Wood: Beech Length: 14 1/4 inches Echantment: Essence of Crystallized Dragon Fire
Full Name: Seraina Valkana (Her name means tranquillity and peacefulness and has italian origins. Her surname is a typical greek one, common in Sparta)


Date of Birth: 18th December 2011


Current Age: 14, she'll become 15 in a few weeks.


Basic Appearance: Quite tall, skinny, nice long legs, light brown wavy hair with some blonde highlights, chocolate-brown eyes.


Personality: Seraina could be described with one word as an optimist. Although grown up in an orphanage she's really thankful for the love she received from the ladies of the institute. She became a caring person with a lovely and kind attitude. Really smart and resourcefull, maybe because she's a bookworm and seeks always for knowledge for anything new she faces in her life. She's shy but eventually she feels comfortable and reveals her bubbly, warm side. She might be a humble and quiet person at first look but if she has to, she will stand for herself, becoming from a cutty little kitten to a wild alleycat. As a perfectionist she doesn't know what means giving up. She's a fighter in life, determined to live every moment in the way she wants.


Family: She grew up in an orphanage in Sparta, Greece. She doesn't know anything about her family. However, there is a man with the name Silas, whom according to him, is her current guardian. He only comes in touch with Seraina with owl mails. He was the one that informed her about her heritage, her special gift, followed by a letter, inviting her in a magical school. Any questions asked about who is he, what happened to her family and how she ended up in an orphanage, were avoided in his letters. He insisted, saying that she'll learn whatever she wants soon but first she had to follow his instructions. She did so and attended at the Olympian House of Witchcraft Mastery. Everything she needed from financial support to permissions for school staff, were provided from her guardian. She got used to his unusual presence and started following blindly his instructions and advices, as she was grateful for the new word she was introduced. She was feeling and hoping that the mysterious man was the first piece of her past's puzzle. After her fourth year, her guardian informed her that her education was going to be continued abroad, in New Zealand. Seraina was really wondering at the beginning about this sudden change in her life. Her introduction in magical world was quite of a sudden too but go abroad was something unexpected. She agreed to follow her guardian's demand, who seemed that had communicated with her new school, found her transportation and a place to stay until the beggining of the new semester. As a smart person, Seraina realised that her guardian was preparing her for their first, in person meet. She currently believes that her mysterious guardian resides in New Zealand.


Pets: She has a short-haired black cat named Midnight with dazzling emerald eyes. She doesn't have an owl but when her guardian sends her mails, she receives them from a barn owl with coal-black eyes. She's calling her Palebeack although it's not propably her real name.


Area of Residence: Currently in Auckland, New Zealand.


Blood Status: She has no idea about her blood status. She believes that propably at least one of her parents was a wizard/witch. Her guardian hasn't said a word about it but she knows that he is a wizard.


Heritage: Propably Greek/Italian from her name and surname.


Special Abilities: Nothing that she knows of.


Interests or Hobbies: Seraina loves reading, books are like a portal to another world for her. Finds poetry and philosophy interesting. She's keen on fashion but not overexcited. She loves creativity and finds different ways to express that need by writing, drawing and crafting. Loves so much ice-skating that she even created a spell that conjures ice blades attached under the user's shoes. She likes flying as it makes her feel free and escapes from all her troubles.
She seems interested in wand-crafting as well in healing and defensive magic. Traveling, is her life dream. She wants to travel all around the world and learn about the magic used in different cultures. She have studied about greek magic like defixiones (curse tablets), egyptian magic like protection and defense circles and now she will be able to study the maori magic of omens.


Additional Skills: Photographical memory and the ability to make other people smile.


Strengths: Her brains and her great character.


Weaknesses: Not admitting her weaknesses.


Describe your character in three words: Caring, brilliant, vivid.


Favourite place to be: Somewhere where she could learn and see new things. But next to the warmth of a fireplace with companions a good book and a hot cup of coffee in a raining day would also do.


Friends: She used to have friends both from her last school and from the orphanage. She tries to still keep contact with them. She hopes though to make new friends.


Hogwarts House: Her personality would do for a ravenclaw. She couldn even be a hufflepuff. Not a slytherin though.


Hogwarts Hopes and Ambitions: She would like to do well in all her subjects and why not, one day become a prefect.


Best school subjects: She likes Defence Against the Dark Arts a lot but she likes all the subjects. In her last school she really enjoyed the Mythology lesson.


Worst school subjects: Not exactly worst but she is not really enthusiastic about muggle studies as she lived part of her life in the muggle world and already knows this kind of knowledge.



Graduation: She saves money to have a huge journey around the world after her graduation.


Current Job: Student


Plans for your future: She has three or so years to think of it but a healer would be a suitable job for her as well as a DADA professor. She is even imagining herself, running her own wand shop, selling her own crafted masterpiecies.


Your Patronus: A silver heron.


Your Patronus memory: The love she received in the orphanage.


Your Boggart: A hexed walking skeleton.


Your Animagus: She would like to become an animagi. It would be a ferret.


Mirror of Erised: She would propably either see her parents or her mysterious guardian.
 
Hey there :)

Does she have any scars?
How does she feel about going to New Zealand and leaving the orphanage behind?
How did she react when she first discovered she knew magic?
Did the other orphans/ ladies notice there was something different about her?
Is she allergic to anything?
Does she want to meet her family one day?
 
Hello :D

My answers to your questions:

1. Not really. She loves healing magic so whenever she might have a wound or something, she would use either a healing spell or a potion to treat it and prevent scars.

2. She left the orphanage to attend to a magical school in Greece. She never forgot the love and care she received back there and she's grateful about that. Now leaving for New Zealand she will miss them all but she's excited as more opportunities for her will be available and she will be able to study about Maori magic for which has read alot.

3. Seraina was always feeling that there is a part of herself that she hadn't discovered. The knowledge she was getting before was not enough. For her something was missing. The news of her being a witch make her find that part of herself that she felt it was missing. She felt that all of this was so sudden and strange but at the same time so familiar.

4. The ladies of the orphanage had noticed that Seraina was a unique child. She was very intelligent, peaceful and whenever there were fights between other orphans, Seraina was able in a mysterious way to calm them down. Other orphans had noticed that sometimes Seraina was involved in strange incidents such making things appearing in thin air or little animals like bird and squirrels, not being afraid of her.

5. She's allergic to cinnamon.

6. She's is used to not have parents but she would like to meet them and learn why they had to abandon her. She mostly wants to know whom is her guardian. She believes he might knows something about her parents or even be her father or a relative of her.
