Physical Description: Ivy is short for her age. She is much more aware of it now she is at school. A nasty Slytherin boy called her a dwarf her first week. Ivy's mum says she will grow quickly in a few years. It will all be OK. Ivy really hopes it will be true. Growing spells are too difficult to try right now.
Ivy has long blonde hair. It is her favorite thing about her looks. She has grown it very long. She and her sisters enjoy braiding each others hair. They pour over their mother's magazines. Try to recreate looks. Learn the occasional tutorials. At school Ivy plaits her own hair. She tries to keep it up for lessons. Fearful it will get singed.
She wears her uniform neatly. Favors a cardigan instead of a jumper. In the evenings and at the weekends she wears simple things. Leggings, jeans, t-shirts, sweaters that come down to nearly her knees. In the common room and dormitory she normally wears socks, slippers or is barefoot.
Since Christmas holidays Ivy's clothes can often have ginger cat hair. This is because of her pet cat Marmalade who was her family Christmas present.
Personality Description: As a friend
Having friends is very important to Ivy. She would hate to admit it but she desperately needs to be needed. She is anxious about being cut off from friends, family etc. She does not like to do things on her own if she can help it. The sort of girl who would say she needed the toilet somewhere unfamiliar but need a friend to come with her.
When she is glum she can be cheered up by being asked to help. If she is doing something for someone else she feels useful and wanted. Ivy is caring and compassionate. She is an excellent listener. She can be good at suggesting birthday presents for those she knows best.
As a student
Ivy tries her best. She is not top of the class. It takes her longer than others to pick up practical magic. Casting spells. She gets despondent easily when everyone finds it easy. She begs friends to help her. Give her tips. Tries to mimic them. Hoping that will fix things. Really all she needs is support. Time. A kind word. She has strengths in potions and herbology.
As a daughter
Home is very important to Ivy. She likes going on trips with her family but she is always very happy to be home. She was horribly homesick in September. Ivy enjoys doing things with her family. She would always like to spend time with her mum or dad when they can do something together. Or she can help them. Not if they are busy and ignore her. She loves her sisters. But sisters can still annoy each other. Just by being sisters. Ivy loves learning to bake. She also really loves preparing special food for celebrations like Christmas, Halloween or birthdays. She is in the kitchen at home a lot with her sisters.
History: Ivy was born after the Voldemort war ended. When it was peaceful again. She has an older sister Heather and a younger sister Cassia. Her mother was a professional quidditch player. But is now a coach. Her dad works at the Ministry. Ivy is fond of her grandparents who are her mother's parents. She loves it when her uncle Brinley visits but he does not visit often now he works for the Minister of Magic. Her dad's parents passed away long before she was born. Her dad has lots of older brothers but they do not speak to each other. Heather told Ivy that they have been in Azkaban. This is why their dad changed his name when he married their mum. Not to ask him about them.
Ivy grew up and still lives in Tinworth, a mostly wizarding community in Cornwall near the coast. Her grandparents live a few streets away. Ivy and her younger sister were often looked after by their grandparents while their parents worked. Their grandparents taught their granddaughters much about magical plants, herbs and took them rock-pooling and kite flying on the beach. But their parents would do their best to have family time together during the school holidays when Heather went away to Hogwarts. They were able to occasionally holiday abroad. But most summers in Cornwall had plenty of swimming and sometimes surfing.
Ivy was nervous about going to Hogwarts. She was very happy to be sorted into Hufflepuff. It is an important house to her family. But she was worried not to be in the same house as her big sister. She was glad to make friends. But was very homesick. Her family gifted her a ginger cat at Christmas in first year which she named Marmalade. This helped with homesickness. Marmalade spends much of his time sleeping on Ivy's dormitory bed. Then gets up to mischief at night.
