PERSONAL HISTORYIt was a simple love story between a girl and a boy. The two met at Hogwarts where they were Gryffindors. They were married a few years after they graduated. They had a child named Lynn. Unfortunately, Lynn’s mother died during childbirth, so Lynn was raised by her father. The two got along quite well. Her father taught her everything she needed to know about the wizarding world. He did not teach her to discriminate against muggles however, unlike many other pureblood families. She was taught to not care about blood.
Lynn received her invitation to Hogwarts at age 11, like every other student. On September 1st, she kissed her father goodbye and hopped onto the Hogwarts Express. She was sorted into Gryffindor for her courage and all of her other Gryffindor traits.

Lynn had a very Gryff-like personality. She was nice to everyone around her, talking to people she did and didn’t know, whether they were popular or not. She was well liked by the rest of the school, for the most part, for her friendliness and for being so outgoing. She was constantly in trouble with the teachers for talking during class, pranking people, starting rebellions against the professors, and just doing completely reckless and crazy things. She wasn’t Head Girl or Prefect, for they picked much more responsible people for that job, but she was Quidditch captain. Her father owned Quality Quidditch Supplies, the Quidditch supply shop on Diagon Alley, and had been Quidditch Captain back in his day too. He had taught Lynn everything he knew about Quidditch. In a word, Lynn was popular.

Nothing much changed after she graduated. She didn’t settle down much but luckily she got a job. Her father hired her, actually. She worked at his shop as a full-time worker. She had been working there during the summer for every year since she was old enough to say “Wanna broomstick?” so she already knew everything she needed to know to be a good worker. (All of those summers working there really helped when it came to the only class she excelled in at Hogwarts: Arithmancy.) She enjoyed the time she was able to spend with her father, and attracted many customers with her happy personality.

Everything changed on the fatal night of September 14th. Lynn had gone to a Quidditch game with her friends. Her father had agreed to let her go and had said that he would close the store that night by himself. That night, Death Eaters entered Diagon Alley, harassing, threatening, and killing people as they went. When Lynn returned home that night, her dad wasn’t home. She and her father lived a few hundred feet from the Leaky Cauldron so she entered Diagon Alley to make sure he wasn’t still at the store. She found Aurors everywhere, Ministry of Magic officials investigating the crimes and murders that had occurred earlier that night. She ran, sprinted, to her father’s shop and found him dead in the store, surrounded by men and women collecting evidence. Lynn was only 19 years old.

PERSONALITY
Before, Lynn was happy. She was brave, crazy, reckless, a rebel towards authority figures, popular, nice, talkative, and smiley. People liked her attitude. Other than the studious students, students looked to her as a role model.

Her personality changed drastically the day her father was found dead. She barely talks to anyone anymore other than the customers and even then, she only talks when she has to tell them a price or brand name. She is very serious now, never laughing or smiling like she used to. She no longer hangs out with her friends. Her now cold appearance frightens children and adults alike. She is secluded now, nothing like the exciting, adventure-seeking girl she was at Hogwarts. She hasn’t ridden on a broom since.
