January 4, 1881-Hazel's first instances of involuntary magic happens with her accidentally breaking a window after she was upset about working in the rain.
March 22, 1881-Hazel opens letter from her father. Letter explains that he is a wizard and that he likely was responsible for Hazel being a witch. Letter did not provide much else. This became the seed of active resentment towards her father and her magical self.
February 8, 1881-Hazel's mother accidentally burns herself severely, sidelining her to mostly indoor work. Hazel started taking a more active role on the farm in response.
October 11, 1881-Hazel's cousin returns from First Boer War, loosing half a arm in the process. Dismissed from the army and given a pension from the crown.

September 1, 1884-Hazel starts her first year at Hogwarts. Mostly marked by general distrust to those around her and the staff at the school. Despite this, Hazel achieved good enough marks that she was able to attend another year at the school using a partial scholarship and the gold the family could spare.
September 1, 1885-Hazel starts her second year at Hogwarts. Similar to her first year, she achieves well enough marks to afford a third year at the school. Her view of her own magical abilities and her general self-hatred towards being magic leads to social isolation.

September 1 to December 1, 1887-Hazel starts her fourth year at Hogwarts. A notable slip in academics occurred during this year. Hazel started experiencing her first feelings of attraction towards anyone. Notably, it was the same gender. This caused a depression spiral as Hazel believed something was wrong with her. This resulted in some self-destructive behavior such as drinking, skipping class and general delinquency. Leads to disciplinary actions.

March 9, 1890-Due to some financial issues due to a illness going through Hazel's herd, Hazel looked for alternatives to make some extra money. This eventually lead her down to the prostitute route. Through her mother's former work in London, Hazel's mother became friends with a prostitute that just happened to be a witch. It was through her that Hazel's family learned about Hogsmead and Hazel specifically of the underground brothel in Hogsmead (The Painted Lady). Hazel only takes limited clients, however, preferring a more personal connection with her clients. Due to her own sexual desires, Hazel preferred taking any female client that would be available.

Other: Any other information you want to include.
Sample Roleplay Post:
Ding Ding Ding. The distinct clatter of cowbells rang through the air as a small flock of highland cows wandered through the the less crowded parts of Hogsmead. They were being moved from one field to another. Cows weren't a welcome sight for everyone as they meant the chance of stepping on animal feces increased exponential. Hazel, didn't care much about that though. It was her job to drive them and most of the people that lived in this town didn't understand they next thing that went into farming. Humming a small tune of some classical piece she heard a couple weeks ago, Hazel lead the cows through the streets, occasionally greeting a acquaintance or someone who buys some of the limit wares her family offers in Hogmead.

Normally, Hazel wouldn't take the route she was taking but a recent rainstorm had put a damper on those plans. She hated walking through the town during the day. It reminded her constantly of what she was. Something she could never change about herself. Sighing, she tapped her stick a little, making the cows pick up the pace a little. There's a reason usually she hated doing selling in this place. Good thing Hogsmead wasn't the main clientele for the farm. At least at night, she can sometimes pretend her magic doesn't exist. Ding Ding Ding the bells went as Hazel slowly made her way out of town, back towards her home. There was more work to do for the day but the part she dreaded most would finally be done.
