Most prominent personality trait: Tempest is rather distrustful, and she tries to hide any and all feelings from those she interacts with, as she never wants anything to be perceived as a sign of weakness.
Best traits: Tempest is resourceful in almost any situation. Due to her strong-will, she is willing to figure out the answer, whether that be so she can be right or the best, or because she actually wants to solve the problem. She has the tendencies of the eldest child, even though she is 2nd born, when it comes to some of her younger siblings. She can be protective, but that is dependent on the situation and who she would be protective of.
Worst traits: Tempest is probably the most stubborn person in her family, and she can be extremely unreliable and untrustworthy due to this trait. Her temper easily fluctuates, and it has been exasperated as she enters her teenage years.

Wand: Curved 15 Inch Unyielding Silver lime Wand with Doxy Wing Core
Wood: "This unusual and highly attractive wand wood was greatly in vogue in the nineteenth century. Demand outstripped supply, and unscrupulous wandmakers dyed substandard woods in an effort to fool purchasers into believing that they had purchased silver lime. The reasons for these wands’ desirability lay not only in their unusually handsome appearance, but also because they had a reputation for performing best for Seers and those skilled in Legilimency, mysterious arts both, which consequently gave the possessor of a silver lime wand considerable status. When demand was at its height, wandmaker Arturo Cephalopos claimed that the association between silver lime and clairvoyance was ‘a falsehood circulated by merchants like Gerbold Ollivander (my own grandfather), who have overstocked their workshops with silver lime and hope to shift their surplus’. But Cephalopos was a slipshod wandmaker and an ignoramus, and nobody, Seer or not, was surprised when he went out of business."(via Pottermore)
Core: "Doxy wing cores produce unstable wands. They are excellent for hexes and jinxes, and for those who plan on practicing dark arts." (via Ollivander's on HNZ)
Patronus: -
Boggart: -
Mirror of Erised: -

Goals: Tempest wants to prove that she is just as good if not better than her classmates and friends at everything. She will take any opportunity to prove that. She has been working hard on her studies to get better at magic and get her grades up.
Prior to entering school: Tempest was excited to enter school so she could be with her eldest brother Enzo, and she wanted to procure indepedence away from their parents. She figured that magic would come easily to her, and she assumed the professors would be astounded by how good she was as just a first year.
Reflection after graduating: -
H I S T O R Y
Tempest is the second child of Acedia and Fedya Devin. She was born in a small village in Russia at her grandparent's home. Her parents were unmarried, and due to familial pressure, they planned a wedding for 2048. Both Tempest and her older brother Lorenzo were in attendance, Tempest being pushed down the aisle in a little cart as the flower girl. At the reception, three murders occured (Afan's sister Irina, Acedia's brother Marco and his partner Simone). There were conflicting reports. Many at the wedding believed that Fedya had committed the murders while others thought they saw Fedya and Acedia almost be taken out. Russian officials figured it was best to relocate the family, as they did learn that Fedya was in dnager do to some family dealings. They were sent to New Zealand, where Fedya changed his name, and the family was given a new surname. Tempest and her older brother are the only two children to have had a different surname. Out of protection, the children grew up relatively secluded in a home along the coast, protected by enchantments.
It was determined by the Russian officials that it would probably be safe to send the children to Hogwarts. However, as things were coming to late, they realized that the family might be in danger. So as to not alert their enemies, Dia kept Lorenzo and Tempest in school and kept the smallest two children with her while Afan took their 3 other children and moved to a different country in hiding.

Unfortunately, there were sad feelings there that Tempest has been reconciling with. |
