Brief Childhood History:
Born on the fourteenth of July to Georgiana and Declan Dewar in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland; Orlaith is the third and currently last child in the family. Her older siblings are Sinead and Ainsley Dewar, both of whom are set to inherit her mother and fathers’ family businesses respectively. Orlaith grew up in an aristocratic neighbourhood because whilst no one is sure if the Dewar family are pureblooded or not they do know that the family always had money - which is what mattered right?
Orlaith, not set to inherit anything unless something happens to one of her older siblings, was continually shunted to her extended family members, with a large allowance in tow, whilst she was young. She met a great many people, including her childhood best friend, Jethro Delaney. She has sharp studying habits, thanks to time spent in the company of her studious, anti-social cousin Scarlette James, as well as a lot of private tutoring. But when she wasn't studying she was doing something she deemed more worthwhile. Be it shopping, playing with "friends" [she was always aware that some people only spoke to her because of her family's money] or basking in the attention of her other family members.
Something did happen to one of her older siblings, Ainsley, but not something to outline Orlaith as the heir to her fathers business entirely. Ainsley was labelled the 'laziest' of the Dewar children, because he was known to be both a dreamer and a procrastinator. Being constantly reminded of his label, Ainsley submitted to it, refusing to do anything in the way of learning to take over his father's business. The result was that Declan's interest in his youngest daughter peaked, and Orlaith's time to spend with Jethro declined. Moreover, his father's business eventually required that the entire family relocated to Brighton a few months after Orlaith turned ten, resulting in her losing contact with her childhood best friend.
On receiving her Hogwarts letter, Orlaith was estactic, assuming that Jethro must have been attending also as she had been there for his first magical experience That was mainly the reason she was happy to leave her luxurious lifestyle to study at Hogwarts.
Strengths (Including Personality and Academic):
Orlaith's a very confident person, perhaps overly confident you might argue, but it works in her favour because it fuels her ambition and makes her more likely to try new things. Ambition is also another one of her strengths, because if you speak to Orlaith for even only a few minutes you'll find she has very high ambitions, realistic ones, but high ones and she always intends to achieve them. She's also got great self-restraint, it's not easy to get on her nerves or upset her. Academically, her strength would lie in potions because that was where her cousins' focus always was. She also would take to Charms a bit.
Weaknesses (Including Personality and Academic):
On the downside she's very literal and blunt. This comes across as her not having a sense of humour but she does. She tends to take what a lot of people say at face value unless it's blatantly sarcastic. She therefore tends to criticise people a lot because...people say a lot of dumb things around her for some reason [in her opinion anyway]. Tact is a big weakness of hers, she doesn't have it. At all. Also, whilst she doesn't get shaken easily - once she is shaken Orlaith tends to have difficulty regaining control of herself or her temper etc. In school she doesn't have any classes she's hopeless at, if she tried she could somewhat succeed in all of them. However, she's taken to shunning the classes she doesn't think will benefit her in future, only getting enough to pass. As such she's not an academically weak person... she's more... lazy. Classes she really doesn’t try at include Astronomy and Flying.
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why:
I personally feel Orlaith’s cold personality, over-confidence and high ambition make her best suited to Slytherin.
