Hi, my name is Elisabeth Cathleen Barrows.
I'm a female.
I'm 42
years old. My birthday is May 20, 1994
I work in Stunning Stories and Fascinating Facts.
My dream job is what I do now – working in my own bookshop.
My blood status is Pure Blood.
The house I was in was Hufflepuff.
I was in the class of 2011.
I'm interested in guys.
I'm currently single.
People can describe me as very friendly and outgoing. I love to learn new stories, which makes my career as a bookshop owner a good fit. I am also incredibly affectionate, often giving friends and family hugs and kisses on the cheek (I am rather confused by my daughter's preference for personal space, in fact). I am also very impulsive, though I don't like that trait about myself and try to curtail it. I always has a great deal of poise, though that doesn't take away from the ambiance of welcome that surrounds me. I love magic and the power/beauty that accompanies it. I love to laugh, though my dry sense of humor can edge toward cruel if I am not careful. I am always happy to apologize if someone feels offended or hurt, but I am not very good at remembering before I say something. Unable to stand being bored, I am always working on some project at the shop.
My background story is I grew up as a proper young lady and the youngest child and only daughter of the Barrow family, a pure blooded family who make our home near the beaches of East Sussex. My parents, Valerian Kai Barrows and Theodora Niamh Barrows were thrilled with a little girl, even if my brothers (Vervain Richard and Larkspur Grahame) were not as thrilled. Spending a lot of my childhood in private lessons, I learned to love stories and social time, periods when I didn't have to worry about my performance Charming people was simple for me, as long as I didn't joke around too much, and I enjoyed time spent with other children. I attended Hogwarts as a Hufflepuff, and I ended her school career with seven NEWTs, and three O's. Throughout school, she played Quidditch with her brothers, though I wasn't very good at it. For my graduation, my parents bought me a dachshund, which she named Peavyne. After school I married a Muggle composer, Fredrick Dalton Acton. We had a daughter together, named Calliandra, but we divorced when she was six over disagreements about how much Calliandra should be taught to rely on magic as well as my reliance on magic. Though we ended our relationship, we remain good friends, and we both work to ensure Calliandra spends time with both of us. I do most of the raising of Calliandra, but I takes her regularly to her father's home and the Muggle world in general. After the divorce, I moved back to East Sussex, opening a bookshop in Brighton called Stunning Stories and Fascinating Facts (Double S Double F for short), where I now works. Two years after the divorce, I adopted a German Shepherd that my daughter named Cogsworth. I very much enjoy my work in the shop, and I spend most of my time working in the shop and homeschooling my daughter. I is now preparing to send my daughter off to school, already nervous about spending so much time without my little girl.
I enjoy reading, talking, listening to music, playing cards, animals, theater, and children.
I despise math, boredom, grapes, isolation, and sodas.
I'm afraid of loneliness and pain.
My strengths are my charisma.
My flaws are my lack of mathematics ability and my inability to keep my mouth shut.
I look like Holly Gagnier.
My wand is a supple, knobby wand of elm wood with a dragon-heartstring core, measuring ten and a half inches long.
My pets are Peavyne, and dachshund and Cogsworth, a German Shepherd.

Oh yes, there's something else I need to tell you! I am a dangerous woman with a home-decorating guide: I change up all the decor in my house at least every two years. Also, I don't have a plant name like the rest of my family because my mother wanted something different (she likes for things to be different in some way, including my name). My father gave in since he didn't expect me to keep the family name anyway. As a woman, he assumed that I would be getting married and changing my name. It did happen that way, to a degree.
