History: Dean and Laura knew each other since they were children. The Larsens had always lived in mixed neighborhoods, and fit in without much trouble, and Laura's family lived nearby. Dean went away to school and only saw her in the summers, but it wasn't until after graduation they realized how close they had grown. She was furious when he told her he was a wizard at first, feeling slightly betrayed and more afraid than she would admit, but when she calmed down she realized how many things made sense.
They were married a few years later, and soon Sam was born, followed by Selina. Their youngest sister joined them a few years later. Selina and her siblings were raised in a mixed community, where many wizarding families are in close proximity to muggles. Selina was instantly a explorer, observer and loved following her big brother around, using him as her safety net. At first he didn’t mind, but was discouraged by her company when she started messing with his ‘projects’ and getting him in trouble. She never did them on purpose, but it was sometimes funny to see him out of sorts.
When Selina turned 7, her younger sister fell and broke her ankle and she tried her best to comfort her while it was being magically repaired. It was difficult to concentrate when the smallest Larson was in pain, and Selina couldn’t help but feel terrible when her sister weeped. Since then, her family remembers Selina being the most comforting and involved when someone is sick, sad or injured.

Economic Status: Lower Middle Class
Personality Description: Selina is a sweet-natured girl who a fan of violin music. She plays a little but doesn’t think she is very good. A natural worrier, she has always been the most sensitive of the Larsen children. Selina is easily swayed by her family's emotions, even if they are not toward her. They are all under the impression it is because she the sweetest of all of them, and has build special relationships with each of her family members.
The second born Larsen is caring and understanding, and open hearing everyone’s side of the story, looking for the light in the tunnel, leading to the happy ending. She is a quiet observer who comments and laughs at strange things people usually don’t notice. She is encouraging to others, though lacking in self esteem at times. She is less sure of herself when she senses the strong emotions of those close to her, which seems to be happening more frequently since she started attending Hogwarts.
Despite her gentle nature, there is always a passionate side that is nurtured when she needs to defend herself or others. While she has only ever argued with her siblings before, she is finding that there are reasons why she would greatly disagree with others as well.
Physical Description: Selina looks very much like her older brother, with similar complexion and hair color. Her milky complexion stands out from her long, dark locks that usually flow behind her as she walks quickly to keep up. While worried, Selina keeps her hands occupied by fiddling with her hair in various versions of braids, or anything that needs twisting or untwisting. Even when not worried, Selina has a hard time from keeping still.

RP Example:
Dear Daddy,
Today I’ve been feeling strange again. It started at breakfast when I was eating with Sam. I could tell he was having a good morning after talking to his Gryffindor friend. I think he likes her hair. Anyway, he was smiling and I asked him if it was the same girl that had broken her arm and came to our house that summer, and he was suddenly very cross with me. Well, I got mad with him too and we started shouting at each other…”
Selina had put her quill down and wiped the tear her message had conjured. Dwelling on her argument with her brother made her upset, but for some reason she remembered feeling so much angrier at the moment. And embarrassed. She loved her brother very much, and she knew that he loved her as well, but sometimes he was so mean to her! Selina felt her heart beating faster as she remembered how he had told her to mind her business. She was saved when her kitty Bub jumped onto her desk and meowed gently, curling up on her letter and offering his head for Selina to rub. Appreciating the offer, Selina rubbed the spot between Bub’s ears and felt herself calm down almost instantly. Bub was her best friend and he always seemed to make things better. She was convinced he was also magical, because he suddently knew when she was feeling better and jumped off the desk to go exploring again. Dipping her quill into the ink, Selina needed to add to her letter and make sure her dad didn’t tell her mum about her feeling weird again. Her mum was a worrier just like her.
