## PERSIONALILIJKHEID

Vivian Crouch was a girl who could charm, speak or otherwise think her way around any situation. She did not care for ethics, and her morals were only as justifiable as whatever direction she wanted to shift into. Her quick wits and silver tongue only encouraged her to lie and deceive to whatever extent she desired, believing that her means were justified by the ends. She calculated and thought through all of her occupations and friendships and how they could be of service to her desires, and she did not engage in any conversation that she could not benefit from.

She radiated a sense of allure and self-assurance. Her presentation was poised, almost regal, and she rarely openly conversed with those of lower status. She was brought up within elitist pure-blood circles, and held on to the staunch belief of pure-blood superiority. Because of this, she took pride in appearing unapproachable and proving without using even a single word why she stood above others.

Vivian's cunning ways resulted in a comfortable positition remaining in the background, to be able to oversee and orchestrate from afar. Like hand in glove, her twin sister Anastasia had no problems with taking the lead and acting on the foreground to carry out whatever plan the two of them were brewing. Growing up in a strict household resulted in the pair seeking out all sorts of mischievous ways to satiate their boredom.

Upon her admittance to Hogwarts, Vivian quickly proved to be remarkably talented in the art of potioneering. Though she was intrigued by theoretical subjects, could easily master new spells, and even showed to have a knack for transfiguration, potions was by far her most accomplished endeavor, which, for a person like Vivian, made more sense than anything. In potions, nothing was left to chance. It was about picking the right ingredients, the exactitudes making up the instructions, and the desired outcome would simply follow. There was no such thing as circumstance. It was exactly why, while she was able to stand her ground during duelling, she did not take pleasure in its chaotic, often random nature.

Her natural curiosity and her tendency to grow bored quickly led to her experimenting with potion recipes of her own. Potioneering demanded a certain level of patience, a virtue Vivian often lacked. Instead of silently waiting for the potion to be done brewing, Vivian often took the liberty to deviate from the recipes as they were laid out before her, and manipulate the outcome by her own design the way she did with everything else.

Curious magicks, strange and ancient rituals had always fascinated Vivian. All things uncommon and peculiar occupied her mind. Whilst she was definitely gifted at potioneering, it was somewhat of a gateway to what truly enthralled her; alchemy, a subject she was yet to be taught in, but for which arrangements for a fixed place in class during her sixth year had already been settled.
