History
Mishanna is the youngest of her siblings. She hates her birth name and is convinced that her parents gave it to her because she was their least favorite child. As a little girl she went by the nicknames Missy, Miss and Mishy and by the time she entered Hogwarts she went exclusively by Misha. As a little girl she was quite and polite. Her father used to tell her that even as a baby she seldom cried in contrast to her older sister who kept them up all night. She was extremely close to her older brother and because of this she tended to like more boyish things. This greatly annoyed her mother who was constantly signing up her daughters for gymnastics, ballet and other feminine activates; things that Marlene loved but Misha absolutely hated. Her father usually took Mishas side, reasoning that little girls dont have to play with Barbies and do ballet. While Misha was happy to get out of the activities she hated how much her parents fought. While Misha and her older sister, Marlene, were very different they got along well in their early childhood. There relationship began to fall apart after their older brothers death and by the time Marlene left for Hogwarts the two were more enemies than anything else. Misha took Mickeys death hard but instead of opening up to her family she chose to withdraw. For the next few years she was pretty much ignored, until she went to Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin. At first she tried to convince her parents that it wasnt a bad thing; working hard on her grades and keeping out of trouble to prove that she was ok. She even tried out to be the Slytherin Seeker in her second year since her mom had been seeker during her school years. This backfired, however, because her best

friend at the time, Regulus, had also tried out. When Regulus got the position over her she became bitter and took out her frustration with her family on her. Around the same time Misha began to become very subconscious about her appearance. The summer before third year she had made a conscious effort to eat no more than her older sister, unaware that Marlene was suffering from an eating disorder. By the time she returned for her fourth year she was noticeably taller and thinner. Back at Hogwarts though, she returned to her old eating habits; mainly because Quidditch left her tired and hungry. Nervous about reverting to the fat girl she had been last year she once again tried to restrict her food but would often find herself binging out later on out of hunger. This eventually lead to her developing bulimia; allowing her to eat the foods she wanted to without the negative weight gain. Her eating disorder and obsessions over food further strained her relationship with Regulus. Eventually Regulus began hanging out with Severus leaving Misha alone a great deal of the time. Self conscious and without a best friend, Mishas eating disorder spiraled out of control until she passed out one evening after Quidditch and was admitted to the hospital. By the time Misha returned for her fourth year she was at a healthy weight and for the most part had put her eating disorder behind her. Afraid of relapsing though, she tended to avoid situations that could be potentially stressful and stayed to herself. Her relationship with Regulus was still icy so most of her days were spent in the library or common room. When things got bad she still often has the urge to binge though is usually able to refrain.

Personality
Misha has a good heart but she usually hides it behind a mask of indifference. Like her older sister shes very insecure and often thinks people are against her when they arent. She has a hard time letting people in for fear that theyll hurt or eventually abandon her. While she wont admit it, Misha is extremely lonely and wishes she had a better relationship with her parents and older sister.

Relationships
Father When she was a little girl she was close to her father despite him being called away from home a lot on Auror business. After her brother died their relationship became one of indifference and eventually animosity after her father began heavily drinking.

Mother Misha has never had a great relationship with her mother. Her mother is incredibly judgmental of both her daughters and usually expects perfection from them both. She is particularly picky about theirs looks which is one of the contributing factors to why both girls eventually developed eating disorders. Marlene Misha used to be very close to her older sister but like the rest of her relationships, it deterred after her brothers death. Unlike her mother and father, she still has a soft spot for her sister and they can get along sometimes. Regulus Black Regulus was her best friend, until her family issues and eating disorder drove them apart. She still cares about him deeply but feels guilty in her role of the friendship ending. She wants to try to regain the friendship but is terrified of being rejected which is why she maintains a distance. James Potter Misha developed a crush on James when she first became Chaser for Slytherin at the end of her second year. During her fourth year she was completely infatuated by him and had hopes of him noticing her after she fixed her body. James on his part was completely oblivious to her feelings and thought of her as just a Quidditch rival.

Looks
Misha has sea green eyes, and long ashy blonde hair that she prefers to keep in a ponytail, bun or at the very least out of her face. Her weight, as shown in the picture bellow, fluctuates quite a bit.
