6) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or Humble? Anything about your character that might help the Sorting Hat decide. (Don't worry, you can copy this onto your character page later!) Xyza is a strong willed girl. She doesn't take being told what to do kindly. She'll tell you off for it. When she's not going off glaring at people, she's reading. Her philosophy is, books are better than people. They don't disappoint you.

'''She a bit of a skeptic when you think about it. She hates lies and she's been lied to too many times. This causes her to be sarcastic and withdrawn.'''

7) Write about the history of your character. History must be at least two paragraphs long. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (Again, you can copy this onto your character page later!) Of course, it's pretty well known that magic doesn't only exist in Britain, and Hogwarts isn't the only magic school out there. And Rheine's story doesn't start in the 21st century, nope. '''In the Philippines, back when Spain first conquered it, a rather old wizarding family resided in one of the few partly magical communities 'round the globe. It was a pureblood family of fanatics, who believed that Muggles were filth and yadda yadda yadda. Despite usually being halfway around the globe from all the action, the family did quite support all the dark wizards and witches that went and past. At times, family members even participated in the purging of Muggles. The family of Niesa managed to stay "pure and untainted" till the end of the 20th century.''' '''The time that had passed had allowed them to collect dark artifacts, spells, and the whole lot. By the 20th century, their collection encompassed no less than a million objects, including spells and whatnot. They may not have had the largest collection in the world, or even Asia, but they had amassed quite a fair bit and were content with it.''' Then the rebellion happened. '''Year 1979. The youngest members of the family, the final generation of purebloods - they all rebelled and married into Muggle and "tainted" lineages. The elders were unable to do anything but watch as their precious bloodline finally met its "end", being frail and wizened. They managed a few jinxes, hexes, and curses on their children's spouses, but none did any permanent harm. Except for one single curse.''' '''Jose Niesa was one of the eldest of the siblings, and he had married a Muggle named Anita. Unfortunately, Anita had been the one to receive the strongest curse. Their first child was stillborn, the second and third dead within hours, and their fourth followed. The fifth, Jose managed to weaken the curse well enough to see it survived. However, their fifth was a runt. They named him Shem. The children that followed Shem were much stronger than their eldest living sibling, as it seemed the curse weakened each time a new child was born.''' '''Shem was one of the first half-blood children in the Niesa family for centuries. Jose tried to keep all his children from magic, insisting on limiting its use, as all it did was "tear love and family apart." Nevertheless, Shem's father homeschooled all his children in the ways of magic. However, every child besides Shem did agree with their father. They wanted nothing to do with their heritage. Shem was the special case. He showed interest and talent in his studies and excelled so well that Jose allowed him a wand, something none of his sisters and brothers had ever received. Of course, after abandoning the pureblood mania of their ancestors, Jose's parents had tried all they could to remove their children from their wills. The other elders did the same. Their efforts succeeded narrowly, and they had managed to find a loophole in the law, and had all the wealth they had accumulated over the years to be only be accessed when their eldest son's grandchild came of age. Jose and his cousins and brothers and sisters were forced into poverty.''' '''The dark family's wealth was more than enough for each elder. There had been seven of them, including Jose's father. But now it was inaccessible.''' '''Shem and his siblings tried to do their best in order to help their parents. Shem went as far as abandoning magic, as it couldn't help them in the Muggle world where they now lived. He tried to become an engineer, but funds and technicalities forced upon him a teaching position, which barely sufficed for his family's needs.''' '''Shem was eventually married to a Muggle woman named Janissa, whose grandfather had been a Muggle-born wizard. The gift of magic had not been given to Janissa, but it was given to their child. The dangerous curse Anita had suffered had weakened with every birth, barely existing now. But it was now passed onto Janissa, as the curse was meant to halt the half-bloods from reproducing with Muggles or tainted lineages. It was weakened to the point that Shem and Janissa simply could not conceive a child. For once in his adult life, Shem took up his dusty old wand and did his best with his basic knowledge to weaken the curse further. Fortunately it worked.''' '''Shem, after the birth of his child Rheine, fell out of love with his wife. It was mutual. Well, Shem fell into a hole dug by his own grief.  What is about to be said had been the Niesa's best kept secret.  Shem, in his drunken, grief-stricken state, found some muggle girl, and...well...things happened. After nine months of quiet anger from Janissa (She had ways.), a little girl was delivered at the door with a letter explaining the baby was born on December 21st, Shem was the father, and that her name was Xyza.''' This is her story.

'''Xyza Niesa wasn't exactly favored by Janissa. After all, Xyza wasn't her child. Which hurt Xyza more than she let on.'''

'''She would mostly be in her room, reading books, or asking Rheine to 'do the magic' on the people who bullied her relentlessly for being a 'daydreamer' or 'saying things she shouldn't'. '''

'''Well, when Xyza was seven, the divorce happened. Leaving her with her father while her big sister went somewhere else. This caused a change in her personality. And another scare to Shem.'''

'''Her first sign of magic was when she was online sending an email to Rheine (she was still waiting for a response). Well, imagine having a thought that made you really angry. That anger, caused the lights to flicker in Xyza's home. '''

'''She was bullied less and less due to the fact she would finally speak up and fight her own battles. She would come home everyday, with a new purpose. She doesn't need help.'''

'''Well, when Xyza was ten, Shem sent Xyza to live with her mom. She wasn't happy with the fact. Upon arrival, she received her letter to Hogwarts.'''
