The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each. With the majority of her developing life spent at traditional boarding schools, Reyna is quite easily, to say the least, a twenty-first century noble. Despite her rough start to life, she has bloomed into a beautiful young woman under the care of various adults and professors throughout her school career. From the years spent in the Institut auf dem Rosenberg, a highly traditional Swiss insitute, she has learned a variety of skills and was encouraged to let her mind and creative side shine. She is an incredibly quick learner, but at the same time, rarely lets things get to her head. Reyna is humble, naturally so, there's no falseness coming from her ever. She never takes sarcasm with anyone, always makes sure to say things that people appreciate, even if it's a tiny lie in the process.

As she finished her schooling at Rosenberg and transferred to Beauxbatons, Reyna's personality only grew in leaps and bounds. She found herself thriving under the stricter traditions and rules of the other school. While she did miss her family on occasions, the amount of work and extracurricular activities thrown at her kept her busy. Reyna found herself standing out amongst her classes, particularly in healing, etiquitte, and dance. As much as she wanted to stand out in horseback riding, she just couldn't manage it. She adored the amount of work the teachers put in, thriving under their attention, and handling everything handed to her with a natural ease.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each. Born to Veela Amanda and Jason Black, a pure-blood wizard, on April 23rd, 2026, Reyna Artemis Black entered the world screaming her head off. She was of normal size, albeit being a week early, and was immediately enfolded into her family's numbers. Reyna grew up the middle of three, flanked either side by more energetic and demanding brothers, and she didn't really thrive in that environment. She more liked being by herself or even with one or two people at the absolute maximum, usually spending time with her nose buried in a book.

Her family lived in the countryside, about three hours' drive from town, surrounded on all sides by forested lands. This was her favorite spot to go and read, nestled in the roots of an old willow tree on the farthest piece of land that made up their backyard. Her brothers didn't know where their sister went, but they didn't really care either way. It was the weird Reyna behavior that they were familiar with, and when Reyna was two, her life changed forever.

She was relaxing by the roots, watching the stars, something, she doesn't quite remember what, scared her and her veela form came out of nowhere. This terrified her family, even though they were familiar with behaviors from Amanda. Reyna struggled to adjust with life as a half-veela, not familiar with the new personality traits. Amanda put her foot down, stating that they had to make a choice: Reyna or their sons, and of course, they chose their sons. Reyna was drugged and taken to Lil Bundles orphanage that same night, left on the doorstep like some moldy package.

She spent two years in the orphanage, before she was sent to the le Fey Manor as Dunstan and Giovanni le Fey had requested to foster a child. It seemed to her that everything would soon go back to normal, well, as much as normal could be for a half-veela and former abandoned orphan. Two more years passed pretty smoothly as she came to belong in the le Fey family. Then... she recieved the news that she was going to be officially considered a member of the le Fey family. A failed foster fairytale... it was perfect for Reyna.

She lived a few more months with them, before turning five, and getting sent off to the Institut auf dem Rosenberg, for schooling, one of the oldest boarding schools in Switzerland. She rarely experienced homesickness when overseas, and was able to write to her family whenever her schedule permitted it. As such, when she was eight, her magic manifested, sending a flood of snowballs at other students her age that got her in trouble in the end. She was too excited... and as such, she transferred to Beauxbatons Academy at the age of eleven, being chosen by Ombrelune house. Reyna finished her first three years of magical schooling at Beauxbatons, before having enough of living overseas and away from her family. She moved back to live with her family the coming summer, and cannot wait to start her Hogwarts education like her siblings and father in the coming year. However, the Minister's new policies are throwing a wrench into her plans... At least no one knows that she's half-veela.

3) Write about your character's appearance. What do they look like? Are you planning on using a certain model for your character? If you already have a picture in mind, you can put it here! Her model is India Eisley.

4) Is your character a Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important characters from the Harry Potter Universe!) Half-Blood, Related to the House of Merlin

5) Does your character have any special abilities? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of a magical race counts!
