_____❝ personality

TYPE (PRE-HOGWARTS): ENTJ-A

Philippa has been doted on and very much spoiled from the moment Jamie and Caspar adopted her when she was four. Always a bubbly child, she was instantly drawn to the limelight of Caspar's career and was soon involved in the modelling industry, giving her body confidence and self awareness from a very early age. She began modelling professionally when she was seven years old, and Caspar has been her manager from the beginning.

Other than the life in front of cameras, Philippa enjoys playing intellectual games with Jamie. A budding wandmaker and researcher of magical woods and their properties, Jamie has instilled a love of learning within Philippa and a wonder for the world around her. He skipped fairytales and went straight into novels, reading to her until she would fall asleep. Even when he was only her godfather, Jamie was a prominent figure in shaping Philippa's personalities and interests.

When Caspar and Jamie adopted Nikolaus, it introduced the element of sports into Philippa's life. From a life of only ballet and primary school physical education, she discovered a love of physical activity and it's not uncommon to find her and Nikolaus either playing Quidditch when it's warm outside or chasing each other through the woods just outside their house. Per Niko's request, the siblings started riding horses and going to karate lessons together and maintain a (debatable) healthy competitive attitude to both hobbies.

When not "being sweaty and gross" with Niko, Philippa demands to always be impeccably dressed and groomed. With family all across Europe, the little brunette has grown up with a sense of entitlement and ignorance towards what other children's lives are. Spoiled by all her family members, from Parisian Desiree and Athena to Italian Nonna Beth and German Michaela, Philippa is accustomed to a standard of living that includes designer clothes, high end restaurants and constant attention from everyone arround her.

During year leading up to Hogwarts both Jamie and Caspar have tried to lower Philippa's head from its place in the clouds, discussing at length the reality of the school and what she will and won't be able to do. This, naturally, has fallen on mostly deaf ears and only time will tell how Philippa adjusts to life at the school.

_____❝ history & education

Genevieve Murray and Jamie Summers met at Edinburgh Wizarding University, studying charms and wandlore. They became fast friends not long after and continued to be so throughout the entirety of their degree. Gen met her boyfriend, Philippa's father, Lee Greenfield when she was nineteen and instantly fell in love. They were married eight months after that, and Philippa was born on the fourth of February, 2082. Jamie, Gen's best friend, was named Philippa's godfather.

At first it all went well. Genevieve managed to juggle raising her baby girl and attending school, until one day when Philippa was barely one year old, Lee had disappeared. He left a note saying that he loved her but it was too hard, and she would never see him again. There was no mention of Philippa in the note. Genevieve was distraught and dropped out of school, secluding herself with Philippa and refusing to see anyone at all, including Jamie.

When Philippa was three years old, Jamie heard from Genevieve once more. She was terminally ill, and she was calling to remind him that he was still Philippa's godfather. Should anything happen to her, he would need to take care of Philippa. Alarmed, both him and Caspar persuaded Genevieve to move in with them, to help her through this difficult time.

She lasted longer than the Healers expected, and passed away in her sleep on the 31st of January, 2086. Jamie and Caspar postponed their wedding to the summer of that year, and when Philippa still wasn't better, only held a small ceremony, pushing the big celebrations to October of 2086, when they first brought up the idea of adoption and Philippa was beginning to respond to professional help.

Philippa officially became Philippa von Brandt on June 2087 and the smile returned to her face. The family moved to Ambleside during autumn of that year and their new life started. Niko was adopted two years after that, and Philippa's memory of her mother faded to a fond feeling in her tummy and a conveniently dramatic story to tell her friends.

Her first sign of magic happened on Christmas Eve in 2087, when she accidentally froze the entire dinner table in her efforts to cool down her own food. Her parents, still rather young, decided to keep her at home with them until she turned six at the very least. In the end Philippa started magical primary school when she was seven and discovered the value of friends her own age.

With Hogwarts now fast approaching their house divided into two teams, as she liked to say; team Philippa with unbridled excitement and joy at finally reaching school age, and team Boys where Jamie and Cas (and Niko, who was confused but wanted to stick with his parents because they have the sweets) stood, worried about her safety in light of recent events at the school.
