general appearance
Like her father, she has olive skin, dark hair that is very wavy, and a fair amount of height. From her mother, she got somewhat lighter eyes, high cheekbones, and very expressive eyebrows. Both gave her scatterings of moles on her body, one arm half an inch longer than the other, bony knees, and a high metabolism. (due to the latter, she often looks fragile, much as she tries to work out to give herself more definition).
She stands three inches shy of six feet, with a mouth as disposed to scowls as it is to smiles.
Typically, she stands self-confidently.

character history
What are you to do when your daughter gets in a fight at Hebrew School and the other girl's thrown across the room and gets stuck in the air?
Well, you speak to the principal of the Sunday school, agree to ground her for. . .something, and speak to your rabbi, because someone who (probably) believes in a higher power can't think you're crazy. Eventually, the rabbi knows another rabbi who works with a cantor who has a sister-in-law who grew up with someone who knows what's going on.
Ayelet Rivka Azoulay was born to Lihi Azoulay and Avri Azoulay, named for a relative who died in the Holocaust. She grew up in Barcelona, where her little acts of magic were brushed off as things merely being odd around her. After all, if you don't know what to look for, how could you find it? Magic finally exploded out of her in a way not easily explained when she was nearly ten, sending both Ministry officials and well-meaning Jewish mages to her home, once they heard of her. Ayelet's parents listened reluctantly, once they accepted that: no, they were not being "punk'd".
The larger choices for schools was explained to the-- Beauxbatons in France, which typically accepted students in Spain at the age of eleven-- and the many smaller Jewish schools scattered around the Continent, and the schools in Israel. Her parents preferred her closer to home, and Lihi's parents, though intensely skeptical and wary, would prefer Ayelet to attend a more religious school-- so Kriaturas de Endor Yeshiva was agreed upon. Ayelet would start it in a few months, when the school opened up again in the summer.
Kriaturas de Endor Yeshiva was a fairly new school conspired to other schools of magic, less than one hundred years old, women-only, and never had more than seventy-five students attending at any time. It was located near the Old Main Synagogue, and taught for eight years, rather than the traditional seven. Typically girls would attend the day before their tenth birthday, but if someone was born past May, their date of beginning would be the start of school in September, and they would graduate either the day before their eighteenth birthday or at the end of the year if their birthday was in the summer.
So Ayelet began her magical schooling later that year, nervous about how little she knew about the magical Jewish community. After all, there weren't many books, and everything was mostly word-of-mouth. As she started, she found that she was warmly accepted, her non-magical heritage acknowledged and celebrated. In most Jewish communities-- especially the type that sent their children to nonsecular schools-- Judaism mattered more than length of magical bloodline. They were all related somewhere along the lines, after all, and they needed to cling together.
The Yeshiva mainly focused on wandless magic, and to her great fear, Ayelet found out that she could no longer gesture as freely with her hands as before, as now she'd end up turning someone's ear purple, jinxing off their hair, or sending them through a wall in what was either meant to be a friendly debate or a conversation between friends. Luckily, she wasn't the only one, and all the other girls in their first year of schooling, even ones with long magical backgrounds struggled the same amount as she did. The Infirmity was often kept full with the girls in their first and second years of schooling, though luckily few of the magical accidents caused harm that lasted beyond a night.
They often learned in study pairs, and they would change every year or so. Ayelet's first chavruta (as they were called) was with another girl named Shiraz Shwartz. They were a well-matched pair-- Shiraz had experience in the magical community and the regular community, being born to a magical mother and a non-magical father. Where Ayelet was quiet in class, Shiraz would encourage her to raise her voice, and where Shiraz would struggle with Ladino and Yiddish, Ayelet would help her with the spells. The two became fast friends, and when it was time for the school year Maccabiah, Shiraz and Ayelet did the best in the First year section, helping to lead their team to victory. (partially, at least, and they later lost when it came out that Leah Goldberg and Nicole Haroche had jinxed the gaga pit to favor their own team)
Ayelet "became a woman" (had a Bat Mitzvah, not the other type yet) at the end of August in 2009, where, in accordance to the traditions of the school, her year, and the years above and below were invited, as well as many of her non-magical friends. As she finished up her Fourth year, her class moved on from Cheder to Metivta and they were offered the chance to learn magic with wands outside of normal schooling hours. Most girls refused, though Ayelet decided to try. She shortly found herself regretting her choice, as the curriculum increased and study of Kabbalaic spells and Gematria was added to the curriculum, as well as an increased focus on philosophy.
By this time, she was doing as well as anyone in the school wandlessly, and to force her magic into an alien object-- acacia and shed broxa feather-- was a struggle. She still persisted with it, having chosen to do it. Shiraz started playing in a training camp for Quidditch players, as their school did not have the option to. She also participated in the biannual get-together her school had with the closest magical Madrasa, and the dances with brother school from across the city.
In her Fifth year, at the age of fourteen, her low metabolism began catching up to her, and her blood sugar suffered for it. Ayelet took potions as needed, trying her best to take care of herself, and her body. She kept a an eye on her heartbeat as well-- she'd found out it was irregular.
In the Seventh year, which was completely non-magical, Shiraz snuck out of the school to celebrate Purim on her own, and came back both drunk and with a tattoo. While the first part was normal-- it was Purim, after all, and everyone drank after their bat mitzvah-- the tattoo (a chai in a hamsa on her ribcage) was unexpected. While covering her shock about the normally-well-behaved Shiraz acting out in such a way, Shiraz leaned over and kissed her.
Ayelet avoided her friend for the next few weeks, fighting the sudden panic and anxiety, and hiding the fact that she'd liked it. During Passover the next month, she seized the moment, and decided to kiss Shiraz herself. Tt ought be be noted she was on her fourth cup of Manischewitz at the time, and for her, that was rather a lot. But anyway, Shiraz kissed back, and they began a closeted relationship, keeping it hidden from friends, family, and teachers.
They continued the relationship in their (magical again) eighth year, and Ayelet began accepting herself more. After their final exams, those who were left in her year talked about their futures for hours, and gossiped-- who would be going to Israel, who would be staying in Spain, who'd found a Nice Jewish Boy to marry, who was traveling the world. They left the Yeshiva as a group, dizzily content with companionship. It was one of the best nights of Ayelet's life.
Then she talked to Shiraz the next day. She'd thought Shiraz had liked her, like how she liked Shiraz.
When, however, she'd proposed and tried to plan a romantic week for the two of them, the other girl had stared at her, aghast, and quickly explained it had been just "a schooltime thing, just some fun" and "don't tell me you took it seriously". The encounter humiliated Ayelet, and she lashed out in turn, calling her once-friend filthy names, insinuating things about her, and cursing her. She spent the next few months holed up with her parents, barely seeing friends. When one came by to visit, and mentioned in passing Shiraz had been signed to play reserve on a Spanish Quidditch team, Ayelet knew she had to leave Spain to avoid Shiraz.
Her first thought was Israel, but Ayelet was eighteen, and had heard her father explain that it was one thing to die for your country, and quite another thing to kill for it. Besides, Shiraz was sure to visit one day, so Israel was out. She then decided to throw a thumbtack at a map, and move to where it hit, as long as she could be safe there. The first tack, thrown wandlessly and with her eyes closed, landed precisely in the middle of Australia. As she had heard of the foot-long spiders, she decided that would not be an option, and tried again.
Her second throw landed near the UK-- well, between Iceland and Norway, which she figured was close enough.She spoke English, and the Minister there was known for being tough on those who had killed first-generation mages, so she decided to move there. It took further months to pack, tell her family, and move, but once she arrived, Jewish Geography saved her. There were some distant (she wasn't quite sure if she was related to them, or they were relatives of someone's friend) people who helped her get on her feet, and find an apartment.

family history
Avri Azoulay was born in Haifa, Israel, the secondchild of a Moroccan couple who had made aliyot to Israel shortly after it became a state. The couple settled in much as they could into a community of mixed Mizrahzi and Sephardi, where they could keep themselves separate in a way, from the Ashkenazi who had started coming in even greater waves, many of them scarred by the Holocaust. In the time between his birth and his conscription into the IDF, there were few years that Israel was not in one war or another to continue its statehood. Like all youth his age, Avri knew he would be serving his three years in the IDF, after which he would be in reserve in case when it would be required he serve again.
Avri enjoyed the training, making close and fast friends. When it was time for the fighting (as there were several wars going on), he found out that though he wanted to fight for what he saw as his homeland's survival, to fight someone else for what they saw as their homeland as well was almost more than he could do. Some of his friends moved up the ranks, and Avri did his best to stay down. He didn't like to fight, and as soon as his inscription was up, he left Israel for the land his other ancestors grew in, to try a find a place that did not require shedding other's blood to protect themselves.
Lihi Cohen i Levi was the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, one from the camps, and one who had hid in houses and apartments from Nazis. As soon as they could, they tried to settle in Kielce, Poland, only to flee a pogram. They moved further west into Russia, traveling to be with distant relatives, only to find Russian Jews were fleeing antisemitism of their own. Their ancestors had survived pograms, but they did not want to face another one. They did not have enough money to leave Europe, so they smuggled themselves into boats headed for Spain, where they raised a family.
Lihi was born in 1965, named for a great-grandmother, and raised in a Conservative family. By this time, her family had accumulated enough wealth to be considered comfortably middle-class, thanks to her mother's Levi family owning a butcher shop. She was infected with wanderlust, wanting to explore worlds that she was unfamiliar with, and it was during one of her trips that she met Avri.
If you asked Avri, it was love at first sight. If you asked Lihi, it was far more complicated, and she had to shake off a boyfriend before she even noticed her tour guide. Whatever it was, Avri wrote to his parents that he'd met someone, and brought her to Israel to meet his parents for a short period of time. In that time, Lihi wrote to her parents, who were wary of Lihi's new boyfriend, who was not Ashkenazi, or, more importantly, a Cohen or Levite. Avri's parents were also skeptical of Avri's girlfriend, as they were now somewhat experienced in racism in Israel, and were worried that Lihi would turn her face at her parents' disapproval.
Despite concerns from both parents, Avri and Lihi married, and Avri moved up to Spain, where he could be sure he would not have to serve in the military again. The couple had four children, and when their youngest daughter turned out to be a witch, they sent her off to schooling.
