## Biography

### Early Childhood (1928-1939)

Euphemia is the third child and second daughter of Damocles Rowle V and Gretchen Rowle (née Grindelwald).  Her early childhood was spent in Nurmengard during her infamous uncle’s rise to power. Due to the privileged positions her parents occupied in her uncle’s movement, she remained largely untouched by the civil strife in the region.

To reiterate, largely untouched, but not completely.  At a very early age, Effie began seeing what she came to call “rain shadows”--a vision that manifested as a water-like rippling effect around individuals and animals who had less than an hour to live.  Unfortunately, it was several years before she came to understand what the visions meant.

By the time she was eight, however, not only had she figured that out, she had also figured out that sometimes she could do something about it.  Sometimes, she could intervene, and the rain shadow would disappear.

A very quiet and private child, her peculiar talent went unnoticed by her parents until she was 10.

Concerned about what would happen to their daughter once Gretchen’s brother found out about the girl’s unusual gift (his recruitment of Mental Arts practitioners as literal “Thought Police” made that likely), the Rowles hastily relocated to England--the only place in Europe still largely untouched by Gellert’s revolutionary endeavors.

### Hogwarts Years (1939-1943)

Her first two years at Hogwarts were a difficult adjustment for Effie.  Having not grown up around the children of Pureblood British families, she had no friends when she started at the school (her brother did not attend Hogwarts, having been sent to Durmstrang for school, instead; her sister started a year ahead of her and was in a different house).

But third year, everything changed for her when she returned from summer holidays with physical attributes that caught the attention of even the 6th and 7th year boys.  Suddenly she was popular--her light German accent now seen as exotic, rather than odd.  By the end of the year, she’d dated about half of the Slytherin boys in her year and a few in the other Houses, as well.

It was also in her third year, during Care of Magical Creatures class, that she learned about Augureys.  She felt an instant affinity for the birds--and spent many hours after class helping Professor Kettleburn attend to them, and learning everything she could about them.  She also began taking Divination, further developing her peculiar  talent.

In the middle of her fourth year, she briefly “dated” a fifth year in her house for about a month.  Tom Marvolo Riddle was handsome, charming, and just a little bit frightening.  He seemed to get bored with her very quickly though--and she had the distasteful feeling that he was only interested in making someone else jealous.  He wasn’t the sort of guy you broke up with however, so she was glad when he started asking someone else out.  Their involvement did, however, put a damper on her social life--as none of the other boys approached her for the rest of the year.  As a result, she poured herself into her studies, particularly in Divination, where she was top of her class.

Fifth year, however, she caught the eye of a 7th year who took her breath away, Faustian Mulciber.  There was something dangerous about him that excited her--that awoke something dangerous in her.  Something that was heady, intoxicating, passionate.... A predatory look in his eye that made her melt with desire, and that also led to her not returning to Hogwarts after a hurriedly arranged wedding over the winter holidays.

In June of the following year, just after Faustian graduated, the couple was blessed with twins, Emmaline and Sabellicus.

### Post Hogwarts Years through the First Wizarding War (1943-1981)

After the twins started at Hogwarts, and at the suggestion of her husband, Effie took a position in the Ministry as an Unspeakable, further developing her innate talent for divination.

After a few short years, however, she grew tired of just watching others who were about to die, and decided to do something about it, leaving the Unspeakables for a job at St. Mungo's.

Euphemia’s daughter, Emmaline, married James Worthington III, a wizard with a promising career in politics.

In the mid 1970s, during a political debate between James Worthington and an opponent of his party, Death Eaters and Order of the Phoenix members clashed--causing mass panic as audience members fled to safety. Emmaline (who had been watching from backstage), interposed herself between her husband and the Prewett twins as they aimed for the robed Death Eater behind him.  She was killed in the crossfire.  The Death Eater the Prewetts had actually been aiming for, was her father.

The sympathy James Worthington got, following his wife’s death, is credited with helping him become Senior Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic.

At least 2 (and possibly 3) of the 5 Death Eaters who killed Gideon and Fabian Prewett in late 1981 were Mulcibers.

Following the First Wizarding War, both Euphemia’s husband and son were imprisoned in Azkaban.  Their status as Death Eaters was reported widely in Wizarding news.  She was forced to resign from her position in St. Mungo's, and stopped using her married name as a result.

### After the First Wizarding War through the Second Wizarding War (1981-1998)

Her husband and son were both killed in or shortly following the Battle of Hogwarts in the Second Wizarding War (both having sworn never to return to Azkaban again, they fought until they were killed).  Euphemia’s grandson Damien, however, was imprisoned in Azkaban along with her nephew, Thorfinn Rowle.

Euphemia’s participation in the Second Wizarding War, however, was limited to harboring and healing Death Eaters--primarily her husband, son, grandson and nephew.

Embittered by the loss of so many members of her family, Effie has grown to be a very cold, hard, woman.

## Delphini Riddle Rowle

And, after the war’s conclusion, she grudgingly agreed to care for Delphini Riddle--and, yes, mostly for the gold. As Delphini is currently an infant, Euphemia Rowle will also be responsible for dictating the actions of Delphini.
