The Basics:
Full Character Name: Aquanette Cybele Arceneau
Likes to be called: Cybele
Birthdate: May 16th, 1793
Age: 11
Residence: The Arceneau estate consists of a large and expansive area of forest and natural crooks and even a lake. Arceneau Manor is unplottable, and lies hidden in the outskirts of Luton, a town not far from London, England. The manor is famous for two reasons: its beautiful and intricate gardens and an aura of mystery that Muggles feel whenever they are close.
Blood: Pureblood
Social Class/father’s occupation:Extremely wealthy. Her father is a businessman involved in trade and the art of speculation (which is aided by her mother’s gift as a Seer).
The Personality
Emotional Disposition: Serene indifference.
Core Value: Arrogance.
Positive Characteristics: Aquanette is very ambitious, diligent, and responsible. She is goal-oriented, strong-willed, and proud, soft-spoken, and demure.
Negative Characteristics: She tends to be insultingly arrogant sometimes, and is also stubborn, mischievous, and capricious. She is unforgiving and conflictive at times. Also, she seems to have a problem with the word ‘no’.
Conflict and hardship:Aquanette’s spoiled personality was rooted in the neglect of her parents. While she was showered with attentions, this did not extend to affection, as she was trained to keep a polite stance all the time. She is constantly conflicted with her desire to be more expressive, impulsive and passionate, but is restrained by her upbringing and the fear of disappointing her parents.
Motivation, Passion and Drive: Aqua’s main drive is her desire to surpass everyone else. She wants to become someone important and respected and make her parents proud of her.
Motto or catchphrase: “It’s not enough that I should succeed – others should fail.”
Overall personality: Aquanette is a curious and clever little girl. She is witty, snarky and impatient, but she tries a slight to remain polite. She admittedly has a good mind to study and is a fast-learner, but prefers practicality to theory. She can be friendly enough if you don’t worry too much about the little things about her. She tries to be polite and demure most of the time even though the look is sometimes tarnished by her being a bit too aloof. She is open-minded and inquiring, but she will always try to see what works best for her. If a friendship isn’t benefitial, she would not see why continue to pursue it. She tends to be devilish and mischievous, and has a bit of a dark sense of humour. While she isn't absolutely horrible, it is more than likely that she will grow up to be a snarky little witch one day. Her voice borders on lazy sarcasm when she isn't interested in anything and she tends to be quite delicate about people giving her orders. She isn't used to much discipline in that she has pretty much always had what she wanted, and answers directly to her parents, not her tutors or nannies. She can be a bit vain and worries about her appearance to an extent. She does not like getting dirty, and thinks that animals don't belong indoors. Her cleverness has a bit of a sly side - she may or may not lie to get out of trouble, and perhaps try to blame it on someone else if she can.
Diary Entry:
Dear diary,
Today was a busy day. Mother was reorganizing the house and redecorating, so that everyone was too busy to pay me too much attention. Not that it made a difference, of course. I spent some time with father as he went to work and tried to explain something about the importance of success, but I did not quite get it. He seemed to speak as if there was an other option. At noon, I received my Hogwarts letter, and Mother sent for a dress-maker for me so that I could prepare for going to school in September. Father seemed pleased, and so did she, so this must be something good for me.
After the fittings, I went back to my lessons, which are no doubled. I hardly had any time to practice music but Mother didn’t seem to be too bothered today. I wonder what school will be like, and if I may be allowed to take one of the house-elves.

Student Skills:
School Ethic: She has been tutored all her life by various teachers and in various areas. She knows a bit here and there.
Teacher Relation: Aquanette expects her professors to be respectful towards her first, before they can demand respect from her. She also has no idea that they can punish her and will be shocked to find out they are entitled to it.
Work Ethic and Diligence: She is diligent and goal-oriented and her work will be done impeccably if she is motivated enough to do it. This too, will be a matter of consideration as she hasn’t ever been obliged to do anything before. Her handwriting has potential to be thin and elaborate if she is forced to practice.
Subjects: She dreads the idea of History of Magic. What a boring subject, history. She is however, excited about Transfiguration, Charms and Divination.
Where don't you want to be: Aquanette has an idea Hufflepuff is for weak people and commoners. She can’t embrace the idea of relying on others too well.
