*" Tell me that you hate me! You hate me for calling for father to come get you. You hate me for casting you to the side! You hate me for cursing you with every fiber of my being.

## Biography

### Early Life

Nyx was born to Esmee Fitzgerald in 2005 shortly after Esmee's marriage to Eric Fitzgerald in York, England. Esmee and Eric moved to the countryside only a month after her birth to move into her grandparents vacation home. The estate became known as the Chandonnet-Fitzgerald Manor. In 2007, Nyx's younger brother, Desmond Fitzgerald was born. It was around this time that Esmee began hiring House Elves to help around the manor. All the employed elves were freed elves who sat down to an agreement with the family along with a set wage. They are free to leave whenever. Most of Nyx's early life was spent in luxury thanks to her pureblooded elite family back in France supplying Esmee with, what they called, an allowance. Despite that, Esmee took up a job at St. Mungo's as a healer, later retiring and establishing a creature clinic on the grounds of the Chandonnet-Fitzgerald Manor, and Eric continued his career as an Auror.

### The Sullivan Incident

At age 13, Nyx's birth father, Jonathan Sullivan, made headlines. One night over the summer, Jonathan broke into the Chandonnet-Fitzgerald Manor, more specifically Nyx's bedroom. His commotion woke Nyx and the girl was locked into a duel with the man until she was knocked unconscious. Upon waking up, she discovered his attempt to kidnap her had failed as her step father had raced to the rescue. It was then that Nyx found out that Sullivan was her birth father. It was also revealed that Sullivan was the grandson of two Death Eaters and had intentions to become, in his words, the next Voldemort with claims that Nyx would be his heir. For the next two years, Aurors kept a close eye on her to ensure Sullivan did not try to capture her again. In 2020, when Nyx was 15, Sullivan was apprehended by Eric Fitzgerald. However, Eric was badly wounded to the point that magic was not able to fully heal. Eric retired early from the Auror department due to this and Nyx was freed from serveilence.

### French Residence

After her graduation from Hogwarts in 2024, Nyx moved to live with her extended family in France at her mother's request. This was an attempt to obtain dual citizenship in both England and France. It was there that Nyx participated in parties. She was more interested in experimenting with drinks than she was focusing on her career. Once she had obtained her citizenship, her grandparents sent her back with orders to figure out her life or they would see her removed from the family.

### Hogwarts Employment

Upon her return to England, Nyx heard of Hogwarts' need for professors. Nyx quickly submitted an application and shortly after was accepted as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in 2026. Nyx currently teaches classes for first, second, and third years.

## Personality

She's more than willing to help anyone who asks for it, and rarely she seeks specific people out to try and help them. For the most part, she allows people to approach them if they need her.

A side of her most people do not see, is her guilt and sadness. Nyx was the only survivor of Jonathan's dark crafts and suffers greatly from this knowledge, more so from the amount of people he killed.
