Appearance: It is hard to know what other features are 'hers' and not the result of her abilities. As a child she was a pretty child whose hair was variously brown and blonde at regular intervals. To most people however, she presents as a young lady of 5 ft 1 in tall, with blonde hair and greey eyes. If she was asked she would say that that is what Adrestia looks like - if that is what Hermione Villefort would look like - well only the gods know! Appearing as a classic victorian beauty she wears fashionably cut gowns in colours which compliment her skin. She does however have a seperate wardrobe of 'costumes' for when she goes out as anything other than 'Adrestia.'

History:
Adrestia was born Hermione Villefort, the only child of Henry and Eugenia Villefort. Her life was an ordinary and typical wizarding childhood. She displayed magic at 3 by summoning her doll to her during a crying fit. Her mother died in childbirth that claimed the life of mother and child. Still Hermione was the apple of her fathers eye, doted on and petted.

Her life was charmed, but fairly standard for a middle class family -until that day. Her father was arrested implicated in a plot that involved embezzling funds from the people he worked for and using it to fund nefarious doings and illicit activity in the Empire and beyond. Added to that the insult that her father had been having an affair with the wife of one of those clients.

She was taken in by Mister Dantés, a single bachelor distant great uncle with no children, and the pretty little creature who called him ‘Grandfather’ almost immediately won his heart. He took her as his ward and made her his heir. When she took his surname, he had a naming seer give her a new first name as well - all an attempt to escape the 'shame' of her fathers crimes.

largely self made, his money and wealth were based in tea, cotton and opium, so he moved them to India where the nicer climate helped control the tuberculosis he had had since he was a young man. Here Adrestia was raised in palatial white sandstone estates surrounded by Indian servants who called her ‘Missy Sahib’ and she was treated like an actual princess - wanting for nothing.

When she was 11 she received a letter from Hogwarts inviting her to attend, but Mister Dantés and Mister Salvage felt it would be better if she attended Mandira to stay away from those families who might have known, or be involved in her fathers downfall.

She was 15 when Mister Dantés died her care was passed to Mister Salvage. He was the one who told her exactly what had happened with her father- how those people had ruined her life and robbed her of the only family she had had in this world, and the seed of anger took hold.

She swore revenge on those who had destroyed her family. She was dedicated in school, got good grades but had a penchant for a darker shade of magic than is traditionally considered feminine.

When she finished her schooling, she stayed in India for a short time to prepare her plan and has now returned to England intent on finding the families that ruined her family and, in her opinion, killed her father.
