Professor Mara Fawnfellow

== Academic and Professional Career ==
Mara Fawnfellow taught health and sex education in nomaj public schools for 7 years. After recognizing the need, Ilvermorny extended an offer to her to teach sex education with them. She accepted and stayed with Ilvermorny for 5 years. Upon increasing STI and consent issues at Hogwarts, administrators looked for a solution. They saw what Mara was teaching at Ilvermorny, and offered her a teaching position. 
== Personal Life ==
=== Childhood ===
Mara was born, in the United States, to Nomaj/Muggle parents. At Ilvermorny, she aced Nomaj Studies, and looked for the similarities, hoping for a way to eventually bridge the divide. She quickly realized that love, relationships, and human sexuality were a common thread, and independently researched as much as she could (often to her classmate’s and professor’s amusement about the subject). 
=== Hogwarts Career ===
As an Ilvermorny Horned Serpent, Mara fits in with the Ravenclaw’s and has taken that as her adopted Hogwarts House. She acts as an assistant to the Ravenclaw head, and mentor to many Ravenclaws. She’s been frustrated with how outdated some of the Hogwarts curriculum is, and is working to change it. 
=== Conciliantis ===
Mara has a natural affinity for matchmaking, and loves providing love and flirting advice to the other professors. She wears a wedding ring, although not much is known about her deceased spouse. She also has an amulet that never leaves her neck. 
=== #endgraine / #savegraine ===
Mara is quite lonely and was attracted to Professor Grimm, even though he was in a relationship with Rufus Raine. After repeatedly having her advances spurned, Mara grew increasingly more and more emotionally erratic. Her friends, colleagues, and even some students tried to talk sense into her. However, she removed her amulet, revealing a half-demon side that only her childhood friend, Juniper, knew about (Mara's mother was a succubus). She attempted to kidnap Professor Raine, who secretly used the Imperious Curse on her to get away, then kidnapped Professor Thomas, all in a misguided attempt to attract Grimm's attention. Although nobody but Thomas knows exactly what happened, Mara let her go, and then went to Raine for help. Professor Raine used Obliviate to wipe Mara's memory of Grimm, returning her to her usual self. Although others at Hogwarts still remember all the events, Mara does not. Category:Ravenclaw Professors
