Face Claim: Malia Baker
Dark brown hair, dark chocolate colored piercing eyes - sparkling with joy. Skin: smooth, brown, spotless, cheeks have a natural blush. Maila is of average height but thinks she's too short. She is skinny with very well build muscle that you can't always see unless she flexes them. Maila has perfect posture and carries herself with lots of confidence. She is a very happy, open and bubbly person most of the time and one can often see her laugh and smile - both mesmerizingly beautiful. Perfect white teeth. Dark pink lips, soft and full.
She mostly wears colorful clothes, a lot of overalls and always has her bright red converse on. Every day. She's had them for a few years now. — Malia and her twin are total opposite's in looks and personality but they have one identical mole right below their left eye's. It's pretty much one of the only things that would make you think they are related.

Maila is very open and nice. She often gets people out of their shell because of her personality. She likes to stay alone instead of being with people but does enjoy company from time to time and some trouble making. Maila gets straight O's and is very proud of it. She is very smart, almost to the point that other people feel dumb when she says something. Free time: Maila likes to read, do sports such as Fencing, Boxing, Jiu Jitsu and horse riding. She has been doing all of those since what feels like forever. For her mind and body she does Meditation and Pilates every other day and recently has been trying out Yoga. She is a bundle of joy and funnieness but does stand up for herself and doesn't let anyone say something bad about her or the people she loves. Maila isn't scared of getting into physical fights or hurting someone with her words. She is a pretty chaotic person when it comes to a lot of things, but she always seems very put together and like she has everything under control, even tho that's often not the case.
Traits
Positive - Open and Outgoing, good listener, gives the best hugs, funny, loyal and lovebal. She loves to cook and bake and is quite good at it, kind of her love language to some measures.
Negative - tends to shove all negativity away until it explodes right out of her, thinks she can handle more than she actually can.
Likes: Playing the Violin, being outside, cooking and baking, reading, Fencing, Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, horse riding, meditation
Dislikes: Painting (she's actually awful at it), people that aren't fun, rich entitled Pureblood's, wearing fancy things


History

Image posted by the member
Born on 21 of November 2010 to Maria Helena Laine at age 18. The fathers name is Viktor Mikhailov and he left Maria as soon as he heard that she got Pregnant. Maria moved to Finnland, Porvoo (located close to the southern coast) with Maila and her twin, further away from her Parents who live in Helsinki (they weren't supportive at all). Since then Maria has been working really hard in several muggle shops to provide for her kids. They moved from apartment to apartment before Maria was finally able to afford her own house as well as work in an Inn in the highest position. Maila spend a lot of time in the Inn, meeting a lot of people whenever she wasn't in Kindergarten and later school. Since Maila was able to hold things and stand, Maria taught her how to play the violin, happy that her daughter was doing so good. She wanted her to have interest in music and do well with it, partly to impress her own parents but also because she saw that Maila liked it. Then when Maila was able to walk, her Mother send her to Fencing, Boxing and Jiu Jitsu lessons throughout the years as well as teaching Maila to skate on a skate board. She started to work and help out around the Inn as soon as her mother allowed her to do so but since she is still quite young, she isn't allowed to do too much. Since her mother often works late, Maila started to learn how to cook and bake pretty early as well as taking care of other house jobs. At the age of ten she met a boy from a farm named Theodore. They started to become friends and Maila started horse riding there. At home they have a middle sized garden with lots of fruit trees as well as a vegetable garden. Their house is beautiful and cozy, just outside of town but not further away then a 10 minute walk. They have a cute little shop in the town of Porvoo and a very large lake where Maila loves to hang out any time of the year. In the summer she loves sitting under the trees and enjoying the warm air or going swimming in the lake together with Theodore. In the winter she ice skates on it, alongside many other people from the town. In Autumn she sits there and reads and in the spring she often practices the violin there. Maila absolutely loves her home and would never ever want to live somewhere else.
-----
When Maila and Olli got their letters for Durmstrang, they told the people at muggle school that they are going to transfer to a boarding school, avoiding any questions about where and why. Of course that is hard in such a small town but soon everyone was talking about something else again, which relaxed Maila a lot. She didn't want anyone to find out, or the live her Mother had build them there would be ruined. When the twins got their Letters for Durmstrang, Maila immediately started reading up on magic, the wizarding world and schools as soon as she got the chance. She got the hang of it quite soon and felt right at home in the Wizarding World and school, even tho a lot of the Pureblood's didn't treat her like she had any magic in her. However, Maila proved them all wrong when she showed them how well her magic worked within her, how well she could cast spells and how smart she was, easily mastering anything that had to do with magic. A few months after starting to attend Durmstrang, someone started sending them wizarding money for their education and everything they needed. Maria kept this a secret from the twins but she used the money for everything they needed. She didn't like doing that but she knew that it came from Viktor and she took that as a half hearted apology from him. He had send a letter with the first money, explaining some things to Maria and wishing to not see his kids.
Maila found her way around the Wizarding World and Durmstrang quite fast.

First Instance of Magic

Maila has always loved music. From the day she was able to hold things, her mother taught her to play the Violin and whenever Maila had free time, she would pick up the instrument and play. One time she ran with it down the stairs, around the age of six, wanting to show her mother the new piece she had learned, when she dripped and flew down the stairs along with her violin. Both smashed down on the hard wooden floor, below the stairs and while Maila was fine, her Violin flew a few meters further and smashed against a brick wall, breaking and smashing the beautiful instruments. Maila immediately hurried over to her Violin, sobbing and calling for her Mother. Suddenly, like magic, the Violin put itself back together in the little girls hands, as her mother hurried around the corner. Maila felt something like a glow inside her, like something had finally broken free and since then, little things like this had always happened, whenever Maila felt strong emotions.
Upbringing/Education.
Maila Aurora Laine, along with her twin brother, has visited the muggle kindergarten and pre-school in Finnland before all else. After that she went to public school in Porvoo with Olli. Maila has always been a hard working student and she does love going to school. Maila has always been a straight A (now O) student. Alongside that, their Mother taught them English since she thinks that this is a language that everyone should speak, a world-known language as she says.
When the twins got their Letters for Durmstrang, Maila immediately started reading up on magic, the wizarding world and schools as soon as she got the chance. She is quite smart and and has no problem doing anything in the muggle school or in the magical world.

I. The Martial Artist
Maila has always been good at fighting. She isn't afraid to get physical although she mostly prefers her fights verbally, proving her wit and smartness. When Maila was at an age that she was able to walk, her Mother send her to Fencing lessons but not only that. Maila also learned Boxing and took Jiu Jitsu lessons throughout the years. She picked up the skills fast and won many competitions with her skills in fighting. She can place a punch anywhere she wants and most certainly hits that place she is trying to hit. She is strong for a 12 year old and her kicks have send down her brother a couple of times even tho he would obviously never admit that. Since Maila has done these sports her whole childhood, she remembers every move in her sleep and could easily manipulate someone into thinking that she didn't have a chance against them although that isn't true. It's the opposite. Maila Aurora Laine could send most people to sleep with a simple punch in the right place. However, she does not consider herself a violent person. She can do all this but why would she ever hurt someone for no reason? Of course she could lock any of her opponents in a choke hold but what good would this bring to her? None unless they try to hit her first.
She is not scared to defend those she loves whether it is physical or verbally. Although Maila would never admit it, she wouldn't waste a second to punch someone if they said something about her mother or twin brother. She often told herself that she was not a person that would just start going at someone, which was true to certain measures but she was surely no lady or one of those petite purebloded girls that think they are entitled to better treatment then others and let others do all of their work. To say it simple, she wasn't scared to get her hands dirty, whether it was with mud or someone elses blood. However, by all means, Maila could never be described as aggressive. She is one of the most kindest and gentle souls out there, just simply be beware that she does not back away from a threat.
Since Maila has been raised like a muggle and often feels like a muggle, fighting like this is a natural instict for her. Maila often does not feel like using a wand since she grew up being told that hard work gets done with your hands and mind not with just flicking a finger and everything magically solves itself somehow.

II. Evasive Maneuvers
Having a Twin Brother has always meant looking out for possible threats and surprise attacks. A pillow getting thrown at her while simply enjoying a bowl of cereal, knocking the contents of the bowl all over Maila had not happened just one time. Olli would tackle her with all his might if she did something he did not enjoy or he would burst out of a corner just to point his drum sticks at her and yell "Attack!" None of this was fun and none of this happened little enough for Maila to just ignore it. Over time, the curly haired girl would start to become more and more aware of her surroundings. She would always listen with one ear, see anyone coming from the corner of her eye and even wip her head around to catch her attackers right then and there as if she had eyes in the back of her head. She would evaise wodden spoons that flew into her direction, jump out of the way just in time for Olli to yeet himself into the lake without pulling her with him.
Of course it was not only her annoyingly energetic brother that she had to avoid. She would step out of the way just in time to let a birds excrements miss her by a couple millimeters. Maila would dodge just in time before a branch could hit her in the face while galloping through the woods with Theodore, she would block her opponents attack right before they could hit her and she stepped out of the way just before her partner could out her with their sabre while Fencing. There was no denying in the fact that Maila had gotten insanely good at avoiding, dodging and ducking away. She was out of the way every time someone thought they would hit her. Maila found that it would almost become like Spiderman's sense of danger. She could almost feel a tingling sensation inside her chest whenever danger was near and one could always count on it, that Maila would squirt out of the way of danger, possibly even dragging you with her into safety. Unless you were her attacker of course. Being a big Marvel fan, which had possibly come from her Mother's obsession with the superheroes, Maila sometimes secretly thought that this was her superpower. Evading her enemies not only in her dreams but in real life as well. After all these years, she now knows that this "power" is actually quite normal and just a higher sense of danger. Most of the time she attacks back now, leaving her own attackers wondering how she even evaded their attack and surprised that she attacked back.

III. Charmer

What was one thing that most people wished to be in their lifetime? What was it, that brought you further in places like work, school or just when making friends? It was, to be liked. Or at least that was what Maila thought. The young Finnish girl had always wished to be liked and usually, she did not have any trouble achieving that.
Now, one might wonder where that came from. Perhaps it was just in her nature. Maila was a charming girl, bubbly and positive almost every day and sweet as caramel. But as we all know, Caramel often sticks to the teeth. It becomes too much. And that was something the curly haired girl did not want to be. Not many knew, but Mailas father leaving her, their Mother and her twin brother before she was even born, still hurt her. She thought about it often and she was more than worried that she had something to do with him leaving. Of course she did, he left because he didn’t want them. He didn’t want her. That was what kept her up at night and what brought abandonment issues into her life. How could she not try to be charming and likable, when only existing had been enough for her father to leave them? It was not just the way her Mother raised them to be, that created this kindness and charisma in Maila. It was also the factor of being scared that more people will leave her. She wished to be liked instead of left. She started working on her charm at a young age and soon, she had mastered it perfectly. Lying was not a problem anymore, she would burry her words in subtle compliments and had her target wrapped around her finger in a minute. She would charm her way out of being the one to mow the lawn (because it was what she hated most out of housework) and she would charm the baker to give them just a couple free bread rolls more, when they were tight on money. It always felt good to her, to be able to do that. To make friends without any issues, to achieve something with the way she acted and to be liked by someone. Being charming and kind became somewhat of a security blanket for her. A safe way to meet people and to never be left. So it also became a constant act. It integrated into her and created a new Maila. A bubbly, open, not - too - much, likable and friendly girl, that was liked. She never dared to drop her charm because it worked and it was easy. Easy as sleeping, easy as walking. It was as easy, as he had left them.
