𝟎𝟐 ----- 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞

Reducio

Moving on from her days of being a frazzled and flailing first-year, Althea has become focused and dedicated great attention towards ensuring her appearance is leveraged to the maximum extent. Described by many to be akin to a solemn autumn fae with reflections of precious jade in her eyes and soft chestnut waves that frame her thin face, Althea has embraced an image of melancholic sweetness since her return to Hogwarts and has since gained a modest popularity for her quiet allure.

𝟎𝟑 ----- 𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞

Voice

Reducio

Soothing and slightly velvety, Althea's voice is a unique sound that would either grate on someone’s nerves or make them feel right at home. She had been an ace in her old Muggle school's choir and was one of the few Alto members in a team of Tenors and Sopranos, though she mostly rejected offers to perform as she disliked the crowds and uncomfortable costumes. Despite having a stutter since young, it has improved as Althea grew older.

Presence

Reducio

Distinctly tranquil yet equally unsettling, Althea brings a peculiar aura into every room she enters. Unlike how she used to instantly disturb others with her false radiance and awkward self, her presence now brings confusion and intrigue to the people in the room. Her mindfulness of her image and careful speech has also begun to make her seem rather pretentious and posh at times.

𝟎𝟒 ----- 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲

Personality

Reducio

Mellowed from the anxious and flailing witch she used to be in the first year, Althea has developed a balance between controlling her tongue in mind of her image and aligning herself firmly to the practices instilled in her from childhood. While she may no longer throw her books at those who offend or trouble her, she continues to carry her ever-persistent stubbornness to ensure she is not trampled over.

In her fourth year since her return to Hogwarts after a prolonged hiatus studying alone, she has become prone to minding her image and has sought to leverage her growing into conventional beauty standards, often intentionally disregarding personal space and tucking her hair just right to control the attention in the room.

Sexuality :

Reducio

Romance has never been her strong suit, but she appreciates beauty where beauty is.

Weaknesses:

Low Self-Esteem

Reducio

At first glance, Althea is the embodiment of the Asian humility archetype. With a denial and dismissive smile at her lips in the face of any compliment or commendation, she has immense difficulty accepting credit in fear of creating scenarios that trap her to an image she cannot live up to. While she has learnt to thank and internalise small victories and praise, she often forgets that they are a product of her own efforts.

Perfectionism

Reducio

Years in the lively and liberal environment of Hogwarts have afforded Althea some degree of grace to herself when it comes to imperfections in herself and others. Perfectionism in her has changed its form, opting to pivot from hours rewriting essays and arranging her desk to preparing herself immaculately for every social interaction and creating the best image of herself to betray no flaws. She often spends much time minding her presence and image.

Anxiety & Recklessness

Reducio

With her crushing obsession over control climbing new, dangerous peaks, Althea finds herself crippled with anxiety and intrusive thoughts in daily life, particularly in moments of vulnerability. When the world caves in and silence is a forgotten concept in her mind, she cannot help but throw herself into dangerous scenarios to regain semblances of control. From an intentional burn on the cauldron from Potions class to unpredictable situationships with a classmate, Althea’s boundaries grow blurrier.

Strengths:

Reducio

-She is stubborn. In a good way, of course.
-Language Arts. She is quite good at languages.
-Handicraft.
-She is so acquainted with failure that she could fail at everything and still won't mind trying, if she puts her mind to it.

Father - Leo Daniel Valeden

Reducio

Information :

Reducio

Leo is a humble and fair man who dedicated his life to curing and healing the wounded. He may seem like a stern man, but under his stony expression is a kind heart made of gold. Leo had been a clever member of the Ravenclaw House during his years at Hogwarts and was known for his excellent skills in Healing Magic. He cares deeply for his loved ones and is willing to go above and beyond to protect those he cares about, even if it would bring harm to himself. Leo is a pure-blooded wizard and part of the infamous Valeden Family, but was disowned by his family after he chose to pursue his dream job as a healer and chose to marry his muggle-born wife. Leo Valeden was declared to be in a medical coma at St. Mungo's two days later, after he was rescued from a fire on August 25th, 2020.

Leo is the son of Nathaniel Valeden and Rachel Valeden(née Auton).

Trust - 100%.

Reducio

Althea would jump off a tall oak tree without a safety net underneath if her father promised her she would survive the fall and be alright. Trusting her father is like a practical instinct for her. After her mother's death, her father was there every step of the way and never failed to pick her up after a bad spiral.

Communication - 100%.

Reducio

Althea finds her father easy to confide in and would offer almost everything to speak to him again.

Attachment - 100%.

Reducio

Althea is deeply attached to her father, and having been raised strictly by her stepmother, she secretly enjoys being doted on. She prays for his health and swift awakening more than twice daily, often lingering on upsetting thoughts of him never waking.

Mother - Li Hui Zhu

Reducio

Information :

Reducio

Hui Zhu was a firm but caring mother to Althea, who would move mountains for her loved ones if she had to. She was a hardworking Ravenclaw during her time at Hogwarts and had excelled in the Potions Subject, though she wasn't noticed much in her student years as she was considered "average". She would move on to become a journalist and writer for several Muggle magazines and publications despite her OWLs and NEWTs pointing to a career in potions, which Althea still admires greatly to this day.

Li Hui Zhu was declared dead on 15 December 2013 at a Muggle hospital four hours after she was recovered by authorities from the remnants of an elevator collapse.

She was the daughter of Li Zhen Han and Li Ayaka(née Kuragane).

Trust - 85%.

Communication - ??%.

Attachment - 50%.

Reducio

Although the trauma of her mother's death is far-reaching in impact, Althea finds herself only sometimes pondering and longing for her mother, having lived without her for so long. When she does, she wonders about a life where her mother still lived, and often flips through her mother's old works.

Godfather - Charles Alvin Daiz

Reducio

Information :

Reducio

Charles is an outgoing man who has always been a charmer without even trying. He is extremely close to Leo Valeden, who has been his best friend since they attended Hogwarts together back in the day. Charles had been in the Gryffindor House and graduated to join the Ministry of Magic as an Auror.

Charles Daiz is a recovering patient in St. Mungo's Hospital after being a victim of a fire that happened on August 25th, 2020.

He is the son of Terrence Daiz and Lila Daiz(née Seana).

Trust - 80%.

Reducio

Althea used to see her godfather quite often when she was young, and she had learnt that he was as brave as he was kind and caring. She has almost complete trust in him, though she used to hesitate at times because he had snitched on her, trying to steal caramels from the cabinet when he babysat her at the age of six.

Communication - 100%.

Reducio

Before growing quiet as her education progressed, Althea loved to chit-chat with her godfather when he came to their house and would spend hours listening to his stories about his job as an auror. Now that her father is in his comatose state, she finds herself confiding and seeking guidance from her godfather more often than not.

Attachment - 95%.

Reducio

Althea was distraught at the news of the fire that injured her godfather, almost to the extent of her heartache at her father’s comatose state from the same accident. She has had much difficulty reconciling with losses since her mother's death when she was young, so it was almost certain that she lost sleep over this.

Relationships :

@Hanako Tone, Slytherin Seventh Year - "Friend! I hope!"

Reducio

They are the same age and met on the Hogwarts Express in their first year, building their friendship on a shaky bet, lots of book throwing, and a legendary push into the Great Lake. After some orange juice dribbles and banter, it seemed to have worked somewhat, because they even had a friendly conversation at a ball! During Althea’s temporary hiatus due to her father’s condition, she had missed much of school and her chances at further developing her delicate friendship with Hanako. She is quite fond of his snarky nature and hopes that they will remain friends, even going as far as reconciling with him at the scene of the crime the Great Lake.

@Dealla Prince, Ravenclaw Seventh Year- Friend & Tutor (?)

Reducio

After being accused of almost killing Dealla through an act of sabotage that Althea could not even cast, the two girls managed to navigate through their bewildering first encounter and begin a fragile friendship. Dealla even offered to tutor Althea to help her spell-casting, which resulted in a truly unforgettabletutoring session that probably was better suited in a mind healer's office.

@Rosaline Everhart, Gryffindor First Year

Reducio

A junior that Althea is fond of. They participated in countless activities together since Althea returned from her hiatus, including the Drowned Palace, an informal racing match, and an informal Quidditch match.

Reducio

A junior that Althea is fond of. They participated in countless activities together since Althea returned from her hiatus, including the Drowned Palace and an informal Quidditch match.
