A Little Deeper
Personality:
Marietta is very chipper and silly most of the time. She gets this trait from both her parents. They gave her a happy life up until the divorce. That didn't change her attitude though. She still loves both her parents no matter what, divorced, muggle, witch, whatever. She also has the main Hufflepuff traits, loyalty and Honesty. Her mother always taught her honesty is the best policy. Her loyalty will remain unhindered to friend and House. She can end up having a bit of a rebel quality as well. When there's a chance to break the rules she will go for it. Not all the time, though.

Marietta's greatest fear: The Dark
Why?: Once, when she was eight. She was being put to bed during a thunder storm. Marietta usually had her night light on, but when the power went out, everything turned completely dark. Marietta didn't want to get out of bed or wake up her mom, so she just lied there. Eyes open, but unable to see. She would here noises, footsteps in her room. Growling. She was completely terrified, but she couldn't scream. All night she lied still in her bed. When the Sun came up and light flooded her room, there was nothing there, but the open window. She shot up out of bed and bolted for the kitchen for breakfast.
To this day, she still doesn't know what was in her room and she never told anyone. Every night she slept with some sort of light on. Just enough to see what might come out of the dark.
Marietta is most at ease when: She's in bed
Most ill at ease when: In darkness
Enraged when: Someone's being unfair or cruel
Life philosophy: Even the smallest amount of kindness can help.
If granted one wish, it would be: She's not very sure on wishes. She doesn't want to be selfish, and there far too many problems in the world that she would need to fix.
Marietta's soft spot: She always has a soft spot for rude people with their own soft spots.
Marietta's darkest secret: The thing that was in her room
Does anyone else know?: Nope
History:
Marietta was born September 9, 2025 in Bartonport on the Irish island of Arranmore. As a baby she was always giggly and hardly ever cried. Her grandfather had to ask if he had to pinch her to have her even shed a tear. It wasn't until she was two that her little sister, Niamh, was born. They were closer than any two sisters could ever be, with the occasional fights of course. Her family life was pretty good, but it wasn't soon after her and Niamh would be put to bed, her parents would start shouting at each other. Her mother filed for a divorce when she learned that her dad was cheating on her. She was given custody of their children, and left the country.
They found a home in New Zealand and Jolana even started dating again. A guy she was friends with back at Hogwarts. She also decided to open up the wizarding world to her two daughters as well. Gradually introducing the wonders of magic and creatures they've only read about in fairytales. Their father did not allow magic talk when they lived with him. The reason was that his sister was a witch, and adored by their parents. Leaving him to believe he was their least favourite. So he despised magic. Jolana had to respect the rule and leave their children ignorant of their heritage.
Still trying to figure things out as a ten-year-old, Marietta soon came upon a letter in the mail addressed to her. It seemed like nothing at first, but when she opened it she ran instantly to her mother screaming. Reading it aloud had the whole family jumping up and down.
