History/Background Story: Addison is born to a pureblood witch who works as a healer in St. Mungo's and a muggle father who works in a muggle hospital as a surgeon for kids. This means she hardly ever sees her parents and it was mostly her aunt Lena (her father's sister) who takes care of her. She's also an only child, so her aunt has become not just a second mother to her, but also her best friend.
She lives close to Leeds' Castle, which is mainly a muggle area. Her father only learned his daughter and wife were witches when Addison started to use magic as a kid when she was very scared or angry. Like one time she was 2 years old and walking in a park with her father, when all of sudden two mad dogs ran towards her and were to bite her. But 'as by magic' she pushed the dogs off and scared them away, without being hurt herself.
Because she lives in a Muggle area, she was sent to a muggle school as well. They didn't want to homeschool her, because they believe that even though you're magical, you need to be kind and caring for other human beings. Addison is very good at making friends, as she's very social. Most of her friends are from the gym club she's in. Because she likes to help other humans and care for them, she started doing some volunteer work in a nursing home. There she plays games with the elderly, sings with them, go on a walk with them or just read them some poetry or a story.

Once the Hogwarts letter came, she got to choose from her parents. Either go to Hogwarts and learn about magic, or stay in her muggle school with her muggle friends. To Addison, this was a very difficult choice. She loved her friends, but it was eventually her fear of hurting them by accident with her magic, that made her choose for another school and a new beginning. She wanted to control her magic, so that in the end, she could be around muggles safely and maybe use her magic for good, like to help them heal or get them food.
When she got to Hogwarts, she has always been kind and friendly to all Hogwarts students, including to Slytherin students. She believes that even though Slytherin had a lot of Dark Wizards through history, that they all have some good as well and that there always has to be someone to believe that they too could be good and great magical people.
Addison is still practicing her gymnastics and goes for a morning walk before breakfast every day. Her mother always has told her that if the body and mind both are healthy, she'd had a good life.
In class she does her very best to pay attention during every lesson, takes as many notes as she can and once she gets homework, she works on it straight away, so she has more time to relax, without having to worry to finish something on time. Addison has also entered the Gobstones Club.
