**Rebecca Lancaster**

History

When Elizabeth Lancaster was diagnosed with breast cancer at 7 and a half months pregnant with twins no one thought it possible that both would survive. And yet, despite being touch and go for a while, Rebecca and Callie Lancaster were born happy and healthy on the 2nd of November 2021. The youngest child of Elizabeth and Louie Lancaster, Rebecca grew up happy and loved with her sister and older brother Oliver. Although they lived a somewhat simple life, the siblings never wanted for anything. People said they were spoiled but they never acted like it. They were always the first to share out their toys with friends or help a stranger on the street it was just how they were raised.

The siblings didn't always get along. Oliver was so used to being the only child that he almost resented his little sisters but this faded away the moment they were able to run around and play as much as he did. He came to realise little siblings just meant more people to play with and after that the Lancaster siblings were inseparable. They did everything together, their friend groups overlapped so much despite the age difference that they spent almost all day every day with each other. That was until Oliver went off to Hogwarts. It had resulted in Callie showing her first signs of magic and began Rebecca's unsettling worry that she might be a squib. It would take another three years before this would be disproved.

Rebecca was a bit late in showing her magic. The twins 11th birthday was rapidly approaching, Hogwarts letters were due to come out that summer and the Lancaster family were beginning to come to terms with the fact that their youngest daughter was a squib. Rebecca however, was not handling the news very well. It had been bad enough that Oliver had left for Hogwarts but now Callie was going too? And she couldn't go with her? She'd never spent even a night away from her sister before and now they expected them to do it for seven years? As the summer got closer Rebecca's mood got worse and worse. She became quick to anger, defensive about everything she did and it was this that finally triggered her magic in the form of a storm cloud over Callie's head.

And so the twins set off to Hogwarts that year glad to still be together. Rebecca's first year was quiet, unlike her siblings she was sorted into Gryffindor much to her entire family's surprise. It didn't change much for them in their first year other than having to find somewhere to meet up outside of common rooms and having slightly differing circles of friends. It was odd for the twins to be separated but they learnt to deal with it pretty quickly. At least they were still in the same building.

When Oliver came out that summer she was his number one supporter. If anyone even started to say something against it she was more than ready to shut them down. He was her big brother after all, who he loved didn't change anything for her. She hated that their father wasn't fully accepting of his son and she told him so on more than one occasion leading to a somewhat strained relationship between the pair.

The next few years at Hogwarts were much like her first year had been. Quiet and uneventful. Her relationship with her siblings however changed a little as Oliver left Hogwarts and Callie spent time with her Hufflepuff friends. They didn't really have the same amount of time for each other that they did before. And when Rebecca started dating Noah Selwyn in her fifth year the only times they really saw each other were when they were at home or in passing in the hallways.

Rebecca had met Noah that first day on the train he'd been certain he'd be sorted into Gryffindor (which he was) and she was certain she'd be a Hufflepuff like her siblings (she wasn't). He'd been her first friend and later, her first real boyfriend. They'd been in love, or so they'd thought. After graduating Hogwarts they moved in together with Noah getting a job in the ministry as was expected of him and Rebecca getting a job as a healer in training. Noah had talked her into it when she hadn't been sure what she had wanted to do. Healer's were well respected, it was a steady job. The problem was, she wasn't so sure she wanted a steady job.
But three months later she had no other option but to accept this was what she was going to do with her life. She'd received news that would change her life in more ways than she could even imagine. She was pregnant.

Rebecca was never the golden child, she could never compare to her siblings when it came to magic. It had been a part of her life for so long that it just held no sort of amazement for her anymore. For the next few years she drifted through Hogwarts, the only somewhat remarkable thing she could comment on was her relationship with Noah. The pair started dating in their fifth year surprising absolutely no one, they'd been calling it for years. For a while after leaving Hogwarts Rebecca drifted. She took a job in a bar in order to be able to afford to move out of her parents house. She barely lasted three months before she got news that would change everything for her. She was pregnant.

When she told Noah his reaction was almost exactly the same as her, he was less than happy. He'd just started a job in the ministry, he couldn't afford to have a child ruin his career! But he had no other option, his parents would be furious for abandoning her so he did the only thing he could. He married her.

Their relationship soured after that. They had no funds, a crappy apartment and no idea how to raise a kid. They argued all the time, Noah started staying out late just to avoid her. To the world they were the perfect couple but once the doors were closed the shouting matches and heavy silences were all the couple knew. And when it got to the point where Noah was cheating on her they both knew the marriage was a complete sham. The atmosphere wasn't good for anyone. The added stress eventually led to Rebecca losing her baby.

She'd been alone in the hospital when she got the news. She got home to find Noah with yet another girl and she'd just snapped. She attacked him, sending him flying back into the wall ignoring the screams from the girl he'd been with and then she packed her bag and left stopping only long enough to make sure he was still alive.

She couldn't face going back to her family, she couldn't face telling them what had happened so instead she quit her job, taking the small amount of savings she had and left the country. She sent divorce papers to Noah the next day, he hadn't been happy to sign them his family didn't agree with divorce but they figured they could use her attack as proof she was insane and that was the reason for the divorce so he signed it. They could paint her out in whatever light they liked, so long as she wasn't married to him anymore she didn't care. She sent an owl a week later telling her family everything, she told them she was alright and that she just needed to leave for a while. A while turned into months and eventually years. She spent four years travelling the world before she spent the next two in Brazil training as a lawyer. But after six years away she came to realise the one thing she really missed was her family. For the first time in years she returning to Britain to face the life she left behind.

Personality

Rebecca has no idea how she ended up in Gryffindor. She's very much the sort to run from her problems rather than face them head on, other people's problems however she'll be the first in line to fight for them. It's what makes her such a good lawyer. That and the fact she cares, maybe a little too much in some cases. If things hit a little too close to home for her she does struggle a little in separating herself from it.

She's a free spirit who doesn't like to be tied down for too long. She spent a good portion of her life with Noah having her life dictated for her, what she should wear, who she could meet, what her job should be that she can't stand to be tied down to anything for too long. The longest she's managed was Brazil and that was mainly because it was the farthest thing from her previous life than she could get. She's not had somewhere she really called home in a long time and she's still trying to decide whether she wants to or not.
