general appearance~
Vidonia is a very elegant and pretty girl at seventeen, standing a full five feet four inches. Her frame is small, but elegant in the way she likes to carry herself with the intelligence and audacity of a woman who doesn't like to take backseat, much rathering to express her full potential. Her most striking feature is her eyes, which we will start with then continue on down her body. Her eyes are like deep mournful pools of melted chocolate, absorbing all there is around her and more. Her eyes seem timeless and understanding, and her intelligence shines through the dark depths. Though her eyes may soften and shine, she never looses the one spark of sadness that seems constant.
She has a beautiful oval shaped face framed by long honey golden hair that tumbles down to her mid back. Her hair lightens and darkens with the seasons and depending on the day and how much sleep she gets her hair will either seem straight, windswept, or curly. Her hair usually falls into her eyes, in which she is forever and constantly brushing it behind her ear which fails her every time. she has long curling dark eyelashes that frame her eyes dramatically to give her a more doll like appearance. Due to the fact she hardly sleeps dark purple bruise-like marks permanently circle her large eyes.
Her skin is pale and smooth, revealing no blemish or imperfection whatsoever to her delicate skin. Though when faced with an allergy her skin tends to blotch up in red patches which she tries to hide to prevent worry. Her lips are full, in a "pouty" style which occurs naturally. Her frame is slender and delicate, having a smaller frame than most girls her age. At times she does seem "too small" which she does in fact resent, especially when she was younger.

overall personality~
In contradiction to her looks Vidonia is in no way a typical young woman. While most women are satisfied leading the kitchen lives they are taught from their mothers, Vidonia uses her brain far too much for such a docile life. She loves to be in the middle of the excitement, and helping other people. She wants to be recognized as a woman, a female helping law enforcement save people's lives. She's an opinionated girl and not afraid to show it, and without thinking she replies with a sharp wit and biting tongue. If she doesn't intend to seem mean or cruel she will immediately apologize, with a hint of embarrassment flushing her cheeks pink.
Seeing as she gets little to no sleep she is a very easily irritable person who can be driven into a rage rather easily if you push the right buttons. Vidonia is very quiet in her work and doesn't often speak, unless she's in a stimulating conversation she finds worth it. An awful tendency to drift off into her own world overtakes her often, as she's quite the daydreamer. She'd much rather be in her own little world filled with only God knows what than listen to you prattle on uselessly. Oh dear, all this makes her seem quite unpleasant. She's quite the sweetheart deep down, striving to gain the praise of those she admires greatly and quite the little busy bee when it comes to cases she's helping solve.
Save her once and she's forever in your debt, and she will not no matter how hard she tries ever forgive any kindness you show her. She's a devoted young woman who's very open minded and has a lot of secrets, and with that she's also able to hold them well.
Something she absolutely cannot stand though is being embarrassed as it upsets her terribly, most of the time even to tears. Her ability to hold a grudge is quite impressive and she retorts with her tongue and wit before she takes her leave. She knows deep down she isn't seen to be as good as a man at times by others but she's determined to impress the minds of everyone that doubted her.
She holds herself with a bit of reluctant royalty, something not actually easily spotted by others. She will never forget who her ancestors are or where she came from, and even though her family is trying to start a new life she pronounces her name proudly and speaks fluently with an accent.

history~
Vidonia was born on a family estate in Nyírbátor, Hungary to a family with a dangerous past. After the mishap with the infamous Erzebet Bathory the family name had been run through the mud, and though they were still very very wealthy they weren't well respected. When it was heard that a child of the Bathory family was born on the exact day her ancestor the Blood Countess was, suddenly a rush of people were curious as to whether or not history would repeat itself. Intent on protecting their baby her parents refused to let her out and kept her locked up in the family estate most of her life. While watching over their daughter the parents noticed she seemed to be accelerating far past her age. She could talk fluently before she was 1 and could read by her first birthday.
They took her to a doctor who gave her a test and confirmed their hopes, their daughter had an IQ of 187. Astounded they began her schooling early and soon she became a master at many things, but her favorites being music and astronomy. Soon the town around them became restless, wanting to judge the girl who was supposedly just like her horrible ancestor. Since the poor girl knew of the tragedy that had befallen her family she questioned often why other people hated her, and soon her parents no longer knew how to answer her. When it all became too much for the family they did the only thing they could of, the bought Vidonia a puppy as a present and moved.
They took the puppy with them with no knowledge of it from Vidonia, and since she was a curiosity in her self they allowed her to do some detective work. Once she found the puppy she admitted it wasn't so bad moving, and her father named the dog Gazsi, meaning protects the treasure. They moved to London quickly, hoping to erase all memories of their former life from their four year old daughter's mind. Though she clung to the days she was in Hungary as she loved it terribly, she proved to advance even further than her teachers as she grew. Soon she could compose her own music, though she claimed it hard to get the sounds right, and could successfully map out every star and constellation in the sky.
She knew the history of Rome, Greece, Italy, anywhere you could imagine her thirst for knowledge had sucked dry. After she had grown to be a young woman at the age of thirteen she was inspired by Sherlock Holmes to become a detective, and thus began her work learning about law. She read the papers every day for a hint of him and craved to solve cases with the police. Once she was sixteen she begged her father to speak wth the police force if she could help them, and with a bit of persuading from her father she was allowed to help, as long as it didn't get too dangerous for her.
Happily she agreed and proved with her advanced intelligence to be a big help, but not without some skepticism. She was bullied a bit and severely underestimated by her coworkers and this frustrated her greatly as she knew herself she could do so much more if they didn't think her weak. She proved them wrong after solving a petty case single handedly and her coworkers, well most of them, began to see her in a new light. They agreed to allow her to become a detective-in-training and since then she's been dying to meet Sherlock Holmes, the inspiration of her striving to be a detective.

"That sounds excellent and simple for now, they'll never see it coming in the first place since they're so used to them being the only pranksters." She seemed so sure of herself. Smiling smugly, for what was to be assumed the only time in her life where she did so. Hugging Sherlock tightly to her chest she already had a plan of how to execute this perfectly. Though she resented the fact she could not perform wandless or silent magic, it would soon be a very vital part of their plans if they were to keep their pranking a secret for a while. They had to be stealthy, and always one step ahead of the marauders, which with her own detective like brain shouldn't be too hard.
"My dear dear friend!" She said in a tone of disbelief. "Do you think me so unintelligent as to not already have a plan?" She teased the girl lightly. "Of course, we can accio the feathers after collecting them and summon perhaps.....syrup from the kitchen should be simple enough. All we'll have to do is walk by the marauders during dinner and the prank will be set. We can release the combination at any desired time, we can hide it above the weather spell cast on the great hall when there's a cloudy day. All I'll need to do is sneak down to the kitchens to make sure there is an ample supply of syrup to cover all of them."
Gears turned in her mind as the possibilities surge through her brain. They wouldn't be expecting it so there was no reason for them to worry, now their only problem was that they had to wait. "I'll try to get someone to teach me wandless and silent magic, we might need to use it to our advantage as we get into more serious pranking."
