Scorpios have an excellent memory and combined with an inability to let things go, they can hold a grudge against someone who did them harm forever, in fact a Scorpio rarely if never forgives and forgets. Scorpios are extremely ambitious, persistent and determined which is shown through a power hungry, controlling attitude. Scorpios are fierce competitors, combined with their powers of observation and their excellent memory, they will recall facts and when necessary, bring them to the table at the time of need. They will win justly, with proper facts and arguments to support their thoughts and opinions. They are all about intensity and contradictions. They like to be aware of a situation and always know what's going on, figuring this out with their probing mind, on the other hand, they are interested in the occult, the paranormal, conspiracy theories and other types of similar unknown mysteries. They are very capable of hiding their true feelings and motivations, they often have ulterior motives or a hidden agenda. To be out of control is very threatening, even dangerous to the Scorpio's psyche, when they control, they feel safe.

A Little Deeper
Personality: Aegerine is generally quiet and reserved. She is very intelligent, and passionate about her interests, although she doesn’t often share that enthusiasm with others. She has a tendency to think she is better than others – smarter, more interesting – and often uses this haughty exterior to disguise the fact that she’s actually quite shy. As such, she is very independent; she prefers to do things by herself, will not often accept help if it is offered, and considers it a weakness to need it. She is an astute observer, but what she notices she will often pretend not to like, regardless of her real opinion. Aegerine usually keeps her true emotions close to herself. With this aloof, distant manner she is difficult to get to know, and more difficult to befriend, but she is fiercely loyal to those who are close to her.
Strengths:
- Aegerine is clever and quick-witted, with a talent for creative problem-solving.
- Aegerine is independent, content to do what she wants or needs to do without input from other people.
- Once she puts her mind to a problem or mystery, Aegerine will not stop working at it until it is solved.
- There are few people Aegerine cares about, but she will stand by those people no matter what.
- Aegerine is haughty, holding herself above others. She is often rude and aloof.
- Aegerine is shy, but she hates to admit this. Instead, she puts up a hostile front.
- Aegerine’s fierce independence leads her to reject any assistance even when she does need it.
- Aegerine is stubborn; it takes a lot to get her to change any opinion, and she will rarely admit she was wrong about anything.

History:
Aegerine grew up in Reading, England, the only daughter of Syenite Night and Peter Smith. She was quite young when her parents divorced; Aegerine lives with her mother, and travels to London to visit her father, when he can spare the time. Aegerine went to a primary school with a small wizarding community. She had a small group of close friends, some magical, some muggle. She grew up expecting to go to Hogwarts Scotland when she was old enough. All of that changed when her uncle and aunt died in an accident.
Aegerine had always known that she had a distant wider family, fractured by feuds among her grandparents’ generation. She never had much interest in them, but her mother had long wanted to reconnect. Tragic as it was, the accident provided her with the opportunity to do so. Syenite adopted Aegerine’s orphaned cousin, Shale, and got in touch with the family in New Zealand. Eventually she decided to move to New Zealand to be closer to them, a move which Aegerine resents immensely.
