Tziporah (zip-po-rah) derives from the Hebrew word tzippor, which means bird. While her parents had chosen names inspired by Greek mythology for their sons, they decided to

Physical Description: Thanks to her mixed Mexican-Italian heritage, Tziporah has the same tanned skin as her mother and two brothers. Her skin was soft and so far in her life, she had been blessed to not struggle much with pimples and other girly things that the young girl found to be a bit scary. Maybe that was why she already was so keen on reading up about beauty spells, lotions, and potions that all could help her when the day would come. Not that she would need much of a blush. Her cheeks were already a very gentle red that added more to her features than it was overwhelming to the eye.

Her hair is a dark and earthy brown, kept long, often parted away from her face with two small clips. When fully loose, her head full of gentle waves bounces almost hypnotizing as she moves. Then there were those eyes. Sharp and brown so dark they're almost black, making her pupils barely visible. The 11-year-old looks far more intimidating than one would expect due to these two rounded pieces of coal for eyes.

Her ways are constantly elegant and soothing much like her clear white smile that she isn't afraid to put on display for everyone to see. It's easy for that to be the first thing you notice, her contradictory bright smile and pitch-black eyes.

More so than never, Tziporah got to hear that she was the perfect mix of her mother and father. Ajax's somewhat sharp and firm facial features together with her mother's full lips and warm skin. It all worked together in a fine balance. Whenever someone would locate a feature that looked more like one parent than the other... there was always something else to weigh up for it. At this point, she was unsure who she resembled the most out of the two.

She has both her ears pierced and often wears small gold hoops given to her by her mother.
Mental Description: You've probably met a quiet dreamer before. The type of person that dreams big by sitting on their own in a corner. Maybe even with their head in a book or a gaze, looking out a window. Well, Tziporah was certainly a dreamer. Though not the quiet kind. She was far more loud and ready to voice exactly what it was that came to mind. She enjoyed sharing her dreams. Maybe it was her way of trying to manifest them and trying to make them a reality. Surely if she said them out loud people would hear and hold her accountable for what she once said. Or that's what she hoped would be the case at the very least.

Young Alonso, much like her father, was a very nosy and curious little lady. No one would escape those sharp black eyes, which would often get her into trouble with her brothers. Sneaking around the apartment while Daddy slept? She'll probably snitch. Leaving the common room at weird hours? She probably knows. And if she doesn't know, then she will know eventually. Gossip goes around, if she isn't the source, she likes to be one of the first to hear about it.

Then there was her passion for anything fancy. Fancy aka nice dress robes, muggle fashion, and makeup. Even though Tziporah was young, she had already begun to sneak on experimental makeup looks from pink eyeshadow to bold eyeliner to the point it was almost comical. Imagine; a petite, 11-year-old walking around with full eyes of makeup.

Biography: It was on the 31st of January at 1:34 AM that young Tziporah Sersei Alonso arrived into a world full of mystery and magic. Her brothers, Andreas and Iason, were asleep on each other in the hallways of the hospital. About a year after Tziporah's birth, her parents who were never married, split. She and her brothers spent most of the school year in Cambridge, England with their father and then summers in either Crema, Italy or Gustavia, Saint Barthélemy, with their mother, Ysabella Ricci.

Her father, Ajax Alonso, was with all certainty the less strict parent out of the two when it came to most things. This she was certain of considering how years later he would be the one to allow her to own a bat as a pet. the bat unfortunately was NOT kept as a pet for long Tzi's aunt Val, Ajax's sister, had not been happy or especially keen on the idea of one in the house. Yet with some smooth words from her father, even her stubborn Aunt Val gave in.

However, she did inherit certain traits or interests from Ysabella as well, when it came to keeping herself clean. While she wasn’t at all as bad as her mother when it came to actual cleaning. Tzi HATED getting dirty, messing up her hair, or anything that made her feel disgusting. As a toddler, she would cry loudly if she got food on her hands or clothes while eating. Or if she played outside, there was nothing worse in her book than muddy clothes and hands.

First Instance of Magic: It was with Ajax that Tzi's nosey side developed. His books on mysteries and theories came to be a comfort even for her. She enjoyed looking into things and even as a young child she would crawl quickly to explore new things around the house. Not offering her family much of a calm moment where sitting back was an option. Her first instance of magic had been during one of these little explorations she would embark on. She was seven years old, playing hide and seek with Iason. While crouched low in Ajax's library, she had found a vase she hadn't seen before. Its pattern had interested the sweet child but before one could count to seven, a gentle push caused the vase to tip over. As wet, fat droplets of tears rolled down her cheeks, Iason ran to see what was wrong only to see the vase mend back together.
