Appearance:
General | A slip of a girl with golden-blonde hair that, if unbound, would fall past her backside, Isolda stands precisely five feet tall with a willowy, almost androgynous build. She is left-handed with her wand, but everything else has been trained into right-handedness. Her eyes are bright green.


Expressions | Isolda is innately and deeply a very expressive person, wearing her heart on her sleeve. She is quick to smile when happy, and cries freely when upset.


Deportment | Having grown up in a middle class household, no matter how her father sought to raise their status, Isolda has a little more freedom to her than the average daughter of wealth. This hasn’t changed with the rise to upper class, and while she still holds herself with dignity, she isn’t rigid.


Fashion | Preferring muggle fashion to wizarding robes, Isolda prefers to dress in light, warm colors such as pale yellows, oranges, and pinks. Still, though, she must occasionally wear wizarding robes, especially while she’s still at school.


Accessories | Isolda tends to wear accessories she’s made herself, including chokers, gloves, stockings, and lace hair ribbons.


Scent | In addition to her standard rosewater bath, Isolda often wears a light perfume of apple blossom, cinnamon, and lavender.

History:
Shoulders back and stand up tall
Mar., 1874Isolda is born.
Nov., 1876Emma is born, the last of the Binns children. Isolda is nearly two, and does not remember much of this time.
1879Emma is the first one of the sisters to display magic, an early bird if you will. Izzy is jealous and tries repeatedly to force herself to do magic, but consistently fails, and in her disappointment, throws herself into her lessons, insisting on learning Italian as well as French.
1881Finally, Izzy’s first act of magic comes — when she falls out of the open nursery window and literally bounces back in. The nurse’s scream of fear, followed by relieved sobbing, attract the house’s attention, and Izzy is both praised and told never to go near open windows again if she can help it.
1883Older brother Albin goes to Hogwarts. Izzy finds herself eager for stories of the school, and finds herself wanting to go as soon as possible.
1884Mama gets sick. Thankfully, she survives the plague, but Izzy’s scared, of course.
July, 1885Izzy receives her Hogwarts acceptance letter! During her visit to Diagon Alley, in addition to getting her wand and everything necessary, she convinces the governess that she needs an owl.
And do not walk, but try to float
Sept., 1885Upon arriving at the school and sitting for the sorting, she spends nearly three minutes under the hat, arguing the merits of Ravenclaw and Slytherin alike. Eventually, she is declared for Slytherin, and settles in quite nicely.
1887As the school year begins, Izzy adds Earth Magic and Muggle Studies to her courseload.
Sept., 1888Emma joins her siblings at Hogwarts, and Izzy is pleased at her sorting into Ravenclaw. Not quite perfectly delighted, but pleased nonetheless.
1890Following her OWLs, Isolda decides to take History of Magic, Muggle Studies, Potions, and Transfiguration as her NEWT level courses. Additionally, Father goes off to America. Izzy is uncertain how she feels about this, precisely, but knows it’s not a happy feeling. Not that she’s ever been particularly close to her father.
1892It’s a new year, and it’s time for Izzy to prepare for her debut. That is, if she doesn’t decide to rebel against her father’s wishes and try to find employment...heaven knows her mother would approve of that. And Father isn’t exactly here at the moment to speak against the idea.
I feel a little foolish, am I floating?

Abilities & Skills

  • In addition to her native English, Isolda is fluent in both French and Italian.
  • She plays piano and violin, and is learning the harp.
  • Her hobbies include reading, knitting (especially lace), and archery.
Trivia

  • Amortentia bears the scent of brandy, bergamot, and apple.
  • When faced with a boggart, it takes the form of her parents, informing her that they’ve already chosen someone for her to marry. She fears, quite plainly, not marrying for love. She also has a healthy fear of heights, but it’s difficult for a boggart to represent that.
  • She has a female barn owl named Francine.
