How She Feels About Her Name:
When her mother found out that she was going to have a girl, she knew that she wanted to her daughter to grow up to be a beautiful and strong woman so she picked a name that would reflect that. She named her Isabel so that her daughter would always remember God's blessings and to always seek out joy. She decided on the Valeria to reminder her that true strength comes from within and that some things in life are worth fighting for.

Previous Areas of Residence: Her family established Puerto Rico as their home base while they traveled across Central and South America and the Caribbean as health advocates. Currently she is a wanderer. Because her family was always moving, she was home schooled for her entire magical education. Once she took all the necessary exams and received her graduation certificate she decided that she wanted to bag pack across the magical world and hopefully decides what she wants to do with her life somewhere along the road.

Although she can seem a bit flighty, she is an engaging friend and a good communicator. She very reactive to the environment she is in, so she can often appear high strung and temperamental. Although she is perceptive, she can be very superficial in her conclusions which can lead to her misjudging people and their motives.

Views on Blood Status: Isabel is complete indifferent toward blood statuses. She evaluates people on their abilities and their character rather than their family background, although she does hold a slight prejudice against werewolves.

Special Abilities: None
Wand
Length:14 inch
~ A little on the longer side of things, wands of this length are slightly more uncommon and not easily forgotten by others.
Style: Curly
~ Great care was taken in crafting this wand's wood to spiral to its point, giving it a beautiful aesthetic quality.
Wood: Sycamore
~ Known to burst into flames if used too often for boring or mundane tasks, Sycamore wands are suited to adventure and excitement.
Core: Unicorn Hair
~ The animal is known for its healing qualities and unbridled beauty, so it is no surprise that wands with unicorn hair are particularly successful at performing healing spells. Wands with this core bond with their first caster, making wands with this core not good as hand-me-downs. These wands are useful with charms and transfigurations.
Flexibility: Rigid
~ A difficult wand to control and sometimes broken under little force, but powerful in a fight.
Education: Homeschooled for her entire wizarding school career. She took her NEWT exams in 2032 and was granted her diploma.
~ Best Classes: Charms, Potions, and Herbology
~ Worst Classes: Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts
Current Career: Unemployed (currently trial shifting at the Leaky Cauldron)
~ As of now her future is undetermined. She hasnt really given much thought to what she would like pursue as career.
Plans for your future: Isabel wants to eventually settle down, stay in one place though, and put down some roots somewhere, but balancing that with her need for excitement will be tough. Here rough draft of an immediate plan looks a little something like this. Step 1. Find a job. Step 2. Find a place to stay. Step 3. Find some friends. Step 4. Find a man. Step 5. Somehow become a grown up.
