Demelza Rookwood | First Year | Slytherin
Reducio
Name: Demelza Rookwood
Reducio
Physical Attributes:
Olive complexion, round nose, almond eyes (hazel), shoulder-length dark hair and white cat-eye glasses. She rarely smiles, is quite arrogant sometimes, but underneath her tough exterior, trauma lies within. Demelza is tall, towering over most children her age. Somewhat lean and muscular, a very athletic girl indeed.

History:
Demelza's parents are Matthew Rookwood and Penelope Rookwood (neé Alba). Matthew was born to a muggle family belonging to the high class, he worked his way up the career ladder in the early 2000's. He belongs to Westminster in Central London, and works as a corporate banker.
Penelope, however, first completed her education at Hogwarts and graduated. However, after being exposed to the muggle life once, she enjoyed it so much, that she ended up becoming a waitress at a clumsy diner in Westminster. Well, since old habits die hard, she secretly uses magic (whilst being alone) to ease up the task. Her father, Theodore Alba was a wizard. She met Matthew in a restaurant during her shift and they fell in love. Both, by blood, are Scottish.
Their first child, Demelza Rookwood, was born on 8th December, 2013, in a fairly hospital in London. A very smart child, she uttered her first word ('money') at the age of one, started reading books at 2, and began playing chess, muggle chess at the time, at 3. Her parents regarded her as a prodigy. Perhaps that is where her slight arrogance comes from.
She had a normal, loving childhood at her home in Westminster with her parents. Her sister was born when she was 7. Both of her parents were always busy with their jobs, so while Demelza was still a very small child, her aunt had come to assist them. Her aunt, Maudie Alba, is a witch herself, having attended Hogwarts with her sister Penelope, and being sorted in the same house, Gryffindor. Hence, she has a close relationship with her niece.
Her daughter, Madelline, was aware of the existence of magic, and tried to manifest it herself, but the truth was clear- she did not have magic within her. So when the news of Demelza being a witch broke out in the family, she closed her ties with her cousin out of jealousy.
However, this story had a violent end. During a family party at Maudie's house in Kent, they were ambushed by the Dark Wizards of a terror group. Most of the family hid to safety, however, Theodore Alba was already ailing, and they caught him. Demelza was 10. The incident had scarred her for life. Those wizards ended up killing her beloved grandfather, and left the house swiftly. She saw every bit of it. It was so traumatic, that any mention of Kent or her grandfather would give her nightmares. The entire family was scarred. Penelope did not eat for days. She almost left her job, if it were not for the support of her husband. What's worse, was that she had a recognised those wizards from her school days. They were her classmates, from Slytherin. This led to paranoia, and her thinking that Slytherin meant evil and bad luck. Penelope made it clear to impart those qualities within her daughter that would not let her get sorted, by the Sorting Hat, to Slytherin.
But Demelza ended up in Slytherin anyway.

FIOM:
As years passed by, Demelza showed further signs of intelligence, learnt both the violin and the harp, and the teachers at her muggle school were severely impressed by her grades. When she was 9, to further develop her skills, her math teacher had given her a tough homework to solve. She sought the help of her father, who accompanied her in the solving. In frustration, she bit the tip of pencil, only for it to change her life! The brown pencil had turned pink, and Mr. Rookwood barely believed his eyes. He called his wife. Penelope stood there, smiling, knowing exactly what it meant.
