Alyona Pelikhova

Backstory

I'm Alyona, the butt of most necromancer jokes, mainly because I was fascinated with death and anatomy.

I was given up at birth, for my mother was too ill to raise me. So I mainly spent my days in the orphanage, till one day a tree that wasn't originally there, started to grow across from the orphanage. When I hit the age of 11, the tree had a weird aura to it, till a witch popped out. I was quite confused as one can imagine, but the witch explained to me that they were a teacher at Koldovstoretz and that I was a witch too.

Whisking me away, we made our way to my new place of living. During my house sorting, it was hard to know if I would be in Grigoriev or Voronin. But after a few minutes, I was dawning the colors of Grigoriev, and I attained my new wand: Walnut wood with a dragon core 12 ½" and reasonably supple flexibility.

Honestly, life at Koldovstoretz wasn't bad, I learned a good bit there. But eventually, during my third year there, I was transferred over to Hogwarts. Why? One may ask, and simply I finally got officially adopted by wizarding parents! But they were from Scotland and still lived there, so it didn't make sense for me to stay at Koldovstoretz anymore.

Life at Hogwarts was strange at first, especially the broom riding, for at Koldovstoretz, it was a tree we flew on. But after my first year there of catching up and getting used to everything, I enjoyed myself.

I was sorted into Ravenclaw and excelled in most of the same classes I had at Koldovstoretz. Arithmancy, Potions, Astronomy, and Charms. During my charms lessons, I was able to conjure my Patronus, which is a Buzzard.
