HISTORY AND BACKGROUND.
She was born on May 4th, 2013, a very (but unusually) very sunny day in Oban, surrounded by sea air. Growing up on Scotland’s west coast shaped her sense of sometimes calm and sometimes wild. It was the rain-soaked mornings for her, sometimes the travels they did out of nowhere. The sea was never distant to her, it was part of everyday life, always visible.
Her childhood was bright and steady in its own way. She spent long days by the shore, collecting shells, watching the waves or the stars. When she didn’t go to by the sea, she went out to play with her friends. If she had to stay at home, she preferred listen to her father’s old rock records, muggle ones or magical ones didn’t matter. Of course all this was in summer. When the winter came over, if needed, she was going to the bakery of her mother to help around. She was always loved by the two other co-workers and customers. Her happy personality was always shining.
She did not attended a local primary school, her mom took care of her early education. It was working like a normal school; classes during day in winter, vacations during summer. Her parents chose this way, so she would know wizarding culture and history. And also so she could always continue to learn in any place. Maria (Inés’s mom) of course didn’t leave with just magical lessons, but also thought basic mathematics and science as well. Her “classes” were mostly reading & writing, exploring the nature, no formal magic practice. Reading was never a weight on her shoulders, unlikely for her age groups. Her nose was mostly in some kind of book in any time, any place. She also got thought different languages. Since dad side is Russian, she started to learn Russian at very young age, but she stills struggles time to time cause of lack of practice. And her mom thought her French. She was always yearned to learn more languages, not just to communicate but to learn people as well. Therefore she wanted to choose a different language to learn by her own; Turkish.
Home was always full of warmth, laughter and encouragement. She was never rushed to grow up, and she always felt safe being exactly herself. The love was always there for each of them. She had gone on holiday to the seasides of other countries many times with her family, spending the summer months especially swimming in the water. These holidays were not the best hotels ones, nor the fancy clubs, but just camping by the sea, or stay at a boutique motel, maybe even sleep in a mini van! That’s why her favorite season is summer. She had different friends from all around the world and ended up with picking portions of in each languages, which was the first reason of lightening the fire to learn more.

FIRST INSTANCE OF MAGIC. She was eight years old, in a grassy field near her home where she and other neighbor kids played quidditch. Flying wasn’t allowed, of course, so they used old wooden brooms on the ground and made up rules as they want. The best afternoons a kid can imagine. One day, during the game, an older child mocked her for taking it “too seriously” and tried to snatch the ball from her hands. It was embarrassing, but for Inés it was straight up scoundrelness. She felt her throat tighten and her eyes started to sting with tear. How dares he? Without her realizing it, the ground beneath her feet softened and sprang upward. She was lifted gently into the air, no more than a hand's breadth above but you could realize the air between her feet and the ground. The children fell silent, staring at her like she changed definition. It didn’t take much for her to float back down as lightly as a feather. But all this time, she felt strangely calm and warm. The childish rage of stealing the ball wasn’t there anymore, it was replaced by a quiet sense of comfort. She didn’t understand what had happened, but it didn’t feel too odd. When the parents called the kids over for the dinner time, she excitedly told her parents what had happened. Though they stayed calm and reassuring, she could tell they were happy. Their little girl had seen the magic by herself for the first time. Even if they didn’t fully explained what had occurred, they hugged her tightly that evening, reminding her she was safe and sound.

FUN FACTS
She LOVES trying new foods. There is no food that she will back down from trying it for the first time. UNLESS it has okra. That is the only food she will not put in her mouth in any condition.

She can fall asleep almost anywhere, anytime, any conditions. If there is an ocean wave, just a record too, she will be out in two seconds.

She has a small jars of seashells from every beach she has ever visited. She likes to bring another small jar to everywhere, just in case they would end up at a beach.

She can recognize different accents quickly like pin point. This also helps her to pick up languages fast.

She once tried to teach a group of seagull to “play team games” on the beach. But this experiment ended with seagulls chasing her to the house.
