SPOTLIGHT: CONTESSA CLARENXIEUX

If you haven't met Contessa yet, now's the time! Our spotlight for this flier is newcomer Betsy's lovely first year! She's as formidable as first year's come, and an absolute delight to write with. When Contessa isn't killing it in lessons, she's doing an ace job in the Duelling Club and making friends as only a Slytherin can!


"Contessa raised an eyebrow back at Sulwen, a cheeky glint to her eyes. "Something wrong Reid? Lighten up you wet blanket, can't you take a joke?"
- Contessa with the sass -

"It was young Contessa Clarencieux, after all, who was in a category of her own in most ways. If she engaged in some action or activity, Knox had learned it was not whimsy."
- Knox Greyfriar -

"He glanced at the book Contessa was reading - she was like him, she liked schoolwork."
