Biography:
Vanya Borovsky has spent her childhood surrounded by the mystique of magic, though her early years were bittersweet. Her mother, Viktoria, was a former Slytherin known for her sweet temperament and family name. Viktoria lost Vanya's father, Nathaniel, in a mysterious duel just before learning she was pregnant. Though she never met her father, she feels connected to him through the stories her mother shared and the few magical trinkets that remained from his life. Despite her loss, Vanya's enthusiasm for her future at Hogwarts is boundless. She often dreams about the Sorting Hat’s decision and wonders if she’ll follow in her mother’s footsteps into Slytherin or find her own path.

Growing up in a magical household, Vanya had shown signs of early magical ability. Her mother nurtured these abilities, all while preparing her for the complexities of the magical world. Vanya loves reading about magical creatures and spells, often spending hours poring over her mother’s old textbooks, especially enjoying books about potions and magical history. Vanya has a mischievous streak, but her heart is kind. She is fiercely determined and unafraid to speak her mind, a trait her mother both admires and gently warns her about. Vanya knows Hogwarts holds the key to her destiny, and she can’t wait to take the first step into its enchanted halls.

→ SAMPLE ROLEPLAY.

Option I:

The dungeons. A place eleven-year-old Evangeline had not yet travelled since her arrival at Hogwarts.

A place she really was just fine with not knowing; but it was too late. The dare had been accepted, even if it had been done in fear of being kicked out of Gryffindor, like the older girls had said she would because Gryffindors were supposed to be brave.

The air changed instantly when she hit the main corridor of the dungeons. The dampness was almost too much for her and she instinctively took a deep breath to avoid the sensation of being suffocated. There was also a sour burning smell which Evangeline assumed was from many, many Potions lessons.

Further and further she walked, her steps so slow and gentle they made no noise against the stone walls and floor. The feeling that she wasn't alone crept up her spine and raised the tiny hair on the back of her neck. Shivering, Evangeline wrapped her arms around herself. Suddenly, she missed the warmth and comfort of the Gryffindor common room. The fire was always going and it made her feel at ease.

Why had she let those girls talk her into this? She was only eleven, she didn't have to be brave. Surely the Headmistress would not kick her out of Hogwarts for not being brave.

If only she had these thoughts while being dared to search for the ghost of one Emma Birch, whom supposedly haunted the dungeons. It was not, Evangeline had learned, the place where the sixteen-year-old girl's life had ended but as she had been from the house with a snake as its mascot, it was the place her spirit had returned to. That common room was down here somewhere, she'd been told.

Something - the small blonde girl wasn't quite sure what - but something made her stop in her tracks suddenly. There was a low, dull thumping noise. Or maybe that was her heart beating so loudly she thought it was coming from outside her body.

"H-h-hello?" Her voice was barely above a whisper.

Remembering that she was supposed to be brave, Evangeline tried again.

"Hello! Is Emma Birch here?"

The sound of her own words bouncing back at her off the walls made her jump.

Roleplay Response:
Vanya had heard stories, tales about the mysterious Emma Burch and what had transpired on that fateful day. Her mother, Vik, had woven them gently. A tale that seemed softer than the truth.

Her fingers trailed the cool and damp stones of the dungeons as she explored. The soft rattle of her worldly possessions housed in the bag draped across her body rattling with every movement. A sound. Vanya froze. Eyes adjusting to the dim-lit surroundings as she swore she heard a voice. "Hello?" she eeked out. Frightfully still. Emma Birch? The familiar name in the forefront of her mind as she began to walk again. "Are you looking for Emma Birch too?" she called out to the unknown student. "Hello?"
