Personality;
Justine is resourceful, ingenious, naturally clever and proud. Lately she has a tendency for moodiness brought on by her parents divorce and having moved from the only home she’d ever had. Because of this her usual outgoing and vivacious personality has been tampered.
When in class she is studious and listens with interest as she loves learning, but outside of class she tends not to think of things like homework or her studies until the last minute, however her essays and coursework are nearly always perfect.
The French girl is very emphatic to others and if she sees someone who is having a hard time, (academically, with their personal life or what have you) she’ll do her best to cheer them up, and help them out.
Justine can be a little prideful sometimes, which is why she needs her friends to bring her back to reality and remind her of who she is.
A tomboy, Justine struggles with her femininity, she wants very much to be like her mother who is graceful, beautiful and elegant, but can’t help being the clumsy, overly enthusiastic girl she sometimes is. Justine really does wish she could be one of those girls who, for being feminine just comes easily.
Stubborn and willful, when Justine decides something is happening, it’s happening and there is nothing that can deter her from her goals.
History:
Born in Giverny to an (then unwed) English father and Parisian mother, Justine was raised in her beloved Paris all her life, with occasionally trips to England to visit her father’s family and friends.
Her love of reading and books came about when she was six, her father Chester, brought her home a copy of Treasure Island and she immediately fell in love, the rest of her childhood was spent in equal parts reading and playing pretend that she was a pirate.
Justine’s mother, though a good mother was very flighty and would often take off for weeks at a time, leaving Chester to tend to Justine on his own, something the man never resented as he knew that Margaux was a free spirit and needed time away to settle herself.
She was admitted to Beauxbatons Academy of Magic at the age of eleven and immediately excelled at her studies earning herself great praise from her teachers.
Justine was not very popular at her school, but she had plenty of friends due to her outgoing, generous and fun-loving attitude.
The next few years passed by happily for Justine, but not for her parents, who’s relationship had grown strained due to Margaux’s work taking her to all sorts of places for longer and longer periods of time, leading to Chester feeling alienated.
When Margaux finally come home in the winter of Justine’s fourth year, she admitted to having fallen in love with someone else and though she was very sorry, she asked Chester for a divorce, something he readily agreed to after his shock and fury dissipated.
What ensued after was a long and drawn out custody battle over Justine which tore the girl apart emotionally. After months of deliberation, custody was given to Chester with Justine being able to spend some of the summer with her mother, if she choose to do so.
With that dreadfulness over, Justine had hoped to get back to some normality with her friends in her oncoming school year, only to receive the saddening news that she would not only be moving to England, but that she would now be attending Hogwarts instead.
The young girl begged her father to allow her to stay enrolled at Beauxbatons, but her father declared it too far from home, and though he did so in a kindly way, Justine couldn’t help resenting him.
