History:
Nymphadora Artesmia Cadwallader was born the third of the Cadwallader children. Her older brother died in a horrible accident when she was three, and it scares her a little that she doesn't really remember him. Her older brother died in a horrible accident when she was three, she felt a great sense of loss. It's probably one of the reason's she's rather uncomfortable talking about death.
She's still rather close with her remaining siblings and her parents, though truth be told she has a bit of a competitive streak. She hides it well, most of the time, but it's there. At Hogwarts she was sorted into the house of Slytherin where she's currently a sixth year. She's not really sure why she was placed there, but if she had to guess she'd say it was her ambition. Anyway, it works out well enough and while she doesn't always get on well with everyone in her house she does like her HOH. Mostly, because she likes learning, and Professor King is all about expanding your horizons.
Dora, or Artie as she sometimes goes by, doesn't participate in a lot of school run activities, although she does fancy quidditch a bit. She also likes dance to dance though she'll admit SumSum is probably a little better at it than her, and can often be found in the library as well. Sometimes she worries she won't live up to her older sisters legacy, but honestly she has her own gifts. If people can't accept her for who she is, that's their problem. [/color]
