Ruled by Neptune, this woman was born with subtle emotions, and secret mystic depth. She is friendly and kind-hearted but like a dream she is so full of imagination, her mind swims at a depth, most would drown in. She comes from a planet of inspiration, receptivity and illusion. She has an open mind. She is beautiful, but not like most, she is beautiful for her mind, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talks about something she loves.
'She wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as looks, she was beautiful, deep down to her soul.' She has the beauty of an everlasting sunrise. Full of light. She does not demand attention. She is subtle, soft but strong. She is a water sign, empathetic and compassionate. She is sensitive. Her mysterious soul draws people to her and that is part of her magic. It is what makes her so powerful. 'She was beautifully out of place. Something I believe she intended to be. Like the sun during the night.' It took an entire galaxy being woven into one to make her but that does not rule her.

PUREBLOOD
"Quote."
– X
Wizardkind are humans that are born with the ability to perform magic. The magical ability is an inherited trait, usually passed from parent to child. While pure-bloods are born of two wizarding parents and half-bloods are often born of one wizard and one muggle or muggle-born parent, muggle-born wizards and witches are born with their magical abilities because they are distant descendants of a squib (a magical child with no magical abilities) whom marries into a muggle-family. From that point on, the branch of the wizarding family often loses all traces of its wizarding legacy, which resurfaces many generations later in a muggle-born descendant.
⎨CHARMS⎬
A charm, also known as an enchantment, is a spell that adds certain properties to an object or individual. Charms are distinguished from transfigurations in that a charm adds or changes properties of an object; it focuses on altering what the object does as opposed to what the object is. For example, the Colour Change Charm causes something to flash different colours; the Levitation Charm causes an object to levitate, the Cheering Charm improves upon a creature's mood.
⎨TRANSFIGURATION⎬
Transfiguration is a branch of magic that focuses on the alteration of the form or appearance of an object, via the alteration of the object's molecular structure. Transfiguration can be done to most (if not all) objects and, as with most forms of magic, it includes - but is hardly limited to - Transfiguration spells.
⎨JINXES & CURSES⎬
A curse was a type of dark charm which was used for the worst kinds of dark magic. The most heinous of the three dark charms, curses came in many strengths and forms, but were usually reserved for causing immense suffering to the victim, such as excruciating pain, mind control, or even death.
⎨POTIONS⎬
Potions (Latin potio, 'beverage') are magical mixtures commonly brewed in cauldrons and used to create a number of magical effects on the drinker. Potions range in effects, nature, and brewing difficulty. An example of a beginners potion is the Cure for Boils, which is the first potion learned at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredibly advanced and challenging one is the Polyjuice Potion, that even adult Witches and Wizards have trouble with.
⎨APPARITION⎬
Apparition is a magical form of transportation, in which the user travels instantly from one location to another, without traversing the space in-between. This is accomplished by having the user focus on a desired location in their mind and then purposely disappearing from where they were, to reappear at the desired location. Apparition is by far the fastest way to get to a desired destination, but is tricky to pull off correctly and disastrous if botched. The ability to apparate was a relatively advanced skill for wizards.
