Lauren Emerald

Backstory

Raised in the countryside at our family cottage, located right next to my mother and father's greenhouses. Growing up, I observed the tending and harvesting of hundreds of different plants, herbs and flora with countless magical healing properties, some to this day, still undiscovered. As cultivators of a plethora of magical species of plants as suppliers to apothecaries all over the world, I was fascinated from an early age and have always wanted to continue the work of my parents. I also love to knit and quilt the old-fashioned way. It takes ages though, so, sometimes I cheat with a self-stitching charm. Gotta cut out all the patchwork pieces by hand, though.

Post-Graduation Future:
"After flourishing in Herbology and Arithmancy, she recieved all O-levels in her O.W.L.'s, yet chose not to sit for her N.E.W.T.s due to her passion for the family business.
Emerald's love of writing and the illustration of medicinal flowers and plants gives way to a healing herbology anthology she works on in her spare time, in partnership with Phyllida Spore, author of "One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi".
She lives on the family estate with her finace' and two daughters, Eliza, 6, and Mareen, 2, who both love to run and play in the nearby wildflower fields with their beloved dog, Ringo."
