Background
Dot Wojack-Gusey was born 26 March, 2072, or at least that's the date she celebrates her birthday. Soon after her birth, Dot was adopted by Stella Wojack, a Healer and midwife. She was informally adopted by Stella's roommate, Ogden Gusey, and her childhood was spent living in middle class comfort just outside of London. It wasn't until Christmas of Dot's second year that Stella and Ogden got married, and she became a hyphenated 'Wojack-Gusey'. A year later, her brother Samuel "Bubba" Gusey was born. Although he isn't related biologically, Bubba is Dot's baby brother utterly and completely and made her family finally coalesce.

Dot attended Durmstrang for her first year, but she was eager to transfer as a second year in order to attend school with friends she'd made in her pre-Durmstrang/Hogwarts days. Her time at Durmstrang was hard and friendless, and she happily came to Hogwarts as a second year. Despite initial disappointment that she wasn't sorted with her friends, she's come to recognize the benefits of being a Slytherin and has blossomed there.
Personality
The Wojack-Gusey household is an interesting mix of personalities, and each of her parents left their mark on the funny little ginger they adopted. Stella Wojack-Gusey, busybody midwife and Healer, can't keep a secret to save her life. With such an open personality, Stella struggles constantly at living in a house with the taciturn Ogden Gusey, who holds secrets and information close like prized jewels. Between the constant struggle to communicate with a mother who over-communicates and wants to dissect every moment and emotion in conversation, and the fight to build a relationship with a father figure who gives very little away, Dot tends to overshare when it doesn't matter to cover up the information that does. Knowledge is power and information given can never be taken back, and Dot prefers to err on the side of careful judgment before speaking... which is ironic, given that she comes across as a chatterbox.

Although she can be bright and engaging with those who have earned her trust and who don't make her feel scrutinized, Dot can come comes across as sullen and odd. She doesn't like being made to feel stupid, and she prefers to understand the rules of engagement before jumping in with both feet. Her general mistrust of strangers and her reticence to share even on a good day have developed in Dot a self-sufficiency and the tendency to try to handle things herself.

The Wojack-Gusey household never really wanted for the basics during Dot's childhood - she never went hungry, she had clothes and toys and good schooling - but they are definitely not wealthy, and Dot's proximity to the upper class throughout her childhood made that very apparent. Stella wanted very much for Dot to have a normal childhood, making her do chores for an allowance, declining to buy her new clothes when the old ones fit perfectly well, and enrolling her in some rather pedestrian after school activities to socialize Dot with 'normal' children. Still, Dot has a stubborn streak and a single-minded willfulness to have her way, and any deprivations in her childhood were made over by her own ingenuity. She has a well developed sense of personal style, often wearing clothes she made over herself or carefully recreated to appeal to her aesthetic.
