DESCRIPTION:Ena's beauty is striking but unconventional. She has flawlessly smooth skin, high cheek bones and dark eyes that sparkle when she smiles. The woman is proportioned well and her long, lean limbs suit her very well. Her hair is extremely short which draws more attention to her face, normally accented with bold make up. The woman is drawn to luxurious fabrics in bright patterns, be it witches robes or high fashion muggle dresses.

GENERAL PERSONALITY: Ena is as bright and vibrant as they come. The woman is known to laugh loudly and often and is rarely seen without a smile on her face. She wants to be a part of everything and will often join in conversations she overhears. Not much can get her down as she is eternally optimistic and likes to look at the bright side of things. Things like injustice and unfairness will provoke her temper, which is fierce and hot. She will quickly defend those she feels needs it, especially if they are close to her. Ena likes her comfort and enjoys luxurious things and puts great effort into her appearance. Others consider her high maintenance both for her expensive taste and her insistence on getting her way. Ena is not above pushing people's buttons in such a way that will make them more inclined to do what she wants them to do.

When particularly emotional she will revert back into her native Swahili although she and her brother speak decent English. Ena likes to be up on trends and has openly embraced the use of wands, even before they departed from London.

Character History: Ena is the oldest of only two children born into a magical community in Kenya. Her mother was a healer and her father was a well respected and high ranking politician within the African magical world. The family was well off and her parents could afford to give their children a taste of the finer things in life. Ena embraced this and grew into the princess that she is today although she was much worse in her younger years. Like all children in the African magical community, Ena recieved her acceptance into Uagadou via a dream messenger and was disappointed that the token left behind was something as unspectacular as a stone.  

Makena did well in school. She was humbled by her experiences there after learning that many of her classmates came from very poor walks of life. One such person was a boy a year older than her, Aje Odili. The two became good friends after she told off a pair of students who were making fun of Aje's tattered second hand books and even went as far as to buy him a new set of books by owl order with her own pocket money, attesting to the fact that her heart was good when it wasn't distracted by things that glittered. A year before graduation, her father was assassinated in a political coup and shortly after her mother fell ill and died, having contracted something from one of her patients who had brought a mysterious magical bug from Asia. The siblings grew closer, having no one left in the world but each other. 

She was very disappointed when Aje left to play Quidditch in the UK. They kept in touch, Ena expressing concern over Aje's wellbeing and the current events in the European wizarding world. The African magical world had it's own problems, but none on the same scale as Voldemort. Recently Aje returned to seek help for the secret organization he was a part of, claiming that he needed people that he and his Order could depend on who possessed helpful skills. Ena is an animagus but also proficient at beauty charms and self transfiguration, allowing her to help conceal her identity, something Aje convinced the others would be useful in trying to infiltrate or spy on the Death Eaters. 

Ena was intrigued and excited by the whole thing and agreed to it immediately on the condition that Tau could come as well. She didn't want him to participate in the Order but she couldn't leave him behind on his own, either.
