Elly Maersk

And I sit here and gaze, into stillness alone

Our Mother, she was a very wealthy lady from Finland. She spoke all the Scandinavian languages and of course, Danish. She was a beauty at that too, some of us tend to think we got her beauty. But, make no mistake, she had trouble to live through in her life. Much trouble.
For a woman of her beauty, her father wanted her to marry an equally wealthy and equally handsome man. She rebelled for days on end, but that, sadly, got her nowhere fast. An arranged marriage was soon in place. Our mother was deeply upset.
Her days in Durmstrang would haunt her as she had to pretend she was the girlfriend of the handsome guy that her father picked. She got sick and tired of it. She had enough of her father, and wanted payback. And she found it.
There was a certain man who stood out to her, in one of her 5th year classes. That man, later became our father. He stood out to her, not because he looked different or whatnot, but because... he did have feelings for her. He would look at her for days on end, never willing to say anything to her. Then, one day, she drags him away from everyone else.
He complimented her and, well, she kissed him. Kissed him. He blushed. He didn't know what to say. But, he came clean. "I really, really like you." Those are his exact words. She said the same thing.
So, they secretly dated. And one day, our mother came clean to her arranged fiancee. She cheated on him with another guy. Our father. And his reaction... "Actually, I should tell you something. I cheated on you." They laughed, finding it a coincidence how they both cheated on each other, behind their backs. They both admitted that they'd rather remain good friends, instead of arranged fiancees. That didn't stop from speaking to each other, every once in a while.
So, the years will pass, and our parents would get engaged. Fortunately for our mother, her arranged fiancee made sure that the arrangement was null, by marrying earlier than she would. She married the next year, since by then, the arrangement made by her father was now ineffective.
And then, a year later, came the first of us, the Maersk girls.
Is this thing on? Ok. I'm Elly Maersk. Second youngest of the seven. Yes. There's *seven* of us. We all have the same birthday too. Crazy right? Anyways, I was born on September 11th. Nice date right? Wrong! 9/11 ring a bell to anyone?! Yeah. Anyways. My life story.
My family has been friends with the Chambers for a while. Ever since my mom was engaged to \_\_\_ Chambers. So, of course, or families were friends after that whole mess. He had several children though I really hit off with Elliot Rowan Chambers. My best friend. Anyways, we got into all sorts of trouble together. Which coincidently was the cause of my first sign of magic.
I was six years old when I discovered that I had magic. I was completing a dare from Eli to climb the roof. Which I ended up doing of course. When I was on my way down however, I skipped and fell off the roof. When I had just shut my eyes, waiting to hear the sound of my body breaking, I started to bounce. Literally. It soon stopped bouncing once I was close enough to the ground that I wouldn't get hurt, I remember calling for my mom to come quick.
She told me the basics of Magic and that I'd be attending Durmstrang, the local wizarding school. I wad excited of course.
My years there was always in the shadows of my other sisters. I didn't mind of course. In fact, I preferred it that way. I spent time with my books after all. In between my fourth and fifth years, I realized I was crushing on Eli. I honestly hated myself for a while because, what sort of nerd like me crushes on a guy like him? Those doubts soon faced to my subconscious though.

Being extremely shy means she can observe people without others really noticing. So yes. She's a stalker people watcher. That's a thing. However, she can be pretty oblivious to the opposite gender. She spends loads of time doing homework and finds that she enjoys it. And she loves to read. Like a lot. Which believe it or not is a contributor to her personality.
Now she's got spunk. When she walks into a room peoples heads turn (and go back to their papers). When she's with friends and family she speaks her mind and you can't help but ask, 'Is this the same person as the one in class?' No. It's not. Because she treats classes with a reverence. Outside of that, life is her playground.

Each one of her sisters are different yet similar.

Elliott Chambers

None at this current moment in time.

The sad thing about Elly is that she's already in love with someone. She's convinced though that it'll never happen. After all, she's pretty sure he only looks at her like a sister.
