History/Background Story: Isabella Dín was born January 9th, 2013. As a kid, Isabella's parents sent her to a muggle school where she was able to make muggle friends. Isabella had one friend (Kiara Evans) who got her into martial arts and Roller Derby. Even though Isabella now goes to Hogwarts, she maintains a friendship with Kiara and still does those sports during the summer. Isabella's maternal grandparents were Elena and William Goldfinch. Isabella also had two close family friends from before Hogwarts named Penelope Kneen and Lenora Grace. Isabella always remembers fondly the fun that the three of them had. They had felt like family, and Lenora & Penelope's parents (respectively) had always felt like aunts/uncles. As a younger kid, Isabella would spend a lot of time with her older sister, Auriela, and her younger brother, Alex, while her parents were at work (doctor and Unspeakable respectively) during the day. Of course, they had a babysitter too. Auriela started going to Hogwarts at age eleven which then left more time for just Isabella and Alex to hang out and build a closer bond. Something else that Isabella looked forward to each year was a summer trip where they would visit her father's family (specifically her grandparents) in America (as her dad was from America). Isabella had cousins on her dad's side as well, Alyssa and Cleo. They were one year older than her and they were twins. They also came to their grandparents' house during summer, so Isabella also got to hang out with them there. When Isabella got her letter to Hogwarts, she was super excited, but Alex was sad that Isabella would leave him. She reassured him she would see him during school breaks. He grew happier after that. In Diagon Alley she met new people (even some kids going to Hogwarts as well), and got her things for her new school. Isabella went to a summer camp at one point on Hogwarts grounds & it was awesome. When Isabella started Hogwarts, she was super excited. She was sorted into Hufflepuff & met more new people inside the school. Isabella was held back for two of her years at Hogwarts because of something that had happened to her little brother. Her brother had been cursed. One night, on the full moon, he and Isabella were walking with their older sister, and they were ambushed. Some curses were exchanged (between the attackers and their older sister), and nothing hit them, thanks to Auriela, except for the one that was used on Alex. The terrible curse. They never saw the attacker's face to this day, but their father seemed to know something he wasn't telling them. St. Mungo's, nor any curse breakers they could find were able to help. Isabella was removed from school while the family was struggling. Eventually, they found some spells & potions that could keep away the side affects, and her parents decided they could no longer keep her out of school, so she went back to Hogwarts.

Personality: Isabella has always been a kind person. She loves to make new friends & meet new people. Isabella always worked hard to understand & learn the subjects in her school, even when they were hard for her (like science. Especially science). Some of her main values are kindness, hard work, equality, and trust.

First Instance of magic: When Isabella was five years old, she had her first instance of magic. She, her older sister, and her parents were in a pool, swimming. Her parents had had to leave her side to go help her sister with something. Isabella had gotten tired and started to sink through the water. An air bubble suddenly popped into existence & she floated up to the surface and into her mother's arms.
