Stealthy : Hestia is someone you would call as the calm bird. Her presence will not be known to the others in the room unless she decides to speak up or make herself known. She is type to blend in easily and go unnoticed when needed.
stubborn : Hessie has her moments in life when all she cares about is what she wants. she will argue with everyone and anyone to get what she wants and until she gets it she will not be at peace. She likes to have the last word and say in things and does not like it when people try to correct her, especially those she does not like.
self-obsessed : suffice to say Hestia only cares about herself. it is always 'me,me,myself, I' for her and many a times that attitude infuriates others. that was also why she had chosen to flee the battle because she cared for her life and not even stayed back to help the others and those who were fighting.
Picky : Hestia is absolutely picky in nature. be it her choice in dresses, or her choice in food or the books she reads to the people she associates with. She is very much choosy and only selects someone/thing if she knows that it will benefit her somehow. but that does not mean that she pushes the others away from her, but you can see the subtle differences in her character when she associates with those she does not like.
Intelligent : if there was one thing Hestia prides herself in, then it is her intelligence. she is the perfect ravenclaw who was mis-sorted to slytherin and she still thinks that the house of raven could've been a better place for her than the Slytherin house has ever been.
Enigmatic - Hestia at first is very much difficult to interpret or understand. her behavior is very much mysterious that it is relatively difficult to guess her true intentions unless she voices them out loud.
Optimistic - an eternal optimist is what Hestia is. when she believes in something she wishes for it to come true no matter how far-fetched it might be. she likes to think that there is no wrong in dreaming and hoping for something in life.

Being the oldest sibling is never an easy task and to a twin sister, it is much more difficult than one can imagine. you constantly feel like a third parent, and you're sort of treated as such. being the eldest by only 30 minutes wasn't so torturous, though. but when it came down to sharing, Hestia was always the willing one. but at the end of the day, Hestia and Flora seemed to get the same kind of treatment growing up from her mother though it was different when it came down to her father. he always took Flora's side even when she was at wrong, and his reason was nothing though she suspects that their looks were what made him favor Flora. after all her twin was said to be a carbon copy of their paternal grandmother whom her father loved a lot. granted he did not know that Hestia always pulled the "well, i'm older" card when it came to things like who got the last chocolate frog or who got to upgrade their broom first and all such things, which mattered. winning arguments and looking good before her father never mattered to her, Hestia always aimed for the much better catch. she was always pretty sneaky as a child and it grew with age. she is very much keen on making life easy for herself no matter the cost. she always loved knowledge and did nothing but read as a young girl. she was obsessed with learning and through the years, she realized it wasn't just about knowledge. she expanded her intelligence to things like common sense; something she realized very few people had nowadays. she used this to her advantage, though. she was quite disrespectful to her father since a young age, but what teenage girl didn't resent their parents at some point? just like with everything else, Hestia managed to take it to the extreme a few times and hexes and curses were hurled back and forth in the family home. but there was one other thing apart fro studying hestia liked, it was fashion. Given that her mother worked a designer in one of the wizarding boutiques, Hestia formed an instant liking to it. she always had a keen eye for detail and thus helped out her mother a lot as she learned all about dressing up well.

life at Hogwarts :

while she had always prided herself for being intelligent, the sorting hat decided that she was more sneaky and ambitious than intelligence, and sent her to Slytherin ,the one house she hoped not to be sorted in to. with those damn three lurking around and trying to stir up some trouble for themselves, Hestia often found it hard to focus on her schoolwork. how was she expected to excel? Her very first year at Hogwarts was disrupted by the rumors about the chamber of secrets and she was among those who actually owled her parents and even her grandparents to know about the legendary place which was associated with her house. it would come as a surprise to many, that she was among those in her school who thought that she was wrongly placed in her house, not that others would agree True she was talkative and social and a caring person to core, but the very same Hestia can hex you if you irritate her or she would probably slip some potions just because you disagreed with her. she was absolutely unhappy with the number of dementors the castle had played host to in her second year. which crazy ass person thought that it was a great idea to have them around children. but that year she especially felt bad for Potter, the poor guy seemed to have bad luck written on his fate that year. But in the end as she always believes, something good happens after all.

Her third year was disrupted for the most part because of the tri-wizard tournament. she was among those in her house who did not taunt Harry nor did she ignore him. She just supported both of the Hogwarts champions and in fact at Cedric's death she felt herself crying. Hestia may have had a cute little crush on that guy and his death caused her some sadness. Not more than his girl-friend of course, but enough that the girl never even thought of guys or may be she only thought of one guy. she purposely exiled foolish little puberty-driven boys out of her life so that she can concentrate more on the guy she has a crush on. Hestia would never admit it, unless under a veritaserum of course, but she has a crush on one Theo Nott an year senior to her though she never acted on it, nor is she going to. she would probably make him come for her or plan for a betrothal talk between the two families.

As she entered her fifth year, the chaos came in the name of one Dolores Umbridge, whom she dubbed as pink witch taking inspiration from the muggle villain, the green witch.Despite popular belief, not all slytherins thought like her and Hestia was one such example. Hestia was raised to respect everyone around her with respect and equality. and thus she never liked the way the pink witch behaved. nor did she like her dressing sense of course. I mean who would wear a pink cardigan over a pink blouse and pink skirt. that was the biggest and epic fashion fail the wizarding world has ever seen in her opinion. that was the first among the many reasons why she hated that pink witch.

the war and after math :

Hestia finally had a chance to show her alliance. she was never afraid to voice her opinion while studying at hogwarts, but her time there as a student became agonizing when the war was on them. being a good student meant that no administration had any real reason to come down on her. the war was practically a gift to Hestia and all purebloods as she liked to think. yes, some people took the wrong side, but most of them died as a result of it. she was never in the forefront of the fighting, though. Hestia considered herself tough to the core, but she had never been faced with death right under her nose and as distant as she liked to claim she was from everyone, she did definitely make relationships with a few people and the war scared her. she had taken Potter's side. her family had been on the dark side, or at least her father's siblings were, but this time around they knew that a decision had to be made for them to get through and Hestia took her own. She did not want anything to do with the dark lord and the dark arts. all she wanted was peace and happiness she had as a kid. and that was because a certain dark lord had been absent from the world and her crazy aunt and uncle were in Azkaban. but instead of staying and fighting alongside her year mates, she chose to escape the battle, a decision she still regrets not that she would do it any different given another chance. After the war was won and the dark lord defeated, Hestia happily returned back to school and have some sense of normalcy back in her life.
