Brief Childhood History:
On January third Arabella born to the very much in love and very much young Anabella Celestine and Aaron Thompson in London. They had named her in honor of their love, using a mix between the two names. Her parents had been the best of friends in their school years and admitted their love for one-another around the age of 15. They had been together ever since, and would be together for the rest of their lives. So they thought. At around 3, their family had gone terribly wrong. Anabella wanted marriage, but Aaron had been questioning the relationship for years, he'd been just too scared to admit it. His entire childhood and teen years had been spent with Anabella, he felt like he hadn't been able to experience the world they knew as a whole. They had been tied down too soon and he wanted more. He wanted to adventure the world, not live in a little suburbia and watch others thrive.
That's why Anabella always described Aaron as selfish as Arabella grew up. She never had a nice thing to say about him, and refused to tell Arabella about him. Details of their school days were nonexistent. Memories of her three years with her father had been burnt up, and all she had were the small fragments that remained in her mind. She had one thing from him, which was a neat music box that had a holographic image of her daddy dancing with her on her 2nd birthday. She marveled the intricate little box, wondering how someone could get so much detail in it, she assumed it was worth more money than her little palm could grasp.
Little did she know, there was nothing electronic about that music box, it was pure magic.
For Eleven years, she knew nothing of her Dad's world, which had also been her Mum's. She hid it, she hid it well. At every sign of the world she knew and Arabella was destined to know, she tried her best to explain it in a logical and muggle way. She had Arabella fooled, until the inevitable letter came. Ana didn't want to hide it forever, but she wanted to hide it for long as she could, until the girl was older. She was 11, and she was going to go to Hogwarts, that was decided. The actual talk of her Father never came, and it never did. Ana acted as if she neverheard of Hogwarts. She had gone so far with the hiding of it, and was afraid to tell her daughter the truth about her own history in the wizarding world. There would be time for that, the girl was only 11, and perhaps she would understand why she hid it for so long when she understood the power of said world.
Strengths (Including Personality and Academic):
Personality wise, Arabella had always been quite charming. She had an easy time getting what she wanted from her Mum, partially because she was all too spoiled due to the guilt Anabella felt for the lack of a father figure. In muggle school she had a few close friends, but the rest of her class she didn't much care for. She used said charm to fill in the gaps temporarily when her "real" friends weren't around.
Academically, she had done fairly well with mathematics in muggle school. Her Mother tried to keep her daughters mind on the logical things, that's what helped her hide the magical world so well. Anabella made sure to overflow her daughters brain with the history of the muggle world, in some desperate attempt to suffocate the magic right out of her. Logic, logic, logic. The closest thing to magic in the world was only technology that helped expand ones logic. As a whole, her strengths lie in things she can relate to the muggle world, including Herbology, Potions, History of Magic, and Astronomy.
Weaknesses (Including Personality and Academic):
The fear of being alone causes her to pretend to like alot more people than she really does, as to fill in the gaps when her "real" friends aren't present. This causes her to seem like she's just throwing them under the bus when her real friends come around, making her seem very stuck up. Typical insecure 11-year old who doesn't want to be legitimately denied by another child her age.
In her first year at Hogwarts, the only classes she can really grasp are the ones similar to things she's learned in the muggle world.The actual wand work in charms, defense against the dark arts, and transfiguration is proving to be most difficult for her, and hard to engage in. She had muggle classes come pretty easily to her, so the fact these are so hard to grasp has become very frustrating. Being 11 years old, some days she has the ambition to try very hard, and other days she just wants to snap her wand in half and throw it in that wretched lake.
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why: Gryffindor, because she's quite the mix emotionally and mentally, I think Gryffindor encompasses that fairly well. Due to her lack of discipline, cunning, I couldn't see her in Ravenclaw or Slytherin. yet, I think she may be too manipulative for Hufflepuff.
