Pets: The Kelly family has an Irish Setter/golden retriever puppy named Ruby, and Grayson owns a white ferret named Draco.
Personality: While her favorite color is technically a shade of pink, Grayson is far from girly. On the contrary, she is more likely to be seen climbing trees, or finding other ways to get into mischief than doing anything that could be considered girly. Not to mention she would much rather wear jeans than a skirt. Not to mention her ever-present raspberry-colored Converse. Mischievous, feisty, energetic and friendly, she tends to try and have fun whenever it is possible, although she tries to take classes seriously. That can be difficult, however, since she has a tendency of getting either distracted or bored easily, although that doesn't detract from her intelligence. Unless she is involved in some sort of little plot or something, she tends to wonder what else she could be doing. Grayson adores people, especially those who show any tendency to travel in the same direction she wants to go regarding pranks or trouble, and she is highly protective of her friends, even though she may personally enjoy teasing them on occasion.
Background: Grayson was born the oldest daughter of Bradford Kelly, a Muggle businessman originally from Ireland, and Jacinda Bell Kelly, a distant relative of Katie Bell and sadly the Squib daughter of two magical parents. That fact had always made Jacinda disappointed in herself, even though some people thought the fact she'd married a Muggle meant she was turning her back on the Wizarding world. She hadn't, and as such was highly excited when her daughter showed signs of being magical. Grayson did so at around the age of three, and her precocious nature made things highly charged in the Kelly household. Not being able to really teach the girl how to control her magic herself, Jacinda tried to find someone who could. Leaving little Grayson to her own devices for a while, which developed her aptitude for getting into trouble.
Eventually, Grayson's uncle came forward to help her learn about her magical aptitudes, and she found she excelled in certain aspects of the subject as well as developed a fondness for stories from the time of Harry Potter, especially finding herself a fan of Mad-Eye Moody. But having gotten so used to the way things had been, she still got into trouble quite often, making her parents wonder if they should have controlled her more. The damage was done, though, and since Grayson rarely got into dangerous situations they let her go. And after her brother was born, their worrying about her faded even more, as the new baby distracted them. Grayson loves her brother, although he seems to be the one person who can actually irritate her beyond belief, and she had been excited when she got her letter to Hogwarts at eleven. If only her parents had seen it the same way, since shortly after she'd gotten sorted into Ravenclaw and had started settling into Hogwarts life, they pulled her out again and asked her uncle to keep teaching her. Ostensibly it was because of rumors about things that had happened at the school, but Grayson doesn't believe that. And, two years later, she managed to coerce her uncle into convincing her parents to let her go back to Hogwarts. Where she promptly started setting up a reputation for herself as a bit of a prankster/troublemaker, and also made friends. And semi-enemies. And who knows what else drama she might end up involved with.
