'''Ravenclaw's Ravenclaw''' ''Hekate is astoundingly clever. Her mind could best be described as 'twisty', and has been. Where some people think two or three or four moves ahead, she doesn't worry much about the individual moves - she thinks in terms of the forks in the road ahead. And instead of looking at those forks and seeing 'go right' or 'go left', she's just as likely to dig a hole or climb a tree.''

'''Rowena's Raven''' ''Hekate has gained a reputation amongst the Ravenclaw House. Not just for cleverness, but for memory. As with all reputation, there's some truth to it, and some distortion. Also as with all reputation, there are people who judge her solely by what they've heard, and not always for her good. ''

Each Wizarding World Aspect represents the most noteworthy thing that happened to your character in a previous year. They can lean positive, like, ''Named Head Boy'' or they could lean negative like, ''Lost The Big Quidditch Match Singlehandedly''. Even something like ''My Mother Was A Deatheater'' can be used for good invokes and compels. First year students should start with one aspect, while returning students should start with 2.

'''As returning students, you will each be starting with two Wizarding World Aspects.'''

'''What was I doing during the Battle of Hogwarts''' (two years prior)'''?''' With Voldemort rising, her parents did not want Hekate at Hogwarts, but she wouldn't hear of staying away. Granted, it would be dangerous, but there was nowhere to hide, and she still had much to learn.

During the battle of Hogwarts, Hekate saved the life of a younger Slytherin girl, delaying a werewolf long enough for one of the teachers to deal with him.

'''Who are my parents/guardians, and what (if any) is their place in the wizarding world?''' Hekate is Pureblood as far back as either side of the family can show. She is, on her father's side, distantly related to the Weasleys, in fact. Her mother's family has been pureblood in Greece since sometime before Justinian. Neither side has ever produced a dark wizard. Her mother, Lora Orielis, was an Auror in Greece. She put that aside to raise her daughter, but has since picked it up again. Her father on the other hand, is a noted Broom maker. His brooms can hold their own against some of the best, but they're bespoke. He sells mostly to professional Quidditch players.
