Benedicta Vern VI, Esq., 29, was born on the 21st of September, the almost-precise date of the Autumnal Equinox, called 'Mabon' and 'Festival of the Vine' by the ancient pagans and druids. Consequently, she was thought to overwhelmingly special by her ancient and pure-blooded family.
And she, growing up, hated it.
She hated the extravagent praise she recieved every time she made a quill wobble by accident. She hated the lessons on magical theory and pureblood ideals that she had to endure. The only thing that she took any pleasure in was the Flutterby clipping that her mother had gotten her for her eighth birthday. Unlike most small children, Benedicta found plants far more interesting than animals.
At eighteen, after she graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (where, by the way, she excelled at Herbology), Benedicta returned home, gathered up her Flutterby bush and clothes, and moved to America, where she got a multitude of piercings and tattoos. She studied magical plants for eleven years, at which point she decided that she needed a real job, and not one where she worked behind a counter at the pizza parlor. She she applied for a job at Catclaws.
Can you guess which one she got?
Hair: Short, magically dyed green. Was originally blonde.
Eyes: Naturally moss-green.
Weight: 176 lbs.
Height: Precisely 6'0"
Piercings: 16. Six in each ear, one in her bottom lip, one in her right eyebrow, one in her navel, and a tiny stud in her nose (right).
Tattoos: Large, magical tattoo of a rearing basilisk on her back. Muggle tribal markings on her face, ankles, wrists, and around her stomach.
