Maya Maxwell | Slytherin

BACKSTORY

Maya Maxwell is a half-blood with a wizard father (Daniel Maxwell) and muggle mom (Amelia Maxwell).
His father is the friendly yet serious type. He knows when to take things seriously and when to have fun. Social and smart, he knows how to take things to his advantage. He is also a very active person and works in the Ministry of Magic, he's very well-respected and was sorted into Ravenclaw during his time at Hogwarts, proving his social and academic intelligence.

Maya's mother on the other hand is a very compassionate and kind woman. She loves and accept her family who all has magical abilities while she is a muggle. Maya wonders if she ever gets jealous about it, if she does, she hides it well. But sometimes Maya notices her mother having some envious look in her eyes whenever her husband performs magic at their house. She doesn't seem to look jealous when it comes to her children though, at least to Maya's knowledge and observation.

Speaking of Amelia's children, Maya also has an older witch sister (Ava Maxwell) who already gradutated as soon as Maya started Hogwarts. Ava is like a complete combination of Amelia and Daniel Maxwell, she's kind and compassionate like her mom and smart and social like her father. Mostly like her father due to her magical abilities and being sorted into the same house like him while she was studying at Hogwarts.

She usually gets along with her family pretty well. Growing up in a moderately witchy home with spells she always sensed she'd be a witch like her father and sister. She wants to make her family and herself proud by her achievements. Maya has big dreams and goals in her mind, including the dream of being a professional Quidditch player where she can show glory, and also being a very succesful student and witch, showing what she's capable of. Ultimately, her drive to success and glory caused Maya to be sorted into the Slytherin house, which made her family a bit surprised but she is happy being different.

Maya was 6 years old when she had her first instance of magic. Since she was born in a home with magic around during many times in her life, she wasn't so surprised but happy and excited. A few weeks before she started her (non-magical) school she randomly woke up with a ginger hair, meanwhile she was naturally a brunette! Her sister had noticed that and said it was a cool first instance of magic and hugged Maya. Maya liked having ginger hair but at the end of the day it was brown again.
