Tianne isn't the kind of girl that would worry too much about whether her makeup is right, whether she's got enough on, what she looks like, whether what she's wearing something that'll impress whoever she meets, no, she's the kind of girl that values comfort over style. It's not because she's poor, and can't afford designer clothes, it's just that she's always thought of brains before beauty, and never actually bothered to restock her wardrobe with expensive dresses, beautiful cashmere sweaters, or something of the sort. It doesn't mean that you'll always find her in her sweats, runners and rags for shirts, it just means that she doesn't usually take much time to perfect her look like some of the other girls do.
One reason that Tianne finds it so hard to find clothing that she likes and would wear around is because of her height. She stands at a mere 5"1', which at her age is the height that she'll be stuck with for the rest of her life, considering she's stopped growing. Her mother is also quite short, shorter than Tianne in fact, standing at an even smaller 4"9', and she seems to have inherited that small stature. With the world now growing so high, with all that chicken that's been eaten, supermodels setting the benchmark for those 6"3 girls, Tianne finds it hard to find pants that aren't too long, dresses that don't reach to her ankles.
But nevertheless, when just around Hogwarts, you can usually find Tianne wearing something simple, something comfortable, like jeans and sneakers, or sweats and runners. She likes to dress up a little when she's going out, or in London, but nothing too dramatic. She wears a lot of dresses, she owns skirts, shorts, comfortable things that still look good.
But her size and shape isn't the only thing that makes her look young. Tianne has the cute appearance of someone younger, with a smile that brightens up the room and a warm expression constantly occupying the space. She inherited her looks from both of her parents, her mothers tanned skin, body shape and curly hair and her fathers big brown eyes, warm smile and athleticism.
Tianne's eyes are big, warm and brown, some saying they're the window into the girls kind soul. They brighten when the girl smiles, as they become slightly narrower with a few lines appearing on the outside of the eye. Another thing that creates the happy, kind persona for the girl is her smile, almost forgiving, mesmorising and well, perfect. She isn't the type of person that will fake smiling, but you can almost always see one across her face. Straight teeth, corrected by the orthodontist, and pink lips, whether she smiles with her teeth or not, she always looks genuine.
The girls hair, thanks to her mother, is a dark brown color and consists of many ringlets and curls. She doesn't usually wear it straightened, on account of it being hard for the girl to do so, as she hasn't quite mastered it, but usually just scrunches a big of product into and ta-da, its done. Usually worn down, Tianne can sometimes be seen with it plaited, french braided, or pulled back into a messy bun or ponytail.

Believe it or not, Tianne is one of the most important reasons not to judge a book by its cover. There are many impressions that can be made by the sixteen year old, usually the right one is hidden away until the person actually gets to know her. Judging by the appearance, she can be thought of as loud, dumb and ditzy, younger than she is, immature, over the top, fake, you name it. From the way she acts, she can be labelled as the freak, the nerd or the dork, the weird girl, or the complete opposite, the popular girl. But that doesn't describe her, not at all.
Tianne may be quiet, but she's only quiet around those that she doesn't know, like very much, or is intimidated by. She can usually be herself, in fact, she is quiet but happy, positive and talkative at the same time. It sounds contradictory, but with some of her friends, Tianne has set a precedent, and she feels that she has to follow that, with being talkative and sometimes slightly over-the-top with them, but she won't go out of her way if she's uncomfortable. It's determined by her moods, really, she won't let anyone decide what she's going to be like for her.
Tianne can be seen as being one of the popular girls, but in her opinion, she isn't. She gets this persona because of the fact that she has a lot of older friends, and that's usually associated with the cool kids, but really, Tianne is more of the dork than she is of the cool kid. This is plainly because she is smart, and that's not a lie. She's always been intelligent, and because of that and her wit, she was placed in Ravenclaw, it seems to make sense to her.

Tianne may seem like you’re normal, together teenager, but behind the smiling face, she’s hiding a lifetime of guilt, and trouble at home. There were worse situations to be involved in, but for Tianne, her past was bad enough as it was, there was no real point telling anyone or comparing stories. Sure, there was memories of the good times, the happiness and the fun, but they always seemed to be overshadowed by what else had happened, ruining those memories for the girl. So here it is Tianne’s history.
Born on the ninth of the fifth month, May, Tianne was a cute baby. Weighing in at a healthy 3600grams or around that mark, she delighted the parents, Barbara and Greg Webster, who, at the time, were seemingly happy. Tianne has no memory of the two fighting, and grew up in the normal way, happy, spoiled and healthy. When she was three years old, she was enrolled in preschool, and loved it immediately. It was obvious that she was going to be intelligent or smart from an early age, learning seemed to be her talent.
When she was four years old, Tianne was told of the news that she was going to be getting her own baby sister. To put it simply, she didn’t take this news well. She liked being an only child, and much like the reaction that children got when they didn’t get their way, she threw a tantrum. Okay, so it was utterly immature of the girl to do so, but she was four years old, the attention had been taken off her and she wasn’t getting it back, of course she was going to be upset.
But nevertheless, on December 16th, Tanya was born. She was four weeks premature, and wasn’t allowed home for two weeks after her birth, but there were no complications. Tianne had still been slightly angry at her parents, the fire had been rekindled when Tianne was forced to wait with the ‘nice’ nurse, as her mother had said. But when she got the opportunity to hold her new baby sister, she wasn’t actually angry at her parents any more. Well, she was proud of them, she loved her new baby sister, and of course she was happy that the parents had continued with the whole ‘T’ tradition, Tianne and Tanya sounded alike, and the young girl found that funny.
Upon bringing the baby home, Tianne was again disappointed. She had spent so long dragging the cot into her own room, and she wasn’t allowed to sleep in the same room as the baby. That angered Tianne, and again, she threw a tantrum, trying to achieve her own way. This may have been the reason that her parents started fighting so often, this is where Tianne’s memories of Barbara and Greg fighting began.
They weren’t so bad, but there were a few ones that stuck out in her mind. There was one where her mother got so mad at their father, that her, Tanya and Tianne were dragged to their aunts house, for 3 days, not seeing their father for the whole duration. There was one where Greg fled the house, for three weeks, Tianne and Tanya being forced to stay at their aunts by themselves while their mother was forced to pick up the pieces of their marriage. It all seemed to be going downhill, it was tough on the two girls, even though they were so young they didn’t really know what was going on.
But there was the one fight, the worst fight that had ever gone on between the two. This is Tianne’s biggest secret, a secret that she keeps to herself, that not even Matty knows. Her and Tanya share the heavy burden of the almost tragedy, and Tianne finds it easier just to keep it to herself than to bother with all the details, the tears and the heartbreak.
It started out like any other night had. They had previously eaten dinner in almost complete silence, except for the few times when the girls asked for something. They were only still young, Tianne was just seven, Tanya was only three. After saying thank you and clearing the table, the two went up to Tianne's room, to play with the dolls. Distant shouting could be heard, but the two girls were old enough to know that when their parents were fighting that they shouldn't intercept it, it was better just to ignore it.
They had experienced it all before, it was nothing new, except when the two big bangs were heard. Tianne made her way, reluctantly, hesitating at each of the stairs, but when she finally reached the kitchen, the door was open, there was a gun on the table, her mother was lying on the floor and her father had gone. A neighbor came rushing over to see what had happened, and, as Tianne had gone into complete shock, dialed the number for the ambulance to come.
Later on, her father was jailed for the attempted murder, and all ties between him and the family were cut off. Her mother was fine in the long run, even if it took her a couple of years to get over it. But upon getting over the ordeal, getting better both physically and mentally, Barbara met another man, an ex-professional soccer player for Westham, John Barrett. Three years later, to the day that they met, they were married, and Tianne and Tanya, who had both donned the last name Webster for their whole lives, were now Webster-Barrett, as opposed to their mother, who merely took on the Barrett last name. Twelve year old Tianne, who had already been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and wizardry, took on the joint role of flower girl with her sister for the wedding.
Three years later, when Tianne was fifteen, her mother gave birth to another child, Tianne's half-brother as it was to John, and named it Liam. At least they didn't stick to the horrible tradition of calling their children by the same letter, the parents had discovered that it was confusing, and at an older age, it was not as cute as first thought.
All throughout her schooling career at Hogwarts, she excelled in the academic purposes, but lacked in the friends department. In her fourth year at magical school, she met Matilda Wentworth, who would be the girls best friend. Tianne was given a prefect badge in her fifth year, something that excited the girl and gave her the confidence that she'd need for her life.
The Pros and Cons
______________________________________[/center][/b]
Tianne’s personality is full of pros and cons. She considers them to be the parts that make her interesting, but many just find them plain annoying. Although the girl does admit they can get on people’s nerves, she loves to flaunt them in a way that only she could pull off.
Firstly, Tianne is really out going. She loves meeting new people, and can warm up to them in a heartbeat. Well, she can do this with girls anyways. Even if it does take her a little longer to get to know the boys, she’s considered a boys girl so they get along really well in the end. Some girls hate this fact, and judge her, but Tianne is only interested in having a good time, so she doesn’t waste her time with any of those kinds of people.
Secondly, Tianne is quite strong. Both physically and emotionally. Crying is not something this girl does on a daily basis. Maybe its a good thing that she doesn’t cry, but some see it as bad, like she’s afraid to show her emotions. This isn’t the case for Tianne, she’s just naturally quiet. She enjoys laughing, but crying just doesn’t seem or fell normal to the girl.
One of Tianne’s other pro, is that she is extremely intelligent. Ever since she could, she’s been reading. She began playing the flute at age seven, and you know what they say, children that play instruments seem to be smarter and more intelligent than those that don’t.
The first of Tianne’s many cons, has a lot to do with negativity. Tianne can’t but put herself down, she believes it makes herself feel and perform better. Her friends again, get annoyed but it’s just a habit that Tianne has developed over the years. Admittedly, she had been trying to rid herself of this flaw, but it’s just something that happens naturally, without any control.
Another of her flaws is the fact that she is terrible at housekeeping. She couldn’t cook something to save her life, she’s yet to learn the delicate skill of ironing, and she can’t fold. Another flaw that ties in with this is that she couldn’t be bother to learn these things. Even with plain nagging from her mother, it seems to go in one ear and out the other.
Lastly, Tianne is too afraid to muck up at all, and to have a little fun. Living by the rules may be considered to be a good thing to a lot of people, but that is not what her opinion of it is. Tianne just wishes that she could go and have some fun, but she is just way too scared of the people above her to do so, she'd rather stay on their good side.
