Biography:
Clarice grew up in the Dashwood country estate, located on the outskirts of the muggle town of Abingdon Virginia. She lived with her lovable father Magnus Dashwood, Her beautiful mother Liberty Dashwood, who was the oldest daughter of the aristocate pureblood Goodspeed family, and of course her two older sisters Janis and Shelby. She grew up in a happy caring environment and spent most of her time reading, writing, drawing and playing Wizard's Chess with her dad. Any other spare time was spent eavesdropping on her older sister's conversations, or pretending to be a teacher at Hogwarts for which she would get dolls to be her students. She also loved pretending to fly, and mixing the hair products and lotions in the bathroom with juice and mud, brewing potions 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 there's. It was a picturesque life in the American south, and her summers were spent in the riverside village of Starcross, in England with her family at her maternal grandparents home.
When Clarice was eight her mother was accidentally hit by a spell, that caused her to loose her mind, and come in out of a catatonic state every few months. Clarice's father was devastated, as was the rest of the family. After ten months with her mother in bed, and mind lost, it was clear that nothing would fix her mom. So her father at the urging of his parents-in-law the Goodspeeds, sent Liberty to St. Mungo's in England, to be a resident of the Janus Thickey Ward, were she still remains even now. The family as a whole had to adjust to the absence and overall loss of there mother. Her father became so depressed and detached that he thought it best to send his three daughters to stay with their grandparents for awhile. So the girls lived with there maternal grandparents for over a year. Her father after receiving some help for his disrepair, had the girls come back to him after about sixteen months.
At age eleven Clarice got her letter from SWI. She was so happy, seeing that she was sick a tired of being the only one not going, and missing her sisters and cousins all year long, sitting at home alone, with nothing but the cat. When Clarice was being sorted into a house by the sorting hat as a first year, she proved to be a Hatstall. The sorting hat had difficulty choosing a house for her, which was odd for a blood member of the Dashwood line, seeing as they were always 'Rain Birds'. Clarice had many of the qualities of each house, some more strong then others. In the end it came down 'Nolka Nari' or 'Rain Birds'. Six Minutes and 42 seconds pasted before a decision of 'Rain Birds' was made. It was exactly the house she wanted to be in of course, with her sisters. Her first year was spent mostly studying, and following her cousins, and older sister Janis around, she learned quickly and excelled in Transfiguration, Potions, and Charms. Clarice got very high marks in all classes, except for flying. Flying seemed to not agree with her, finding heights to be a fear of hers.
Second year during the carriage ride up to the castle she was one of few who could see the Thestrals whom pulled the carriage, as she had witnessed her grandfather, Phillip Dashwood's death when she was only two, as he fell off the roof having a heart attack. Not that she remember it at all. Clarice tried out for her house Quidditch team trying to be more like her older sister Shelby who was the 'Rain Birds' seeker four years running, failing miserably after she fell off her broom and broke her arm in two places. She spent the rest of the year studying and reading books in library, she had even snuk into the restricted section three different times. She also joined The Potions Club that year making friends with more people. She ended up with top marks in nearly all her classes. Near the end of her second year she chose Divination and Muggle Studies for her extra classes for next year. The summer before she started her third year she spent with her Cousins, Myra, Tallion, and Breckett at the wizard resort in France, visiting her mother in the hospital, and riding horses at the muggle's neighbors farm.
