What are three moments in your childhood life you feel have shaped you?:

The first would have to be when my magic manifested. There's no witch or wizard who'd dare say their first bit of accidental wandless magic wasn't the single most important moment in their life. I can be pretty impatient, so watching my entire family go through their every day with magic while I waited and waited for mine to show up was pure torture. I knew it was coming of course, magic runs strong in the blood of both sides of my family but the question only lied with the timing of its arrival. When that foretold age finally came round, I think I held my breath waiting for something, anything magical to happen to me but nothing came about from my painful waiting - at least I had thought so. Mother says it's because of my stress that built up over wanting to finally become a witch that catapulted my older brother out of the third story window. He's fine though, he was already on his broom.

This is an easy one too! Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love my creatures. I'd have to say my second most important moment would be the day I got my first pet, a Runespoor named Hubert, Robert and Egbert. My father had noticed - wisely so - that sometimes I could let my emotions get the best of me and figured that gifting me a snake the length of an adult man would help teach me responsibility, patience and all those important virtues. Hubert, Robert and Egbert played a big role in the person I am today, much more mellow and controlled than the child prone to outbursts of the past because they were my first true friends. It was tough for me to get along with the neighborhood kids for I was either jealous of them already possessing their own magic at the time or they were a bit scared of me as my tantrums had become a bit famous. My Runespoor never judged me, never spoke badly of me - though they did argue amongst themselves a lot. I didn't realize that I was a Parselmouth until after I heard Hubert threatening to bite off Robert's head in my own head. Unfortunately, I couldn't talk any of them down from the fight and had to bury the now headless snake the very same day.

the final moment stays between just you and i. and i'm serious. at our family home there is a wine cellar, one that i've never seen anyone use for anything alcohol related in all my years. you see, my parents thought they could distract me with pets, toys, mere objects that worked on my older brother sure, but never me. as a child i was too inquisitive and because of that, i stumbled upon the two of them mid-cruciatus curse on three bound wizards in the wine cellar one night. the first time i'd seen such a magic, i was completely transfixed, confused but so interested. every time my parents retreated to that "wine cellar", i hung close on tip-toes with bated breath just to see the way they could make these "aurors" squirm. my brother never knew the kind of fun he was missing out on.
What are three personality traits you feel help define you and why?:

honest

"Don't mince your words for those with digestion problems." My mother always says that, had said it since we were kids and would laugh thinking of people eating our words and spending hours on the toilet afterward. Now that I'm older, I've truly come to understand the concept I once thought silly. I see it everyday, people lying right through their teeth just to keep someone around or to not hurt someone's feelings. The truth is important, if its my own truth then I'm entitled to it, as are you to your own. Who am I to keep that from you? IF your hair resembles a hag's, don't expect me to not tell you.

balanced

It took a while, but I honestly feel like I've finally come into my own. For a long time I was always either one way or another; I could be extremely angry or stressed then over the top happy without much time in between. But with my animals and creatures, as well as coming into my own magical abilities, I've found my emotions balancing out like they had waited for these two things to fully come into my life. Like any other person, I'm prone to my own emotional extremities but no longer are they off the walls.

stubborn

Embarrassing to admit to but it's really, really hard for me to change my mind on something once it's set there. People get upset with it, thinking that it's because I think I'm better than them... and it's not like that at all! Though my family is revered on two different continents, I never try to throw that around to get my way, status can only get you so far. The other students just aren't as informed. The average Hogwarts student only knows what they learn in these corridors, nothing more, nothing less; Muggleborns and Half-Bloods especially. I've been blessed to experience things they can only read in books, unimaginable magic... Being called inflexible by them is the least of my worries.

- We're in EST and the best way to reach us is probably through private message as our schedule can vary. This will be updated with more info later on when more plot ideas come to mind, etc.
