Backstory

I am a Ravenclaw for my superior intelligence and my wit surpasses other phenomenally. I was a hatstall because the Sorting Hat had trouble deciding whether to put me in Ravenclaw or Slytherin since I possess the traits of both. I believe my favorites classes will be Potions, Charms, Herbology, Astronomy... all of them! I am a half-blood and my blood status has not affected me since I am the daughter of a pure-blood and a half-blood, both of whom are descendants of the Noble and Ancient House of Black. I was not around during Voldemort's rise to power, my parents were seventh years though, and they have told me about everything they went through during that time. My greatest strength is probably my leadership and the fact that I use my head(unlike my siblings). My weakness is ambition but I hope to learn to control that. When I finish, I would like to live a dual life, by maintaining the balance between the wizarding world and the muggle world. I hope to be a diplomat. I believe the most fascinating aspect of magic is Potions. It's a subtle piece of magic, I know. But with the right combination, you can make something extraordinary. Even now I use my magic to help people even if they don't know it. See, I have been blessed with the ability of wandless magic like my mother, which makes me scared of what the other kids will say. I want more than anything to make the world a better place and a family to share my achievements with. I own a cat named Snow and an owl named Oreo. Snow is sweet and gentle and has the softest fur. Oreo is always doing the silliest things but is extremely well behaved. My siblings get on quite well. I have an older brother who goes to Illvermorny. He transferred last year. And then there are the twins. Corvus and Ava. I am one of the only students from America to go to Hogwarts instead of Illvermorny. Both my parents went to Hogwarts and they insisted that I do the same. My mother is a famed alchemist and author and my father is the head of the Auror Department at The Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA). I have always been rather an intelligence an have always loved to read. No surprise there! My mother was a Ravenclaw like I hope to be and even though he is pure-blooded and a Slytherin he doesn't care what house I get put into since he saw the destruction that occurred in the 1990s. Nothing has ever stopped me from achieving my goals and I plan to keep it that way.
