Bryony Lovell

Appearance
Bryony's most prominent feature is her ever-present wide and bright smile. Her face is sweet and friendly and round, her soft features illustrating her kind disposition. She has big warm brown doe eyes and a cute rounded nose that she scrunches up when confused or thinking. Long curly chestnut ringlets cascade down her back and dwarf her petite slender frame. She wears a lavender hair ribbon tied onto a bow on the top of her head that seems to perk up when she's in a good mood and droop when she's sad. Her skin is a warm medium brown that freckles lightly during the spring and summer seasons.

Personality
Bryony's defining trait is love. Love for her house, love for her family, love for friends, love for strangers, and love for herself. She is a warm, kind and generous girl who won't hesitate to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. She is an eternal optimist, always trying to find the silver lining in any situation. She is fiercely loyal, and will stand by her friends through thick and thin. Bryony trusts others very easily, though sometimes to a fault. She can be described as naive and guileless, and is easily swayed by deceptive sob stories that appeal to her emotions. Bryony has a very strong moral code, and insists on always following rules and telling the truth in most circumstances with few exceptions.

Background
Bryony was raised in Appleby, a small Wizarding village in Suffolk, England. Her parents run a quaint little tea shop that serves both the muggle and wizard population of the town. Growing up Bryony would spend many days at the shop and around Appleby, which exposed her to much of muggle life. She'd often go over to her muggle friends' homes, which gave her a tolerance and appreciation for their way of life. She has 4 younger siblings who will all be following her to Hogwarts save the youngest, Oliver, who is a squib.
