Mysti is an outgoing friendly person who loves entertaining. If she knows you well enough, she won't be afraid to be truthful with you. Growing up with 2 older brothers, Mysti is a pretty strong person and loves playing Quidditch. She doesn't like to study, but still does well in classes. And she loves making new friends and making them laugh.
History
Mystique is the youngest child of three. She has two older brothers who kept her pretty tough as a younger girl. Her brothers are Jonathan Ketteridge, 4 years older than her, and Billy Ketteridge, 3 years older. She grew up playing quidditch with them, and her father, who works for the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Magical Games and Sports. Jack Ketteridge would take his children to many Quidditch games and loved sharing his favorite sport with them. Mysti fell in love with it the moment she first saw it. The complexity of it all, along with the skill required to play it.
Both of her parents have always spoiled her and her brothers with great gifts and a great life. Part of that might have been because her parents were both the only children in their families. They, too, had been spoiled as children, and so Mysti and her brothers were spoiled like them, by their parents, and their grandparents. Her father's parents lived not too far away, and they would always be able to visit. But her mother's parents lived a bit farther away. Mysti did know them, but not as well as her paternal grandparents. When Mysti was five years old, during the rise of the Dark Lord, her maternal grandparents came across a few Death Eaters who wanted some items that they possessed. Unwilling to give the items up, the Death Eaters used the Cruciatus curse. By the time someone was alerted, the couple was in a bad condition when they were taken to St. Mungos. The damage was too bad and Mysti's grandparent's didn't make it. The loss hit the family hard, and though Mysti wasn't quite able to grasp what had happened, she knew it was bad.
Growing up, she had lessons with her parents and her father's mother for her Metamorph ability. Mysti's parents realized it before she was old enough to know what the ability meant. It had skipped a generation, and it was still a pretty rare ability. It was also something that she would mostly have to hide, because it would separate her from others in her class.
Geraldine Ketteridge, Mysti's mother, is a healer at St. Mungos Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. Her mother's job was a good choice, considering that with her three children almost always on brooms, they got injured a lot. Mysti has always looked up to her mother and has even had the aspiration to become a healer like her mother. When she was little, and not at Quidditch matches with her father and brothers, Mysti would go to Mungo's and help out with small chores. She would also go visit patients during the winter holidays and try to help cheer up the ones who had no family to visit them. Because of the loss of her maternal grandparents at a young age, Mysti always wanted to be like her mother and try to prevent that happening to others. Her main ambition is to become a great healer and help out those in need.
Of course, while that is a dream of hers, she still has a hope to play Quidditch. Mysti knows that it's not easy to go pro in Quidditch, so she keeps her eyes on becoming a healer. Given the opportunity, Mysti just might pick pro Quidditch over healing. Both are things she enjoys, and would have a difficult time choosing, but she does like the sense of danger that comes with Quidditch. There's still a part of Mysti that would love to be an Auror, but she doesn't think she's got as much talent in the classes needed to reach that goal.
Her family always knew she was going to get accepted to Hogwarts, but were still so excited for her when they got the official letter. Geraldine cooked Mysti's favorite meal that night and they made a big event out of it getting her new items for school. Her brothers both attended Hogwarts (one in John in Hufflepuff and Billy in Gryffindor) and were telling her all about it. Mysti remembered them talking about it when they first started, and she loved hearing their stories every break when they would come home. Now she was excited to see it all for herself.
And going back further in her history, Mysti is related to Elladora Ketteridge. She's the one who first discovered the magical properties of gillyweed. Of course, she nearly killed herself doing so, but hey, still pretty sweet.
