✦──Architect INTJ A.
Though she falls outside the norm of English wizarding society, Sarai isn't a witch who should be crossed or underestimated despite her indisputable charm. Logical, intuitive, and quick-witted, Sarai exercises great authority and demonstrates an adaptable disposition that is entirely at the mercy of the company she keeps.

REPUTATION.
First and foremost, Sarai's utmost priority is herself, and she is renowned for pursuing her interests with an iron fist. Her versatility reveals her to be equally as harsh as she can be kind depending on what best serves her aims. Considering her heritage and aptitude for magic, Sarai exudes the reputation of superiority, but she is overprotective and solicitous of the few she cherishes, should her colleagues and students prove worthy of her approval.
.
.
INTERESTS.----
Proving to be quite the capable and studious witch, Sarai took a shine to dueling at Castelobruxo, being a sort of child prodigy in her village leading into adulthood. She is also all-consumed with meticulous skill and dedication to potion-making—that is, until Sarai recognizes her knack for botany. As herbalism has since become her chief focus, Sarai tends to her herbal collection and dabbles in her work as a healer.

"Flexible, very appropriate for a duelist; efficient for both attack and defensive spells."
Subtle yet dignified, a wand perfectly suited for Sarai. It is said that the rare cherry wood creates a wand of extremely formidable and potentially lethal power, especially when paired with the potent dragon heartstring; this wand becomes a force to be reckoned with, requiring a wizard of unwavering tenacity and self-control. Flexible, snappy, and yet undeniably effective, Sarai's wandwork embodies the fluidity of a viper; her spells and hexes often launching with both velocity and precision.

Sarai Toussaint | Professor of Herbology
Mental Description: will eventually format better
Positive:
Proud, Eccentric, Driven, Adaptable
Neutral:
Reserved, Witty, Intelligent, Competitive
Negative:
Sarcastic, Impulsive, Forthright, Critical
---
Although Sarai is deeply proud of her heritage and holds high regard for loyalty similarly to her family members, she much prefers the peace of her own company. Oftentimes, she is extremely particular about who she allows into her personal space, where Sarai is most content being her charming, eccentric, and humorous self, which she frequently masks. Quick-witted, forthright, and sarcastic when comfortable or challenged, Sarai demonstrates an adaptable disposition that is entirely at the mercy of the company she keeps; be it good or bad.

Having the insatiable thirst to absorb new information, Sarai is deeply intelligent and well-versed in her subject and others that pique her interest, and oftentimes has the tendency to overextend herself if she discovers a new topic that she's passionate about. Her impulsivity is most often scorned by her mother and grandmother, but it makes for a welcome change from the traditional classroom environment one might expect. Much like her aptitude with a wand, Sarai is also adaptable in her teaching style and accommodates many different types of learning; she offers her students engaging classes that feature more hands-on approaches than paper assignments.

Despite her reserved demeanor, Sarai isn't afraid to express her opinions, but won't openly state her direct dissatisfaction or judgments unless asked. She can be quite critical of herself and others; for her students in particular, Sarai is unrelenting due to her profound concern if potential is being wasted.

Sarai Toussaint | Professor of Herbology
Physical Description: Standing at the average height of 5’5”, Sarai is a lightskinned woman with gunmetal blue almond-shaped eyes, full lips, and a rounded face. She often wears her hair in its natural brown kinky textured tresses, but has mastered the Colovaria charm and often utilizes a comb of Vanity to experiment with an array of styles. Her most distinctive feature is her sense of style; Sarai takes great pride in her appearance and rarely ventures out in public without makeup or jewelry, and her wardrobe is best described as casual and simplistic. She wears a dainty silver septum piercing and multiple piercings on both ears, and the size and design of her earrings will almost always compliment her day’s outfit.

Sarai Toussaint | Professor of Herbology
h i s t o r y
BACKSTORY. Leveraging magic to blend seamlessly with the rugged foresty landscape, the shamanic Toussaint line remains one of few wizarding families that have survived for generations in isolation in the Chaîne de la Selle mountains. They assert even more history through tales told from generation to generation; however, there is no conclusive evidence to verify the truth from fables. One thing that is certain is that the Toussaint bloodline is ancient, allegedly being the first wizarding family to have derived from Hispaniola.

As the world surrounding their home seemed to shift, the Toussaint's lived in harmony with their land, seldom engaging in the muggle world around them. Returning with outsiders of either wizard or muggle origin was not uncommon and made for a unique cultural blend, despite diluting their bloodline. Over time, the village included a few dozen families consisting of both wizardkind and muggles of relations.

In the case of Sarai's parents, Ionna Rosario Ortiz and Bamidele "Bami" Toussaint, they would meet at Castelobruxo. The two would steadily spend more time together throughout their academic years, and would continue to date after they graduated before getting married soon after. The couple would establish their business endeavors; Bami specializing as a wandmaker and Ionna as a potioneer for several years before bringing three children into the world: Akeem, Makaria, and Sarai. Both Bami and Ionna would not take sole accountability as their caretakers of the children, preferring the entire village to collectively raise the new generation together as they had for centuries. The three Toussaint's were each instilled early on with the importance of respect, hard work, and being encouraged to emulate their elders. The kids fared well under the guidance of the village, but would be problematic in their own rights.

FIRST INSTANCE OF MAGIC. Surrounded by magic her whole life, none were surprised Sarai showed her first instance early in her youth. Truthfully, the child was more concerned that her mother would be furious that she ruined a perfectly brewed potion.
Reducio
When Sarai was six years old, Makaria, Sarai's older sister, and Keme, their cousin, would sneak into their mother's storage; the idea would be Keme's, and despite earlier warnings to keep out, Sarai being naive would complacently follow their lead. A large black cauldron stood in the middle of the room midst the crowding of potted plants scattered on various surface and shelved tomes, vials, and jars collecting dust. It would be the first time any of the three would be inside the room, so rather than erring on the side of caution in their trespassing, the elder two unraveling the secrets the room contained.

During their exploration, a vibrant orange potion struck the attention of the kids; Makaria and Sarai both demanded a turn holding the large glass vial for a closer look. Keme would toss the potion from across the room to Makaria, who would then throw it back when satisfied. Young Sarai would jump in the air multiple times in attempt to catch the potion in flight, which struck Keme and Makaria to continue this game only they were privy to. This continued in several relays to one another, until finally, Sarai leapt high enough to disrupt the flight of the free-flying potion; it would smack against Sarai's hand, but her little fingers could not secure the vial in time, causing it to break into large chunks on the floor.

Following the large crash that echoed throughout the space and orange liquid splattering across the floor, Keme and Makaria fled the room, leaving Sarai alone with the mess. Fearing punishment, Sarai's eyes welled up with hot tears as her mother's stern threats and warnings echoed as she neared the storeroom. Rather than being greeted with punishment from her mother's wrath, the room would go silent, causing Sarai to open her eyes in confusion. With only the orange liquid remaining on the floor, the jar would be intact yet again, and Iona would embrace her youngest daughter, overjoyed that Sarai was a witch.

CASTELOBRUXO. In 2003, a bright Banded Cotinga swooped in and delivered her acceptance letter to Castelobruxo following Sarai's 11th birthday. For the greater part of her schooling, Sarai strove to outperform elder siblings and cousins, avoiding shenanigans and utilizing her fierce drive to hone her craft. Sarai possessed the same slick tongue as her predecessors, and outside of witty remarks that garnered admiration and respect from her peers, she preferred to keep to herself if she could. In her free time, Sarai took up dueling and excelled in courses requiring a wand or keen mind as a result of her aptitude. She graduated in 2010 at the top of her class, excelling in History, Philosophy, Herbology, and Ritual Magic.

ADULTHOOD. Much to her parents' chagrin upon her graduation, Sarai decided not to pursue a career in Politics despite possessing the competitive, cunning, and ambitious edge that would have helped her succeed. Instead, she would assume the role of a Research Aide under her grandmother's tutelage. Sarai also resumed her fling with a wizard named Armand, whom she shared an intermittent relationship with throughout their years at Castelobruxo. Through hard work and tenacity, Sarai would begin her ascent into the world of Herbology before it was revealed she would be carrying twins. Pregnancy did not stop Sarai from evolving into a studious woman and mastering her craft, though as time elapsed, she became estranged from Armand and the village to tend to her herbal collection.

The Haitian woman would deliver two sons the evening of July 21st, and with the concourse of Armand, they were named Abel and Jonas. Sarai strove to be involved as she could in the lives of her sons despite her dangerous line of work, though preferred their father to care for their progeny to avoid their exposure to hazardous plants. Immersing herself in the study of Ritual Magic and Herbology, Sarai was believed with enough experimentation, both could be integrated into her expertise as an Herbologist. Her profession provided scarce opportunity to devote to Abel and Jonas in their youth, but maintained a watchful eye on her sons when in her care. As the boys aged from adolescence to preteen, Sarai remained a demanding mother who prioritized their success and hardly accepted anything but the best. When the two departed home for their first year at Castelobruxo, Sarai was informed Hogwarts was seeking an Herbology Professor and immediately applied.

Sarai obtained the role of Professor of Herbology on January 10, 2024.
