• Description:
  Sanders has been growing considerably as of late, and resembles a lumpy beanpole, as she likes to say.
  
  Most noticeable are her elbows and fingers. The former being rather pointy, and the latter being rather long. She also thinks her ears stick out too much, and that her freckles are threatening to take over her face.
  
  She has nightmares about acne, but as of yet, still has her Father's marvelously clear complexion.
  
  Her pureblood heritage gave her beautiful auburn hair, and dark, black eyes, but thankfully, her Father's genes came into play so that she has his wavy mop instead of tightly curled springs.
  
  A bit self-conscious about her body, Sanders likes to wear circus tents, and the like. She's taken to the Hogwarts robes swimmingly.

Personality

• Summary:
  Serious, Introverted, Awkward, Thrill-seeker
  
• In-depth:
  Sanders mostly thinks about herself. She isn't selfish, but the situation of her homelife, and her parents' recent divorce forced her to re-evaluate her view of the world, and her place within it.
  
  If her parents could break up, what else could? Friendship? Could she take her home for granted? Could she take anything for granted anymore? She tends to dwell on these questions quite often, and as a result comes across as a very serious, even pessimistic person.
  
  But she does try to reach out to other people. She isn't comfortable talking about her problems with other people, but being with friends, trying to have fun, means a lot to Sanders. She can come across as awkward in conversation, as she sometimes becomes torn between saying something to make the other person like her, or saying how she really feels.
  
  Seeming almost is stark contrast to the rest of her personality, Sanders is quite the thrill-seeker. She doesn't do any stunts to impress other students, rather she tries to make up for having such a bad home-life by packing as much excitement into her time at Hogwarts as possible. She also tries to prove to herself, in a way, that she's better than her parents, that she can commit herself to something, even if it's dangerous and scary.

History
