History:Belongings:
Eli was born to Caden and Peggy Winters roughly 10 years after her two older brothers. She was a bit of a surprise child, but her parents love her all the more for it. Since her birth, she has continually surprised them, from climbing into a tree at the tender age of 4 to rescue their cat, to getting into Hogwarts.
She has always been a bright and engaging child, with a mischievous streak. Before her brother’s moved out, they all had their own room. Once in the middle of the night, she pretended to have a nightmare so her older brother Kale would come and comfort her. After telling her a story to put her back to bed, she asked him to hug her tightly. Not being able to say no to her precocious face, he did just that. Eli had been hiding a pair of scissors under the covers and snipped a huge chunk of his hair off the back of his head, leaving him with a bald spot. Adam had to shave his head nearly bald before returning to school. Now he no longer trusts his little sister with scissors.
Her family is upper middle class, and live comfortably just outside of London Proper, in Brentwood in a fairly large Cottage Style home. Her older brothers, Kale and Adam, have already moved out of the family home, both of them leaving around the same time Eli was accepted into Hogwarts. Both of her brothers are in the Queen’s Muggle Army and fully believe that Eli was meant for the Army as well, or possibly the navy. They are very proud of their little sister for being chosen for Hogwarts even though neither of them managed to get in.
Eli was attending Sacred Heart of Mary's School for Girls before attending Hogwarts and was planning on transferring to Brentwood's School for Girls once she was of age. She also attended finishing/charm classes because her mother had hoped one day that she would marry into the Royal family. Eli hardly ever speaks of this, because it makes her mother look like a crazy fool.
When Kate and William were married, her mother threw a small party at their home and almost yanked Eli from school to attend. Eli refused to go, but in the girls dorm she made sure to do a little dance, because now her mother’s crazy dreams were dashed of her marrying into the Royal Family. The next day, she received an album from her mother of photos of Prince Harry. Eli and her friends took the album and threw it into the lake. Eli plans on telling her mother it was lost on the train.
General Biography:
Eli is a very happy go lucky girl. She comes from a loving Muggle family, who were shocked and pleased that their daughter was chosen to go to Hogwarts. She is the youngest of 3 siblings, and is a little spoiled at times, but appreciates justice and fairness. She has a lot of courage packed into her small frame, and is adventurous at times, but also enjoys spending her free time reading, or being with friends.
Since attending Hogwarts, she has made a few close friends, and keeps them close. While she doesn't mind meeting new people, she sometimes has a hard time finding the right words to say to others, and her humor is often met with silence. That hardly ever gets her down though and she is very upbeat about life in general. She goes home on the holiday breaks to play her video games with her two older brothers, as well as to enjoy her mother's home cooking, and see her Muggle friends.
Also since attending Hogwarts, Eli has discovered a troublemaker in herself she did not know existed. After mastering the Wingardium Leviosa spell, she began to make things float in the common rooms of the dorm, including books, quills, ink bottles, effectively freaking out her fellow students. On more than one occasion, she has earned a detention for sneaking out of the school, or being in places where she shouldn't be. When first attending Hogwarts, she was a bit rebellious about her uniform, refusing to wear the whole outfit. After nearly losing the House Cup because of the amount of points were subtracted from her refusing to wear her uniform during class hours, she stopped being rebellious about it. Instead, she wears fashionable and strange socks, and shoes that are out of place, as well as bits of jewelry that she keeps tucked away under her uniform.
When it comes to romance, she has little to no experience, though is secretly a romantic at heart. She has only had one boyfriend up to this point, and broke it off with him after their summer because he was a Muggle and she didn't want him to worry about her cheating on him while she is away at school. She believes family, true love and friendship are the most important things in life, mostly due to her upbringing. She is slowly learning that there are hard things to deal with in the world, and is accepting and adapting quite well, though she has seen little of the darkness that is in others hearts.
Eli has a secret longing to be a professor at Hogwarts, but is not sure if she will ever make a good teacher. Her favorite classes are Charms, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Her least favorites are History of Magic, Ancient Runes and Arithmancy. She is currently considering changing one of her classes for the new class that has just started this year, Ancestral Magic Studies. The rest of her classes include Astronomy, Herbology, Transfiguration, and Potions, all of which she does well in, but not nearly as well as Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Pet: Male Snowy Owl - Given to her as a joint gift from Kale and Adam - named Darcy
Broom: None at this time because of her fear of heights, but has hopes of conquering this fear in the future.
Other: She owns a sneak-o-scope, which she received as a gift from one of her close friends. She rarely looks at it and keeps it locked in the bottom of her trunk. She also owns the book Tales of Beedle the Bard, and Hogwarts, A History by Bathilda Bagshot, though she has not finished reading either of these books yet.
