Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

History
Childhood
1872 | Chrysanta Princess Ruskin is born, less than a year after Acacia is born. She has an iffy first few months but manages to stubbornly survive.

1874 | Orinda is born. The two-year-old doesn't care for the crying baby.

1876 | Dunstan is born, and after a few months she wakes and notices something very different: her mother wasn't there and her father was acting weird.

1877 | Muggles find out about the magical community, forcing the Ruskins to relocate to Hogsmeade

1881 | The nine-year-old is upset when Orinda starts ignoring her and Acacia's advice. They were older, so they knew more, so she should listen to them when they suggested something.

1882 | Acacia starts her Hogwarts career and is sorted into Ravenclaw. Crystal is slightly jealous her older sister.
Hogwarts
1883 | Crystal is off finally off to Hogwarts and is surprisingly sorted into Slytherin.

November, 1883 | Crystal and Sweetie becomes actual friends, not just housemates.

Summer, 1886 | Crystal hears of Lisa being in Hogsmeade, and she begins wondering why the vamp. could’ve just abandoned their family.

Fall, 1886 | On one of the first Hogsmeade trips, Crystal sneaks away and meets her mother. She accuses Lisa of abandoning them and lets her know that she and Acacia saw the fight.

Winter, 1886 | She and Acacia fight because the Ravenclaw decided to send a letter to their father and confesses that she and Crystal saw the fight.

Spring, 1887 | HALF BREEDS CAN NOT RETURN TO HOGWARTS. Crystal is slightly relieved that she doesn’t have to return to school, but she is pissed that her baby brother won’t be going in the fall.
The Ban

Summer, 1887 | With the death of her brother (via flying tiger), Crystal falls into a depression and wishes with everything she has that it had been her whom had died instead of Dunstan.

Historical Change

July 9, 1887 | ... the day didn't end with Dunstan's death. The siblings took a different turn, ending up in a different part of the chaos. They never encountered a flying tiger.

July 11, 1887 | the siblings are found, rescued, and returned to their family.

Fall, 1887 | Crystal wishes she could have been there for Sweetie when all her friends turned on her.

Winter, 1887 | Crystal is furious that the Halfbreeds can return to Hogwarts but her brother still wouldn’t get his chance to be sorted. nevermind that he wouldn’t’ve been able to anyway

The Return

January, 1888 | Crystal returns to Hogwarts, slightly salty that whatever friends she had are now a year ahead of her.

August, 1888 | An annoying street cat won't leave her alone, she makes the mistake of feeding it. It refuses to leave her alone, so she names it "Lisa". She thinks it's quiet funny, naming it after the mother who abandoned her and then died.

December, 1888 | Crystal starts learning how to paint, per her request, from Acacia.

July 31, 1889 | Crystal receives her OWL grades and is ... disappointed in herself. Especially in failing Charms - the one class she should've done well in, since that's the class her grandfather taught. She decides to ask for an exception in Ancient Runes. She decides to continue on in History of Magic, Defense Against the Dark, Transfiguration, and hopefully Ancient Studies.

August, 1889 | To her surprise, she is accepted into the Ancient Runes NEWT class.

September, 1889 | Crystal starts trying to teach herself how to write songs. She joins the Charms club. Her father sends an announcement that he's courting a woman they haven't met yet. Her father met Mrs. Sherington over the summer. To show how much she's matured, she does not set the letter on fire.

December, 1889 | Over winter break, they meet Mrs. Sherington and her children. Acacia and Mr. Somersby Fudge are victims of a Portkey mishap and end up in France.

February 28, 1890 | Crystal is shocked to see her little brother at breakfast, acting like he'd never died and had been at Hogwarts the last two years. She remembers his death, remembers how depressed she had been. She remembers being upset that he'd never have a chance to be sorted.

June 24, 1890 | Her father married Sophie Sherington. She becomes a big - step, technically - sister to Malachai, Ariel, and Gazardiel.
Personality
ESTP
Social Butterfly in Denial | Crystal loves going to social events, she just doesn't act like she does. She prefers to be Miss Grumpy Pants and complain the whole time in a mumble 90% of the time.

Being of Habbit | If she doesn't understand something, she falls back on what has happened to her or what she's seen happen. She thinks about trying something new, but actually won't do it.

Debatable | She loves having a good argument just for fun even if the other person thinks she's dead serious.

Going with the flow | Whatever happens, happens. For the most part. Crystal is usually able to take blows as they come, when it comes to herself and her own well-being.

Protective | Crystal don’t take shit from no one when it comes to her family or her friends.
