Nanali had never been to the African village where her mother, Arjana, grew up, and she was glad of it. She had heard the terrible story of how the Muggle Religious Folk there banished her when they found out she was a witch after she shape-shifted to flee a drunken admirer one night. The story had a happy ending though. She was taken by Nanali's Muggle father, Kobe McCabe, a kind man who ran a successful hotel on the coast. Kobe had fallen in love with Arjana from the start. Continued tensions from Arjana's people caused the couple to move to London some time later. Nanali was born there, along with her younger brother Obi, and her younger sister, Zola.
Nanali thought of the story as she looked at a non-moving photo of her parents. She missed them and looked forward to seeing them in a couple of months. The two ran a Muggle Hotel in London, and the secret of Arjana and her children were kept safe due to the rules of the Wizarding World. Nanali was cool with it, as she could be herself when she took trips to Diagon Alley, and of course when she was at Hogwarts.
Nanali's personality had a lot to do with her name. Nanali was named after her late godmother, a friendly woman from her native land named Nanali Munroe who worked as her parents' secretary and had once worked for African royalty. She was the only Muggle other than Nanali's father than knew the family's secret of being (mostly) magical folk. She swore she would never tell, and kept that vow until the day she died. The elder Nanali taught the younger one to have a regal personality. This meant to be well-mannered and walk and talk with self-pride, all the while never being snobbish or looking down on others. Many students often confused Nanali's personality for that until they took a moment to get to know her.
Nanali sat properly and upright on her bed. She always sat and walked perfectly upright, as if balancing a book on her head. The only particular thing she did now and then when she walked was have her arms behind her back with her hands touching. She looked down at her cat Ayo and stroked her fur. She had neither the ability of animal affinity or animal communication, but she had a bond with this particular feline nonetheless. Ayo herself was very regal and graceful.
"Good evening, Ayo," she said in a voice that could make one thing she lived in Buckingham Palace. "I believe it is time for our respective dinners." She then opened a can of expensive tuna and placed it into Ayo's dish. Nanali watched a moment as Ayo begin to eat, and then made her way down to the Great Hall.
When Nanali walked into the Great Hall, she saw one Hiromi Yen talking trash to a first year Gryffindor boy because he accidentally spilled some Pumpkin Juice on her. She knew the Ravenclaw well enough by now to know that she had a hatred of anyone sorted into Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. But this was just cowardly to pick on an eleven year old like that. Approaching calmly, she looked at Hiromi, showing no intimidation or foolish rage in her eyes.
"If you would bother to look at the boy's face, he realized that he has offended you and he sincerely regrets it," she said, her voice strong and regal once again. "He is no threat to you and that Pumpkin Juice can be cleaned off your robe with a simple spell. So what further reason do you have to embarrass him?"
Hiromi wanted to say it was because he was a Gryffindor, but she knew how foolish she would look in front of everyone. So she merely gave Nanali a dirty look and walked away. Nanali then looked at the First Year and smiled.
"We all made mistakes," she said. "But as my mother taught me, it is when we reveal that we realize we have done so and desire to not make the same mistake again that we show who we truly are. Come, let us get you some more Pumpkin Juice." The boy smiled back and followed Nanali to the pitcher of juice.
