== Personal Life ==
=== Childhood ===
One side of her family is pure blood and the other is mixed making her a half-blood. Her father’s side of the family fought with Voldemort and her mother's did not, her father separated himself from his family during the war and ran away with her mother. She was born during the war while her parents were in hiding. She grew up being bounced around her mother’s side of the family due to her parents working as Aurors. When she was sorted into Slytherin her father was disappointed, he didn’t want her to embody his side of the family even a bit. There was some hostility towards Slytherin after the war so she ended up charming a necklace in her fifth year, she is often seen wearing it even today, to protect her from popular jinxes. She perfected her charms rather easily, but did not have the patience nor know how to do potions or many other things, but she could do wandless magic excellently. Due to her affinity for charms, she was able to perfect her apparition ability rather quickly, she however did not want to do work with apparition initially.
=== School and Work Background ===
Came to Hogwarts after the battle of Hogwarts in the years that followed the war, she was intelligent but ambitious and wanted to have the world at her fingertips. She graduated and wanted to make an impact, initially she wanted to become an auror like her parents but did not have the defensive ability she needed so she decided to try and work for the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, but found it was not the right fit. After being bounced around the ministry she landed in the Apparition Test Center and it was a perfect fit. She was then transferred to Hogwarts to teach apparitions and can often be seen at the ministry.
=== Death ===
She died in the attack on Hogwarts, by Argon’s army, due to the killing curse. She was close to many professors namely Professor Kendros and Professor Crowen. She made a choice in the afterlife and is now at Hogwarts trapped as a ghost.
