History/Background Story: I am 4 foot 6, and 11 years old. My hair is wavy and brown. My eyes are brown.

I'm very introverted, but can interact well when I need to. I have a special interest in magical beasts, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and potions. My favorite color is Green. I am very funny and sarcastic. I love to read and just get lost in a good book. Not only that, but I also like to write. When I'm not reading or writing, you might find me pursuing various musical instruments.

I was born in Oregon, United States. Growing up, I spent my time exploring the vast mossy forests, searching for the most extraordinary waterfalls, and admiring the stony beaches from the cliffside. Always in search of my next big adventure. One time I found a natural sort of tunnel which led into this big grassy area under a waterfall, when I looked up I could see the canopy of tress obscuring the sky there were rotten logs covered in moss and mushrooms of a wide variety. I stayed there that night, and when I returned home in the morning, mom and dad were livid. I never did that again. I always took great interest in reading and learning to play as many instruments as I can, and learning anything I can get my hands on. After seeing my eagerness to learn, my two loving parents, Phineas and Elora, wanted me to get the best possible magical education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. So we moved to London last year to await my acceptance letter! I have not yet made any friends here in London. Hopefully I will make some friends during my time at Hogwarts. Maybe I will bump into some people who share my love for adventure, or maybe like to read. I know my parents would be happy to see me make some friends here.

First Instance of Magic: My first incident of accidental magic occurred shortly after we arrived here. I was climbing a tree, so I could sit up high on a branch and read a book. Suddenly, the branch I stepped on broke and I fell! Right before i was going to hit the ground, I stopped midair before being gently set down. I wasn't sure exactly what had happened, so I went to tell my parents, and my mom started jumping up and down and squealing with excitement. She called my Dad into the room and told him what happened, and he knelt in front of me and gave me a big hug with a huge smile on his face and said, "Now, sunshine, you are truly a witch.".
