## Aithne Snow

### Biographical

#### Personality

Aithne is the clear image of mama bear. If you hurt anyone that she cares about (i.e. her husband, her kids, her friends, etc.) she will hunt you down. She has had a very, *very* rough upbringing so even though she may look sweet on the outside, she can snap into your worst nightmare. She gives everyone the benefit of the doubt first but the moment you cross her, you are dead to her. Aithne has no qualms with cutting others off. If you are her friend, she will have your back til the very ends of the Earth - least til you give her a reason not to but again, it would take you hurting those she cares about for that to happen.

#### History

##### Early Life

Aithne was not born to a particularly loving family. Her father was an 18 year old Halfblood while her mother was a 16 year old Muggle. The two had met at a mutual friend’s larty, had a drunken night hook up and the rest was essentially history. Hugo and Robyn never married but dated since they were having a baby together. Robyn was 17 when she finally delivered Aithne while Hugo was still 19. Hugo had actually missed the birth of his daughter, not by accident but clearly on purpose. He lied and said that he was working a job but in reality he was shacking up with a girl he knew back from Hogwarts. Robyn knew of the slight affair but chose to ignore it to save face and to keep from arguing with Hugo. Even though she tried to remain passive and peaceful, Hugo ended up packing all his things in the middle of the night and leaving his daughter and girlfriend behind with no sort of note whatsoever. Aithne was only five at this time.

Two years went on by where Robyn solely cared for Aithne. However the moment that she showed signs of being magical like her father, Robyn decided that she could no longer be her mother. Taking her daughter and giving her a backpack of clothes and water, Robyn dropped Aithne off near an entrance to the Ministry which she only knew was there because of her walking with Hugo towards work.

Aithne stood outside of one of the entrances to the Ministry for only ten minutes before someone found her and began asking her questions. She was escorted to the law enforcement department before she was taken to an orphanage in Ireland that was made for magical children. There she grew up as best as she could while trying to deal with the fact that her mother and father both abandoned her, thus giving her the phobia of being abandoned.

##### School Years

Aithne had been so relieved when she had gotten her Hogwarts letter. She was able to escape the orphanage for nearly a year and learn magic in the process. Even though she was excited to go to the magical school she had heard all about, she was still beyond terrified. What if she didn’t make any friends? What if everyone knew she didn’t have any parents? What if they all knew she was from an orphanage? Regardless, Aithne kept her distance from others. At least attempted too. It wasn’t until she was sorted into Slytherin that she met Royal Snow who seemed adamant that they become friends. She was even surprised that there were nights where he would stay up with her in the common room when she couldn’t sleep because of her nightmares of being abandoned all over again.

At the end of her first year, Aithne was not looking forward to returning to the orphanage and not happy about leaving her new friend. She knew she had to though. That summer was rough but the letters she received from Royal were all that helped her get through it.

Her second year passed by rather uneventfully but her third gear was different and she had Royal to thank for that. He had tried out on the Quidditch team and became the seeker for Slytherin while she tried out and became a beater for the team. In a way, it was the only logical position. She was able to protect Royal, herself, and her teammates. Quidditch was a passion for her. It was a way for her to let out all her frustrations and sadness. The way the bat crashed against the bludger was her favorite part of being a beater. Her nightmares were still persistent but with Royal there, they were more manageable.

Her fourth year was much like her second. Nothing drastic or crazy happened. Aithne continued doing well in her classes, and did well on the pitch. Her nightmares were nearly gone at this point. Aithne was relieved by this, however, it only lasted for a brief moment.

As soon as her fifth head started, she became a prefect and not too long after that, Royal and her began dating. This was the year where her nightmares came back in full swing and even worse than they have been before. Aithne could only relate it to her phobia of being abandoned. That now Royal and her were more serious, she was more afraid of losing him like she had lost her parents.

Her grades had faltered slightly along with her Quidditch skills due to her lack of sleep. If she never slept, then she would never have nightmares. It seemed logical to her. Surprisingly, she was able to hide it from Royal, just stating that she was running late patrols, studying for her owls, whatever lie she could muster up she gave. To this day, she never knew if he knew she was lying but had just gone along with it to keep her somewhat sane.

Sixth year was when Aithne really put her life back together, or at least as together as she could get it. She drank calming teas or draughts before heading to bed to try to keep herself from having any nightmares. For the most part, it worked. The nightmares weren’t fully ever gone but they were reduced compared to the prior year.

During seventh year, Aithne had been made Head girl but was upset that Royal hadn’t been Head boy. She didn’t know why that was but she didn’t dare question it with the headmistress. She just went about her days as best as she could. Spreading her time out between Quidditch, Head girl duties, classes, and her boyfriend. Aithne’s nightmares had come back worse than last year but it was still never as bad as her fifth year. She confided in Royal to get his help for it and with his help, she was able to get through her more restless nights with minimal nightmares.

At the end of seventh year, Aithne chose to try out for the Holyhead Harpies and was able to secure a trainee position. However, due to timing, Aithne soon found out that she was pregnant with Royal’s child. Even though the timing was off for them, Aithne was still happy. She was going to have the love of her life’s baby and he had proposed. They had Davina Rey before getting married. She did not want to have a shot gun wedding or get married looking like a blimp. After having Davina and getting married, Aithne pulled the plug of her Quidditch dreams. She couldn’t imagine leaving her child behind as she went off around the world. She never wanted her daughter to feel abandoned like she had so Aithne began working a graveyard shift at some Muggle department store so that someone would be there for Davina at any time.

##### After Hogwarts

At the age of about 23, Aithne had her second child with Royal. This time a boy that they named Royce but nicknamed him Iggy. She felt her life was complete. At the age of 25 though, she got a job at the Leaky Cauldron as a waitress before moving up on being a bartender. At 27, Aithne left the Leaky Cauldron and got a job at the Siren’s Lagoon as a bartender. It was a completely different scene than the Leak Cauldron but it was one that Aithne loved to be a part of which was why she stuck with it for as long as she could.

In the current year (2022), as time went on and Aithne got further along in her pregnancy, she began considering a new career. She wasn’t getting any younger and she wanted to be more than just a bartender. After conversing with her husband, Aithne decided to try her hand at becoming a healer in the Mind-Healer department so that she could help those that had gone through trauma, especially if they had had the same kind of emotionally distress and trauma that she had gone through. Aithne didn’t even care that she would be starting as a trainee and starting all over again. She just wanted to do something that mattered. She applied to be a trainee in their mind healer program and had been accepted, however all interested parties decided that it would be better for her to start her official training when she was done with her maternity leave.
