Nina Vikström is the eldest child in the Vikström family. She lives in a small two floored house in London with her parents, Christina and Juhani, and her younger brother Max. They both are Half-bloods because their father is a muggle and their mother is a witch. You mave have probably noticed her quite unusual surname. That is because both her brother and herself have their father's surname, who was born in Finland, while their mother is from England. Since Nina was 8 years old, she started to show signs that she had magic. Small but still strange things started happening, like small objects randomly floating or changing place around her, or some things like clothes, pencils or even walls started changing colors. Her brother hasn't shown any noticeable signs jet, but he is still 7 years old.

Appearance


Nina has pale, noticeably foreigner skin thanks to her dad. She also has long, copper colored curly hair and her eyes are slightly bigger than average and they are a mixture of dark green and blue. Depending on the lighting they may look more green or blue. She is also slightly taller than average, but not much so.

Traits


Nina is an extremely shy girl. She has a lot of trouble starting conversations, mostly because her anxiety makes her over-think everything. Many people usually note that while she might stutter when starting a conversation, she usually doesn't seem to have much trouble answering when someone else starts the conversation. Also, she is a naturally quiet girl. Though she loves to chat with friendly people, she usually doesn't speak much if it isn't necessary, she never speaks in class without permission, and her voice is always quiet, almost like she can't raise it. Her brother used to tease her because of it, saying that she has "the voice of a squirrel". But despite her fears and insecurities, she is very loyal to her friends and won't hesitate to stand up for them and be there for them when she is needed.

Likes


-She loves plush toys. Since very young she has always loved plush animals and toys, but she doesn't admit it if she doesn't trust the person enough.

-Her favorite animal is a tiger. This is partly her father's fault since he literally gave ger the name "Tiger" as her second name.

-She loves to draw in her sketchbook that she usually always carries with her.

-She loves milk chocolate and apple pie. Those are her favorite desserts. That's why she loves chocolate frogs.

-Her favorite food is ham and cheese quiche.

Dislikes


-Closed places. She has claustrophobia and gets extremely nervous in small and closed places, even in small classrooms.

-She hates crowds because of her claustrophobia.

-Having to start a conversation. But she is learning to get les scared doing so. She also hates any kind of bullying.

-The food she hates the most is octopus. She also doesn't like chewy foods much.

-The candy's she dislikes the most are toffee and licorice. She absolutely despises the Finnish candy her dad loves called Salmiakki (it's salty licorice).

Extra info


-If she sometime gets a pet, she would like to have a cat. She would also love to have an owl, but she prefers a cat because she wants a pet she can, well, pet in her room. She would want to call her cat Viiru after a Nordic cartoon cat.

-She is bilingual. She can speak English and Finnish since her parents didn't want their children to loose either language. So since she was born, her mother speaks English to her while her father speaks Finnish to her.

-Her wand is a cherry wood wand with a dragon heartstring core. She was told when the wand chose her that it was a really powerful wand, and that it was a dangerous wand the wand when teamed with a wizard without exceptional self-control and strength of mind. This scares her.

-She can draw characters, animals and scenery, but scenery is the most difficult for her out of these.

Friendships


She didn't have many friends in Muggle school, and she wished this would change here in Hogwarts. Luckily for her it did.

Sophie Murphy is her best friend, she was the first girl who she had the courage to talk to and she is even willing to go on adventures with her despite of her fear of getting caught. Sophie is also the only person she has been capable of speaking to outside of the girls in her dorm room. She finds her energetic way of acting and speaking comfortable, but she can't really tell the reason why.

Ginny Weasley's Dorm:

Alice Swan: Alice is the first girl she met at her dorm room, since she was the first there. Though a bit quiet, Nina liked her from the start, and she hopes to see some of her drawings someday.


Riven Stell: Riven was the second girl she met at the dorm room, and Nina feels like she can relate to her shyness. She thinks Riven is a sweet girl and personally finds her remark of this being an "all artists bunk" very amusing, and has since started to refer to her dorm room as such in her head.


Amalia Gonville: The third girl to arrive at the "all artists bunk", and probably the one she seems to get along the best with from there, since she met her in the common room already. Similar to with her best friend, she finds her upbeat personality comfortable to interact with, though she doesn't know why.
