Wand;
My wand is a 10.5" Rigid Hornbeam with Phoenix Tail feather. The wandmaker seemed more than a little surprised when I was able to shoot out a stream of fireworks from the wand and muttered under his breath to my parents about strong-willed and determination. It works for me. I never stop trying to learn until the spell is down and in my arsenal of knowledge.

- Appearance;
I'm no Veela or half-Veela because that s**t is annoying, but I think I got a healthy mix of my parent's features. My best feature you will probably find is my skin - it is an interesting shade of brown and has an undertone that keeps it looking clean and fantastic, always a darker brown in the Mediterannean sun. However, being in the cold and relentlessly cloudy UK is doing its number and making me lighter than I would like to be. My hair is kept at about two to two and half inches long so that it doesn't become curly, and is a dark brown that is rather thick and pretty soft. I have my mother's nose, which is a bit straight but isn't as flat as my father's, while still retaining a bit of the wideness. My eyes have a very strong Nordic fold, which means that there is extra skin on the outside of the eye that makes it so that when my eyes are open, you seen no eyelid, and they slant down. As opposed to Asians, who have slanted eyes because of the epicanthic fold.
My lips also slope downwards and are very full and almost never smiling. I'm not too tall and not too short at five-ten, which works well for my lean build that I try to keep in good shape, at 140 lbs. My sense of style is muggle because of how I was raised, and I have a strong preference for an urban Mediterranean city look as opposed to robes. However it seems that Scotland is not kind to my wardrobe and I spend life in a constant state of my many jackets with my hands in my pocket. The way I stand is often not the most approachable. I walk and move deliberately, with no uncertainty or hesitance. Why should I?

History;
I was born to a Mr. Justus LeRoux and a Miss Renee Amari, who was soon to become Mrs. Justus LeRoux. My father is a businessman in the Muggle world, doing international business. That was how he met my mother, a representative of an architect company that was based in both Marseille and Morocco. They met, they really liked each other, and then you go through all of that kind of romantic French romancing part with the slight glitch in the plans that was myself. My father is a French Black, his family having lived in France since the late 1800s. My mother was also from France, however she was half-French and half-Arabic, which led to the multiracial abnormality that is myself. Which also means that yes, I am indeed a muggleborn. It is not necessarily appreciated at Beauxbatons, but that is another point entirely.
I grew up in Marseille, the French Portal to the World. I grew up in a diverse and global city. My father, being a businessman, was no-nonsense and taught me to appreciate efficiency while my mother brought me up to only expect the best out of myself and the people around me. Exactness was a treasured quality. Eyes for details, expecting intelligence and not tolerating the stupidity that accompanied so many. There was never anything insipid or unneeded in my life, and that was the way our household was run. I went to primary school when I was of age and was well aware of the no-nonsense policy that my parents exacted. But it made sense, why wouldn't it? There was no use for dead weight. This appeared in my high marks from an early age and apparent perception and ability to grasp concepts and scenarios. I thank my mother for this (Arab minds read math and the abstracts like poetry).
I noticed little things that made me different. It started when I was eight. Not only could I seemingly grasp the most abstract of concepts - I could make them come to life. It was the day that I was making a model of the solar system, complete with nine planets and the sun, and I was imagining how some of the planets rotate in oppossite directions. I was concentrating on imagining it when my model started to float in the air, the makeshift planets spinning in their appropriate directions. Neverless, I was surprised, but I don't think I was that surprised, or else I could have freaked out. Instead with a blink the solar system fell to the floor and I tried to see what else I could do with my mind and a bit of concentration.
My life continued to be well-off. We lived in a classy apartment in the middle of the city. I was used to the people and the accessibility of everything. It was all fine and dandy until I was eleven and I received some rather interesting news. I was indeed, a wizard. Once again, it was no surprise as I read the flourishing French words. My parents didn't believe me when I showed them at first, of course. For such a straight-laced urbanized family, this wasn't quite up their alley. But I easily convinced them by showing my parents the tricks that I had taught myself - my favorite one being the levitation of objects - it was the simplest thing to do and was startling to them. I asked if they had ever done anything like that before but both of them shook their heads. I was unique, and it was something I had in my family that no one else could do.
At Beauxbatons I met a few hundred other unique people just like me - wizards and witches. Even though I had never even heard the term 'magic' until then my eleven year old self was determined to be the best. I studied hard and used my background of efficiency and abstraction to my advantage. Because of that I showed my brilliance for magic, since it is after all, an abstract concept that most people could not even wrap their minds around. At Beauxbatons I encountered the social hierarchy of the school. The females were the ones who were prized, especially those of Veela blood. The veelas annoyed me - you grow tired of consistently looking like a dumbass whenever they walk by but the effect does wear off and for someone like me who doesn't have time to be their little male b***h, you learn resistance. But let's just point out quickly here that boys can carry Veela blood as well.
Underneath the veelas are the regular French people. And then the non-French females and then everybody else, being the non-French males. I paid no heed to this because I had no concern with petty step ladders created by people with no higher aim than being the seventh year with the biggest group of friends. I was setting out to make a name for myself, to become the best Wizard I could. Sometimes it meant I offended people or brushed them off, but I'm doing them good. It's something they'll just have to learn and deal with when they get out into the working world - something my father stressed a great deal. There were greater goals and goods to be achieved. So when the opportunity came up to partake in the Triwizard Tournament, of course I took it.
Personality;
My confidence is my key - Things do not usually faze me or upset me. They instead just roll off of my shoulder. Being confident is the key to being respected and being successful. However, in my confidence I am often seen as haughty. This is more than likely a correct assumption, I do not deal with those who are perpetrators of stupidity or ignorance in any kind and I am highly impatient with them. I could be spending my time doing something constructive instead of dealing with them. Efficiency is key because time is money and valuable. I don't like to waste time at all, even if I do see myself as a rather careful planner to do anything to get the end that is in my sight or my will.
To be successful, I am not afraid to employ my natural intelligence. I am naturally slightly devious and cunning and yes, that sometimes means being underhanded. I wasn't born ahead of the game in the Wizard world and I don't have magical charms like a siren to make people give me everything they want. Instead I use my knowledge to manipulate a situation the way that I want it in the most expedient way possible. You know what they say anyways - all those men who listened to Siren Songs only ended up smashing into the rocks. And what good did it do them? You have dead sailors and now there's no one for the girls to tease. It's bunch of bullshit lets be honest. The only people who benefit are the shipmakers who have a constant supply and demand for the ships that are always being crashed, so investing in them would be a good idea. I'm goodlooking and talented but I'm not just riding on that. I work hard for everything that I get.
If you haven't caught on by now, you probably shouldn't talk to me, but I'll go ahead and tell you - I'm driven. I may be one of the most ambitious people you've met. I don't have money to pay my way through and I have a disdain for those who let their lives slide by and never try to move on. I'm always moving forward, always aiming for something more. Sure this means that the successes I do have under my belt expand my ego but that is just deserved. I am self-assured and know who I am and what I want and the different paths to get there. Even if there isn't a path I will cut one down. I am serious and take things seriously, and my sense of humor is sarcastic and more importantly, dry. I am not amused by silly antics and asinine shenanigans, which are strangely prevalent throughout Beauxbatons and maddeningly more so at Hogwarts.
