Character History:
Born August 14 1979 in Somerset England to a witch and a Muggle father, Selina Cromwell was reared in a typical wizarding household and was accustomed to her mother using magic to clean the dishes and fix things such as broken chairs. Her father, however, had a perculiar influence upon her developing mind, for he had kept many of his old Muggle trinkets and would often show them to her, explaining how they worked or what they were meant to do. Usually these items had been charmed to make them more useful or entertaining, and her dad would delightedly point out his alarm clock which sprayed water to wake its owner up, or a telephone that shouted insults at solicitors when they called. Unfortunately, this mixture of magic and ordinary seemed to lead to confusion, and Selina sometimes forgot that such things did not behave that way in the normal world. After the young girl had argued with her second grade teacher that washing machines were musical instruments, her parents decided it was best to home school her.
At the ripe age of eight while eating dinner and laughing at a joke, Selina hiccupped and promptly turned invisible; needless to say, her mother and father were very proud to have another witch in the family. It was not long before their daughter received that fateful letter and boarded the Hogwarts Express three years later, her arms and bags filled with spellbinding textbooks, school robes, a poplar and unicorn hair wand, and a barn owl. Upon her arrival through the great enchanted doors of her new home, Selina was smartly sorted into Ravenclaw and found no difficulty settling in. Her first few terms came and went in relative smoothness.
Now in her fifth year, she is best in Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms; her plans for the future—possibly an Obliviator for the Ministry of Magic. If that fails, she could always strike up a career around her preferred hobby of drawing.

If there is one thing Selina loves more than reading it has got to be drawing. It doesn't matter where she is or what she's doing—if the scene catchings her fancy, rest assured she'll most likely whip out that handy sketchpad and trusty pencil.
