Reducio
Background: Rosalina grew up in a townhouse right outside of Colchester, England. Her parents are Muggle-born, so she doesn't know much about the magical world. Rose was an excellent student and continued to grow her knowledge outside of school. In her free time that wasn't spent at the library, you could find her in the field behind her house, inside snuggled up with a book, or trying new hobbies like coloring. Her parents are older than most but have been the most supportive people in Rose's life. She and her parents loved to travel whenever they had the chance. She's been to many countries but surprisingly hasn't seen much of her home country. Rose has been known for her anxious personality ever since she was a little girl. She can struggle with change but has developed some tools to help her attack challenges. While she still struggles with anxiety, she tries her best to overcome it and not let others see. When she turned eleven, she didn’t just receive a Hogwarts letter—her family was visited by a Hogwarts staff member who explained that she was a witch and what that meant for her future. Her parents were both amazed and supportive, though they had no way of guiding her beyond what little they learned from the visit. Without a way to connect with the wizarding community, Rosalina turned to books to learn as much as she could, devouring anything she could find about Hogwarts, magic, and the world she was about to enter. She was fascinated but also overwhelmed—everything felt so different, and for the first time, she truly felt like she existed between two worlds. She had never quite fit in with other kids at school, and as much as she wanted Hogwarts to be different, a part of her couldn’t shake the fear that she wouldn’t belong there either. However, Rose looks forward to the changes that she expects to experience with going to Hogwarts and hopes to finally find a place that feels like home—where she can let down her guard and grow.
First Instance of Magic: When Rosalina was roughly eight-years-old, she got her first taste of magic. At the time she didn't understand that it was magic, but whatever it was, she was enthralled. It happened on a fall afternoon in the field behind her home. There were all kinds of fallen leaves and Rose loved to sit out there with a book and take in the beauty of the natural world. A sudden, sharp noise shattered the calm—a loud bark from the neighbor’s dog. Rosalina hadn’t realized the dog was there, and the unexpected sound startled her so much that she gasped and flinched back, her heart pounding. At that exact moment, a strong gust of wind rushed through the yard, spiraling around her in a sudden burst of energy. The pile of leaves she had been playing with shot into the air, swirling wildly as if caught in a miniature tornado. Rose just watched with awe, unable to comprehend what was going on. In a split second all the leaves fell to the ground and the world was quiet and still again. Rose spun around hoping that someone else witnessed this extraordinary event, but there was no one else. Unsure if what she saw was real, Rosalina never spoke about the instance to anyone, not even her parents. It felt very sacred to her and she was afraid that if she told them they would convince her that it was all in her head. More than anything in the world, she didn't want that to be true.
