Mental description: They appear timid and reserved. They are not good with unfamiliar people, and even with their close ones they often struggle to express themselves. There is an eeriness to their presence that makes people want to keep their distance. Ginevra does not mind that. They like all things morbid and grotesque, from unloved insects, to medical oddities, to uncanny places. They find interest in anything that is forbidden or dark in nature, because they find comfort in it – in similar fashion, it is all outcast, like them.

Amortentia: Ink (diligence), frankincense (honesty), cedarwood (resilience), cotton (politeness), blood (eccentricity)

Habits:

Reducio

They write poetry and read it to no one in particular – out in the woods to a passing animal or insect, or in the bedroom to the porcelain dolls with eerie eyes propped up on their shelves.
They like starwatching. Whenever they see a shooting star they always make a wish.
They carry crystals in their pocket – a different one everyday – that correspond to energy they wish to attract.
They were taught by their parents to hide their identity for the safety of the fled family, so when it’s not necessary they don’t introduce themselves with their real name, keep their head down, and mostly don’t engage in unfamiliar social circles.

Biography: They were born in Italy. Their parents were eccentrics: their father, an exceptional dollmaker known in the high society of wizarding Italy, and their mother, no less of an oddity, a fashion designer. Needless to say, they grew up among the arts and the aristocracy. They developed a liking for similar things in turn, but unlike their parents they were more interested in decay than in creation.
When they were nine years old, their father became involved in shady business, or perhaps it had begun earlier, but in that year the Vespucci-Delacroix family were forced to flee Italy, as Mr Vespucci was in debt and unable to pay it back. With what remained of their fortune, they managed to escape to the United Kingdom and settle in Oxford. Their whereabouts are still not shared with many, and the family keeps its business mostly low-key.
For Ginevra, it was never quite clear why they had to leave home, but they were not attached to it anyway. To them it was simply a passing place to perform their rituals, to conjure their spirits, and take from it what was theirs. England was not much different. The move did not affect the child.
Attending Hogwarts was a weighty decision for the family, as they were concerned about privacy, but after Ginevra proved trustworthy with secrets, and following careful consideration, they decided to send her to Hogwarts.

First instance of magic: It happened when they were nine: they became very angry, and a nearby glass vase shattered.

Wand: Cherry wood – this very rare wand wood creates a wand of strange power, most highly prized by the wizarding students of the school of Mahoutokoro in Japan, where those who own cherry wands have special prestige. The Western wand-purchaser should dispel from their minds any notion that the pink blossom of the living tree makes for a frivolous or merely ornamental wand, for cherry wood often makes a wand that possesses truly lethal power, whatever the core, but if teamed with dragon heartstring, the wand ought never to be teamed with a wizard without exceptional self-control and strength of mind.
Dragon Heartstring core – as a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current master.
The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.

Bag: Inside there lies a disemboweled assortment of curiosities of all kinds, from everyday essentials to antique valuables never seen before. Their bag is their lifeline, and they carry it with them everywhere they go.
Most of the space inside is taken up by the bulkier part of their belongings – books. From school books to fiction to pass the time. Along with the books are various notebooks filled with their writing, each with its own purpose.
They always carry some money, just in case they ever need it to bribe a house elf for a favor or pay off someone who saw them doing something they shouldn’t have.
In it lie a few varieties of glass and crystal vials, filled with liquors mysterious to anyone but themselves, which Ginevra carries in case of “an emergency.” They range from common poison antidotes to the very poison meant to be defeated by them.
They also always have a snack on them, in case they get hungry during one of their all-night wanderings or other adventures.
For the sake of entertainment, in the bag lie not only snacks but also things such as tarot cards, a Ouija board, their favorite quill and ink in case they need to take notes on the go, some scattered dice, a camera, and a magnifying glass for whenever they feel like observing the insect world.
Among the mess are scattered the basics: their library card, a lighter, dorm key, parchments for letters, etc.
