Backstory

I am a Ravenclaw and proud, but I was a hat stall as I am pretty balanced between the four houses, being brave, cunning, wise and loyal. My favourite class ended up being Charms, but I enjoyed most of my classes anyway. Key word being most; I have a thing against Divination. I am a pure blood, but I don't really care about that. My life has been different to others, but that will happen. The most important thing is that we all get a chance to speak up if something isn't right about our treatment. We learnt that from Voldemort. Honestly, I am very good at magic. Top of the class. But if I'm being honest, what makes me strong is my ability to think quickly and come up with good ideas and strategies on the fly. But everyone has to have a Boggart. Now, it's no secret that I'm antisocial. I love being alone. But alone is not the same as lonely. It's my greatest weakness and my greatest fear. Loneliness. But I know I'll have to overcome that to do my dream job, which is to become an Healer. I want to be able to help others. To make them feel like somebody is there for them. I want to make them feel like, no matter what, they will be found. That's the dream anyway. Soon, I hope that I'll manage that.

On a completely unrelated note, I have an owl named Gizmo. He is a barn owl and very cute. He is rather like me, mild-mannered and shy. He was a gift from my parents. If we're talking about my parents, I guess I should explain that I rather broke the mold. The rest of my family is all rather loud, outroverted and boisterous, and Gryffindor. Everyone in my family has blonde hair and blue eyes. (I know. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Everyone loves them. I swear we're like the Weasleys. All the same. Apart from me) Me, I'm the most introverted person you could ever meet, quiet and shy, with a good dose of social anxiety in there and of course in Ravenclaw. I spend my holidays either staying at school (which I do literally every holiday) or holed up in my room reading and only coming down for meals. With my brown hair and hazel eyes, most people don't even realise me and my siblings are related. My parents aren't exactly happy about me, no matter how much they tell me they don't mind me being in Ravenclaw. Normally, I get reminded to behave although I'm better at behaving then about half of my siblings or completely ignored. But now I'm here, at Hogwarts. And I have friends. Me and a couple of my friends found this amazing room hidden behind a tapestry right at the top of Ravenclaw tower that we don't think anyone knows about. We spend most of our time in there. We've called it the 'Bird's Nest' due to the view and the location, plus the fact we're all in Ravenclaw. The view is amazing, it has these large windows that gaze out over the land. These people are my family now. And they always will be.
