Age: "Eleven, I am a Gemini."
School Year: "It is my first year at Hogwarts."
Species: "I am human, although I, like my father’s family, am a parselmouth."
Height: “I am 4’9” or 144.78 cm”

History/Background Story: Born in late May of the year 2013, Theodora was the first, and for a while the only, child of Lucian Parlow and Lisette Parlow neé Seyrès, both from old pureblood families. Her young life was mostly that of any wealthy pureblood child, she was homeschooled by private tutors in mathematics, reading and writing in English, French, and Latin, etiquette, and how to play piano. Another main part of her education, not officially of course, was the concept of blood purity and why purebloods like her are better in all ways to those of half blood or less. When not in her studies, Theo was normally found in one of two places, the library reading with her grandmother or the gardens tending to roses with her mother. However, it was in the library where her first instance of magic happened, she was six years old and told she needed to go to bed, she threw a tantrum and ended up causing one of the bookshelves to fall over.
A major part of her young life was the many parties, soirees, and balls her parents would host for the Pureblood elite, such things she'd be expected to attend and make a good showing for her family. After her younger brother, Mathias, was born, she began to feel more of a background character within her own home, the now six year old boy is seen as heir to everything the family holds dear, and Theodora a pawn for one eventual causality. To deal with emotions from this, Theodora has taken to journaling her thoughts and feelings on events around her, and becoming quite reserved and introverted when around new people.
When she was nine, she witnessed her father perform what he called “a lesson in power,” a servant boy had dropped a crystal decanter during dinner, which shattered and stained the rug with the red wine within, her father made her watch as he “reminded the riff raff where they belong,” and that “it was the proper place for a filthy Mudblood” by using dark magic on the poor boy. He then had her family's house-elf, Zalpy, clean up “the mess” which included the servant on the floor. It was after this event that Theodora began to truly fear her parents ire, and any possible retribution they might have for her if she were to step out of line and thus she tried to be the perfect daughter that had hoped she'd be.
Now that she is a first year at Hogwarts she feels a bit more free but still ever paranoid that her parents have children of family friends spying on her and reporting back to them.
First Instance of Magic: When Theodora was six, she caused a bookshelf to fall when she threw a tantrum over being told that she couldn't stay up longer to read more.
