==Personal Life==
=== Childhood ===
Her father was a muggle werewolf and her mother was a werewolf rights activist. Her father was supposedly murdered by two Death Eaters who were prejudice against werewolves. They were never caught.
While teaching at Hogwarts Nellie is confronted by a former classmate, Penny Dunn, a Death Eater who had spent time in Azkaban. Penny confessed to murdering Nellie’s father in a twisted attempt to protect Nellie from the werewolf. Nellie attacked Penny but was beaten quickly. Claiming to be ‘reformed’, Penny refused to kill Nellie and instead escaped. Nellie feels the ministry is so corrupt that reporting Penny’s confession to her father’s murder will do no good.
First in her family to be sorted into Gryffindor. Keeper on the quidditch team.
=== After Graduation ===
Palmer worked for the ministry of magic after graduation in order to bring her father’s murderers to justice, and even had dreams of being the minister of magic, but ended up only doing clerical work. Disillusioned and burnt out, she left the ministry because she felt she wasn’t making a difference. She eventually attended a muggle university.
