History/Background:
Reducio
Holly's mother worked at a bakery, where she was doing whatever, she'd normally get up to whenever her parents were working. Her father was a muggle, her mother a witch. She wasn't too troublesome for most, but if you somehow made her mad (Which is quite a feat considering shhe does not get mad easy) then you better pray that whenever you even try to remotely talk to you she will not be very good about it. She has 4 close friends and 1 who is not necessarily that close with her, whose names are Luna McClain, Kayla McClain, Ella McClain, and Annabeth McClain. All siblings, if you're wondering. The person she's not very close with is Lila Mandora. She is naturally the type of girl you see doing dance of some sort in her freetime, or just doing whatever she feels fits her mood. So, for all someone knows is that she could end up making around forty rubber band bracelets and then take them apart and make it again to release anger. Weird coping mechanism, I know. Mind you she also has a scar on her upper leg which is visible that she got whenever her parents were not home. She was cutting paper for a school project and dropped the scissors, which cut her leg pretty badly which she simply bandaged, picked up the scissors and put on sweatpants so her parents didn't see, which is why her parents never knew. She normally was under some form of shade during recess at her school, or in her free periods just somewhere with her friend group. After school she'd sometimes help her parents in the bakery, or she'd be at home in her bedroom decorating whatever she can find, whether it's her reading corner or the roof. She is normally practicing fouettés (I know probably 99% of you don't know what they are, so please google a video of it because I don't know how to explain it) or choreographing a new dance routine. Then again, she already had a solo she had made and danced around 30 times, which was now stuck in her head. She's extremely good at ELA, but terrible at math. If someone asked her to do mental math with division or something because her life depended on it she will not be able to. That's how bad it is. She is also partly Indian from her mother's side and since her school does a thing called Indian Ed she goes to that once a month. She is naturally gifted at story writing and works on that over the summer. The day she got her letter was a rather weird one. Keep in mind her and her friend group are sometimes made fun of, but they don't really care unless it's extremely bad. Her and her mother were on the couch since her father was making a cake for a co-worker's birthday when an owl flew through the open window, dropping the letter and leaving. Holly then grabbed the letter, showing her mom before opening it. As she read it, more disbelief was appearing in her mind before a very long explanation came from her mother like when she had her first instance of magic, which she forgot about until that day.

First Instance Of Magic:

Reducio
Holly's first instance of magic was at the bakery, where her parents were baking when she was looking at a cake, wondering how to decorate when it just suddenly hovered up into the air, went to the other side of the room and sat right back down on the floor. Holly was 10 when this happened, and quite confused, might I add.

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
