Character Backstory
Denisse was born in an urban city hospital in London, UK on May 22, 2014. She was born prematurely and her dad cried when he learned Denisse had to stay in the ICU because of the water found in her lungs and she may be in the brink of death. Her parents are of Filipino and Spanish descent. She first flew a plane to the countryside to where her mother's family lived when she was 5 months old so that her father could focus on studying for the bar exam. Few moments later, her dad graduated from law school. Her father is a lawyer, and her mother works a corporate job. She had a fairly normal childhood, going to a Muggle private school, struggling to find friends at first until she met her soon-to-be lifelong best friend named Sophia at the age of nine. She has a younger brother of 3 years named Dylan and a younger sister of Dahlia of 7 years. They live in a village in an urban city in Cambridge, England. On her elementary school days, she was what you call the "quiet kid" due to her reserved nature. Aside from the fact she likes to keep to herself, she was also known for being kind and sensitive. She's the type who would do acts of service and pet every cat and dog she sees in the street. Her personality may be derived from the environment she grew up in. She witnesses her parents fight sometimes and being excluded from play dates at school. She was also criticized at a young age from her peers and from her parents. Because of this, she naturally became a people-pleaser. She stops complaining, asking for help, what she wants, and whatever she thinks will bother people.

First Instance of Magic
At age nine, she accidentally performed magic for the first time. Together with her best friend, she was meticulously assembling this small model of a Victorian apothecary in this lovely backyard. This hostile neighboring dog suddenly leaps the fence, barking loudly, and charges directly at them. The entire model begins to slide off towards the grass while her friend, terrified, jerks back and strikes the table with her elbow. Seeing her companion in distress and the model on the verge of breaking, she extends her hands trying to save the model. The model freezes in midair, few inches above the ground, inside this azure bubble of light. The model had been placed back in the table. The neighbor chased after the dog, apologized, checked on Sophia, and walked the dog back to his respective yard. With astonished faces from both Denisse and her best friend, that was the moment that her life will start to change forever.

Personality
She is dynamic, expressive, and curious. While she is welcoming and gentle, she possesses a strong need for personal freedom and may resist authority or traditional routines that feel restrictive. Her sense of identity is deeply tied to the work she does and the services she provides to others. She is also competent, detail-oriented, and hard-working who values order and practical knowledge, especially more than theory. She is a problem-solver with a "work hard, play hard" mentality. She possesses the persistence to see long-term tasks through to completion. She is generally likable, optimistic, and humorous, making her a fun and interesting person. She is a natural mediator and supporter who often seeks emotional fulfillment through others. She is fiercely loyal, compassionate, adaptable and sensitive. So if she got hurt or mistreated in any way, she's not gonna let go easily and may start thinking about going for the kill. She doesn't take rubbish crap from anybody and will be brutally honest about it.
