Background
3rd November 2007, on a cloudy day, a little ball of energy came to the world. Me. Soon enough I was brought back to my future playground : the huge familial house in York. My name ? Riley Mackenzie Swan. But something even more important than my name is that I was born in a wizard family. Now that you are in the confidence of the family secret, you will be in a better position to understand the atmosphere that reigns in our house.
All day long there are noises of runs, laughs, screams and magic. It must be said that we are three children with… Opposite personalities.
My first sign of magic appeared during a chase with my sister Alex. I had put an ice cube with paint on her bed. When she jumped on it, as usual, she felt the viscous material following by the cold. She yelled my name and tried to find the author of this mischief. Unfortunately for my 6 years old me, I was not well hidden and she found me quickly. As a revenge, she tried to scare me by coming from my back. I thought that someone was attacking me, screamed and my magic woke up. Without understanding anything, she was on the floor, 5 meters away. Lauren, Alex's twin, who was always curious to see what was going on between us came into the room, puzzled by what happened. For a second, nobody was moving and everything was quiet. My mother came upstairs, her attention’s captured by the absence of noise. She saw a strange scene with her three daughters, quiet in the same room. Lauren started to stammer that I was a wizard. A WITCH, ME ?! Well, it was not a big surprise as everyone has magic in the family but it was still a relief for my parents to know that. Of course, they would still love me if I weren’t but it would have been a complicated life for me.
I had to learn soon enough that I couldn’t do magic whenever I wanted because I was too young. Before that, I thought that the day my first magic will come, I will be able to use it the same way my parents were. As you can imagine, it’s way more complicated than that. But anyway, that’s why I am going to Hogwarts in a few days.
My parents are normal wizards. I mean, my mother works at St Mangoo’s hospital as Mediwizard. My father works for a well-known broomsticks company : Nimbus Racing Broom Company. One time he fell off the broomstick he was testing and arrived at St Mangoo. You can guess how the story continues, they fell in love, get married and gave birth to me and my sisters.
Appearance
I have ginger short hair cutting just above my shoulders with a thin fringe. When I was younger, my father was always making me two little buns over my head. As I turned eleven, I decided that I was not a little girl anymore and that I needed to have a fresh haircut. My round eyes are grey-blue depending on the light. I really like them. My skin is pale and I have freckles all over my body, especially my face and my arms.
Personality
I would say that I am quite mischievous. I like to hoax people… Well, actually especially Alex who hates that. In fact it is my first occupation to disturb her as she always becomes super mad at me. And this is one of the reason why they are often chased and screams in the house. I am the reason why. I can also be calm when I am with Lauren I am another person. I can sit down for an entire day listening to her stories, playing a character in a world she invented. She enables me to focus my energy on one thing. As soon as I am done I have to find another occupation, I can’t stop. Never. Alex always says that I am a chatterbox. I am not sure whether it is a compliment or not... But what’s the purpose to only speak to myself ? I don’t get it. Otherwise, I would say that I am joyful most of the time. I wouldn’t say I am naïve. I am always able to know if a person is honest with me or not, it is one of my superpower and I am very proud of it. I feel like I am a spy when I succeed in understanding how people are. My mum says that I am outspoken and direct which is, according to her, a good thing but I also need to be careful not to hurt people’s feeling. I don’t want to hurt anyone on purpose, I think before I say something but I don’t get what’s wrong with telling the truth all the time.

Relationships
Family
Reducio
Alex Swan (14 yo, Gryffindor)
SISTER ♠ Alex, which full name is Alexandra (but I would recommend you not to call her like that if you don’t want to die), is the oldest. In fact she is only 20 minutes older than Lauren. She is impulsive and likes to do dangerous things alone. However, she likes her sisters even if she will never admit it. Riley’s favorite occupation is to disturb and to hoax her and Alex always gives it back to Riley by yelling at her. She prefers to be lonely and often goes to dangerous places, like roofs. She doesn’t really like to study and only do the minimum required to pass. She has a bob ash-blond hair, some freckles on the nose and dark eyes.
Lauren Swan (14 yo, Ravenclaw)
SISTER ♠ Lauren, her twin, is more quiet. She likes to draw outside, in the sun and over everything, she loves to read under the sun (which is something a bit complicated in our region). She is always nice to Riley when she is looking for someone to play. Lauren is the only one who is able to calm her down. Her creativity has no limits. Sometimes, she has her head in the clouds but when there is an emergency she is there to react correctly. Alex shows her love by making fun of Lauren strange behaviours, like when she reads upside down. Lauren always complains about how Alex puts always herself in complicated and dangerous situations. One time, she fell from a roof and broke her arm. Fortunately, Lauren was here to call our parents. Anyway, when they fight it is as if a unicorn and a dragon were arguing. The dragon is impulsive and gets angry quickly whereas the unicorn stays calm and majestic. She looks like Alex but with light-blue eyes instead of dark.
Grace Ferguson (42 yo, Mediwizard at St Mangoo’s)
MOTHER ♠ Grace was born in Glasgow in a loving wizard family. At Hogwarts, she was in Ravenclaw willing to learn more and more about potions and botany. At 16 years old, her father died from a rare disease and this is why she chose to become a doctor. She is always here for her daughters. However, when she comes upstairs they should better stop fighting orelse… You don't want to know what will happen. She has long red hair with brown eyes and a lot of freckles over her face.
James Swan (42 yo, works for Nimbus Racing Broom Company)
FATHER ♠ James was born in London and also went to Hogwarts in Hufflepuff. He was not a really good student as he didn't like theory. However, he succed in passing his exams. He was good at playing quidditch and was a good captain for his team. After Hogwarts, he started to work for the Nimbus broomsticks company.
