■ INTELLIGENT Sybella in life was quite intelligent, and while she is no longer alive, her portrait has taken this particular trait on. She tries to learn as much as she can, and although limited, has accrued a bit of information since her painting was completed.
■ RESPONSIBLE Sybella's portrait is also quite responsible. She believes that Sybella, while rash, had a lot of ideas about things that could help change things for the better, and she tries to help out those she feels morally obligated to assist.
■ THOUGHTFUL Sybella's portrait takes quite a few things into consideration when she happens to be speaking to people. She avoids conversations that make other people uncomfortable, and tries to make those around her feel better. She has not been able to put as much work into this as she might wish, as she hasn't been hanging anywhere in the estate for a good decade or so.
■ STUBBORN As Sybella in life was stubborn, so too is her portrait. Her constant point of contention happens to be her subject's father, and she willingly butts heads with him as much as possible. Since learning of Sybella's death, she blames him for what happened to her and refuses to see it any other way.
■ SNARKY Sybella was particularly snarky, and as a portrait, she still is. She has no problem with speaking up, and won't back down from verbal spars, even tossing in a few of her own. Her intelligence also helps to come up with insults on the sly if it suits her mood, and her tongue is particularly effective in this regard.
■ PERCEPTIVE As a result of being cooped up in the family's attic for years, Sybella is now more perceptive about the goings-on around her. Whether this is something that people appreciate is not her concern, as she feels that she should know what is happening around her.

LIFETIME Sybella was the youngest child of Gabriel and Gwyneth Linwood. Born to a pureblood family, she was born after the tragic death of her brother Tyler, and never knew him as a result. However, as she was the youngest, her father doted upon her completely, and tried his best to make sure she was happy and content as a child. Being her father's favourite, however, meant that she was spoiled a bit, and as she got older, it definitely showed. She could practically get away with murder if she wanted to, and he would look the other way.
However, when she went to Hogwarts, she found that life as her father's favourite wasn't as easy as she thought it would be. Every teacher refused to give her special treatment, and she had to work hard to be considered as good as she thought she was. She was sorted into Slytherin like many in her family, but had to work to overcome her more childish nature. By fifth year, she had managed it, and stood as the prefect for Slytherin. That year was also a turning point for her, as she met a muggle boy named Gerald Hamilton, a muggle who had visited the area for holiday with his family.
SINCE PAINTING After Sybella's painting had been completed, things changed for her. No longer willing to follow along with her family's direction, she decided to try and strike out on her own. That backfired, however, as she got into more and more arguments with her father. It got to a point that during seventh year, she decided she was leaving home after she graduated. She had begun to see Gerald regularly, and by the end of seventh year, she graduated not just as one of the top of her class, but also with a proposal from the muggle she had been seeing. She accepted and left home, never to come back.
She moved in and eloped with Gerald Hamilton, shortly thereafter getting a job for the ministry. She never mentioned her magical heritage, but instead kept silent about it, even when she became pregnant and gave birth to their son, Rhys. However, part of her wished she could go back home and make amends, but knew she couldn't. Not when she was afraid that her son and husband would be discriminated against. When she turned twenty-three, she found out she was pregnant and started planning with Gerald about what they were going to do. Her eldest, Rhys, was already bright and she delighted in teaching him as much as she could. However, her life came to an abrupt end February 7, 2023, when her flat caught fire. She managed to apparate with Rhys out of the flat, but went back in to find Gerald and accidentally got stuck. She never made it out.
Since she left home, Sybella's painting had been taken down by her father when he disowned her. However, when he learned that Sybella had had a child, he decided to find out as much about his grandson as he could and rehung the portrait in his study. Her portrait, however, is not pleased with her father and doesn't generally speak to him, especially since she's heard all of the arguments that her real life self and her father had with each other. This is especially true ever since she learned of her subject's death sixteen years after she last saw her.
