History: Presley was born nine years after her older brother, and was an unexpected surprise for her parents. She grew up all over the world and is rich and spoiled. She loves to dance, and ever since she was three years old she's been taking lessons. When she was six years old, her mother died of cancer, and that has made a huge impact on Presley's life. She even considered siding with the Cult of Walpurgis while it was still in power because she knew magic could have saved her mum's life.

Other than that, she had a relatively happy childhood with good memories. It was from her mother that she discovered her love of photography, and she now takes pictures at practically every occasion. Presley's brother is the closest person to her in the world, and it has always been that way. He used to take her to quidditch games when she was a child, and she loves the sport, she's just not very good at it.

Her father is a pureblood, so Presley was raised in the elite society of wizards with "untainted blood." But her mother was a muggle. Neither of her parents ever bought into the pureblood supremacy idea (her mother didn't have any wizard blood, let alone pure blood), but her father still adamantly believes that having money makes you better than those who don't have so much. Presley was somewhat sheltered from the fact that there are people without much money, and it still amazes her how people can get by with next to nothing.

After her mother passed away, her father withdrew from his children, and Leo practically raised his little sister. Lately, Zebhidiyah has been trying to take further interest in his children, and he doesn't realize that what he's doing is hurting Presley more than ignoring her was. He thinks that to be a good father, you have to be strict. He pushes Presley to do more than she is capable of, and with her deep desire to impress her father and gain his approval, Presley will kill herself trying. She overworks herself and expects more of herself than she rightfully should.

Because of this, she is often over-stressed, and that is when she is sharp with people most of the time. (Sometimes it's because she just can't stand them.) When she came to Hogwarts she took a long time to break out of her carefully structured shell. Luna Kieren became her best friend, and Presley began to break down the walls she had constructed. She now is completely okay with walking around the common room in sweats or pyjamas, putting her sock feet up on the chair, slouching, shrugging her shoulders, and talking back. She loves shoes and has the largest shoe collection ever to be owned by a thirteen year old (or so her brother claims).
