{ PERSONALITY }
Malina is a series of complex emotions. She finds spending time alone the most comforting thing; she loves to journal and read books, hang in the library and work on her studies. Living with her mother, Malina gained a cold eye for the world. She sees most things as a prize to achieve. She is the kind of person to set goals every week and follow them through, whether it be with a hobby or a class. Malina tends to spend most of her time wandering Hogwarts with her nose stuck in a book, or just simply sitting outside and being alone.
During the first encounter of meeting someone new, Malina can be quite timid, so she tends to put on a fake personality, trying to be more outgoing than she actually is. It's not that she is trying to be fake, she just does it out of pure fear that people will not like her for who she actually is. She tends to think very low of herself and it often shows in her posture, attitude, and constant swing in moods. She tends to avoid big groups, and rarely is found talking to people. Malina is a very fear-based person. She will base her decisions on other's opinions and will often forget about her own. She is very uncomfortable with being her true self. She does not avoid everyone however, sometimes someone comes along that she actually really enjoys.
Malina, underneath the fear and anxiety, is actually a very loving, and caring person. She is known, however, to care too much for a person, which can seem clingy. She tends to stick to one or two people at a time. She is very loyal, intelligent, and thoughtful, she just is overrun by her angst most of the time. Malina is very connected to her inner child, and loves being silly and making people laugh, and she is often daydreaming.
{ MOTHER }
Her mother's name is Adrianna Anderson, her maiden name was Kou, she prefers to use her maiden name in the business world... She is one of those women who seems just.... Unstoppable. She is a micromanager, she knows what goes on every day of every hour. She raised Malina after her dad left. She's the type of woman who can walk backwards, in heals, balancing coffee in one hand, and checking out homework with another, while making doctor appointments. She is independent, and sometimes cold, although she had a "hand's off" approach during Malina's childhood, she still kept her firm grip on her daughter as well.
{ FATHER }
Malina has very little recollection of her father. She does not find this insulting that he wasn't there to watch her grow into a person, she believes he had his reasons. Although she tries to reason with the situation, she still wishes she had a father figure.
{ FRIENDS }
Annalisse Maeven
Malina and Anna have been friends since birth. It's probably one of the reasons Malina has a hard time finding new friends, she is so stuck on her best friend back home.
Minah Chase
Minah and Malina. The dynamic M's. Malina and Minah have been friends since their second year at Hogwarts. Sharing a love for nerdom, potions and sweets. Although.. .She tends to eat all Malina's home baked sweets and Malina's candy stash in the trunk near her bed.

{ HISTORY }
Malina was born in the muggle world, in the heart of London with her mother, who after going to Hogwarts decided she wanted to get in the real world and settle down with a husband and put the magic behind her. Malina was born on a dark December afternoon, and when Malina turned one her parents divorced. She never saw her dad after that, and she wasn't sure why. While Malina was growing up, she went to a regular school and excelled in all her classes. Malina was extremely book smart, but not extremely people smart. She was, most of the time, drifting off into her own world, writing fantasy stories, drawing magical creatures and she always had a feeling there was something bigger than her just waiting to come into her life.
Malina was a young soul, a daydreamer. She was very imaginative, intelligent and loved to create things. Her head was always in the clouds, Malina was very quiet, and loved just spending her time outside.
Malina's mother was a big influence through her life, being the only parent figure, Malina was often terrified she didn't make her mother proud. She consistently was concerned with how she was viewed in her mother's eyes, and often worried she wasn't doing enough. This was mostly due to the fact her mother was working full time and often came home late from work meetings, and normally left Malina to raise herself, which resulted in Malina becoming very independent.
Years passed and Malina received her letter from Hogwarts. Her mother sent her there on the conditions she would follow all the rules, and used her time wisely, otherwise Malina would be pulled immediately. Her mother saw Hogwarts as an opportunity, not a right. Malina went to her new school with hopes she could make a name for herself. Her first potions class set her heart on learning all about potions and possibly even teaching it.
{ WAND }
She's named him "Mr. Pointy" due to the undeniable point at the tip that seems to noticeably jut out. It is Acacia wood: A very unusual wand wood, which creates tricky wands that often refuse to produce magic for any but their owner, and also withhold their best effects from all but those most gifted. It's core is a dragon heartstring. The flexibility, and durability, of her wand is decent, she could throw it and it wouldn't snap.
{ FAMILIAR }
A beautiful cat she named Dexter. He is two years old. When she began Hogwarts she had started out with an owl, like most, but her owl and her never really got along, so her mother got her Dexter and she has really connected with Dexter the past two years.
{ COLOR }
Blue
