Vital Information
Meadow Maestro is a Half-Blood witch of English, Italian and Spanish descent. She is the only daughter of Anthony Maestro and Marina Yaxley.

Life Before Hogwarts
Six months after she was born motherhood was no longer the life Marina Yaxley wanted to explore any further. She was miserable as a single parent, and before her daughter Meadow could celebrate her first birthday the infant was moving over 3000 miles away to be left in the care of the father she might have never known.

Meadow was raised by her father Anthony, her uncle Shane, and his wife Alexia. Her father and his brother were born in East Meadow New York. They raised their daughters in the same small West Philadelphia neighborhood their grandfather raised their father in. Growing up Meadow loved living with her father, and her uncle in Cedar Park. By the age of four she met her uncle Shane's daughter, her cousin Melania. Three years later the girls learning Charms and Herbology from their dads. Her dad was a bit embarrassing - she only thought so because of how much he loved her. Meadow's American friends all liked him, as he was the dad they wish they had. They were there for the sparkly glove, the one he bought for her seventh birthday. They watched along with Meadow as it lay on the floor, almost covered in ice cream by then. Meadow will always remember Anthony banging his knee, and his head reaching down underneath the table to get it back for her.

His exploits tend to cause him to lose control of his magic, the explosions causing a Backfiring Jinx. The result has been lethal on numerous occasions. He has met with mild success, and relies heavily on his skill in Herbology for income in the magical world to provide for his only daughter Meadow. She was sent back to her mother a few years before her Hogwarts Acceptance Letter arrived.

There was a struggle between Meadow and her mother their first few months together upon Meadow's return back to her place of birth. Away from her beloved father, and the life she knew, the home she never wanted to leave Marina and Meadow quickly discovered they had no precious memories of the relationship they were supposed to have to build off of. Before Marina taught Meadow to play the violin the little girl would often start to believe that her mother was not actually her mother. She would start to wonder if her father had sent her to Kent because of the danger his magic poses to them in Cedar Park. From as far away as he was, and as unhappy as they both were to be apart from one another. He was protecting her, as he had always done.

It took a few years, four years exactly, for Marina and Meadow to soften up to one another. Marina's husband Corvus has always been what united them. He is still not privy to the whispers, and the giggles shared between mother and daughter. His role as an outsider is one he has come to accept lovingly despite how disdainfully Meadow says his name. Only he knows of Marina's deeply rooted fear of the day Meadow will no longer show the same idolization they have come to recognize in her eyes when she looks at her mother. To Meadow her mother is quick-witted, fearless, and beautiful. Meadow will do everything in her power to be exactly like her.

"♪Betcha on land they understand, bet they don't reprimand♪ ... my goodness, there are some strange currents and yet more exotic shallows in these parts, aren't there? A thicket of feelings, a living bushel perchance under which to entomb the light of veracious emotion. Lots of growth, an abundance of energy but ... few sources, aquifers of deliberate concealment, it would appear. We've gone well past honour with Mother, haven't we, but poor Father (either one) hardly bathes in the same radiance. And certainty, well, I'm fairly sure I could shape horseshoes round it. Role model is one thing, my dear, this Elektran potential replacement motif you have etched into the walls here - highly disturbing. Still, your business, and isn't there a barbed-wire, high-voltage, Doberman Pinscher-supported fence around that issue. ♪Be a clown, be a clown, all the world loves a♪ ah, but you don't, do you? At least, not in public. It's attention you can't channel, energy you can't curb, proof that the universe doesn't turn on your will, that it can't always be bludgeoned into submission. Hmm, well, it's not as if I had any doubts, the decor after all is Early through Late Ambition, still SLYTHERIN!"
