Because I'm selfish...

Name: Arissa Lewis
Nickname: Rissa, Riss, Rissy
Age: 16
Year: 4th
Blood: Pure
DoB: August 16
Appearance:

Personality:
Rissa is quite social- she remembers faces and knows names after the first time of meeting someone. She loves to smile and laugh, and often makes jokes to lighten the mood. However, she is quite conscious of when it is time to remain quiet and when to speak up. She is a good friend, offering a shoulder to cry on or an ear to whatever troubles. She is not very good at restraining her temper, however. If someone was hurt by another, claws are bared- literally.

Powers:
Arissa has powers quite similar to a Metamorphmagus. However, animals are more her thing instead of her own personal appearance. It may seem the opposite, but she had been practicing animals for ages. She can transform into practically any animal- although there are many she hasn't tried. Mythical creatures are a bit more difficult to transform into and back from and require a lot of energy to do so.

History:
Arissa's powers appeared with a case of hiccups. She was about 7 when she was playing in the yard, and the hiccups hit her. After one hiccup, she was fine. But the second... with each new hiccup after that she changed into a different animal. Her mother was completely hysterical as she tried to find a cure- either magical or practical. Then, when the hiccups faded, so did the corresponding changes. But, Arissa was now aware of her ability and struggled to discover the key to it. It wasn't long until she did, and her parents didn't know what to do with it. Eventually she ended up at Deumont school in order to develop her ability further.
