-How I act-
Personality: Khyana has and always will be a free spirit. She is bright, bubbly and never dull to be around. Rest assured, if there’s some kind of commotion going on, you’re likely to find her at the centre of it. That’s not to say she’s one to break rules, but rather, be the first to test any ‘unwritten’ boundaries.
To her students, Khyana has been a sort of substitute mother; always there to talk to and advise without feeling worried that she may rat you out to your Head of House or the Headmaster. Whether it be relationship troubles, academic concerns or you just need to vent, Khyana’s door is always open… well, unless she’s already preoccupied with another student.
Khyana has often been accused of having a very ‘progressive’ view of the world. She hates labels, refuses to be called ‘Professor’ by her students and will offer an automatic detention to anyone who dare mutter a word of Blood status within her presence. She supports any form of diversity, or cause that deals with inequality. Give her a subject, the more controversial the better, and you’re almost certain to get a blunt but positively supportive response.
All in all, there are plenty of adjectives to describe Khyana’s personality. But like all humanoids, Khyana is the sum of her socialization experiences. Her compassion and unwavering sense of morality are merely the two traits she values most, both in herself and on others.
-History-
Born, raised and married in Kenya, Mteremeshi and Akintunde Oseye moved to Muggle London to find a new start. Three years after they moved, once Akintunde had settled into his new position as an Aura for the English Ministry of Magic, and two unfortunate miscarriages, Mteremeshi gave birth to their first child, Khyana. It was not until another five years after Khyana’s birth that Mteremeshi and Akintunde tried again for a baby. After three years of disappointment and determination, Kenya, their child named for the homeland they missed, was born. Khyana was instantly taken with the child, spending every possible moment observing and codling the sweet creature when she was not enraptured in the lectures and tutoring her father instilled upon the youngling.
Her childhood was perfectly normal for any half-blood Witch she supposed. Until the age of eleven, when Khyana received her letter of acceptance from Hogwarts, her father homeschooled the child to make sure she was at a decent literacy, numeracy and academic level to withstand and interpret the material she would be exposed to at an institutionalized school correctly. Understanding the cultural differences and difficulties his child would face, Akintunde made sure Khyana (and later Kenya) were both able to comprehend English, but also speak in their native tongue.
Her first year at Hogwarts was difficult, as it always is for a youngling who does not have previous ties to the other children attending the school. Khyana had never been away from home for more than a day at most, and as loathed as she would be to admit it, Khyana was not very brave about the matter. She spent hours in the library composing letters to her father begging him to let her come home, to let her be homeschooled. But being the strict but rational man he was, Akintunde decided his daughter would settle down in time and realize the necessity of her education.
Truth be told, a month after arriving Khyana began to make friends. They started small at first, a girl she sat with at lunch, a boy she talked to in Care for Magical Creatures who shared her passion for reading and Muggle History, and another boy who liked to spend time in the libraries in her house. Slowly, after her first three years at Hogwarts, Khyana became the girl everyone seemed to know at very least, as an acquaintance. She was not difficult to get along with, ready to adapt her behavior in slight ways as to please her companions, yet bravely facing the consequences of holding the courage of her convictions.
It wasn’t until Khyana turned fifteen however, after receiving Professor Porter as her fifth year History of Magic teacher, that she was certain she wanted to become a teacher. He encouraged the children to converse with one another and study together instead of alone to obtain an answer. He took an interest in her personal life, saw students after class to make sure they were up to date on their work, and after six months of following his advice, Khyana realized how much she enjoyed not only finding the answers, but showing them to others who were genuinely intent on understanding what she was trying to communicate.
Graduation was what it always was, a wash of tears and frantic goodbyes, promises to keep in touch and a collective fear for what lay ahead. Strangely, Khyana keep true to her promises, writing the friends she had left once a week, even to this day. For Khyana, graduation marked both the beginning and the end of her life: the end of what she was, and the beginning of what she wanted to become.
At the age of nineteen, as she spent her first year at the ‘South African Higher Education Institution for Witches and Wizards’ obtaining the qualifications necessary to become a fully qualified Professor, Khyana met Graham Smith. It was a chance encounter, a few too many drinks at a Muggle pub and a few too many glances her way, the two began to flirt. He was a tall, dark man. Intelligent for a Muggle she supposed and strangely charismatic. Graham had been the perfect gentleman, but when she woke in the morning to find him missing, she realized he was the perfect fantasy as well. Five weeks later, it was confirmed that Khyana was pregnant. She took an immediate leave of absence from school, and as all children do, went running back to the safety of her childhood home and her supposedly supportive parents. When she arrived, however, and told them what had happened, Akintunde attempted to convince Khyana to opt for an abortion. Khyana, being the strong headed, determined woman that she was, refused, causing Akintunde to promptly disown his first child and kicked the woman out of his home.
It was then that Khyana turned to the one person she knew she could count on: Professor Porter. Curiously enough, Professor Porter welcomed the girl into his home without question, set her up with a room and began to contact friends in South Africa with floo networks close to Khyana’s school. He knew for a fact Khyana was no fan of apperating. It was not until a few years later, after little Ilyana was born and Khyana had finished her Mastery that Professor Porter admitted his hidden talent for Divination. Having no children of his own, Professor Porter, or Theodor, asked Khyana to live with him as a permanent agreement. Khyana agreed, after all, she had no family to turn to and no father to help raise her child.
In 2035, just as Ilyana turned six, Khyana was added to the teaching staff of Hogwarts as the Professor of Charms. Because of his wealth, while Khyana and he were off teaching, Ilyana was taken care of by hired help. Though, some days, late at night, Khyana and Theodor would apperated back to their home in Muggle London to see the darling child, but that was never openly discussed.
As time went on, Khyana became fairly popular as a teacher, more so amongst the students than her fellow teachers that is. Rumors circulated once, unproven as most rumors are, that Khyana had been ‘counseling’ a young homosexual boy who was concerned for the difficulties associated with ‘coming out’, as it were. Supposedly, Khyana supported the boy in his orientation and even gave him tips as to how to make his feelings towards certain other people known. Though she will never utter the name, if there were one, those who have asked if she supports homosexuality have received the blunt answer: “I believe in accepting anyone regardless of their sexuality. Why should I lower myself by questioning or thinking less of another merely because their views aren’t perfectly in accordance with the societal norm, child? Anyone who would do such a thing obviously isn’t worth my time answering”. Other rumors have stated that Khyana once handed out certain Muggle sexual health related items while teaching at Hogwarts, despite the schools unwritten view and policy on sexual behavior. Whether the Headmaster did not believe the rumors, or merely chose to look the other way, no one is quite certain. Perhaps the only people to know the truth would be Khyana and the Headmaster of that time, but no one has yet to brave the question.
For Khyana and Theodor, one of the happiest days of their lives was the day Ilyana came to study at Hogwarts. No longer did they need to leave school grounds to see her, nor did they have to be absent from her life for lengthy periods of time. No, now they could watch over her every minute of the day, if that was what they wished.
For now, Khyana is happy and secure within her position. She loves her job, loves her child and loves her life. Why mess with that system now?
