Though it is known that the blood within her is of the Siren race.<br/><br/>Annabelle was the only child of Dimitri and Celeste Delacroix. Celeste had also come from a long line of Sirens. Over time, the Sirens began to adapt to living on land as well as in the water. They found that there were ample opportunities to lure men into their clutches on land as well. Celeste had lured Dimitri with her Siren's call. But instead of luring him to his death, Celeste fell in love with him. She left her fellow Sirens, much to their disgust, and chose to have a life with Dimitri.<br/><br/>It was expected that Annabelle would be a girl, as the odds of Sirens giving birth to male babies are abysmally low. When Annabelle was a young girl, her parents were quite surprised to find out that she had magical abilities other than what her Siren blood bestowed to her. Only when Dimitri did some research into his family tree, did they discover that he had descended from a line of witches and wizards. Though the magical abilities laid dormant within the bloodline for five generations, and finally resurfaced in Annabelle.<br/><br/>When she was sixteen, she was accepted into Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. Her parents were just as excited as she was. After all, it was the most revered magic school in France. During her time at Beauxbatons, she excelled in the choir elective and herbology class. She believes her Siren blood had something to do with it.<br/><br/>After seven happy years at Beauxbatons, Annabelle graduated. She had once been Prefect and Head Girl of Papillonlisse Mansion. After she graduated, she worked as a herbologist/healer. She owned a successful shop in Beauxbatons Village, (Siren's Touch - Healing & Herbs) which is still open today. Though she no longer owns it (after her father's death, she spent a long time at home with her mother), she still visits frequently.<br/><br/>When Annabelle heard that Beauxbatons would need a new Headmistress, she applied immediately; and with fourteen letters of recommendation. She was completely surprised when she was accepted. That was seven years ago, and she and her mother have been happy ever since.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Passionate students and teachers, reading, dancing, singing<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Laziness, excuses, liars, unnecessary confrontation, blood status discrimination<br/><br/><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong>Persephone325</strong></span></div>
