Tempest Black is a Slytherin 7th year. She has long, black/dark brown hair that is only ever highlighted from days spent in the sun. She is a little on the short side, and looks quite fragile. However, this notion is quickly dispelled by the icy coldness of her violet eyes and the speed with which she draws her wand on anyone who dares to try her patience. Stubborn, intemperate, and elitist, she recently returned to Hogwarts after an unexplained absence (as of this writing, she literally just showed up, covered in bruises and cuts, with no explanation as to where she's been or why her injuries won't heal by magic). She is clearly allied with the Death Eaters, but has never shown that she has a Dark Mark. She speaks Parseltongue, however, and her Animagus form is a black mamba (one of the quickest, most aggressive, and most venomous serpents in the world). Her status as a half-blood daughter of the Black family (father a Slytherin Black, mother a mudblood puff) is currently in question, and she has not yet seen fit to clarify it since her return to Hogwarts, although that could simply be because she is avoiding everyone to forestall awkward questions about her extensive injuries.
