Personality: Davina is a natural academic and investigator. Learning that be became a witch fueled her natural curiosity about the world into a roaring passion. She has a biting sense of humor and a regular dispensary of sarcasm. As a big sister of two muggle boys, Davina does have a protective and loyal side that is difficult to coax, but fierce when provoked. It brings her to be harsh to those that cross her or take advantage of any kindness she ever displays. This is, of course, only within the last few years. As a newly anointed witch, Davina was excited, friendly and conversational in her first year and the beginning of her second. Since then, she as been less forthcoming with her true self with others.

Independence is something Davina is always striving for. She can unfortunately not rely on her muggle family to show her how to be the exceptional witch she aspires to be, and asking for help or guidance is out of the question. She is constantly reading and observing to figure out who she wants to do things herself, even if she messes up.

Davina learned at an early age that magic is easily corrupted and used for bad intentions, or good intentions gone wrong. She is careful with her own education, and steers clear of those that don't take their magical abilities and their consequences to heart.

History: Born to muggle parents in academia, Davina was brought up in a middle class home just outside of London. She shared her parents interest in literature, the arts and anything new and exciting. She was their first child as a young couple, so she got away with a lot more than her younger brothers did when they arrived. Her two younger siblings turned out to be high in energy and mischief, which consumed more of their parents time than Davina did. Every once in a while Davina would resent it, but she actually liked being independent and trusted. If she ever needed her mummy or daddy, they never denied her and she knew that at an early age.

When the Ministry official came to their home, he was wise enough to come at an hour Davina was allowed to still be awake, but past her brothers' curfew. The 11 year olds eyes lit up when the older man told her parents she was a witch; she was actually reading a fantasy book at the time and witches were taking a leading position in them. Her parents were in disbelief for a few moments, but in due time, they were convinced. After the end of that summer, Davina boarded the Hogwarts Express for the first time. Wide-eyed and fascinated, she spent the first half hour in silent amazement, after that she couldn't stop talking and asking questions. Some of her classmates answered her questions nicely enough, and by the time she got to the Sorting Hat, she knew she wanted to be the best witch, no matter what it took. Being sorted into Slytherin had been a surprise to many, not many muggleborns made it in there, but Davina didn't know enough at the time for it to phase her.

Davina's first year was the best time she ever remembers ever; she learned about this magical world she was a part of and made friends, learned spells, saw really weird things. It was amazing. During the summer, her parents were perplexed that other skills like arithmetic and grammar were not a priority, so they made sure they covered their bases while she was there. Her second year however, is where the dark corners of the magic world slowly appeared themselves to Davina. At some point, she had caught the attention of on Maximillian Thornton. Wealthy. Pureblood, Handsome. Intelligent. He was way older than her, but he had found something fun in slowly befriending her. It was a complex and deceitful friendship, which ended in Maximillian practicing is developing Legilimency skills on her. For months before he graduated, he read her mind, confused it, teased it but thankfully not ruining it in the end. On his last day before he left, Maximilliam promised that it would be Davina who would be seeking him out the next time they encountered.

The summer following her Second Year, her parents saw a great difference in their only daughter. She cried easily, scared easily and didn't play outside like she used to. She went to dance school like she did every summer and begged for multiple lessons. Coming home exhausted, she would shower and head straight to bed. It was the only way she could sleep. Fortunately for Davina, she was only temporarily broken, and has put herself together with the goal of making herself invulnerable to others like she once had been to Maximillian. Now in her 5th year, she is closer to being whole again, though not quite with the same smooth edges.
