Belle Descartes

Backstory

I was born under a Virgo sun and Cancer moon. Ever since I was little I've always loved to read and learn new things, whether magical or not. So I self-studied magic and creatures here in the Philippines where I'm from, and took off to Hogwarts to discover magic in the Western world.

No surprise I'm a Ravenclaw.

My grandmother, the source of magic in my family, was a powerful witch who had an affinity for talking to magical creatures and cooking hearty stews. I didn't inherit her skill in household charms but I did get her gift of Seeing. That is, I have the gift of reading—whether books, energies, the stars, tarot cards, or sometimes the future.

A little duende (kind of like an elf or hobgoblin) who lived in my grandmother's garden crafted my wand from a rather swishy fire tree and a fairy wing core. I've got a Thestral as a patronus (Pottermore confirmed!).
