              ■ SMART I’ve got the brains and I know how to use them. I’m the smartest out of all my friends, if there’s something to be learned I’m right in there learning it. I love languages and am quick to pick up on them. I’m great with math and science guess I’d be pretty good with Arithmancy and Potions then. I like to think outside the box and keep things interesting. If there’s a problem to be solved I’m sure I’m the one who can solve it.
              ■ CREATIVE I see things differently than others. When one person sees nothing but scrap I find a use for it. I’m creative like that. In fact half my wardrobe is made up of scraps that were sewn into something new. I love designing and making my own fashion style. It makes a statement and it allows me to stand on my own. Standing out is way better then blending in all the time.
              ■ COMPOSED My friends say I’m the calm, cool, and collected one of our group. I don’t let things get to me. Sure I have my moments like everyone but I usually can control my outbursts. If I have a problem I’ll tell you in a calm manner. I’m hardly the yelling type. Yelling gets you nowhere and then you just lose your voice. Not good if you ask me. So long story short you won’t see me yelling, frustrated, or even stressed out. At least not often as it takes quite a bit. Probably why, I can handle all my friends’ drama day after day.
              ■ OPINIONATED Though, don’t let that fool you because I can and will speak my mind when I’m bothered by something (which usually involves bad fashion and hair choices). Of course I’m not all about the fashion world… I like the idea of adventure although I’m not the reckless type and I have a sense of humor. I may sound self-absorbed or maybe a tad opinionated but I’m really not that type of person. Any of my friend can and will tell you that.
              ■ HELPFUL If I can help people with my creativity and my knowledge why not? I love giving people fashion tips. Though, I love helping people in general I don’t see why I shouldn’t. I like being helpful and if ever a friends in need I’m there. I prefer to help rather than to watch someone struggle on something while I succeed. It’s only fair and besides sometimes helping can even help you in return.
              ■ PERFECTIONIST I tend to worry too much about the little things be it my looks or my grades. Call me a perfectionist of sorts if you want but I see nothing wrong with wanting good grades and a decent style.

              CHILDHOOD I had parents and I had a little brother, once. His name was Kenji. They’re gone now. They died in a car crash when I was seven. I was at a friend’s when it happened. They were coming to get me and well, they never showed up. I found out why when my friend’s mom informed me of what happened. I was then taken to the hospital, I suppose to say goodbye. My dad was gone before I got there, my mom was in surgery, and my little brother was in critical condition. I could tell he wasn’t going to make it. My mom died not long after, my brother soon followed. Within twenty-four hours of the accident I was alone. That’s when I knew, my life was about to change.

              That was the first time I ever used magic… Not that I was aware of it at the time. There was water everywhere. I can’t remember if it was raining indoors or what but it was wet. It wasn’t until I was calmed down and stopped crying that it just disappeared. I don’t really understand what happened that day and I vowed never to speak of it, but after that I found myself at Wool’s orphanage.

              I didn’t have any family in the area or even in the country to stay with. So, I came to live with a bunch of other kids with no families to go home too. The moment I got there I focused on nothing but my studies. Perhaps it was to keep my mind off the obvious I’m not really sure. Either way I ended up being greeted by a blonde haired girl name Candace. She seemed nice enough and she introduced me to her friend Kimberly. So I suppose I ended up with at least two friends. Though when I noticed a girl sitting alone with a book I couldn’t help but ask the two who she was. I ended up getting the story that the girl Alana didn’t really talk and usually sat alone. She arrived a few months before me. Intrigued I went over to her and tried to get her to talk. Ultimately I found out that English was her second language, much like myself and that’s why she never spoke. So, I offered to help her. In exchange she taught me how to speak Spanish. It was a fair trade. After that Alana and I became good friends and I got her to open up to Candace and Kimberly. The four of us have been best friends ever since.

              It wasn’t until we were all informed by a Hogwarts school governor that we’d be attending a school called Hogwarts that we vowed to be sisters for life. It was then I realized what really happened the day my little brother and my parents died.


              SCHOOL YEARS

              A creative thinker with plenty of opinions,
              One who seeks perfection in all you do.
              I know just what to do with you...
              Ravenclaw!

              First year I found myself in Ravenclaw. Kimberly landed in Slytherin while Alana and Candace landed in Hufflepuff together. As far as classes go I learned I hate flying and plants are not my thing. Transfiguration and Potions however worked nicely for me. We all joined the music club which was enjoyable. Second year we met Dris. He landed in my house, so I got to meet him a bit sooner then Skylar introducing him to the group. He was having a tough time during the sorting feast, which left me with a Gryffindor giving me a hard time. Chrys was her name and I’m pretty sure she opens her mouth before fully thinking. I ended up spending the rest of the feast with another first year Hikaru. It wasn’t until the music club started up that everyone got to meet Dris. The rest of the year was relatively uneventful. Though, Ravenclaw did win both cups. It was a three way tie for Quidditch cup and a two way tie for the house cup. Kimberly was out of both and she wasn't the happiest camper about it.

              Third year was electives which were rather interesting, lots of good classes. I met a boy a year above me at the feast, named Connor and his dog Sadie. He's blind but that doesn’t stop him from much. He can definitely play the piano. He taught me how to read braille so that was a fun trade off. He invited me to a summer party he and his brother Colton are having. I suppose I'll go since it is better then spending all summer at the orphanage with little to do. Fourth year on top of my other clubs I joined the school’s newspaper becoming its assistant editor. I also took on the advice column which I think will look good on a resume.

              Fifth year I made prefect. OWLs came and went. I did well on them but not without the stress that came with it. Kimberly blamed me for a fight she had with Candace. Then she claimed I had a complex since being made prefect. Needless to say, I spent my time with Connor when I wasn't studying. It was thanks to Clara for getting Kimberly and I to talk things over. We made amends by the end of the year at least. Sixth into Seventh year I became the editor and chef for the paper. I dropped a number of classes knowing NEWT level studies would be a challenge. Overall my exam scores were high, and I had no regrets. I even made head girl in my last year.


              POST GRADUATION Now graduated the four of us all moved into a place. We’ll be working on our music and hopefully I’ll get into fashion. Madam Malkin's seems promising, been working there for a few years now. The band is starting to take off the ground although it's been slow.

              NOTE I have a picture of my family to remember them by and my brother’s whistle.
