"It’s crazy what you’ll do for a friend"

Background: Reducio Willow was born in Castle Combe, England. The young girl grew up with two wizard parents who owned a small farm and an older sister, Hazel. Both of the sisters went to a muggle school considering that they lived among them for the most part. But every day they couldn't wait to come back home, where the magic almost bounced off the walls. They all had a very loving relationship, even despite her sister who had a history of starting arguments and storming out of the house. Her sister's temper came from the realization that she was a squib; she had a lot of trouble accepting it due to the consistent usage of magic around the house. Still, Hazel and Willow are very close and spent a lot of time together back home. Willow had a group of friends growing up but didn't consider her close with any of them. Her sister was probably her closest friend until she went to Hogwarts. They would often go outside to help with the upkeep of their farm or find spots where Willow could sit and her sister could run around and reenact the adventures she had of when she had successfully ran out of the house. By the time Willow showed her first instance of magic, it was already determined that Hazel was a squib. And it was starting to look like Willow could have been one too. But one night, a few days after Willow turned 9, it stormed terribly. Storms frightened Willow, so her parents usually threw any spell they could in the house to drown out the thunder and rain. Hazel was always there when they did so, but that night something clicked. Her older sister later admitted that she felt like she could most likely never protect her little sister the way their parents can. And so she started to scream and cry, threatening to leave the house once more. This had upset Willow even more, causing her to cry as well. And as her older sister zoomed by her parents to open the front door, multiple clicks were heard all throughout the house. Hazel wiggled the door handle, but there was no use. Willow had locked every door in the house out of fear of her sister leaving and being hurt in the storm and thus had shown her first instance of magic. After the storm passed and Hazel promised not to run away, the doors unlocked again. Her parents waited until Hazel calmed down to congratulate Willow, silently praising her.

Personality:│Observant│Non-confrontational│Loyal│ Reducio Willow is generally a quiet girl, and uses her words sparingly. She'll be more outspoken when she feels more comfortable, but she prefers listening rather than talking. This doesn't necessarily make her academically gifted however, since she tends to think with her heart rather than her brain. It is still easy to figure out what she is thinking even when she isn't talking since her expressions give her away. She saw her sister acting out from a young age and the trouble that it caused her, so she is very non-confrontational. To the point where she will either be completely silent or spill all her knowledge, whatever will work so she can avoid conflict. One thing that will stop her from desperately avoiding conflict is her loyalty. Once you've earned it, you will most likely never lose it. Willow isn't a fighter, but she will always defend her friends. She will keep secrets to the grave and assist her friends whenever they need her. She also rarely forgets and has a hard time forgiving. She has a love for anything outdoors but dislikes quidditch. She is not sure what she wants to do after Hogwarts just yet, but she would be happy taking care of either plants or animals for a living. Besides that, she enjoys divination and is hoping to learn more about it during her time at Hogwarts
