Serenity Arellano Ilvermorny

Name: Serenity Arellano

Age: 14

School Year: 4th

House: Horned-Serpent

Race: Human

Blood Status: Muggle-Born

Appearance: Serenity has long, black curly hair and pretty brown eyes. Her skin is a shade of milky chocolate, but she often experiments with makeup. She genuinely likes wearing makeup and usually has it on. Whether it be to make her lips a pretty shade of red or purple, or to just have winged eyeliner, it's all good for her.

She's very tall for her age, standing at 5'10, and hopefully reaching 6'0 by the time she's 18. Because she's tall, she usually wears pants or shorts, and is self-conscious about dresses.

Personality: Serenity is very sweet and utterly calm. She dreams of being a therapist when she's an adult, and studies everything about personalities and traits. In any incident, she's the one to calm everyone down, and make sure that everyone is okay. She's usually very nice and super helpful.

However, she can be extremely brash and unkind if she isn't paying attention. She's blunt and rude if she doesn't like someone, and can easily start a fight. Her height would be an advantage, too. Despite this, she does try to stay polite to her peers and teachers. She certainly isn't someone you would want to mess with.

History: Serenity was born on March 7th, 2005, at midnight exactly. Her parents were very loving, and absolutely adored Serenity and her older brothers, Mark, Jackson, and Jay. Jay was the eldest, and Mark and Jackson were twins. Serenity ended up spending the majority of her time with Jay, which is why she was always calm towards Mark and Jack.
She was the only person in her family to show magical signs. Just when she was seven years old, she made a book her mother was reading, fly all the way over to her, and begin reading itself to Serenity. Her parents were shocked and terrified, and were very upset. When someone came and explained that she was a witch, her parents began disassociating themselves from her, and thus she moved in with Jay and his girlfriend, Penelope.
When she turned eleven and went to Ilvermourney, Serenity was terrified. What if she was the only one who as brought up by muggles? What if she ended up failing her classes? She was soon sorted into Horned-Serpent, and her journey began.
In an instant she was making friends left and right, and excelling in her classes. Everything felt right to be a witch. Even if her parents seemed to disagree.

Accepted

Just a minor modification. The school has not been the most honest to muggle parents and family members about witchcraft existing. In fact, they have done the opposite. Someone did most certainly speak with your parents and told them the truth (that you were a witch) in front of your but then shortly thereafter they were likely oblivated (might see a theme here in the notes in other bios as well). Due to previous transgressions between witches and muggles in America resulting in Rapports Law as well as incidents such as the Salem Trials, muggles are intensely distrusted by the American magical community in general. 

Your parents would vaguely recall having a daughter with a "powerful imagination" that was admitted to a school for the "artistically gifted." What artistic gifts, well perhaps none. Perhaps that is why your parents started to disassociate themselves with you, although believing that it is because you are a witch would be the unkind purpose of those that told your parents the truth in your presence and them oblivated them a short-time later. To make being a witch a secret to keep from muggles - that they would love you less, leave you, perhaps even hurt you.

You presently reside with your older brother Jay and his girlfriend. Sadly, both muggle. You might notice that your time with them in very brief, there is always so much to do - extra errands requested of you from the Professors, offers for extra credit, summer camps, vacations and holidays to varied magical places to further enrich your culture. When you do see Jay because you have rejected likely several or numerous offers, he is always as he normally has been but you might have noticed gaps in his memory. Moments where your witch-nature would have been discussed, shared or exposed have been "forgotten" but he does seem to know that you go to a school and call it by its proper name. Just the terms he might associate with it may be "a bit off."
