## Biography

#### Early Life

Wade Courtney Mallory (née Welles) was born in San Francisco, California, United States of America on June 16, 2000, to Donald (Don) and Courtney (née Elshire) Welles. Wade joined her sister Kelly (Oct 1997). Kelly is a squib. Her mother is a pure-blood and her father is a No-Maj.

Since her father, sister, and paternal family are not magical she was raised to have respect for the Magical and No-Maj worlds. Her mother taught her that Wizards and Witches weren’t better than those that couldn’t do magic they were simply different.

Wade attended a No-Maj elementary school from 2005 to 2011. It was at school that she met Quinn Mallory; she suspected that he might be No-Maj born. One day, when she was nine and he was eight, she saw him doing magic unintentionally, she took him aside and with no hesitation told him that he was a wizard.

#### Ilvermorny Years (2011 - 2018)

On September 1, 2011, she started Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The night of the sorting, she stepped onto the Gordian Knot, and within a few minutes, the forehead of the Horned Serpent started to glow she could hear the shouts and cheers of the Horned Serpent Students from the balcony.

After all the first years had been selected by their house, they were taken to to Hall to get their wands. After six wands rejected her though she knew her wand was there, she worried that she'd end up being the only first year that didn't get chosen by a wand. Finally, the tenth wand she tried chose her it was 12 1/2 inches long, made of cypress wood, and had a Quetzalcoatl Quill as its core.

Wade was an average but diligent and dedicated student who consistently put in hard work to achieve passing grades in all her classes. Her favorite subjects were Charms and History of Magic. In her third year she added Creature Care and Enchantments to her class schedule.

During her fourth year, she tried out for the Horned Serpent Quidditch team. The competition was fierce, but she displayed exceptional skills and talent, earning herself a spot on the team as a Chaser and proudly played on the team for three years.

That April she spotted Quinn doing magic unintentionally he had hoovered trash to the trash can. Wade took him to an empty classroom and excitedly told him that he was a wizard. Over the years they grew closer and they would talk about what it would be like when they finally were at Ilvermorny. During her first year at Ilvermorny she wrote to Quinn regularly.

When she was fifteen, she realized that she had a crush on Quinn. Though she tried dropping numerous hints, he remained oblivious, seeing her only as a close friend.

Though she wished it was different near the end of her seventh year she had to accept Quinn simply wasn’t interested in her that way.
