"I get two comments a lot. The first is, "Wow, you're a girl?", and the second is, "How come you're ginger when your
brothers aren't?". Like, do they think I don't get asked that every day? Yeah, I'm a girl. Girls can be called Ray, too. And I'm
ginger because my parents carry the genes and I guess I just lost the genetic lottery."

"I admit, I do like to be in charge. But in a house full of boys, it's the best way to get things done. Someone has to keep
things in order, and my Mom relies on me to be that person. If that makes me bossy, then whatever. I don't really care what anyone
thinks. I'm a hard worker, but I snap at people quite easily when they irritate me. Which is lot. Yeah, I'm talking about you,
brothers. Oh, and I hate it when I'm treated like I'm so much younger than Reuben and Rudolf. They're only a year older, but they
make out I can't do anything for myself. It's seriously infuriating."
- Raylee, aged 10, describing her personality.


"Raylee is... full of life. I think she tends to believe she can face everything by herself, which is extremely courageous, but also
a little foolhardy at times. Once she has her sights set on something, she'll never stop fighting for it, but she's hesitant about
making big decisions. Perhaps it scares her. I can't really tell - she doesn't talk to me about her feelings. Other than that, she
often acts on impulse, striving for what she wants right now rather than weighing up her options.
Raylee's a lovely girl, but she does find it difficult to make friends. Her personality can be a little... overpowering. Especially
to those who haven't had a chance to get to know her better. But to those she cares deeply about, I've never known such a
fiercely loyal and dependable girl. The needs of others seem to take priority to her, even when attending to them puts her own
aside. Fortunately, she knows how to say "no" when asked to do something she's uncomfortable with. I'm proud of her for that.
If there was one thing Raylee could work to improve, it would be her attitude. She's very defensive when faced with situations
that might reveal sensitive emotions. This means that whenever she's hurt, scared, or otherwise, she immediately adopts a
sarcastic, snappy attitude and hides her real feelings behind the bravado."
- Thalia (Mother), aged 42, describing her personality.


"Raylee haaates it when I call her my little sister. Or when I call her Raylee. Or basically when I go anywhere near her. But
that's OK because we don't let her into the boys' play fort. She nags everyone to do their chores, just like Mom. Although to be
honest, she's really good fun when she plays our games with us. She's super duper creative and doesn't mind getting all muddy.
Not like most girls. Actually, she's pretty cool to hang out with. But don't tell her I said that."
- Reuben (Brother), aged 12, describing her personality.</SIZE></FONT>

[FAVOURITE COLOUR] Blue
[WHY?] It's the colour of denim and water, both of which are things she likes. It's also not too girly, and a pleasant colour to look at.

[FAVOURITE FOOD] Macaroni Cheese

[FAVOURITE DRINK] Coffee

[FAVOURITE SEASON] Summer
[WHY?] The days are longer, and working on the farm on early summer mornings can actually be enjoyable.

[FAVOURITE WEATHER] Cool and sunny, or light rain
[WHY?] Though Raylee likes the summer, she does not like getting hot and sweaty the moment she steps outside. She also loves the
refreshing smell of rain on grass and concrete.

[FAVOURITE TIME] Early Afternoon
[WHY?] This tends to be the time Raylee finishes her chores (until the evening), so it's the best time of day for playing games and having fun.

[FAVOURITE ANIMAL] Horse
[WHY?] Whilst horses are a lot of work to look after, they're the one animal Raylee gets something back from. She has been able to ride horses
since she could walk.</SIZE></FONT>

Y o u  s h o t  a n d  l e a v i n g  m e  r a w ...​

[WORST COLOUR] Red
[WHY?] It's much too harsh, and also the colour of blood.

[WORST FOOD] Oatmeal

[WORST DRINK] Water

[WORST SEASON] Winter
[WHY?] The days are short, the ground is frozen, the harvests are bad, and doing chores in the ice and snow is awful.

[WORST WEATHER] Snow
[WHY?] See above.

[WORST TIME] Evening
[WHY?] Though Raylee does not mind working hard, having chores to do in the evening when she's already tired makes her cranky.

[WORST ANIMAL] Snake
[WHY?] Snakes tend to hide in the long grass, which makes farm work a little scary sometimes.

Death of a family member​	Snakes​	Being left out​	Growing old​	Spiders​

[th colspan="5"]5 Biggest Fears[/th]

[DEATH OF A FAMILY MEMBER]
[WHY?] Raylee has never lost anyone particularly close to her, but, much as she would deny it, she does depend on her family for
emotional support. If one of her parents or brothers passed away, it would completely break not only Raylee, but also her entire
family.

[SNAKES]
[WHY?] Working on a farm means that Raylee encounters many snakes, and though she herself has not been bitten, she has
watched her father get bitten by one. As such, she is phobic of snakes, and will avoid walking in long grass or heavy undergrowth
where possible.

[BEING LEFT OUT]
[WHY?] Raylee thrives on company. She works best in a group, and is happiest when in charge of it. If she were to be shunned from
social situations by her peers, she would be completely distraught.

[GROWING OLD]
[WHY?] Although she isn't yet sure of what she wishes to do with her life, Raylee fears that she will not have enough time to get it
done before she gets old.

[SPIDERS]
[WHY?] The barn Raylee and her family live in is inhabited by quite a few different spiders. She's not phobic of them as such, but will
refuse to enter a room with one in until it has been disposed of because they creep her out.

To succeed​	To find herself​	To learn magic​	To make friends​	To find love​

[th colspan="5"]5 Strongest Desires[/th]

[TO SUCCEED]
[WHY?] Even though she doesn't yet know what she wants to be successful at, it is one of Ray's biggest desires to be good at what
she chooses to do. She cannot give something half of her effort - if she doesn't consider herself a success, she will improve what she's
doing until she does.

[TO FIND HERSELF]
[WHY?] This goes hand in hand with success. Raylee would like to know her place in the world, and hopes to discover that once she
attends Hogwarts New Zealand.

[TO LEARN MAGIC]
[WHY?] Raylee hopes that in learning magic, she will come to discover her true passion. It's also exciting, and she is envious that
her older brothers get to start learning magic before her.

[TO MAKE FRIENDS]
[WHY?] Since she is currently home educated, Raylee only has her family to call her friends. As a girl who thrives on company, she is
eager to make her first friends at Hogwarts.

[TO FIND LOVE]
[WHY?] Finding love is a long term desire. It could be debated that this is actually a desire to be loved, or even a fear of not being
loved. </COLOR></COLOR></COLOR></COLOR></COLOR>
