Appearance:
Addison de Montmorency stands, thin and elegantly, at one hundred and fifty-two centimetres. Her hair, loosely curled, flowing down to her waist, is the shade of a dark dried apricot. It is often messily—not severely, but to some degree—pulled back into a plait that starts at the crest of her neck. Stray curls help to form her delicate face, with a small, sloped nose, somewhat defined cheekbones, and wide lips. Her eyes—of average size—are a captivating concoction of navy blue and yellow-green. As for her attire, she presents herself tidily during school hours, loosening up in her own time. Her outfits are regularly accompanied by various accessories, one staple being a pair of dark chestnut, narrow rectangle eyeglasses.
Personality:
Kindness, creativity, and curiosity are Addison's most predominant qualities. Holding great academic expectations upon herself, she is fortunately rather intelligent and studious. Following a similar path to that of her parents, she fostered a love for reading and writing as a young witch that has continued to present. She has also grown an immense appreciation for the arts, playing the piano at a beginner level and dabbling in traditional art. She tends to keep to herself and is often caught overly observing and analysing what she sees and hears; the world in its entirety is something that she endeavors to understand as much as reasonably possible, down to its deepest intricacies.

History:
On Friday the fourteenth of December, in the year two thousand and twelve, Addison Eleanor de Montmorency was born to Aldrich de Montmorency and Edith Owers in Colchester, England. Since her youth, she's lived in the same sizeable countryside home with her parents, grandparents (of her mother's side), and great-great-grandmother (of her father's side). Albert and Anne Owers, Addison's grandparents, were immensely prevalent in her childhood, from witnessing her first steps to seeing her off on her first day of school at England's Preparatory School for Young Wizards and Witches. Her great-great-grandmother, Eleanor de Montmorency—the person from whom Addison's middle name derived—was more of a homebody. This trait seemingly developed with old age, as in her youth she was described as incredibly adventurous. She was the person in their close family that Addison aspired to be like the most, as she had a tendency to stray away from the pressuring expectations of their other family. The sudden passing of her great-great-grandmother in the year two thousand and twenty—at one hundred and four years old—left Addison completely dejected. The person she had felt closest to, the one she could talk comfortably to the most, disappeared—and so did her will to speak. This tragic event marked the day that Addison began keeping diaries; she wrote to atone for conversations she was unwilling to have and information she neglected to share. Filled with overwhelming emotion, it was also the year she experienced her first instance of accidental, wandless magic.
Bustling with cerebral pure-bloods, Addison's home was one that strongly encouraged academic success. Her parents and grandparents were adamant that she develop in a logical and methodical environment, but her great-great-grandmother hoped for an alternative approach. Her father, a historian, took an interest in researching both his and his wife's (Addison's mother's) family history. It was discovered that some of Addison's ancestors, from both her mother's and father's sides of the family, were seers. The closest relative being her great-great-grandmother, who had lived with them, though there were many more that were discovered, and even more that were expected to have lived with these abilities deeper into their family genealogy. Such members of her distant family that possessed this ability—particularly on her father's side—were not outcast, but they usually embodied different values than those of the rest of the family. This resulted in many of Addison's older relatives living or having lived separate, detached lives.
Addison's great-great-grandmother raved about the power of her Inner Eye, describing it as an instrument that allowed her to predict the future. She, Eleanor, held a strong hope in her heart that Addison would possess the abilities of a seer. It was a likely scenario, as Addison was the fourth generation of Montmorencys since Eleanor, and, typically, the abilities of a seer would skip three generations, appearing in the fourth. Eleanor often spoke to Addison about her ability to foretell the coming of rainfall far prior to that of an augurey bird's call. Sometimes, when Addison was outside, her great-great-grandmother would visit her during clear skies, warning her of a storm that she claimed would come—and sure enough, they arrived in coherence with her predictions. Eleanor also informed Addison of a more confronting aspect of a seer's abilities: constant contemplation of actions and their consequences. Eleanor explained that, as a seer could peer into the future, they witnessed each potential outcome and were faced with deciding when and where to intervene.
Addison and her great-great-grandmother, though unfortunately short-lived, had a closer connection compared to relationships they built with other family members and people outside of their family. Especially after Eleanor's passing, Addison was quite reserved as a child. She often noticed strong and sudden waves of emotion that, upon reflection, related to situations she then experienced in the future. It was not until the death of her great-great-grandmother that Addison began to document these occasions. She filled pages in her commonplace books that demonstrated wise and intuitive thoughts she had, similar to those described by her great-great-grandmother. However, having not yet experienced a vivid vision, she wondered whether the only quality she'd inherited from her great-great-grandmother was optimism. As these intuitive occurrences became more frequent, she noted that thick grey hairs would emerge clearly among her auburn hair; though they would eventually be hidden by the far more numerous collection of bright copper hair strands. One dewy morning before preparatory school, Addison's mother combed through her hair and noticed a patch where these grey hairs grew. This was during a time when Addison was worrisome about uncomfortable experiences she felt would occur at school in the coming days. She could not feel physical pain, but she could sense it approaching and was ultimately unsurprised when a friend of hers badly scraped her knee the following day at school. This experience upset her, as she was unable to intervene as her great-great-grandmother had described; however, she was now able to understand that she held the true potential of to be a seer.
Addison's parents shared a heavy passion for travel; this often meant she and her parents were absent from their comfortable English home. Frequently, her family travelled to York to visit close relatives: Addison's aunt, uncle, and cousins. Growing up in an environment regularly surrounded by relatives of a similar age, it was difficult for Addison to consider herself an only child. Lonely nights, peering out her bedroom's window at the glittering stars above, reminded her of such—at home she was surrounded by adults of whom she would never truly be able to relate to. Edward and George Owers, the twins of Addison's aunt and uncle (her cousins), were like brothers to her. She eagerly awaited visiting them, not only for their city's beauty, which she found rather fascinating, but also for the mischief that ensued while she was there. Visiting her cousins was a freeing experience—one that she wished to hold on to forever—and it was ever so disappointing on the journey home, twiddling her fingers in boredom, resorting to watching raindrops—in the hopes that there were any—race down the car window. On a lesser occasion, every other summer, Addison—accompanied by her parents, of course—would visit the Île-de-France to see her father's side of the family. Though oftentimes Addison held civilness in high regard, her father's family was perpetually, excessively sophisticated to an extent she disliked. They were rather closed off as well, and she ultimately learnt in her youth that she is the only one that can truly, wholly understand herself.
First Instance of Magic:
A cool breeze swept through Addison's home on the night of her eighth birthday—as was expected on a typical winter evening. Having just feasted with her friends on her chocolate birthday cake, her parents hastily prepared the living room for all the children to sleep in. The children then tucked themselves into their individual mattresses as Addison's father extinguished the house's fireplace. Deeper into the night, while the children slept, the living room that was once warm and comfortable had become as chilling as a midnight stroll in pouring snow. After tossing and turning, Addison awoke, dismayed by the newfound frigidness of the room. In response, she frustratingly muttered, 'Ah... It is much too cold!' and coals in the nearby fireplace ignited suddenly with a thunderous crackling noise. Awaking the other children, they were collectively aghast. A night that would have previously been considered regular became one filled with shock and marvel.
