## Introductory paragraph

Zoë Posie Foreman is a Half-blood witch born on the eleventh day of may 1952, in Oslo, Norway from mother Josephine Foreman (neé Edwards) and father Egil Foreman. The Foreman family is a renowned Pure-blood family resident in Norway, but over time the extremes of Pure-blood superiority in the family have decreased steadily. Egil Foreman had fallen in love with a muggle-born witch, namely Josephine Edwards, resulting the birth of their only child, Zoë. The family always wholeheartedly embraced magic as one would expect, thus Zoë grew up with the knowledge she were a witch. As described by people around her, Zoë is an individual exerting pretty agility, carrying elegance in every movement and having a certain charm complementary to her perkiness. Even though she seems like a confident individual, she is quite insecure. Zoë speaks with poise and is determined when she has a certain goal. The family has found a new home in Great Britain resultant from the ongoing war. Due to her former residency in Norway, her blood status is a well kept secret in the house that is infamous for their treatment of blood traitors and muggle-borns.

## Characteristics

Described as naturally charming and graceful, Zoë exerts pretty agility. Her movements seem to glide smoothly through the air as if it aids her motions. More times than not, she is bright and carries a smile on her face, thus where her nickname comes into play. Zoë is quite extroverted especially since she has grown into the person she has become today. Even so, she can be passionate when it comes to matters like school, there is nothing that can stop her from getting what she wants. When she feels disrespected she becomes indignant quickly and reacts fiercely.

Zoë hides her lineage and blood-status from her housemates, whom judgemental behaviour she fears. Zoë seems to be conflicted in her behaviour towards muggle-borns, seemingly because she is not entirely aware of her own norms and values. She tends to act cold towards them since this is the way she was brought up. She is not consistent in this behaviour and can be uncontrollably friendly. Zoë is a brilliant witch that does well in school, contrary to what her housemates may believe. Furthermore, even though on the outside she seems like a perfect student, she likes to get into all sorts of trouble.

## Physical appearance

Zoë's smile is a signature trait anyone recognises from afar. She has dark blond hair that she wears down often, swaying gently behind her back as she walk through the hallways. Her blue eyes are complementary with her fair skin tone, hiding behind fluttering eyelashes soaked in a coat of lightly applied make-up. The young witch reaches 165 centimeters in total and has a slim fit posture with slight curves that accentuates her femininity. Her face is distinctly shapen by a well defined jaw, symmetric facial features like plump pink lips, bright eyes and bushy eyebrows. Most of the time she wears comfortable clothing in rather bright colours, although inside Hogwarts she tends to opt for dark and elegant clothing.

## Biography

### 1952-1963

Zoë is born in Oslo, Norway dating May 11th, 1952. As a child, Zoë grew up holding the knowledge that magic existed. Her father was employed in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement as a Junior Auror at the Norske Magicdepartmentet. Her mother was less accomplished, working a normal stationary job. Father and daughter seemed to spend a lot of time together getting to know her magical abilities. Her mother was merely glad Zoë got the chance to experience it, even though she was jealous of the additional time the two spend together.

From eleven onwards Zoë started attending Durmstrang Institute, located in the far north of Europe. Durmstrang is very specific in their ways and it indefinitely shows in their admitted student body consisting of only Pure or Half-bloods. Half-bloods would be essentially viewed as less and impure. Especially in first year, Zoë's bright personality was prominent. She met numerous friends in the first place, not expecting the judgements that were threatening in. The young witch developed these relationships more deeply, consequently exposing Zoë's mother's blood status. Even though her father's side were Foremans, many came to despise her. Additionally, Zoë's eloquent speech was a trait to be jealous of. The few that did indeed despise her for all reasons findable, quickly came to make remark whenever possible. This gradually worsened into actual public bullying, prank and persecution. This affected Zoë greatly. Her behavior seemed to change, her perkiness dismissed and her constant smile degraded over time. She began to doubt if there actually was a difference between bloods, if the Pure-blood supremacist were right all along. One day, after sitting in class all day the group of bullies shoved her down on the ground, her knees brazing the stones. Something inside of her began to resent her mother for ultimately cursing her in a way.

### 1963-1965

The first two years at Durmstrang Institute Zoë seemed to quiet down in her behavior and keep a low profile. The resentment towards her mother undeniably grew, distancing Zoë from her. The tormenting at school continued, even though Zoë was laying low. In the summer just before third year started something had changed inside of Zoë. She started to rebel against the oppressors, with witty remarks and confidentely stepping through the school as if nobody could touch her. Young, but already excelling in her classes, she came to join the Duelling club at Durmstrang. Not unexpected, she got challenged to duel one of the bullies. ''Professor, are you this dubious about my abilities for you to send me to defeat this filthy girl?'' These words chimed into her ear, strengthening her willpower to defeat them. With raw power and a sense of calculated move, Zoë succeeded in quickly defeating the oppressor.

### 1964-Today

When chaos struck, the rash decision of moving came along with it. Since Mr. Foreman was entirely devoted to the ministry during her employment which had now fallen, the family relocated to the United Kingdom. There, Mr. Foreman continued his work to escape the chaos that engulfed the family's residency. Zoë now had to change schools, attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy. Adapting to the situation and maybe even preferring Hogwarts over Durmstrang, Zoë got sorted into Slytherin house. This felt like a new start for her. However, the house's reputation quickly came to reach her ear. As a half-blood she constantly felt anxious about what they might say or think due to her previous collisions at her former school, as well as her mother's blood-status. The logical thing in her mind, would be to hide her true identify. She contemplated her decision, but the following question rose in her mind. How could someone possibly entail that a Norwegian immigrant was not in fact pure blood? She had no intention of experiencing the same stress again. In the summer before fourth year, she had met some new friends along the way, even ones that did not care about the thing she was most worried about.
