Biography:

Being the first born (by a matter of seven minutes) of one of the wealthiest families in the country, Isabel, together with her twin Marko, lived a comfortable life. They were pampered and groomed because it was expected of them to take over not a kingdom, but a conglomerate.

From the moment that they were born, they were sealed with a fate entangled with both the magical and the muggle world. They were to become one of the most powerful wizards and witches of their time, and one of the most influential and well-known businesspeople there is.

Everyday starting when they were three, they had been forced into lesson after lesson regarding etiquette, music, business, almost anything that could help mold their minds and alter their perspective on things. They were taught that first is first and it gets all the glory, and second is nothing which gets what's left behind, which is usually nothing. They were taught to always excel. To always strive for more, and not just be contented.

It came as a shock however that when their parents soon discovered that one of them could not do magic. That one of them, is in all horrors, a squib.

Marko, her twin brother, couldn't do magic. Her parents, the formidable duo of witch and wizard, were furious and angry at Marko for being what he is. But of course, they couldn't do a thing about it.

To preserve their image, they continued on acting like nothing was wrong. Everything was normal. If one found out, he was to be threatened and payed in order to keep quiet.

They were eating dinner that night when the letter arrived. Of course, only one letter did arrive.

Isabel was slicing and cutting her steak to small pieces when a barn owl fluttered inside, landed in front of her, and dropped a letter.

"About time." Her Papa exclaimed. "Open it, Isabel."

Isabel looked at Marko, who was also looking at her and he gave her a nod, before opening the said letter.

Dear Ms. Ayala,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Term begins 01 September. Currently, students have gathered at the Summer Campus. Your admission is joint for both the school and the summer campus, and we encourage you to spend your summer there. Should you choose, you may also visit our Elsewhere board via the Floo Network to visit or purchase school supplies. We look forward to seeing you at the Castle.

Signed below was the Headmistress' initials and surname.

She was expecting this letter all her life so she wasn't surprised when it finally did arrive. She pity however her brother who sat right behind her. She looked at him again while he was sullenly eating his dinner. Then she looked at her parents, first her Mama and then her Papa. They were exchanging a glance, and something flowed between them. An understanding.

"Listen, sweetie," Her Mama started, the gentler of the two, "Marko is also entering Hogwarts, dear. Whether the school likes it or not--"

"I am?!" Marko asked incredulous. Then he saw the dagger looks that Papa was hurtling at him, "Sorry, Mama."

"As I was saying, " Mama continued then glanced at Marko who was now quieting down, "Marko is going to enter Hogwarts and you dear, " She said looking at Isabel, "Are going to help him."

The girl looked from one parent to the other and realized there was no going out of this. She obediently nodded. "Yes, Mama."

That was four* years ago. Now, the summer before their fifth year, they prepare themselves for another whole year of lies and cheats and deceptions.  They only have three more years to graduate.

The question: Could the twins handle it? Could Isabel handle it?

Marko's answer: Isabel should handle this or its no future for the both of us.

Isabel's answer: One year at a time.

The supposed answer: Yes. Yes they could.

→ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Note: This section is optional, and is up to you to complete.

House Request: Slytherin.
Isabel's personality and background would rightfully fit in with the others'. Besides, the Ayala family isn't going to take no for an answer. Slytherin, or they move Isabel to Durmstrang or Salem.

Personality: Isabel is your usual pampered princess, though she's more of a Queen rather than a princess. But she's built not to run an empire or a kingdom, but to run a conglomerate. Being the next heir to the Ayala Inc., the fifteen (or sixteen) year old was taught since she was three to give her best and be the best in every endeavor that she pursues. An overachiever at such an early age, Isabel behaves like an adult even when she was young. She is higly sophisticated, but she's also a faker. She may appear all goodie goodie and friendly, but don't be fooled by the charming smiles, because behind that, she's planning to unseat anyone who's coming her way.

A pureblood elitist is not hard to find, and Isabel is one. She has high standards. Isabel isn't disgusted with muggleborns, muggles, or haflbloods, she just thinks that she's higher than them. She may treat them as servants because to her they are. But she will do this of course, in her smiling face. She's worst than the most transparent elitist because you wouldn't even know it until she decides that she doesn't want you anymore.

Though, even if she doesn't have an all too appealing personality behind the curtain, she does have a soft spot for her twin. She loves Marko, and even though helping him is one hades of a cross to bear, she will do it. And she will do it not because of their parents, but because of her pure love for him.

Appearance: With her 5'6 height, slender body, and divine face that's always smiling, no one could just turn her away. Cascading brown locks and intelligent gray eyes dominate her face. Her athletic body is the envy of her friends. She has an air of sophistication and style all around her which even makes her all too appealing to look at.

Please reply to one of the Sample Roleplays below.

The Slytherins had lost.

All because of that dumb second year who didn't even know how to score a bloody goal. Why was he in the team anyway? Isabel thought as she headed for the Main Hall. The Gryffindors were celebrating their victory and you could hear their chants. It was maddening. This was suppose to be their -Slytherin-  Third time to win the game, but that loser of a boy ruined their chances.

Isabel was already in the team since she was in first year, and the Slytherins always win. Always. Except two years ago when the Ravens beat them. But that was hardly a fair battle. The Ravenclaws were cheaters and they wanted to do everything that they can in order to win. Even if it means cheating. Isabel cursed remembering the last score that the Ravens made before erupting into cheers. Their bloody captain before doesn't even know how to catch one freakin' quaffle.

With her stormy thoughts, it's no wonder that she bumped into someone.

"WHAT! Haven't you ever seen a loser before? Why don't you just take a picture!"

She seemed taken aback by the response of the guy. She looked James over and realized that he hasn't changed yet. Meanwhile, Isabel in her freshly pressed button down dress, and flats tried to mask her disgust. Then she strengthened herself and summoned up her happy-go-lucky side. So its true, that when you talk about a person, he or she mysteriously appears.

"I would, but you're not a loser, James." She said amicably. But inside, she was fuming and she wanted to scream to the boy too. How dare you miss! How dare you made us lose! How dare you even joined the team! How dare you! Outside however was another matter altogether. "Nobody's perfect, James. Everybody's going to forget what happened. You just wait and see." She convincingly told the sophomore.

"Here, come join me in the Main Hall." She said, but she was just waiting to explode.

Hey Isabel!

Your application looks great. However, I'm curious about something.

How did Isabel manage to keep the fact that her brother is a Squib out of the knowledge of the staff? Magic is a pretty hard thing to cheat.

Please repost your application with the requested revisions. : )

Thanks for your cooperation!
