Pisces Hufflepuff:
Community service? Of course, what else is magic for? Hufflepuff Pisceans live to please. They literally feel pain when other people feel pain, so often wind up doing intensive study of healing magics. Potions come naturally, too, for Pisces is a water sign, and all wizards born under water signs have some talent at potions. The temptation to make love potions and mood altering substances is very great, for Pisces is in love with love, and almost as much in love with easy escapes into altered states of consciousness. Hufflepuff Pisceans have somewhat less of a work ethic than average, but will apply themselves to their studies in the hopes that what they learn will benefit humanity somehow. They are followers, not leaders, but they do make good teachers, for they are very patient and have a gift for making subjects seem interesting to learn.

Personality type ISFJ: The Defender:
ISFJs are true altruists, meeting kindness with kindness-in-excess and engaging the work and people they believe in with enthusiasm and generosity.
The challenge for ISFJs is ensuring that what they do is noticed. They have a tendency to underplay their accomplishments, and while their kindness is often respected, more cynical and selfish people are likely to take advantage of ISFJs' dedication and humbleness by pushing work onto them and then taking the credit. ISFJs need to know when to say no and stand up for themselves if they are to maintain their confidence and enthusiasm.
Naturally social, an odd quality for Introverts, ISFJs utilize excellent memories not to retain data and trivia, but to remember people, and details about their lives. When it comes to gift-giving, ISFJs have no equal, using their imagination and natural sensitivity to express their generosity in ways that touch the hearts of their recipients. While this is certainly true of their coworkers, whom people with the ISFJ personality type often consider their personal friends, it is in family that their expressions of affection fully bloom.
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
Hair: Brunette hair, often found curly and sits at medium length.
Eyes: Big brown eyes with long eyelashes.
Height: Smaller than average.
Weight: Thinner than average.
Style: Fashionable yet comfortable.
"The best thing to hold onto in life is each other."

History: Unbeknownst to Bryony, she is part of an adopted family. She does not know her birth family and it will be a while before Bryony knows the truth of her true family. Her adopted family have decided to keep her in the dark for now as it is easier than to tell the truth. Bryony has never questioned her birth or her early upbringing which has resulted in her adoptive family being able to create stories about her early life and they have never had to tell her the truth.
Bryony has spent all of her life in Melbourne, Australia and has had a reasonably happy childhood there. She has no siblings and therefore, has grown up as an only child which has resulted her in being quite introverted and quiet in social situations.
Family:
 Hannah Woods, Mother, 35, Muggle, Architect. |  Freddie Woods, Father, 40, Muggle, Local Politician. |
