Circe's parents are very loving towards each other, and try to be the best parents they can to their two children. Circe's dad, Christopher, is 38 and works as a high school history teacher. He has straight, dark brown hair and dark eyes. Christopher is quick to make a joke in response to anything happening, and loves making his children laugh. Circe's mother, Laura, is 36 and works at a bank. She has curly, light brown hair that falls past her shoulders and hazel eyes. She is kind and soft-spoken and has raised her kids to be nice to everyone, yet stand up for what is right.
Circe's brother, Cadmus, is two years older than her. He has curly light brown hair and dark brown eyes. He is very protective over his little sister and cares deeply for her. He has the same sense of humor as his father and they team up to play jokes on Circe and Laura. He plays soccer and makes Circe train with him so he can spend time with his sister. Circe admires him and thinks the world of her big brother.
Circe is the only person in her family to have magic. Her parents were shocked when they found out and asked the teacher who delivered her letter so many questions about what this means for her. Cadmus started joking with Circe, asking her to pull a rabbit out of a hat and trying to keep her from feeding off of their parents' anxious energy. Once the shock had worn off, they tried their best to support her, and made her promise to write to them every week and that they would come get her if anything happened.

Circe's first instance of accidental magic happened when she was 7. She was playing in the park near her house, sitting on a swing while combing through her favorite doll's hair. Circe had loved kids since she was old enough to no longer consider herself one (even if she still was). Once she had hit this stage her parents had bought her a doll, one she had named Pandora, following her parent's love for Greek mythology that they had passed on to her. As she was sitting on the swing, a group of three older boys came up to her. "Hey, get off the swing, we're using it now," said one of the boys bluntly. Circe looked up at them and frowned. She had never liked people being rude, so she stuck her chin up and told them no. The boy who had told her to move sneered at her, as one of the other boys stepped forward and snatched the doll from Circe's hands. "Hey! That's not yours, give it back!" Enraged, Circe stood up from the swing to go after her doll. The third boy used this as an opportunity to sit in her swing while the second boy threw her doll across the playground. The boys started laughing as there was a distinct crack! that came from the doll. Circe immediately ran over to her doll, as the boys celebrated their victory over the younger girl.
As Circe reached her beloved Pandora, she immediately started to sob as she realized the doll's face was cracked and broken. As she cried, she closed her eyes and held her doll in her arms. Hearing her cries, her older brother Cadmus ran over. Kneeling down next to his sister, he immediately asked her what was wrong. Circe held up Pandora and in between sobs tried to say, "He threw her! And now she's hurt!" Circe immediately went back to sobbing while Cadmus tried to console her. "It's okay, Circe. She's just a little dirty, nothing a bath can't fix." Circe opened her mouth to protest, to explain how she was broken, but stopped at the sight of her doll. The cracks were gone, how was that possible. Cadmus, seeing the confused look on Circe's face, stood up and pulled his little sister up with him. "Come on, Ci, let's go home." Circe wordlessly nodded along and let Cadmus guide her back home. She must have imagined the cracks in her distress, or perhaps it was just the dirt? Circe hugged Pandora close to her chest. At least her doll was okay.

Circe is a tiny child, standing at 4 foot 6 inches, and weighing around 80 lbs. She has curly dark brown hair, cut short in a pixie cut, and hazel eyes. She has light skin and she is rather skinny, with some muscle from years of ballet. She has a button nose, a defined jawline, and kind eyes.

Circe is quite shy, she loves to talk to her friends but gets anxious quickly. She is loyal to a fault, standing by her friends' sides no matter what they do. She tries to be kind to everyone, even when people aren't nice to her. Circe loves physical affection, and can constantly be seen linking arms with her friends or greeting people with a hug.
Circe loves to read, her favorite genres being fantasy and romance. She has always dreamed of finding true love like her parent's have. She also loves to learn about mythologies and fables, inspired by her dad's passion in telling her myths as bedtime stories. She also has done ballet since first being enrolled in toddler classes at the age of 3. She works hard to do her best in classes, and does pretty well.
Circe also likes to sew, and she fixes or alters her clothes to fit her better or match her style, and always offers to do the same for her brother and friends. She also likes to sing, even though she isn't great at it. Circe also loves plants and animals. She spends a lot of time gardening with her mother and caring for her various houseplants. She also adores all animals, she tries to play with stray cats and reads books on different birds so she knows what to feed the birds that land by her window.
