Appearance:

Yseult is a young woman of average height with blue-green eyes and red hair. Her clothing is often mended and rarely the latest fashion, instead usually made of rougher fabrics and things that were cast away by the more wealthy members of society and tailored by Yseult or her mother to fit properly. She is rather slim, almost in an unhealthy way as she tends to give up meals for her younger siblings. When she has time, she likes to put some extra effort into her hair, making it resemble the latest styles. Her wand hand is her right hand.

History:

1873
Birth Yseult is born to Caoimhe and Lucas O’Byrne, two Muggles. The fact that she is female is mildly disappointing to them.

1874-1884
The Early Years In 1875 Yseult’s brother Kevin is born. Being a two year old, she doesn’t particularly care.

Over the years, weird things start to happen around Yseult that are unexplainable. Things change places, colors, sizes The family attempts to keep it to themselves, resulting in Yseult spending less time with her friends.

In 1880, Yseult’s sister Aisling is born. At first, she is delighted to have a sister, then ultimately realizes that babies aren’t much fun at the games she likes to play. She is less excited when Arthur arrives in 1883.

1884 brings the explanation of why strange things happen around Yseult. A Hogwarts professor announces to the family that Yseult is a witch, and that she should attend at least one year of schooling. Concerned about what their neighbors will think, they are relieved to find that magic is mostly kept secret.

1884-1885
The Hogwarts Year During the school year, Yseult learns how to interact with her other peers and how much she adores learning about magic, which only makes the knowledge that her parents can't afford for her to continue her schooling more painful. A classmate's mother offers a position working as a maid in Irvingly, which Yseult accepts after consulting with her parents.

1885-1893
The Working Years Yseult joins the household of her classmate's elderly widowed grandmother, a witch who lives in Irvingly. She works as a scullery maid and eventually picks up a few new spells, though it isn't until 1887 that she is allowed to use them.

As a witch, she is occasionally allowed to go to Hogsmeade. There, she always took the opportunity to try to make connections with others. The wizarding world was mostly new to her, and she wanted to avoid looking foolish about anything.

In 1891, the witch that Yseult worked for passes away. Although it was possible for her to continue working as a maid for one household, she instead chose to work at the Irvingly Infirmary, being fascinated by the work done there by the nurses and other staff.

Personality: Kind - Thoughtful - Meek - Nervous - Quiet
Many would describe Yseult as something of a people pleaser. She's very close with her family, but worries a lot about what they think of her as a Muggleborn witch, something she thinks about both from the perspective of muggles and magical folk. She is clever and quick to catch on to new ideas, spells, and routines, but usually hides what she is thinking unless she is comfortable with people to avoid seeming "too much" or "unladylike."
Other: Patronus: unable to cast
Boggart: her entire family dead by magic
