P a t r o n u s
♛    Lioness

Self-control, strength, nobility. Fairness, courage, patience. Lion people tend to be charismatic, prideful, protective and peaceful unless challenged. They are very tactical, well aware of their own strengths and weaknesses, able to judge a situation and act to their best advantage through wit and skill.

W a n d
♛    Ebony wood, Phoenix feather core, Reasonably supple, 12.7 inches

This jet-black wand wood has an impressive appearance and reputation, being highly suited to all manner of combative magic, and to Transfiguration. Ebony is happiest in the hand of those with the courage to be themselves.  This ebony wand is the perfect match for Adeline since she holds fast to her beliefs, and is too stubborn to be swayed lightly from their purpose.
Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord.Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners and are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.

C h a r a c t e r

[Charming - Graceful - Sincere]
Adeline is a girl who carries herself with grace no matter the situation as a girl of her status should, and portrais beauty on both the outside as well as inside. Her captivating looks and speach will easily keep the interest of most people she talks to. One of her best qualities is her fondness of her family and friends, and they will describe her as having a very sincere side as well.

[Intelligent - Loyal - Sharp tongue]
She is an intelligent person, both in class and outside. She knows her strengths and weaknesses equally well, and with her quick wit is able to act in her best advantage. She is relatively peaceful, unless challenged. As said herself, one of her best qualities is her sharp tongue, with which she often has the last word. She is an extremely loyal person, especially to her loved ones.

[Aristocratic - Pressured - Stubborn]
The young marchioness comes from a very aristocratic family, and was raised this way as well. Being filthy rich and of pure blood, she can sometimes even come over as a bit arrogant, altough she doesn't mean it. This behaviour turns out to be more of a defense mechanism to oblige to her parents' will as much as possible, since they have always pressured her to act this way. This has made her very stubborn over the years, although she would rather show her stubborness at hogwarts than at home.

Adeline is a beautiful girl, and she knows it. She has brown slightly wavy hair that falls loosely over her shoulders and is as ferocious as her own character. She pefers carrying it like this too, altough she is sometimes also seen with a high bun that accentuates her facial features. The most striking thing about her are her piercing blue eyes that will make people drown in them without her saying a word.

She has a slim built, with long legs and all the right curves, which she likes to show. Like any lady of her status, she moves around gracefully, almost catlike. Her uniform is as expected of the best quality, and her cloaks are often engraved with her initials or family crest somewhere small. When not in her uniform, she enjoys wearing clothes that hug her body in the right way, but always stay classy. Adeline has a love for colours in red, gold and white tones.

H i s t o r y

Adeline was born as the second child of Lord and Lady Hertford, after her brother Miles. The Villiers family can be described as a very prestige and noble. Both Adeline's parents are from pure-blood wizard families, making her almost as pure-blood as possible. This is something that her parents found very important, and from the moment the girl was born, she was taught the importance of it. Apart from her whole family consisting of wizards, the Villiers are also extremely wealthy and and of noble blood. This resulted in the fact that Adeline had everything she needed as a kid, and everything she wished for.

She grew up to be as beautiful and graceful as her mother, with her father's wit and sharp tongue. When she was eleven, she received her Hogwarts letter, finally. Her brother, being five years older than her, had always spoken highly of the school and the education he received each year. Adeline has a very strong bond with her brother. Since they were raised strict and as posh as could be, they almost never fought in fear of their parents' anger if they would do so.

Just like her brother, Adeline got sorted into Gryffindor, making especially her father very proud (who's house was also Gryffindor in his time). She immediately made a name for herself, that got stronger over the years. Adeline was always quite popular, and was very content of that fact. She almost always acted as a lady of her status should, but could sometimes come across as a bit obnoxious. Her friends are the ones that bring up her more sincere and friendly side.

Adeline showed lots of promise, receiving good grades overall. She excels in Charms and Appiration. One of her favourite things to do is dueling, and has shown to have a growing talent in non-verbal magic.

In her third year, tragedy struck. Her brother Miles was in training to be an auror at the ministry, much to her parents praise and love. However, when he was on a mission one time for the ministry in up north in Scotland, he was attacked by werewolves. He got struck in the fight, a seemingly fatal wound. The last thing that was seen of him before he disappeared was him falling of one of the cliffs. When looking down, he was nowhere to be seen, as if he had never fallen.
Upon hearing about the incident, her parents started an excessive search that lasted for over a year. As of her sixth year, the search was called of, and the family was left in grief. Her brother's diasappearance had gravely effected Adeline, making her more bitter than before. Altough they called of the search, especially her mother never gave up hope. As of her fifth year, she finally started showing her true character again, much to the relief of her family and friends.
