hello there, my name is halcyon selwyn but you can call me hali. i'm 25 so that makes me a graduate at Hogwarts, where I resided in slytherin house.

Halcyon is your typical Pureblood 'Princess'. She grew up in a large mansion, with servants catering to her every need. She always got what she wanted, no matter how expensive it might be. Spoiled absolutely rotten, but she isn't a brat about it. Instead, she is very soft spoken, elegant and poised, very much a proper woman. When she interacts with people she comes across as charming, civil, and quiet. She never uses foul language, never raises her voice in anger, never acts in any way that might reflect poorly on herself. The perfect little Princess.
Despite being so proper, and polite, she has an almost unnatural ability to go without being noticed when she wants. She just knows how to avoid being remembered. Seen, but never heard. Almost like a pretty wall ornament, there simply for decoration. People just never seem to remember her, unless she wants them too. Whether that be by simply being over looked, or forcing the individuals to forget her.
She is very manipulative and will do anything to ensure that she come out on top. But, she isn't one to get her hands dirty. Instead she prefers to to pull the strings from the shadows, forcing others (usually through magical means) to do her bidding while she sits back and watches.
If you gain her respect and trust, she will follow you to the ends of the earth. Her loyalty is hard to win though, only those who have proven themselves worthy will ever win her fealty. To be honest, she's a bit like a dog in that sense. But only those of worthy bloodline are even eligible to 'win' her loyalty. And not just Purebloods. She is a Selwyn, a member of one of he Sacred 28 Families. And she is a Hong, an ancient Pureblood family from China with a terrifying and powerful legacy. To her, there is more then just 'Pureblood, half blood, and muggleborn'. She is totally and completely convinced that even most Purebloods are beneath her.

history:
Halcyon's story begins long before her birth, and you'll never understand who she is until you understand her families.
The Hong family. A Chinese family of purebloods that can trace their genealogy back hundreds of years. This pureblood family had close ties to many of the major events that shaped China's history. They'd been seers, soothsayers, court magicians, and advisers to many Emperors. Their presence wasn't a sign of prosperity though. It led to chaos and war. You see, this family has a... special talent. They are unusually gifted when it comes to navigating and manipulating the mind. They'd twist the minds of those around them to do their bidding... (hence why their presence usually ended in bloodshed...) This blood supremacist family has always felt all non magical beings as beneath them, and are simply tools to be used. Tradition is very important to this family, but carrying on that tradition even more so.
The Selwyn family. Members of the Sacred 28. An old, powerful, and wealthy Pureblood family in Great Britain.During the first Wizarding War, they sided with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Though their support was never proven after the war, like many Pureblood families they were heavily suspected for being involved. Their son at the time, a young man by the name of Aaron, had been a Death eater, but thankfully flew under the radar like many other Purebloods at the time.
After the War, Aaron worked for the Ministry for many years in the Department of International Magical Cooperation. As part of his work, he traveled the world, acting as a liaison with other Magical governments. In particular, he worked closely with the Chinese government. That was where he met Junjie Hong. Over the years, he developed a strong friendship with the older man, and the man's family. He had a daughter, by the name of Bingbing, a charming, and bright girl. She was ten years younger then him, but there was just something about her. Wisdom beyond her years. When she was 18, he asked her father for her hand in marriage, and he agreed. Only a few short months later and they were married, and Bingbing returned to Great Britain with her new husband.
Then, the second War began. Halcyon and her twin sister were born in the middle of the war. Her father had returned to follow the Dark Lord, leaving his wife home alone for the majority of the pregnancy and the first few months of the girls' lives. Halcyon has no memories of her father because he was killed in the Battle at Hogwarts. A month after his death, her mother discovered she was pregnant.
With the war over, two infant daughters, and a son on the way, Bingbing returned to China for a time, seeking her family's assistance as she grieved the loss of her husband and pieced together her life. Halcyon's brother was born in China several months later. Four years the small family remained in China... Until Bingbing fell deathly ill and passed away.
Halcyon's life from that point on was almost a juggling act. She'd spend several months in Great Britain with her Selwyn grandparents, and then several months in China with her Hong grandparents. Basically a balancing act between both sides of her family with her two siblings.
From a young age it was obvious that Halcyon showed many of the prized characteristics of the Hong family. A strong mind, a talent in manipulation, and when she started to show signs of magic a talent for infiltrating other's minds. She spent hours using the Hong heirloom pensieve, scouring through hundreds of memories her family had collected. Studying. Learning.
When the twins turned 11, the families were pressed with a challenge. Where would they go to school. The Selwyns, of course, wanted Hogwarts, while the Hongs preferred home schooling. Eventually it was decided that it'd be best for the girls to attend Hogwarts and socialize with other children their age, something they hadn't done much growing up. They'd had servants, and their grandparents, but no children.
Halcyon was sorted into Slytherin upon her arrival at Hogwarts. Over the next seven years she did well in school, but made few friends. After graduation she went on to work at the Ministry in the Department of Mysteries.
Last year, and everything changed. The murders were all over the news. Halcyon recognized it for what it was. History was repeating itself. Lines were being drawn, and she knew what side she was on. She set out to discover the source of the murders, to see if they might prove worthy for this cause...
