A fourth year Ravenclaw at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Naia Bergren grew up in both the magical and muggle worlds, immersed in British and American politics, and waiting for something.
Naia is blasé – nothing impresses her when it comes to human emotion or folly. She’s experienced much of those extremes herself, and doesn’t tolerate undue drama in others. But at the same time she is utterly fascinated by what makes people tick – she is a people watcher, and you can often find her sitting in a hallway, watching and waiting.
Naia is looking for an adventure – her favorite subjects are Defense Against the Dark Arts (for obvious reasons), Potions (subtle and a good means to an end), Transfiguration (a ready tool for any adventurer), and Ancient Runes (secret code!). She is less fond of Herbology (watching plants grow, yech), and History of Magic (yeah, doomed to repeat it, but must one suffer through it three times?).
Naia is not the studious Ravenclaw, but rather the roving one – hungry for knowledge but knowing that knowledge is not always within books. She is searching for truth, and looks beyond her studies for it. She is well read – her father sends her clippings of muggle papers, and her mother discusses the happenings of the wizarding world. Newspapers cover every level surface in Naia’s home – and all sources are considered (some, at least, for the humor value).
Family
Naia is the only daughter of Kylie Mayfield-Bergren and Samson Bergren. She lives with them in their penthouse apartment in London.
Naia took after her mother, as a Ravenclaw, learning to read early. When she was five she took up the reading of Sherlock Holmes, which was only discovered by her parents when she began making “logical deductions” and talking about things being “elementary.” Naia has, from that point, had a keen mind for mystery.
Naia’s parents are politically savvy, and Naia struggles to live up to their example. But Naia is a little more cautious than her protesting parents – she feels that her best interests are better served by keeping quiet and watching things unfold. She would never act outright, but if she had the chance to act covertly... she wouldn’t hesitate.
The Mayfield Family is a long, old, pureblood family. Naia has two uncles, Thomas Mayfield, who died when she was seven, and Dylan Mayfield. Dylan's daughter Maxine Mayfield (she likes to be called Max) grew up with Naia in London, and and Thomas' son Colin was estranged because of Naia's aunt Corina Mayfield, who looked down on the half-blood cousins.
Friends
Naia met Lia Callahan the first night at Hogwarts when Naia observed the girl and asked if she was a dancer. It was the first time that one of Naia’s observations about a new person was correct, and she stuck to Lia like a burr. Luckily, the two became the best of friends.
Max and Naia get along really well for cousins, and tend to go on lots of adventures. In the summer of 2005, they gave Wizarding candy out to muggles and got in a lot of trouble.
Cody Nelson is one of Naia’s classmates – a 4th year Slytherin. They hang out in the summers, since he, Lia, and Naia all live in London. Naia and Cody are friendly, but not necessarily friends. Cody is good friends with Lia, and so (in a way) she is their common interest.
Colin Mayfield is Naia’s older cousin. They’re not particularly demonstrative, and you’d have to know either of them to know that they’re particularly close. Colin is protective of Naia, to say the least. She doesn’t always appreciate it, but she can’t stay mad at him for long.
Mackenzie Wickham is Colin’s girlfriend and Naia’s friend. They met through Colin’s father when they were young, and were reacquainted when Naia was a first year. They have a sort of Big Sister/Little Sister relationship, where Naia can go to the older girl to ask for advice and the like.
Amorisa Amherst is Naia’s adopted cousin, and Colin's godsister. They’re not really related – but Colin hovers over both of them, so they back each other up. (A girl has to have someone backing her up.) Naia and Amorisa played together a lot as children, and now they share their girly side talking about clothes, boys, and the other essentials of life.
