Personality
[/color][/size]Dahlia is kind, warm-hearted, and helpful. She wont hesitate to stand up for her friends and herself, even if it gets her in trouble. A strong individual, she has learned not to trust many with her feelings or her secrets. Or trust many, period. Since coming to Hogwarts she has adopted only a few of the trademark Slytherin qualities, which is almost inevitable if you end up in that house. Overall, shes very nice, and likes to make friends with other houses. Often mysterious and sly, Dahlia knows how to bend other people to do what she wants. She doesn't do it all the time, however. Slowly and slowly shes begun to use her looks to reach her desires, and without realising it, is slipping slowly into the darkness of her future. There are moments where she notices a change, and handles it badly. She needs someone to help her, inside, but she could never admit that to herself or anyone else.
Appearance
[/color][/size]Slender, Dahlia is exotically beautiful: she has the full lips, the olive skin, the haunting green eyes, and the body. Her dark brown hair hangs in loose curls, sometimes pinned up in a bob, but down most of the time. Shes a normal girl in appearance, but likes to work out and practise various forms of martial arts. A little taller than average height, Dahlia has long, beautiful nails, and loves to paint them a dark crimson. She likes wearing jean and leather jackets, jeans, and cute dresses. Rarely seen without some pretty necklace around her neck, Dahlia is the girl who isn't afraid to step out of the common room without make-up on, yet looks gorgeous all the same.
History
[/color][/size]Dahlia came from a broken, yet proud, family of Gryffindor's. Her father Lucus loved her terribly, while her mother Amy had high hopes of her getting into the house that their ancestors had been. She was a beautiful, happy , one of the kindest you'd ever meet. You can imagine her parents surprise when she was sorted into Slytherin. Even she couldn't believe it. Convinced their daughter was evil, or heading for it, Dahlia's parents cast her out of the family at the tender age of 11. Forsaken, she went to live with her uncle, who was also abandoned. He brought her up to be a strong individual, and eventually she adopted the last name of Drakona. On her 14th birthday, her uncle died, leaving her a vast fortune in his wake. Living life on her own from then on, she spent things wisely, living in his old house. Dahlia to this day wonders why the sorting hat placed her in Slytherin. She hadn't hurt anyone, ever. Her future might very well be as blackened and dark as shadow. Determined to not turn out as the hat predicted, the sixth year has maintained a nice attitude, but that might not be enough to keep her from the very thing she fears most.
{ Summary: Dahlia grew up in a hardcore Gryffindor family, and when she landed in Slytherin, they abandoned her. She went to live with her uncle who had suffered a similar fate, and after he died and left her his fortune, took the last name of Drakona. Shes really nice, but her future at the moment is very, very dark. }
