Lexa Holmes

Backstory

LEXA HOLMES.

My name is Lexa Blake Holmes, though Lexa or Lex will suit just fine. Even only being a first-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, many times I have succeeded to excel over my fellow peers in academic and social settings.

I was born and raised in Bedfordshire in England, along with my pure-blooded family full to the brim of Slytherin descent. A British pure-blood wizarding family that dates back generations. Often described as overly ambitious and crafty. The family traditionally have been members of Slytherin house for centuries and strongly disapprove of any relatives who did not follow in this tradition. Conspired to be involved in the dark arts, partially being true. Though I am not as enriched and involved in the magical nature of the dark arts compared to members of my family. As soon as I turned eleven years old I was confident I would receive my Hogwarts letter, to which I did and I took it in with excitement and a longing for adventure. Upon arrival to Hogwarts, I was sorted into Slytherin house, honouring my family and its history.


Physical description: I am in possession of long, dark brown hair to which is straight and softly textured. Light green eyes; the slightest hint of hazel. Sporting various dark academia and black cuts of clothing when not in the required robes. Olive, easily tannable skin; flawless complexion. The stature of 5'5 in height.

Personality: Quick as a whip, a bit of a smarta** when the need is; ambitious traits picked up from the inherited family. Striking fear in the hearts of people who are simultaneously scared of and disgusted by these traits at the same time. Lexa makes it a point to carry this reputation with her in stride, displaying a fiery attitude that would intimidate even the strongest individuals. The fact that she's intelligent enough to analyze a situation properly further bolsters this aspect of her character. She is competitive, witty, a certain disregard for the rules and regulations, brutally honest of all things; intuitive. Considerate of those in her 'inner circle' (you're lucky to even get in). Her intellect extends to her social circle as well, allowing her to make on-the-spot quips and jokes that are witty in every sense of the world. These experiences vanish away easily, and Lexa still exhibits the resulting vulnerability and volatility. Beautiful but threatening, a Slytherin who sometimes can play fair. She will be your biggest enemy or your best friend. Either way, you envy her.

Hobbies: Long nights of reading, quick-witted battles with people standing in her way. Seen scoping the restricted section of the library out; never seen not getting up to trouble with friends. Making fun of the unsuspecting Gryffindor or any other house. Sitting by the black lake with her friends.

Subjects: Least favourite includes Muggle Studies and Divination. Favourites include Astronomy, DADA, Potions and Charms.

Patronus: Dragon.

Wand: Cherry wood wand with a dragon heartstring core; 11 and a half inches with rigid flexibility.

Amortentia smell: Strong, musky cologne; sandalwood and parchment.
