Disapproves of half-measures and lukewarm convictions, she has a preference for decisiveness above all. Proud, with an oftentimes unbearably rigid personal code, even to those close to her, Elespeth will nonetheless have no compunctions getting her hands dirty or resorting to underhanded means to achieve her goals. As with all Slytherins' she is highly ambitious and naturally enjoys the feeling of success. She has an inherent feeling of superiority to others in large part founded on her own admittedly prodigious abilities. Naturally this also translates to highly competitive feelings aimed towards those she perceives as her equals and (very rarely) her superiors. Respects the diligent and goal-oriented, and is willing to cooperate and assist those that prove capable of keeping up with her. [color=39b54a]ℌ𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔬𝔯𝔶:[/color] The only child of purebloods Felix Macbain and Esme Graham, she naturally has a long and rich family history, both literally and figuratively. Born into affluence and more than just a little blue-blood in her veins, she was raised with high expectations - her father being the Head of Magical Law Enforcement (his election into the role is considered an outstanding feat, given his stereotypical Slytherin background in the wake of Voldemorts' reign of terror), and her mother being well-known for her ironfisted control of magical real-estate in Scotland and her production of magical apparel, the most popular of which are her series of invisibility cloaks. Her family background being what it is, many people had high hopes for what she could accomplish. Where most children would have been cowed by the sheer magnitude of these expectations, Elspeth thrived in them. With a drive bordering on near obsession, she started studying magic long before she was allowed to hold a wand. Such was her zeal that even her parents found it disconcerting. Many times she would put herself in danger attempting to force magic out of her. Much to the surprise of everyone, she oftentimes succeeded. When her time to enroll at Hogwarts came, she threw her all into her studies, consistently enjoying top marks and never once conceding her place at top 3 of her year level. As a consequence, her social circle is abysmally small, something which she intends to rectify in the coming year, however with her O.W.L's coming up, there is some doubt of her situation changing any time soon. Intends to achieve all 12 O.W.L's to make a case for her being Head Girl by her 7th year, though she has no interest in pursuing all of them. Beyond that, she intends to become an Auror, like her father before her, and eventually inheriting the position from him.

The only person to seriously challenge her in the dueling club, as well as her main competitor for the number 1 spot in grades. Respects him, but beyond that is not familiar with him. Personally, they are distant, and given the rumors she has heard of trauma with the Death Eaters, she does not expect him to attempt to get any closer to a member of the Slytherin House, which she considers a shame.[/i] [hr] [b]James Dalton:[/b] [i]Elspeth as encountered him frequently, given that their fathers' work closely together. Has a small modicum of respect for him, given his status as a prefect, and Quidditch team captain, but other than that, doesn't hold him with in any sort of regard.[/i] [hr] [color=darkgreen][b]Piper Ward:[/b][/color] [i]Elspeth considers her fellow Slytherin as a burgeoning talent in the art of dueling, and believes that if she seriously takes it up, she would be a good contender for the top. As of now, she finds practicing with her a fascinating exercise in mental preparedness and lateral thinking.[/i] [hr] [color=lime][b]Thomas Korevny:[/b][/color] [i]Among everyone in the castle, Thomas is probably the person Elspeth has spoken to the most. Aware that his attempts at befriending her have more to do with her father than any kind of personal attraction, she does not actually mind the interaction, merely disliking that she is the [/i]target[i] of it. While disapproving of his needlessly antagonistic behavior, she holds him in higher regard than most others, noting that despite his attitude he is earnestly dedicated to self-improvement. She considers him a capable dueler, if not quite someone she considers competition yet. Is personally not as worried about how he will perform as a Prefect, though she is keeping a watchful eye on him just in case.[/i] [/hider]
