Gabriella Monreau

Backstory

Gabriella Monreau was born in early spring 2008 to Raphael and Rosabella Monreau—herself Slytherin and Hufflepuff alumni of Hogwarts, respectively—and raised in the shadow of impeccable expectations. From infancy she was reminded that every wand flourish, every essay, and every new spell was not merely hers but a reflection of the Monreau name. Her father, ever the consummate Slytherin, demanded flawlessness; her mother offered gentle support, yet even that felt like a quiet secret. Meanwhile, Gabriella’s older brother Charles—sorted into Ravenclaw—enjoyed freedom and creativity without reproach. He experimented with experimental broom designs and patronus artistry, his mistakes dismissed, while Gabriella’s slightest misstep felt catastrophic.

At Hogwarts, Gabriella excelled academically—excelling in Charms, Ancient Runes, and Potions—but the Sorting Hat’s hesitation, having considered Slytherin, reminded her that her ambition had roots in her father’s plan. Day after day she buried herself in late-night study, practicing spells while classmates partied, scribbling new enchantments in secret journals, tutoring younger students, and dreaming of ways to ease House tensions with her own versions of healing charms. Beneath her drive lay quiet frustration: she envied Charles’s carefree spirit and resented that her every success was expected, not celebrated. Now, nearing her final year, she faces a choice: conform to her father’s legacy in the Monreau business or forge her own path—perhaps blending Ravenclaw curiosity, Hufflepuff compassion, and Slytherin ambition into something entirely her own.
