Personality: A bit of a perfectionist, Vita will redo something twenty times to make sure the finished product is done correctly, though she doesn't always know how to accept the praise she receives for her efforts and may not give herself enough credit for her accomplishments.

Strong, true relationships with the people in Vita's life are important to her. She makes an effort to remember details about those she cares about, be there for them, and to always remind them how important they are, since she knows not every day with a friend or family member is guaranteed. It's the forming of these relationships that can be difficult for her, as it takes a good deal of time for her to open up completely to people. She's a bit shy and not always sure how to share her past without making others uncomfortable or having them pity her.

Vita is a planner by nature. She doesn't normally go into a situation unprepared, so entering a new environment will be interesting for her, since she'll be surrounded by the unfamiliar in a magical world that is more often than not unpredictable.

Vita is very private about her emotions. She's not always sure how to express herself, as she never wants to allow those emotions to get the best of her. After dealing with her mother's illness, she's learned to conceal her feelings so they are not a burden on anyone else around her. She'd rather be strong for others, than for them to have to be strong for her. Unfortunately, all those built up emotions can lead to episodes of extreme stress and annoyance with herself for feeling so much about so much.

Type: ISFJ-A

History: Vita's mother Jasmine left home at an early age, tired of living her life for her parents, who put all their lost hopes and dreams on their daughter. Cutting ties meant going out on her own and finding her way at the age of seventeen, but the young witch was willing and eager to try. With no money to her name, Jasmine found a job as a baker's assistant on the outskirts of London, a hole in the wall flat above the small bakery that was too hot in the summers and always smelled of fresh bread, and fell in love with a boy who would stick around only until his own dreams of stardom came true. This left Jasmine alone and though she was young and scared, she brought Vita into the world at the age of nineteen, giving her everything she could and raising her to dream big.

Vita never knew that she was missing out on anything growing up. The absence of a father figure never bothering her because she had her mum, the center of her world, the most intelligent and beautiful creature she'd ever seen up close. Though they didn't have much money, her childhood was a happy one, her mother taking her on adventures the best way she knew how, through tales she'd make up while baking. Vita was Jasmine's own little shadow, following her around, making herself small so she'd stay out of the way of the restaurant's owners and patrons, and helping to clean up, which earned her a sickle here and there. Helping out made her proud and the time spent with her mother made her happiest.

When she was old enough, Vita would be home-schooled by a neighbor who also had kids around her age. An incredibly focused student from the start, she excelled in her lessons, presenting her mother with tests she'd aced as gifts that she could be proud of. Jasmine would always hang them on their old fashioned fridge that was always losing power and they'd celebrate over tea and toast made from the leftover bread that didn't get sold at the end of the day. It was something Vita looked forward to and the scent of peppermint tea would be something that would remind her of her mother for years to come.

Jasmine became ill around the time Vita entered teenager-hood and at first, she was able to keep it from her daughter. As her condition worsened though, Vita caught on and became her mother's constant source of quiet strength through healer visits and long sleepless nights. She said no to things that she loved, pushed friends away, growing up too fast before Jasmine's eyes. Vita decided to tiptoe around life because the world was a fragile place and maybe if she stepped lightly and stopped wanting too much, it wouldn't fall apart. That maybe if all she wanted for herself was for her mom to be well again, it wouldn't be asking for too much.

The spring of 2096, Jasmine's condition worsened and she contacted the Stemps, knowing her daughter would need a place to call home when she was gone. After hearing the Mallari's story, the Stemps were willing to open the doors of Stemp House to Vita and after her mother lost her battle with her illness at the start of the summer, that's where the fifteen year old went. A new place for a lost girl. A new year approaching where she'd be attending a new school, a real school for the first time.

Vita entered Hogwarts during her fifth year and found it to be much more structured and strict than she'd imagined. She didn't mind the rules so much, but the lack of freedom to explore and be a teenager made it hard for her to come out of her shell and find herself in the new school setting. Meeting Indigo Rousseau, a Ravenclaw with shared interests and a quiet soul, proved to be a blessing for the brunette. The two became fast friends and Vita was able to open up with him in the way she hadn't with others in quite some time. Levi Wesley, a Gryffindor who'd also just started at Hogwarts, captured Vita's attention from the start. She developed a crush and when she finally worked up to asking him out, she discovered that Levi was dating someone else. It created an awkward situation, as Levi considered Vita to be a close friend, and she decided to mask her feelings so that their friendship could continue. An unfortunate potions incident caused James Summers to be Vita's first kiss, as the two accidentally brewed themselves a love potion. Though definitely not the way she'd wanted to have her first snog, Vita ended up getting to know James and decided that there was more to him than the act he seems to put on for others around him. Towards the end of term, she got to know the McKinley siblings, whose kindness and willingness to spend time with her was both surprising and appreciated. Then there was Maverick Stemp. Of all the Stemp children, Maverick seemed to take a particular interest in making sure Vita was living her best life. He encouraged her to try new things, be more confident, and vowed to be her guide in all things fun over the summer. Each of these friendships meant a great deal to her, as she had no family to speak of. She planned on doing everything she could to build these bonds and make sure they lasted.

Vita's sixth year started unexpectedly. Her relationship with Maverick changed, the two admitting their feelings for each other. As nice as that was, it did make her wonder if this would pose problems with the Stemps, who had taken her in and been watching over her. Her suspicions were correct and Mr. and Mrs. Stemp were less than pleased with the two, particularly because they took so long to reveal they were dating. It took until the summer to reconcile her relationship with them, particularly Mrs. Stemp, who she craved approval from.

The summer before her seventh year was spent with friends. Vita also made several university visits with Maverick while the two tried to face the reality that they might not be going to the same uni after Hogwarts. She found that she was feeling the weight of the future quite heavily as the summer went on, particularly when she got a letter from Hogwarts announcing she'd be prefect for Slytherin House. It was a bit of a shock, but the snakette vowed to do her best in the position.
