Amazingly enough.<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong><br/>The first thing people tend to notice, is well. Stevie to put it bluntly is puny, standing a mere 4'11 inches. She has naturally tanned skin, with a set of deep dark chocolate brown eyes, when not changing her hair color, it is naturally a dark brown. Being on the slender side, Stevie has grown into a lovely young girl over the years. Having been all scrawny until about a year ago, when suddenly the young girl seemed to blossom over night.  She has a mixed heritage, with her Asian ancestry presenting itself in the shape of her eyes and her small features . She has a nice slightly C shaped scar near her left eye, a reminder of her first time on a broom. ( and the poor tree she smacked into)<br/><br/>It is true, that from the moment she was born it was apparent that she was gifted. Within the first hour of life, her hair rapidly shifted from black to blonde, to red and every other color in between. With a little bit of concentration, and a scrunched up nose she can change herself to look however she wants. Freakishly tall? No problem, Blonde? bring it on. Honestly though, Stevie tends to keep her own face, simply switching up hairstyles, colors and other minor details when the mood strikes her. Leaving the more dazzling displays of her gift for special moments.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>On the surface, she seems to be an open book, but she doesn't just let anyone in, and is a more complex individual then some people might think, Stevie has a firecracker temper and sadly, is fairly easy to tick of, she's also a terrible at lying. Stevie is definitely something else, she's the kind of girl who marches to her own beat, and takes nothing from anyone.<br/><br/>Stevie has a 'childish' streak, She tends to treat most situations as a joke, and can usually find humor even in the darkest moment. A lot of this behavior is because she hates dealing with problems, and will often procrastinate, or out-right try and ignore their existence if she can get away with it. Stubborn, and the kind of girl who is fiercely loyal to her friends, Stevie can easily be your best bud forever, or she could be the girl who dreams up creative ways to get vengeance, all the while smiling quite happily in your direction.<br/><br/>But while she can be a vengeful little thing, Stevie isn't really a dark person, and will never intentionally seriously hurt another person. Mostly she'll stick to shouting, rude hand gestures and humiliation. Extremely adventurous, Stevie loves to explore the castle, and just about anywhere else she can get too. Which has led to some very interesting situations in the past. While she does have brains, don't expect her to sit still long enough to actually pay attention to any lecture.<br/><br/><strong>Background: </strong><br/>Stevie wasn't really aware of the magical world, or that she was indeed a real life witch until she was much older and sort of figured it out for herself. Well, the fact that she was different anyway. Stevie's mom Kiki is very much a muggle. Her mother stubbornly refused to acknowledge her daughters 'unusual' talents.  And has treated Stevie as if she were a ticking time bomb since birth. Something that has always hurt and bothered her, although she's never really said it to her mother.<br/><br/>Which always made Stevie wonder...just how the heck had her parents hooked up? Well, as she later found out. Her mom had went through a 'wild' phase, which meant that her mom had went on vacation with some friends over to England, had a couple of drinks, met a rather unusual but dashing man and it was one of those nights, you revisit alone in the dark with a big stupid grin on your face. When Stevie's mom found out the truth about him, her mother had freaked out and left without another word, hoped back on a plane out to New Jersey and never looked back. But her mother's method of dealing with something, the whole if she ignored it long enough, it would just go away. Well, it never quite worked with Stevie. Whom from the very beginning seemed determined to torment her mother ( not intentionally.. okay maybe just a little bit) by being well different. Phone calls from school about her bright blue hair one day, to concern about why a child should be wearing contacts that had made her eyes a brilliant orange. Over the years, whenever something unexpected or hard to explain happened around Stevie, her mother would pack them up and move. Kiki would sit her young child down and urge her to try really hard not to be different from everyone else. But as much as she tried ( which wasn't all that hard after a few years) Stevie just couldn't fit into her mother's image of what she should be.<br/><br/>( Much to her mothers everlasting horror, Stevie once impersonated her aunt Vicky when she was just ten years old.)<br/><br/>Stevie began to 'rebel' against her mothers wishes, she embraced her freaky talent, and would find little ways to constantly remind her mother that she wasn't just some regular kid, forcing her mom to face the facts and hopefully see her.<em>Really,</em>see her. It became more then either of them could handle. Especially when a new husband entered the picture, and her mother wanted nothing more then to have a perfectly normal little family. A shouting match, followed by a lot of begging on Stevie's part. And Kiki got back in touch with the dashing stranger she'd met nearly twelve years ago. Stevie was on the next plane over to England, after an awkward farewell with her mother.That was when Steve finally met her father, Liam Arai. He worked for what she would come to understand was the Ministry of Magic as an auror, someone who hunted down dark witches and wizards. While things in her new home were weird, Stevie quickly took to her new world, finding out her 'weirdness' was actually an inherited trait that was rather rare among her kind. Apparently it hadn't been seen in her family since her quirky, great grandfather Toshio had passed on.<br/><br/>But what she hadn't counted on what walking into yet another weird family situation. Her father comes from a pure-blood line, but are widely known as 'Blood Traitors' The Arai's originally from Japan, but have been in England for several generations. And while the blood has stayed pure, up until Stevie was born. The Arai family ( most of them) were actively working against Voldemort and his minions. Not only that, most of them, including Arai;s Auror father Liam, seem almost fond of muggles. The Arai's seem to have different skills and goals in life, a few working for the Ministry, some working with Dragons, others as teachers and a few years back, a cousin of Stevies played professional Quidditch.<br/><br/>So on top of being from a muggle household, Stevie gets to contend with big-headed fools who look down upon her because of who her parents are. While this bothers her on a deep level, she tries not to show it on the surface, smiling brightly when others scowl in her direction. Despite having lived with other wizards and witches for some time now, the muggle-ness hasn't quite vanished. Stevie still heads over to the normal part of the world, buys CD's made by muggle artists, watches muggle television shows and is not scared to show off her pictures from when she was a kid. Pictures that are frozen.<br/><br/>She was enrolled in Hogwarts, and she quickly took an interest in not only the world, but the most popular sport in the wizarding world Quidditch. From the moment she first rode on a broom, Stevie was addicted to the rush that came from soaring high in the sky, chasing other players around the arena. She has two positions she favors, Seeker and Beater. Because frankly what is more fun then hide and seek on a broom, or actually being encouraged to wack a heavy object at other people.<br/><hr/><br/>Interesting Fact: Stevie has strong ambitions to one day become a professional Quidditch player. Also, if she starts mumbling things in Japanese, you know your in trouble.<br/><br/>Wand: Ebony Wood, with a phoenix feather. it's 10 inches, so a fairly short wand.<br/><br/>Pet: A  little white and tan rat named Baba Yaga.
