History/Background Story:

Reducio

Stace is born in a close-knit and loving family, with her mother, Elsie Cavendish, being a pure-blood witch and her dad, Lewis Halston, being a Muggle. Her mother loves magic but uses Muggle things like computers at home and finds them very convenient, thanks to her husband’s occupation. She has an older brother named Noah Halston, who’s currently in Y3, Gryffindor, and looks after Stace all the time. They have a cozy home in the Muggle suburbs of Inverness, with a secret greenhouse full of magical plants. Stace loves spending days there. She grows up reading both Muggle and magical books, watching Muggle TV shows, and Quidditch matches. She goes to a Muggle primary school before Hogwarts and makes many good friends.

Her Muggle paternal grandparents moved from the USA to Scotland in the 1970s, driven by the pursuit of better opportunities. They gave birth to Lewis Halston in 1980. He graduated from one of the top universities in the UK and worked as a high-paid software engineer. Elsie Cavendish, her mother, was born in Scotland the same year as her husband and raised with her pure blood family. She demonstrates a high interest in nature from a young age, plants and animals, and works for the Department of Magical Creatures. Stace's parents met in a local bookstore when they were both fresh out of school in Inverness and struck up a conversation. They met several times more there by “coincidence” and soon fell in love. Lewis is a bit startled when Elsie tells him about her identity and the magical world, but soon accepts it. They married in 2001. Elsie’s father is completely against her daughter marrying a Muggle, but her mother is rather progressive. The daughter had a huge clash with her father when she brought young Stace to visit them, and Elsie never brought Stace to her grandparents ever since.

Physical Description:

Reducio

Stace is an adorable girl with an oval face. She has pale skin but red cheeks, which come from the cool weather in Inverness. Her orange hair runs down her head like streams of fire. The hazel eyes she has stand out brightly against the misty days. Stace is quite skinny and a little taller than her peers.

Mental Description:

Reducio

She is very outgoing and warm. People are drawn to her energy, and she holds them just as warmly in her heart. Lightheartedness is always what she tells people, and most of the time, what she does, doesn't flinch or appear bashful.

Though Stace is extroverted, she has an inner world that she protects. She constantly has quiet questions and sharp observations. She rarely names aloud her fears, having the pressure of being “the warm one.” She might laugh things off, but she remembers everything and can be a bit sentimental when she is by herself. Wanting to be liked is one of Stace's silent traits. Although most of the time she looks at ease, she cares a lot about how people think about her. Stace can be quirky sometimes, especially when she is drowned in her little world.

She always tries to listen first and judge later. She trusts her heart more than logic, being intuitive. She gets easily distracted, driven by her enormous curiosity and forgets what she was doing or should be doing.

First Instance of Magic:

Reducio

Once, slightly before Stace's 10th birthday, she was spending her ordinary afternoon at her family's secret greenhouse observing magical plants. She spotted a withered flower, and stroked it with sorrow when the flower shivered and its petals began to unfurl with rich color returning it. Stace had healed a dying flower! Her mother was super excited after she told her this, informing her daughter is becoming a witch.
