Reno Featra

## Information

### Backstory:

Reno was originally a student from America who moved to England, transferring to Hogwarts her 4th year. Her mom was a Wiccan, and her father was a wizard.

Reno was a warm and friendly girl, always making the best impressions with her peers and her teachers. She was far from a ‘teacher’s pet’ but would always make a point to be nice to all her professors even if they weren’t nice back.

Yellow was her favorite color, and she always made it a point to wear an accessory to go with her assigned house: Hufflepuff. But contrary to the stereotypes put on Hufflepuffs, she didn’t make cookies (she was actually a horrible cook. She even admits it herself.). She couldn’t ever braid friendship bracelets properly. And she didn’t own an abundance of scarfs. But nonetheless she had all the personality traits of a Hufflepuff and the drive of a Hufflepuff. Besides...the Sorting Hat was never wrong. Right?

Come around Reno’s seventh year, she was only a few weeks though the first ‘semester’ of her year, before she mysteriously disappeared, along with her parents.

What happened next was something that made history, but was never released to the press in any way shape or form...

Reno didn’t return until close to the end of her seventh year. Something was off about her now...

She never smiled anymore.

She never laughed.

She never spent time with her house mates.

She never talked to her professors even if they asked her what’s wrong she never answered them.

She looked different. Her once long curly red hair now black as night. Her green eyes lost of color, being a stormy grey.

She just wasn’t herself...

Those that did know Reno found themselves drifting away from her. Seeing as she never really talked to them anymore. Those that were close to her, struggled to reconnect with her after her reappearance.

Reno’s professors decided enough was enough and confronted the headmaster about it. That’s when they learned what had really happened to her. Why she was no longer the ray of sunshine they all knew.

A secret meeting was set up between he professors to decide what needed to be done. And so when Reno came back for her eighth year, she was \*resorted\*...

Blue became a new part of her clothing style. Subtle accents of the color appearing on her casual clothes outside of classes and school. She would keep to herself now. And soon enough, she blended so far in, she was just another lost face in the crowd.

She spent most of her time in the library, Astronomy Tower or different rooftops of the castle alone. She did graduate Hogwarts being one of the top students with some of the best grades, but again...she looked so different people hardly recognized her.

Now as an adult, Reno moved back to the states to practice and earn a teaching degree. She taught at Ilvermorny for a few years before deciding she wanted to go back to Hogwarts. Now, Reno has returned to Hogwarts as a professor. She’s strict with her students, but teaches her classes well, and has little to no tolerance for students that are disruptful or disrespectful towards her or their peers.

Having studied Paganism and Wicca religions, she chose to teach an advanced Divinations course and a Modern Magic course. She teaches her students the art of Tarot readings, pendulum work, modern spell work, sigil creation and casting, as well as a little modern day remedy work.

When it comes to conversing with other professors, it’s fairly minimal from her to others. Reno grew up and even graduated with some of the staff that she works with now, but even with that fact she still generally keeps to herself. But if any of her fellow staff are in trouble, let alone if her students are in need of aid, she never hesitated to step in and lend a skilled hand.
