Dear Sir, Ma'am, mademoiselle, whomever so happens to be reading this.
Let me start of by saying that this letter is by no means a suicide note or a cry for attention, it is merely an assignment that I gave myself over the summer. I wanted to document everything about myself, who I was and who I am now. Well at least everything I can remember. So with that I do apologize in advance if this letter becomes long.
I think the sensible place to start would be to introduce myself. My name is Nikita Riley Wood. Not many people care what's in a name and I don't know if you're one of them but I shall tell you anyway. Nikita is actually a masculine name in Eastern Europe, more commonly found in places like Russia. In fact I do believe there was a Russian Prince named Nikita. Well the name means unconquered. My middle name Riley, which can also be used as a boys name means courageous. Lucky me both my first and middle names are boys names. Maybe my parents were secretly hoping that is turn out to be a boy. My surname Wood means a person who lived in or worked in a wood or forest. It can also mean other things but lets not mention those. So I'm the unconquered courageous person that lived or worked in a forest. Not exactly exciting but I do believe it is always nice to know what you name means.
Now that's out of the way I can get on with telling you everything there is about me. I was born on the sixth of March, which would make me a pieces. The water signs are known for their sensitivity and emotions, lucky me. My patents are world famous quidditch players: Oliver Wood and Alicia Spinnet. I'm the third of four children and their second and last daughter. I've always felt like I've lived in the shadows of my older siblings, always being compared to them. No one seems to understand that I'm my own person. I'm certainly not loud or brash. I'm the quiet one of the family, the one that is usually curled up with a good book instead of interacting with others of my family.
I grew up with a nanny like my other siblings because of our parents busy schedules. I was placed into the kids quidditch like my older brother and sister and it was there that my love truly began. I mean I loved watching my parents play but its completely different watching to playing. I became a different person when playing.
How would I describe myself? Honestly I don't know, I've never really thought about it. Well I guess you could say I'm innocent. Not in the form of being naive or anything it's more to do with the way I act. I'm all for etiquette. Whomever said chivalry was dead is wrong. I believe it's just hiding underneath the rude obnoxious attitude that people have adopted these days. Call me old fashioned but I like having my chair pulled out for me, or having the door opened or even having a boy carry my books. It just makes me feel special. I dislike violence however I do find it acceptable when defending yourself and its the last possible option. No this does not mean I like playing the damsel in distress role. I will defend myself if I have to. Though I've never been taught how to fight with just my fists. I suppose learning the muggle self defender wouldn't hurt. It would be interesting, well anything muggle is interesting to me.
Whenever I'm in a tough situation or playing quidditch it's like a switch is flipped in my head. I become all driven and determined to success or get out of the situation safely. It's like I become a different person and this guardian me takes over. Oh no, please don't think I have a split personality or anything of the sort; at least I don't believe I have personality issues. I just become someone that no one expects from me. You see how delicate I look but I don't know, it's really hard to explain.
I don't really like some swear words. The occasional shit, excuse my language, and that are fine but those such as c...cu... I can't even write it that's how much I can't stand those words. For some reason I just don't like vampires. Werewolves and all that I'm fine with but not vampires. I don't know if its the whole sucking blood or the fact they can't 'turn off' their vampire side.
I don't like bullies, they're just people seeking attention and trying to make themselves feel better. Most of the time I think it's because they are being bullied themselves. I was a victim of bullying when I first started school. I don't know why I was targeted, maybe it's because I have that delicate sort look to me, like I'd break easily, which of course I dont. Maybe it's because I was sorted into hufflepuff. Not many like the hufflepuff house, they all think its the house that takes those that aren't worthy of being placed anywhere else. I love my house though. Anyway for a year and a half I was picked on and although my siblings defended me when they could, they weren't around 24/7. It wasn't until I joined the quidditch team that the bullying gradually stopped. The previous seeker was too injured to continue playing, the risk of opening old wounds was too much so I tried out in my second year. Although my parents played quidditch neither were seekers so it was a small shock when I got the position. Thanks to quidditch I had friends, I had people that would defend me. Sure I had a couple of friends beforehand but they were more like me. I always stuck to my own, never really made friends with those outside my own house until my third year, where I got the courage to befriend a girl from ravenclaw and then it went from there. I guess I took power from my middle name for that.
However the bullying did have an affect on me. Throughout the whole ordeal and even to this day I've lead myself to believe that I'm weak. If I were a strong person then I wouldn't have allowed myself to be bullied in the first place. That's just my personal opinion though, a few times I've had encouraging words from the quidditch team saying that I am strong because I defeated it and because I do well in a sport that's rough but so far nothing has been able to change my weak outlook of myself.
There are plenty of times where a child thinks of what they want to do once they've grown up and I'm no different. However you could say my future is already mapped out. Mum and dad were hoping that at least one of their children would follow on their footsteps. My older sister certainly made it clear that she didn't want to play quidditch. I don't blame her, she's smart enough to get any job she desires, after all she was placed in ravenclaw. As for my older brother, he's never really voiced his opinions much on it which means its up to me and my younger brother to carry on the family path. I do think there is more to life than just playing games. I truly do love quidditch though so I really don't mind carrying on the family tradition. If I had the choice I would have loved to do something with one of my other two loves: herbology and cooking. I haven't had my careers advice day yet so maybe I could always study one as a backup job in case I don't make it as a professional quidditch player.
So what have I missed out. Oh I'm in my fifth year of school, so I've got my OWLs to look forward to. I'm nervous about those, I want to make my family proud of me. Um oh how could I have almost forgotten this, I've never been kissed before. Sure I've been on a couple of dates but there's been no spark there and I think my older brother is scaring any potential dates away. Not that I'm worried about my love life right now, the upcoming exams are going to be stressful enough but I do wonder what its like to be with someone. I see all those couples around, holding hands and kissing and it makes me wonder if that would ever be me. I want to know what it's like to be completely and hopelessly in love. Yes yes you've caught me, I am a hopeless romantic but please don't say anything, especially not to my brothers, I'd never hear the end of it.
Well I do believe that is all that I can recall. I've probably rambled on too much and missed some stuff but at least I've got all the big things down.
Thank you again for taking your time to read this and I hope I haven't bored you too much.
Sincerely,
Miss Nikita Riley Wood
