---

The little Princess of the Lestrange family. Wizarding royalty finally had the little Princess they'd desperately wanted. Cordial, sweet, smiling. She was everything she was supposed to be. Her brothers ran amuck while she was dotted on. Se had a sister, too, but she was a tantrum throwing pain in everyone's arse and was often sent to the help to be dealt with. Growing up Demona knew that she was supposed to be nothing like her sister. Helley was everything a Lestrange should not be. Demona disliked having to have lessons with her older sister but she loved showing her up, being better than her at everything they did. At the age of seven with an adder in the garden, Demona discovered she was a parseltounge, she'd convinced the snake to chase her brothers around the garden and formed a friendship with the snake up until she cut its head off after an argument.

At the age of 11, Demona was off to Hogwarts where she quickly reinvented herself. While her parents still gave her the nickname of Demona, she decided to go by D, just D. She was called to the Sorting hat and sorted into Slytherin - as if there was any other option for a Lestrange. She'd rather head home in shame than be put into any other house. Her cousin joined her in Slytherin and together they had the best time, judging, bitching, and all round having fun at the expense of others - all behind their backs, of course.

Thanks to her marvellous upbringing, Hogwarts was a breeze for D. She always did well in her school work and was told on more than one occasion that her wand work was exquisite. She loved getting praise and strived to be the best of every class. Despite being quite egocentric D made quite a few friends - but only purebloods. She wasn't the sort to mix with others but if she was paired with a half-blood - or Morgana forbid - a muggleborn, then she got along charmingly with them and then at the end of the school day she would scrub herself clean.

In her fifth year, at no surprise to D, she was made Prefect. She did exceptionally in her OWLs and when her Hogwarts letter came for her Seventh year, stating she would once again be Prefect, she let her fiery temper get the better of her. She was furious, incensed. How in the name of Merlin was she not Head Girl?! She demanded her daddy do something about it but he told her there was nothing he could do and he took an unusually strong stance on that. If D didn't have him so tightly wrapped around her little finger then she could have been intimidated by the man, even scared of him. As it was she just pouted and stormed off, setting fire to his antique collection of scrolls in his office, much to his frustrations.

Her seventh year cam and went. She was outwardly bitter toward the Head Girl and contradicted her at every turn he could reasonably do so. She called her intelligence into question multiple times and got herself into what she called 'heated verbal discussions' with regards to certain matters. Not being the best stung and to this day she's still not over the injustice of it all, nor that her father wouldn't kill the silly witch so she could have the position. At least it gave D a goal. She started focusing on Legilimency, wanting to learn all about people, wanting to be able to read their dirtiest thoughts, their deepest desires. Over the Christmas she demanded from her father a tutor for the subject and she met with him once a month on Hogsmeade weekends.

After graduation D's family wanted to marry her off, match her to the Carrow man her father was supposed to have married her sister off to, but she didn't like that, not at all. He was far too old for her, in her opinion, and not nearly stately enough. She wanted a rich husband, one that was attractive, too, and one that was closer to her in age. She's not concerned with the marriage law. She's gone so far without being matched and she knows if she's ever matched then her daddy will just have the person taken care of, so she doesn't give a hoot. Living her best life, D spends her days shopping, socialising, and enjoying her hobbies. There's a little pressure from her father to find a suitable husband ... okay, a lot of pressure, and she's beginning to think that she can't placate him for much longer.
