Personality: Very fun-loving and jovial, Thestia never ceases to try her best to cheer people up without using a cheering charm. She always speaks quickly and excitedly, her movements echoing some sort of graceful dance. Kind and caring, it's rare to see her without a smile in most situations. Her optimism is unwavering.

Bio: Born to a pureblood family, Thestia Merridew lead a life of joy. Her childhood was sprinkled with magic from her small country cottage in Minnesota, USA. She went and learnt magic in Salem, and achieved Exceeds Expectations in most topics, excluding an Acceptable for Muggle Studies and an Outstanding for Charms. Her most famous achievement was her ability to produce a corpereal patronus in her Fourth year.

Thestia was present for the rise and fall of Lord Voldemort but thankfully the only way it affected her was some family members becoming Death Eaters. After such a dark time, Thestia devoted herself to making people happy. She tired a (failed) business attempt at selling enchanted cutlery, and then applied for Charms Professor seven years ago.
