Kamari is a smart girl, taking on her father’s genius with a firm grasp and striving to do her best. This leads to her over-reaching at times, ending up tired and somewhat cranky; once in a groove, she won’t get out of it because she feels the need to finish a project once it's started. Often, she finds herself trying to think of new ideas -- something completely unique and unseen before. But, a lot of the time, that’s met with failure. This doesn’t deter her from trying harder, however; Kamari is always determined to get back up and try again.

She’s confident in herself and her friends, always cheering them on or helping them where she can to achieve their goals -- which leads to strong bonds that she cherishes above all others. Because of these bonds, she’s not afraid to stand up to anyone that would say a negative word toward her or her friends.

She tries to see all sides of an argument, and has taken her father’s words to heart -- she can be angry for a maximum of two days before an apology or resolution. This was something her father taught her, which stuck not just for family but for friends too, leading her to be forgiving and gracious when the need arises.

Open, accepting, playful, and genuine, Kamari strives to be the best she can be -- to make her family proud, and to achieve the highest marks possible. Driven by success and acceptance, Kamari is focused and goal-oriented, with a solid plan in mind: she will take over the family business when she’s old enough to do so. She enjoys harmless pranks on her sister and friends, coming up with new ways to make people laugh or think.

She loves to try new things, go new places, or just experience what life has to offer. She enjoys smelling new scents or trying new foods. She loves bright, flowing colors, and excitement. The books she reads are beautiful works of art, yes, but to truly experience a place is something else entirely. She has been blessed to be able to do that, by traveling with her parents and seeing true adventure -- she tends to romanticize experiences above most other things. A handmade gift is nice, of course, but an adventure is what sets her heart aflutter.

Kamari is well known to the public and aware of it -- walking with poise, and doing nothing to spark shame on the Sagemore name. She understands the name is important, and the public eye does seek her out more often than she’d like.

When in the spotlight Kamari is formal, polite, and smiles when she’s told to. The picture of a well-behaved girl, she pulls the mask on flawlessly -- pretending to have no issues when she does, answering in short, honest responses, and generally being the picture of the well behaved Sagemore heir. There are none that could complain about her upbringing or actions.
Born to a family of traveling toymakers, Kamari Sagemore was born with not only a well-known last name among the Wizarding World, but also expectations for greatness. Her father, Zareb, was (and still is) her idol! Smart, and strong, and kind... he was the kind of person she wanted to be when she grew up.

Kamari spent a lot of her time learning and exploring and, by the time she was two, she even had a little sister to play with.

They traveled the world together -- their home easily packed up and taken with them. The tent was close to nature, allowing her the freedom to explore and grow. Together with her family, Kamari was just excited to see the sights and learn the world around her. It was an opportunity, she'd learn later, that was not entirely normal.

Uninhibited by the strict confines of normal life, Kamari was allowed to be herself in private. A wild, entertaining little thing that was always striving forward, enjoying the process of learning how things worked, and watching her parents make their toys and learn their magics -- even going so far as to learning Muggle card tricks from her father, as a way to pass the time.

When she was five, her mother died. She doesn't remember much of the details, only that she and her sister had wandered too far from camp. A creature made of fire and bear-like had come hurdling from the brush, but their mother and aunt saved them. But the cost of their lives was their mother's in return. But, because of her age at the time, she feels like there was a time when this brilliant light was there... then gone.

Things changed after that. They were watched closer, and moved in with her aunt's friend that was very kind with them.

Irene was a source of fun for her. Kamari enjoyed the time she spent with the woman, and loved her stories and excitement for life -- it made the transition easier, made the hurt fade and, eventually, when she married Kamari's Papa two years later, she couldn't have been happier.

Kamari never forgot her mother. In fact, she would tell her sister the stories she could remember. Often she'd ask her aunt about her, try to learn as many stories as she could... but she'd never ask Papa. She didn't want to hurt him.

Life was a series of adventures. She never knew where they'd be from one day to the next -- never had a set routine, but still they thrived. Mama told them stories about Hogwarts, what it was like, and how the castle worked -- and Kamari drank it all in. She was excited for the future, for a place where she could spread her wings further than they already were.

Even if she was sad to leave her family -- when she boarded the train to Hogwarts, she was pictured with a smile (despite the attentive crowd who recognised her), waving goodbye to her parents and sister and aunt.

Her first and second years were spent mostly trying to figure out how to fit in. She wanted so badly to make friends and be seen, but had the stigma of her public appearance to hold onto. It took her a long time to learn and adjust but, by the time her third year rolled around, she got hang of it.

Her third year was spent exploring more of herself -- learning and growing into who Kamari wanted to be. She made some friends, was more herself outside of the public eye, and opted to skip Hogsmeade until she learned how to navigate it.

Now, in her fourth year, she feels like it’s time to embrace the changes and step out into the world as herself… or mostly, as much herself as she can be while still providing the wonderful Sagemore appearance.
