ShailaConnors (She/Her) is a pure-blood witch. She wields a 11½" Rosewood, Demiguise Hair wand, and a member of the unsorted masses of Hogwarts students just off the train eagerly crowding around the Sorting Hat.

About Me
Dark hair, pale complexion--she's pretty, but a bit of a tomboy when it comes to interests. She tends to keep to herself much of the time, although that doesn't mean she is oblivious to the things going on around her....in fact, she often knows much more than she lets on.

But her mother had simply owled her back with some dismissing phrase such as "You should focus more on your studies than the far-fetched nonsense of a silly hat."

Shaila, being young, had pushed the issue out of her mind for a while. But the older she became, the more the whisperings of the Sorting Hat seemed to haunt her, until she realized that she had to figure out the mystery once and for all. If only she knew where to start....
