❊ RAELYNN QUINTIN is a RAVENCLAW and is in her SEVENTH YEAR. Her face claim is TAYLOR SWIFT and she is TAKEN.
"Great minds have purposes, others have wishes”
No one ever wants to admit that their family is poor. Instead they say lower-middle class, or that they’re going through hard times at the moment but Raelynn was smarter then the average school kid who believed the lies. She knew what drugs were, what alcohol was, and how they could destroy a family in an instant. She was six years old when her father decided to choose them over her mother and herself. The two became closer then any best friends which is why Rae never really made friends in school. She wasn’t afraid to be herself which was reserved, cynical, quiet and intelligent. Never in her life had she had the urge to become involved in preteen drama since it was a complete waste of time. She had more important things to do like find a job to support her mother, get exceptional grades for scholarships and learn how to play the guitar so she could expand on her scholarship opportunities.
When she received her Hogwarts letter Raelynn was less then pleased. How could she leave the only person who stood beside her for her whole life? Rae had just about made up her mind not to go, but her mother was the one who pushed her. She had always told her that the greatest adventure was the unknown, so after researching the wizarding world extensively, Rae said goodbye on Sept 1st on the platform. Her first year was the roughest by far because she had no idea what awaited her. After sticking to the shadows fr the first three years Rae started to branch out a bit, making friends with her other classmates. She had always been told that she was mature for her age, but Rae never noticed it until she started talking to others. Often she can sound condescending or pompous, but she can’t help it. Rae can best be described as a hard worker, but not even that begins to cover it. She studies relentlessly to make her mother proud in hope that her father will see what a bright young woman she’s become, and regret his decision.
As the years went by Rae came more and more out of her shell trying hard to make friends. Her goal for her seventh year is to branch out of the Ravenclaws and experiment with making friends in other houses, although her stern look scares some away. With the upcoming war, muggle disappearances and murders she’s worried about her mother now more than ever. Everyday she sends her owls checking up on her which causes her to pull away from society even more. Many think she’s just being anti-social, but her close friends know (mainly the other Ravenclaw girls) that she is a completely loyal friend who’s not afraid to tell the truth to keep them safe. Once you befriend this stern Raven, you’ll see that her smile can light up a whole town.
