Backstory: As a child, her mother had always told her that she was gifted. Though in the eyes of those who classified themselves as normal, she was quite peculiar. From her youth, she found that more than anything, she possessed an affinity for books. Having spent the majority of her life in her father's study surrounded by knowledge beyond her wildest dreams, thanks to the affluent wealth of her family, there was not really ever a struggle she had to partake in from her younger years. In fact, some might say, (even she) that she was rather coddled by an overprotective mother and father alike.

All that changed however, with her eleventh year of life, and she received a letter from Hogwarts.

Instantly immersing herself in the knowledge and study of magic, she found that above most things, she held a preference for two subjects in particular. Potions and Herbology, for drawing out the latent power that herbs and plants seemed to hold so secretively drew her raptured attention. While receiving good marks in all of her other subjects, never once were any of the former below an Excellent or an Outstanding. Graduation from Hogwarts went smoothly, receiving both extraordinarily commendable marks and even recommendations from her former potions Professor to work at Diagon Alley in some of the most prestigious practices that lined such a marketplace. And there, until her late twenties, she worked quite contentedly until the former professor retired.

And who, did he think was best to replace him? His old treasured apprentice, of which she naturally took up the challenge more than happily. After all, it is her duty he surmised, that she pass on her excellence to younger generations.

Personality: Coy, cunning, and witty, sometimes the other faculty occasionally has the difficulty of understanding if she is serious or not. Despite that however, she truly cares for her students and fellow compatriots alike; even sometimes going out of her way to offer a potion or two to help focus the studies of others to insure that they pass, or graduate. Time to time, she can be rebellious, but that is only when she believes the cause she's defending is truly worth it, both her time and wits.

Wand: Redwood with Unicorn Hair, eleven inches.

Personal items and pets:
She possesses a pet in the form of a small arctic fox, named Felix. Ironically, he can be oft found lounging lazily about her neck, and very much asleep.
In terms of personal items, she also has a Potion Master's kit, of which is filled with an amazing array of pre-prepared herbs and solutions.

Special Gifts and Abilities:
Voiceless Casting - like many of the professors, she is quite adept at NOT announcing her intentions via the use of voiceless spellcasting. She is a more than capable witch.
Patronus - Her patronus is in he shape of a larger spiritual Fox, nothing too complex about this.
Potions Master - Within her mind is an almost encyclopedic knowledge base of potions that she can make. That aside, she still uses references since sometimes on rare sequences, she is prone to mistakes.
