  Ila Annelise Matthiasen [house] Second Year This Character Belongs to Rabbitty

Ila Annelise Matthiasen is a Danish transfer, second year [house] student at the International Academy of Magic. History Ila Annelise was born in Copenhagen, just after midnight on the first day of May, to a single mother. Her parents had broken up during the early staged of Jytte's pregnancy, and she never told him she was pregnant.

Jytte raised the baby by herself. When Ila was little, she was shy and always stayed close to her mother. Slowly at first, then rapidly, she grew into herself. Confident, opinionated, and independent. She pulled away from her mum at the same time, and she never needed or wanted her after that.

Ila, unluckily, had a series of childhood friends, who each moved away. Ila learned how to be alone and happy with yourself and have that be enough.

Ila'll always felt emotions mores strongly that most people, and when she got mad, things would happen. Little things, like a particularly irritating classmate's test paper would disappear. Someone's shoe would get stuff to the floor with a sticky substance of some sort. And big things, like a cupboard spontaneously combusting, or a fire hydrant breaking, sending water shooting 12 meters up in the air.

When Ila turned 11, a woman came to the door. Jytte sent Ila to her room, and talked to the woman for hours. When she finally called Ila in, they explained that she was a witch, a magical witch and needed to go to school for magic, Durmstrang,

When September came, Jytte took Ila to a lake, to board the boat. Ila boarded the boat, not once looking back over her shoulder.

And once classes started, it became apparent that Ila was talented. Ila loves magic, not because of any great driving passion but because she’s very, very good at it. And Ila loves that; being good at it, being better than other people, plus a little muggle-born fascination with magic.

But during the year, when Ila was at school, Jytte was learning about wizarding schools; just were was it that here daughter was? The witch who came had obviously thought well of Durmstrang, but what did she know? When Jytte learned that Durmstrang taught the kids dark magic that other schools didn't, she decided Ila couldn't stay. So when Ila returned, Jytte told her that she would be transferring IAM for next term, and no, it was not up for discussion. <div style="font-size:140%; font-family:'Estrangelo Edessa'; text-shadow: 2px 2px #FAFFCC; padding:3px; -moz-border-radius:3ex; border-radius:3ex;">Personality <font face="Estrangelo Edessa" size="3">Ila is three-faced. She can be quiet, respectful, polite and courteous — most often to pass under the radar. But she can stand her ground too — sassy, bold, sharp-tongued and sarcastic. Ila's fluctuating; she rarely means to cause any significant harm, but can be truly cruel. <div style="font-size:140%; font-family:'Estrangelo Edessa'; text-shadow: 2px 2px #FAFFCC; padding:3px; -moz-border-radius:3ex; border-radius:3ex;">Appearance <font face="Estrangelo Edessa" size="3">She's tall for her age, with brown hair, hazel eyes, and pale skin splashed with freckles. Ila is a truly beautiful little girl, but something about her looks faraway, almost haunted sometimes, that makes people feel bad for her occasionally.
