Three Several Random Facts:

• She taught herself to play guitar, after she found an old Acoustic guitar while out shopping one day and saved up to buy it on her own. Recently she has started to attempt to write a little music of her own. She finds playing music to be comforting when she's lost in her own thoughts and worries.
• Has wanted a pet of her own for years, but has yet to actually get one of her own. Instead she dotes on the pets of her friends, ensuring each animal has attention and care even when her friends are busy.
• Often Ylfa will take it upon herself to look out for the younger years, especially the first years - regardless of their house, she's always willing to help out if they get lost or need help. So much so that its not unusual to see her sitting somewhere with a first or second year, simply talking with them or comforting them if they feel a little home sick.
• Ylfa hates flying, while she can and will do so if she has little other choice. She hates the feeling of being so high up in the air with only a broom to cling onto. In her first year she fell during one of the first flying lessons, and she still very much associates flying with falling and still struggles to separate the fear, as such - she tries to avoid it, even rarely going to watch Quidditch matches do to the unease and worry it leaves her with, particularly if someone she cares about is flying around.
• While she has gotten a lot better at hiding it, Ylfa still has nightmares of what happened during and after the muggleborn festival. She wakes from these often crying and hates to admit that it still bothers her, while her birth parents had abandoned her in the aftermath, Ylfa was there and saw things that day.
•  As happy as she is now, considering herself fully as a Lupin and even referring to Teddy as her father, or 'Dad' - that feeling of hurt and that fear of abandonment still lingers.

Aspirations:

• She wants to do well in her OWLs year and make her Dad proud.
• She really wants to work on learning to become an Animagus. Has started looking at how to learn it, but its all just research for now as she knows it is not an easy thing to achieve and she is still young.
• Would like to one day teach others, its still an idea but - she's been thinking of what she wants to do when leaving school, due to it being her OWLs year its more in her mind than ever.

Thoughts on Blood Purism: Due to her own blood status and that of her adoptive fathers own, she very much is against Blood Purism and blood supremacy. More than once she has been known to wind up in a rant regarding how 'stupid' the whole thing is to still follow and believe in it.
Thoughts on the Government: While she is well aware that there are both good and bad, she believes there is still a lot of corruption - she doesn't like it, so tries to distant herself from most of the talk about it.

Roleplay Example:

The day so far, had been a good one, at least after breakfast it had turned around. Waking up had been a little of a struggle, having tossed and turned during the night, her mind had been restless after a brief bad dream that had caused her to wake up crying once more. But once the sun had risen, things had shifted - the day getting brighter and chasing away the bad dreams and thoughts with it.

It was the weekend, a day free of class - even if she did still have a little homework to work through, there was still time to work on it and finish it before it was due. Instead she wanted to spend some time with her friends, to have some fun that didn't involve opening up a book and the scratches of a quill on paper.

Now she found herself outside, enjoying the break from classes as she leaned back against a tree, her guitar resting on her lap - fingers lightly brushing against the strings. Nearby she heard the chatter and laughter of her friends, but for Ylfa - she was content to enjoy the sun peering through the trees and the comfort that came by being near those she cared about.
