Kendra Flaherty

History
 Kendra Lynn Flaherty was born to Benjamin Flaherty and Teal Seawood on a cold, wet day at the end of March. She was a bit of an unexpected surprise, at first, her parents believing that her older brother, Conrad, would have been enough. By the time she was born her mother at least was on board with the idea, and quickly grew to love her daughter. Granted, Benjamin had not been overly prepared for the birth of his son, something about the notion of having a daughter seemed to scare him. As such, Kendra and her father were never close. Kendra could not ever seem to put her finger on why her father seemed so uncomfortable around her, and therefore became close to her mother.

 Kendra's older brother Conrad was almost four when she was born. Kendra and Conrad get along occasionally, most of the time, they don't. Kendra believes his sense of responsibility and blind obedience is stifling.

 It was on vacation in Ireland that Kendra's first magical signs appeared. She could have sworn it was a fluke, because it hadn't happened at home, but she was down near a lake, when she caused the water to ripple unexpectedly. She ran to find her mother, but Teal wasn't anywhere to be seen at the moment, forcing Kendra to tell her father what had happened. Benjamin explained what it was, and eight-year-old Kendra began to daydream about what Hogwarts would be like when she got to attend in a few years time.

Personality
 Kendra is a dreamer. She loves to daydream, and imagine all the wonderful possibilities that her future could bring. Kendra's older brother was always very good about telling her that her lofty, imaginative dreams were nonsense, but it never deterred her. Perhaps it was her close bond with her mother, in conjunction with her mother's Metamorphmagus abilities that spurred her imaginative mind. Her mother could be anything at the drop of a hat! Why couldn't she dream about it? The hole left that she wished her father would one day fill sometimes causes her to be a little clingy. She's sort of afraid she's off-putting, so anyone that shows her kindness and friendship she latches onto with a strangle-hold.



Appearance
Kendra has thick curly brown hair, and big brown eyes to match. Her eyes can come across, at times, as a little spacey, but it's because she's daydreaming, most likely. Her eyes carry a lot of emotion, and would be a dead-giveaway to helping read her. Her face claim is Lara Robinson.
