hello there, my name is liona zabini but you can call me liona is just fine. i'm seventeen so that makes me a seventh year at Hogwarts, where I reside in slytherin house. You could say I'm ambitious, cunning and resourceful but I personally think that I am realistic, reserved, and invincible. People say I look a lot like zoe kravitz, but I don't really see it...

appearance:
Liona is just on the cusp of average height, standing at 5ft 4 1/2 in. She most notably wears her hair in braids (much like her pb) though most of the time she will pull her braids up into a bun (or two depending on how she feels). She loves makeup and although she could do a full face no problem with a flick of her wand, she mostly just sticks with eyeliner and lipstick because its professional and still cute. When it comes to fashion, you won't ever catch Liona in a pair of jeans or even shorts really due to the fact that her mother and father had forbade her from wearing them as they were 'too casual' and 'sloppy' looking. She is very fond of dresses, dress robes and skirts. How can you go wrong with those? You always have to be prepared to make your best impression.

erised:
Liona wants to be powerful one day. She wants to be able to influence what's going on in the magical (and muggle if necessary) world with just a speech or even a nod of her head. Now whether that may lead her to becoming a high ranked official in the Ministry of Magic (maybe even the Minister) or a celebrity (because we all know that celebrities have a huge impact on the world), she isn't quite sure yet. She just knows that she is going to be someone, much bigger than either her mother or her father.
amortentia:
Mint
Fresh parchment
Pineapples
Lavender
Chai
boggart:
Her boggart usually appears in either one of two forms. The first surrounds her in a box and slowly closes in around her, trapping her into its nothingness. She hates being trapped and put in boxes, literally and figuratively, though being trapped in a small place anywhere in any way terrifies her. Her other fear is being made to bow down and serve some crazed overlord. Pureblood or not she bows and/or serves no one.
overall personality:
Liona could possibly be considered your average elite pureblooded family daughter. She can come off as arrogant in many situations. She was raised on impeccable social etiquette so you won't catch her committing any social faux pas, unless a situation just screams for it. She wasn't raised on hate specifically geared towards muggleborns, instead just raised to know that everyone was beneath you, so her dislike for others is spread pretty evenly amongst purebloods and non-purebloods when it comes to the existence of incompetence in others.
Liona is a very realistic person, arrogant as she may be. She's not afraid to admit (to herself) when a situation is not fit for her or when something isn't going her way. Instead of giving up, she finds someone who can handle it for her. She can be a bit of a social climber, being kind or talkative to others just to get in their good graces if they could be of some use to her later on. Getting close to others when she needs them requires her to be thoughtful, sometimes even unintentionally. You mentioned that your pet cat at home was sick that one time she spoke to you? You can probably count on her bringing you flowers and offering your cat get well wishes the next time she sees you. Mention your favorite candy? She might have it next time you see her.
On the other hand, Liona is intelligent. She isn't top of the class or anything like that but she could definitely go toe to toe with many of the Ravenclaws. She is very curious in nature and incredibly observant. She loves secrets and gossip, though not necessarily one to spread information around. She just likes knowing who's who and what's going on with everyone. You know, for future references in case something like that needs to come up.
Overall, Liona is just a girl out to be on top of the world, regardless of what others do.

history:
Liona Annaliese Zabini was born to Blaise and Daphne Zabini in a birth that been completely planned from top to bottom. They'd chosen the perfect month to conceive and the exact date that had wanted their precious child born. The only thing they didn't quite count on was having a girl be the first born. As a wealthy inner circle Pureblooded family, it was traditional that the male child be first born as to become heir to the House. What they got instead was a beautiful baby girl. Though Blaise was a little disappointed at first, he couldn't contain his pride for the first of the next generation of Zabinis. Not much later her younger brother came about and added to the little family.
That's where the happy passion ended for the most part. With her father working endlessly as an obliviator and her mother, a famous actress in her prime, having to travel and be away for weeks on end, Liona mostly grew up surrounded by nannies and house elves. There wasn't a lot of love to be shown by the nannies either when your parents were powerful purebloods. With one misstep they were out of the door so most nannies did what they were told, not getting too close to Liona. Any interactions she had with her parents were short, lasting no longer than an hour or two. With her mother, they were sweet and short "hi" and "bye" moments. Her mother would kiss her on the forehead and be out the door to film another award winning masterpiece. With her father, seeing him was more like a business meeting or a performance review. He would appraise her and demand of the nanny how she was developing, if she had shown signs of magic yet. Once he had his answer, he would nod, pat her on the head and then back to his study he would retreat.
When Liona started showing signs of magic, there was a little buzz of excitement around the house. Liona had been indifferent to the signs until her Dad smiled at her after seeing them. This spiked her curious nature and she tried hard every chance that she got to force the magic out of her body on any willing and unwilling object. She willed this to move, willed them to fly, even will them to change colors to her liking. For the most part though her magic was unpredictable but she always tried.
When she came of age and her letter to Hogwarts showed up on their doorsteps, excitement buzzed once again in the House of Zabini. Of course her parents only got the best for her for school but it wasn't a big shopping adventure like she wished it could have been. She didn't get to pick anything for herself. She got only what they deemed the things that were best for her in their eyes. She did, however, enjoy the stories her mother would occasionally share about her time at Hogwarts so overall she was excited about starting school. The day she was set to leave for Hogwarts on the Express was one of her favorite memories. Both her father and mother had taken the day off to take her to the platform and see her off. Her parents had both given her a hug, her father specifically saying that he knew she was going to make him proud which made her face light up with a smile.
Liona's first year at Hogwarts was interesting to say the least. She was sorted into Slytherin, the house she knew her parents were both natives of. She'd already known some people or had become friends with some because they recognized her last name as she recognized theirs. Every connection she made was superficial though. Was this how it was supposed to be? People networked more than made connections with one another and it was an interesting sight to see. You would think that because they were kids that things would be a little bit more fun. She thought only her own home seemed a little bit cold, reasonably so as her father and mother worked a ton, but this was how the world really was? She began to accept her reality a little bit more then, seeing that only people wanted you when you popular or had money or had something more. She wanted to be more. She began courting her house mates, winning them over with charm. This is how she decided to carry on.
When news first broke of the death of Kingsley Shacklebolt, Liona has been surprised to say the least. It hadn't even been a summer since she had begged her father to take her to meet him, though he'd told her he couldn't promise anything. If she could network with him, she would be able to set a course of action that possible could have lead to her having a high ranked position in the ministry once she graduated from Hogwarts. It did put a wrench in her plans, and it was kind of sad the way he died. Once Victoire Weasley was instated as the new Minister, Liona felt a little bit of jealousy. No matter though. She knew power like that would be hers someday.
After the attack on Hogwarts, Liona was a little worried at the direction the world had been going. She'd heard many of the stories from her mother regarding the previous Dark Lord and the blood purists. She'd heard throughout the school before the attacks on Hogwarts that there was an uprising happening and she'd really wanted to believe that it was just hearsay. She knew better than that though. She didn't want to involve her self in the Purifiers and their war but she knew it was only a matter of time before she would have to pick a side or she would have to make herself invisible.
Now in her seventh Liona is preparing for graduation as well as questioning how she fits into the scheme of things once the war hits. There is no doubt in her mind that a war is coming. She just hopes she will be able to make the right decisions for herself.
