Backstory

I've never come to know my parents. Frankly, I don’t even know their names. Shortly after the Battle of Hogwarts, I was born - although I'll never be able to find an exact explanation of how I came to the doorstep of a wealthy, Muggle family. This family decided to take me in as a charity case, and plastered my struggle around for the entire world to see.

As I grew into my abilities, they quickly realized the limelight I once shone in was no longer an option. The family who took me in quickly began to shut me out. This is how I came to be the Ravenclaw I am today. As soon as I could manage to get myself to a Library, or my hands on a new book - I devoured it. Although, I must admit, Muggle books are nothing in comparison to books the magical world has to offer.


Receiving my letter to Hogwarts, I must admit I was a bit uneasy. Before that moment, I had no idea this entire other world existed. Of course, the explosive china and floating furniture from time to time proved to me that this world was not just a bunch of 'hocus pocus'. I showed my adoptive mother this letter, and I could see the light in her eyes. They'd be free of me more often than not. She didn't seem to care of the viability of the school, or why she had never heard its name.

Alone, I traveled from the United States over to England, where I met an estranged family member - of my birth family. I to this day am not sure how my adoptive family came into contact with my aunt… But, meeting with her provided not all, but many answers to my questions. She also showed me the way of Diagon Alley, and how to access it in case we ever became separated.

Ecstatic, I was, to buy my first wand, cauldron, and everything in between. While shopping around, I met many new students. Some, much nicer than others - After the sorting ceremony, I could easily understand why a few of those strangers would be immediately called into Slytherin. When it was my turn to be called, not many were left after I was. Almost every seat was filled in Gryffindor, and Slytherin... Although from what I heard of all the houses, I wanted to be blue. The sorting hat was firmly placed upon my head and immediately called out Ravenclaw, one of the fasted calls all day. My new family, and home lit up with excitement as I go to take my new seat - eager to begin a life of rigorous studies and exciting adventures.
