HISTORY AND PERSONALITY
Scarlett Pamela Reynolds, named after her mother's favorite literary character and her father's mother, is the first born child of Nolan and Ginger Reynolds. Nolan Reynolds was formerly the Divination Professor at Hogwarts who left his post to marry his Hogwarts sweetheart. A few years later, Scarlett was born.

From the start, Scarlett has been a firecracker who delights in driving her parents crazy. She always marches to the beat of her own drum and is extremely outgoing and energetic. Many times the new parents would lose her in the streets of Diagon Alley, where she loved to explore and play pretend in all the nooks and crannies of the wizarding marketplace. She loves talking to people, whether it's old friends or complete strangers, and has a very optimistic outlook on life. Her father instilled a very deep love of books in her from an early age and she loves to learn. She is constantly looking to try new things, but can be very impatient at times and often doesn't wait to get things done even when it may be in her best interest to do so.

Like her parents, she is a very loyal person and values her friendships - her relationships with other people are the most important things in her life. She can overlook people's faults, even if they don't deserve it, and it takes a lot to break that trust. She is very honest and values being a very hard worker, even if she does sometimes jump into things too quickly without thinking them through.

Since she was about 8 years old, Scarlett helped run her father's second hand bookstore. Often times she just ran the register or sat around reading the many books in the shop until her father sold it after her first year of Hogwarts. Out of all her siblings, Scarlett feels she is the closest to her father. Part of her outgoing personality comes from the need to stand out amongst her brothers and sisters, and remind everyone who the REAL queen bee of the family is. She will never admit it, but she definitely does things to antagonize her siblings sometimes, including locking Clay in a hamper one time to stop him from eating the last cookie, purposely teaching Zoey how to use her mum's makeup at the age of 2, and stealing Evie's glasses multiple times.

Nolan is a Seer, although as of right now, none of his children seem to have inherited the "Inner Eye". However, the Reynolds children have all inherited a strong liking for the subject and real talent for Divination - but none of them have shown any signs of being a real Seer at this point. Scarlett personally thinks some branches of Divination are bologna, but loves to read tarot cards and tea leaves.

THE HOGWARTS YEARS
FIRST YEAR
Scarlett entered her first year with lots of excitement and positivity - until she got to school and realized that a HAG was teaching her favorite subject, Divination! Scarlett was distraught, as it had been the one subject she had been looking forward to the most, being a daughter of an ex-professor and Seer. Things only got worse when the hag actually tried to EAT a student during the lesson, and escaped into the woods. She had all these grand visions of how Divination, her father's subject, would be at school, and all of it came crashing down around her.

Despite having an awful start to her Divination career, she tried to look on the bright side and make friends during her first year and start out her Hogwarts year on a good foot. She was sorted into Hufflepuff, which was no surprise to her since both of her parents had been in that house. She instantly clicked with her outgoing dormmates. She also had a few interesting encounters with a china doll, but nothing ever seemed to come of that (or at least if it did, she didn't notice as she was too wrapped up in her studies) She finished on the top points earner, which was one of her goals for her first year. All in all, it had been a successful year, and she left feeling like she had done her best and was ready for the next year to be just as good.

SECOND YEAR
Scarlett's second year started off better than her first, now that she was better acquainted with her roommates and her cousin Juliette was now attending school with her as well. Once again she finished on the top of the points board, but the final half of her year was spent focusing on more outside issues. Her father announced that he was running for Minister for Magic, and she and her cousin Juliette spent their free time making pins and fliers to help him in his campaign.

Scarlett was also distracted a bit this year by the fact that her father announced he was selling his business so they could move to a suburb and buy a large house with a white picket fence - something Scarlett was super excited about because it meant she got her own room for the first time in her life, which she promptly painted a bright shade of pink.

THIRD YEAR
Over the summer, Scarlett's father lost the race for Minister, which was upsetting, and it seemed as though Scarlett inherited her father's anxiety. She started to worry more and more about her public image and popularity, not focusing on her studies and instead falling into a slump. She also started to worry about her brother attending Hogwarts the following year, worrying how that would affect her popularity. She ended up doing less than stellar in her classes, and promptly decided she needed to start seeing a counselor over the summer to work out her anxiety issues.

It worked, and she was very excited and eager to return to school - until she got hit with a nasty bout of bronchitis that turned in to pneumonia. Scarlett missed over half of her fourth year.

FOURTH YEAR
The one good thing about getting sick with pneumonia was meeting Maurice Gladin - better known as Jimmy. Scarlett met the Beauxbaton's boy while he was interning at St. Mungos during her stay, and they two stayed in touch throughout the year. They began officially seeing each other over the Christmas holiday, although Scarlett assumed this meant they were exclusive and told all her friends about her new "boyfriend".

When she finally returned to school in March, she buried her head in her books and was able to make up her work before school let out for the summer. She made sure to stay FAR away from the portal and the monster, thank you very much, and made sure her younger brother Clay, who was now attending Hogwarts, did the same. While she was originally upset about Clay starting school with her, she ended up loving having him in her house. She could see him as much as she wanted but still escape to her dorm if he was being annoying, and he ended up being a great study partner!

Things turned sour almost immediately after returning home for the summer, though, when Jimmy came to visit the Reynolds family. Initially excited for a summer with her beau, he made it quite clear that he was not interested in dating JUST Scarlett, and she promptly broke things off, heartbroken.

FIFTH YEAR
