Grace Russell

**Grace Russell**

History

Albion Kinnaird returned to England after years away in the autumn of 2031 pregnant with the child of one of her grandfather’s ranch hands. Her family was furious with her for her carelessness and she had decided it was for the best to return to England to figure things out for herself. She reached out to old friends and boyfriends for help but all fell through leaving the young woman very much alone. She buckled down getting a job in Flourish and Blotts while pregnant and eventually gave birth to a girl she named Grace Annaleigh on the 2nd of January 2032. The moment she held the baby she knew she’d do everything she could to protect her.

Sadly, their little family wasn’t meant to last. Four months later Albion had taken Grace out to explore Diagon Alley when the street was attacked by terrorists. Debris from the explosion killed Albion instantly, whilst Grace landed in the middle of the chaos still in her carrier. She was rescued from the spells being thrown everywhere by Vasilius Jo who kept her safe during the entirety of the fight. The moment the fight was over both Vasilius and Grace were transported to the hospital to get checked out where, once they were certain she wasn’t injured, Grace was placed into Lil Bundles.

Vasiliius visited often with his boyfriend making promises to adopt her which they ended up being unable to keep. This left Grace devastated leading to her becoming unable to form long lasting relationships with people. She was diagnosed with depression shortly after this.
Things began to look up a few weeks after her fourth birthday when she literally ran into a young newlywed couple named Kamille and Karsci Russell and barely a year later she was adopted by them. She’d finally found her family. Her name was legally changed to Russell and even though she wasn’t their biological child they treated her as though she was. Her life with them was loving and caring even more so when her younger brother came along.

Grace's first signs of magic were nothing too exciting, she'd been seven and her parents had tried to make her go to the day care at Lil Bundles but even the thought of going to that place made her sick with worry that they were going to try to send her back. She'd ran screaming from the room into her bedroom the door slamming shut and locking behind her. Once they'd gotten her out of there they'd been a mixture of annoyed and excited as they explained she'd just shown her first signs of magic. She'd be attending Hogwarts just like they had.

But the Russells marriage ended up falling apart a few years later. It wasn't anyone fault it just wasn't working out. It was agreed that Karsci would keep the kids in the UK so they could attend Hogwarts whilst Kamille decided to head back to France to sort herself out. The divorce was hard on Grace who'd already had so much tragedy in her life she couldn't help but blame herself for it. She must have played a part in their divorce, she was a bad luck charm.

Personality

Growing up in such a way as Grace had, what with her first three years of life being spent in an orphanage without much adult attention, has definitely influenced her in ways that are only now beginning to manifest. She developed depression at a young age, under the less-than-watchful eyes of the orphanage employees, and spent her days by herself, tucked into the dark corners of the orphange. She struggles with building emotional connections, well, it's not surprising that whenever she tried to open up, she was always pushed away in the end. Despite this, and under the loving care of her parents, Grace has developed into an intelligent and funny teenager.

Under the eyes of her parents, Grace has thrived. She has turned from the small, depressed, and basically abandoned girl to one who rolls with the punches that the world has thrown at her. She now has a love of art and reading, She absolutely adores her parents, and trusts them with her life. After all, if it wasn't for them, then she would've never probably gotten out of the orphanage. Although she does blame herself heavily for their divorce. She's come to see herself as a bad luck charm causing destruction wherever she goes.
