Name: Miseria Manson
Ability Desired:Parseltongue
How your character got this ability:
Actually, Miseria was borned with this ability - to talk with snakes. Her parents are mostly thinking that it is inheritable. (Some of her relatives have been in Slytherin and one of them have had Parseltongue) This ability came out when Miseria was visiting her aunt who had Boa snake for her pet. And at the same time when her parents and her aunt were in the kitchen, having some tea, Miseria went to watch this incredible animal for whom she felt something in common. She sat near the aquarium and looked at the sleeping boa what was mostly ignoring her. Sighing quietly, she put her hand upon the glass and looked at it.
“You must be lazy“ she said. Well, she was only six years old and she called most of the people lazy who ignored her or didn't talk to her. Rolling her hair around her finger, snake suddenly had raised it's head and shaked it. Miseria's eyes went big when she looked at the Boa, wordless. Bud since her parents have told her not to have this great imagination, she already knew that it was useless to call them. She didn't remove her hand from the aquarium, but she also didn't look away but stared at him. “But why aren't you talking with me?“ she asked, scowling even more.
Miseria like any other child loved all this attention and in her family they gave it. Mostly after her accident when she was transformed into a werewolf. When snake didn't answer, not even with a nodd, she finally stood up and opened the aquarium. “Come here...“ she said quietly. It was like snake had understood her and crawled on her hands and then on her shoulders.
Although he had a lot of weight, Miseria could stand straightly. But on the next moment she heard scream and she turned her face to the door. Her mother was standing there, shaking all over her body. Yes, she also knew that her mother was afraid of animals who could eat her alive. “Mommy! I can understand it!“ Miseria said, but no one listened to her. Her aunt came into the room and saying nothing, she took the snake and placed him back to the aquarium. Being sad that she could't come back and talk with this snake anymore, they left.
The second time when Miseria was using her Parseltongue was again at her aunt's house. This old Boa has been dead for three years from now and her parents came for a birthday. House was full of guests and one of them gave her aunt a new snake, again boa, although, it was little.
“Miseria, care to take him into the next room? I will be there in a second,“ her aunt asked. Him, yes. She nodded and took this little snake on her hands, smiling again. She had already forgotten about this little incident with her last snake and was happy when she could hold this little animal!
Running trough the room and passing all those guest who barely looked at her, she made it to the next room. There it was – the same aquarim what her aunt was using! “So, this is your new home,“ she said to a snake. When she had transformed into a werewolf, it was almost like a habit to talk with animals, althouhg, they didn't even understand her. Snake raised it's head and nodded. Miseria smile widened when she replied. “Are you happy? Do you like it?“ she asked, walking around the aquarium. It reminded more the glass cage, not home. Snake shaked it's head and Miseria sighed:“Yes, I wouldn't like to live here, too, but hey, she will raise you and you'll become one big and strong snake,“ she tryied to make snake feel more confident. But hey, she was eight years old! Her fantasy was great enough to talk with animals! This time she didn't have any reply and she placed him into the aquarium.
“I'm sure you'll like it here. Wait until you get to know her better,“ she smiled. Snake nodded again.
“I knew you'd agree with me, because -“ she couldn't finish her sentence because she heard a loud sigh behind her.
Turning herself around, she saw her aunt and mother, who had this kind of expression like she would faint right now.
“Miseria! You're hissing!“ her aunt said in disbelief.
Little add: Since It was written, some of Miseria's relatives were in Slytherin. And 200 years ago was one of her ancestors first one who could use the Parseltongue. Though, he wasn't the evil type, he used this ability to shock people and get what he wants. But after he's death (he only lived 50 years. He was killed in a little house by spell), no one in this family had this ability until it was shown up in Miseria.
