**BEFORE AND AFTER**
How Did You Come To Be/Childhood:
Haven is a pure blood born in the late winter in London.. When Haven was seven, her mother died in a car accident. A month before, on Haven’s birthday, her mother gave her a locket that Haven now never takes off. She’d always known that her husband was a wizard, so Haven knew she was a witch. But Haven’s father became worried when he found her floating out of reach in the kitchen after her mother’s death. Haven had a hard time adjusting after that and became a tomboy of the sorts. Being raised by her father Haven became a tomboy of the sorts. Sure, she still loves to dress up pretty every now and then and do her make-up lightly, but Haven really enjoys to play sports and just laying back. When she was ten, her grandmother gave her a Siamese cat her grandmother gave her named Starlight.
Coming To Hogwarts:
Being accepted at Hogwarts was a savior for Haven. It was a chance to get out of all the familiar memories & find herself again. Their father took Haven shopping in Diagon Alley where she got her Dragon heartstring, rosewood, 9 1/2 inch wand. At Hogwarts, it took time to adjust and learn to stand up for herself more, but learn she did. He was glad to have his daughter going to the school, though he knew it was a pretty much given thing.
During her summer holidays, beginning when she was thirteen, there was a boy she was close with named Kyle. He appeared to be really sweet and kind of an outsider-like her. He was really into music, which is one thing Haven really enjoyed. They connected. But his connection was a bit obsessive. He began to constantly call, write and follow her-wanting to know where and who she was with. When she went to school Haven thought she was free but as soon as she was home for the holidays it got worse. When he tried to get her to have sex unwilling, she then became fearful. And even more withdrawn then before. One night, when Haven was fifteen, he broke into her house when her father and brother were out. When they came home was her savior. Haven was in pretty rough shape and had to spend a couple nights at the hospital. Kyle was sent to prison for at least twenty years, and can be up to life. Though Haven still lives with that fear that he’ll come back.
After that, Haven divulged herself into her journaling more and started kickboxing as well as other self defense lessons. When she came back for the Christmas holiday and then the following summer holiday she spent her free time working with her kick boxing instructor. It took her plenty of hard training, even when away, to build up the exterior shell she has now. This new shell she’s built is working against her a bit though because she’s been slowly hiding certain things from even her closest friends. She also hasn’t dated since Kyle as well. Especially since that summer she had to go to court along with kickboxing and preparing for her sixth year. The trial was especially trying since Haven didn’t even want her father there, let alone telling her best school friends about it.
Haven is now sixteen and in her sixth year, and is back in school. She hasn’t told anyone what has happened with the attack nor do they know about the muggle court as well. None of her friends know-only her brother. When in her dorm at night, she just listened to music while working on assignments, drawing or writing in her journal. The year before she had began to distance herself from her friends a little. She still hung out with them, but she kept more things then she used to from them. Now she is in a limbo where she’s trying to get back that closeness with them as well as cope without letting anyone know what happened.
What do you want to do after Hogwarts:
Haven hopes to become an astrology teacher once she is done with Hogswarts. Whether she teachers at Hogswarts or somewhere else is something she hasn’t decided yet. She also hopes to maybe come to terms with what happened to her and maybe start over.

Role-playing Sample:
Haven was headed to her next class of the day. It was one of those crisp autumn days which made her walk around with a long sleeve top underneath her school top. It didn’t impede with her uniform, so she saw no harm in it. Her books were balanced on her hip along with the couple in her school bag. Even with her break, she tried to bring all her books with her to get some class work done. Not many of her friends had the same breaks as her so there wasn’t a whole lot of socializing to do.
Her second class today was charms. Not her favorite, but also not her worst. Haven still didn’t get why she had to take that to get everything she needed for astronomy done. Then again, she hadn’t really bothered to ask and instead went with it for the time being. This past summer had been stressful enough for her without having to bother the head of her house with questions. The end of the last school year had been especially straining with getting ready for her O.W.L’s and then the trial for the summer, she was surprised she even got the grades she did. But now that all the unpleasantness was behind her a bit, she had to start rebuilding some friendships. Last year she had distanced herself from her friends a bit. Sure, they had still gotten together, but Haven had held herself back a lot. This was the time for her to try to rebuild what she had lost while hoping that she didn’t ruin anything too bad.
She heard the bell ring just as she made her way through the door. After Haven found her seat, she settled her bag on the floor as well as the books she didn’t need. As she tried to keep her eyes on the teacher, she shuffled her hand through her bag to look for some parchment and her ink well which was somewhere near her feathered pen. Today’s lesson was going to prove to be just as lucrative as the last, so Haven sat back and leisurely began to take notes. She scanned the room quickly and found one of her old friends who she smiled and nodded at. Later she was to have lunch with her friend Jason and discuss their summers. Yes, her first steps to repairing her life where kicking off, even if not smoothly, in her mind.
