Text Cut: How Zara looks

Zara has been a little tall for her age, standing 5'2.5" compared to the other regular first years who stand 5” in height. Her skin colour is fair and full of life; not a pale white and not a tan either. She might appear slim in appearance, but is really somewhere in the middle of normal and thin. You would always find her gray eyes filled with emotion as it turns into different shades of gray. When happy and cheerful, her gray eyes brighten and are full of life. When in deep thought you’d always find a never-ending maze when looking at her eyes. And when sad and depressed, you’d see how the blue skies turn into gray. Her puffy cheeks turn into a shade of rosy pink whenever embarrassed due to blushing. Her hair has a dark shade of brown which becomes a lighter shade when in the sun. Her lips are full, and are arched into a perfect curve whenever Zara smiles.

Text Cut: Zara's Personality

Zara is a happy young girl who has a not so bright past. Yet, the sadness of her past caused her to be inspired to become better for the future. Though sometimes flashbacks bring her mood down and make her emotions dim, after a few minutes of reflecting she is back on track. She strives hard to study because it's her first time being in an actual school since before Hogwarts, she was homeschooled and taught by a lady by the name of Miss Jenkins. When around her friends, Zara becomes hyper and a little playful. She enjoys a good laugh, and is fun to be around with. Also, she loves to read and compose which makes her a very intelligent girl. Music fills up her whole life ever since her parents have lost time for her. She devotes most of her time playing the piano and has made her first musical composition while at Hogwarts as a birthday gift for her mother. Also, Zara brings out a cheerful mood whenever speaking and you'd find her all smiles. Though sometimes she has moments where she simply closes her eyes and thinks of her past. There are days when she just hangs out seldom speaking, while there are days when she tells you almost everything. All in all, we can say she's very random and unpredictable. Her mood easily changes from happy to sad, from angry to happy, from sad to confused. Even if she's sometimes confusing, as soon as she regains composure, it will be as if nothing ever happened.

Text Cut: Zara's Long Life Description Before Entering Hogwarts

On the eve of the 18th of December, a bouncing baby girl was born. Danielle Zara Griffiths was the only child of Daniel Zachary Griffiths and Isabelle Francesca Vandeviere. Therefore, she received all the pampering and luxury a princess could ever have. Treated like royalty, since her family was rich, Zara gained all the love from her parents and was happy growing up. Though she was not allowed to go outside for her parents fear she might first discover she was magical in front of Muggles, Zara was contented since her parents devoted all their free time to her and as a family, they bond every weekends together. Her father, who worked as a doctor, built his very own hospital next to their house since they could afford to. Her mother decided to choose the path of being a concert pianist, and regularly comes home early and plays a song for Zara. Also, Isabelle taught Zara a few lessons on how to play piano. But their lessons were soon cut short...

But this kind of happiness was too good to be true. Soon, on one winter morning, Zara came out of the house like always to get their mail and newspaper from the mailbox. As usual, she peeped outside their gate and saw the children playing. Humming a tune as she went back inside, she gave the letters to her parents. Her mother was playing a hearty lullaby on the piano while her father was reaching out to get the newspaper when a letter moved on its own. Zara's eyes were wide open in shock and amusement as she stared at the letter who had floated on air and ripped itself open. Her parents eyes were alert and when they saw this, their hands were instantly covering Zara's eyes and ears. When they let her free, Zara saw that the whole letter was torn into shreds. The next few weeks, her father never worked at the hospital anymore and a month later it was abandoned and closed. Meanwhile, her mother never touched the piano too. They both went home late, having no more time for Zara and her piano lessons ended. She was not allowed to ask questions about these matters, and she accepted it all in silence without a word, without a question.

This was the time when she began to search for friends to talk to and do things together with. But since she was all locked up and not allowed to go outside the gate of their mansion, Zara felt sad and all alone. Her parents hired a teacher to home school Zara, her name was Miss Jenkins. What she taught Zara wasn't the usual, it was everything she needed to know to prepare her for the wizarding world without her noticing it. First, of course, she was taught the basics. Reading and writing, adding and subtracting. But soon, as they advanced into higher levels, Zara was taught words such as reducto, lumos, maxima, silencio, and all those other words which were actually spells. Poor Zara didn't know back then and felt she was being taught useless things. Once, Zara managed to escape from their house while their servants ran after her. She hid behind a bush, and soon was able to find her way to the Muggle children's playground. Zara had her own playground back at the mansion, but the Muggle playground had something that the Griffiths' didn't have--lots and lots of children. Everywhere Zara looked, there were lots of children her age and younger and older. She approached a group of kids playing Ring Around A Rosie, and asked if she could join. When Zara said her name, the kids began to run away, screaming. Eyes streaming in tears, Zara went home, thinking that she was some monster no one wanted. Her parents never had time for her, she didn't have friends, her teacher was teaching her stuff she wasn't interested in. It seemed hopeless.

Zara decided that she would learn piano. She would be as great as her mom was so that they could play the piano together. She made a letter one day asking her parents to teach her piano and left in on their bed. The next day, Zara found that her parents hired a piano teacher to teach her how to play the piano. Disappointed as she was that it wasn't her mother that was going to teach her, Zara knew she had a goal to accomplish. At the age of 6, Zara was able to play classical music perfectly. And one Saturday, Isabelle realized that she needed to spend time with her only child. They played the piano together and for a whole hour, the connection between mother and daughter was revived. But after that one hour, Isabelle had to go to work again. It was a moment Zara treasured forever.

As Zara turned eleven, she celebrated it with her parents. Luckily, they had time whenever it was her birthday so Zara never complained. And whenever there was an occasion, they also celebrated it though sometimes her father has to go at unexpected times in the middle of a celebration. The morning of her birthday was like the usual except that her parents didn't go to work and were waiting for her at the breakfast table. As they ate through breakfast, Zara noticed that something was strange with them, like they expected her to do something. After eating, Zara took the mail and newspaper out of the mailbox again and brought it back inside. Fortunately, after that ripping letter incident, there wasn't any other unusual mail for the next few years. Not until now, that is. Because for the first time ever, Zara had a letter for her. Her parents looked at her with expectant faces, looking at the letters she had brought in with her. There, the secret was revealed to her.

Her parents had willingly told her all about the magic world and what their new jobs were. Zara finally understood why they have to leave and spend so much time away. Her mother became part of the Wizengamot council while her father was an auror. After explaining what they can for the day, Zara was finally contented and knew just about all the things she wanted to know. It was the best birthday ever, for she finally understood everything.

Months later, both parents accompanied Zara at Diagon Alley to buy her supplies. They have been very supportive ever since. Finally, when the day came that Zara was leaving, Isabelle and Dan Griffiths bid their goodbye to her at the station, waving as Zara left.
