The entire collection was there that bright day: from cousins to great-uncles. They weren't exactly the largest wizarding family, but Rebecca's parents chose to face "tradition" and fill their house with lots of little witches and wizards.
Her father, Jacob Silvers, had come from an even smaller village where his family ran the bakery, as well as selling enchanted goods to visiting or local wizards. Deciding to continue his family trade, he moved to Kenilworth to live with his fiancee at the time, Evangeline Peterson, Rebecca's mother. She was a bright young witch who came from a family that traced themselves back to a wizarding family from Morocco, but had moved to England after they had almost been revealed by muggles. As well as creating another bakery for the muggles in their neighbourhood, the pair decided to focus on the protection of magical creatures in the local area, collecting a small zoo in their back garden. With the growth of this collection, the pair moved, with their eldest child, to a small farm close to the town, with the pretence that they would be harvesting grain to use at their bakery.
Their first child was a girl named Malory, who joined Hogwarts to be top of her class whenever she could. She dedicated herself to knowledge, and grew fascinated with the origins of magic and spell making. This brought an influx of magical material into their house and Rebecca was from a young age surrounded by her sister constantly practising and experimenting with magic.
Their second was a boy they called Daniel. He was more interested in his parent's fascination with magical beasts and spent most his time treating them. By the time he was sent to Hogwarts, he was well-versed in the care and treatment of many magical creatures, and extended his knowledge for care and treatment of humans as well.
The third child was a quieter girl, Clara. Unlike her elder siblings, who chose to specialise, she learnt everything about anything and became a walking encyclopaedia. Constantly spouting knowledge, she also took it upon herself to teach Rebecca and her younger brother Christopher everything she knew.
Surrounded with intelligent, successful siblings, Malory knew she had to work hard to match their achievements and make her parents proud. She absorbed anything she came across as well as she could and would often stay up late trying to understand what her siblings talked about. As her elder siblings went off to Hogwarts (leaving Rebecca alone with a toddler for several years before it would be her turn) she grew closer with the muggle children in her neighbourhood and got a fascination in all the technology they had invented without magic.
When her father left to serve the war, she also took his place in the bakery, helping to create bread and cakes and serving behind the counter. Her father returned a few years later with an injury that meant he could no longer fight, but she continued to work beside him, learning about the adventures he had abroad and gaining a fascination for travel.

Personality: Rebecca is very determined to match and beat the achievements of her siblings, working hard to become at the same level as them. She wants to be able to take on any challenge and enjoys the thrill of doing something she doesn't know or something different. She applies herself very hard in her passions and in things that she isn't interested in, so it is often hard to tell what she truly enjoys. However, when doing something she does find interesting, she become more chatty and curious, seeking to learn more and bring others to work with her and connect their ideas. She seeks adventure and discovery, in the wizarding world, but also in the muggle world, where many of her friends lie. She is very inspired by family and feels that following their lead is very important in life.
Appearance: With Moroccan roots, Rebecca has tanned skinned and dark, thick hair with she like to tie up in a brightly coloured cloth. Her eyes are bright and brown, and she is on the rounder side from eating too many pastries and cakes from the bakery.
→ SAMPLE ROLEPLAY.Please reply to one of the Sample Roleplays below.Rebecca sat in the garden sketching, or trying to. Her younger brother had sent her such a pretty picture of their bakery and the cats and the more exotic creatures, and she had felt it right to return the favour. However, it would have helped if she could actually draw. Biting her lip with her tongue sticking out ever so slightly, the girl pushed another strand of hair into the band of orange swirls that had pulled the rest up and looked at her picture some more.
The castle was lopsided, the roof appearing to fall off completely. The flowers were a mess of random circles and squiggles in a desperate attempt to draw all of them. And the boy...
Rebecca looked up as she scrunched up her ninth draft, realising she hadn't noticed the arrival of the boy. He was digging around in the flower bed with some mad desperation, clearly not caring for the flowers he was tearing up, and destroying. But he was probably a fifth or sixth year, and Rebeccas wasn't exactly certain she should be telling an older student what he should or should be doing.
Noticing her, the boy turned while wiping his runny nose all over his robes. That would explain the sneezing. She assumed it was an allergy, judging at how close he was to those flowers.
"I'm sorry," she apologised quickly, after she realised he wasn't happy with her watching him, "I was just drawing and you got in the way..." She gestured at the clumps of paper scattered around her, before gathering them up and stuffing them in her bag. She rose from the bench she sat on and came closer, so they wouldn't be shouting across the garden.
"Can I help you with something?" she asked, mimicking his words without trying to sound sarcastic, "You seem to be... looking for something?" That sounded about right from the way he was tearing through the flowers. "Do you want some help?" she continued, moving to the ground next to him with bright eyes, ready to do whatever he asked, "What are you looking for?"
