Any other relations we should know about: BFF is Riley Bloodfeather - she admires his complete disinterest, and perhaps befriended him knowing her obnoxious point of views made no impression on him/she didn’t alienate him immediately. He also has the coolest band tees ever.

Likes: music, underground bands, music you’ve never heard of, PETA, Vegan products, making people feel guilty about eating meat, eyeliner, glasses, thrift stores, vinyl, band tees.

Quirks: Started smoking because of Riley.
Secrets: She still loves hamburgers.
Strengths: Achieves high marks consistently, loyal to those most important to her, some of her ‘causes’ are worthwhile, she will fight for what she believes in whole-heartedly
Weaknesses: judgmental, often hugely hypocritical, a utter brat sometimes.
Detailed personality: Phoenix thrives on that feeling of being more ‘aware’ of the world than others , that she observes more and takes more from everyday life than most could hope to. As far as she’s concerned she has deep insight and profound thoughts about the most obscure or ‘ordinary’ seeming things - a fact which generally makes her think she’s better than all the drones of society who live forever shrouded in a cocoon of their own ignorance! She enjoys following causes - particularly those which allow her to be confronting. That potato chip you’re about to eat, thousands of hectares of rainforest were destroyed to create it. She’s a vegan, and judges everyone else’s eating choices. Even if you ARE also a vegan you’ll never be as devoted a vegan as she is the kind of tofu YOU eat is processed in a plant that also processes animal products. Of course she goes about her holier-than-thou existence with a hatred of consumerism and societal issues all whilst shuffling through her favourite (so underground - you’ve probably never heard of them) bands on her shiny new ipod. Decidedly very hispter, though she’d never define herself as one, she hates labels. Phoenix is not particularly social though she doesn’t lack the skills, she just chooses to keep the company of the only person she can stand.
Personal History: As an only child, she’d like to state her upbringing was filled with loneliness and hours of isolation that led to her keen mind and unique ability to grasp what exactly is wrong with society - she in fact has doting parents who have always had plenty of time for her. Jocelyn and Walker Whitehorn were well off enough such their only daughter would want for nothing which made her somewhat a spoilled brat. and later an opinionated spoilled brat, generally lenient parents causing her to believe if she was fervent enough about anything her point would be made. She grew up in Arlington, Virginia to an affluent family name - with mixed heritage both Muggle-born and Wizarding lines in her family tree, she has a grown up with a healthy measure of both Wizard and Muggle worlds. She was schooled privately in her early years, overjoyed to receive her invitation to Dresden Academy.
