Full Name: Adeline Rose Donnet

Age: 11
School Year: 1st
Species: Human, witch
Wand: Walnut Wood, Dragon Heartstring, 24,1 cm
Backstory:
Adeline Rose Donnet, born 5th of June 2014 in Guildford, England, is a Half-Blood witch.
Her witch mother is an official at the Ministry Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, as part of the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad, while her muggle father is an eccentric novelist full of stories. Adeline also has a younger brother.
Adeline has grown up surrounded in equal measures by both magical and muggle children of her age, courtesy to her parents friends and their families, as well as the neighbourhood kids in Guildford. Her mother always cautioned both Adeline and her brother of talking too in-detail about their homelife full of magic and spells with their muggle friends, but occasional slip-ups do still happen.
Once, while leading an "expedition" to find the "wrinkle-tailed hornbeam" (looking for lizards in the nearby overgrown creek), Adeline slipped and fell into the frigid water. With a shout and a splash, Adeline suddenly found herself sitting in one of the highest branches of a nearby elm, to the big astonishment of her accompanying friends and a befuddled neighbour walking their dog. She explained how she had "mastered the skills of a squirrel", which led to the gang spending the next 3 hours attempting to climb the elm the fastest.
Adelines very first sign of magic occured at just 5 years old. Furious with her brother for tearing a page from her favorite storybook her father wrote, she screamed, and the pillows in every bedroom in the house exploded in large puffs of feathers, raining down in heaps. “That’s new,” her father muttered. Her mother’s eyes were narrowed and proud.
The wand of walnut wood and dragon heartstring (24,1 cm, rather bendy) found her in Ollivander's, with a soft "woosh" as she made various piles of wand cases (and almost Mr. Ollivander himself) suddenly spring up into the air, floating some 12 inches off the wooden floor before gently thumping back onto solid ground.
Her mother and her family have all attended Hogwarts before, so Adeline grew up on stories of her mothers and maternal grandparents' wondrous adventures within the halls of the great castle; she couldn't wait to see the turrets, the great grass fields, the living suits of armour, the ghosts and the moving staircases. She practised jumping steps on their own stairs at home, with only a handful of bruises.
She dreams of her years at Hogwarts as a time to discover every spell, jinx and potion vial, as well as the secret passages and hidden rooms the castle holds. She wants to learn every spell she can get her hands on, not just because she’s expected to, but because she genuinely loves the idea of understanding how magic works. She hopes her school years will be full of daring escapades, new friends, and stories worth retelling, maybe even ones her father might write down one day.
She most looks forward to Charms and Care for Magical Creatures.
