xxxPERSONALITYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PASSIONATE High-spirited and outspoken, Rhea may be tiny but she's still a force of nature. When she sets her mind to something, it's going to get done, no matter what. When she has something she cares about she will dedicate herself to learning everything there is to know about the topic, whether it's ballet, or mermaids, or even her friendships. She is grounded in her beliefs and likes to find the good in everything and everyone she comes across.
DISCIPLINED When it comes to the things she is passionate about, Rhea is incredibly disciplined. With her ballet and gymnastics she has dedicated nearly her entire life, spending hours a day practicing and keeping her body performance-ready at all times. She runs a tight schedule in order to make time for her training, school work, and social life, and is even strict with her diet (although she still makes sure to get those junk food cravings satisfied). When times come up that she is unable to maintain her routine, such as when she is ill and told to rest, she becomes terribly stressed and restless. She cannot stand to be still for long and is prone to try and sneak off and maintain her activity levels somehow.
INSECURE Receiving her magic was probably one of the most difficult moments in Rhea's young life. She was quick to notice the affect her accidental magic phase had on her parent's relationship. Suddenly Rhea was a wizard, her father was upset to handle it, and her mother unhappy at her father's behavior towards what they realized was inevitable. She recalled Uncle Joseph had always said magic was twisted and dreadful. Did she do something wrong? Is she a bad person? Rhea has several doubts towards her magic, but she is just as harsh on the rest of herself. The girls at school were prettier. They had better grades. They didn't get in trouble because all the books on the shelf flew off when they were browsing for something to read. Hell, some of them already had boyfriends. What was so wrong with her?
ROMANTIC Rhea has always been fascinated with fairy tales. The thought of a princess finding her true love and living a happily ever after was incredibly appealing to an impressionable young girl, and she is one of those young ladies who has been plotting her wedding since she was 5. (Currently she wants a poofy white dress with lacy sleeves with a bouquet of tiger lilies and forget-me-nots). She is a sweet young lady that sees the beauty in everything, even the worst things... Except figs. There's nothing beautiful about figs.
INDEPENDENT Although she's the baby of the family, Rhea is probably the most independent of the Lane children. She's lived a life where her parents were always busy, and her brothers are old enough to be busy with lives of their own. She has learned if she wants to get anything done she's best off doing it herself, and although she appreciates help when it's offered, she will never dare ask as the last thing she wants is to be seen as a bother. Everyone's so busy... She'd hate for anyone to have to sacrifice their precious time just for her sake. She's got two good legs, so she can use them herself.
PERCEPTIVE Rhea is an incredibly bright young lady who is wise beyond her years. She may not apply herself like she should in school, thus she doesn't quite reach her potential in terms of grades, but she is excellent in social situations. She can read people well and adjusts herself accordingly to easily converse with each individual. She's also a great person to go to for advice as she wants nothing more than to help.

xxxBACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
EARLY CHILDHOOD Rhea Allison is the youngest child and only daughter of Marco and Delia Lane. She grew up a bundle of joy and energy, loving nothing more than to spend time playing with her two older brothers. Her knowledge of magic was never extensive... As long as she could remember her brother Jonah was magical, but Orion wasn't. It never made much sense to her, really. Strange things happened to Jonah and their uncle certainly did not seem to get along with the boy, but she could see how jealous Rion was.
Much of her time growing up was spent with her Uncle, Joseph, since the boys were in school and her parents were nearly always busy with work (her mum an astronomer, and her dad a physician). He seemed to regard her neutrally, for the most part, but to Rhea it was clear that he had a soft spot for his niece. There was never any malice towards her, but at any time she expressed interest in Jonah or brought up magic her uncle would react with disgust. She knew he hated magic, but she couldn’t place why… If she turned out to be a witch, would he learn to hate her too? Was that why he was often so distant? He was waiting to see if she would be a ‘bad kid’? She hoped he would never turn on her like that--after all, Joseph was more of a parent to her in her earlier years than her mother and father were.
If she were to be perfectly honest, Rhea didn’t want anything to do with being a witch and she often prayed that she would turn out to be a squib like Orion. All the politics involved seemed such a hassle, and she wasn’t interested in the concept of an ‘accidental magic’ phase or being separated from her friends at home to attend a boarding school for most of the year. She had other aspirations in mind--like becoming the “Prima Ballerina Mermaid Princess of the North Sea”.
She had always been an athletic child. From ages three to eight she had taken gymnastics and ballet since age four; she had only been forced to quit gymnastics when her grades began to slip due to her not paying attention in class. Still, she keeps up her lessons the best she can and does yoga every day to help with her ballet exercises. Rhea is incredibly dedicated to her dancing and hopes one day to turn it into a career--as a teacher or professional ballerina, she has no idea. Although her focus is on ballet she does study other forms of dance from her instructor and has picked up each dance step with ease, proving herself to be a quick learner when she puts her mind to something.
As a young girl growing up in Rye, just two miles from the sea, the ocean had always been near and dear to Rhea Lane’s heart. Her fondest memories with her father include visits to the beach and harbor and watching mermaid movies on repeat. She also often visited the famous Mermaid Inn across the street with her father and uncle and was fascinated by the history associated with the place. Marco had even dubbed their floo address “The Grotto”, much to Rhea’s amusement. Jonah would often read books with her as well--her favorite was always The Little Mermaid, tragic as it was, and she loved to hear mermaid facts from his copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Frankly, she was a little obsessed. If she did turn out to be a witch, she hoped there would be a way to make her into a mermaid, instead.
One day her uncle was just gone, and Rhea didn't know why. All she knew was that after that, her parents were fighting more often and her mum tried to be around more, but even so most of her time was spent with Jonah. She would say he needed special attention since he needed to learn to control his magic, and one day when Rhea got hers she would give her the same treatment. Her parents still loved her dearly, but life was lonely. School had become her salvation; at least there she had friends and people to talk to, at least until she received her magic in June of 2043.
She had gone into a brief sleepwalking phase and Jonah, not knowing any better, teased her that she had gotten her magic and it was manifesting in apparating in her sleep--something which her mother was able to explain to her was impossible, however, Jonah seemed to be on to something regardless as when she had taken his wand in retaliation she had managed to knock every book in the living room off the shelf. Her mother and brothers were thrilled to finally confirm she was a witch, but she and her father… Not so much. The manifestation of her magic only seemed to cause her parents to argue more and more, and while Orion had managed to shield both her and Jonah for the remainder of that summer, eventually school had come and she had her first ‘incident’.
Rhea hated Todd Simmons. He was a stupid jerk and so were his stupid friends! Just because Rhea turned out to be an early bloomer and had started to wear a training bra the boys thought it would be fine to snap it behind her back, they pulled her hair, called her names… Todd kept telling--not asking--her to be his girlfriend, but for Merlin’s sake she was not about to have her first boyfriend be some twerp that bullies her for kicks. Todd, classy as ever, thought the best way to retaliate to rejection would be to lift up her skirt in front of the other boys at recess. Rhea wasn’t having it though and shoved him away, except her magic appeared to have kicked in in that moment and she’d shoved the boy much further than she expected. The confrontation ended in a sprained wrist and scrapes for Todd with two days suspension, and a week of suspension for Rhea. Her suspension sparked the first fight she had witnessed between her parents, and the rest of the school year had gone downhill from there. By the end of the year she found out her parents would be getting a divorce, and poor Rhea couldn’t help but blame herself for starting everything. If she hadn’t been magical, there would have been nothing to worry about! It was all because she was a witch, and thanks to that, the last thing she wanted to do was go to school just to learn more magic. In her fragile state, she’d probably just mess it all up, anyway. She’d probably just hurt someone else like she did Todd… Her insecurities began to get the best of her.
Godric’s Hollow wasn’t terrible. She still got to floo over to Rye for school until she began Hogwarts, and she had her neighbors Brook and Aidene to play with! They became her new best friends, and Rhea began to look on the bright side of things again. At least when she got to Hogwarts she could spend time with Jonah more… Not to mention his best friend’s super cute cousin.
SCHOOL YEARS
■ FIRST YEAR Rhea’s reluctance to embrace magic had put her schooling off to a rocky start. She’d gone through several wands before one would accept her. With her confidence shattered from previous events, her spellwork came out shoddy at best and she was struggling with her grades. August had been kind enough to take her under his wing and attempted to help with extra reading materials to study (which while appreciated, only seemed to stress her further), but in the end it was thanks to the mildly-terrifying motivation of Lizzie Spektor and the tutelage of her neighbor Aldrick Knapp that got her back on track. By the end of the school year she was actually doing pretty well, and had become much more eager to learn after having several months of magical exposure. In athletics, Rhea had managed to become a reserve Chaser for the Slytherin Quidditch Team and had joined August Li in the announcements stand. She only got to play in one game for what seemed like five minutes before the snitch was caught! A bummer for sure, but she was positive she would get another chance someday. She also joined the dueling club as an observer, the music club for extra dance practice time, and the fencing club, all the while continuing her dance lessons on her own. Though she never caught sight of a mermaid in her first year despite her best efforts, she did get a hold of a book on the mermaid language and has set out to learn in hopes that when she did eventually come across a mermaid, she’d be able to at least say hello. She fully recognizes that she may be taking on too much too fast for a first year, but what can she say? She likes to be involved and to keep busy.
