April's greatest memory was on the day she first learnt to surf, with her father when she was 7. She was surfing at North Curl Curl with her father in Australia, where she was born and after about half an hour of getting used to the board, she stood up, and she has never felt so happy in her life.
Personality: April is a very quirky and interesting character. She takes on her father's traits of intellect and creativity and passion for the simpler things in life. She is someone who would much rather spend her days lying on a beach somewhere exotic in the world or skateboarding down a market lane in north of Argentina than doing anything in the city. April has a keen interest in travel and culture and she loves to experience new things. Her plan for her life is to have no plans at all and she simply 'goes with the flow'. She loves to skateboard and surf in her spare time and meet new people, smoking by a fire in Spain or climbing a tree in Brazil. She is a bit of a 'tom boy' although she does like to wear the occasional op-shop vintage dress. She often uses her good looks to charm her way into getting what she wants.
April is an extremely stubborn person, and she does not take anything from anybody. She is very sure of herself and knows what she is capable of and will not let anybody else take that away from her. She often supports radical movements and takes on many projects to improve the materialistic society around her. April is a Half-blood, so she has great support for muggles and enjoys much of the muggle world more than the wizarding world. She is an intellectual person that believes in equality and peace.
April, being a Ravenclaw is very clever. She is almost always correcting her peers or arguing with someone, winning, a lot of the time, because of her immense vocabulary and strive for success. She may come across as a control freak, but that is only when the situation is important. April can be loud and obnoxious when dealing with important issues, but most of the time she is apathetic about life's simple dramas and spends most of her days relaxing, skateboarding and surfing and just forgetting about the world.

History: Adriana Rojas was born in Argentina. She lived most of her life in the South American country in the city of Mar De Plata, as her family owned a quiet beach-side hotel that was a well known home to weary travelers amongst the tourist city. Adriana worked for her family in the city from a young age, and was only schooled to the age of fifteen before she was send to a homemakers college to learn the domestic arts.
Reginald, or Reggie, Daze was an Australian wizard who lived in Sydney, Australia until he was about twenty years of age. After working for most of his teenage life at a surf shop on Sydney's Northern Beaches he gained enough money to travel the world. He planned to spend only a week in Argentina, in the beach city of Mar De Plata, but he found a girl, a girl 4 years younger than he and of extreme beauty and grace. Reggie loved her from the moment he saw her, but she only knew little English. Reggie stayed for a month trying to woo the young girl and it was only when Adriana was fired from her hotel cleaning career that she begged Reggie to take her with him on his journey, to the UK where he was off to next.
The two went on the UK, fell in love and lived 3 years in London. Adriana took up a cleaning job but also painted on the side and tried to sell her artwork - she was a keen artist. Reggie joined the ministry of magic in the UK in a department that affiliated with magical ministries in other countries - International affairs. This allowed him to take his career anywhere in the world. After this period, when they were married and Adriana fell pregnant, with her daughter, April. They moved to Australia to have their child.
When April turned 10, they then moved to Argentina for about 6 years, until April was 16 years old.
April begun attending a magical school in Buenos Ares in Argentina from the age of 11. She enjoyed school, and was top of her year in almost every subject. although she did have some difficulties in the beginning because she had to learn Spanish to communicate easier. April and her father took Spanish lessons at a muggle institute because he had to learn the language for his career also. April was angry that her father wanted to move back to the UK, where he and Adriana were married and fell pregnant, but she has come to accept it, and has just joined her 6th year at Hogwarts just before the summer break.
