Appearance:

General | Standing an all too average five feet, three and a half inches tall, Gladys doesn't have much to set her apart. Possessed of light blonde hair, wide blue-green eyes, and a fair face, however, she is not unattractive by any stretch of the imagination. Her skin is light and clear, wholly free of either blemish or freckle.

Expressions | Like many of her station, Gladys has learned over the years to hide her true opinions and emotions. As such, her expressions are tightly controlled much of the time, except when extreme emotion strikes.

Deportment | Gladys walks with a purposeful gait and carries herself with a sense of self-importance she doesn't genuinely feel, a behavior that is fully trained; she rarely, if ever, lets herself be genuine.

Fashion | For the most part, Gladys doesn't really care much about fashion, only bothering to follow the latest trends at her mother's insistence. Her favorite color group is blue, finding it brings out the best in her eyes. Mother also insists they follow muggle fashion.

Accessories | There isn't a single unifying accessory to her entire wardrobe; however, in her muggle day clothes, Gladys is never seen without her late grandfather's favorite pocket watch.

Scent | A delicate perfume of rose and apple blossom.

Face Claim | Angourie Rice

History:

in my dreams, i'll be thumbelina drifting away down the stream sailing on a fallen leaf
1876	The firstborn child of Deryn and Alys Baughan is a welcome sight in mid-November of their first year of marriage, even if she is a girl. Her father, a muggleborn, has higher expectations for her than his wife, who was raised a witch. They name her Gladys Elena.
1877	The Baughan family shelters in their country home, rarely interacting with their muggle neighbors, during the turmoil of the year. Little Gladys knows nothing.
1879	Deryn gets his dearest wish and, when Gladys is only two, Alys gives birth to her first brother, Edwyn. As a toddling babe, Gladys knows not what this means for her.
1881	Gladys's first little sister, Seren, is born.
1883	Over Christmas, Gladys finally begins to understand that being the firstborn means little if you're not also the firstborn son; she throws a massive tantrum that results in her first act of magic, which, unfortunately, involves turning her brother Edwyn's hair bright, glowing blue.
1884	Another baby sister is born, named Tesni.
1886	The fifth and final of Gladys's generation of the Baughan household, Owain, is born.
1888	Gladys's acceptance letter to Hogwarts arrives, and she is taken shopping for her school supplies. It's her first time in London, and she thoroughly enjoys it. She convinces her mother to purchase her a female barn own, justifying the purchase by explaining the owl's presence would motivate her to write home more often.
i will be the flower queen it's a wondrous dream but tomorrow
1888-90 First Years	When Gladys arrives in the hallowed halls of Hogwarts, she is promptly sorted into loyal Hufflepuff — her mother's house, in her day at the school. Gladys is proud to carry that legacy. She quickly takes to her lessons, and works to build friendships with her peers, both in Hufflepuff and beyond.
1890-93 OWL Years	At her mother's suggestion, Gladys takes the highly impractical Divination — a class in which she does not thrive. In fact, being in Divination initially causes her other grades to suffer, as she spends excess time focused on the work for that class. By the time her fifth year rolls around, Gladys has decided to give up on the subject and only do the bare minimum, to give herself a chance at her other classes.
1893-95 NEWT Years	Somehow, Gladys manages to net an Outstanding in her Charms and Transfiguration classes; she opts to take Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, and Transfiguration for her final two years. She is eager to fulfill her duty and destiny and become a bride, mother, and socialite, but deep inside, she fears her future. Will she actually be happy?
i'll be taken away high up in the tree how frightened i will be when tomorrow i'll be high up in the tree
