physical
[/i][/size][/left]physical appearance[/i]
A good height of 5'7, Tersha is tall and curvaceous, with an hourglass figure and a healthy build. She has never been one of those girls who is stick thin, as she thinks they look ill and it's just not worth starving yourself. Tersha loves her food, so she's always going to have a bit of meat on her bones. She is strong, and toned, with legs that seem to go on forever. Her skin is always golden, and she is only ever seen to be pale when she's sick, though even then, she will pile fake tan on, to pretend she isn't.
Her face is perfectly heart-shaped, and particularly gorgeous, to be honest. A dark beauty if ever there was one, Tersha attracts far too much attention from guys, just with her looks. She has beautiful lips, always a darker shade, without the aid of makeup, and her smile is so big, it's practically blinding, and can only be described as "mega-watt". It is definitely her most notable feature. She has sculpted cheekbones, a small, neat nose, with a straight profile, and huge dark chocolate eyes, which are often wide and expressive. Her eyebrows are dark brown, and plucked to perfection, arching gently across her forehead. Her hair is the same shade of dark, chocolate brown, and it is ridiculously thick. There is so much of it, it verges on outrageous. It has a light wave to it, naturally, which she sometimes leaves in, or strengthens with curlers, but a lot of the time, she straightens it, so it falls in a sheet of thick silk down to her shoulder blades. She has Cherokee heritage, so it's really no surprise that she looks as dark and beautiful as she does.

erised[/i]

boggart[/i]
Losing her status that she has worked so hard to build up at school. Being alone for the rest of her life. Being unloved.
dementor[/i]
Tersha's parents once went away on holiday without her. She (as is now the norm), was left with the housekeeping staff for two weeks, and they didn't even send her an owl to see if she was ok. She was five at the time, and it was the beginning of a new routine for them, and became something that they did on a regular basis, cutting her off. It kills her to even think about it.
patronus[/i]
Polar Bear. Tersha's happiest memory is the day she got to finally go to Hogwarts. Not for any of the usual, exciting reasons other kids have, but because she finally got to be somewhere she felt like she belonged. Instead of being at home, raised by a nanny and whoever else worked for her parents, she got to be at the castle, making her own way in life, with actual friends and people she could form bonds with.
overall personality[/i]
Tersha Knight is a force to be reckoned with. She is impossible to ignore, and almost as impossible to deny. She is confident, bossy, charismatic, flirtatious, charming, ambitious, and a complete bitch. Yes, most of the qualities that are visible on the surface are bad ones, unfortunately. She is bitchy and has a seriously sharp tongue. She won't hesitate to tell you what she thinks of you, or make cutting comments that might upset a person. She thinks it, she says it. This can be down to lacking tact, in some cases, but other times, it is just her temper coming through. She is a fierce one, and if you get on her bad side, she will make life hell for you, and won't hesitate to either hex you, have verbal sparring matches in public with you, or make you a complete social outcast. Or all three.
She is smart, and very ambitious, and almost was sorted into Slytherin, only she was too feisty. She knows what she wants, and she won't hesitate to walk all over everyone to get it, yes, even those people who think she's their friend. She can be ruthless and cold, cut-throat and manipulative, wicked and selfish, but rest assured, she will always be all of these things to your face, rather than behind your back. She is anything but underhand, and she will always let you know where you stand with her, whether it's good or bad, so you don't need to worry about her gossiping behind your back. She is loud and brash, and a spoiled brat, but above all else.... Tersha is lonely. She has never really known the kind of love most kids get from their parents, and she is used to being abandoned, and treated like hand luggage when she is invited along and included in things, so she tries her best to make sure that will never happen to her in Hogwarts, and that she will always be invited and wanted.
She is a very loving girl, and has the potential to be a very powerful source of good, if only she feels comfortable enough to let people see the more vulnerable sides of her. There are a small handful of very close friends that she has made during her school years, and these people get to see the good, affectionate, warm-hearted Tersha that longs to take over. She is exceptionally loyal, and will defend her friends to the ends of the earth, and she will give them anything and everything she has if she thinks they need it. She's very generous and kind to these people, or others who have the potential to set her at ease in that way. She's very fun-loving, with everyone, and is always up for a good party and dancing. She's very flirtatious, and knows how to let her hair down, sso she's definitely someone people go to for a bit of fun, as she's not scared to let loose.

history[/i]
Tersha Alara Knight was born on a windy, bustling May afternoon, the only child of Alara and Thaddeus Knight. She was named specifically as the third member of their little family, her name deriving from the Latin for "third", Tertius. Her parents weren't exactly naturals when it came to kids, so they immediately hired help, deciding that it was more trouble than it was worth, and they wouldn't be having any more children. When she was only six months old, they moved from London, to New Mexico, in America, and set up a life there. They spoiled Tersha rotten, of course, thinking that money and material things were a good replacement for time, love, and affection. Tersha never really knew any different, apart from the love and affection she was shown by the staff at her house.
She grew up to be demanding, holding her hand out to daddy whenever she wanted something, and usually getting it without much of a fight. Anything to keep her happy and out of the way, right? She wasn't stupid, though, and she was far from a robot, and by the time she was five years old, Tersha knew what true sadness felt like, as she realized that her parents really just weren't that interested in her. It cut deep, and she carried the wound around with her every day. It is possibly what has shaped her to be the confident, bossy, ambitious person she is today. Her attitude a desperate bid to try and prevent anyone from ever treating her that way ever again, and maybe a way for her to not have to keep that influence in her own adult life.
She never really saw her home as "home", as it was cold, and empty most of the time, and she counted down the days when she would be able to begin her magical education at Hogwarts. A few months before the start of term, her parents, as they had planned to all along, moved back to London, in to their old mansion that they lived in before they became parents, and Tersha had to readjust to the new place and house staff, which was fun. (Not.) Her parents didn't accompany her to King's Cross on 1st September, the butler took her instead, giving her a warm hug before she crossed through the barrier on her own. She never thanked him for that bit of kindness, but he soon became a friend to her, and would send her owls to see how she was doing.
She didn't struggle at school like she did at home, though. After being sorted into Gryffindor, she soon stamped down her authority, and made it clear that she was someone who was not to be ignored or messed with, and if you wanted to be anyone, it was an excellent idea to make her your friend. She used her parents money as a weapon, flaunting it to win friends and support, even though she felt like most of her relationships were fake, as she was pretending all along. It soon became normal for her, though, and the act became a reality as she settled in. She was now popular, surrounded by people who wanted to be seen with her, and over time, she managed to make a few really good, genuine friends, who she became loyally attached to, and would do anything for. She promised herself she would do well in school, and get away from the life her parents forced her into. She would have their riches, but she would also have love and kindness in her world. This is what she now works towards.
