Keeley Smith Background - Mina was born on a warm June morning while her parents and siblings were on vacation in France. She was the third daughter to be born to Benjamin & Océane Bennett and the fifth child of seven. Spending most of her childhood between the English countryside and France, she was home-schooled up till her attendance at Hogwarts. She's the first of all her siblings to attend Hogwarts. All her other siblings either attended Beauxbatons or Durmstrang. At the age of 8, her family moved to London and have resided there since. She sends most of her summers in France with her mother and siblings as he father is rarely home and on business.
Mina is known as the well-behaved one among her sisters. Odetta was the wild, scandalous sister, Camille the picture of a perfect English lady, and the twins, Victoire and Noémi, the babies. Mina was just in the middle of it all. She was just there and kind of blended in, never bring too much attention to herself. Things changed on the year lending up to her eleventh birthday. From the time of her tenth birthday to her eleventh, she Begin to resemble her eldest sister in appearance. They were both described to have a flawless porcelain complexion, dark brown hair, and wide hazel eyes. Many thought that Mina was a mirror image of Odetta at that age, but the similarities ended there.
Mina was always known to have a book in her hand and could be found in the library or held up in a quiet corner doing something studious. She was her father's little book. Her thirst for knowledge rivalled his to a fault at times. That reason alone was why her father chose to let her attend Hogwarts against her mother's wishes.
Even at a young age, Mina showed high magical potential. Her first incident of accidental magic was at the age of 4, when she turned her brother, Sébastien's hair magenta after he stole her favourite book.
First year:
Mina was the first Bennett to attend Hogwarts and was almost sorted into Slytherin, like her father. Very shy and quiet her first year, she mainly studied and went to classes. She never really interacted much with others until the CoMC/Herbology class. This is where she met her first friend outside her own house. From that moment on, she began to open up and started to befriend others. She took to liking the game of Quidditch after watching her first real match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. The Eagles lost, but she had a great time and the seed was planted for her to try out the next term. During this time, she developed a slight crush on a certain friend and tried as hard as possible to hide it. The severity of the crush was brought to the surface during a potions lesson, where a love potion was involved. A slight cat fight resulted. Blood, cries, and many hurt feelings came from that lesson and thing were a bit awkward for a few months. Hiding her feelings more, things eventually went back to normal. She was also one of the top five house point scorers for Ravenclaw.
During the summer, she attended the Quidditch World Cup and travelled to Transylvania with her cousin, Jade. She eventually ended up spending most of her summer in the company of her cousin. Whilst Jade was at work, she was usually found in Diagon Alley or wandering Hyde Park. After purchasing her first boom, she spent most of her summer practising in preparation of trying out for the house team.
