Weaknesses: Flying, swimming, sensing evil in others unless painfully obvious, properly expressing herself at times, too trusting, too innocent, handling her anger once it's unleashed, dealing with tense or dangerous situations

Aspiration(s): Balance aspires to become an active member in the ministry in an attempt to make a change in the magical community for the better, making it a place more accepting of those not born as 'purebloods'. She also has an affinity for medicines and health care, and wishes to explore that path as well.

Fears: She is absolutely terrified of both flying and large bodies of water due to accidents which took place in her first year.

Personality: Balance is a kind, warm hearted, gentle, and generous girl. She's a hard worker, and quite intelligent too. Though she tends to keep to herself, seemingly introverted, she's actually quite outgoing and polite if someone happens to talk to her. Balance can, more often than not, be found with her nose stuck in a book, but all you have to do is say hello, and she'll set the book aside to offer you a soft, sweet smile. She's honest, clumsy, and has quite the innocent spirit. Balance will always lend a helping hand to anyone that needs it, even if they're someone who hasn't been so kind to her. She does have a bit of a temper though, and when pushed to that edge, can explode. Balance's biggest flaw, is most likely, that she's too trusting, and wanting to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Backstory: Balance never knew her real parents. She was adopted as an infant by magical mother, Heather Braveharte, and muggle father, Brian Braveharte. She had been found on the steps of a muggle church in a neighborhood just outside of London. As a child, she was brought up in a muggle neighborhood, unaware of her magical blood. Even her parents hadn't known. However, being that her mother was a witch, and had her own special "lab" in the basement, Balance would often sneak down to watch her mother do what she believed was science experiments. Balance, at the time, hadn't known that the things her mother could do, weren't normal in muggle reality.
Balance attended muggle schools like every other child in her neighborhood, until one day, when she accidentally caused a bully's drink to turn from soda, to dog saliva, after he'd pushed around both her and a number of her friends. When this happened, her parents decided it was best if she changed schools. But her mother was thrilled. Her daughter, despite having been adopted in a muggle community, was also a witch. Heather began to school her daughter in the ways of magic through books and demonstrations, but not long after, they received notice that Balance had been accepted to Hogwarts. Her mother and father were both filled with joy, especially her mother, as she had once been a Hogwarts student herself.
Balance had been excited, at first, that was before she knew about the intense elitism in the magical community. She became the victim of harsh bullying and negative attention by such students at Hogwarts, even in her own house. She's never reported any of the abuse she's faced, however, as she's always lived by the saying 'Do onto others, as you would have others do onto you'. She has simply clenched her teeth, given a smile, and bared the bullying, determined to continue her studies and enter the magical work force, with intent to change these elitist ways.
Balance suffers from night terrors brought on by horrible accidents that happened in her first year at Hogwarts, though she doesn't like to speak of them.
