✨Background:
Aurora grew up as the eldest of eight siblings in a magical-meets-muggle manor on the edge of the English countryside. Her mother, Celestine Montclair, hails from an ancient line of pure-blood witches known for their elegance, intellectual prowess, and a touch of dramatic flair. She is a celebrated herbologist known for creating hybrid magical flora.

Her father, Daniel Montclair, is a brilliant muggle architect who became fascinated with magical structures and eventually designed wizard-friendly homes that subtly blend into the muggle world.

Their story is one of love at first sight — Daniel saw Celestine at a botanical showcase and was taken aback by her poise, mystery, and effortless grace. Learning she was a witch shook his sense of reality, but he soon realized that magic didn’t frighten him — losing her did. With time, acceptance, and genuine curiosity, Daniel embraced the magical world and became one of the most successful liaisons between magical and non-magical society.

They own an enchanted botanical retreat and apothecary chain that operates in both magical and muggle spaces—meaning they’ve amassed considerable wealth on both sides. Their combined talents led to great success and wealth in both muggle and wizarding realms. However, despite their affluence, the Montclair family is known for being warm, loving, and unpretentious. But more importantly, they raised their children with a deep respect for both worlds.

Aurora is the eldest of eight siblings, which has made her a natural leader, nurturer, and diplomat. She’s the one her younger siblings turn to for help with homework (both magical and muggle), and bedtime stories. While she deeply loves her siblings, she harbors a quiet wish for independence and adventure.Her Hogwarts letter arrived one morning tied around a tawny owl’s leg, and though she suspected it would come, the moment still left her breathless.

💌 Hogwarts Journey:
Aurora received her Hogwarts letter on a quiet morning in July. Though she always knew it would come, the arrival of her Hogwarts letter still felt surreal. Delivered by a tawny owl with starlit feathers, the parchment glowed faintly in the dawn light. Her name etched in curling script made her heart leap.

With bags packed, Marzipan purring at her feet, and her wand newly chosen, Aurora stepped onto Platform 9¾ with a smile that masked nervous wonder. At Hogwarts, she quickly finds herself captivated by Magical Creatures, Transfiguration, and Charms. She’s fascinated by the diversity of magic across cultures and was ready—not just to learn magic, but to become her truest self.

🪄 Personality Traits:
~ Inquisitive & Thoughtful: Aurora is a Ravenclaw through and through. She’s known for asking “why?” and “what if?” more than “how?” and “when?”

~ Elegant but Grounded: With a timeless sense of style, Aurora blends her mother's elegance with her own modern flair. She wears tailored robes with muggle accessories—silk bows, dainty pins, saddle shoes—and believes grace is a form of quiet magic.

~ Compassionate Leader: She has a strong sense of responsibility, especially when it comes to younger students or magical creatures.

~ Creative Thinker: She loves magical creatures, charms, and flying. Her favorite pastime is sketching new inventions or designs for magical accessories.

📚 Hobbies and Interests:
~ Care of Magical Creatures – She adores learning about misunderstood magical beasts and hopes to one day protect them.

~ Quidditch – A graceful seeker with a tactical mind and a love for the wind in her hair.~ Art & Enchantment – She designs magical accessories—jewelry that changes color with mood, quills that sing lullabies, and brooches that hold whispered memories.

~ Reading & Writing – Aurora has a taste for obscure magical texts and muggle’s take on “fiction fantasy”, often blending both into her journal.

~ Charms & Flying – Two subjects that make her feel both grounded and free.

🌱Dreams for the Future:
Aurora is a bit of a dreamer. On any given day, she can see herself becoming a:

~ Magizoologist, trekking through misty valleys and befriending the misunderstood creatures of the world.

~ Professional Quidditch Seeker, she imagines flying beneath starlit skies, known for her elegance and fearlessness.

~ Proprietor of a Magical Café & Bookshop, a space where witches, wizards, and magical beings gather to talk philosophy, pet Puffskeins, and sip on star-infused cocoa.

But most of all, she hopes to become someone who makes others feel seen. Someone who listens, who learns, and who leaves a little light wherever she goes.

For now, though, Aurora is simply a first-year at Hogwarts—and that is magical enough.

I don’t need to know the end, I just want to enjoy the magic of the middle. -Aurora B. Montclair
