She is shorter than most of the girls in her year and she has a lean frame. Her thin body is exemplified by her long legs, slim arms, and small waist.

FASHION Evera opts for comfort over fashion and usually wears over-sized shirts or tank tops paired with jeans and her beat-up tennis shoes. On especially cold days, she'll wear large hoodies, crewnecks, or sweatshirts to conserve body heat. During warmer seasons, she'll switch to shorts and leggings or knee-length socks in order to accommodate the hotter temperatures.
Don't judge on what you see:
 
PERSONALITY
social, forgiving, daring, outgoing, competitive, adventurous, lively, kind, childish, generous, nit-picky, stubborn

Evera is a social butterfly and believes a person can never have too many friends. Becoming friends with people is like second nature to her. Whenever she meets shy or aloof people, she makes it her personal mission to become friends with them in hopes that they become more outgoing. Evera finds it depressing when people are lonely and do not have many friends. She wants to make people smile and know that someone out there cares about them. Evera adopts a polite yet jovial tone whenever she meets someone new and always tries her best to create a comfortable environment so they can get to know each other.

Being an extremely competitive person, Evera always pushes herself to win and be the best at everything. She expects nothing less than perfection from herself and can be quite nit-picky as a result. Although she sometimes has the disadvantage or a small chance of winning, Evera never backs down and wholeheartedly throws herself into the competition or task at hand. Evera refuses to ever quit or give up; in fact, she despises quitters the most. She reasons that her competitive nature allows her to take many more opportunities to learn and grow whether she wins or loses. But if she can avoid losing, she will do so to the best of her abilities. Evera is also extremely ruthless on the Quidditch field and allows her hot-headed, competitive side to take over her usual amicability. It is much easier this way for her to be focused during the game and it shows with her exceptional flying prowess. She hates losing in Quidditch even more than she does in anything else, and is easily goaded by her opponents who look down on her.

With a taste for adventure, Evera loves experiencing new and thrilling things. Evera is free-spirited and enjoys life with all of its surprises. She lives life to the fullest and will not hesitate to try something new. She loves attempting the impossible and never backs down from a challenge. Evera is not afraid to make a fool of herself and believes that having fun is much more important than maintaining a reputation that could change with one small action. She is loud and hyperactive, and sees life as a gigantic, never-ending party.

It is not easy to anger Evera, because she is quite forgiving. However, if she is rubbed the wrong way, Evera's immature side will appear. She will become childishly stubborn and will vehemently defend her position until the end. Evera never forgets any dispute or argument she has ever had, but does not bring up past fights in retaliation during current fights. Luckily, Evera does not often engage in quarrels and when she does, they last for a few minutes at the most. For her to either argue with someone for longer than ten minutes or try to hex someone signifies a serious issue between the two of them.

One of Evera's weak points is her extreme generosity. Being generous is normally a favorable character trait, but she unconsciously takes generosity to a whole different level. Evera always puts others before herself and never thinks about the repercussions this causes. She is often late to classes, because she cannot tear herself away whenever she is helping a person in need. This makes Evera a bit of a pushover and some people take advantage of her in this way. Luckily, her friends know how generous she can be, so they try not to ask anything of her unless it is extremely urgent and needs to be done right away.

BACKGROUND 
Evera was born in Stockholm, Sweden, on April 18, 1973, into the House of Sylvester. The Sylvesters originated from Britain, but Winfred and Glinda had moved to Sweden shortly after the Wizarding War started. Because Glinda was pregnant with their first child, Winfred wanted to keep her safe from Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Even though his job as an Auror required that he fight against the Dark Wizards, his first priority was protecting his family. Glinda's younger sister joined them to help take care of Glinda so that Winfred could travel back and forth from Sweden to Britain to do his part in the war. Soon after Winfred and Glinda settled down in Stockholm, their first child, Kent, was born. Three years later, Evera became the newest addition to the Sylvester family.

When Evera was seven years old, the Sylvesters moved to London after the Wizarding War ended and Voldemort disappeared. A year later, Kent received his letter to Hogwarts on his eleventh birthday and the occasion was joyous for the entire family. Although Evera was sad to see her older brother leave her, she was also extremely ecstatic that he would be taking his first proper steps into becoming a full-fledged wizard. Whenever he returned home for the holidays, she bombarded him with questions about his classes, his peers, and his life in general at school. Evera spent much of her time flying and playing Quidditch by herself once Kent left to Hogwarts. At night, she explored the nooks and crannies of her house or played with the harmless magical objects that her father sometimes brought home. Knowing that their daughter was lonely without her brother and that they would not be home often because of their busy jobs, Winfred and Glinda bought Evera an owl to keep her company.

Three years later, Evera finally received her own letter to Hogwarts and Kent generously bought her a new broom while they were shopping for school supplies in Diagon Alley, even though first years were not allowed to bring their own personal brooms, to celebrate this rite of passage. He also offered to say it was his and keep it with him at school, so that Evera would not get in trouble for possessing a broom and she could take it from Kent's room whenever she wanted to fly at Hogwarts. She couldn't wait to finally start school, which had been a dream of hers since Kent had first stepped onto Platform Nine and Three-Quarters to board the Hogwarts Express.

TRIVIA

- Her wand is 11 inches, rowan wood, unicorn hair core, and slightly yielding flexibility.

- She hates being rushed, since she is a person who moves at her own pace, so this will irk her beyond belief.

- Her legs twitch when she is nervous.
- She explains things really fast when she has a lot to say.
- She drums her fingers on tables when she is bored.

Those who shape me:
 
FAMILY

Father | Winfred Sylvester | 41 | Halfblood | Auror from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic | Ravenclaw | practical, level-headed, organized | Evera views Winfred as a teacher and father figure combined. They love holding intellectual debates with each other and keep a running tally of whoever wins each one. The two do not get to see each other much, because Evera is at Hogwarts for most of the year and Winfred has a very rigorous schedule due to his job as an Auror. When they do get to spend quality time with each other, they mostly discuss current world events in both the wizarding world and the Muggle world.

Mother | Glinda (née Chambers) Sylvester | 38 | Halfblood | Healer from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries | Hufflepuff | gentle, caring, serene | Evera is the daughter that Glinda always dreamed of having after Kent was born. Glinda constantly showers her daughter with affection and love, and never hesitates to give her daughter what she wants. Fortunately, Evera does not ask for much from her mother, knowing that doing so would be immorally taking advantage of her generosity.

Older Brother | Kent Sylvester | 14 | Halfblood | Student from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry | Gryffindor | witty, charming, fearless | Evera greatly admires Kent and thinks he is one of the greatest people she has ever known. Evera looks up to Kent, who is her role model, and aspires to be like him. Kent's charm is something Evera wishes she possessed and she always pesters him to teach her his ways whenever the two of them are together.

FRIENDS

Best Friend | Drake Jarvis | 11 | Halfblood | Student from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry | Gryffindor | confident, sarcastic, brave | If Evera did not have Kent as her older brother, Drake would be the one she would aspire to be like. They love teasing each other for hours on end, knowing that the other person will not get angry because they are just that close. Drake always looks out for Evera and does his best to make sure that harm will not come to her.

Best Friend | Jemma Finnegan | 11 | Halfblood | Student from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry | Gryffindor | bright, optimistic, spirited | Since Jemma is just as outgoing as Evera is, the two of them clicked right away and began constantly hanging out with each other. Evera knows that she can always come to Jemma whenever she is having a bad day and needs someone to spill her problems to. Jemma will always find a way to make Evera smile and Evera admires how her best friend always manages to keep her chin up, even when life seems to be at its most depressing moments.

Friend | Charlie Weasley | 11 | Pureblood | Student from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry | Gryffindor | wild, energetic, whimsical | Evera and Charlie have a friendly Quidditch rivalry going on, since they both love to fly and are talented at the sport. They also share a similar love for magical creatures, especially dragons, which they love to talk about with each other. The two friends feed off of each other's boundless energy, and it is never quiet whenever they are together.
A new adventure:
 
ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT GOING TO HOGWARTS? "Yes, I am! I can finally join my older brother, Kent, at the best school in the world! He's told me so many exciting stories about his adventures at Hogwarts and now it's time for me to go on my own adventures!"

WHICH HOUSE DO YOU WANT TO GET INTO? "Gryffindor! It's the house that Kent is in and one of its house colors is red, which is my favorite color."

IS THERE A HOUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE IN? "I don't dislike any of the other houses, but it wouldn't be very convenient if I were sorted into Slytherin. None of my family has ever been in Slytherin, and Kent told me about the rivalry between Gryffindor and Slytherin. I don't want to be against him if I can help it."

WHICH CLASS ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? "Care of Magical Creatures! Dragons and unicorns are my favorite magical creatures, and it'd be awesome to see them in real life!"

WILL YOU BE TRYING OUT FOR QUIDDITCH? "Of course! I've been waiting my entire life for a chance to try out for the Chaser position. I'm a pretty talented flyer, so I've been playing Quidditch for years. I learned from Kent, who is the Keeper for the Gryffindor team, and he tells me all about their practices whenever he comes home for break."

ARE YOU BRINGING A PET? "Yup! I have a barn owl named Lilith! I got her three years ago when Kent got his own owl, since my parents didn't want me to be lonely while they were at work and Kent was at school."

ANY THOUGHTS ON HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED OR HIS FOLLOWERS? "He's horrible. I've heard about some of the terrible things he and the Death Eaters did from my father, who fought against him during the First Wizarding War. Everything he stood for was just awful and I'm really glad he's gone."

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? "Nope! I just can't wait for school to start!"
Any last words:
 
COMMENTS: I absolutely love this Harry Potter story idea and I'm excited to see what you have in store for us! Even if I'm not chosen, I'll still be supporting this story! I added the house that Evera's family and friends were/are sorted into, but feel free to change them if you think they better fit other houses! You're the Sorting Hat of the story, so I'm completely fine with any changes you may make if she's chosen. ^^ I also hope you don't mind that I added Charlie Weasley to my app as one of Evera's friends. He's my favorite Weasley and I couldn't resist, haha. If you need to tweak him to fit your headcanon, then go for it! :) Please let me know if anything needs to be fixed and/or changed!
SUGGESTIONS: None at the moment
PASSWORD: Gryffindor
