It was no secret that the young Dubois girl was pretty. Théo and Colette Dubois ensured their daughter looked perfect and flawless in whatever clothes or dress she wore. Her hair was always styled to perfection and her natural beauty was always enhanced with simple makeup. It was almost impossible to look away from her. As she grew up her parents also made sure she walked, talked, and did everything with elegance and excellence. Élodie was the picture-perfect image of a proper, young, pureblooded girl.

As the girl got older, she began to attend lavish pureblooded balls along with her parents and two older brothers. At each and every ball, as the Dubois family entered the room, eyes were drawn to Élodie. With her beauty and the air of grace around her, how could eyes not be drawn towards her? Boys wished that they could be with her. Girls wish they were her, jealous of all the attention Élodie received. And even the mothers in the room wished that their daughter could be more like her. Of course, Élodie played her part, smiling brightly and forcing herself to not be upset every time her parents tried to set her up with possible suitors at various balls.

Eventually, with the arrival of Célina, Élodie's youngest sibling, her parents paid more attention to the younger girl, attempting to make her just like her older sister. With the realization that her parents no longer watched her like a hawk, Élodie stopped trying to impress when she wasn't under the watchful eye of her parents. She had more freedom to do what she wanted (hence her secret love for quidditch). However, despite her efforts to shake away the multiple pairs of eyes that would follow her, she could never make it happen.

She was still in the spotlight, a reputation and a family name to uphold. Her beauty was still the first thing a person would notice as she walked into a room. When a boy approached her to tell her she was pretty, she fought the urge to roll her eyes. The compliment grew to be empty words. She knew she was pretty and she didn't care how many people pointed it out. Half the time, someone would only talk to her because she was pretty. And Élodie didn't like that.

She wanted real friends. Not fake ones who would only use her. She wanted someone to look past her beauty and get to know her as a person. She wanted someone who wanted her for her personality. Éldoie didn't want to be just another girl with a pretty face.

Playing Quidditch with her brothers was one of Élodie's favorite things to do. Though of course, it had to be in secret. Théo and Colette Dubois thought no young lady should ever play something as improper as Quidditch. Except for Élodie, the fact that she's indulging in activities that her parents don't exactly approve of only, made it more exhilarating. Sneaking out of their estate to their tree-surrounded makeshift pitch with Éliott and André, the three brooms under Élodie's arms and the case that held the quaffle, two bludgers, and the snitch, carried between the two boys.

What she loved even more than sneaking out with her two older brothers, were the fun games they played with each other as they taught Élodie how to ride a broom and play the game that she fell in love with. The trio would play keep-away with the quaffle, compete on who could do the best broom tricks, who could hit the bludger the furthest before it came back, and her personal favorite, a competition of who could spot and catch the snitch first. However, Élodie's opinion might be slightly biased since she was spectacular at spotting the snitch and getting to it quickly. Her small stature helped her out with that.

Her eyes could always catch the golden glint of the snitch in her vision, immediately taking off in a speedy attempt to catch the small golden ball first. As she continued playing the game with her brothers, she only got better at spotting the snitch. She got so good at it that if she randomly took off flying quickly while playing the game, her two brothers would follow her path as fast as they could, truly believing that their younger sister had once again spotted the oh-so-familiar golden glint. Élodie would always laugh and tease the two for falling for her trick, ending their game once she'd actually gotten sight of the ball.

When Élodie finally admitted to her brothers that she wanted to try out for the Quidditch team at Beauxbatons, Éliott and André had been incredibly supportive. However, when she wondered what she should try out for, both boys stared at her like she had grown two heads, stating that Seeker was the perfect position for her and that she'd proven over and over that she had the eye for spotting the snitch. Of course, Élodie was unsure, and to prove their point, the trio played their game, Élodie coming out victorious as she always did.
