              ■ FEISTY Chessie absolutely loves to play devil’s advocate, and will do anything she can to get a stir out of people. It’s not ill intent, she just thinks it’s funny to see people forced out of their comfort zones. She's also rather rambunctious, and can't sit still or follow the rules for too long.
              ■ SENSITIVE Despite that she often pokes fun at people, Chess is a sweet enough girl who sincerely wants to be liked by everyone around. Underneath her tough exterior, her emotions run rampant and she is hurt deeply by insult. She cares too much for her close ones, and would gladly put herself in harm's way to help them.
              ■ ATHLETIC Since she could support herself on two feet, Chess was always running around everywhere. She learned to play football very early on, and was a grat player even on the boys' team. When she'd mastered football, she moved on to rugby. She's unafraid of pain and sweat, and loves the feeling she gets when challenging herself or a rival. While her build is small, she's got muscles, and is much too competitive.
              ■ AWKWARD Social cues aren't easy to decipher for Chessie. Things need to be explained plainly for her to understand them, and sometimes she needs help expressing herself. This made primary school difficult, and because of her lack of friends in school, she became still more socially undeveloped. It was a vicious cycle one that was broken or at least stalled once she arrived at Hogwarts and found like-minded friends.

              CHILDHOOD Going through the beginnings of school was tough for Chessie. She was picked on a bit, sometimes called a soulless ginger, and there were few kids who bothered to get to know her. To be fair, she didn’t give them much reason to. There seems to be a kid in every class who, when the teacher ends class, asks if she is going to collect the homework. Nobody likes that kid. Chessie was that kid. It’s not like she was a nerd, she just didn’t pick up on many social cues, especially when it came to girls her age. This may have been due to her mother’s lack of attention; she never taught her how to use makeup or dress fashionably or gossip. Her father was her primary role-model, so she got on better with the boys who played make-believe warrior games on the playground.

              Odd occurrences began to happen around her, though. Small things, like after this blondie girl made fun of her freckles, she fell off the monkey bars and got the wind knocked out of her. At first Chessie thought it was karma or coincidence, until another time this boy Kota gave her one of those wishing dandelions and it changed back into it’s blooming phase. She didn't tell anyone, but Kota became afraid of her and she didn't know what to do about it. Finally, while teaching her sister to play tug-of-war with Frodo, Chessie accidentally turned the poor dog purple. This time, she had to run away to try to find out how to turn him right. While she was doing so under the peer outside her home, a dwarf named Deveron Whitethorne appeared and told her that she was a witch. After a conversation with her father, Chessie was offered the chance to study magic at Hogwarts. She begged her father to let her go, and he eventually said yes.


              SCHOOL YEARS
                  FIRST YEAR Chessie's first year was not quite eventful. She met and interacted with most of her classmates, but was a bit of a wallflower. School proved to be difficult, not the learning part but the being away from her family bit. It took a while to adjust to everything new and wizardly, and she still hadn't finished adjusting by the time the year was through. Her saving grace was a sport called quidditch, and though she wasn't experienced enough to make the first string team, she scored a reserve position and threw herself into physical pursuit during practices.
