### Early life

Juliette Evie Astor was born on the 6th of May, 2002 in Marseille. She grew up in Vieux Port. Her father, Nicodemo Astor, was a construction worker and wizard born in Sicily, Italy, while her mother, Octavie Seydoux, was a witch born in France, and a florist working near the old port. Juliette is of French ethnic origin on her mother's side of the family; she stated to a psychiatrist that her maternal grandmother was the child of a secret affair between Juliette's great-grandmother and a muggle-born from the old port. Her grandmother wore pastel colored flowers in her hair, to accompany her fair complexion, as inspired from several magical tales of old. Juliette credits these traits and background for her family's having a "history of etiquette", stating, "I always found it peculiar that [my grandmother] had the obsession with appearing flawless and perfect, essentially, to appeal to the image that society had created, and the demands it brought with. Tryng to fit in with everyone's expectatons must've been incredibely exhausting." In another conversation with her therapist, she stated that her father made the same demands towards her mother, stating that her mother "[her mother] had to appear flawless, else he'd get angry, and incredibly scary. We were lucky to have her protecting us from his rage." and as such, once their mother divorced their father, Juliette and her brother ended up in a dangerous situation, one that almost cost them their lives, for their mother failed to take them with her. Juliette's older brother, Lorenzo, ended up in the criminal web as result.

Juliette stated that she doesn't remember much of her youth, nor how her magical abilities were discovered, yet her interest in magical arts increased at age eight after seeing an artist work near the old docks on a moving-painting. When she reached the age of ten, her father enrolled her into an Art Academy for Gifted Children, mostly to, as Juliette stated, "get rid of her." Juliette attended the Academy in *Paris*, and an institute for Peculiar and Magical children, Marseille, just four years after studying at the academy for art in Paris. In a 2016 therapy session with her therapist, she stated "I went to institutes and academies so he wouldn't have two kids around, despite them being difficult on children that don't fit their norm. I wasn't the classy and gifted child that was expected of me to be at those schools, yet my father paid, and I had to stay." After her first graduation, Juliette was enrolled in her second academy, though with the same notion that her father preferred to have none of his kids at home, something that Juliette seemed to tell her therapist several times, with mention that she didn't remember all the previous times of mentioning it. Juliette studied at the French academy until 2020, which would mark the year of her transfer.

### Personal Life

> *"Sadly, you went somewhere I can not follow."*

Juliette resides in New Marston, Oxford. In 2020, she was forced to leave her mother's house after her untimely passing, which occured prior to her transfer to England.

In a 2020 conversation with her therapist, Juliette stated the differences between the rules of her father and those of her mother, seeming fond of the gentle care her mother showed: "Don't do drugs, don't go out alone at night, as long as you show me respect you'll receive it in return, don't raise your voice in this house without good reason, stop trying to fit the mold of the perfect woman." Further stating how difficult she found it to unlearn all the habits and personality she adopted around her father.

In the file written by several psychiatrists that treated Juliette over the years, they reveal that Juliette suffers from selective mutism, severe dissociation, and other diagnoses as result of her past. She underwent urgent care and treatment for several injuries in 2010, though a police report was never filed, the medical staff were forced to sign an NDA after Juliette's release from the hospital.

## Personality and Traits

> *"You've a heart of gold, don't let them take it from you."*

When she was younger, Juliette was a slightly more hot-headed and eager little girl, with a strong desire to prove herself. She, after her father's behavior worsened, grew more silent and obedient. She often displayed worry and eagerness towards her brother, believing that if he could behave the way he did, and seemingly get away with it, she could too. Juliette never used the terms of loving someone when applicable to herself or something she loved, as she had difficulty expressing it after the things she went through. At the age of eight, Juliette was a calm and dreamy individual, people easily gravitated towards her because of her warm and bubbly personality, as well as the contagious way of calming down.

As an adult, Juliette her view often differed from the other mage-kind, as she felt that the interests of society shouldn't be placed above the wellness of individuals, especially those of the mugglekind. Juliette is a reserved and kind individual, though even if she's noted to be reserved, she doesn't shy away from speaking her mind if she likes something. Juliette uses medication to keep certain mental ailments at bay, which grant her a calmer mind instead of living in constant fear after hearing loud noises, or if she smells certain scents.

Despite never telling someone they love them, nor telling them she loves them back, she does show this love in her behavior, often hugging something or asking if they need help with something. She often accompanies people she's fond of, or makes them something artful.

## Appearance

> *"With glittering doe-eyes, a heart of gold, and a smile that shines like the everlasting sun; she truly is the epithome of everlasting youth and innocence."*

Juliette is a short, slender girl with fair skin. She has endearing doe-eyes in the shade of a brighter maya blue, with shoulder-length, white-blonde hair that frames her face with gentle curls. Her bangs are often curled away from her eyes, or instead pinned back with a clip that matches her outfit of the day. Her mother always noted her smile, mentioning how her smile might even brighten the most depressed individual's day, accompanying her glittering eyes. Often compared to a never-wilting flower.

Juliette wears dark cast-iron boots, adorned with silver ringlets and chains. Her warderobe itself is varied, though she seems to prefer baby blue dresses that graze her knees. Her favorite dress carries a light faded blue hue, and grazes her knees. It has a small flower-pattern embroidered on the entirety, revealing her shoulders in an endearing manner. The waist is sinched, while the skirt itself flows loosely around her thighs, appearing to flow like water when caught by wind.

On special occassion, Juliette wears natural-looking makeup, often a neutral tone for her lips and mascara.

When she was younger, she'd often run around barefeet, with white dresses that trailed behind her as she ran; the front shortened. She used to wear her hair either loose, with the same curled texture, or in long braids that just about hovered above the ground. She wore studs in her ears which matched her outfits, yet rarely seemed pristine until she hit the age of 8.

## Magical Traits and Progress

> *"Seek strength, the rest shall follow."*

Due to Juliette attending two different institutes, one being the current White Manor, Juliette received plenty training for both **offensive** and **defensive** magic, by several champions and skilled wizards. Currently, even with hear thin arsenal and small resumee, Juliette is a skilful witch, which also grant her the possibility of high accomplishment later in life. Though mostly without proof, it's been noted that Juliette was able to hold her own against the French champion Duelist several years ago, leading her professor to believe she might be one of the youngest witches yet to be able to conjure a corporal Patronus later in life. Weither the last statement is true remains to be confirmed, for Juliet has yet to learn the needed spell.

— **Charms:** Juliette has demonstrated considerable talent in charm-work. In her most recent duel against her brother, she was able to cast a full-fletched protection charm against his attack from point-blank range, rebounding his attack towards him. Prior to this, she shown the ability to juggle between spells effectively, without getting visibly exhausted.

— **Defense Against the Dark Arts:** Due to, seemingly, being a natural talent for protective spells, as well as a sponge for information, Juliette has since been a growing talent within the DADA catagory. Though she doesn't seem to love fighting against curses and other ill-intent creatures and spells, Juliette has perfected the usage of Protego, as well as other counter-magic spells that aid in lifting curses and magically induced ailments.

    — **Transfiguration:** Despite her innate talents for protection, Juliette has proven to be a tad bit too aloof and dreamy to be able to perfectly manage Transfiguration. Though, as time went by, her abilities and capabilities have grown significantly, albeit slowly. Since Juliette is on medication for several ailments of her own, the control over Transfiguration spells seem to be stunted somewhat, leaving her legging behind her peers for a while.

— **Flying:** Because of her love for the wind and anything that flies, Juliette took on an early interest in being able to fly and soar through the clouds, always dreaming about the freedom the birds seem to have. Because of her interests and fondness, Juliette was often found on the fields with her broom, practicing and soaring whenever she could. Just like her charm-work, Juliette seems to have an innate talent for flying, though it seems to be stunted whenever she wears her metal boots.

— **Divination:** Because of her natural dreaminess, and just like with transfiguration, Juliette seems to be a bit weaker in Divination. Often dreaming away or looking more at the results and remarks of others, Juliette was forced to take extra classes on her former instute, as they stated she performed poorly. In more recent years, the extra guidance paid off; Juliette is able to hold on to her focus a bit longer, despite it being one of the least enjoyed classes.

— **Duelling:** Due to her endless lessons and "brawls", Juliette is one of the strongest contenders the current generation seems to offer. Holding her own against professors, being able to effortlessly juggle between spells and protection, her constant curiosity and alertness during a duel, all mixed together with a sense of grace and elegance. ~~Tenzij random gedaan moet worden, help mijn ziel.~~

    — **Healing Magic:** As shown in her progress over the years, the classification of spells that Juliette excells most in, would be healing magic. Having learned Vulnera Sanentur in a frightingly short time, with the first half of her studies being merely reading on a train, as well as other restoration magic in her arsenal, Juliette demonstrated delicate control and poise in her conjuring. Contradicting her shortcomings when it comes to the likes of Divination, the focus Juliette excudes when she's healing someone is the complete opposite; even the loudest scream couldn't tear her away from her patient. She's said since her first healing spell that she'd apply for a N.E.W.T. on the subject, wanting to be able to heal even the most fatal illnesses.

Juliette has shown her acquity in this class when it came to showing interest in enhancement and healing potions, claiming she'd rather help those that might feel hopeless too in their lives. Juliette succesfully created an elixer to induce Euphoria after overhearing the recipe for it once, following it up with a perfected and market-grade Moonseed potion. As expectation stands, she might be able to partake in a N.E.W.T. for this topic.

Aside from her acquity within the subject, Juliette dabbles in experimental potions to soothe her curiosity for the unknown. She can often be found in the gardens or the classroom itself, writing and brewing away. If you catch her at the right time, she'll be wandering around with a basket she's woven herself, stuffed to the brim with ingredients and flowers she might've found in the garden, without discerning a lot weither or not her ingredient or flower has some flaws to them. Every potion she creates, she studies thoroughly. From shelf-life to consumption, everything will be written down in her notes, as well as proper labels for everything she owns.
