Personality:

Savannah's a pretty mean person because she prefers to be a guarded person. She doesn't want a stranger to get to know her because in her head, she's just going to hurt them with her bad luck. So to prevent this from happening, she'll act antagonistic to you. But if you catch her on one of her 'good days', when the voices in her head are quieter, she's more likely to tell you that you shouldn't be around her instead of making you leave.

To people she's close to, she'll show a different side of herself to. She's outgoing, and deeply cares about the people in her life that she can't get rid of, either because she won't or because they won't let her. She can be rather sweet to some people, but won't let even her best friend in on everything that goes on in her life.

Overall history:

Savannah was born on November 26th in London, England to Julie and Scott Lerran. Her first few years of life were peaceful, and she was happy child. But the summer before first year, Savannah was camping with her father in the Forest of Dean when he was suddenly pulled underwater and drowned to death, which Savannah witnessed. This event shocked the eleven year old, who then vowed not to get close to anyone again, though that promise was broken in her first year when she met and befriended a second year Hufflepuff named J. J. Jones, who became her best friend.

She also met a vampire named Rosie, who became her mentor. But during October, JJ was attacked by a pair of Durmstrang twins, who Savannah vowed to find and make pay for what they'd done. But that was put on hold when Savannah was kidnapped by the crow. However, she was able to find out the names of the girls from a kidnapped Durmstrang. Soon after returning back to Hogwarts once she was rescued, the voices began. The first voice was one named Ava, who told her that all the terrible things that occurred to the people around Savannah was all her fault because of her bad luck.

And the Gryffindor believed him. She spent the next few months absolutely grief stricken that she was ruining - even killing - people, and all those swirling motions cultivated into a breakdown in the prefects bathroom during her second year. On her birthday that year, her cat, Ross was killed by the Whomping Willow, practically destroying the girl's psyche, who was also injured by the tree. On that day, a second voice began. This voice was named Honey, and was kind and caring to Savannah.

For the rest of her second year, she was quiet, rather reserved. But she was happy. Because after Ross' death, nothing else bad happened to anyone. Of course, she mourned the death of her beloved cat, but she slowly managed to move on. Before the beginning of her third year of magical education, she became obsessed with the idea of owning a dragon. She was slowly beginning to delve into more madness. Buying a dragon that she affectionately named Dia, her life was going good.

And then, days after returning to school after Christmas, she destroyed the Gryffindor common room in an episodic fit. But just like that, she was back to normal.

It's only a matter of time, really for her to completely break down.
