aurora
Aurora Travers was born a year after her older brother James to a pair of alcoholics. Life was, to say the least, difficult: the 'family' struggled to make ends meet and so lived in a one-bedroom trailer that was broken down beyond repair. Their father was more often than not found in a pub, drinking away his sorrows. He'd come home every night and take out his frustrations on his wife and children - well, mostly his wife. James was Aurora's shield throughout this, trying to stop her from knowing just how bad it could get. But she saw enough.

When their father left, Aurora was 5 years old. It was a relief, but that didn't last long. The remainder of the family became even poorer and the 6-year-old James was pressured by his mother into doing jobs for people: he was, in her eyes, the new man of the house despite his age and was expected to act like it. With her brother working, Aurora was sent out to beg: she was unusually pretty even at that age and her mother used that to her advantage.

Tom Hartwell was a godsend; he swooped in and saved both Aurora and James from what would have undoubtedly become a lifetime in foster homes. He took them in when they were at their lowest, and built them back up. They weighed ten pounds under the average at the meek age of seven and six; it was a matter of life or death, when he received a call from the auror office claiming his sister had been arrested for prostitution and her kids needed a new home. He had a quaint home in the countryside, away from all the drama, and James was able to make a home for himself there. The worst part was over. Although Tom and Leah were far from rich, they had the means to support them both and their three children; Jack, Dylan and Gaby. (She hates her actual name, don't ask.) It was more than anything either could have ever hoped for.


 * got physically healthy p quickly but retained the mental health problems - ptsd, trust issues (especially with men)
 * first sign of magic was when she accidentally caused a boy in her class's hair to fall out because he made fun of her hand-me-down schoolbag
 * she and her brother were working on their relationship but then tom was in debt. he moved them to the slums where the serpents live & started to use the boys to pay his debts, doing odd jobs. aurora, leah and gaby were left at home, because Tom didn't want to include the girls. james and aurora were separated for days on end, and they began to drift apart again.
 * uncle did quite a lot of murdering but at least he wasn't like their mother, who constantly relapsed and insisting she be given her children back. aurora's never seen her since she came to live with her uncle, but she knows james did. she just wasn't interested in a relationship with her mother - leah is more than enough - and james said it wasn't a great meeting anyway.
 * when james turned 11, they realised they didn't have enough money for both he and aurora to go to school, so he just didn't go. aurora's literally felt bad about this for years. anyway the next year came around and since she'd always been an above average student, and she came from a disadvantaged background, she received a full scholarship for beauxbatons in france. she would have preferred to go to hogwarts since they spoke english there and there were more serpents, but this way both she and her brother could get an education. so she went. she was separated from james but honestly it was worth it.
 * now back in britain for her fifth year - she was offered a place at hogwarts to take her owls and she took it because honestly beauxbatons is boring without any serpents

Everyone knows the story of Madam Celestina Warbeck's rise to fame. Born to a wizard father and a muggle mother in Wales, it's common knowledge that Celestina displayed her talent young. She attended Hogwarts, because WADA hadn't been founded at the time, and her mother bombarded the school with letters demanding that they form a theatre club, dancing class and a choir in order to show off her daughter's innumerable talents - these, notably, have persisted to this day. Everyone wants to be the next Celestina Warbeck.

After school, Celestina's popularity skyrocketed with her debut album. She acquired a mob of undying fans, ranging in identity from little girls to old men who like a bit of jazz now and again. Once, three devoted fans were involved in a three-broom pile-up over Liverpool on the last night of her 'Flighty Aphrodite' tour, which caused a stir because they were seen by at least four different muggles, all of whom had to be located and obliviated.

Perhaps more often remarked upon, however, is Celestina's love life. Early on in her career she married one of her backup dancers, but this broke down after a year and she went on to marry her manager instead. They had one son, Cladeus, who was given Celestina's surname (she doesn't need no man), and sadly had zero musical talent - he was, however, a very talented actor, and went on to receive almost as much acclaim for his work on the stage as his mother. But not quite.

Cladeus was Gryffindor at school, just like his mother, and it was there he met the love of his life, a quiet Ravenclaw boy called Xander Adeyemi. Against all expectations the two managed to stay together without incident from fourth year until they graduated and married. Xander became an unspeakable while Cladeus went on to further his acting career, and the press lapped it up. It was the perfect opposites attract love story.

When the couple decided they wanted to have children one of Cladeus' actress friends volunteered as a surrogate - she insisted that the child should have a quality biological mother, one with beauty and talent in spades. By this, she meant herself, the one and only Beatriz Shehi, and she went on to carry children twice for Cladeus and Xander: the first, a boy named Cassius, and the second a girl called Cordelia.
