| Wren Snowbell | First Year | Slytherin House |

BASIC INFO Full Name: Wren Marlienne Snowbell House: Slytherin House Age: 11-years-old Wand: 25,8cm Chesnut Wood and pheonix feather. Very flexible, gifted with defensive powers and likes wizards who go on dangerous quests. School Year: First Year Patronus: Unknown at this time Species: Pure-Blooded Human History/Background Story: Reducio Wren grew up quite sheltered, in a smaller coastal town called Blyth on the edge of a forest, with her parents and her grandparents. Her family is on the conservative side of wizarding politics so they had her tutored from home when she was young. Wren's parents raised her in the Snowbell family's ancestral home. A huge, old, mansion with many corridors and rooms, some of which bewitched to do strange things or have passwords, which has well prepared her for a life at Hogwarts. During her childhood she would spend a lot of her time wandering the forests. The children of the town were almost all muggles with a few half-blood children, all of which her parents discouraged her from talking too. Her family is very tight-knit, she has 8 cousins, and 7 aunts and uncles (including in-laws). Other than her parents Wren is most close with her cousin Aeron. He's exactly her age and they've always enjoyed each other's company despite Aeron's father's (Uncle Soren) intense, one sided rivalry with Wren's father. If there's a family member that Wren hates the most it's probably her grand mother on her father's side, she's a nasty vindictive woman that has always loved to make Wren feel small. There's also her mother's side of course, Wren's mother is their only child so they often come to family gatherings with her dad's side and sometimes they even host. All together Wren had a pretty good, but very high pressure childhood, and now she's at hogwarts ready and willing to do whatever it takes to impress her family. First Instance of Magic: Reducio Wren, like other children, has had many small bouts of magic that were not noted by the book of acceptance. A making water splash a bit to high or miraculously silent foot steps when sneaking through the kitchen late at night. But the instance that got her into the book took place in the forest when she was 7 years old. It was a late fall afternoon and she was wandering the woods aimlessly. As she wandered the trees became more sparse and before she knew it she found herself on the tip of a cliff that hung precariously over the thrashing sea. She crept over to the edge to look out a the ocean. She felt hypnotized by it, the waves seemed to dance and the undertoe whispered. But she got to close, her foot slipped and she was sent plummeting toward the water's surface. Yet somehow, miraculously, she landed as if she had jumped off a low diving board, not even remotely effected by the cold water. In fact, she didn't even realize the danger she had been in until she got home and gave her governess the scare of her life when she recounted the tale. These days however, they look back on it and just laugh. Her parents are very proud to tell the story as evidence of their daughter's natural giftedness in her magical abilities.
