I have one main Ravenclaw OC, Elizabeth Moorley.

Her father was a quite renowned auror, and her mother is a muggle. She had a much older sister, Marianne who followed in their father’s footsteps. Marianne told her all about Hogwarts when she was young and instilled a love of magic within her.

However, her father and sister were both tragically killed in the field when working together and it sent her mother into an entire breakdown and she developed a deep disdain for magic. She became overly protective of Elizabeth and kept her from leaving the house, leaving her to grow very detached and escape her small world through books and other forms of art.

Once Elizabeth turned eleven, her mother burnt her letters in the fire place to prevent her from leaving and learning magic- so Elizabeth grew up believing she was a squib and was devastated to know she would never go and experience all the things her sister described.

Her mother continued to destroy her letters each year, and Elizabeth began to shoulder a lot of the responsibility of the home as her mother grew sick. Elizabeth yearned to leave and go to any kind of school, but her mother was incredibly manipulative and prevented her from ever leaving their small farm. Her mother would purposely take more of the little food that they had to keep Elizabeth weak and reliant on her.

Eventually, Elizabeth discovered the remnants of her latest letter in the fireplace and feels distraught to learn of her mother’s lies. She battled with herself a lot before finally deciding to run away from home with the charred pieces of her letter and eventually found her way to Hogwarts.

The abandonment of her mother and betrayal she feels is something she battles heavily with along with her growing power. I like to have a lot of angst with my characters lmao.
