PERSONALITY
Maheen is a silent and introspective person who observes more than she speaks. She is calm and collected with herself, but close to her, one will realize that she is fiercely loyal and protective. She loves solving problems, planning, and thinking a few steps ahead of what needs to be done.

She does not love to be the focus of attention, but she loves to do everything perfectly. She has high self-expectations, and whenever she fails, she gets frustrated easily. In front of friends, she uses a lot of dry humor and sarcasm.

She is composed, observant, and incredibly driven. She has high self-expectations and silently strives towards fulfilling them. She is more motivated by competition than intimidated, and she likes proving her mettle to others.

Though she seems serious most of the time, especially to strangers, she has an active imagination and enjoys fiction and fantasy theories. She is fiercely loyal to her close family and friends but does not trust many. She is competitive and protective of the people whom she trusts. She cannot stand defeat, underestimation, or giving up easily on her goals.



BACKGROUND
Maheen comes from a traditional family of wizards living in Edinburgh. They believe that knowledge, traditions, and politeness are valued higher than social standing or money. In her early years, Maheen studied mostly at home, getting a great education both in magic and non-magic areas before coming to Hogwarts. Her tutoring included reading, writing, math, magical manners, and wizarding history.

Her father works in the Ministry of Magic under the Department of Magical Records and Archives, whereas her mother is a magical botanist whose expertise lies in growing Scottish magic plants. Her brother Oliver is 3 years older than she is. He goes to Hogwarts too. Like all brothers and sisters do, they fight a lot but love each other very much.

In her childhood, Maheen loved to read and draw pictures. She used to take strolls with her parents in Edinburgh and the countryside of Scotland, developing a passion for castles and tales of magic. Everything about Maheen's childhood was pleasant and peaceful. She had her close family and a circle of friends among nearby wizarding families. Instead of adventure, she preferred quiet reading or nature exploration.

First Instance of Magic
At the age of four, Maheen was with her family in Holyrood Park when autumn had arrived. She was looking at a bunch of wildflowers when suddenly there was a gust of wind blowing leaves all around. She stepped back out of shock and surprise, and those leaves made a circle around her in a beautiful manner and then settled down on the floor near the flowers without touching them. It took only a few seconds, but it was enough for her parents to realize that her magic powers surfaced.
