ISIS lavinia SHAFIQ

Isis Lavinia Shafiq
Seventeen -- Pureblood -- Ruthless -- Strategical -- Determined

Her mother was weak and her father weaker. They were two pureblooded persons and yet they never acted it. They gave her a dull name and a dull life, never with anything special. It wasn’t until Alison Ruth Shafiq was in Hogwarts that she realised how precious her blood was. There were so few true purebloods left that Alison became ashamed of her parents. They had given her a dull, muggle sounding name and hidden from her all her life just what it was to be pureblooded. Her father’s parents were deemed old and crazy for so much of Ali’s life but she discovered tat they were speaking truths.

Ali’s grandparents were pureblood extremists that they rarely ever saw. After the age of eight Ali didn’t see them until she sought them out by herself when she was fourteen. She moved in with them under claims that her parents were psychologically abusive, while it was never determined that her parents were psychologically abusive it was decided for the sake of Ali that she live with her grandparents, though the psychological abuse would have explained why it seemed that she had ‘run away’ a lot in her childhood. Legally Ali had her name changed to anything she wanted. She chose Isis for herself for her love of Egyptian mythology and the mighty Gods and Goddesses and she chose her middle name after her grandmother for taking her in. Legally now the girl that was born Alison Ruth Shafiq became Isis Lavinia Shafiq.

Isis has always a smart girl and ruthless to boot, she always got what she wanted through any means. She applies herself to whatever task she sets before her and she goes at it with all she is and all she has. There is nothing that can hold Isis back. She is ruthless, smart and damn near psychotic. Her grandparents take the utmost pride in their only grandchild who they plan on marrying off to a pureblooded male only he will be expected to take her name, after all, the Shafiq name in the wizarding world is a great and pure one, one of the still purist bloodlines you could ever find.

Isis’ father was nearly disowned when he ran off with a muggleborn witch. He was eighteen and she seventeen. They married and the girl fell pregnant. In most pureblooded families the male would have been disowned and had they another son perhaps that was what would have happened, however Isis’ father was an only child like herself and Lavinia and Vetranis Shafiq were not so accommodating to their son’s desires. The muggleborn witch and child were killed while she was in her final trimester by a band of thieves invading the family’s muggle home. With no one else to turn to Armenius returned to his parents. He had his suspicions that his parents were behind the act but believed that not even they could be capable of such a heinous crime that would harm a woman with child, his child, but Armenius did not know his parents as well as he thought. He always believed that beneath their thoughts on pureblood remaining pure they were only talk, never action.

Her father was pushed towards a pureblooded woman whom his parents approved of. The two were married within three years and Isis came along after that. The pureblooded marriage was strained for the four and a half years until Aureliana, pregnant with their daughter, admitted that she was not as into the pureblood extremity as first seemed. Her parents pushed her into the marriage and had strong thoughts on pureblood staying pure but she held other values, she believed in love no matter what your blood was. During the time Isis harboured in her mother’s uterus her parents fell in love, something her father had never thought he would ever do again. Despite the fact that her parents were in love with one another and in love with what would be their only child, Isis did not grow up the way she intended. She had a mean and determined streak to alway get what she wanted. At the age of three she held her breath until she passed out. At six she ripped all the heads off her dolls and teddies because her parents didn’t buy her the right one for her birthday, she didn’t care that all her ‘friends’ were stood around, watching her melt down. At eight she dragged the neighbours baby through the gardens by its leg. It screamed and the parents got to the baby before any serious damage had occurred, still her parents had to pack up and move as swiftly as possible. Isis had not liked someone else getting more attention than her. She had planned on dropping the infant in the fountain and regrets not having carried the thing out. It’s death would’t have mattered, it was only a silly muggle child, but those were not the worst things she had done, not by a long shot.

Over the course of her childhood Isis had many out bursts, each dramatic in their own way and mentally exhausting to her parents who believed it was just a phase she was going through, a long, drawn out phase. Eventually the time for school came and she was accepted to Hogwarts. Her magical abilities had been quite clear from around the age of seven, a late bloomer yes but a mighty powerful one. Sadly Armenius and Aureliana were not able to control their child’s use of magic once she realised she could get things to happen with her mind, once she realised that there was no stopping her Isis would disappear from her family home, taking to the streets whenever she pleased, knowing she could always find her own way home with a magical ball of light, though her parents had reported her missing on a number of occasions and this was what helped Isis in her claim that her parents were mentally abusive.

At Hogwarts Isis was sorted into Ravenclaw. She had a wicked sharp mind, she was on a quest for knowledge of spells, plants and anything even remotely magical. She learnt all about purebloods and the impact they had once had on the wizarding world, she learnt all kinds of things that made her furious to the core of her very being. She should have been worshipped in that godforsaken hell of a school for her blood was of the purist but she did not stay bitter for long, she made a plan. She focused on creating her own Utopia where she would rule. She is determined to reach her goal, she believes she will create her worldly Utopia, free of muggles and where lesser blood wizards would fight to the death for her entertainment, she would hunt those lesser beings and she would make everyone bow before her. She would be their new Goddess.

Willing to pay pretty much any amount for people that will support her cause Isis is helping a boy in her year find his squib twin. Isis supports families keeping their squibs. Despite being squibs they are still carriers of the purist blood and Isis is positive that with the right amount of money in the right areas, a cure for Squibism will be found and will enable purebloods to cure their squib children rather than being ashamed by their lack of magical abilities.
