Valentina Daenerys

Backstory

You see, being born to a family of strictly only pure-blood Slytherins is harder than when it first meets the eye. My family doesn't hold the best reputation as my parents are Lorenzo Orpheus and Katerina Daenerys. My father has discriminated against muggle-borns for as long as I can remember. He believes pure-bloods are superior in every way. I used to hold the same views as him, I mean can you really blame me, being around that kind of man is sure to influence your views but I've grown to hold my own beliefs since then. My grandfather was a Death Eater so I've always had this lingering fear that if He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named ever came back somehow, my father would join him. I never had a good relationship with my father, we don't get along and our beliefs are completely different. He's always putting me under pressure which is why half the time I don't believe I'm good enough. I've questioned my self-worth and ability more times than I can count because of that man. My mother on the other hand, was my guardian angel up until around age 8. I was always such a mummy's girl, I even decided to take her surname rather than my father's, however she became a carbon copy of my father and to be completely honest, I can't even recognise her sometimes. She's not the same woman she was years ago and I blame him for it every day. I'm an only child with no friends thanks to my family's great reputation so I only ever had my mother. The day I lost her to my father was the day I lost myself.

Since then, I've been working and perfecting my magic every day in hopes one day I can become an Auror. To be truthful, I've always been fascinated by the Dark Arts but it's not permitted in Hogwarts so an Auror is as close as I can get. Not to mention, my mother following in my father's foot steps inspired me to reach towards that career path. I'm always pushing myself to be the best I could possibly ever be even if it hurts me, it's all I've ever known. I'm already intrigued by Defence Against the Dark Arts, Potions, and Charms. Those are the only subjects I know I'm going to try and excel at. The rest I really couldn't care less about.

I highly doubt I'll make any friends, even Slytherin ones. I only ever had one friend. Her name was Eden. We met through our mothers, who were also childhood best friends. Eden and I clicked as soon as we met, I felt like I could tell her anything, even if it involved my father. We would hang out every day and buy hundreds of chocolate frogs and race each other to see who could collect a certain trading card first. I think I developed a crush on her at some point, but she disappeared soon after. No one knows where she is or what could've happened, she just vanished. My parents have also lost contact with her family, it's like they erased themselves from history. I miss her every day but something tells me it's my father's fault. No one wants anything to do with me when they find out my family's history.

Being sorted into Slytherin came as no surprise. I'm cunning, ambitious, and I take pride in everything I do. I will do whatever it takes to achieve greatness, whether it means hurting the ones around me or not, I'm willing to go that extra step to garner success. I guess that was the biggest hint I belonged in Slytherin. I'll also admit I've been diagnosed with Anger Issues and Bipolar Personality Disorder. Because of that, I've realised I can be a bully at times. I don't know why nor do I really care why. At the end of the day, as long as I have myself and my future, nothing else really matters. I mean no one wants to go even 2 metres close to me anyway so who cares.
