Backstory

"This I'll Defend!"

Kia Ora. I'm a fairly short statured, short haired, hazel-eyed Gryffindor, newly sorted and still getting the hang of things. I'm Muggleborn (or at least I think I am - I've never met my Dad's parents) and still in awe of the magical world.

I've spent most my life growing up in New Zealand, but my parents sent me to live with my estranged and eccentric aunt in Scotland shortly after I turned 9. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it has something to do with all the accidents that happened around me while I was younger. My hair would change colour over night, or sometimes during the middle of the day. I'd sneeze and like, launch myself ten feet in the air and have to have the fire-department come rescue me. I used to see shapes dancing in the fireplace during winter, but after I mentioned something about it to my Mum, Dad changed the old wood burner out for a central heating system. I also used to heal a lot faster than a wee tot should.

After moving to Scotland,. I was home schooled in a mix of muggle and magical subjects until I was old enough to receive and accept my Hogwarts letter. My pet is a Russian Blue cat (more like kitten really, she's only a year or so old) called Macey, my Aunt has two owls, one of which has taken up near-permanent residence in the owlery here because he's a stubborn prick and I made the mistake of bonding with him while living with my aunt. He goes home occasionally.

I don't know anybody at Hogwarts, but my Aunt says I have two older cousins (this could mean they're second or third cousins to be honest, my family has a loose definition of 'cousin') in other Houses. I think one is in Hufflepuff, the other I'm not sure. She's going to get back to me on that one.

I'm a bit of a nerd, I like reading - particularly comic books and fantasy novels (though now I know what I know they're more like adventure fiction???). I love animals, and I love Quiddich. I want to make the team one-day - I'm not sure exactly what position I want to play, but I think both the Keeper and Beater roles are fun.
