Backstory

I was a Gryffindor student and excelled in every subject at school, even taking extra classes, but my passions were care of magical creatures and defence against the dark arts. My least favourite class was Arithmacy but I refused to give it up and perseverance got me top marks in the end. I often found history of magic rather boring but was nonetheless a top student. My favourite escape from my studies was quidditch. I loved to compete for my house team. I had been flying a broom since I could walk! I love the freedom that flying gives you. I think my father was hoping I might play quidditch professionally when I grew up, but unfortunately I was far more interested in looking after and helping to save the magical and non-magical creatures of our world. Being a half-blood witch I had grown up fully aware of both the Wizarding World and the Muggle world. My love for animals comes from my Muggle mother, who's career has been spent involved with wildlife conservation. She has helped save endangered animals all over the world. My pureblood father on the other hand is an Auror and a massive quidditch fan. He was captain of the quidditch team when he went to Hogwarts and was all set to play for England until he lost an arm in a particularly nasty duel with a dark wizard. Dad then turned to his back up plan and became an Auror. Anyway now I've graduated school I have spent the last year on a mission to help save endangered magical and non-magical creatures and this is my dream job. Although I think my parents were hoping I would move out at some point and I haven't yet, but I just love our farm too much. Plus it's the perfect place to bring any creatures back to. We have quite a large collection now. My mum loves learning about all the magical creatures I bring home and looking after them, however I don't think my parents were too thrilled about my latest pet.
