Isabel Valenti
Name: Isabel Maria Valenti
More commonly known as Izzy
Age: 15
Year: 5th
House: Ravenclaw
Blood: Pure
Wand: 10 Inch Reed Wood, Augurey Tail FeatherThe Wood:
Reed is always delicate, and a difficult wand to work with. However, its wisdom and intelligence make it sought-after by some. It is almost solely a Ravenclaw wandwood.
The Core:
Augureys, or Irish phoenixes, were once associated with powerful Dark wands, as their cries were thought to signify an upcoming death. However, they were in reality never a strong Dark core, and were more accurately a powerful core for Divinations. Misunderstood students may find themselves bonded to an augurey wand, although these wands are altogether quite rare.
Personality:
Isabel has a sharp tongue for someone who seems to be quite gentle. She is a loving kind and talks to pretty much anyone who appears to be lonely. Izzy tries to see the best in people but knows with some, you cant help. She doesnt judge on first appearances as she knows first appearances can be decieving, but like most people, first impressions do count with her. Isabel has been known to be unpredictable, she'll show up in places you wont expect her to, or do or say things you dont expect someone like her to say. She loves surprising people, but hates being surprised. Isabel is an only child so to an extent she can seem very selfish. Izzy knows she's not perfect, she has her bad moments or hair days like everyone else. Though the beauty of magic is, it doesnt have to last very long. She isnt a crier and hates anyone who turns on the waterworks for stupid reasons. She finds it stupid and pathetic, though out of her nature she will try to cheer them up. Though if they drag the tears on for too long, she will get annoyed with you.
She's a studious sort, she likes to keep on top of her homework so it doesnt pile on her. Izzy has a quick mind, you can tell her something or teach her something and it will stick. Izzy isnt lazy, but she doesnt need to put one hundred percent in her work because her mind, like her tongue, is sharp. Even Izzy has her moments though where she wants to relax, rather than work. Though usually, if you want to find this Renagade Ravenclaw, you'll find her in the Library.
Appearance:
Izzy is a natural brunette, though due to hating her original hair colour, chooses to dye it blonde. Its rather lengthy going to around breast length. Her hair falls in tight waves, though not curls, she hates curls. Izzy likes her hair somewhere between straight and curly. Or, as she says, "Nice and bouncy."
She isnt in your face pretty, though you can tell she is quite attractive. She has a strange kind of beauty about her. Her eyes are quite big and a strange shape but they seem to suit her. The colouring of her eyes depends on the mood she's in, though it usually settles between blue or brown.
She has fairly tanned skin and stands around 5'3. She isnt bothered by her size, sure. People tower over her but she's comfy being her height. Besides, she doesnt think she would suit being tall. She is of slim build, weighing around 8, 8 1/2 stone.
History:
Isabel is half Italian and half American. Quite a strange pairing she knows that and has often been told. Her mother was Italian and her father was American. They met when her father was travelling the world and was just captivated by her mother. He ended up staying in Italy and marrying her.
When Izzy, or IzzyLizard as her dad calls her, was two they moved back to America. Her mother wanted to get out of Italy as she's never experianced any other part of the world so they moved back to her dads home country where the three of them lived quite happily. Unfortunatly, her mother died because of an Illness when Izzy was four, and because both Italy and America held painful memories for the two, decided to move to London.
When Izzy was six, her father met another person who, because of her mother, Izzy took an instant disliking to. Though after time, Izzy and this woman became pretty close and she even accepted her as a step mother. Despite the fact her father didnt tell her about their bloodline, so naturally, when Izzy turned eleven, the letter she recieved gave a shock to the poor woman.
Though things worked out and the girl found it interesting. Now Izzy is in her fifth year, she realises the years are passing quickly and before she knows it she will be old and wrinkly!! Well, exageration, but you know what she means.
