Out of her three sisters, she resembles her mother the most. With the same pouty lips, big eyes, and mousy brown hair. Her skin is an attractive light peach, with soft pink undertones, and is thankfully blemish free. Her green eyes are distinctly something she inherited from her father. Sunshine brings out the gold flecks, and glittering shades of green in her eyes. She is considered petite, as she has a small frame, and is much less curvaceous compared to her older sister, Joan. Sela is 5'4, weighing in around 110 pounds. When she is not in her school uniform, she dresses rather plainly. She favors sweaters, neutral colors, and anything with embroidery. If she is not wearing her hair down, she is most likely sporting some kind of braid. Any jewelry she wears also tends to be on the simpler side. She hates wearing makeup, and is not a fan of heels. Some might describe her as a plain jane type. Her family likes to tease her about her clothing style, saying she dresses like a granny. She is a big fan of glitter and sparkle, but tends to avoid wearing it.

Sela is no exception. As soon as she got her letter to attend the institute, he father gifted her with Geneva, a sneaky little Siamese kitten. Geneva is slender, though you can't tell through all her fluff. She is rather hostile with strangers, and loves to prowl around the dormitory, chasing beetles, and sleeping in high places. She is friendly with other students cats, but she has been found taunting the caged mice familiars. Thankfully she knows better then to ever try and eat them. Sela loves her dearly, and Geneva is very bonded to her witch. She sleeps on her own satin pillow right next to Sela every night.

She has a sharp tongue and a direct way of approaching things. Her mother has described her as being a wallflower, and a bit of a daydreamer. But her father says she is a lot more crafty, and fearless then she lets on. Sela isn’t concerned with what others think about her, so long as she follows her heart. The endless possibilities of the future excite her. She can typically see through the facade of others; she understands them in ways they can’t expect. Her quiet observances, over time, lead her to grand conclusions, and strong opinions. Once she decides what she wants, Sela pursues it. She is organized and has an excellent attention span. She isn’t afraid to take action. Her emotions run deep, though this doesn’t usually seem so to the surface. She shows them through actions, loyalties, and decisions. Sela lives in a world of daydreams, random ideas, and she get bored easily with routine. She stays grounded by keeping busy whether it be with school work, art, or reading. Sela is a considerate person, and if something happens that would aggravate an average person, she commonly just smiles and moves on. Loyal to a fault some might say. She can be the best friend you've ever had. She is careful with who she puts her trust in. When it comes to betrayal, disloyalty, and abuse she is completely unforgiving, and can be vengeful. Striking you were she can hurt you the most. She is capable of being utterly ruthless against those who mess with her or her loved ones. But she is truthfully the most loyal person you'll ever meet...as long as she considers you a friend.

As she is only fifteen and her love life it limited to romance novels, she has not really had the chance to figure out her ideal[i]type[/i] of guy. Boys are a complete mystery to her, and in the past she has tended to shy away from them. In most cases she would be oblivious to flirting. She has had a crush on only two guys in her life. One was a french boy who she met on vacation, and was convinced he was the most perfect guy in the world, before she caught him making fun of her cousins gap teeth, which mad her hate him instantly. She poured a bucket of mud over his head the next day. The other crush she had, was a guy at school who confessed that he liked her. But the only reason she liked him back could have been because he was always so nice to her.

She lived here with her lovable father Magnus, her beautiful mother Cassandra, and three sisters Joan, Albany, and Kimber. Overall it was a happy caring environment, and she spent much of her time reading, writing, drawing and playing Wizard's Chess with her dad. Not that she was ever any good at that game. As a little girl she liked to eavesdrop on her older sister's conversations, help her mother in the garden, and watch her father carve wands. She loved pretending to be a professor. She would line up her dolls to be her students, and get her little sister to pretend along with her. Sela also loved pretending to fly, and mixing the soaps and lotions in the bathroom with mud, juice and other things. Brewing potions was what she like to call it. Being just minutes old she showed signs of magic, unlike her older sisters who were a bit slower to show theirs. At age eleven Sela got her letter from the institute. She was so happy to finally be going. She had become sick and tired of seeing her older sisters get to go every year without her. Sela had many of the qualities of each house, some more strong then others. In the end it really came down to Warren or Good. When the flame swirled black and red it it was kind of surprising. Sela had had no preference about what house she wanted to be in, but she kind of expected she would end up in Tituba like everyone else in her family. The candle knew Slea's true self before anyone else did, as she dawned her red and black Good uniform. Her first year was spent mostly studying, and following her sister Albany around. She learned quickly and excelled mainly in Potions, Herbology, and Charms. She got very high marks in all classes, except for flying and Transfiguration. Flying just seemed to not agree with her, and for some reason Transfiguration had proven the most difficult. Second year came around. The Peregrine ride to school was fun, seeing as she had finally made some friends with two other girls in her house, and a Bishop girl named Heidi Jones, who would become one of her best friends. Sela tried out for her house Quidditch team. She was trying to be more like her older sister Joan who had been the Tituba seeker four years in a row, and had been adored by all. Failing miserably, Sela fell off her broom and broke her arm in two places. She spent the rest of the year studying and reading books in the library. She joined The astronomy Club that year making friends with a few others. She ended up with top marks in all her classes, though just barely when it came to Transfiguration. Thankfully a friend in Warren house had helped her study and taught her a few tricks. Near the end of her second year she chose Divination and Muggle Studies for her extra classes. The summer before her third year, she spent with her extended family and bratty cousins, at the wizard resort in France. It was a nice brake from school, and she was happy to be around her family. That was one of the hard things about school, leaving behind her little sister and parents every year. The last month of the summer she spent in Scotland with her grandma Yaxley. That was the summer she learned to knit and got to ride horses at the muggle neighbors farm. It was her first true interaction with muggles, and their curious world. Muggle Studies would later become one of her favorite classes. After the summer ended she returned to the Institute for her third year. Her first trip to _____ as a third year was fun. Most of her friends spent the entire time giggling over boys or wondering around Risinger Wizardwear. Sela spent her time looking around inside the book shop, which was a place she could easily spend hours in. Near the middle of the year she had noticed that a 5th year Warren boy, had taken a liking to her. Sela found it amusing and was secretly flattered, as she never found herself to be that pretty compared to her older sisters and Heidi. They only went on one date, if you could even call it that. It went well, and nothing embarrassing nor awkward happened, but Sela felt bored chatting about Quidditch and other sports, the relationship didn't go any farther then that. She sometimes felt that all she did was study. She wanted an adventure like the ones she read in books. It was summer, and puberty was in full swing for Sela. Mood swings, and boobs basically ruined the summer. Her oldest sister got married, and moved all the way to Australia with her new husband. Then her father closed his wand shop for good. He got a job as a Arithmancer, at his fathers company. It was sad watching her father give up his favorite thing to do in the whole world. He had been a Wandmaker since before she was even born, but apparently he had made to many dangerous and defective wands over the years. Business had not been good, and then when he was finally slapped with a lawsuit, he thought it best to let his passion go. Kimber was going to start her first year at the institute so Sela spent a lot of the summer answering her ridiculous questions. It was a summer full of change. Fourth year was spent mostly preparing for the O.W.L.s. sometimes with her friends and other times alone. She watched her younger sister, Kimber, be sorted into Bishop house. She pretty much new that she was going to be in Bishop, for her personalty alone, was everything the typical Bishop student was. Sela got passes from her professors to enter the restricted section, instead of sneaking in like she had done the years before. She spent many days reading over as many books as she could in the library. All the changes of the summer had taken its toll, and she was having a hard time that year. School was different to, and many of her friends had changed over the summer. Throwing herself into her studies was the only distraction. Potions class was becoming her favorite, and she secretly worked on trying to make her own unique potion in her spare time. Though this undertaking seemed to be going nowhere. Sela did accidentally ended up enhancing a cauldron of the [i]Dreamless Sleep Potion[/i] during class. Adding a few unnecessary ingredients that had not been listed in her schoolbook made the potion more coma inducing rather then dreamless sleepy. On a dare Heidi drank some, and the poor girl ended up fainting and staying in a catatonic coma for the next two weeks. Sela lost quite a few house points for that incident. When it came time for Sela to receive career counselling from the Head of Good house, it occurred to her that she had no idea what she wanted to be or do as a career. It was suggested to her that she pursue being a Potioneer or do something in the arts. Her professor said that she could pretty much choose any career she wanted, because she has such a bright mind and curious spirit. Trying to create her own spells landed her in the hospital more then once that year. A month before school ended she got the sad news that her grandmother had passed away. Summer again. The whole family was off to Scotland for a month, as to help pack up and sell Grandma Yaxley's house. After passing away she had surprisingly left behind quiet a bit of money, and centuries worth of stuff on her home. Sela's mother worked as a Spell Registrator, but with the money Grandma Yaxley left her, she finally quiet her job to pursue her love of magical gardening. Sela also stayed at Heidi's House for two weeks, with her muggle family. She introduced Sela to muggle tech and music that summer. In Sela's opinion cell phones, texting, and google were basically muggle magic. Now she is a fifth year. Her 16th birthday is in two months, and she is contemplating whether to join potions club or Magical Creatures Club. [/indent] [hr][hr]
