Heather Naeva Augustin [17th may, 2003] is a French witch born in Lyon, France. She originally lived there up until the age of sixteen when she gained the state of orphaned. Shortly after she emigrated to the United Kingdom, to receive the right education at White Manor.

## Personality and traits

Heather could be described as a kind person, who does not show her insecurities easily to the outside world. She offers help, smiles often, makes jokes whenever she can and is not sick to make some smalk talk. She was after all a normal teenager, but with that she also had ups and downs. During her youth she developed to keep her feelings close to her, which now often leads to anger hidden inside which she does not know how to control. It often explodes during conflicts, duelling, or when something does not go her way. But overall she is a good friend, who takes time to talk and hang out with others. She is sadly vulnerable for social contact, and can easily be persuaded to do things. She loves to be loved.

She however does occur to have a hero complex which sometimes kicks in, especially during more dangerous situations. She can switch up from being a scaredy cat to the one who shall take the fall.

## Physical appearance

*Dear diary,*

*My father used to say that I look like my mother. He told me that I have her eyes, but not just the colour. Speaking that he saw a reflection in them which he has been missing for a long while now. It makes me feel comforting, yet strange. I believe his words, saying she used to be different. ~~But I cannot help but seeing her differently.~~*

*He described my hair by the autumn leaves. When the weather changes drastically to a cold and bitter time, But that colour is the only warmth the trees still wear in their coats before it finally lets go. It almost sounds poetic, thinking of this now. But I understand now where he comes from, Winter is definitely not my favourite season after all. These words are one of the only things left in my memory of him.*

*I love you dad,*

*- Heather.*

## Backstory

Heather was born at the 17th of may, 2004 in Lyon, France, to a half-blood mother and pure-blooded father. The two were happy with the gift of a daughter, even if she was actually an accident put onto the world. She grew dependent of them in her first years of life. Having them around, filled with love. But as soon as Heather grew up to be an actual child, becoming the age of four, her mother Helena stopped caring. Some say it was just the love for a new born child which got lost upon the way, but Heather felt the hatred which filled her mothers heart.

And her father truly tried to be the best a man could be. She actually loved her father, he cared for her and read her bedtime stories right before falling asleep in his arms. There were only good memories lasting in her mind as she grew up. His warm hands holding hers as they would paint or wander around in the big Wizarding World. But she felt isolation, when she wasn't with him. Just the cold heart of her mother while she stayed at home. But of course you are wondering where it all went wrong. This wasn't a school for the stable ones after all. The postpartum depression didn't just destroy Heather's mom herself, but also her father who had to live with the long term effects. One day he simply disappeared, leaving Heather behind in the arms of her mother. Heather never truly understood why he did that to her, and thus anger started to brew in the childs heart.

So you see, it couldn't have been easy growing up when she was left behind with her mom. Helena associated bad feelings and thoughts with her own child, leaving her to grow up and be responsible all by herself. But the anger never left, and eventually paid its debt. After years of ignoring her feelings, the anger surfaced in an explosion of emotions after a heated fight at home. Leaving a massacre behind, Heather fled till she finally reached the arms of Adrian Pierce, a wizard who saw the magical tragedy from afar. He apparated to the young girl and brought her to a new home; The White Manor. Here she would learn to control her feelings, and leave behind what was once her life. Hopefully losing the guilt built up in her heart.

## Magical traits and progress

Duelling

Duelling is Heather her favourite subject, with excellence and expertise she shows her ground when standing on the duelling platform. Some say that her emotions get in the way of duelling, but she tries to turn it around to a strength of hers. In classes it is seeable that it is her favourite subject, as she never lost focus once during spellcasting. She likes the rush of adrenaline when she duels someone, especially against Lorenzo. She feels truly challenged by his way of duelling and fast thinking. Making it more than ''just'' spellcasting to knock the other person off the stage.

    Pierce contacted Heather to seek her an internship for duelling, making sure she can develop the most in her favourite subject. She currently started her first internship ever at a professional duelling club.

Heather and Lucien did not start off at the best foot, but that is alright! The two started to get more along as time proceeded.
