Personality: Giovanna is exactly what little girls are made of: Sugar, Spice and everything nice. Of course, the sugar and everything nice can sometimes be limited. She is one hot-tempered seventeen year old. It always seems like she’s up for a fight, and I don’t just mean a Wizard Duel. She is also one stubborn individual, if she says something, she means it. End of story. Oh, and we can not forget how opinionated she happens to be! Gee is one of those people who go by ‘Everyone in entitled to my opinion’. If you have one and she doesn’t like it, she will sure enough tell you. She enjoys the company of boys over girls. Girls tend to be catty, Gee doesn’t deal with any attitudes besides her own.
Now, all negative traits aside: Giovanna is a very out-going person. She’s a dare devil, who is up for anything. Plus she absolutely loves people, there’s no way to get away from a conversation with her. Okay, so she may be a bit talkative, but who likes wallflowers anyway? If you lay one hand on any of her friends you might as well be dead. As she grew up with basically no family, they’re all she has and god forbid anything happen to them. There are only three types of people in the world that Gee cannot stand. Those people just happen to be Deatheaters, spoiled-brats, and bullies. She has a strong opinion one what’s right and what’s wrong. Picking on people in anyway, shape, or form hit a never with her. Perhaps its because she’s a muggle born and has to deal with that kind of discrimination. But who knows what runs through this broad’s head?
History: Born into a muggle family Giovanna had no clue about a magical world. She lived with her grandparents in Italy until she was eight. In the year of her ninth birthday, Giovanna’s father decided that he wanted custody of the little girl he had abandoned eight years ago when his wife died. The court granted it to him. Life with her father was fine for the first couple of years, but then he started gambling and drinking. As soon as he lost money gambling he would go to the bar and sit for hours, drinking away his misery. Living in a slum and having to scrounge around for food, this wasn’t how life supposed to be for the proper young lady she was once told she was going to be.
Then one day, her father miraculously came home with enough money to move to France and start a new life there. A clean slate was what she was promised, and a solid living quarter. But she only got one thing that she was promised, they kept moving from house to house. Every other month she’d be living in a new region of France. Oh yes she did ask, but her father evaded the question multiple times. She had her suspicions of foul play with the mafia. But never got enough evidence to prove her charge true, for the tragic fact that a year later, upon returning from school one day she found her father dead.
She lived with several different foster families, but no one seemed to want her for very long. It was always the same story weird behavior and odd occurrences. The next she it finally came together when she got her letter of acceptance into Beauxbatons. Of course she thought it was some sort of prank at first, but was completely ecstatic when she found out it wasn’t.

Appearance:
Post Example:
The fire cracked as the last of the remaining students filed out of the Common Room. Their destination was obvious. It was half-past mid-night, where else would they be going? All was quiet, still, and undisturbed. The couches were empty, and floors free of feet. The wind ceased to exist. It was a perfect night. Anything could happen, but not sitting up here in the dormitory with a bunch of sleeping girls. It’s not like they would be the source of any good conversations, unless of course she wanted to know the latest couple or the ‘juiciest’ gossip. Rolling her eyes, Giovanna tied her tennis shoes and slinked to the last stair. After looking to make sure the coast was clear she walked over to the entrance. She took one last look behind her, seemingly empty, good. As soon as her hand touched the portrait’s canvas she heard a noise from behind. Seeing nothing there she put it out of her mind and waltzed into the corridors.
Stealth was a good attribute to have for things like this. Being careful to push herself against the walls to peak around the corner, Gee found herself feeling like a ninja, or maybe a spy. A smirk played across her face as she did one of those spy rolls in front of another hallway’s turn off. It was a bold thing to do, as it had made a ‘thump’ when she hit the ground. Her wand was now being held with both hands, and up in front her face, like James Bond with his gun. She giggled. Look at her, almost eighteen and playing secret agent. "I guess, I'll never get to old for somethings.", she whispered.
