☾₊ ⊹ Appearance

Zelda is an expert at making sure she isn’t noticed when she doesn’t want to be. Part of this trick stems from her height -a touch shorter than average - and build -a slim sort of lankiness that suggests an impending growth spurt which has yet to manifest. Her hair plays a part in the illusion, too; the long, blonde waves make for a perfect curtain when she’s reading, writing, or trying to sneak away from one of her parents’ parties without being recognized. It’s a tricky feat to pull off since she inherited both her father’s bright blue eyes and her mother’s fine-boned face, but if anyone’s up for the challenge, it’s Zelda.

☾₊ ⊹ Personality

Zelda is a bright, pragmatic child who came out of the womb with more sense than either of her parents. Her intellect is regarded as a minor miracle in the Fox family and, as such, has been nurtured from an incredibly early age. Every Sunday she and her Grandfather Fox pore over the Sunday Times together, trading articles and bickering about crossword clues. While Zelda doesn’t consider herself to be too competitive, there’s no doubt that she will do everything that she can to secure a spot at the top of her year. So much of her identity is wrapped up in being ‘the smart one’ that anything less than a perfect grade is bound to provoke a meltdown.

As the only introvert in a house full of extreme extroverts, Zelda has developed a tendency to withdraw early from social situations. She would much rather curl up with a book in a quiet corner than perform in one of Ambrose’s plays or Heidi’s dance routines. Though she knows she will miss her family terribly, a part of her is relieved at the prospect of trading the raucous house for the calm tranquility Hogwarts castle is sure to bring.

Even though she values her time alone, Zelda has no trouble making friends. Quite a a lot of this has to do with how open minded she is: until a person proves that they are absolutely awful and not worth knowing, she’s more than willing to give them a chance. Once that chance is ruined, though, there’s no going back. Despite preferring a cold shoulder technique, Zelda isn’t afraid to speak her mind, either. If it comes down to it, she will happily tell someone all the reasons that they are a terrible person straight to their face.

☾₊ ⊹ Biography

Gerard Fox and Serafina Emory probably shouldn’t have gotten married. Not that anyone had tried to stop them. They were a beautiful couple, after all, and on equal footing in everything that mattered. Both came from magical families with international roots -Sarafina’s mother was Italian, Gerard’s great-grandfather a German who slid from Wilhelm Voss to William Fox upon settling in London -and a limited risk of producing squibs. They were well-off separately and very well-off together. They even loved each other. Had done since they met at Hogwarts all those years ago.

There was just one problem: Gerard and Serafina were idiots. Truly stupid. Their combined intellect was as shallow as a half-drunk puddle. Between them they shared about a quarter of the common sense bestowed upon an average human being. Highly suggestible and always eager to be on the ground floor of the next big invention, the couple waft from one party to the next, cutting checks for cauldrons that change color in sunlight and rings that turn your fingers blue when it’s about to rain. If it hadn’t been for their iron-clad trust funds limiting withdrawals, the pair would’ve lost everything a thousand times over.

And if they shouldn’t have gotten married, well, then they absolutely should not have had children. And yet, six years into their marriage, along came Zelda. Griselda, technically, though her parents never called her by her full name. Relatives would speculate that it was because they didn’t know how to spell it. Or, perhaps, that they had forgotten it altogether. Ambrose came next a little over two years later, then Hadriel-called-Heidi three years after that.

The family took up residence in a townhouse tucked away in one of London’s more magical neighborhoods. Zelda and her siblings had a happy childhood filled with love, their parent’s parties, and a veritable hoard of well-meaning relatives. When Zelda got her Hogwarts letter, everyone heaved a massive sigh of relief. Until they realized they would need to find someone else to help balance the checkbooks.

☾₊ ⊹ First Instance Of Magic

In the interest of being honest, Zelda has no idea what her actual first instance of magic was. You see, it all depends on who tells the story. Her parents insist that it came early -far earlier than it had for either of them -with her magically cleaning her nappies when she was no more than a week old. This, according to Zelda’s grandparents, is utter rubbish: her nanny was the one changing her, obviously, and only two people as thick as Gerard and Serafina would attribute to magic what was clearly done by a household employee.

Her real first use of magic -according to her grandparents, that is -was when a three-year-old Zelda levitated her favorite stuffed dragon above her baby brother’s bassinet. Whether it was to share or show off no one could say for certain, but it was undoubtedly her doing and that was all that mattered in the end.
