## Biography

#### Early Years

Arianna Caroline Theriault (née Bouchard) was born on September 4, 2004 to Simon and Maelee (née Levesque). Arianna is the third of four children; her siblings are Jacob (Jan 2000) , Ella Rycroft (Mar 2002), and Tobias (Mar 2007). Her middle name Caroline is in honor of her paternal aunt Caroline Reinhold.

Arianna grew up with her siblings in Vancouver, British Columbia, in the Dunbar-Southlands neighbourhood. Her parents always told her and her siblings that Wizardkind were no better than No-Majkind and that all people, regardless of their blood status, race, or financial status, should be treated kindly and with respect due to all human beings.

#### Ilvermorny (2016-2019)

   On September 1, 2016, three days before she turned twelve, she started Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When she began, Jacob was a sixth-year Wampus, and Ella was a fourth-year Thunderbird.

Arianna stepped onto the Gordian knot in the middle of the marble floor, she wasn’t there more than five minutes, and the Wampus statue roared. When finding a wand, she tried four before one chose her. The wand was thirteen inches, made of Rowan wood, and its core was the feather of a Snallygaster.

By the end of the first week, she had made three friends in her class Vanessa Ladue a fellow Wampus; Mimi Rovira, a Thunderbird; and Penny McAllister, a Pukwudgie.

In February 2017, she met and befriended Damian Theriault. Damian was a second-year pure-blood student in Horned Serpent house. Arianna found him super cute and friendly and enjoyed talking and hanging out with him. That summer, they communicated through I parchment and two-way mirror since she lived in Vancouver and he lived in Montreal.

   In January 2018, they decided to be girlfriend and boyfriend they were both thirteen. They would have picnics on the grounds of Ilvermorny and hold hands in the hallways. On March 5, 2018, they shared their first kiss.

On May 24, 2019, after being together for sixteen months, they lost their virginity to each other; she was fourteen and a half and he had turned fifteen on the twelve. There was part of her that knew they were too young to be having sexual relations but she loved him.

#### Pregnant at 14 1/2

It was the third week of July when she noticed her monthly cycle was two weeks late. Though Arianna tried to remain calm, telling herself that a late period did not mean she was pregnant, inside, she was scared she wasn’t even fifteen.

Hoping and praying that she was late, she walked to a nearby No-Maj convenience store and purchased two pregnancy tests; the cashier gave her a dirty look when she was checking out. On Tuesday July 23, 2019 she took the test it was almost a week after she'd gotten them.

   The test was positive, but she took the second test, hoping that one would be negative, but it wasn’t; it too was positive. After it was confirmed, she started crying. The little girl in her wanted to run to her Mommy, but her parents and Toby weren’t home; she had purposely taken the test when they were out.

When she had cried so long, she had no tears left; she used the family's two-way mirror to contact her brother Jacob. Jacob lived in Toronto with his girlfriend, Caitlin. When Jacob answered, she started crying again. Jacob asked her what was wrong, and Arianna could hear the concern in his voice. Jacob asked her if their parents were there, and she told him she was home alone. Jacob said he would contact their mother and tell her she needed to get home. Through her tears she cried, "No, please, don't, Jacob!" Then she tried to say she was pregnant but couldn't get the words out; it was like someone had cast a silencing charm on her. Jacob then told her that he was coming home.

From the time the mirror conversation ended to Jacob's arrival seemed longer than it was. During that time, she thought about how her parents would react, making her cry even more. When she saw Jacob, she threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face, and her body shook. Jacob held her stroking her back, telling her that it was okay, whatever it was. Finally, she said shakily, "I'm pregnant.”

After she told him, he said that he would be there to support her no matter what. Then he hugged her, he hugged her for what felt like hours but in truth was only minutes. They sat down on the couch and talked for over an hour; she did most of the talking. Arianna told him that Damian did not know because she had only found out that day though she had suspected for over a week. Arianna also told Jacob that she knew she would have to tell their parents, but she wanted to tell Damian first but that she didn’t want to tell him via a message or mirror.

Jacob suggested that she could come to Toronto at the weekend to visit him and Caitlin, and Damian could come to Toronto to see her. Jacob also said if she wanted, he would be there when she told their parents the news.

##### Telling Damian

That Friday, she went to Toronto, and Damian came the next day. They went for a walk on the waterfront, and she told him that she was pregnant with his child.

##### Telling Mom and Dad

On August 2, 2019, she and Damian, with Jacob there for support, went and told her parents that they were expecting a baby. It was one of the hardest things she's ever had to do. Her mother came and hugged her and told her she loved her and her future grandchild. Those simple words from her Mommy made her feel like a weight had been lifted off of her and she broke down into tears. Then her father hugged both of them and said they would be there to support her, Damian, and the baby.

#### Ilvermorny Home Study (2019-2023)

Arianna had to decide how she would finish her education after meeting with her parents, the Head of Wampus House, and the Headmistress. They came up with two options. The first was that after she had the baby, she would return to Ilvermorny, and her parents would take care of her baby while she was at school.

The second option was that she would start a home study program. In the Home Study Program, she would continue her classes and have the same coursework as her peers. Her classwork would be sent back and forth between her and her professors via owls. For tests and exams, she would come to the school to take them, and she would also be able to come to the school for events such as Quidditch and Quodpot matches, Feasts, etc.

Arianna chose to do the home study option. For one, she wanted to take responsibility for her baby, and though she knew she would need her parent's help, she also didn't want them to have to solely take care of her baby even though they said that they would. Then there was also the fact that she wanted to breastfeed, which wouldn't be possible if she was away at school and her baby was in Vancouver with her parents.

#### Teen Motherhood

On February 7, 2020, at fifteen years old, after seventeen hours of labor she gave birth to her baby with Damian and her mother by her side. It was a baby boy, and though he had arrived a month early, he was healthy. The baby weighed six pounds three ounces and was 20 inches long. They named him Brayden Jacob Theriault. The family that were at the hospital when she had Brayden were her parents, Damian's parents; Pierre and Esmée, Ella, Jacob, and Jacob's girlfriend Caitlin Thibodeau.

##### Another Baby

On November 16, 2021, two months after she turned seventeen, she discovered she was pregnant again. Though the baby hadn’t been planned, she was glad that Bray would have a sibling close in age. On July 1, 2022, at seventeen, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. She and Damian named their daughter Belle Arianna Theriault. Belle was the main character in her favorite No-Maj Movie, Beauty and the Beast.

## After Ilvermorny

#### Career

In September 2023, she started training to become a Hit Witch at the Canadian Ministry in Toronto. Back when she was sixteen, she had decided that being a Hit Witch was the career path she wanted to take after talking to her grandfather William Bouchard. He had worked at the Canadian Ministry as a Hit Wizard.

#### Marriage and more children

On January 10, 2023, Damian proposed to her. They decided they wanted to get married that summer and picked June 27. Bray three was their ring bearer, and Belle, four days from being one, was a flower girl.

Roughly six weeks after the wedding, she learned she was pregnant; on March 28, 2024, she gave birth to their third child and second son Rhône Pierre. Two more children came after Rhône another daughter Karlie Isabeau, born on March 2, 2029, and another son Joel Théodore, born on November 6, 2031.

## Canadian Election (2043)

In 2043, Arianna volunteered on Jacob's campaign when he was running for the office of Magical Prime Minister of Canada.

## Relationships

#### Damian Theriault

Damian is her husband, best friend, and the father of her children. Since they met when they were both twelve, they have been through so much, from becoming teen parents to supporting each other in their chosen career paths in the Law Enforcement Division at the Canadian Ministry of Magic. There is no one that she’d rather go through life with than him.

#### Jacob Bouchard

Jacob is her big brother, and she has adored him since she was a little girl. He was her protector, the one she would seek out if something were wrong. When she was a child, if she had a nightmare, she would crawl into his bed, and Jacob would pull her close. He was the first person she told when she found out she was pregnant. Before her baby was born, she and Damian agreed that if the baby were a boy, his middle name would be Jacob in her brother's honor.

In July 2046, when the Prime Minister's residency was bombed, the Canadian Ministry declared him dead in September. It devastated her to the core, and she sunk into a deep depression. In December 2046, after the encouragement of Ella, Toby, and her husband, she started seeing a therapist three times a week to deal with the loss of her brother. In March 2048, when she found out that Jacob had not died, it was one of the happiest moments in her life.

#### Toby Bouchard

Toby is her younger brother, and she loves him dearly. For as long as she can remember, Toby has always been able to make her laugh or smile. Toby plays the guitar, and she enjoys singing; sometimes, for fun, she sings while he plays his guitar. They have performed at St. Leroux’s Healer’s Ball a few times. When Toby started Auror school in Toronto, he lived with her, Damian, and their kids for a year and a half.

#### Ella Rycroft (née Bouchard)

Ella is her big sister, and they are as close as two sisters could be. One of the things they loved doing together when they were children was being outside in nature. Ella was her Maid of Honor when she married Damian. When they believed their brother Jacob had died, Ella was the first to approach her about considering getting therapy to help her deal with their brother’s passing, as she was not taking it well.

#### Vanessa Toussaint (née Ladue)

Arianna met Vanessa the night of the sorting when they and the other Wampus first-years' were being led to the Wampus common room by a fifth-year prefect. They ended up getting assigned to the same dorm room. That night before bed, they got to know each other a little. Vanessa was No-Maj-born and was also from British Columbia; her family lived in the city of New Westminster.

It wasn't far from where she lived. The girls quickly became good friends, a friendship that remains today. When she married Damian, Vanessa was one of her bridesmaids, and she was her first friend that met Brayden after he was born.

#### Penny Serrano (née McAllister)

Arianna met Penny on her third day of classes. Penny was a half-blood Pukwudgie student from Des Moines, Iowa. Penny loved to make people laugh because it made people happy when they were laughing. Penny has been a dear lifelong friend. When she got married, Penny was one of her bridesmaids and even read a poem at the reception that she’d written.

#### Mimi La Vecchia (née Rovira)

Arianna met Mimi in her first Herbology class. Mimi was a pure-blood Thunderbird student from Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Mimi taught her Spanish and she taught her French-Canadian. Mimi was one of her bridesmaids at her wedding.

## Magical abilities and skills

Dueling: In September 2018, she joined the IIvermorny dueling club and the Wampus dueling team. The summer before her sixth year, the Head of Wampus told her that were it not for the fact she was in the home study program, she’d have been made the Wampus team Captain. In March 2024, she joined a Dueling club in Toronto. Its a talented that has come in handy in her career as a Hit Witch.

Charms: From her first charms class at Ilvermorny, it was clear that she had a natural talent for charms.
