Fairy, the cat
Appearance:
Fair hair and pale, she quite easily fits the description on an English Rose. Blessed with long blonde hair - hair that has darkened over the years into a honey blonde rather than hay, but still maintained that sun-kissed tint that marks her a 'blonde'. Skin even paler without the slightest freckle as she takes pride in her habits and pretty much refuses to let the sun touch her skin, not wanting it to darken in the slights, fearing it might mark her as someone who has to work. Smaller, green eyes set off the look, though depending on the light they can appear from a blue-grey to a hazel sort of color. Tall in stature, she stands at nearly five foot four, though she quite dislikes her height. A slender frame finishes the look and her overall proportions favor her to posses long legs and arms
.
History:
1873 |Two children are born to Matthew and Evelyn, twins, a boy, Timothy, and a girl, Demelza with the Melza being born slightly before. Even from the start, the girl is loud and demands attention.

1875 | Two years later, Demelza gains another brother who is named Ethan, though, at two, she doesn't really care much about him, rather than the fact her parents no longer pay as much attention to her and her twin - the only one she doesn't yet mind sharing the spotlight with.

1878 | At five, Melza shows her first signs of magic. While it should be a pleasant even, she is instead in a fair bit of trouble as she was caught in the act of almost injuring her youngest brother with a toy after her mother leaves her to check on him - thankfully the wooden toy was stopped in time.

1879 | When her grandfather's, Gaylord's body is found, murdered, the family moves to Bartonburg.

1880 | Her youngest brother is born, and seven-year-old Demelza is only slightly more rational about Edward than she was Ethan and turns her time towards preening for the ever thinning attention.

1882 | The family moves to Irvingly, something she isn't too thrilled about while her eldest cousin, of those in contact, is off to school.

1884 | Her mother miscarries and while Evelyn is upset, Demelza is quite okay with the fact. That is one less sibling to steal away the attention and her father is home more often! She also starts school this year, meaning a bit of the attention is placed back on her. Ruby and Topaz are also starting Hogwarts with her and are sorted into Gryffindor and Ravenclaw respectively. She, herself, is sorted into Slytherin which suits her well. Also, her uncle becomes Minister of Magic.

1886 - 1887 | During her third year, Demelza adds on two electives, Divinations and Earth Magic. Near the end of the year, her uncle starts to court Miss Ada Lovegood and what should be a happy occasion is ruined by a Witch Weekly article that subgust Miss Lovegood used a love potion to gain her uncle's attention. Melza is slightly salty that she found out through Witch Weekly rather than being told but hey whatever.

Summer of  1887 | When Ada ditches her uncle at the altar, she's actually quite conflicted. She thinks Ada is crazy for having been willing to marry down but the clock was ticking for her. But also it was good pay back for not being told. But also it's her uncle and people talk.

Things take an unexpected turn when at the end of the summer before her fourth year, Ruby and Topaz have a slumber party at her house. Topaz leaves early from and decides to walk home alone at night. Her cousin is attacked and Melza is once again left out of the loop. She finds out her cousin is now a werewolf from the Daily Prophet and soon after her uncle steps down from minister.

1887 - 1888 | While nothing exciting actually happens, there is a lot of talk and she distances herself from the middle class Urquarts afraid that the connection might hurt her reputation.

Summer of 1888 | She comes home from school for summer and has a few days break before a fog comes  that cuts off magic. While she can't technically use magic she like being around it and is not pleased to live like a muggle and thinks the ministry should get off their butts.
Personality:
social - temperamental - bubbly - superficial - finicky - petty - ambitious - dedicated -charismatic - flexible - quick thinker - witty
Other:
Amortentia: Her amortenia would smell of silks, flowered perfumes, along with a few scents that remind her of home that would likely surprises anyone who ask namely earl grey tea and a faint undescribable scent that belongs to her twin brother as he is the only person who she thinks has ever truly accepted her as she is and hasn't tired to change her - one of the reasons she doesn't mind sharing attention with him.

Boggart:Herself, dressed in rags and alone. The alone part scares her far more, not that she would ever admit it. Most people likely wouldn't even think it is beyond her in rags and working. But truly she fears being alone. She likes security. Knowing exactly where and with who she belongs and takes loyalty - on the rare occurrences she gives it out - very seriously and once broken, it would be near impossible to earn back.

Patronus: Unknown. She likely will never summon a patronus until later in life if she ever finds herself more confident in herself and where she is.
