Personality
Selina is curious about everything, from how a remote works to why a person acts a certain way in a situation. Most of the time she can use her curiosity to her advantage as she has been trying to read up on laws and customs of witches and wizards. She hates the saying 'curiosity killed the cat' because she knows it isn't just felines that can be caught in it's luring trap. She regularly finds herself having to sit and listen to what other people say just to know what they know or even following strangers that catch her attention though she is able to restrain her self how ever if that is not an option or it seems to be a dangerous situation. Every time Lina sees some one in trouble she can't help but want to help them out. She will do anything within her power to cheer some one up or get them out of a tough spot even if it means getting in danger herself. There have been many times where she has rounded up stray animals around the city and find food for them all, usually in the dead of the night so no one will notice. Lina has learned to pay attention to her surroundings from all the time she has wondered around her home town. There have been many times where she got out of a possibly bad situation by picking up little details she might have other wise missed. She trains herself regularly by sitting and just watching the world around her, some times for hours at a time.
First it was in Lina normal school grades and then it is in her magical school grades that get her nervous as a bird in a cat show. And then add that she is the first witch in her family that she knows of, being unaware that one of her great grandfather's was a squib with a magical parent, she is afraid she will fail horribly. This might have been one of the reasons she has developed the need to know everything. Lina hasn't been able to spend a lot of time, more then a few hours at a time at least, with other people besides family so she isn't entirely comfortable around new people and those she doesn't know too well. She is likely to be found off to the side silently watching in big groups as she doesn't know how entirely how to react to certain things and some times her shyness gets so bad she losses her voice for a while. Lina is a bit of a gossip, wanting to collect information on what is going on with who, though she her self does not usually tell any one what she finds out. Should she know you to the point of being comfortable around you, she can be really insistent about having to know what ever secret you have been hiding and loves being the first to know what it is.
Likes: Chocolate, reading, people watching, art, owls
Dislikes: Bugs, lazy people, being forced to talk in front of a large group
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Habits: When she gets tired she will reach up and absently start to run her fingers through her hair, something she had picked up from her mother.
Anytime she started getting nervous or feels a blush coming on she normally ducks her head to hide slightly behind her bangs.
Hobbies:
Reading- Ever since she was little books and the information contained inside of them interested her. It's not unusual to find her carrying two or more books, reading outside or hanging out in the library to read.
Swimming- Not something she can do at Hogwarts unless it was in the lake but she make ups for it with the pool at home.
Previous stages: 3rd year

History
Selina and her family live in a small sized town in Ireland, though she had been born in London thanks to her mother going into labor at a school reunion two weeks early. As she was growing up there were not a lot of kids her own age there and was home schooled for the first few grades, furthering her separation from the correct age group social interaction. With no siblings and no cousins that they were aware of thanks to her mothers parentage, it wasn't a big surprise that she developed a shyness when it came to strangers. When she was about five the first noticed sign of her magical ability showed up, though at the time they had dismissed it at the time, when she had been climbing up a tree to get a better look at an abandoned bird nest then slipped and fell. Her magic had cushioned her fall so she didn't brake her wrist like she would have thanks to how she was falling. Again her magic had showed up when she was nine and the book she had been reading was knocked out of her hands but some how managed to land with the age she had been reading on open and the book mark she had been holding landed right next to the sentence she had been about to read. The most attention catching happenstance though was when she had been upset and accidentally turned one of her father's good shirts a very bright pink and leaving them with no explanation on how.
When she was eleven one of the professors from Hogwarts arrived and it took a few hours, a cleaning charm demonstration that made her mother quite happy to not have to clean the dishes, and a prompt to think back on any unusual things happening for her and her parents to accept magic was real. After accepting it however, she jumped at the chance to learn new things. The first time she visited Diagon Alley almost had her changing her mind thanks to the realization of the shear number of people who would be her classmates, classmates who she would have to interact with daily. Thankfully getting her wand and books reminded her of what she could learn about both magic and magical people in general.
The first year she had at Hogwarts was quiet, filled with learning as much as she could understand and very little interaction with students outside her house. The second year was much the same though she did pick up the hobby of collecting chocolate frogs from one of her roommates and rather firmly decided that she would never ever try out for Quidditch after a small mock game that she had been roped into.
Family
Father: Reilly Darby [Muggle] Reilly works for a construction company and is a very big man that is more teddy then bear.
Mother: Calla Darby [Muggle] Calla is one of two librarians in Selina's hometown and is a very gentle, calm lady with a mothering streak a mile wide.
OTHER: Aunt Holly Darby, younger sister to Reilly. [Muggle] Holly is the adventurous family member that only shows up a few times a year thanks to her traveling all over the world doing odd jobs here at there.
Relationship with Family:
She has a fairly good relationship with her family even though her parents work a lot. They always make sure to set aside some time for family dinner every night and talk about their day and anything new that might have some up. Since she has been going to Hogwarts she writes letters to them, and vice versa once they got used to the owl system, a couple times a week to make up for the lack of family time. Lina has a more polite, shy relationship with her Aunt since Holly very rarely shows up for more then the holidays.
The Sorting:
Selina waited on the left side of the group of first years, hoping she wouldn't blush too hard from all of the people looking in their direction while simultaneously trying to ignore them by staring in awe at the ceiling. Were the other students planning on staring the entire time? Didn't they get bored? So preoccupied with the stares she almost missed her name being called but thankfully a boy behind her nudged her forward. She sort of shuffled over to the stool and shank down with blush flaring at having everyone's attention on her. The hat was big on her though so it fell over her eyes, blocking her sight of the students. “Ah, thirst for knowledge I see. Better be RAVENCLAW!” She jumped at the voice and bit back a startled squeak as the clapping started. When the hat was lifted she shuffled over to the blue bannered table as her new housemates gave her smiles and greetings.
Most Memorable Event:
One of Lina's most treasured memories is of the time where her parents and her got to visit Rome when she was eight years old. There had been a group of people reenacting a gladiator fight with wooden swords and shields out side the Colosseum and when they were done they gave out the shields to all of the children in the crowd. The one she got hangs on her wall in her bedroom at home still in good condition.

Extra Information
Boggart:
It would turn into her parents walking away from her while saying she was too different from them to handle. It's an unfounded fear of hers that is buried deep in her subconsciousness.
Mirror of Erised:
If Lina looked into the mirror, she would see herself sitting on a couch at Hogwarts between her parents while they looked at academic awards that she won.
Patronus:
Her patronus would be a golden retriever. Her mother had an old male retriever named Max when Lina was little that used to watch over her when ever she was in his sight.
Greatest Treasure:
A circle locket that has a picture of her parents on one side and a picture of Max on the other. She wears this everywhere though it is normally tucked into her shirt out of sight.
Manner of Dress: She prefers comfortable yet stylish clothes.
Favorite Class: History of Magic
Worst Class: Defense Against the Dark Arts
