              COLD
              xxx»» Mallaidh isn't one to wear her emotions on her sleeve, quite the opposite, in fact. She dislikes dramatic expressions of people's feelings, and especially hates it when she shows them herself. She tries to keep her thoughts and feelings to herself, not thinking that they're anybody else's business. She is uncomfortable with people who are very emotional. She comes across as being quite distant, and even robotic, at times.

              IMPATIENT
              xxx»» She doesn't like to spend a lot of time waiting on things. She is very much a doer, preferring to improvise in the act over settling down and thinking things through. Waiting, she thinks, is a waste of valuable time, which could be better utilized. If she is in a situation where she has to draw up a plan, she will usually draw up the simplest version she can, to take up as little time as possible, and leave a lot of wiggle room to figure it out as she goes.

              ADAPTABLE
              xxx»» Lucky for her, Mallaidh is very quick on her feet. She reacts quickly to stimuli and is excellent at improvisation. Her mind moves quickly through her options so that she can try and figure out the outcomes to each choice. Years of focusing on puzzles and puzzle games has trained her mind to read the room quickly and figure out what can and should be done.

              OBSERVANT
              xxx»» When she was younger, Mallaidh had a very hard time interacting with other people, especially children her own age. Relying on her brother and caring more about things like books and her studies left her with minimal social skills, and her tunnel vision could get in the way of her understanding. Years at Hogwarts trained her to watch people a little more closely, with the buffer of her brother often missing. She still doesn't interact much, but she spends a fair amount of time people-watching and analyzing behaviors that are somewhat foreign to her.

              CURIOUS
              xxx»» Mallaidh doesn't like being idle, preferring to fill her time with something to enrich her mind. She likes puzzles and stories, and generally will find a creative way to use her time if left to her own devices. She loves to read and to explore, carrying a journal around with her pretty much everywhere to make note of anything that catches her eye. She usually fills one of these notebooks a week, and her father has taken to buying them in bulk for simplicity's sake.

              QUIET
              xxx»» Mallaidh doesn't talk much, preferring to keep to herself. She usually leaves the socializing to her brother, who is much more personable, and mostly makes friends through him. She usually thinks things through and decides whether or not her contributions to a conversation are necessary; if not, she tends to keep them to herself. She's not usually one to start a conversation, quite liking to sit in silence and often forgetting that others might find it uncomfortable.

              CHILDHOOD
              xxx»» Mallaidh was one of a set of twins born to Patrick O'Hannigan and Dinah Heyman. She doesn't like to talk much about that, though, because when she and her brother Seaghdha were only three years old, their mother disappeared from their lives, no explanation, no contact, nothing. Her brother took it well enough, being the more optimistic of the two of them, but as soon as Mallaidh was old enough to understand what'd happened, she became very bitter about the whole thing. She doesn't remember her mother at all, and doesn't see any point to keeping around photos, or talking about her as if she's some important figure in her life. She especially doesn't see the point in pretending like she's anything but an incubator, because as far as Mallaidh is concerned, if she has a mother, it's her childhood babysitter Saoirse. Unlike Dinah, Saoirse was always there for her and her brother, even when their father couldn't be. Honestly, Mallaidh considers her almost more of a parent than Patrick, though she'd never say so to his face.
              xxx»» Mallaidh was a very anti-social child, not caring for company other than that of her family. She took strongly to the stories that Saoirse and Seaghdha would tell her, enjoying their fanciful notions of the world outside their home town. She was equally delighted with her brother's magic, once it manifested, though she never really considered that she might have it as well. Seaghdha was a dreamer, a story waiting to happen, so of course he had magic. It only made sense. Mallaidh, on the other hand, was very much a grounded, down to Earth child, and so she never expected to be so special. Of course, the manifestation of her own magic was nothing like her brother's. Quite the opposite, in fact, because while his was born of excitement and joy, hers was an explosion of anger at their father, who was trying to get her to open up on the subject of their mother. Mallaidh had no desire to talk about a person she didn't even remember, and resented that her father constantly tried to remind her of the woman's existence. She suspected that he, and maybe her brother, always wished she would come back, but Mallaidh thought they were better off without her. She did a good job at keeping her anger in check, or at least, she thought she did. Outwardly, she showed no signs of being upset, other than her eyes. But as she spoke, the objects in the room began to literally shake with the intensity of her feelings. At first, her father thought it was Seaghdha, and begged him to stop, but he insisted that it wasn't him. It took them all a moment to realize that actually, it was Mallaidh. A few years later, a man came to their home, letters in hand, informing them that the twins were magical, and would be attending a special magical school. Mallaidh was skeptical, but curious, and found herself looking forward to what sounded to her an awful lot like an adventure.

              SCHOOL YEARS
              xxx»» Mallaidh was at odds with the magical world in the early days. Magic, and the way it functioned, was to her mind something that should exist only in fairy tales. Still, she found herself excited by the prospect of a whole new world with a whole new history to discover, and threw herself into her studies. She and her brother were sorted into separate houses, which resulted in her not being able to rely on him as heavily for the little social contact she required. She did make one friend, a fellow Slytherin named August, who she more or less ended up coaching through some rather awkward social situations with a girl. Considering Mallaidh herself wasn't blessed with anything approaching social graces, it was pretty bad that she had to be the voice of reason. She decided pretty early on that she had no desire for romance, which suited her just fine as she didn't seem to feel inclined towards it, anyway.
