{Personality} Dea can be quite blunt. She's honest, easy to anger, and always seems to be simmering below the surface. Her small stature makes her feel fragile in the eyes of those who don't know her. So she puffs herself up.

She tries her best to be as friendly as possible, and she's generally considered quite an open person. Dea can be sensitive, and her temper is a ticking time-bomb. She's very impulsive, and quick to anger. She's even quicker still to act on her emotions. It's gotten her in trouble before, but nothing that she couldn't handle. However, she is an empathetic soul, no matter how much she tries to hide it. She cares deeply for others, so deep it can endanger her own wellbeing, sometimes. She just does stupidly brave things, and that doesn't always end up well for her.

Lydea is extremely loyal, especially to her friends and family. She doesn't take threats against them lightly, and can be quite aggressive and protective when it comes to their safety. She's a determined thing, and stubborn as hell. She feels an intense need to finish every argument, which may be linked to the fact that she often feels as though she must prove herself and her worth. She's more than a little bit of a troublemaker, too, thanks to some friendly influences. She likes to laugh, and as a fairly bright-spirited person with her friends, Dea enjoys harmless pranks and mischief.

{Appearance} Lydea stands at a measly 4'8, looks like a twig. Her hair, a rusty red, hangs over her shoulders in a long bob style, and her face is framed by slight curtain bangs. Her large, almond-shaped eyes are the color of a dark, reddy whiskey, and are almost always sparking with mischief. Her skin is pale, and covered in freckles from time spent in the sun, with a healthy splattering across her nose. She's an odd beauty, with a delicate, pixieish facial structure. With a button nose and sharp angles and a permanent smirk, "trouble" seems to be stamped on her forehead. She has a noticeable scar above her left eyebrow that stretches up toward her hairline, though it is hidden by her hair.

{History} Dea grew up in Killarney, Ireland (so yes, she's Irish), which is a pretty small town considering the population is under fifteen thousand. Her da's (Ian Wayland) from Wiltshire, England, but he moved to Australia when he was ten. He met her mother (Joslyn) while she was on holiday there, so he moved to Killarney with her and now he builds boats (really nice ones at that) for a living. He's some sort of architect, but Dea doesn't quite know what type. Joslyn runs a shop where she makes and sells clothes. She always wanted to be a designer, but never had the money to move anywhere else.

As a muggle-born, Lydea's parents obviously never expected to have a magical daughter. So when she started having accidental magic incidents at the age of seven (involving some serious bouts of flames bursting from her ears), they didn't quite know what to think. They're honestly a little...freaked out by the whole thing, but don't tell their daughter that.

She grew up with a pretty normal, happy childhood until her magic ended up leaking through with her emotions. At nine, she got in a schoolyard fight with a boy who insulted her hair and bullied her often. Eventually, she lost her patience and slapped him. Except, the slap had some literal heat to it, and left the boy with a burn in the shape of a handprint for several weeks.
