted on a gap year to 'see the world' they were simply sent to the other family's home. Clovis was one of those children that wanted to see what else the world had to offer, if there was something he rather be doing than working on the family Cocoa farm. Where he met Miryam's mother Noëlle.
Miryam grew up on her Grandmother's cocoa plantation, along with [most] of her cousins. Doing her part to care for the Cocoa trees, clearing paths for her aunts, uncles, and parents to harvest and eventually getting to harvest herself. She was raised speaking English but her french mother insisted on her learning french as well so they could visit her family without a language barrier separating them.
Miryam grew up going to Quidditch games, her family being rich purebloods. Thanks to their successful Cocoa company, it was uncommon for Miryam to miss the world cup. She still remembers the first time she went, at only four years old she sat atop her Father's shoulders watching the players whiz about. Ever sense then Miryam has adored Quidditch. Growing up on a toy broomstick and playing Quidditch-like games with her cousins as soon as their chores were done. Her favorite was when they were clearing out the Cocoa beans that hadn't grown properly and couldn't be used. They would throw them at the people below like bludgers and it was the job of the people below to hit them away with a stick, extra points if it hit someone else. When Miryam was six she announced that one day, she was going to win the world cup with her team as a bludger. Her father, wanting to support her dream, used his woodcarving skills to make Miryam a beater's bat out of one of the cocoa trees that had been destroyed in a storm. Her parents gave her this bat when she was 9 and they believed she wouldn't hurt herself.
While a pure-blood Miryam has some interaction with the muggle world thanks to the Mbassi family blacksheep, Anacle. Who married a muggle woman and runs a convenience store with her in the nearest town. Because of this she has heard of and tried most muggle candies and knows what a magazine is.
First Instance of Magic:When Miryam was 4, on of her older cousins snuck up behind her and startled her. Grabbing her shoulders and shouting 'Rawr!'. This made Miryam jump and then promptly hiccup bright purple bubbles. She continued hiccuping these bubbles for the rest of the day.
