Three children.
The eldest, Andromeda.
Tall, but not pretty. Plain dark hair, hazel eyes, average complexion, normal build. Has a certain air of beauty and nobility but is known for her impeccable manners and perfect conduct as well as her studious and serious attitude. She is helpful but dignified. When not being instructed in the ways of the household or in english and mathematics, she entertains herself by reading, embroidery and of course playing with her younger cousins and her two sisters.
The middle child, Narcissa.
The beauty of the family. A petite, delicate and pretty child. Glittering blonde hair, intense grey eyes, a pale, aristocratic face and small frame. Well behaved but prefers to spend her time fantasizing and dreaming rather than educating herself. Despite her dreamy nature, she possesses little imagination and she does not argue. She is tidy and organised, never lazy but is rather introverted.
The youngest, Bellatrix.
Small and surprisingly strong. Soft black curls frame her fierce face, her eyes are dark. Her sisters claim praise due to their admirable beauty and insight, Bellatrix developed a will of iron and a fierce personality to match her looks. With a certain lack of any personal interests, she can be restless but is proud and well-respected. She learns easily but is not easily impressed.
