Character's Name: Alexandra Adelheide Edle Lamoral von Kirchberg auf Hohenstein

Character's Birthdate: 11 November 2013

Blood Status: Muggle-born

Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw

Appearance:
Alix is a bit pale with a mane of blackish brown hair that extends past her shoulders. Her eyes are sapphire blue and often sport a serious look in them. She is about 149cm:s and is rather relaxed in her dress-choices. Her nose is a bit off due to an incident in her younger days. Make-up is shunned upon and she just likes the way she is. But one thing is of note: She will feel horrible if the clothes she’s wearing have the tiniest little dirt on them, so they’re always – to a reasonable extent – clean.

Personality:
She is small, yes. But that doesn’t mean that she will attempt to hold her own against people when she is angered, that is how her nose got broken at the age of nine. She can be angry but she will attempt to hold it inside her if required, but that won’t succeed always. She is very defensive about her blood-status, even though she regards it as b******t, so call her a mudblood and you will pay the consequences. Reading fiction is one of her favourite past times, but factual books, including textbooks is appreciated too.

Family:
Ferdinand Maximilian Edler Lamoral von Kirchberg auf Hohenstein, age 35, muggle cardiologist
Mary May Windellowe, age 37, muggle paediatrician
No siblings, although there is a few cousins living in Germany, which are distantly related to the princes of Hohenlohe.

History:
Alexandra Hohenstein was born on the 11 November 2013 on a very rainy day to a couple of muggle doctors. A single child, she was surrounded by her parents from the start on. Alix’ father is from Germany and thus – after much effort from both daughter and father – she talks a bit German (with a pronounced British accent). Her father moved to England at age twenty and met her mother in Dover, in which they settled down in for a while. While in Britain, her father bunched up with the German population there and thus she met her first real friend: Hermina von Lohenstein, a very accustomed city girl, two years her senior and living with her British cousins. Alix still occasionally writes Hermina letters. She started attending Hermina’s school in 2020 and she had her first brush with magic there in early 2022: Infuriated by a boy that broke her nose, she retaliated and accidentally made all his hair fall off, much to the dismay and enjoyment of the other teachers and students. By summer 2023, her father announced regrettably that he received a new job at a hospital in Wellington and intended to move there that fall. Thus fuss was created and Alexandra was forced to leave her friends, the white cliffs of Dover and Hermina behind. She received a very strange and formal looking letter by the late age of ten, announcing that she was to attend Hogwarts. Alix fainted at the sight of it, overcome by surprise and joy. She did know after that nose-breaking incident that it was magic – helpfully explained by the half-blood Hermina – but she never thought that she would go there herself as she had moved away from Britain. Soon enough though, with the sincere and delighted approval from her parents – curious as they were – plus Hermina’s Hogwarts, A History with her – and two half emptied bank accounts – she was heading for the train.
