Professor Vandessa Almend

== Backstory ==
Vendessa grew up in Maine with her 4 sisters and her single no maj mother. She was the middle child but always had the most protective nature of her siblings whether younger or older. Vendessa was the second child to go to Ilvermorny and got in trouble a lot as she would start fights protecting her oldest sister (even if it wasn’t needed whatsoever). However, during her fifth year, her mother got very sick and it could have been easily cured with magic so without hesitation spent all her time perfecting the spells and potions needed to cure her mother but was too late. She attended her mother’s funeral and her oldest sister left the magical world to take care of their younger siblings. After she graduated, Vendessa spent all her time learning magical cures and healing magic so no one could hurt like she did. She often went home to visit her sisters and help out when she could. Vendessa did however, realizing she could save other no maj’s with magic went on a spree of illegally healing people and doing a bad job of covering her tracks. This leads to have a target on her back by both MACUSA and family members of those she couldn’t save which lead to a magical fight that left her near death. After the constant running, MACUSA eventually caught her and she was placed into prison for two years. Now, she is freshly out of prison and this is her first year as a professor is very excited but terrified at the same time.
