Character Description:
Pale as a ghost, and just about as substantial, second year Ravenclaw Olivia's floaty personality is matched by her looks. Very light, matted, and thin blonde hair covers her face and comes down past her waist, making her seem much smaller than she already is. Overly large robes dwarf her and old knee socks repeatedly slip down to her ankles. Her sycamore wand is almost never seen, hidden somewhere in the depths of her robes, and only coming out when she remembers it.
Personality Outline:
Dreamy and lazy, she usually doesn't pay attention in class, preferring to doodle something on a scrap piece of parchment at the back of the room. She's easily excitable and willing to help people at anytime, but can switch to violence in an instant. That is, if she can stay focused for long enough.
Background:
Mother:
Name: Alyzabeth Torsson
Age: 35
Profession: Bookstore owner (Ph.D. in Psychology)
Father:
Name: Thomas Torsson
Age: 38
Profession: Bookstore owner (currently in England, previously in Sweden)
Siblings:
None.
Country of Origin:
Born in Sweden, moved to London, England when she was 6-months-old.
Heritage:
Muggle-born
History:
Olivia was born in Stockholm, Sweden to the then-exchange-student Alyzabeth Trinder and her love, Thomas Torsson. After finishing her degree in psychology, the mother and daughter pair travelled back to England, with the lovestruck Thomas in tow. After a hasty marriage, various arguments between the Trinders and a desperate Thomas, and a few unfruitful business ventures, the newlywed Torssons returned to what they did best: running a bookstore.
The tiny London bookshop and the street outside were all Olivia knew for most of her life. Having had an overprotective eye on her at all times and intelligence that grew from the books she lived around, Olivia learned to read and write when she was very young. Her head always in the clouds, the little girl noticed details that escaped others with her highly-developed mental eye.
Olivia's first hint of magical ability showed up when she was 7, when her parents found her floating twenty feet above the ground in an attempt to save Baubles (Sr) which, unfortunately, ended in failure. Alyzabeth and Thomas were very excited and happy for their special little girl when the representative of Hogwarts showed up at their door.
