HISTORY: During the Battle of Hogwarts, Salvador Selwyn fought alongside the rest of the Death Eaters. He was lucky to come out alive, but even luckier to slip away from the entire period without any charges. He was a powerful man in the Ministry, and was with many connections, including a relation to the Umbridge family. His son was just as lucky to get out unscathed, being one of the youngest Death Eaters at the time of the war. Salvador and his son, Emesto, were not only father and son, but best friends as well. At the time of his birth, Emesto's mother died due to a labor defection. Much like his father, he grew up to be cold, mean, and power-hungry. He took his place at the ministry as well, and became known as a 'womanizer' at any wizarding event. He slept around one too many times and managed to knock up one of his conquests. He didn't care much for the child, but once Peyton was born, the mother fled. Emesto begrudgingly took her in to live with him and her grandfather, but mainly left the care taking to a governess. Due to this, Peyton grew up in solitude, hardly seeing her father or grandfather. Both worked long hours at the Ministry, and liked to heavily drink when they were done. Although it isn't clear to her, the reason they are distant from her is due to their sexism. Neither men value a woman's purpose, unless it's sex or cooking. Peyton craves their approval, but they don't take her seriously and hardly acknowledge her when she's in the room. From a young age, she was taught only to speak when spoken to, and children were rather seen than heard. This rule very quickly applied to women as well. Peyton applied her emotions and passions towards reading and painting. Because of her family's distance, she distances herself from others as well. She can blend in when she's in the right mood, but a lot of the time she prefers her solitude. Both her father and grandfather were Slytherins when they went to school, but when Peyton finally was sorted, she was declared a Ravenclaw. She always wondered if that was because her mother was a Ravenclaw as well, but her father never spoke to her about her mother and got angry whenever she brought the topic up. Furthermore, being the first of the Selwyn line to not be a Slytherin was another reason for Peyton to be treated as a family disgrace. Although they were obtuse towards her, they still paid for mostly anything she could have wanted, so that she would stay out of their hair. This led to Peyton's first companion: Mr. Mustachio, her grey and white kitty. At home, she always has him following her around, and even at the castle, there isn't a very large amount of time where she isn't spending time with him. Since attending Hogwarts, Peyton has learned to socialize. She's still awkward at it, and it isn't her favorite thing to do. She's torn between her Slytherin background and her own, self-made personality. She doesn't know what she wants to be like, personality-wise, and she's almost an even amount of both sides.
