Habits: Twirls her hair when she gets nervous, tends to draw little shapes and symbols in the margin of her textbook, gets caught up into a daydream way too often. Writes down song lyrics when she's distracted, too.
Personality: Clara is kind and bubbly, with a fierce loyalty towards her friends and loved ones. She's smarter than she often lets on, and she's a very determined girl. When she says she'll do something, she'll do it, or at least make her very best efforts to do so. She has an open mind, and she's very creative. She'll stand up for what she believes in and protect those who need it. She's not the type of girl to spread gossip, however. She likes hearing it, sure, but she won't spread secrets that aren't hers to spread. She's very reserved at times and she often comes across as shy, although if you're someone she knows well she is quite the adventurous girl. She puts everyone else before herself and often doesn't stop to think of her personal feelings, which isn't exactly a good thing. She doesn't find it difficult to show what she feels, but often chooses not to do so, fearing that she'll get hurt. She has a very fiery temper if you push her to her limits, but it takes a lot to do that. She's usually very calm and collected, and she often prefers sorting out situations fairly.

History: Clara's past was not exactly what one would call average. Her father, Amadeus Salvatore, was a wizard. Her mother was a Muggle, making Clara a half blood. When she was born, she was well-looked after. Amadeus and Rose, with the occasional help of Clara's four year old brother Aaron, raised Clara carefully and cared for her as much as they possibly could. Aaron and Clara bonded extremely well as Clara grew up. While they definitely had the teasing-sibling rivalry, they were also the best of friends. He taught her many things and she owes quite a bit of her knowledge of life to him. It was Aaron who taught Clara how to do basic things; climb trees, run faster, tie ropes...everything they needed to play games and such.

She discovered her talent for drawing when she was six or seven years old. She practised drawing a lot, and often wrote short, silly stories to go along with them - with the help of her mother. She drew lots of pictures for her family, and slowly they went from good to better. They were quite proud.

It wasn't until Clara was six years old that she started to show signs of magic. And as soon as that day came, Amadeus sat the young girl down and explained everything to her, in words that a six year old would understand. It would all be explained later, in greater detail, when she was old enough to understand. Amadeus gave her a few minor lessons in magic, giving her a practice wand and giving her a few very, very simple spells. She adapted pretty well, and soon enough, she got quite good at it. When she was eleven, she got her acceptance letter to Hogwarts. That was when everything was explained to her in more detail. And this time she understood way better. She was taken to get her Hogwarts supplies, and she got an owl that she named Flanders.

When she was seven years old, her sister, Natalie, was born. She and Aaron were rather surprised but they treated her like they treated each other; with love and care and occasional teasing when she got old enough to understand it. They loved their sister dearly but they still got along better with each other because of all their secret games and long, serious talks. Clara will always look up to Aaron as her mentor, because he was there for her whenever she needed him.

During her childhood, she took a big interest in Quidditch and she often went to watch games with Aaron and her dad. She found the whole thing extremely interesting and she hoped that she herself would be able to play. In her fourth year, she tried out for the team and got in as the keeper. She was extremely happy and she practised very hard, at home and at school. Aaron and her father gave her lots of tips, while Rose focused on teaching Clara about the home life; cooking and cleaning and such. Rose was a muggle born, but she got to go to Hogwarts as well so she knew how to do magic. Clara was glad about that because otherwise her mother might have felt left out, and she didn't want that.

In Clara's fifth year of Hogwarts, she began to realize that she wasn't just attracted to guys. She was attracted to girls too. In fact, she came to realize that she could love literally anyone. She knew the term for it was panromantic. She wasn't ashamed of this. In fact, she was very happy about it and she came clean to her family about it. They were very supportive and proud of her and, as always, they encouraged her. She had never felt more cared about in her life. Her O.W.Ls were pretty difficult in her fifth year, but she spent most of her time in the library studying, and so she passed with flying colours. She decided that she wanted to be either a Quidditch player when she finished school, or a professor at Hogwarts. She had several subjects that she would want to teach, but she decided that she had way more time to figure out what she wanted to be, so she wasn't going to dwell on it much.

Now, in her sixth year, she's determined to ace her subjects as best she can, while also having a good time and making good memories. She's been writing a story, with drawings to go with it, and in general she's very happy about where her life is going.
