Backstory
Hello. I'm just a ghost but let me tell you my tale since you asked. Born as a half-blood in at the end of the 1700s on an arranged marriage with my pureblood mother, Meiyi Chen, to my muggle father, Jacob Withum, to strength the trading and wealth of both families. My mother was known for her eastern "healing" to the best but it was just very good healing magic. I also had two other siblings, one older and one younger and we all live in this big manor tend to by servent and other unfortunate people. We weren't loved much from other people, even our own family only seem to see us as tools, our parents, on the other hand, loved us. My mother would spend hours with us instead of talking hours with the other ladies, our father, whenever he could, he would teach us how to deal in trading seeing as he wants us to expand the family business when we grow up. We were taught with all things a noble child of the Withum family would learn, music, formal dancing, literature, history, however, by our mother we were also taught how to use magic and their history and math. We were taught with many things, but my older brother decided to pick to be a writer and run off to the magical kingdom to wirte his books, where he would become known to the be "Withum the Words". Too bad he died only a few years after his new title. I decided to take the mantel of being the head of the family business and my younger sister is backing me up. I did not want to do this but I know my family would never allow my sister to take over since she is a woman and the fact I know she was not ready to make the family money decisions. If I had not taken it, my uncle, Samuel, would take it and would not even give us a single money when we needed it, seeing as we were just "foreigners". I did, however, decide to tech my sister more about the family business so I could let her take the business while I will just be the figurehead since I wanted to be a healer. Always has been and always wants to. After 3 years, she was ready and become the head of the family in all but name while I manage to start my business as a healer. It was known to be so great, that nearly the royal family wanted to see our work but then it all went downhill when the seemingly "Everlasting Winter" came and "witches" were put on trail everywhere. Then they target me and my sister simply just because of my magical healings and the fact that we were "foreigners" lead a mad mod agist us. The most mess up thing is that my uncle had led the mod, giving speeches and fake testament about us using witchcraft for our own gain and so much more. We both pleaded that it was not true and we were heard, after all, I did save a lot of people in the town but it fell on deaf ears and we heard our sentence, I was to behang although I was supposed to be burry and have the right of a noble lord death. My poor sister was not so lucky, she was supposed to be drowned at the lake and then have her pulled up body to be done something horrible only to burn afterward. I did not know what happen to her if she had escaped with her magic or is ashes, we were kept separate. I was going to used my magic to get out of there but we were never to be taught how to apparate and our wands were not by us, our uncle took it away and used it as advice agist us. So I have hung to death and my dear sister, I never got to know what happens to her. I later came back as a ghost to see what happened to her, only to find nothing. That is my tale, however, I'm a ghost that is not tied down to anything, so I will roam around this world, looking for new information, everything that will help me and I will keep on searching for my sister or her descendants.
