"For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair."
~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Appearance:

Sorina is a petite but darling young woman that stands at about 5'4, when on her tiptoes. Recently dyed a deep and richer shade of brown, her hair naturally forms rather large curls, which she ties back with a multi-coloured scarf when needed. Her eyes are big and appear reddish-brown in colour, giving her a doe-eyed appearance, while her lips seem ever ready to break out into a smile or grin. Due to all of her time spent indoors as of late, her tan has begun to fade, although she is far from being pale. Other then her pierced ears, and a very faint scar along her left hip, her skin remains unmarred. When she speaks, her voice is soft, the last hints of her light Romanian accent beginning to taper away.

Slowly stepping away from her old, worn down clothing, Sori has as of late begun to sew her own clothing by hand, losing hours a day to this activity. How she is able to pay for the needed cloth is unknown, having barely been able to afford everything on her shopping list for fifth year. Her jewelry collection remains quite large, with several antique pieces added to it within the last year.

Behavior:

Sorina is a cheerful, kind girl, the type that seems capable of finding hope and joy even with times are harsh. Usually carefree for the most part, she only appears nervous or worried when things are happening to other people, at which point her accent thickens considerably. When upset enough, she can cry for hours on end without stop. However, a majority of the time when nothing is bothering her, she can laugh and play with ease, occasionally impish in her behavior.

She does have her own special eccentric practices, however, such as naming each of her pets after various chocolate bar brands. Very much a pacifist and with a strong aversion to blood, she goes out of her way to avoid learning many spells she views as far too ‘offensive’. Instead, she practices various forms of conjuration, minor healing, and protection spells with her wand, which is rather short, made of wood from a weeping willow, and unicorn hair core. Oddly enough, she seems quite skilled with a dagger, as well.

History:

As told by Sori, she was born in Romania, and a Roma by birth, Sorina has spent much of her life traveling across Eastern Europe with her mother and half-brother, as well as with other members of her family. It was from them that she was given her basic education. Little else is known about her past, not even what school she transferred from at the beginning of her fourth year of schooling in magic - whichever it was, despite her nature, the subject of it often seems to upset her.

Those who bother to look into her past, however, may find out far more then Sorina would ever dare reveal....

Relationships:

Although not quite the social butterfly, Sorina has a fair number of people she would consider friends - Zia (a fellow Roma), Domi, Niko, Tyson, Roland, and several others. Although she doesn’t go out of her way to do so, she is quite happy to meet new people.

As for relationships of a more intimate nature, Sori remains rather innocent, never having had a boyfriend, or even her first kiss. The few boys she has liked have always gone after other students, something she does her best not to dwell upon.

Although having only recently began to work on her vocals, Sori has always been fond of singing, and can often be found quietly humming or singing songs created by the German muggle band Xandria.
