## Biography

#### Early Years

Alexis Mila Akers was born on October 17th, 2028, to Hector and Valatina. When Alexis was four years old, her maternal grandfather Asher killed her parents, and Alexis was given to her mother’s sister Hecate to raise.

Unfortunately, her Aunt became mentally and emotionally abusive towards her over the years. Hecate hated her late brother-in-law Hector because he was a half-blood, and she hated her late sister for marrying a half-blood wizard. Alexis lived in a nightmare for much of the time.

#### Hogwarts Years (2040-Present)

On September 1, 2040, Alexis got some reprieve from her Aunt Hecate when she started Hogwarts. Due to her distant impurities, she was placed into Ravenclaw House. After years of hell, Alexis felt she had a new home, a home where she could be happy. Not long after starting Hogwarts, she met Marie Devitt, a third-year Gryffindor student. They soon became friends, and she met many more friends through Marie.

During the summer of 2041, her Aunt refused to get the books she required for her second year. When she was with her Aunt during her breaks, she made Alexis' life a living hell. During the Christmas break in 2041, she went to her friend Avalon Kelly's house for the remainder of the holiday break. During the time with her Aunt, she was scared of her own shadow.

In her third year, she chose to take Care of Magical Creatures and The Study of Ancient Runes as her elective courses. It was also that year that she developed feelings for her friend Mason Hawkins. She kept her feelings to herself for a year until her fourth year, when she started to date Mason.

In the fall of 2043, when she was in her fourth year, she tried out for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. Always loving Quidditch, she was thrilled that she made the team as a Chaser.

When Alexis confessed to her friends the abuse that she had received from her Aunt for years and received anytime, she went home. They banded with her to help her with her situation. Hecate was sent to Azkaban for child abuse, and Alexis’s former tutor Andrea McGowan stepped up and became her legal guardian.

Now completely free of her Aunt, she was able to put her nightmare behind her and start to live and be genuinely happy. In the summers, Andrea would take her to Italy.

In her fifth year, she was made a Prefect.

In June 2047, she graduated from Hogwarts after getting her NEWT results in July she applied and was accepted to Auror school.
