Personality: (Literate & Novella)

Aurelia Scamander is a free-spirited and adventurous young witch with a deep love for magical creatures. She inherited her grandfather’s ion for understanding and protecting them, often going out of her way to help any magical beast in need. Her curiosity and bravery make her a perfect fit for Gryffindor, though she has a rebellious streak that sometimes lands her in trouble. She questions authority, especially when rules seem unfair or harmful, making her a frequent opponent of figures like Umbridge.

Despite her intelligence and sharp instincts, she is sometimes too impulsive for her own good, often jumping into danger without thinking things through. She can be stubborn, refusing to back down when she believes in something. However, she has a kind heart, always standing up for those who are mistreated—whether they are creatures or people. She is fiercely loyal to her friends and has an adventurous spirit that pushes her to explore Hogwarts’ every hidden corner. Her biggest flaw is that she struggles with opening up about her emotions, often bottling up her fears and worries, choosing instead to focus on helping others rather than addressing her own struggles.

Backstory (Literate & Novella)

Aurelia Scamander was born into a family of Magizoologists, growing up surrounded by fantastic beasts from the moment she could walk. Her grandfather, Newt Scamander, was her biggest inspiration—she would listen for hours to his stories of traveling the world, documenting creatures that many feared or misunderstood. Her parents also worked closely with magical creatures, further fostering her love and respect for them. However, life wasn’t always easy. Growing up in the shadow of Newt’s legacy meant there were high expectations placed on her, something that weighed heavily on her shoulders.

When she received her Hogwarts letter, she was both excited and nervous. She worried about fitting in, knowing she was different from most of the students. However, Hogwarts quickly became a second home for her, and she found her place among the Gryffindors. She formed strong friendships with Harry, Ron, and Hermione, often aiding them in their adventures by using her knowledge of magical creatures to help them.

During her third year, she began to assist Hagrid with his creatures, further deepening their bond. She often defended him when others ridiculed his teaching methods. However, her rebellious nature sometimes put her in conflict with the school’s rules, leading to many detentions (especially from Snape). She despised Umbridge when she arrived in her fifth year and was one of the first to Dumbledore’s Army. She believed in fighting for what was right, even if it meant breaking the rules.

As the Second Wizarding War escalated, Aurelia played an active role in the resistance. She helped care for injured magical creatures and secretly aided the Order of the Phoenix whenever she could. During the Battle of Hogwarts, she fought bravely alongside her friends, using her knowledge of magical beasts to her advantage. After the war, she followed in her grandfather’s footsteps, traveling the world to study and protect magical creatures, determined to continue his legacy while forging her own path.
