Hair: Beatrice was born with blond hair like her twin. When she was nine, she begged her mother to let her dye her hair brown. Bea alluded to it being for a school play, but in reality, she wanted a way to differentiate herself from her twin, Maggie. Her mother has allowed her to keep the brown hair since.
Eyes: Bea's eyes are light blue, sometimes grey.
Skintone: Beatrice has a peachy but paler complexion. She burns easily in the sun.
Body: Beatrice is the smaller of the twins, both in height and stature. She has had difficulty putting on weight most of life and did not meet growth milestones like her sister, Maggie.
Height: As of entering her second year, Beatrice is 4'4".
Dominant Hand: Beatrice is left-handed.
Distinguishing features:
Beatrice is smaller than many of her classmates, having yet to hit a growth spurt. Her right pinky toe does not grow a nail. She has a small scar from her appendix removal.
Style:
Beatrice has not had a ton of time to figure out her individual fashion style. She attended a private school prior to HNZ that required uniforms, and her mother is very particular about what she and Maggie wear, as it must be a positive representation of the family. Beatrice prefers pastels and lighter colors when it comes to clothing, as well as bows.
Tattoos: Beatrice has no tattoos.
Piercings: Beatrice had both ears pierced once when she was five; she and her twin sister Magdalena received it as a birthday gift from their grandmother.
Surgeries: Beatrice was born via C-section, the first of a set of twins. Due to birth complications, Beatrice had a few small procedures done within her first year of life. She also had her appendix removed when she was 7.
Allergies: Beatrice has asthma and is allergic to cats and eggs. She is also lactose-intolerant.

Overview: Beatrice was born in Maine but grew up in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Due to her family's affluent status, Beatrice was able to gain an exceptional education. She attended private schools, taking traditional classes as well as advanced courses in math, writing, and science. She also took electives in French, Speech and Debate, and Orchestra. Beatrice qualified to join Mensa when she was 4, with an IQ of 138. This allowed her to excel in academics.

Additionally, Bea found figure skating to be exceptionally interesting. She and Maggie were signed up for an intro to skating class when they were 6, and while Maggie refused to get back on the ice after the first day, Beatrice couldn't get off. She took to the sport and competed nationally, placing in national competitions in 2059, 2061, and 2062. At age 6, the twins were also enrolled in riding lessons, as their parents owned a stable. Beatrice found the sport enjoyable, but not as much as figure skating. She mainly does trail riding with her sister on her horse, Banana.

Reaction to receiving Hogwarts Letter: Beatrice was unaware of the magical world prior to receiving her letter. She learned that there were two other members of her family who were also witches. Beatrice felt like her understanding of the world was significantly altered, and she immediately asked her aunt to supply her with books to increase her understanding of the magical world.

School: Hogwarts New Zealand
House: Ravenclaw
Reaction to Sorting:


Sorting Post said:
Beatrice had read about the Sorting Ceremony in some of the books her aunt had provided, but she wasn't able to comprehend any of it until this moment. The Great Hall was giant, and Bea felt even smaller than she already was among her peers. The robes she had put on swallowed her up and she stood as close to Maggie as she could while they were ushered to their standing area. A man began to speak, and since he never really introduced himself, Beatrice wasn't sure what his role was here. But he seemed important. She listened intently as he spoke, feeling even more worried about the idea of a Forbidden Forest. Beatrice grabbed Maggie's hand tightly, feeling her twin squeeze back. Where had their parents sent them to? She'd been reading for weeks, but it hadn't seemed to prepare her properly.

Other students started to be called up to the front, waiting as a large hat was placed on their head and then suddenly spoke. Some of them seemed to talk to it while others stayed silent. She didn't quite understand the houses, but as she stood here, she only hoped to be paired with Maggie. She hadn't really wanted to before, but being here in this strange place - all she wanted was her twin. Unfortunately, she heard her name be bellowed throughout the hall, and Bea looked at Maggie, who gave her an encouraging grin before letting go of her hand. Bea struggled through the other students before feeling the hat fall onto her head, covering her eyes.


"Hmm, I see a very active and keen mind. This will be very simple, as we have just the place for this curiosity...Ravenclaw,"

Notable Achievements:
Wand:
Curly 15 1/2 Inch Flexible Willow Wand with Phoenix Tail Feather Core
Wood: An excellent wand wood for healing and non-verbal magic, the wielder of a Willow wand more often than not has something about themselves which makes them insecure unnecessarily. (via Ollivander's on HNZ))
Core: Phoenix tail feathers are not easy to come by. The animal is known for its versatility, making wands with this core useful for wand casters who seek to become good with different types of magic. (via Ollivander's on HNZ)

Family History: While Bea is a muggleborn witch, there is a magical history throughout their family. A few generations prior to her grandmother, there were numerous witches and wizards, many of whom died in the Wizarding War in England. Her family started marrying muggles, producing squibs, or not having children in general. The magical gene somehow became dormant until recently, when it reappeared with her aunt and cousin and now her sister and she.

Beatrice is the eldest child of Evander and Viola Grey. Beatrice was born via C-section after her mother went into labor while preparing their summer home for the first event of the season. The physically weaker and smaller twin, Beatrice was born with some health concerns that required surgery in the first few years of life. However, she quickly started to thrive, even though she has always been smaller than her sister, Maggie. Beatrice grew up in a wealthy New England family with strong ties to Britain.

Beatrice was wildly nervous about her first year at school. Being muggleborn, she was unsure of what to expect but knew she would send her best foot forward going into her academics, even if magic was a struggle. While it took her time to figure things out, she did well academically and started to meet a few people here and there. However, her relationship with twin struggled, and Bea continually worked for ways to find separation from her sister, even keeping her hair dyed brown to diffrentiate herself with little success. She took time off during the break and hoped to start her second year fresh.

Figure Skating is a popular sport in the Muggle world. You can compete as an individual or as a pair, and you ice skate and dance across the ice. In competitions, there are certain elements or skills you have to do in your routine, and then judges score you based on how well you do each skill.

Anyone can learn how to figure skate - it just takes practice. The first step is to get very comfortable with ice skating and being able to move in different directions across the ice. Jumps and spins can come later.

An important part of figure skating is the storytelling. The music each competitor uses and the costumes they wear can help the audience know what the dance is about. Since each competitor has to compete with similar skills, having a story can help everyone enjoy watching figure skating more.

Dear Aunt Meg,
Why is it that boys are so blind? I'm pretty and I'm smart and they just don't notice me? Is there something wrong with them?
- Concerned


Dear Concerned,
I'm guessing you are asking me why boys don't notice you in like a love way and not in a "they can't actually see me" way because that would be cause for concern that you might in fact be invisible! But as many teenage magazines tell us, maybe you need to focus on you and becoming the best you you can be. If you're smart, keep working on your classes. If you're pretty, try getting dressed in something you like instead of what you think boys might like. Build your own confidence and you-ness, and then things will work out!

Dear Aunt Meg,
I went to muggle school before this and miss gym class. Do you think Hogwarts should have gym and care about our health?
- Active Girly


Dear Active Girly,
I also miss having more physical activity scheduled into our days. Not all of us can be on the quidditch team. I don't know if we can have a class, but there are Run Clubs, and I'm sure if you ask some other people in your house, you can come up with days to go play football or do workouts in the common room. Maybe start an unofficial club?

Dear Aunt Meg,
My twin is ignoring me a lot. How do you get your twin to not be so rude?
-Lonely


Dear Lonely,
I'm sure your twin is not ignoring you. Maybe if you weren't so obnoxious Maybe if you try having a talk with your twin, you'll be able to solve your problems. They might be feeling the same way!
