Academic and Professional Career
Professor Nightshade was sorted into Slytherin, optimistic about the school years ahead until a number of "incidents" caused the school and Scarlett's parents to send her to St.Mungo's in her fifth year. Pitying her situation a handful of professors tutored her and continued her education. 
After leaving St.Mungo's Scarlett became an Unspeakable for the Ministry of Magics Department of Mysteries. ( Her work done during this time is confidential.) 
Deciding to retire from the Ministry she was offered a job as a Professor at Hogwarts teaching Ghoul Studies and due to her experiences was asked to be a councilor/psychiatrist for the students. 
Childhood 
Scarlett was born in a Pureblood family. From a young age she had "abilities" that even most magical children did not show. Not understanding her powers and fearing for their reputation her parents used a series of spells and potions to dull her senses causing her to not remember much of her childhood. 
Once at Hogwarts the spells began to fade and she started hearing whispers that no one else could hear. As the years went on and her powers increased the voices were nonstop, passing it off as peeves or other things causing the disturbances. She tried speaking to her friends but they isolated her, calling her insane. After breaking down and confiding in her professors they grew worried about her mental state eventually her parents told the Headmistress the truth. Fearing for Scarlett's and others safety they decided to send her to St.Mungos.

Professor nightshade can usually be found in either her office, the restricted section or the forbidden forest. Channeling the dead takes a lot out of her so she has to take time to recuperate.
