appearance:
Cameron stands at 5′2″ and weighs about 110 lbs. While she is part-veela, she holds many notable traits that have been passed down by her very own veela mother, the blonde locks and perfect skin. With her flawless pale skin presents itself to others upon her slim appearance, she never embrasses it. Cameron has been known to ignore the "assests" her veela mother has given her and embraces that of normality. Cameron's blonde hair is matched with her hazel eyes, something she luckily got from her father. She may be slim but she has muscles that match her athletic personality.
She has her ears pierced twice, she also has her nasal septum pierced but the ring is usually flipped inside her nose when she's at school or sometimes even out. She has a tattoo on her right hand, middle finger of an "X" and a septagram on her right wrist. Cameron also rocks destroyed black nail polish on bitten nails, something her mother hates, as well as make-up free face. Her clothing consists of plaid, it's a canadian thing, and jeans. Because she used to cut her thighs when she was depressed, she usually has them covered with her jeans or long shorts. She's thought about tattooing them once she gets out of Hogwarts in order to hide the scars.

overall personality:
Being the middle child, Cameron, in essence, is like a bunch of other people that are middle children. She is a social being, though sometimes hides behind a shy exterior – however, once you get to know her you’d wish you didn’t. People sometimes believe that she is a wallflower, but she’s not, she’s the most spirited young woman anyone has ever seen. She’s a great team player, which is seen through playing muggle sports around Canada and playing sports while at Ilvermorny. She’s also great when it comes to projects that involve groups because she’s a natural born leader and thrives under the pressure of it all. She’s very cooperative and trusting, making her the best friend that you could ever have. She’s someone that holds independence to the tee, known to think outside the box and not to follow the instructions like some fool; she’s also extremely empathetic.
Cameron is also known as a ‘wiseass’ something that friends likes to call her. Some would even say she’s headstrong and challenges authority, like teachers and stuff, but –Nah she’s totally like that. She is known to be extremely passionate about certain topics and has even protested certain things along her life, like that time she tied herself naked around a tree to stop it from being chopped down, that damn thing was sacred in her mind. She’s also the type of person that doesn’t judge others, which makes her the perfect person to befriend the weird and outcast types. She’s also a total tease and can be pretty brutal when she does it, but she’s nice on the inside.
There was a time in her life when she was depressed, and being the naïve and gullible person that she is, she fell into that depression hard and fast. Because of blame that fell onto her for an accident, she began taking a blade to her thigh. She fell into a dark place for a while before she got help, and is known to lean on people too much. While she doesn’t judge other’s, she takes all judgment upon herself to heart, and it tears her apart. She’s an overachiever and someone that is determined to show her worth, no matter how long it takes. She also believes that she is genuinely hilarious, but others might not see past her dry and morbid humor.

history:
TRIGGER WARNING: depression & self-harm!
Born earlier than expected, Cameron made her grand entrance into the world within the wee hours of the night in the home of Ines and her husband, Arthur. She wasn’t the first to be born to the half-blood family, and she surely wouldn’t be the last, but she was special. The young babe cried as she pushed her way into the world and she was the apple of her father’s eyes from that moment on. Of course, her sister was quite jealous due to being ten at the time of the young child’s birth, but that was to be expected. Raised in France for a few years, Cameron was raised among the wealthy socialites of France at the time and was even raised in the dialect. Of course, due to Arthur being from Canada, she also was raised with English and the type of French that he was raised with.
It wasn’t until Cameron was about five that they returned to Ottawa, Canada where Arthur’s dying mother lived. They returned to take care of the woman and then they just never left, mostly because they had already pulled their oldest daughter out of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and transferred her to Ilvermorny to finish out her last few years. Cameron was such an outcast among the rest of the kids her age, making finding friends difficult. It wasn't until she started Ilvermorny and was sorted into the Pukwudgie house, that slowly people started to become friendly with her. Even some of the kids she knew from home in Ottawa were friendly, but maybe, its because they had to live with her.
However, it was in her second years at Ilvermorny that she learned that her mother was pregnant once more and when she returned for summer break, she already had a baby brother in which they named Arthur Jr. However, his life would be short lived. Because at the age of two, he drowned within the family pool. How had that happened? Well, no one was watching the boy except for Cameron herself, but she had fallen asleep in the kitchen after eating and had woken to screams. At merely the age of fifteen, she had lost her baby brother and had been the result. Of course, her parents in a rage took out their anger and pain on her as they buried her baby brother. At the age of fifteen, she had become a murderer in her parent’s eyes, and it showed.
After that, the depression kicked in as fast and quick as a punch to the gut. She started to fail her classes, got kicked off the sports team at Ilvermorny and had turned to cut her thigh for release. It wasn’t until a year later that she was caught, by her older sister no less, that turned her into her parents. Of course, when her sister returned from England, where she moved after her brother’s death, to surprise the family and take them out for dinner, she had found Cameron in the bathroom with blood on her thighs and a razor in her hand. Cameron was caught but someone she hadn’t seen in almost two years, and thus, their relationship slowly deteriorated. The funny thing was, it shouldn't have happened like that. In her tears, it was Cameron that begged her sister to not tell of what happened that night, to keep it a secret for the time being and Tammy agreed. That should have helped their relationship, not killed it, right? However, her parents, realizing what they had done, sent her away to a clinic for the summer for mental health and she returned with guilt. Sometimes she looks down at her thighs, tracing them for the time being, and remembering that she should have just told someone what she was going through.
However, it was in her sixth year of Ilvermorny, or what would have been her sixth year, that she learned she was being sent to Hogwarts due to the school having been destroyed and deemed uninhabitable. Since Arthur was a businessman in the area, he couldn’t leave, and thus she was thrown on her sister who lived in England. A sister that was unfamiliar to her now, but she didn’t care. They kept mostly to themselves the entire summer, and she enjoyed her time in a new place. And now, the school was starting, and things were going to be incredible.
site events reaction:
Cameron would have been a fourth year at Ilvermorny when the murders at Hogwarts started. However, they were a huge topic among the students and professors. You could practically hear worry that something terrible would happen over here as well. While it didn’t affect her directly, due to not being in London or at Hogwarts at the time, and she didn’t know the people that died – she still felt terrible for their families. And due to cutting at the time, she wasn’t that worried to be quite honest. It was the same thing a year later when the Tri-Wizard Tournament happened and the deaths that followed, she had heard about them and the fear that rocked the wizarding world, but she wasn’t directly affected.
However, the attack on Ilvermorny threw her through a whirlwind, and when her parents decided to send her to Hogwarts, after everything, she felt unnerved. Sure, they were going after muggleborns—something she was not, she still worries about her life. But she’s taking things with a grain of salt and just living her life, praying that she can survive two more years of school before she can get into the action of the real world with her head still firmly attached.
