Family: Biological parents : unknown || Elizabeth McGonagall : adoptive mother, 57 || Victor McGonagall : adoptive brother, 31

Appearance:

• She has an athletic build that's not too muscular, but healthy. Unlike most women of this era, her skin color is a tanish sort of hue rather than the fashionable pale complexion. Her natural hair color is of a dark brunette. She can legibly write with both hands, but she favors her left hand. Clothing has never been her strong suit, mainly because she is not an avid fan of corsets. She would be content with a plain shirt, breeches and riding boots (since movement is not limited in those), but seeing that she was born a woman she must abide by certain customs of the era. Her dresses consists of plain colors, nothing too fancy. If it was not for the concern of Elizabeth she would careless about keeping up with what the latest fashion is.

History:

• Needless to say, Resa has little to no knowledge of who her actual parents are. Any evidence that she did have them for a short period was on her birth certificate. Fortunately, she was adopted by a kind woman by the age of nine. Elizabeth had given her a home along with a older brother. It took her a while to adjust to living with a permanent family since she had been use to being passed around from one family to the next. It was a modest living, but she was more than content with the security of a home and family.
  
  
  
  She would be forever grateful to Elizabeth for taking her in, and Victor for being the most annoying, yet oddly best brother in the world. She attended Hogwarts and was sorted into Gryffindor House. For her adventurous spirit, she was rewarded with the title Queen of Dares. Her most accomplished subjects were Transfiguration and Care of Magical Creatures respectively. Although her passion was in Transfiguration, she eventually chose to be a magizoologist, and practically made Elizabeth fall off her chair when she received the news.
  
  
  
  Preceding graduation, she went to try her hand as a Dragonologist, which proved to be a promising career for the time being. However as enjoyable of a career it was, she was not satisfied. She always seemed to go back to deepen her knowledge in the area of Transfiguration. During her school years, she would often tutor students whenever they needed help, so it seemed only logical that she pursued a career in the subject. So she sent a letter expressing her interest in the position along with her credentials to the Headmaster of Hogwarts. Surprisingly, she heard a reply within a week, which the Headmaster requested only an interview with her. The interview felt a bit awkward at first since it began with a step into her mischievous past as a student, but she grew more comfortable as the conversation went along. It ended with a handshake and the next day she was granted with the honor of becoming a professor. It had been four years since that day and she has not thought about leaving Hogwarts anytime soon.

Personality:

• She is known to have been an active child in her younger days. There was never a moment were she could survive sitting still for three seconds. She always had to find something to keep her brain occupied or else she may waste away in boredom. She's pretty much improved over the years, but there are still some traces of that wild spirit left in her. Resa prefers to learn from experience rather than taking the word of some printed text. Some say her rebellious nature is a deep flaw of hers since she was never the kind of person to follow 'conventional' beliefs of modern society. She considers herself to be a independent woman, capable of choosing the way she wants to live life and would not let anything tie her down. House pride, Quidditch matches or any type of competition for that matter, fully brings out her competitive streak.
