Personality: Personified by the wind, Philippa Quartz is an utmost chilly character. The type to leave an unwelcome prickly presence on one's skin, she is not strong internally or physically and these insecurities have led her to the reputation of preying on the weak. Whether with skin-peeling insults, or sinister mockery, Philippa will say anything to gain the upper hand and break the students around her. For this reason, the girl is often seen in petty fights around the corridors with students who have grown sick of her petty taunts, or if not that, with a group of weak-hearted followers who were even easier to break than she is.
In Philippa's case, or Pippa as she prefers, when she is challenged she becomes most sensitive. Because of this, the young girl disallows herself to be challenged, which is how she initially became so disagreeable at all. In those cases where she is beat, Philippa goes through cycles of being immensely moody before all traces of her former self return and she looks for revenge. Either she is explosive or emotional during these times, and her friends know that neither of these things is desirable.
Keeping her emotional deficiencies behind a well-kempt and devious mask, Philippa comes off as any other girl of her type; mean, disliked and indifferent, relishing in a calm and collected exterior. Professors, though aware of her clashing personality with most students, have yet to see her poor character as she puts admirable effort into her studies. Though, sooner or later, Philippa will get caught in her web of deceit, and someone will find her weakness, she is currently content with her facade.
Appearance: Her cat-like eyes are a piercing trait, a narrowed muddy gaze with yellow rings near her pupils. They express her emotions poorly because they are merged into slits when most see her, eyebrows quick slashes above them. Her hair is an orange-honey colour, though when the sun is at its weakest, it is known to darken to almost coffee. Kept long and well-groomed, her hair matches her personality well: stoic, severe and yet, glossy.
History: Philippa's history is a mundane slice of life. She has a total of four sisters and two brothers, the boys being the youngest in the family and twins. It took five girls before the Quartz family was finally granted a male heir; however now the problem stems at there being two.
Philippa, the youngest female, has had an influence of four older sisters to taint her. Though Elizabeth was a Hufflepuff, the rest were competitive with each other and Philippa grew in quite a hostile environment. Tiring quickly of her families escapades, she was all too happy to succumb to Hogwarts after obtaining a most precious acceptance letter. It is because of her older sisters, paying her no attention and commanding her for eleven years, that Philippa has grown a superiority complex in the first place. It is also because of their cracking insults and disinterest that she is as sensitive also.
Her brothers, William and Andrew, are only two years of age and not of any concern. In fact, Philippa rather dislikes them as they stole her parents' attention quite profusely, and she misses being the youngest very much so; if only for the doting her parents gave her.
