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:
I'm a real wild one
And I like wild fun
1880
Draconia is born. She is a loud, fussy baby and isn't shy about letting the household know when she is displeased.
1880-1886
Draconias childhood is one of relative happiness and ease. She is hell on her mothers and nannys nerves, often running off her lessons in favour of climbing trees or running through puddles.
1888
Draconia is eight when she gets a new governess. It isn't long before she finds the woman disagreeable. She starts leaving frogs in the womans bed and its the womans last straw when she finds one of the girls many pet lizards chilling in her drinking pitcher.
1889
The next year sees Draconia under the instruction of a new governess. If Draconia makes use of the womans fear of chickens, that is Draconias business as she unleashes her rooster and pair of hens into the womans bedroom one morning. That is not enough to scare this one off though. What is enough is the poor woman finding Draconia's snake in her boots. Its a harmless grass snake but even so, she leaves whilst declaring she shall warn her colleagues about this place. Oh well.
1891-92
First Year
The world of governesses probably breathe a little easier when Draconia is off to Hogwarts that September. She is sorted into Hufflepuff.
1892-93
Second Year
Draconia wishes to try out for Quidditch but her parents both say no. She gets annoyingly on their case about it for the next year or so. Her mother stays steadfast. Her father wavers so she begins especially targeting him in her Personal Quidditch Campaign.
1893-94
Third Year
Draconia begins taking Care of Magical Creatures, Muggle Studies and Earth Magic as her electives. Her father also relents with the promise to never tell her mother he is allowing this. She gains the position of Seeker.
1894-95
Fourth Year
It is the summer of 1894 and Draconia went home only to discover she is being sent to the Pendergast School to attend Rosebuds. She is aghast but begrudgingly attends since 1) her mother does not give her much choice and 2) Draconia sees it as a sort of 'making up' for the fact she is secretly playing Quidditch.
Presently
Draconia is going into her fifth year but must first contend with once more being sent to PSYR to attend Rosebuds when she could be attending a summer internship at the Podmore Zoo or the Glen instead. Life is Unfair and no amount of pouting and tantruming gets her out of it. She would never tell anyone but it isn't all that bad (especially as a couple of her friends also attend) but she can't let anyone get their way over her so easily.

Personality:
Rules have always been something that were more of a light suggestion to Draconia than anything else. She is impulsive and reckless as well as stubborn and hot-headed. She has a streak of mischief a mile wide and can be quite the troublemaker. She is passionate about her beliefs and has an adoration for animals that runs deep. She is a chaotic wild child through and through.

Other:
  • Enjoys most things outdoorsy such as horseback riding, flying, leisure sports, swimming, sailing and most else that one can think of. She is willing to give most things a try at least once if it seems fun enough!
  • Has three pet chickens, five lizards, a pet grass snake as well as a cat.
  • She is fluent in both English and Welsh and has adequate knowledge of French.
