Her older brother was the first to hold her after her mother (Her father was rushing back from his job at the Ministry of Magic in New Zealand) her brother was only five years old.
She was born into a family where her mother (A Muggle) maintained the belief that magic should be only used when it's necessary. Her father always tip-toed around her mother: letting his son and daughter play with the numerous magical nick-knacks hidden inside his office. Her father would often sneak back butterbeers and chocolate frogs from work and give them to his children.
Glenn treasured these visits with her father as he worked overseas in New Zealand for the majority of the year. During the summer she lives in an almost Muggle setting except for the regular escapes to Diagon Alley with her brother.
Glenn grew up exploring the forest with her older brother and role model, Thomas. There are magical creatures in Sherwood Forest, but never has Glenn come into contact with any of the more ferocious, they live deeper in. Glenn and Thomas would play in the outskirts of the forest near their house.
She received her Hogwarts Acceptance Letter in early July of 2075, the little blonde was so excited that she nearly dragged her father to Diagon Alley to get her stuff.
Text Cut: Second Year Glenn was farewelled by her parents at Kings Cross and boarded the Hogwarts Express. She sat alone on the train until near the end of the ride; she didn't really continue a friendship with this girl afterwards though.
Once they got up to the Castle and sat down for the entry feast, Glenn watched the first years being sorted and made some brand new friends at the Hufflepuff house table. One, being the Head Boy himself. Glenn and her new first-year friend Sophie Campbell gave him a nickname: Treyen-Mr-Head-Boy. Although at first annoyed, Treyen seemed to get used to their nickname later into the year.
The badger later made some great friends through later events throughout the year: The Four Amigos, Angelina Andrews, Ella Bishop, Cardigan Johnston, Laura Hyde and to some extent, Glenn was friendly with Kurumi Hollingberry too.
Earlier in the year, Glenn had gone up to Treyen and (Unknowingly) his girlfriend. Ellie was a little mean to Glenn, giving her a death glare that made the badger frightened of this Ravenclaw.
During one of the seminars, Entrancing Enchantments, Glenn accidently got charmed into liking Daichi. This lesson of stupidly gazing at him is probably her most embarrassing moment that she will ever have.
The Hogsmeade trip in November brought her the news that her mother was pregnant. Her brother was born on the 4th of March the following year. Eroy was in St Mungos for some time, having arrived early.
The end of the year brung a tearfull farewell to Treyen at the feast where she celebrated Hufflepuff's victory and a somewhat uneventful trip back to Kings Cross where she was welcomed by her father and brother. Text Cut: Third Year Boarding the train, Glenn said goodbye to her brother and took a seat with Sophie and her other ickle friends. Her mother had made her wear a bow in her hair and wear a skirt as well. Her mother insisted that once you became a teenager it was your duty to look pretty, get a boyfriend. Rubbish, Glenn thought. Relationships were stupid as were make-up and anything girly, too. This began her year of non-girlishness. No wearing dresses or make-up for her...
She wrote to Treyen once or twice, mainly becoming a loner throughout the year. She spent a lot of time on her own, reading her muggle books, disliking potions.
When people started dropping to and fro across the school, Glenn thought at first that it was a prank, a trick, that someone was just winding up the ickles. But after it kept happening, and happened again in HoM, Glenn spoke out to Scabior, telling her mind that they shoudl shut down the lesson while people were freezing. She got ten points taken away from her for her trouble. Before, Scabior had been just another teacher, now, Glenn very much dislikes him. Poking her tongue out at the back of his head in the library (Thank Merlin he didn't see).
She performed her DADA final with Sophie dressed as Cassandra, a witch who encounters a boggart when she fell from her broom and left Hogwarts on the train, dressed once again in a skirt. Her mother had taken away the many pairs of shorts that Glenn had orginally packed, leaving her with only the more girlish summer pieces. Including skirts and stuff with frills.
Once off the train, she met her brother, her aunt and her baby brother, Eroy. She would be staying with Thomas that Summer while her parents were on holiday. Eroy stayed with her aunt a couple of houses down from her brother's apartment in London. Needless to say Glenn didn't welcome te responsibility of semi-babysittting her baby brother throughout the Summer. Personality Glenn is a mischievous teenager, who often it seems looks for trouble. Glenn loves her house but often feels like she'd like to be a Gryffindor; being very brave unless faced with magical creatures that can talk. Her strongest Hufflepuff trait is loyalty, back stabbing and cheating is something she cannot do. Everything she says and does is in full integrity, for better or worse.
She loves reading muggle books my the fireplace in the Common Room until the early hours of morning, she knows a lot about muggle history an skills, her mother insisting she knew just as much about muggles as she did witches and wizards. However, her love of books is not the same with homework, she leaves it until last minute if she does it at all.
Manners are something of the unknown to this teenager, she's polite enough, though things like dinner etiquitte, sitting up straight and pleases and thank-yous aren't really happening... ever.
The badger claims to despise high heels and piles of make-up. She says that she finds them pointless and stupid and that you shouldn't dare to go and call her a princess or cute. Although, through to her fourth year, the bloncde gets slightly fonder of dresses and boys, though still hides behind her previous opinion. Pretending to not crae about those trivial things is easier than owning up to them and being teased, she says. Likes - ~Plain colours (Black, white)
