Hanna was the first child of Adrian and Elyde Newton, born in Oxford England on February 20th, 2083. As part of the Newton family she was often surrounded by family - her 13 aunts and uncles, 7 great aunts and uncles, and 9 cousins (and counting). She was joined three years later with a sister Lena, four years later with Mikayla, four more years with Elsie, and three years after with a baby brother, Oliver. Growing up she happily took on the role of Older Sister. She took care of her younger siblings. She listened to Lena’s problems and worries, often covered for Mikayla’s naughtiness, and even though Elsie and Oliver were born whilst she was away at Hogwarts, thus missing much of their development, she made sure they were both cuddled, happy, clothed, and fed to help her parents out.
She was first enrolled into ballet at age four where she flourished. Having been getting under the adults feet with twirling, leaping, and kicking, her parents figured it would be a good outlet for her artistic energy. For the seven pre-Hogwarts years, she attended four weekly lessons, performed in as many shows as she could, basically living and breathing dance. Struggling very much after first starting at Hogwarts, and no longer having the strict dance routine and classes to attend, she felt rather lost and out of sorts. Practicing by herself was what she did at home, and was able to do at Hogwarts, but she lacked a teacher. After returning home following the first year, she didn’t want to go back. She missed dance. It was only after meeting with her teacher and being told she could participate in all of the summer and Christmas holiday classes, and even perform, that she decided she did like Hogwarts and wouldn’t want to miss out. Now, Hanna practices her dancing through the castle - often in unused classrooms, or the music room, polishing all of the moves she learnt in the holidays, at least four nights a week.
Academically, and living up to the intelligent and creativity of Ravenclaw, Hanna loves learning. Even if it’s Divination, which she doesn’t believe in. Her favourite subjects, right from first lesson, are Potions, Herbology, and Transfiguration. Speaking of Potions, Hanna spent time pre-Hogwarts under the home-teaching of her family, particularly former Potioneer at Hogwarts - her Great Uncle Art. Having retired from working, and spending the majority of his time caring for his grandchildren (Liesel and Orville) Art offered his teachings to his family. Hanna, the oldest of all her cousins, embraced the learning of magic. She attended a local muggle school during the day, and after school whilst her parents were at work, she would go back to Gruncle Art’s house and learn the ways of Magic.
Not only loving Dance of all kinds, Hanna enjoys playing Quidditch. Letting out her energy playing Beater was always fun, but she was offered the position of Chaser on the Ravenclaw team. She played during her third and fourth year.
During the summer following her fourth year, Hanna was delighted in opening a letter by her Head of House, presenting an offer of Prefectship with a lovely blue and bronze badge.

Uncle Sam. Hanna longed to be outside, longed for summer, the feel of the warm sun against her skin. But being trapped indoors, with the threat of a deadly mist hanging over them had dampened any enthusiasm she had for being at Hogwarts. She was tired, stressed, and hyped up with adrenaline. She felt fatigued, yet her body was tense with expectation that at any moment she would need to be on high alert.
Once she caught wind of the fourth years turning the room of requirement into an outdoorsy paradise, that was where she needed to be. In case it was the perfect situation, she brought her pillow and study books in her large, charmed bag, and headed there.
Upon entering, she saw the familiar faces of people that were either in Ravenclaw, or she'd had classes with. Mostly she knew Chloe and Xan. "Hi everyone," she said in her now somewhat flat voice. She missed her family terribly. At least Lena was with her in the Ravenclaw tower. Lena who had decided to stay back in the common room to read. She could do anything in chaos, Hanna thought with envy.
At the sight of food, and blankets, Hanna could have cried. She helped herself to a few bites to eat before she settled herself down onto a blanket. Not wanting to do anything right away, she merely took a few moments to observe everyone, enjoy the somewhat quiet, but very peaceful feeling of being outside - even if it wasn't really outside.
