Ivory Nightingale

Hunter Nightingale (Older Brother)

Marcus Nightingale (Younger Brother)

**Ivory Rose Nightingale** (b. 29 April, 2018) is a pureblood witch from England. She is the daughter of Mary and Rob Nightingale. She has two siblings. Hunter, age 16 sorted into Slytherin, and Marcus, age 13 sorted into Ravenclaw. She was sorted into Slytherin House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She is best known for standing up to others when they are talking bad about other's. Ivory does work hard in school and want to be the best at everything she does.

## Appearance

Strawberry blonde hair with emerald green eyes. Normally she wears her hair in her natural curls, but sometimes she straightens her hair or will even sometimes put it up in a bun or ponytail. Ivory is 5 feet 3 inches, and she enjoys wearing small heels. Her skin looks like it can be easily burned but super soft.

Normally Ivory wears long sleeves, and plain jeans. Ivory will have a variety with her clothing. Switching between dresses, skirts, shorts and pants, Ivory is sure to try everything once. Some styles she likes and others she knows she looks good in but she does like wearing all the time.

With her uniform, she wears it as close to perfection she can. Keeping every part of her uniform clean, Ivory takes care to be sure everything is pressed. Rarely wearing jewelry, Ivory constantly pushes her hair out of her face.

## Personality

Quiet but blunt. She is not afraid to tell people when they are wrong and she is smart. She is one to keep her composer and cool in every situation, and not to explode. Not particularing enjoying figuring things out, but she needs to be the one to figure it out first and figure it out well.

Ivory is very gentle, but when she wants something, she will not stop talking about it, loyal only to a few, Ivory at first glance and meeting, she doesn't seem like a Slytherin. But as one gets to know Ivory, they will see how she works things out to be in her favor, and those she cares about. And how other peoples problems aren't hers unless they mess with her future plans. Nothing she does is without motivation. And those motivations are made clear. Her goal to change the wizarding world for the better.

## Background

A day after she was born, Mary and Rob received a note. This is the note that sent the whole thing off. It read:

Mary,

So glad to hear of your daughter! I just had my own baby girl, sweet sister. It would be a great shame if yours went missing. Best keep her close to you. But I would love to meet her.

Your Brother.

After the note, Mary and Rob moved. They needed to protect Ivory. But they couldn’t figure out why the note came after Ivory. They think it was because that was when they were found. Mary doesn’t even remember the names of her siblings. Mary set up charms and a protective bubble around the house. The kids had freedom, but Mary and Rob both knew anyone coming in or out. They maintained control of the house and kept track of the kids.

Once they moved they didn’t hear anything about the family again. Allowing the family to relax a little. Until Marcus was born. Mary was thrilled to have the last addition to their family. A few days after Marcus was born, the family was happy until something happened. They were leaving the hospital when they noticed Ivory wasn’t with them. Mary began to panic, Ivory was only three when this happened. Below is the description of what happened.

-She was only three. Ivory had wandered off, she wanted some candy from the gift shop, and her mother was more into Marcus, her new baby brother. Hunter was acting up a little, so both her parents' attention wasn’t on Ivory for once, and what child wouldn’t take advantage of that? But before she got to the gift shop, she was kidnapped. Her uncle had found where they were and saw Ivory was by herself. Her grandfather wanted Ivory for himself so he could raise Mary’s child as his own. The reason was made clear to her uncle James, and James wanted to get back at his sister and in turn his grandmother who abandon them when they were younger.  He was very clear on his mission, find the hospital where Mary gave birth and see if there was ever a chance to grab Ivory. When that was presented to him, James took it. And he looked like Ivory, blonde hair and green eyes, so she went with James, saying it was time to go back to her family.

She wasn’t treated badly, but there were constant black cloud. Once Ivory realized the man she had gone with had no intention of giving her back to her family Ivory cried the whole time. In the chase James was able to get Ivory on a broom. Something Ivory had never been on before. This caused her to cry loudly and scream for help. And some other wizards heard, going after James and Ivory, they surrounded James. Ivory started moving around and ended up falling off the broom. Ivory screamed as one of the people helping her went to go save her, once she was in their arms, all the people going after James sped away from James. For a while James chased after them but three out of five stayed and kept James at bay. The one carrying Ivory went back to the hospital where her parents were wating. Once safely on the ground Ivroy ran to her mother, clinging to her. But no one ever saw who James was and the story never went into the paper. Mary did not want to put the fact Ivory was almost kidnapped out there.

After, Ivory’s mom made Hunter promise to never tell his sister what happened, as they did not want Ivory freaking out and one day they would explain everything.

From that point on, Hunter, who was 5, remembered the whole thing. He was asked to keep it a secret from Ivory and Marcus, as Mary did not want Ivory panicking at such a young age. She strengthened the charms in place to protect her children. Her and Rob tried to think about what her family would want with Ivory, why haven’t they tried to go after Hunter or Marcus? Mary requests that all the kids, especially Ivory, remain in her sight or Rob’s sight at all times. Which is what they did.

Until she was three to eleven she was constantly in the eyes of her mother. When she got her letter for Hogwarts, Mary was careful to make sure Ivory and Hunter were in eyesight at all times. On the train, Hunter stuck with Ivory until they were on Hogwarts grounds. They never told Ivory about the kidnapping and they never spoke about it.

#### Hogwarts Life

During her third year, she meet Vanora, and the two became best friends. Even to the point that Ivory only wanted to hang out with Vanora as time went on. So she did.

After her third year, Mary sat Ivory down and told her everything. From the crimes her grandfather possibly committed to her grandmother, who Ivory never met, leaving him with Mary. This whole thing overwhelms Ivory, especially the part where they got a note when she was born. That broke Ivory a lot. Ivory began crying uncontrollably and shut down for the first time, her mother had never seen her react to where she shut down. Ivory was fairly good about talking everything out.

Mary never told Ivory about how she was kidnapped, she didn’t want to cause Ivory to have a mental breakdown before school started. Ivory took the rest of the summer break clinging to her mom and dad. Staying closer to them and remaining in their sights. Mostly reading, slightly understanding how everything happened, but needing time to process it herself.

With the public break up from fourth year, Maggie targeted Ivory and Jay to be together since it would cause a lot of friction with Vanora. As Vanora is very vocal about how she doesn’t like Jay. And when Ivory tells Vanora she and Jay are together, Ivory and Vanora will stop talking to each other. As they will be getting into a big fight about this. And Ivory being stubborn, will not talk to Vanora as she will view it as being bad for her relationship with Jay.

During her fifth year she will be getting the Nightmare Potion given to her each day. Meaning Ivory was getting less sleep during her first term. Only one time will she get a jinx on her. That Jinx will be Horrifico, as this will cause her to be paranoid and jumpy more than she already is.

With Ivory she will be struggling with school, and as the year goes on with her not sleeping like she should.  Making her learning and social skills going down the drain with more time passing for the school year.

Ivory became shorter with Vanora and less… forgiving for when Vanora does things. With less sleep and one day being paranoid about everything, the chances of Ivory snapping at Vanora was higher. Some of them might not even be real as Ivory could be blurring the lines between reality and the nightmare she is having.

Along with that, Ivory confessed to Basile, and the two began to date for a while. In this time, they never kissed or acted like an actual couple, while Ivory did fall in love with him, she grew frustrated about the whole situation. But he was always there for her when she was having a nightmare, and would cuddle with her at these times, ensure that Ivory isn't alone and she would have someone by her when the nightmares took over.

Suddenly the nightmares will stop, this being due to Maggie worried about being caught and was only doing this to figure out a base for how badly she can mess with Ivory. So after that, Ivory will sleep for 20 hours straight. And she won’t fully realize what happened. She won’t fully remember her snapping at Vanora or how long she and Basile have been together, but she will sit and talk to Basile about what they are and she would like to continue to see him.

With the second term of her fifth year, she will be recicivng some letters that will be taunting. And some letters will be eluding to why she was having nightmares, but it will only be two letters she will get randomly through the second semester. But after the potions, not a whole lot will happen. At this point though, Vanora was being drugged and Ivory didn’t do anything to help her.

During her sixth year is when things will take a turn for the worse for Ivory. While Maggie is unable to curse Ivory at all, she will be placing two jinxes on Ivory this time. Horrifico and Megrimo, as both cause fear and paranoia that will affect her all year. As this will be throughout the whole year and the after effects. It will cause Ivory to be more scared of people and what they think of her.

She was slipped love potion to flirt with Leo, a Gryffindor. And she was flirting with him so much Maggie switched to spells so Ivory didn’t flirt any more. This destroyed her relationship with Basile. And her relationship with Vanora was rocky at best. No one seemed to care or do anything to help Ivory.

She got into many fights with Vanora, and she even aimed a spell at Kairi. With that, Kairi told Orwell about the situation. So, Ivory told him everything. Prior to this, Vanora told multiple professors who did nothing. Lorenzo even saw Ivory and she was able to talk her way out of it. So much he got him to talk to Vanora. Ivory began avoiding everyone.

One thing that happens for Ivory is a big thunderstorm. As Ivory will be in the clock or bell tower when the storm happens. And she will be up there crying as she is terrified of thunderstorms and it will be one of the first times she will be alone for a thunderstorm. At this point I do not know if anyone will come and help her out at this moment.

With this, Vanora I believe will be looking for Ivory as Vanora, and the two of them talked.
