detailed;
As an incredibly private person, Nina finds it difficult to open up to others. Her flirty bravado, judgmental analysis of others, and brute honesty are only some of the ways in which she hides her true, vulnerable self. She uses highly careful consideration with each and every word, firmly believing that less is more. Nina would much rather listen than speak, and enjoys interactions in which she has ample opportunity to familiarize herself with her company rather than carry the conversation on her own. This makes it far easier to understand what a person wants to hear. Though she often keeps the bulk of her thoughts to herself, Nina feels an array of emotions very deeply. She finds it easy to empathize with others and has difficulty withdrawing herself from their feelings when making decisions. She excels in her studies, with her strong work ethic and attention to detail.
❝background
Beauxbatons (September 2095 - December 2097)
Nina has always had difficulty fitting in with the other children her age. She preferred to spend her time with books rather than toys, and puzzles rather than people. Because of this, she became a target for bullies at school. Throughout primary school and her first year at Beauxbatons, she was constantly ridiculed for her interests, appearance, and mannerisms. It wasn't until she found a way to befriend those same bullies that she finally made friends her own age. But being friends with bullies came with consequences. As a result, Nina learned to be cruel and judgmental. I'm so bad at writing bios. But basically she's decent, but it's hidden underneath a big ol' mask.

SPOILER!!: under the cut

Third Year (January 2098 - August 2098)

After her mother found her father with another woman, Nina was forced to leave Beuxbatons behind in the middle of the term, when she was made to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Nina Castillo hated everything about the castle. She hated the food. She hated the people. She hated the changes. She hated that her Common Room was in the dungeons. But most of all, she hated having to start over. During her first night at the new school, Nina cried herself to sleep, waking the other girl’s in the dormitory and earning herself the nickname ‘crybaby’. The rest of the year followed a similar pattern, the girls in her dormitory continued to make fun of her, Eloise and Karlin even setting her bed on fire. Nina received her first kiss this summer, a kiss which she had been anticipating for as long as she could remember. Unfortunately, she chose to kiss Keenan Burton, who was not very kind about it at all!

Fourth Year (September 2098 - August 2099)

Despite her initial hatred for the school, Hogwarts had grown on her and she was looking forward to returning to the school in the fall, especially because her best friend, Navid Asadi, was transferring in from Beauxbatons. Unfortunately, the ridicule she faced in the dormitory last year did not subside. This year, Eloise and Co™ stepped it up a notch, soaking Nina's bed with water and leaving her with a custard filled pillow. The hazing followed her throughout the year, but there were also plenty of exciting moments as well including her "skateboarding lessons" with an older boy (Beau Montague), which turned out to be snogging sessions under a guise. She had also grown quite familiar with Calloway Bennigan this year, who took issue with Beau during a Halloween Party hosted by Aaron Botros and Jolie Chosen. And that is when Nina Castillo learned that having boys fight over you is not at all romantic. This was also the year of the legendary #lettergate in which Calyx Morgan-Bott sent anonymous love letters to both Nina Castillo and Eloise Fairfield. Somehow, Nina ended up with both letters. An! Ordeal! Another unfortunately memorable moment this year was that of the Hogwarts' boggart invasion. While nearly drowning in the boathouse water alongside Eiji Rasting and Trinnetta Gladin was absolutely terrifying, it taught them all a very important lesson: Trinetta is never to be trusted with an oar. With the entire school being uprooted and moved to Hogsmeade, Nina's diary fell into the wrong hands... And Eloise Fairfield ahd spilled some of the confidential notes to someone who definitely was not meant to read them. In terms of her coursework, several of Nina's Professors had noticed her strange behavior in class and the inconsistency between that and her homework assignments and her exams. With this in mind, she was made to have several meetings with Professors and was given many warnings in regards to her participation. After the exhausting events of this year, Nina was quite glad to be going home for the summer, but her train ride home brought on yet another surprise in the name of Calyx Morgan-Bott. Nina's summer had been one of absolute misery. While she had been away from school, her parents had gone through with a divorce. Navid Asadi's presence was a great deal of help during this time, as was her day showing Calyx Morgan-Bott around her hometown.

Fifth Year (September 2099 - August 2100)

When it was finally announced that Hogwarts' students would be taken in by Beauxbatons this school year, Nina could not think of anything worse. She dreaded the merge of the two schools, something she and Eiji Rasting could bond over. Nina chose to make herself scarce around the castle, instead focusing entirely on her studies and upcoming OWLs. She began to raise her grades within classes and received only top scores. She had managed to avoid all the drama, until it was announced that there would be a Valentine's Ball. When Calloway asked her to the ball, Nina immediately froze. As she entered the winter holiday, her mind was entirely distracted. The only moment she truly had to herself was when she went to the Morgan-Bott household for a dress fitting, after which she spent some time with Calyx. Calyx had prepared an elaborate picnic in the greenhouse and by the end of the day, Nina had a boyfriend (!!). Upon coming back to school, Nina broke the news to Calloway who did not take it well at all. The two did not talk to one another for several weeks, almost damaging Nina's new friendship with Lenora Bell. Things sifted over with Calloway, only to be made awkward by Becky Rasting's match-making service for the ball. Another notable moment was receiving a detention in Professor Sissay's classroom during an exam, all thanks to Adrian Navarro and Manaaki Jćger. /Boys/. During one of her study sessions with Calyx after one of these detentions (and a long time picking the words apart), Nina finally returned Calyx's 'I love you'. Towards the end of the term, things started to look up for the Slytherin and she thoroughly enjoyed the end-of-the-term ball with Lenora, Calyx, and all of her other friends. With summer approaching, there were many things to look forward to. Nina had been invited by Calyx to attend the wedding of Charlotte Kettleburn and Henry Whittebrook, she had obtained an internship at the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries, and a weekend visit to Paris with Indigo Rousseau. She was quite aware, however, that the end of the term meant leaving Navid Asadi, and his absence would take a far greater toll on her than she could've imagined.

Sixth Year (September 2100 - August 2101)
Nina was relieved to return back to Hogwarts, eager to see her friends and reconnect after the busy summer holiday. Her only qualm in returning was the absence of Navid Asadi. She wrote to him almost daily, but it still took a mighty toll on her heart. Jolie Chosen was another friend who did not return to Hogwarts this year and Nina found herself at a loss when in need of someone to receive advice from. Eventually she found this person (and an older sister figure) in Mackenzie Motts, who she had grown quite fond of over the course of the summer internship they had done together months prior. Nina was otherwise in high spirits for the majority of the term, making her year quite that of a contrast to that of her friend, Eiji Rasting's. Nina spent a lot of time with Eiji, being the one he came to speak to when he needed someone to listen. She did the same for Lenora Bell too, though after sometime she and Calloway Bennigan did decide to have an intervention for their friend. Alongside time spent with friends, Nina spent the large majority of her time with Calyx Morgan-Bott, who always sought opportunities to give her mind a peaceful break. On one of these occasions at the beginning of the term, he set up an elaborate picnic and even cooked paella on his own with the help of elves! Nina, unfortunately, served a few more detentions this term with Manaaki Jćger, who Eloise rightfully assumed had a crush on Neen. Even though things were going seemingly well, the stress of school work took a toll on Nina when Professor Schmoe revealed the Long Term Assignment for the year. Feeling uncomfortable, Nina suggested to Calyx that they should choose other partners for the project and this resulted in their first (and very public) fight in the Great Hall. Despite the stares (and all the egging on) by witnesses, the argument quickly fizzled and Calyx agreed to take another partner for the assignment. Over the winter holiday, Nina went back to Alicante, Spain. She liked to keep her homelife and her school life separate, but for the first time she decided to invite Calloway over to her home. On the occasion of her one year anniversary with Calyx, she invited him over to spend the night while her mother was away. She learned many things during this visit, one of which was the difficulty in building a blanket fort. The return to Hogwarts was pleasant and included a girl's night with Lenora and planning for when Calyx's family would meet Nina's mother over the upcoming Easter holiday. Aside from this, Nina kept herself busy with her studies, only taking a night off when Manaaki dragged her out of her dormitory to go to a party thrown by a younger year (Spencer Muldoon, ew). This night brought about many firsts and ended in a strange, unlikely bonding moment with Missa Renaldi. As the year came to an end, Nina decided not to send in her applications for WU London Campus' summer program because she could not perfect her application and felt it shameful to turn in what she had, despite her tireless revisions. The end of the term approached far faster than she would have liked and the final feast was difficult as it meant her friends would be graduating (Drewett Gunter, Frederick Walker, Mackenzie Motts, Gunnar McCarthy, and Evan Eastwood), coupled with the frustrating antics of Trinetta Gladin. The train ride home was of an equally somber mood, but surprise met her at home when she received a letter outlining her acceptance to the summer program she hadn't applied to. As it turned out, Calyx Morgan-Bott had submitted her applications for her, knowing how badly she wanted to participate in the program. Nina was sure to show him her gratitude during their sailing trips together throughout the summer.

Seventh Year (September 2101 - August 2102)
After a summer filled with many ups (participating in the summer program at London WU, celebrating Calyx's birthday with a weekend boating trip, and hosting Indigo in Spain for the month of June) and many downs (her horrid roommate for the duration of the summer program, Astrid), Nina was ready to go back to Hogwarts come September. She slipped into a compartment occupied by Eiji Rasting and Jina Morin and though it started off as a pleasant trio, it quickly became apparent that Eiji was in a horrid mood. Unfortunately, he decided to take it out on Nina who left the compartment in tears after her friend had taken a pointed jab at her boyfriend. She immediately went to find Calyx and spent the rest of the train ride wrapped in his arms. Despite the torrential downpour that awaited their arrival, Eiji managed to steal Nina away for a chat before they entered the castle and the two were able to make up before the start of the feast. Despite the rocky start to the term, things were relatively calm. She managed to finish her uni applications far ahead of the rest of her peers and mailed in her applications early as to not spend more time revisiting them. Though she spent the term agonizing over the many changes that would come after graduation, she also spent plenty of time worrying that they would disappear forever as a result of the strange storm taking place around them. With some major adjustments to her day-to-day (namely keeping VERY specific accounts of her schedules and thoughts), she was able to make her way through the weeks seamlessly. There were only a few occasions that this was not the case, one being when she wore her fuzzy bunny slippers to Defense Against the Dark Arts and received massive ridicule from her peers (especially Nemsis Upstead). Despite being cut off from magic, communication with some of her dearest friends (Indigo and Navid), and her memory, Nina managed to have an enjoyable year and spent plenty of quality time with her closest friends. With the return of magic, she celebrated the end of the term and her birthday with Calyx-Morgan Bott with a romantic dinner set up in one of the greenhouses, where he proposed to her (& she said yes, of course). During the final feast she managed to have a heartfelt moment with Eiji before Nemesis Upstead soured their moods and forced them to leave the table. But all in all, it was a memorable way to end her time at Hogwarts.
