Brief Childhood History: Rhea was born in the care of her two loving magical parents, Logan and Lauren. She was not their first child, but their fourth. She was, however, the only daughter the couple ever had. The other three children were all boys and they, together with Rhea, made up the family of six.
So, that’s how Rhea’s life began. She grew up in the lovely and idyllic city of Canterbury, together with her three older brothers. There was Axl, who was 2 years older than she was, then there was Cameron, who was 3 years older than she was and finally, there was Duncan, who was 5 years older than she was. Regardless of the fact that they differed a lot in age, they all got along very well.
Before going to Hogwarts, Rhea never went to school. Her parents made the decision to homeschool all of their children. They felt like they could better teach them things that would be usefull to them in their later, magical life. Not only that, but they were also worried one of he children would display magic in class. Duncan, who went to primary school for a few years, did that. Not wanting to endanger their position, it was decided they would homeschool their children. Rhea learned regular muggle stuff, but also some magical stuff, like some of the history of the wizarding world. She never had a problem with being homeschooled. She liked to learn and being homeschooled gave her much more freedom than going to a regular school would give her.
This doesn’t mean she never had any friends. Her childhood was a happy one and she was friends with a lot of the other children in the neighbourhood, even though she was always considered a bit ‘weird’. It didn’t really matter to the other kids. They quite liked it. Together, they played outside a lot. Rhea really loved being outside and she really loved her hometown.
Losing her brothers to school was something that used to upset Rhea very much. Especially because they were all homeschooled, and they were almost the only other magical kids she knew, it was hard to see them go. Of course it wasn’t a surprise when Rhea received a Hogwarts’ acceptance letter on the day of her 11th birthday. She’s always been excited to go to Hogwarts and now it’s finally her time. She has always wondered where she would be sorted. Her mother was in Hufflepuff, whereas her father was a proud housemember of Gryffindor. Her eldest brother Duncan is in Gryffindor, as is her youngest, Axl. Cameron is in Ravenclaw. She hopes to be in either of those houses.
Strengths (Including Personality and Academic): Rhea is a very smart and curious girl. She likes to learn new things and she is usually very clever (the smartest of the four of them, her mother always said). She’s also fun-loving, easy-going and overall very kind. She finds making new friends quite easy, but is also able to handle her problems on her own and to stand up for herself. Surprisingly, one of the classes she turns out to be quite good in is Flying. She’s also pretty good in Charms, Defence against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration. Also the learny subjects are things she’s good at, such as History of Magic and Potions.
Weaknesses (Including Personality and Academic): It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but Rhea’s quite clumsy. She’s a bit of a mess, really. She forgets to bring stuff to class, leaves her homework lying around and is known to throw something off of a desk every once in a while. She occasionally blurst out stuff she’d have better kept to hersef. She can also be a bit snappy. Now, she loves her brothers very much, but she has been in fights with them, and she’s learned how to protect herself. Besides that, she doesn’t like being overshadowed by them, which can also cause her to be a bit harsh sometimes, when someone else is putting her far away in the background. Her stubbornness is another thing that sometimes makes Rhea a bit hard to work with. In school, she probably won’t be so good at Care of Magical Creatures (if she ever decides to take that), Herbology and Astronomy.
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why: I feel like Rhea would do best in Ravenclaw. She has qualities of the other houses, but overal she’s just a Ravenclaw girl. She’s smart, curious and witty. She takes up interest in a lot of things and is a quick learner.

Heya Rhea and welcome to HPRPG~!
Unfortunately, Ravenclaw is currently closed, so I'm going to go ahead and pop Rhea on the waiting list. If, at any time during your wait, you feel you can see her in another house feel free to edit accordingly and poke us here. <3
