Backstory

I was sorted into Gryffindor for my values, because at first glance, I'm not the bravest witch there was. I do however do not like my name in other people's mouths unless it's praise. I carry a lot of pride, and when I'm with my friends, I'll be the first to back-talk a rude Hogsmeade shopkeeper, or speak up in a weird Defense Against the Dark Arts class when the professor isn't following the curriculum. By myself, however, I am more reserved and shy. My worst/best trait is probably my ability to manipulate situations to get my way. The Sorting Hat noticed this and considered putting me in Slytherin. I also come from a HalfBlood family; my father was a Ravenclaw during his time at Hogwarts. This probably added to the Sorting Hat's confusion. I like Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms class, because I love getting into action with my wand and learning new spells. I'm pretty good at Herbology because one of my best friends is a Hufflepuff and spends time with Professor Sprout, but I'm not particularly fond of the class. Being half Asian was already a struggle in the UK, but being a Halfblood affects how I'm perceived in the Wizarding World too. That's probably why I wasn't put in Slytherin, come to think of it. I was alive during You-Know-Who's second rise to power, but I was still a child, so I don't remember much. My dad thought it was too dangerous to be in the UK during the time, so we moved to New York for a bit and lived in the muggle world. I didn't particularly like that, but I found some cool witches and wizards here and there. We moved back to the UK after the Battle of Hogwarts just in time for me to turn 11 and get my letter! I have a pet owl named Grey. I know, I know, unoriginal. But hey, I was young when I named him. He's my best friend. My greatest strength is probably my ability to get along with most people, and my ability to sense when someone has ill intents. My greatest weakness is thinking that my problems are the only ones in the world, when they're not. I'm also really hot-headed because of this. I've loved magic ever since my dad told me he was a wizard. It was a part of daily life for me as a kid, and I was so ecstatic when I got my Hogwarts letter. I mean, we all knew it was coming, but still! I love everything about magic. After spending time in the muggle world and back before my dad told me he was a wizard, I have an understanding of what it's like to live without magic, and it sucks. I always want to learn more and more about everything!
