Name: Valerie Phoebe Fabré
Blood Status: Half-blood
Date of Birth: November 27th, 2005
Place of Birth: Beaune, Burgundy, France
Valerie is the daughter of Antoine Fabré, a half-blood wizard, and Philipa Parkinson-Fabré, a wizard-born squib. Her father is half-British with a French muggle mother and a British pure-blood father, and her mother was born and raised as a British pure-blood witch until her eleventh birthday. After she didn't get a Hogwarts letter and her family discovered that she was indeed a squib she was sent to her great-aunt Phoebe in France, who had married a muggle man and consequently been cast out from the family. Valerie's parents therefore met in France and are fluent in both languages.

Valerie grew up in Beaune, France, where her mother helps running the vineyard owned by Phoebe and her husband César.

She has a brother, Vincent Fabré, who is almost seven years younger than her. Her father works for the French Ministry of Magic as a muggle-relations person since he grew up living as a muggle until he was admitted to Beauxbatons. He currently works undercover as a muggle in the French embassy in London, but hopes that he can be back with his family soon.

Valerie didn't really want to go to Hogwarts, but doesn't mind as Beauxbatons isn't really closer to her home and she can only see her muggle friends from town in the holidays anyway. Her parents chose Hogwarts over Beauxbatons - the school her father and his twin sister Aurore went to - since Valerie displayed strong magic that could take on a volatile nature form a young age. They attributed this to her heritage from both her grandfather's and her mother's side of the family and decided after careful consideration that Valerie would be better suited for Hogwarts than the more peaceful Beauxbatons.

Valerie has a strong personality for an eleven year old. She is stubborn and doesn't like to admit a wrong, but is clever and learns easily, which covers the former. Based on her heritage she is extremely prejudiced against pure-bloods, as neither her mother, nor "grandma Phoebe", nor her grandfather ever had anything good to say about them. She will be passive aggressive towards any kind of blood purity and look down on the people displaying such tendencies. Valerie is also used to being one of the, if not the, smartest kid in the room and won't listen to others if she gets the impression that they are her intellectual inferiors. She is curious by nature and usually asks lots of questions if something has drawn her interest.

Since both English and French were spoken in her father's home as well as her mother's she is fluent in English, but will adapt a heavy French accent just to annoy certain people she dislikes.

Valerie - as her father, aunt and brother - favors her grandfather's side of the family in looks. She has olive skin, is lean and has light grey eyes. Her hair however is the straight, pitch-black of the Parkinson family (which she hates the most of all pure-bloods for how they treated her mother and grandma).

She likes being outside in the sun, learning new things, puzzles, playing with her brother Vincent, her grandpa's bread and old places. She dislikes being babied by strangers, thunderstorms, and having to go to bed early.
