Ceilia, here...driving hp5freakcrazy....it's quite funny. :D

Well, let me tell you a little about myself ....

My name is Ceilia Morgana Serafina Star. I was born many moons ago....but not really all that long ago...

I have 2 cats, Aurora and Dusk. They amuse me.

My history is scattered, but also entertaining...

You see, I'm a half-blood....on my mother's side. My mother is Larissa LaRue, a gifted and well-known story-spinner.   My father, bless him, is a muggle through and through. I also have a sister....she too is quite mugglish. Takes after Dad like that.   My father's mother was also a gifted witch, but died far too early in this life.

My mother, Larissa LaRue, grew up in the area we live now. She is from a large family. Many of them possess gifts. Not all are considered magical. When she was young, she discovered her talent for story spinning.   On her rare magical appearances, she wears her Story Spinners outfit, dressed in black cobwebs. The spider represents the story spinner, able to draw out her story in design and draw people to her. She married young and began to make a Muggle life with her husband. But as she became a mother, she realized she could not avoid her natural talents, nor would she ignore those of her daughter.   She began to spin stories as a Muggle storyteller, drawing on her Gypsy heritage, to bring in extra income that living as a Muggle made necessary. Children were expensive after all....

While I am a witch, I was not educated through the magical education system. My parents had 2 children, me and my younger sister. And while I certainly displayed talent early on in life, we chose that I would be schooled at home for my abilities, but in a Muggle school for my....Muggle education. This was for several reasons. My sister did not display magical talent, so my parents and I felt it would be better to avoid a sibling rivalry situation given that my sister would feel left out. I excelled in the Muggle education at Math and English (among others), but not Science and that pleased my father. Also, given that I live in a quite Mugglish area, it would have made it hard to explain where I went without lying. My mother doesn't like lying. Further, my magic lay not in the levitating of items or brewing of potions....it was a natural gift...and one that could hide well in the Muggle world, if I so chose.

As a child, I had difficulty making good friends as I kept my talents a secret. I mean, seriously, once you tell someone you have these abilities, they very likely take advantage of you....and your secret. It was hard...I changed friends often because I felt their betrayal....over little things, and I knew I could not trust them with this secret.

When I was grown, my parents split up. It was then that I began to rebel against my father about hiding my talents. His mother, my grandmother had been a witch after all. Exceptionally gifted, she was lost to us far too soon. I was but a young child, still coming into my own. It is generally accepted by my mother and I that my father tried to suppress my magical talents then....and chose not to recognize them. In fact, it would be over 20 years before he ever acknowledged these gifts I have.

Nowadays, I find that I can expose my gifts...but carefully. I have shared my magic with many, but remain well hidden in my corner of the Muggle world.

I work in a library...taking after my mother. It's a great place to hide out as a Muggle. You can be quirky without seeming TOO weird. And everyday there is fodder for new stories to spin and ideas to work out...

There's probably more to tell, but at this point, you may feel a bit overwhelmed with my life. But I do hope you stick around.

Magically Yours...
