Reducio
Lya has long, dark hair. Not quite black, but almost. It's naturally wavy, and either free in her back, or tied into braids. Her eyes are a deep, forest green. She is a bit small for her age, but fits in just right with the other first-years. Her skin is pale, and she has two dimples when she laughs.

She is a sweet little girl, a bit shy. She doesn't speak up in class, and even less when provoked. But once you get to know her, she is a passionate and gentle soul. She loves to read, discover the castle, or walk around the Black lake, trying to take a peek at the marine creatures. Her favorite class is Potions. And her least favorite class is Herbology. She has an interest for magical creatures, but she's careful with it, because her mom kept telling her that a creature hurt her uncle once.


★★

Lya grew up in a renovated townhouse in the center of London. Her parents are aurors, and used to tell her the tales of their many adventures. Sometimes dangerous, yes, but always thrilling. Her eyes shone when her dad described a Hungarian horntail, and when her mother explained how they cornered a dark wizard in Ireland.
She didn't know yet what she wanted to do later, but she was sure of one thing : it would be anything but boring, desk work. She would spend her time in the garden, looking for bugs, playing with mud, and even climbing trees (she got a broken arm out of it, but hey, the view was worth it).
Her older brother, Oliver, was much more pragmatic. He took life as it came, his expectations never too high. He is two years older than Lya, and loves to tease her relentlessly, by ruffling her hair or poking her sides. But he's also fiercely protective of her. No one messes with his sister, even though he'll never admit it.
The family cat, Pumpkin, brings chaos into this otherwise perfectly wise family.
At Hogwarts, being sorted into Gryffindor was no surprise, since her father had been one. She loved the castle, and her eyes were stuck to the starry ceiling most of the time during her first dinner in the Great Hall. She hoped to make friends, and collect as many things as she could from the castle, and the grounds.

★★★

Her first instance with magic was very unexpected. Lya was three and a half, and playing with Oliver in his room. He kept stealing her toys from her, and laughing like a little gremlin, as if it was the funniest thing in the world. At some point, she got very frustrated, and started crying and yelling at him.
That's when a wooden block caught on fire.
Oliver's eyes widened and he ran out the room, looking for their parents. They quickly reassured their daughter, wiping her tears, then told her how proud they were.
That evening, they sent owls to all their friends.
