Avice a été froncé car le fil de la conversation a été rapidement dérouté, de l'exaltant-gussip à la norme du premier jour de l'école-petit-parler.
Puis elle sourit un peu, se disant qu'Aoife était juste timide. "Si c'était le cas, je ne le dirais à personne!" Si Aoife avait admis aimer un jumeau ou l'autre, Avice l'aurait immédiatement dit aux jumelles.
"Est-ce que tu as déjà le mal du pays? Ce n'est même pas le premier jour!" Avice était impolie, sûrement, mais elle était en fait surprise. Elle devrait peut-être essayer de comprendre. Aoife était beaucoup plus loin après tout. "C'est dommage que vous n'ayez pas d'autre famille ici! Par exemple, j'ai mon frère Sorin! C'est sa dernière année. Quand il sera diplômé, j'aurai toujours les jumeaux, nous sommes tous dans la même année! Et le directeur... vous savez... " Corvus Black, le directeur, était son grand-oncle. Avice tournait les extrémités de ses cheveux, fière d'avoir tant de relations merveilleuses. Ensuite, cette tournure s'est ralentie. Elle avait tellement de famille ici et Aoife n'en avait même pas à proximité! Pas étonnant que la fille ait eu le mal du pays et qu'Avice ne l'ait jamais été! Avice s'est retrouvée en train d'admirer les filles.
"Mon été était incroyablement ennuyeux... Je suis si contente d'être de retour ici. Tu sais, je pense que la fête t'aidera à te sentir mieux! Tu peux marcher avec moi? Dites-moi ce que l'Irlande est! Ils n'ont pas d'école là-bas?"
Name: Contessa Evangelina "Eva" di Diavolo
Age: 13
Appearance:

House: Hufflepuff
Wand: Rowan wood with a Phoenix feather core; 12 1/2 inches, unyielding flexibility.

Personality: Despite Eva's upbringing, she has attempted to make herself as down to earth and gritty as possible. She'll be the first to get down and dirty in some exploring or adventuring, is extremely outgoing in casual social events (Not so much in formal ones, but then again, it depends on the crowd she's hanging with), and enjoys making friends - particularly with common folk, or simply those without airs and graces. For her, there is nothing worse than acting above everyone else simply because of your blood or your family name - to her, what lays in one's heart is what is important, and she tries to make that known to most new people she meets.
As she would hate for people to assume that she's just another shitty-acting noble, Eva is quick to stick up for underdogs or those being bullied - more than once, this has led to fights in the streets involving a lot of hair pulling and behaviour unbefitting of a Contessa. Despite the various scoldings received from her parents in regards to this, she continues to do so - and will have a lot more chance to truly act like herself in the halls of Hogwarts. Be ready to expect a steadfast friend loyal to the end, who will personally fist-fight a dragon for you - who cares if her dress gets burnt in the meantime?
Bio: The di Diavolo family was a lesser known - but still influential - noble House present in Florence, Italy. Close to the ruling Nobles, House Medici, it was extremely easy for Eva's pure-blood wizarding family to avoid persecution from the Papal States, who did not have much leeway in the state of Florence thanks to the Medici's.
However, that changed in 1471, when Pope Sixtus IV was elected as the new Holy Father of the world. As with most Catholics at the time, he abhorred the thought of magic, science, and anything that could bring down the Catholic Church - which included House Medici. They held Florence, and had disobeyed Rome and the Vatican for far too long. From there, the Pazzi Conspiracy took place.
In 1478, the Pazzi family attempted to assinate two members of the Medici fgamily, and Pope Sixtus had aided the plans along. While they failed to overthrow the family, and did not attack the di Diavolo House directly, Eva's parents were terrified. They had only some protection from the Catholic Church by the Medici's, but this blow shook their confidence in the ruling House of Florence. Scared they too would be attacked - and their status as magic users discovered - the di Diavolo's left Italy, travelling to England to live with Noble family there.
While witch hunts were still prominent in England at this time, it was rare for nobility to be even accused; the peasantry couldn't even try and judge them if they tried. So, the di Diavolo's were safe, building their reputation and their family. They had left Italy with two children; Eva, at 10 years old, and her brother Leonardo, at 13 years old. The pair were already fluent in English (Italy and it's Church had declared the English language as heathenish and dirty - the di Diavolo's took great delight in learning it as a small, private rebellion against the zealous Church), and by the time their younger siblings were born as twins a year later, their accent was all but gone.
Naturally, when their parents caught wind of a wizarding school, they shipped their oldest two off to it immediately. Eva needed the discipline and Leo needed the independence from his parents. Also, with them both at a boarding school, they couldn't complain or refuse any arranged marriages their parents concocted.
Plotting: Her brother is in his fifth year at Hogwarts, and the two get along well enough. He considers her behaviour to be benefiting of her title, but isn't overly annoying about the whole thing. He's more bothered about his nobility than his blood, anyway.
She's unlikely to get along with the pretentious, snobbish, or judgemental - and if she hears the word "mudblood" thrown around, her fists are going to be thrown around too.
Family: Vaguely related to the Black family, somewhere down the line.
