Anemoi Sterling

Anemoi was born to muggle parents in London, England on the 26th of May 2013. Her mother was a White British woman named Lucy Sterling and her father was a Taiwanese/Chinese citizen and businessman named Ethan Tsai, who resided in the United Kingdom for several years in the 2010’s. The couple had a short marriage and separated when Anemoi was 3 years old. The girl remained in England with her mother and they moved to Birmingham soon after. Birmingham is where she grew up.

Her father returned to Taiwan and now lives there with a different wife and their children. He sees Anemoi occasionally when he is visiting the U.K. but they are not close. He tends to make up for his absence with allowances and gifts of her choosing during visits, however there is little emotional connection between the two. He was not alerted to Anemoi’s magic and is unaware of the magical world or Hogwarts’ place in it. He believes that Anemoi has simply gotten a scholarship to an English boarding school as that is the information she and her mother gave him. Anemoi does not think he needs to know she’s a witch as long as he sends the funds for school fees and asks his normal level of questions (which is very few). Ethan is likely an ESTP personality type.

Lucy Sterling is likely an ENFJ personality and cares deeply about her daughter, however she can be a bit overprotective at times. She rents a small Tudor-style home in Birmingham with a large flower and vegetable garden in the back where she lives with Anemoi (when her daughter is not at Hogwarts) and two pet ferrets, Smudge and Pebble.
Lucy homeschooled Anemoi from ages 6-11 before the hogwarts letter came. The girl was academically gifted and Lucy let Anemoi follow her interests. The young girl would often finish her studies by lunch and then spend a lot of time reading (mainly fantasy, science fiction, and historical fiction novels, along with some folklore), playing out of doors in the garden, neighborhood, or nearby woods, and following creative pursuits, particularly sketching and watercolor.

Anemoi did not however spend much time around other children, as most of her peers spent their days away at places like school buildings and sport practices. She only knew some neighbors and was unsure about approaching the ones her age. Because of this, Anemoi became somewhat lonely (secretly, so as to not worry her mother) and started identifying as a bit of a loner. But she does truly want more friends, she just hadn’t gotten the chance much before hogwarts.

Anemoi’s entire close family are muggles and so she was surprised to get her letter from hogwarts although she had had suspicions that there was something magical about her. Because of all her reading on fay lore she had wondered long ago if she was a changeling or some sort of half-fairy (e.g the “selkie” incident). but discovering wizarding and acceptance to a magic school was even better than her earlier theories.

Starting at the school, Anemoi is shy and awkward in new environments but once she grows comfortable with someone/a group she can be quite blunt and witty. She also gives magnificent advice and acts protective of her friends. Her mbti is either infj or infp depending on the day and time of year.

Anemoi’s first instance of magic occurred at the age of 8, when her head went underwater in a kiddie pool. She found that she was still breathing, pulling oxygen from the water instead of drowning.

The incident was an act of magical self-preservation. However, being muggle-born (with no knowledge of the wizarding world) and a fanciful child who believed in fairies and similar creatures, Anemoi hoped she was part selkie for the longest time afterwards.

Her false belief in possible selkie heritage was disproven once her Hogwarts letter arrived and she discovered that she was fully human but of the wizard variety. Finding out she can do magic has been the most exciting event of her life so far.

Anemoi is a slightly tall girl (about 5 feet and 2 inches) with light brown or olive skin and freckles across her nose and cheeks. She has brown slightly upturned eyes from her Southeast Asian heritage on her father’s side and loosely curling dark hair from her English mother. She is rather thin and lanky but not very athletic. In fact, she is rather clumsy despite her energetic way of moving. She often wears school robes, but when she has time away from academics Anemoi can be found in old fashioned linen dresses and skirts and with wild flowers (weeds, but she would never call them that) woven into her hair.

Anemoi is generally a very motivated girl and is committed to academics, especially now that she gets the chance to learn magic after her muggle upbringing. She cares deeply about people, nature, and creatures, and she loves anything whimsical or strange. She reads a lot and practices formal logic and philosophy studies in her free time, along with some art and fiction writing.


Note: Anemoi is not open to romantic relationships at this age.
