    Mirela Cora
    #1
    Full Name: Mirela Cora
    Nicknames: Miri, Cora, Lovey
    Birthdate: March 1st 1864
    Current Age: 19 years
    Occupation: Dancing whore at The Painted Lady
    Wand: 11”, Apple wood, supple, Abraxan (Pegasus) wing feather
    Blood Status: Pureblood
    Social Class: Lower
    Family:
    Extensive and irrelevant, all sold to slavery.
    Appearance:
    She stands small at 4’11” and although petite she is reasonably curvy, her stomach is flat but her hips wide and she has medium size breasts, but never described as big.
    Her skin is slightly olivey but incredibly pale untanned.
    She has long dark hair that falls in very soft waves and sometimes curls.
    Her eyes are a mixture of honey and amber flecks over a milk-chocolate brown, they are large and her lashes are long and dark.
    She has a heart-shaped face with full pink lips and a small, almost button nose. Her eyebrows are one of her defining features.
    When or rather if she’s wearing any clothes she prefers to wear traditional Romani clothes, rather than stiff corsets. Her preferred lingerie is small and lacy. She enjoys wearing jewellery as well though.

    She is left-handed

    History:

    1864 | Mirela is born to a travelling family. Romanis or Gypsies. She is born to a clan of magical travellers. She is the granddaughter of a brilliant and powerful seer.

    1866 | She displays her first bout of magic, colouring their wagon with flowers without lifting a brush.

    1867 | Her second display of magic is making her grandmother’s crystal glow brightly.

    1868 | Her first prophesy is told. Her head rolls back and she goes limp, her eyes roll back into her head showing only whites and she foretells the tragic death of her grandmother. Her grandmother dies three months later, trampled to death by a frightened thestral in a forest, much like the prophecy

    1973 | Her parents allow her to help make her own wand. The clan wand-maker lets her play with the cores, unicorn hair, thestral hair and Abraxan (Pegasus) feather. She makes the feather float without a wand and so uses this as her core. Once her wand is complete and tested she begins learning magic from different members of her clan.

    1875 | Their travel takes them from Germany into France, having been travelling back to France, having been gone for over fifteen years to avoid the enslavement that has been the fate of many travellers. It is her first time in France and she falls in love with the country. She has already been taught some French, especially as their own language is a variant of a basic Romani blended with an older French. She finds it easy to pick up the French of 1870s.

    1879 | During a cold December evening gathered around a fire her eyes role back and she begins to speak in a voice not belonging to herself as she speaks of the impending doom of her family. It is foretold that on the night of the new-year their camp will be ransacked and they will be taken as slaves. Heeding the warning, and believing very strongly in the words of foresight, they back up camp and move on to outside of Paris. They have been fleeing this fate of slavery since the 1850s. Not listening to Mirela’s warnings, they camp for the night of the last day of the year. Mirela leaves the camp that night, watching from not far off as the camp is set on fire, women Is raped and her friends and family are shoved into steel ‘wagons’. She flees into the city of Paris.

    1880 | A week through hiding, and feeling incredibly unsafe she begs and forages whatever she might, growing ill. One evening she begs for food from a well-dressed man, who offers her instead sanctuary, noticing her woven-patterned Romani clothing almost instantly. Naïve at only fifteen years of age she follows the Parisian man to his brothel. Once there and inside he then reveals why she has been brought there. Understanding that this option will provide her a hidden life from the Parisian police who wish to enslave her, and agrees to stay with him. She is able to conceal her wand from him incredibly well,
    Later in the year, as summer is looming he catches her dances to music played by one of the other girls, and notices her natural talent, as she dancing with traditional techniques of her Romani ancestry. He encourages her to practise persistently so that she may become the best. By May she has recovered all her strength and is no longer ill and she takes her first customer. He is luckily a young, very handsome young man and so she is able to take some pleasure in her first sexual encounter.

    1881 | A new client requests Mirela; a woman, and opens up the Romani girl’s world to the possibilities of sex with a woman. She has her first actual orgasm with this woman. She is eager to touch another girl’s breasts and private parts again and works on seducing the other girls in the brothel. It doesn’t take long before she is ‘teaching’ them new things.

    1883 | Her pimp has become aware of how close she is becoming to a number of the girls and decides he does not want her there any longer, due to the fact she is putting ideas into the other girl’s heads, especially since Mirela is able to provide the girls more pleasure than any customer could as Mirela is wicked with her tongue.
    She first grew suspicious when he had her learning English in January.
    Knowing that her fate is to be sold, mostly due to eavesdropping, she enchants the ‘advertisement’ or ‘letters’ to only be intercepted by those able to use magic, wanting to go somewhere she does not have to keep hiding her wand or pretending it’s for her personal pleasure.
    She is purchased from her Parisian employer to work in a magical town in Britain. She is unsure exactly what this “Scotland” is and is even more put off by the fact it is called “Hogsmeade”. She is unaware before arriving there that it is a wizarding town, something that would have only excited her.

    Personality:

    Sneaky, crafty, resourceful.
    Mysterious, although mostly just with clients and customers.
