PERSONALITY: Arabella often comes across as a stuck up, self-serving, pretentious know-it-all, which in all actuality, she probably is. She's pretty and she's smart- and she knows it. She knows what she wants and she'll get it- no matter what the cost. She is very used to getting her way- her parents spoil all of their children and Arabella is not used to hearing the word 'no'. She isn't at the very top of her class- mostly because she doesn't care to be. She does very well in the subjects that interest her and average in the ones she doesn't care about. She's confident- almost too confident at times, and yet can be insecure. She'd never show it to anybody else, unless she really really trusted them. She knows how to act to get what she wants and she's not afraid to do so. The oldest of three, Arabella is her parents' little angel. In their eyes, she is perfect, exactly as she is- she's heard it so much that she really believes it.

She is fiercely protective of and very loyal to those she cares about. Especially her siblings. She'd do anything to them. She has a rather vicious nature at times, sometimes preferring to hex first and ask questions later. She's served more than just a few detentions for this, although she has gotten quite good at managing to avoid getting caught. Most of the time. Her siblings are her best friends, though she does have her own little group at school, made up mostly of whoever she decides she likes the most.

Arabella is rather quiet, preferring to listen than to speak too much. In listening to the world around her, she feels that she can learn so much more than being one of those who speak too much and say nothing at all. She'll listen, and she'll file things away in her memory for later. Often, she'll remember random facts and little details that she can use to gain her own ends. She's a bit of a dreamer, something that her high ambitions can be attributed to. She always has a journal of her own on her, where she scribbles her thoughts, dreams, doodles, lists, and stories. She wants to be a novelist someday, and has a collection of journals that she has been keeping for nearly as long as she's been able to write.

HISTORY: Miles and Kathryn were married for nearly four years before Arabella was born. This was, in part, due to a miscarriage Kathryn suffered a year or so before they were married, which maybe explains why they treat their children as they do. They also wanted to enjoy being married and being young for a little while before being tied down by the responsibilities of children. They knew they wanted at least one son and one daughter, and when Kathryn found herself pregnant at twenty-four, they couldn't be happier.

Arabella was born a couple of weeks early, on the morning of November 9th. It was a relatively easy birth, and they were able to bring their daughter home the next day. She was a good child and things progressed as they should. A few months after Ella was born, Kathryn discovered that she was pregnant again- they had been trying, since they wanted a son. Arabella's brother, Nathaniel Cai Bletchley, was born in October of the following year, just ten months after his sister. Now that they had their two children, Miles and Kathryn were content to wait before considering another, but their next daughter had other ideas. Barely two months after Nathaniel was born, Kathryn found herself pregnant for a third time, much to their surprise. It wasn't as much of a surprise to anybody else; everybody could see that they couldn't keep their hands off of each other. Arabella's younger sister, Morgaine Freya, was born in August of that next year.

Arabella had a not-so-average childhood. She and her siblings were raised with the best of everything- the best tutors, the best clothes, the best toys- if they wanted it, it was very likely that they got it. Her father, a former Death Eater, would very occasionally disappear for an evening to attend underground meetings, and sometimes both of her parents would go off for a few hours, but the children didn't notice when they were younger. All in all, she had a happy childhood.

Her parents were not prone to keeping secrets from their children, although they did not always offer the information to them first. If they asked, they were given an honest answer. Her first word was 'Daddy' and she is incredibly close to her father. She completely idolizes the man and she would do absolutely anything for him. Ella's first signs of magic happened when she was around three or four- an slightly older boy was picking on her brother and she got very upset. The next thing anybody knew, the boy was covered in itchy red spots and crying for his mother. This happened a few more times, but mostly when she was really upset.

Nobody was surprised when she received her Hogwarts letter. It was off to Hogwarts for her, and she could not wait. She knew she would miss her siblings, but because they were born so close together, she was very excited to know that they would both be with her the next year. She was sorted into Slytherin, and she tried out for the Quidditch team her third year. She wanted to be a Keeper, just like her father. She made the team, and played all the way through her seventh year. She made prefect for Slytherin her 5th-7th years, and had zero interest in becoming Head Girl.
