She is unique and strong, one of a kind.
Diary Entry:
Dear Diary,
Both Sabrae and I received our letters today. But there is a difference. I had already knew what it contained, it was something that all wizarding children would be anticipating, but I could not force any interest out for the letter. Back then, I could only force a smile on my face while watching Sab reading his letter out loud in excitement. I was happy for him, I really was. But the letters and his happiness only serve as a reminding of the fact that we are going to be leaving our parents, and to a foreign place with foreign people soon.
How can I possibly stand to leave my parents? Even now, I could not bring myself to imagine life without seeing them everyday, asking them for help. Life without their smiles, without their love, and without their assurances. I am quiet, I am withdrawn to my world. Everyone knows that, and I am fully aware. And Sab has been the opposite, we are like halves to a whole, and I know that I could never feel complete again if he leaves me, which is going to happen soon.
I am sure that Hogwarts would be eye-opening, but I doubt that I would be making any friends.
Friends.
That word even sounds alien and unfamiliar to me.
Am I a freak?
Sabrae and my parents always insist otherwise, but that wasn't always enough for me to believe that it was not so.
Now that I am going to be away from them, I wonder where I might be able to find my solitude...
The Appearance
First Impression: Sylverster is definitely a person who captures you the minute you see her. Her long ebony hair and her gray eyes are a sharp contrast against her pale skin, she's quiet, but she walks with grace that her mother taught her, exuding an air of calm confidence that might be mistaken as haughty.
On Second thought..:
If you look closer, her stance is also wary and cautious, and in a flash, all these signs would disappear, and the only impression you would get is that this girl is mysterious and hard to understand. But when she smiles, everything is livened up and you would find it hard to believe that she is actually a very passionate and lively girl.

They got married at nineteen, with approval from both their families.

Other important figures: None
Reputation: Her family does not expose themselves much to the society, so not many knows much about them, hence everyone is always alert when they appear in public. wary of what the family is capable of. Sylverster herself is known to be the silent and rather intimidating heiress of the family, but her reputation does not speak the truth.

General: None
The Wizard Information:
Wand:12", Holly, Dragon
Holly is a powerful protective wood that good for use against evil, but it also represents dreams and fertility. The dragon's heartstring core makes the wand very effective in hexes and spells.

Specific Questions for Purebloods:
Are there any magical items in your house, how about a house elf? There are many magical items in the Kelestral Manor, since the family has been powerful and respected. But most of them are kept in the ancestor room and Sinclair's study. They also own 3 house elves, but they treat them fairy, not with any forms of malice and disgust.
How strict were your parents in enforcing no underage magic? Since they are Ministry officials, they usually keep a close eye on Sylverster and Sabrae, and they have no choice but to dish out punishments when the both of them practices spells secretly, and that happens all the time.
Are there any spells which are used a lot by your parents? They use a lot of location spells because Sylverster often wander off into the woods near their manor and they need the spells to find them.
Has you character always known they were magical or did they worry they were a squib? She has known that she was a witch since young because her parents had told her about magic and there was once, when she was three years old, that she had caused a stone to accidentally crash into the manor and shattered several windows.
Does your character have any strong feelings (good or bad) about magic or is it just part of their life? She is passionate about magic and it is an essential part of her life, she can never do without it.
Student Skills:
School Ethic: She thinks that the school's rich history and resources would help her to learn more. Also, she could not possibly avoid interactions with kids of her age forever, and there's got to be more people who are better than those pureblood spoilt-brats that she encounter unwillingly.
Teacher Relation: She would not be intimidated by any teachers, but would pay attention during lessons and make notes, complete tasks competently, and seek help from teachers when needed.
Work Ethic and Diligence: She would be neat and treat her belongings with care. She would do her best while completing assigned tasks and would read more in her free time.
Subjects: She loves Defence against Dark Arts and Care of Magical Creatures, and would work hard in the other subjects.
Where don't you want to be: Nowhere, all the houses are equally promising.
