personality.

First Impression»» [/b]
On first impression; Serenity would seem like your average girl though perhaps a bit on the meek, shy side. She's quite obviously beautiful (though eerie) and her pristine clothing would make her seem reserved. You would also think that the girl definitely does not get enough sleep as her skin is nearly ashen and she possesses dark circles under her eyes. There's something unsettling about her gaze; it's bold, piercing and gives off the vibe that she's fantasizing about your tragic demise...

Self Image»» [/b]
Serenity believes she's never good enough and clearly has some low self-esteem problems. She's severely ashamed of her muggle heritage and thus will never speak about her home life. Serenity is a daddy's girl and is always trying to please Berty Knight - which she does so with flying colors. Unlike most insane people; Serenity knows something isn't right with her and thus has constant inner turmoil. It's not normal to hear voices whisper in your head; telling you what to do. It's not normal to want to have the blood of the boy you fancy all over your skin. In honesty the girl is afraid of her inner monster and what she's capable of; constantly at war with herself. To mask this vulnerability the girl will put up an flawless mask of innocense; a simper here and touch of flush to her face there... She knows she's a brilliant actress.

Positive Traits»» [/b]

• Intellectual
  Definition; guided or developed by or relying on the intellect rather than upon emotions or feelings; rational. Serenity above anything else is very intelligent and is very rational; tending to think things through thoroughly before she acts. She's one to scheme up extravagant plots and is definitely not hesitant about researching the things that one is better left off ignorant to. She doesn't necessarily always have her nose in a book or isn't constantly studying; her mind being agile enough to pick things up the first time and remember them rather than having to repeat things over and over again. Serenity is also very selfish when it comes to sharing her knowledge about any subject; her information usually cunningly turned into some sort of bargaining chip. She'll share what she knows, sure, but for a price.
  
• Elegant
  Definition; refined and tasteful in appearance or behavior or style. This girl rarely goes underwhere looking disasterous or even slightly frazzled. When she walks there's poise; when she talks there's superiority and fluidity in her voice; when she schemes you can be sure it will be a graceful and near flawless plan. Those who know Serenity can't deny that the girl lives day-to-day life with an impeccable reserved style.
  
• Eloquent
  Definition; having or exercising the power of fluent, forceful, and appropriate speech. Serenity has the power of persuasion on her side; or rather the sly ability to make things sound better than they seem. She doesn't necessarily stray from the truth but she won't tell the whole of it either; almost like a shrewd business man. This trait makes her a rather wonderful public speaker and if you dare approach her; a stimulating conversationalist.
  
• Respectful
  full of, characterized by, or showing politeness or deference: Unlike her sister the girl will respect the boundaries of one's privacy and is not one to boldly prod at a person. She's very polite; even when she does not receive the same courtesy back and most certainly does have regards for people of authority. That doesn't mean the girl will always behave like a domesticated kitten; she's been known to break the rules on occasion. However, she simply just doesn't allow herself to get caught. Can't have anything tarnishing her innocent appeal now can she?
  
• Perverse
  Definition; willfully determined or disposed to go counter to what is expected or desired; contrary. This definitely may not seem like a positive trait but for Serenity it most certainly is. There is always a murderous voice in the back of her mind and constantly the girl is contradicting it and warring with herself; trying to do the exact opposite of what it wants to prove to herself that she is by no means crazy. If she were to listen to it it's likely Serenity Knight would be in Azkaban for the rest of her life. She's not completely evil and it's a fact she wants to be good and normal but it would seem fate has cruel different plans for her.
  

Negative Traits»» [/b]

• Self Critical
  Definition; tending to find fault with one's own actions, motives, etc. Serenity is the type of girl who strives for perfection but believes that it's out of her reach and thus is constantly putting herself down. She believes she's dreadfully plain and is a complete and total monster who is unworthy of anything and anyone. Though her grades are impeccable and home work assignments are near flawless she constantly feels like they are poorly done and are complete rubbish. Serenity's horrible outlook on herself borderlines self loathing. However; you'd never be able to tell that she feels this way because everyone can fake a smile and Serenity's masquerade is near impenetrable.
  
• Guilty
  Definition; having committed an offense, crime, violation, or wrong, esp. against moral or penal law. For impure thoughts, for sinful schemes that may or may not be played out, for being imperfect, for murdering Irene Colynuck, for simply exsisting. Serenity Knight will always remain haunted by these things and forever guilty; she certainly does have a conscious - one that keeps her up at night due to horrible nightmares.
  
• Paranoid
  Definition; Exhibiting or characterized by extreme and irrational fear or distrust of others. Serenity Knight is internally a nervous wreck; though it's not known if this is the real cause for her Insomnia or side effect of it. She generally doesn't trust anyone and as a result is limited when it comes to having friends or confidants. She generally doesn't confide in anyone because she's fearful such private information would be used against her. She's also partial to travelling in small packs rather than being in a large crowd; staring at her makes her feel uncomfortable and bumping and jostling her would make her angry and a potential threat to your safety.
  
• Envious
  Definition; showing extreme cupidity; painfully desirous of another's advantages. Because the girl has a low self-esteem it's obvious that she'd have a green eyed monster for anyone that is charismatic and popular (not being those things herself) Generally Serenity is envious of emotional traits that a person has rather than material things. Someone who is everything she's not and therefore admirable would only make her take a loathing glance at herself. Serenity wishes she could be a normal witch, have boyfriends, attend parties etc. but her counterpart clearly has other plans for her.
  
• Macabre
  Definition; of, pertaining to, dealing with, or representing death, esp. its grimmer or uglier aspect. The girl is often subjected to horrible, gore-trodden and ugly thoughts relating to death or serious injury. She has vivid nightmares which aid in her lack of sleep (Insomnia). Her thoughts are always gruesome; or rather her counterpart's thoughts are. This also relates to her being paranoid of having relationships with people; believing she's evil and deranged. Your pain is her pleasure, thus making Serenity Knight one sick puppy.
  

Likes»» [/b]

• Peppermints
  This is really self explanatory; Serenity likes the taste of peppermint candies and usually always has one in her mouth.
  
• Horror Movies
  Blood, gore, screams. It's up her alley - or rather her inner voice's.
  
• Money
  Money means power, power means authority, authority means an easier obtained ambition.
  
• The Dark Arts
  She must know even the murkier aspects of magic. Knowledge is power and this fascinates her.
  
• Books
  She's lonely and the pages of books provide her with some comfort. Fictional characters are much better than real people.
  
• Butterbeer
  The tingle she gets in her stomach is wonderful! -and it quiets that monstrous inner voice...
  
• Duelling
  She likes to win.
  
• Stuffies (stuffed animals)
  Since Serenity can't cuddle another human being without vicious thoughts she's resorted to stuffed animals. She's been collecting them since she was a little girl.
  
• Cigarettes
  It relieves stress; a nasty muggle habit but when she's feeling particularly anxious they have a calming effect on her.
  
• Theatre
  What's not to like about the theatre? The angst, the drama, the story? It's all so vivid and grand!
  
• Stargazing
  This is another thing that calms her.
  
• Hopeless Romantic
  This is strange considering the girl is rather malicious; however; she can't deny that even with being isolated and withdrawn she wishes she could be in a functional relationship. All of her attempts have been failures & Serenity seems to be drawn to people with abusive natures. People who can make her submissive.
  
• Snow
  She was born in December; of course she loves snow! It's beautiful!
  
• When People Hum/Sing to Her
  Self explanatory.
  

Dislikes»» [/b]

• Christmas
  For obvious reasons; returning home to the scene of the crime.
  
• Lovely Knight
  Her sister is everything she isn't, has friends, is relatively normal (or at least without voices in her head) and can touch another human being without wanting to see their insides on their outsides!
  
• Sleeping
  Serenity has terrible nightmares; that and she's a chronic insomniac
  
• Boggarts
  For obvious reasons and because it links to a detail in her past she'd rather forget.
  
• Animals
  She likes the stuffed ones; the ones that won't care if she rips their heads off...
  
• Spoof Films
  They are ridiculously annoying and definitely not funny; too stupid for Serenity to find any enjoyment in them.
  
• Intimacy
  So she secretly craves it but believes it's out of her reach and therefore dislikes it. It taunts her, obtainable and yet not at the same time.
  
• Ignorance
  Serenity likes to know what's going on and believes everyone should keep themselves well informed. Ignorance in people is completely unacceptable.
  
• Curiosity
  Only when it's directed at her. Serenity likes her secrets to remain hers and is not fond of being the topic of gossip. Poking and prodding at her will make her surly.
  
• The Sound Of Nails On A Chalkboard
  Who actually likes this sound? Honestly?
  
• Ice Cream
  Serenity has sensitive teeth and extreme cold make them hurt. It's an annoying pain.
  
• Fried Foods
  They make her stomach a bit queasy and as a result the girl tends to eat all organic things.
  

Amortentia»» [/b]
baking cookies, mint, and rose petals

Boggart»» [/b]
Hmm let's see...worst memory. Well there was that time she killed Irene Colynuck and so her Boggart would definitely have to be a rather fiendish looking version of herself (messy chocolate brown hair, flashing demonic red eyes, a devilish smile of delight, blood all over her hands and clothing etc.) standing over a broken and crumpled elderly nanny in a pool of blood. The counterfeit Serenity would turn to look at her and laugh maniacally; then start verbally harrassing her, critisizing her and ask, "Why do you deny what your born to be? It's terribly graphic and definitely not for the faint of heart; which is why Serenity never hopes to encounter another Boggart for the rest of her days.

Patronus»» [/b]
Fox; the fox is a cunning creature and definitely feminine and graceful. It's rather deceitful while wrapped in such a small package but if you were to reach out to pet it it would certainly gnaw your fingers off and gnaw with conviction.

Dark brunette

Skin Color»» [/b]

Body Build»» [/b]
Tall, slender and graceful.

Nationality»» [/b]
British & French

Distinctive Features»» [/b]
Serenity's distinctive physical features are definitely her ashen skin and blue eyes (though burdened with sickly purple circles under them). She's tall for a girl but extemely petite (slender to the point of almost looking unhealthy) and therefore tends to swim in her clothes unless they are custom made or hemmed.

Dress Style»» [/b]
Serenity is extremely feminine and when not dressed in her school attire you'll often find her in dresses or even a chic business suit-like attire. Everything (from fabrics to style) is usually plain though elegant, neat, and refined looking. Her hair is usually kept down and is naturally pin straight; refusing to curl no matter how much the girl tries to coax some volume into it. Serenity rarely wears make up as her features are sharp enough without it; eye make up being a big no as it only accentuates the deep purple bags under her eyes.

school life.

Social Status»» [/b]
Serenity is not the most popular person to ever have wandered the halls of Hogwarts; actually because she's so reserved it gives off the impression that she's a complete and total snob. She's one of those people you'll see off on their own as opposed to travelling with a large pack of people but it's not because she's antisocial; she actually can be a rather social creature if you take the time to approach her. She's invisible in her classes and she likes it that way; half of her teachers don't even realize she's there until she hands in her home work assignments or suddenly decides to participate in class and answer a question of some sorts. As for her family; they adore and cherish her. To them she can do no wrong!

Alliance»» [/b]
Neutral for now

Career Goal»» [/b]
Serenity would most likely want to take up a job within the Ministry, perhaps the Dept. of Mysteries because the girl is rather capable of keeping secrets (hoarding plenty of her own). She'd be aiming to be the Head of the Dept. but would settle for a simple ranking employee as well if she really had to.

Taken Courses&Grades»» [/b]

• Transfiguration - O
  
• Herbology - O
  
• Potions - E
  
• Divination - E
  
• Arithmancy - E
  
• Charms - O
  
• DADA - E
  

Favorite Classes»» [/b]
Transfiguration; spells that require precision and manipulation are by far what she excels at. Serenity enjoys this class because she flourishes in it and is known to have exceptional transfiguration abilities.
Charms; she finds the theory to be extremely fascinating and Serenity actually is known to willingly participate in this class. She likes the professor who teaches it.

Hated Classes»» [/b]
Divination; she really has no idea why she had elected to take that class in the first place. All of her readings are impossibly grim and she can't help but notice that the professor is terribly sketch about her. However, Serenity refuses to drop out as it would look terrible on her academic records if she did.
DADA; the girl thinks this class is a complete joke. Having studied some of the unforgivable curses and knowing their capabilities it seems like rubbish that you'd be able to duel your way out of one of them by using mediocre protection spells. Despite her dislike for the class she has proven to be exceptionally talented in it nonetheless.
Arithmancy; numbers bore her and the patterns used to solve equations are all repetitive! Serenity certainly detests this class with a passion but again it would be shameful to drop it or risk failing it. Her father wouldn't be to pleased with her...

history.

Family»» [/b]
Berty Knight ~ Father (muggleborn wizard)
Giselle La Fleur nee' Knight ~ Mother (Muggle)
Lovely Knight ~ Sister (muggleborn witch)

Past»» [/b]

• Serenity Knight was born on December 21st; an early Christmas surprise for both Giselle and Berty Knight. The girl was tenderly loved by all her family members; including her older sister (despite the neglect Lovely faced after Serenity was born) even though the older girl would never admit her affection for her baby sister. As Serenity grew older it was clear who possessed the greater affection of their parents and over the years Serenity became proud of this and would constantly gloat to Lovely about it. This resulted in a sibling rivalry that over timed, became bitter and nearly deadly!
  
• When they were children the younger girl remembered watching a horror movie with her older sister about demons called Hellhounds. Lovely Knight had been so terrified of the make-believe creatures that Serenity couldn't resist tormenting her older sister about it and cunning tricked the girl into the cellars; claiming she'd lost her favorite doll down there and that she was too afraid to go find it. Playing the role of a devoted older sibling Lovely Knight hadn't expected her baby sister to slam the door closed and lock it on her! The stranger thing was that Serenity hadn't initially wanted to lock her sister in the cellars; she'd been told to by a mysterious voice...
  
• Serenity began attending Hogwarts like every other witch or wizard but hadn't flourished away from home like her sister had. She was rather withdrawn and chilly towards people; not making it easy to make friends or companions. Honestly Serenity was afraid that if she got too close to people they would abruptly turn their backs on her one day; betray her and then she would be forced to hurt them. Over the years that inner voice of hers became more fierce and louder; provoking Serenity to do more of her malicious acts. The girl hadn't realized that something was terribly wrong with her until she committed her first truly horrid blasphemy; murder.
  
• It had been her fourth year in school and she and Lovely were to return home for Christmas. Serenity, so used to being lavished with the affections of their family, had become quite jealous when she discovered that Irene Colynuck had taken it upon herself to purchase a bunch of spectacular presents for her older sister and had been bold enough to even imitate her parents' signatures on the tags! Serenity would not allow Lovely Knight to believe that she had Giselle and Berty's attention, not even for a fleeting second and so, being hidden under the cellar stairs to witness Irene's generous act the girl tripped the old nanny and sentenced her to her doom. Again it wasn't her idea to harm the old woman and Serenity Knight had had plenty of time to sulk over her crime while the rest of the family was preoccupied with mourning for the nanny; coming to the conclusion that she was insane.
  
• Having coming to that conclusion the nagging, murderous voice in her mind had grown louder. It was persistent with its' attempts to turn Serenity Knight into a monster; with or without the girls' consent; however Serenity resisted and still continues to resist to this day. Though the girl can't deny that isolation makes her lonely; even if it is for the safety of her peers.
