She cares strongly for those close to her, although she is a bit too quick to pass judgments on others, and is very set in her own ways. She has a soothing, motherly side to her which is accompanied by a strong desire to protect her friends. Occasional bouts of depression are not uncommon for the young witch, and she can easily think herself into a black mood. When the time arises, Hestia acts as a natural leader, and has the quick-thinking and calculating mindset to see her through difficult situations. Hestia's sensitive side exists, but its buried beneath the layers she gained from dealing with bullying and victimization for a good portion of her life. She has a soft, vulnerable spot, but only those who truly do get close to her will have a chance to see it. Her over-eating and occasional slobish tendencies are her greatest downfall, as she has been know to sit in bed for days on end with a big pile of something tasty. Possessing an autistic streak, Hestia sometimes stands out a little in social situations, but is generally well-meaning and kind in her intentions. However, her fiery temper is truly something to behold, and her high degree of empathy bestows her with the ability to well and truly understand how to cause others pain, making her wrath painful to say the least.

Once prestigious English noblemen, the Wintergeralds moved to the colonies, and ended up immigrating to America. Setting up in South Carolina, the Wintergerald's became prominent members of both the political and religious scene, and were active members of the confederate states during the civil war. After the south 's defeat, the Wintergerald family retreated form Muggle affairs almost entirely, becoming a secluded cabal of purebloods. Hestia Wintergerald was born in Columbia, South Carolina to wizard parents, and was heavily integrated into the magic community from birth. From an early age she had a problem with overeating, and was ridiculed and bullied for it at the muggle school she attended during her younger years. Inspite of this, Hestia grew up as a strong and confident young woman, whose matronly qualities and good humour attracted others to her, meaning that she was never short of friends. Her acceptance letter to Salem came through promptly, and Hestia has spent the rest of her schooling days as a member of Tituba House. She is a bit of a party animal, but has otherwise seamlessly integrated herself at Salem. Hestia has found acceptance amongst her peers, and is generally well-liked, if considered a little intense and melodramatic at times. [color=7ea7d8]Relationships: [/color] [color=00a99d][b]Allea Strand: [/b] “If I had to call someone a rival for my position as group ‘mother’, then it would be Allea. She’s kind-hearted down to an art, and always seems to have time for everyone else. Part of me envies her dedication to her friends, but another part of me knows that someone that caring must have some pretty awful demons of her own. I feel like we’d have alot to chat about if we got past all the bullshit exteriors, but I can’t see that happening anytime soon.” Hestia has immense respect for Allea, and the kind manner in which she treats all of her friends. While she wouldn’t really consider them buddies, Allea is someone who she’d be more than happy to sit and talk to. [b]Aurelia Faulkner [/b] “If Aurelia came to me and said ‘I need your help burying a body’ my response would be ‘what time? what place?’ We’re the best of friends, and I can’t decide if my feelings towards her are that of a big sister, a loving mother, or a potential crush. Piercings are sexy okay? Leave me alone! I feel like I can really be myself around her, and I know that she feels the same way back to me. The other gals and guys are always about if I need a laugh, but if shit is about to get serious then Aurelia will 100% be my first call.” The two girls confide in each other, and have one badass friendship. If you cross one you better be sure there’s hell to pay, as you’ve just managed to piss off two sassy witches. [b]Echo Halcyone [/b] “Echo’s great fun! If I ever want to go out and get hammered she’s always up for a night out. I feel like she dosen’t respond to my mothering as well as some of others, but I guess that’s just one less job for me, so I’m not complaining. I’d say our relationship lands somewhere between close acquaintances and friends. She’s someone I can just kind’ve switch my brain off and have a good time with, and that’s a breath of fresh air.” Hestia and Echo have a reasonably friendly relationship. They chat often, but its generally about pointless and hollow things, without much real depth to their conversations. Hestia has a high opinion of Echo, but she’s not really someone she’d go to if she was feeling down. [b]Lu Ziya [/b] “Mostly harmless.” “Alright! Alright! I don’t really know what to say about his supreme redness...I’m sure he’s lovely, and I’ve never found a reason to dislike him, but the whole ‘mask’ deal is a little bit unnerving. Given the chance to chat, I feel like we’d get along, but the right opportunity hasn’t presented itself yet, and it doesn't seem like either of us is making big strides to talk anytime soon.” Hestia has never really spoken to Lu properly, and is generally quite cautious around him. She’s naturally curious about what secrets lie beneath his smiling exterior, perhaps a bit more than she should be. [b]Cassandre LaFlamme[/b] “Cassandre is someone who's always looking out for others, and that’s something I can really respect. She’s one of those people you’d have to actively try to dislike, and I’m not the type of person to go around looking for a fight (contrary to what my ex-boyfriend might lead you to believe). Good taste in music too! I like this one.” Hestia regards Cassandre with a warm smile and an even warmer hug, and always has plenty of time to spend with her. Her attraction towards her is purely friendship-based, though. [b]Amelia Averyonna[/b] “Can’t say I spend much time hanging around first years, but Amelia seems like a sweet kid. She likes to keep to herself, like alot of folks seem to, and I guess the older children must seem quite intimidating to her.” Hestia doesn't really have a well-formed opinion on Amelia, but thinks only good things about her. [b]Carlo Valentine[/b] “You know that one person who everything always seems to go right for? That suave douchebag who knows how rugged and handsome they are? That’s Carlo Valentine. Everything about him pushes my buttons, and I can’t decide if I want to punch him or french kiss him. Either way, I’d be dreaming about it for weeks afterwards.” Outwardly, Hestia is exceptionally hostile to Carlo, and appears to harbour a searing disdain for him. She has a few below the waist feelings for him, but nothing she’d ever be caught dead admitting to. [b]Ariadne Tune[/b] “Merlin’s beard, I just wanna hug her and tell her everything's gonna be alright! She’s such a sweetheart! She seems like the loner type, and I don’t wanna cramp her style, but I hope we get a chance to talk properly at some point.” Hestia sort of admirers Ariadne from afar, and finds something very endearing and attractive about her whole demeanor. [b]Edgar Whitby[/b] “I wish the guys here would stop being so frickin’ attractive! Smart is supposed to be the new sexy, but Edgar seems to have both of those going for him -not that he’d ever realize it-. He’s pretty shy and introverted, but he’s good for a laugh too!” Hestia goes a little doey-eyed for Edgar at times, but generally considers him to be a good mate. Her feelings aren’t strong enough that she’d ever act upon them, but that doesn't mean she’ll think twice about stealing a few alluring glances. [b]Emily Geralds[/b] “Like a good tub of ice cream; Chill and Open. Emily isn’t someone who causes alot of drama, and that’s really quite refreshing. She clearly cares about her academics alot, but I’m not about to pick on someone for being invested in their education. A little bit stubborn, but who am I to criticize?” Hestia seems something of herself in Emily, and is drawn to her calm and out-going personality. [b]Troy Franklin[/b] “That kid is -SERIOUSLY- wise beyond his years. I just wanna find whoever put him through all that crap and suckerpunch them! He’s a right hard-ass ,for such a little guy, and I feel like his is a name we’ll be hearing alot of as the years tick by.” Hestia can’t help but feel sorry for the first year, and looks at him the way people look at cute pictures of cats on the internet.
