Personality:

[ Loyal | Straightforward | Patient | Daring | Witty | Friendly | Slacker | bit of a trouble maker]

Sorting Paige into a house was a bit diffucult, she displayed traits for a few of the houses, she herself felt more suited to Hufflepuff though.  Paige is loyal to those she calls friends and even more so to those she calls her house family(as well as real family like her sister and family back home).  She's straightforward to the point of being blunt at times, she struggles to lie(to friends, teachers are another story) so what you see, is what you get with her and you should know where you stand with her.  She's very patient, she can sit and wait for a flower to grow and watch paint dry if that's what she's asked to do, she loses track of time sometimes.  She has a daring streak to her, rather opting to doing something crazy than sticking to the saver route.  She is witty and enjoys friendly banter with others, specially talking back to some of the Slytherin, she knows her way around words.  She's friendly and would try her very best to help a friend in need.  Though she's a world class slacker when it comes to house work, chores and homework.   She enjoys adventure and unwittingly getting into trouble, thus making her a bit of a trouble maker.

History:

Background and parents - Paige was born the second child of a muggle father and a witch, though her father never knew of her mother’s magical past.  They live on a plot of land just outside Burgess Hill near Brighton which Acacia and Hazel inherited from an uncle.  There the family runs a nursery and tea garden/coffee garden.  The big house on the plot of land used to belong to the Finkly sisters’ uncle Mortimer.  Back then their surname was Foster, and they were a fairly happy family.  

Growing up - The family was pretty happy until one day after dinner.  Peter was washing the dishes with his father while his mother was taking care of little 3 year old Paige.  Peter’s father was handing a dish over to Peter when suddenly the plate fell to the ground, though it didn’t crash and break as expected, it actually softly floated back to the ground, not smashing.  Now their dad always suspected something was strange about the family he married into, so when he saw this with his own eyes he asked Acacia about it and she had to come clean with her family’s magical secret.  
Their father couldn’t handle the news and the lies and so asked for a divorce(lots of things went on behind the scenes, this event was just the straw that broke the camel’s back).  He left the family’s lives when Paige was 3 so she never really got to know her father, since he didn’t want to have anything to do with them after he left.  Acacia’s sister, Hazel, moved in with the Foster to Finkly family and together the sister witches raised the kids.  
While growing up Paige was the more free-spirited one of the two and usually got her brother in trouble, her brother took on the role of the man in the house and took much of the responsibility over his sister.
When Paige(around 9 at the time) went exploring their plot once, a stray dog attacked her, but lucky for her, her brother rescued her and got her back home where her mother treated her few small cuts/bite wounds.  Since then she's been afraid of dogs.

Getting her letter - Peter received his letter and left for Hogwarts and getting all his things and seeing him off with her aunt and mother, was Paige’s first introduction with world of magic as they grew up pretty much like any normal kid.  So when Paige received her letter and went to get all her things, she was already familiar with the way it was done and she had her brother for help.  She had it pretty easily.

First year at Hogwarts - Paige's first year at Hogwarts was pretty uneventful, she blew up a few potions and went by surviving.  She nursed her cat to health and found in him her best friend, she bugged her brother a lot and enjoyed meeting and watching the ghosts at the new school.

Second year and on - She plans on meeting more people and making some close friends and see if she can stay awake in her classes.
