Personality Profile:
Most would describe Lianna on first observation as the shy and quiet girl who sits in the back and hardly speaks a word. And generally even after first glance one would find this to be true. Lianna has a confidence issue, she generally believes her questions are not worth the time of the instructor, nor her opinions warranted or wanted by those around her.
However much she maybe a shy and quiet girl, behind the scenes and ever silent eyes she is fiercely loyal to her friends, family and even strangers deserving of some support. However since her first year at Hogwarts she has started to creep out of the quiet shell she had once imprisoned herself within, the surroundings and people no longer foreign, the nervousness of speaking no longer having hold.
Student Background:
A loving couple obtaining their first as well as only child, what day could be much better? On July 17th, 1994 at a hospital in Manchester, England, Lianna Marie Maylorn was given to her parents to hold for the first time. The ever joyous parents, Jacob and Michelle Maylorn, were like many magical couples that had emerged over the past generation, one magical parent and one muggle. It was her father who was the wizard and while Michelle respected his kind, his lifestyle, his everything, she’d secretly wished for her—for their daughter to not have the magical side of her father’s life so when things started to go awry or unusual within Lianna’s life, her mother chose to find some way to make sense of it. Eventually this became impossible and she could no longer deny to herself that Lianna was indeed, a witch. Her father had no quarrel with it; in fact he was overjoyed, the problem came in deciding just how to raise the girl since picking one side or the other could each have its own respective consequences.
The easiest solution was to raise her with the intent of the best of both worlds. And so the couple decided that the ‘controllable’ part of her life would spent at a muggle primary school rather than confining her to a house with a tutor and…all that extra mess that came with it. This way the girl had a chance to make friends and lead a ‘normal’ life. However friends would prove hard to come by seeing as one’s magical expenditure was affected by one’s emotions. It didn’t take the other children long to realize that the ‘quiet girl’ was the cause of the random acts in the classroom. You know the like, objects falling without a breeze, pencils floating; simple things that were common in the wizarding world were both scary and complex outside of it.
Her parents—more so her father, had tried to explain to her what she was and for awhile she’d treated it like a fairy tale, like such things, people, like herself couldn’t exist. It was what came with living in a muggle neighborhood, with a muggle house, and leading what was basically a muggle life. By age ten however both Lianna, and apparently the muggle world had taken enough of it, enough of her, and her last year before a chance at a Hogwarts letter were spent with a private tutor—a witch at that would prove to be the biggest enlightenment and most amazing explanation her parents could produce.
Now obviously typical wizarding children by this time already knew of magic, its consequences and how to control it, Lianna knew little of all three. The ‘best of both worlds’ her parents had tried to give her had become mostly her mother’s without intention. The woman’s name was Ethel Glenorrani, a woman in her mid to upper 50’s who had little to teach Lianna that she didn’t already know about, except for the topic of the magical world. The woman had little time, but did her best and as Lianna neared her eleventh birthday the famed letter for Hogwarts that her father had been hoping for since birth arrived.
With that letter came two things. A magical life by all contexts and a life she would certainly never forget—even if her first year carried little understanding of the world the letter had just initiated her into.
Lianna's first year went by with a blur, though she found the magical world to be a most confusing but interesting place. Sorted into Hufflepuff, Lianna quickly found the veil of shyness she'd held all her life rapidly being pushed away both in and out of classes, finding friendship in one Abigail Bennett almost immediately. As the year progressed her shyness vanished more and more, her and Abigail became closer and closer, and over all she just plain opened up. Something that even her father had been unable to her to do around the neighborhood, a neighborhood where children abounded, where it should have been easy. It was oddly enough, like magic.
Everything changed however with the murder of Hogwarts Professor Avery Thorne. While Lianna had never actually known the woman, it still unnerved her that once one left the walls of Hogwarts one could possibly be targeted for death. Mind you, Lianna knew nothing of the woman's relatives nor her status in wizarding society, but her father did, and her father told her not to worry about such things. Muggles were killed just as often, and, just as randomly...and so she would return to Hogwarts the following term.
Her second year went pretty much the same as the first, classes, sleep, food, classes, sleep, food, repeat, repeat, repeat, weekend! Occasionally small but large things would come up like her first real ball around Halloween and first real, but proved pointless crush. The real kicker, again came at the end of the year but she wouldn't find out about the truth behind it until after term was concluded.
Rumor had been that a handful of students had been acting most...odd, and even as far as disappearing for a few days and then returning remembering...well, nothing. It had all been rumor until one issue of the Prophet. And ironically it too involved a Hogwarts professor, well, former. Robert Shaw, professor turned...evil? Either way, the article said he'd hurt Drew, well, rather kidnapped Drew with a possibility of having used at least one of the Unforgiveables. But, Drew had been back by the end of the year, a bit reclusive perhaps, but back. Either way, the concept that a Hogwarts student could be taken of the grounds, regardless of the time and violations to school rules around it, scared her father to the point where she was nearly pulled from Hogwarts...but she wasn't.
And so her second term ended, and the summer would deal its' own numbing blow. Abigail wouldn't be returning to school come next term's beginning. She wouldn't be returning at all. So her third term at Hogwarts brought on extra classes, new opportunities, a little bit of fear, and left Lianna short one best friend. It had all the symptoms of an emotional relapse, and relapse is exactly what she did.
Third year started off bleak and slow for the Hufflepuff. Her only real best friend was gone (because Jase Payne so didn't count), she had few acquaintances and the ones she did have were ironically in the graduating class for that term. Everything inch of progress Abi had helped her make the past two years was shattered with her loss. Over the summer, although the two had remained in touch through owl post
