Professor Matilda Tippet

=== Academic and Professional Career ===
Professor Matilda Tippet attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in her youth, where she was Sorted into Ravenclaw House. She became best friends with a Hufflepuff student, now Professor Xander Gliss. While attending, she studied for a career path with the Ministry, favoring Potions and the Dark Arts. Matilda graduated Hogwarts with top marks, and interned with the Ministry of Magic for 2 years while studying more intense forms of the dark arts, before she began her work in the Department of Mysteries. She worked under the Department of Mysteries for 7 years as an Unspeakable. Matilda had an intense passion for the unknown and mysterious, and often found her work to be quite demanding. She developed a habit of dedicating herself to her research, and was a member of some pivotal projects. 
After an injury during one of her projects, Matilda decided to leave her more intense projects to her understudies and apprentices, and pursue her love for teaching. She became a Professor at Hogwarts, teaching Wandcraft and Wandlore as an elective class to 5th years and up. She still spends her spare time working on small assignments for the Department of Mysteries, and she is and always will be an Unspeakable.
=== Personality ===
Matilda Tippet is a very friendly and easy going person by nature. She has always preferred small gatherings and not a fan of crowds or parties, and keeps a small circle of friends. Professor Mauve and Professor Hunt are among the circle. She is friendly, but never fake, towards everyone and prefers to keep negativity at bay in a kill-them-with-kindness attitude. Don't be sad, or she will get mad. Matilda loves to read, and loves to travel. If she is going to any activity or outing, its because her friends invited her and she just enjoys their happiness. She is most happy when she is learning something new, and listening to her friends being passionate about something.
