PATRONUS Sparrow PETS None as the moment ABILITIES Non-verbal magic. Tell me who you are, I'm sure you're some kind of superstar. Free Style DRAGONOLOGISTS Let's start this by telling you about the Tchaikovsky family. The ancestors of this family could be traced all the way back to 1800's, they've started in Russia, which was call the Russian Empire back then. The family has always stay purely magician, they alone took pride in dragon-taming, knowledge of dragonology were passed from father to son, and the son to their own sons, and on and on. While unlike the rest of the wizards society who moved on along the turns of centuries, the Tchaikovsky held on to their family values and conservative mindset, that boys are prizes and girls are spares. Most of the time girls are meant to be married off to another pureblood family on business purposes, using marriage to provide both families a basic trust fund so they could feel safer taking out a large sum of money to work on a new, risky project that might not work. Mikhail Tchaikovsky II was the first one in the family to move to London, he found the new land full of possibilities and unlimited opportunities, he was fairly right. Years past, Mikhail started his new life here as his trades bloomed, he found himself a lady he loves in the name of Gwenette Rose, as she's also from a pure magical line, their wedding were held just short three weeks later. The family expended after two years, the couple were blessed with two sons - Demetri and Ivan - and a girl, Alexandra. So the Tchaikovsky continued to stay, they have a huge mansion at the outskirts of London town, and numerous properties on the land before 1900's rolled over. That was when they have a change in the government, the new rules were set, and dragons were classified as XXXXX, the most dangerous magical creature, or known wizard killers. Dragon dealers were deemed illegal in the process. It isn't too hard to understand Tchaikovsky's dislike towards the Ministry of Magic. Their business went underground and mostly kept based in Russian and Romanian ever since. Later part of the family history has spoken of them being Death Eaters, they believes in purity of blood. But they were not caught in action, the fact that their names remained unspoken shown how careful and cunning they are, a Tchaikovsky is not someone one want to mess with, they have many traits, some good and some bad, but mercy and kindness are not among them. ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY Year 1974, Erik Tchaikovsky is the man we focuses on, he has an older brother named Nikolay Tchaikovsky and a younger sister Veronika Tchaikovsky, his parents Viktor and Alyona (nee Ó Scannail) were both avid Dark Lord supporters, went into hiding after You-Know-Who fell. Along with which, half of their wealth were cut, but they have enough to stay afloat. Erik is the middle son, he is the parents' favorite for his natural smartness, cunning and skilled at manipulating people, a trait Veronika shares too. Nikolay is more of the goody-two-shoes, he even got sorted into Ravenclaw when he got to Hogwarts, a fact which only please Erik seeing how that secured his position in his parents' heart. Both Erik and Veronika were sorted into Slytherin. He got through school with brilliant results, with a knack of making people do what he wants them to. But it displeased him when they found out Nikolay is the one which inherited Animal Affinity and naturally good with taming Dragons. The fight among siblings went on stronger than ever. Year 1995, Erik graduated, and a year later he found himself a suitable lady, Brenda MacAuley. The MacAuley family were known for trafficking muggles antiques and he runs an petrol oil business, a rich man nevertheless, with Brenda his only daughter. Erik would be lying if he tells you that isn't one of the main reason he marries her. At the same time - this should stay a secret - he has been secretly seeing Rose Leatherby, a half-blood witch he met in school. She was convinced that Erik loves her, perhaps he does, but their meetings always stays a secret, in the dead of the night and he has never stays longer than the night. Year 1997, the year Voldermort's fall, Erik has been wise keeping his head low, he knew the dark time won't last long, he was right. 1998 he was blessed with his first child, a beautiful baby girl, Vasilisa. Then a year later, Cinderella (1999), the mother has a fondness for fairy tales characters. Three years after Cinderella came Merida (2002), then Aurora (2004) and and last came Lolita (2006). Yup, all girls, and no boy. Trust me, they've tried very hard. Erik isn't pleased with that fact, as said the family would always always prefer boys to girls, girls are for spares and to be married to another family. So what would he do? It was like God was giving him a solution, when Rose died of cancer in 2008, he found a reason to introduce his other kids to the family, half-blood kids who he cheated the world as pureblood. No one suspect as much, perhaps maybe Vesilissa, the smart first girl in the family. And none of the kids like one another. Jadred the oldest child of them all, born late 1996, slightly one year and 9 months older than Vasilissa. Four years after him came Jerrick, another boy. Jessenia joined the family at 2004, and wrapping up the last, born in 2007 a boy Jared. Yup, one big happy family. MERIDA JUNE TCHAIKOVSKY Merida Tchaikovsky is born the third girl in this dysfunctional family. Just another girl, one who inherited Brenda's dark hair and brown eyes. Her beauty could be seen on her youthful face but she's still a disappointment in Erik's eyes. Needless to say, this young girl grown up having little to no attention from both her parents, his father always too busy working and mother too busy attempting to catch Erik's attention back, giving birth to kids after kids, it was until the discovery of Erik's other family that she has stopped trying, though the hating phrase her mother gone into isn't at all healthy either. Like the other Tchaikovsky kids Merida grown up under the care of her nanny and tutors, she spends more time seeing those adults with no blood relation with her than her own parents. Being slapped right in the middle of four sisters, two older and two younger, it comes natural of her take on a milder personality: the peacemaker, the gentle one who would calm a quarrel between her siblings. And probably due to being the middle child, with four other bright and beautiful sisters all having their own strengths and growing up to be just as beautiful - if not more so - she just couldn't help herself having that hint of self doubts at time. Just a hint, especially when it comes to family events and formal parties, she couldn't help herself shying off to one corner and let her sisters has all the attention because she felt she isn't comparable to them. After all, Vasilisa is resourceful, Cinderella beautiful, Aurora witty and even Lolita, young Lolita is brave and outgoing. With all these fabulous sisters surrounding herself, who would look at the quiet Merida standing right in the middle of the group? It doesn't help that the world constantly prove her right either, she would be the last to ask out on the dance floor during any ball, most boys won't really pay her attention when her sisters are around. She isn't plain, she doesn't think she is, with her small chin, tan skin that goes well with her dark hair and eyes, she would call herself beautiful too, just not as beautiful as her sisters. Perhaps there's where a little jealousy started blooming, and then a little resentment. Don't get her wrong, she loves her sisters dearly for they felt like the only family she has left, the only ones who has always been there for her at least when her parents couldn't be, it is just human to feel a little negative when they all have something she wanted in her life. Age six is a different year, when her father introduced home four other children, Jedred, Jerrick, Jessenia and Jered. Following the footsteps of their mother, the girls quickly showed their dislike towards those "brothers and sisters". Merida though, remained curious about them. Halfblood, what are they which makes the mention of it a taboo and the word such a disgrace to the family? DIRTY LITTLE SECRET None other knows however it appears that Erik Tchaikovsky isn't the only one who's having an affair. Days are long and life is a little dull at the Tchaikovsky estate, especially during days when Erik spent out late, or on business trip for days in row. To pass these empty hours Brenda soon found comfort with her daughters' tutor. Mr. Danowski is well-mannered and kind, he's smart and funny, it is just impossible for any woman to resist his charm, especially not when he returns the affection. Their secret meetings went on for about half a year, those late nights visit to a private apartment, those hours they needed to spend together "discussing" about her daughter's future. One day, they were discovered by a house elf walking into this corner of the library with the intention to clean. The old elf was soon under the threat of Brenda, forced to keep her silence. And the month after this whole little incident, Brenda was pregnant for the third time. No one else should know this little secret, especially not after the old elf accidentally drowned herself in the property's old well that one rainy day. JOURNEY THROUGH HOGWARTS The summer before she turns eleven, Merida gotten her Hogwarts acceptance letter along with her two older sister, that celebratory meal was same as ever, shared with her siblings and her nanny who has spent the whole evening nagging at Merida to be mindful of her manners when she's away at school. The next day she headed into the Diagon Alley with her siblings and money from her parents for new school needs item, of all those which Merida lack in life, money has certainly not been one of them. New, tailor made school uniforms, a new haircut and a new set of books later, Merida found herself being led to the Ollivander's wand shop. Her heart racing as she walked into the shop, knowing by heart that it is a wand who choose the witch, however strong her wand would be prove how strong a which she is; the most important moment of her life, how good a witch she is, it felt to this ten-year-old - going eleven - like it is going to be reveal the next moment. It wasn't as simple, it took almost an hour, and she had damaged various part of the shops while trying out for a suitable wand. It comes later, a wand that's so pale in color it appears white with twisted shape and a near transparent handle. "Maybe she'll fit you," Mr. Ollivander told her, Merida reached out a ginger hand to that beautiful wand. It felt like something out of a fairy take. There need no trying, she just felt it, the surge of magic flowing into her that she has to suck in a breath to steady herself. This is the one. Looking at the sour expressions on her sisters faces when they saw her new wand, part of Merida couldn't help feeling gleeful. Even though she knows it is not a healthy feelings to have, for that moment though the idea that she had finally something that got her sisters jealous, it felt great, to own something they won't ever have. Merida chastised herself all the way home, but those happy feelings she couldn't chase away, her wand felt like the best gift she ever get for her upcoming birthday. September 1st they came to board the Hogwarts Express. There was gentle hugs with her sisters and the promise to write, one which was dropped weeks into her new school year. Merida, like her older sisters were sorted into Slytherin, though unlike her sisters who had got immediate answer, the hat has to take a while debating about Merida. Hufflepuff or Slytherin? Apparently the third Tchaikovsky girl could be fit into either. Hardworking and a little insecure, ambition and aimed to make something better out of her life. The hat respected this girl's choice at the end and put her into Slytherin, where the pure and dignify Tchaikovskys belong. School years passed quiet and nice for Merida, here she doesn't has to spend her every seconds around her sisters, she made her own group of friends, being admired and being looked up to. She's smart, or smart enough to get decent results on her school works, her peers known Merida as one who has both beauty and brain. Who knows being jealous of is such an addictive feeling? Like most teenagers, she learned, she lives, she made mistakes; she falls, she got hurt, days spent in tears unable to eat or sleep, let alone concentrate on her school work; Those nights she spend tossing and turning not able to fall asleep, those struggles she had trying to decide what's the right thing to do. Merida changed over the year, though not too much that she has still that streak of unwavering loyalty to those she loves, and would struggles to do what they wanted her to do even though it might not be something she really want in her life. She graduated, and unlike her sisters who were out to made their parents proud, Merida got her "just pretty decent" NEWTs results. There she got her O's in Charms, COMC, Transfiguration and Potion, E's for plenty other subjects. Mostly, Merida is just smart enough to pick only subjects she is good at and long abandoned those she's bad at after her OWLs. HER NEW JOURNEY After graduation, this girl quickly jumped into ministry's job through the arrangement of her parents, while it isn't her dream job, nor is it even fun working nine-to-five behind a desk, the days passed by and she has got her weekends off for personal space. She isn't half bad at dealing with paperwork too, really. Merida's dream though, one she told no one for the fear of being laugh at, one she knows that her father won't approve of: is to open a pets shop. Probably isn't a realistic dream, not in the sense that the Tchaikovsky can't afford, but her father has never been high of letting girl run a business, even a small ones. Just life as a Tchaikovsky girl. Year 2023 just soon after Merida turned 21, she was hit by a news which while she dislike, she too understand this would be something she would need to accept. Her father's decision has always been absolute, even when it comes to the biggest choice for the rest of her life: who she is to marry. Well maybe Merida just trusts her parents to make a wise choice for her. Brian Flint, the oldest heir to the Flint Industries. He's smart, he's charming, funny, that first meeting he did left quite an impression, perhaps not enough to completely erase the doubts in her heart suspecting if arranged marriage would really bring one true happy, it was enough to convinced her perhaps she could give them a try. And hence, her new journey started there, when she walked down the aisle to him, saying I Do like how she envisioned it when she was still 5 and marriage still sounds like a fairy tale. The question now, is she going to get the perfect Happily Ever After every girl was hoping for? Let's us all just be friend, And together we can start a new trend.
