⌊ History ⌉

( childhood ) Born and raised in the Swiss Alps, Gaëlle grew up sequestered away from most people -- and despite all the wealth and comfort, it kinda sucked. Gaëlle is a talker, an extrovert, and living alone with nothing but snow around for miles tended to get a bit, well, lonesome. To make matters worse, her parents were seldom around due to the nature of their jobs, It did, however, get better after the birth of her sister. The two grew up thick as thieves despite their differences and when it was time for Gaëlle to go off to Beauxbatons, it was tough, but the two they'd see each-other soon. After-all, there was Albrecht blood in her sister's veins; no way in hell she wouldn't be a powerful witch.
( adolescence ) Gaëlle fell in love with Beauxbatons after her first term, the stories her parents had delighted her with not coming to close to describe the beauty and the atmosphere surrounding the magnificent school. As the years went by, it was obvious Gaëlle would be a strong witch; she excelled in almost all of her classes -- the exception being Potions -- and was a strong Quidditch player, never succumbing to her nerves. Gaëlle's sister came to Beauxbatons in her third year, but the bond they once shared began to change as her sister was sorted into Ombrelune. It wasn't that the two no longer loved each-other, just that they were going their separate ways. And now that Gaëlle is in her last year at Beauxbatons, she's prepared to make it the best one yet.
