PATRONUS: Swallow (bird)
LIKES: reading, romance, watching quidditch, milkshakes, chocolate chip cookies
DISLIKES: loud music, arrogance, overly angry people, herbology, wearing shoes
STRENGTHS:
She's very clever. Scarlett likes to think of herself as a jack of all trades but knows she is a master of none. That's why she likes being in Hufflepuff; she doesn't like feeling trapped into being good at one thing. She is very inquisitive and loves to ask questions. Her heart is in the right place and she's genuinely sweet. Her temper isn't fierce or short and she's very patient.
WEAKNESSES:
She is terrible at standing up to herself. Her self confidence is low. She's desperate to make those around her happy. She tends to let herself get left behind in order to make her friends and family happy. She's easily convinced. Scarlett tends to also be kind of naive.
DETAILED PERSONALITY:
She’s a sweetheart, through and through - even if she does lack a certain sense of social grace. While she's rather smart - and really quite witty - she prefers to be more on the quiet side. Until, of course, something strikes her curiosity, at which point she will not hesitate to ask every question she can think of, in hopes of fully understanding everything there is to understand. It has been said that she belongs in Ravenclaw (not in Hufflepuff, where she is), but despite her intelligence, Scarlett knows that there are more important things in life, like friends, family, and finding love.
She’s a bit of a hopeless romantic, though it goes against every logical bone in her body, and though she isn't a slut, Scarlett isn't a prude, either. She approaches relationships and people the same way one would approach math or science; with the utmost curiosity and a certain eagerness to learn. Her greatest aspiration in life, much to her family's dismay, is to become a healer. Her family, of course, expects her to be a good, pureblood wife, one day, which isn't exactly Scarlett's idea of living. In any case, at the moment she is simply trying to get through her NEWTs, in hopes that she'll be able to apprentice to a healer next year - even though her potions mark is a bit dodgy.
PLATFORM NINE AND THREE QUARTERS:
She was late. Well, not late, but she was behind. One of the last people on the train, Scarlett was having a hard time finding a place to sit. She had a few friends but the shy Hufflepuff wasn't great at dealing with new people. She was wandering down the corridor, hoping to find someone she knew.
