Professor Kali Censer

== Academic and Professional Career ==
Born a half-blood, Kali’s mother was an Auror and her father a farmer. Unfortunately, while Kali was still very young her mother died, and they moved deeper into the English countryside when her father bought a larger farm. Her mother’s death hurt Kali considerably but her father, dealing with his own pain, was unable to help, so she buried her feelings.
While her father was busy she would spend hours alone in the woods. Being magically inclined, she was able to see the various nymphs that populated the area. She made friends with the river nymphs, who taught her water magic, also called hydromancy.
She received her Hogwarts invitation and was proudly sorted into Gryffindor. In her early years at school she learned of her affinity to air magic, aeromancy, and quickly excelled in any spell involving that element. Having far more control over air spells than any other student, Kali used her skills to help Gryffindor‘s quidditch team train. But despite her cheerful exterior, a darkness was growing inside.
Still bitter at the death of her mother, she rebelled, befriending an equally defiant pyromancer. Together, they bullied any students who dared to defy them and were quite the terror to underclassmen. Through this friend she discovered her affinity for pyromancy, and she greatly enjoyed the feeling of power when wielding fire magic. Her schooling and rebelliousness culminated at graduation, where she literally left in a whirlwind of fire.
Having burned all her bridges at Hogwarts, sometimes literally, she moved back with her father, where the countryside brought memories of better times, and with those memories, healing came. She rekindled her friendship with the river nymphs, and discovered a new friend, mountain dwarves, who helped her learn geomancy.
Mastering all four of the basic elemental Magics, Kali returned to Hogwarts, greatly wishing to make amends for her previous actions there.
