Backstory

My parents come from America which is why I was not predestined to a certain house. But my father works at the Ministry with Arthur Weasley which is how I befriended the family who soon made me understand that every house was fine, except for Slytherin. The Sorting Hat hesitated for a long time between Gryffindor and Slytherin but decided I would blossom more in Slytherin. It felt very strange at first ; but my ambition and cleverness soon made me understand that I belonged there. Also, the fact that I'm a pure blood might have made things easier for me than if I had been Muggle-born or half-blood.
My favorite class is Charms, I'm doing very good in it as well as in Potions class, even though I enjoy it a bit less. The class I like the least is definitely History of Magic. After I've graduated, my goal is to become a Quidditch Mediwizard.

My greatest strength is probably my ability to analyse any situation quickly in order to find the best solution in the shortest amount of time : I always plan before acting. On the other hand, my greatest weakness is probably my paralyzing fear of disappointing those who placed their trust in me.

To me, the most fascinating aspect of magic is how it forces us to use the deepest resources of our body, how it brings out someone's strength of mind rather than physical strength.
I have a cat named Dopple that my mother gave me when I was three. He and a necklace are the only things left of my mother, who passed away when I was six.
