Mental Description:

Reducio

Because of my demeanor and easy looks it makes people feel comfortable sharing their stories, and troubles, whether they seek advice or just need someone to talk to. Which has giving me a lot of trouble in the early ears of my live. But now it helps me often by taking the time to listen to others’ concerns and feelings.
It makes me extremely loyal to the friends and loved ones that I do make.

Biography:

Reducio

I was born right outside the big city. Early life, living around a lot of other people, saw me getting a lot of attention and strange feelings for and from others. This constant emotional overload made it difficult for me to focus on schoolwork or self-confidence.

This let my parents, having struggled themselves, understand how and why other children keep coming up to me trying to tell me their troubles and feelings. As a child, I have sought tried to find comfort and reassurance from them, but their inability to fully grasp this sensitivity led to frustration on both sides. After that I felt isolated, sensing their worries and emotions without a way to express my own.

My parents were both from pure-blooded families, but they liked to live outside of that, around non-magical people. They never explained why, but I always got the feeling that it started as a rebellion early on. They escaped the complexities, expectations, and often suffocating traditions of pure-blood wizarding society when they first got married. Having no say over their own lives. They stayed, I believe, because they liked the simplicity of living with muggles, one free from the pressures of legacy, status, and tradition.

My parents felt they were unable to provide me with the reassurance and comfort that I needed. They felt failure and the belief that sending me away was the only option for peace and growth.
Because of my unusual sensitivity and my parents feeling not equiped and maybe didn't want to deal with the complexities of magic any more, we started to drift apart. We all felt the drift, and I think then was a mutual decision was made to send me away. I was quickly shipped off to my grandmother in a small village up north, all nestled between forests and big hills.

My grandmother Thea here is known for her special potions and witchcraft. She is known as a herbalist. Grandmother provided me with a nurturing environment, where I could explore these gifts and find comfort with Nature. The forest have offered me a peaceful contrast to city life and allowed me to develop my talents in a more natural and harmonious way.
She taught me all she knows about plants and potions. With a natural affinity for plants, I quickly developed a love for herbology and potions. Dreaming of being the best potion mistress in the world, helping others.

On a day, while foraging in the woods, I stumbled upon a small, injured kitten. Its striking green eyes reminded me of myself. I took him back home and nursed the kitten back to health, naming him Jasper.

First Instance of Magic:

Reducio

Four years ago, not far away from home, but far enough into the forrest I found a patch of vibrant bluebell flowers. Excited I tryed to reach out to touch the flowers, wanting to feel the magic that was radiating from them. When suddenly, a soft glow came from my hands. The flowers began to shimmer and their colors brightening as if responding to my touch. Its was right in this moment that I summoned a gentle breeze that rustled the leaves around myself and Jasper.
Finaly the glow faded, my grandmother came out of the forest and informed me that I did my first magic.
