dementor:

• when kinsley was young she loved to go outside and explore places when her parents weren't paying full attention to her. one such time, at the age of nine, kinsley set her sights on a particularly large tree not too far from her house. she was determined to climb to the very top of it; however, before she could even get halfway up she ran into a problem: the nest of a very territorial mother crow. the bird attacked kinsley and in her attempt to escape the creature, the young girl ended up falling out of the tree and breaking her right arm.

boggart:

• after said accident kinsley gained a fear of birds, which lasted for several years. until the age of sixteen her boggart had been a swarm of crows - after that age her boggart changed, though, since she got over her fear. her current boggart would take the form of a shroud of dark mist slowly closing in on her, as she also happens to be severely claustrophobic.

veritaserum

• she's developed a pretty bad drinking problem over the past year. she hides it extremely well, so not even her parents or colleagues are aware of it. she's afraid of losing control and people finding out but she's also too prideful to go to anyone for help.
• although she loves interacting with and helping people, kinsley has never really had many friends. she finds it nearly impossible to trust people and let them get close enough to her for them to ever become anything more than just some person she knows.

history: kinsley led a normal, muggle-esque lifestyle. her father knew that her mother was a witch, but there was hardly any sign of magic in the household. kinsley didn't show many signs of taking after her mother, nor did she show interest in the possibility of being magic when she was young. instead she liked to play in the dirt and participate in sports with her peers. her parents thought that she was going to end up without magical abilities until she received her hogwarts letter at the age of eleven. kinsley wasn't particularly thrilled to go, honestly, but she was determined to make the best of it and do her parents proud.

once at hogwarts, she was sorted into hufflepuff. she was an exemplary student and got along with her classmates, but if asked about school kinsley never has much to say on the topic - simply because, well, she never felt a connection to the magical world or, more importantly, her peers. during her sixth year she decided to try a different things to try and click with her classmates in the hopes of actually becoming close with people. chief among these methods were going to parties and drinking firewhiskey people had smuggled into the school. though she never spiraled out of control and managed to keep her grades high, this was the beginning of kinsley's problematic lifestyle.

ever after she graduated she continued to party and drink even though it had never accomplished much for her in the past. however, she also kept her life from descending into ruin by joining the ministry of magic. her people skills and superb o.w.l.'s and n.e.w.t.'s allowed her to get her job in the department of international magical cooperation. kinsley chose this department simply because it seemed like a branch of the government where she could really make a difference and help people. more importantly, she hopes that working there will help her understand her own personal problems with being unable to let people get close to her.
