Moira Randall

From Absit Omen Lexicon

Moira is a twenty-five year old healer at St. Mungo's Hospital and was engaged to former Minister of Magic Marcus Annwyl.. She is pure-blooded, but has never looked down on anyone because of their background. She attended Hogwarts as a child and did her training as a healer in the United States. She is kind and gentle, but realtively shy and slow to trust outside of work. She is realtively tall and slender with dark brown hair and eyes.

History

Moira was born and raised in London by pure-blood parents. Her parents met at Hogwarts, her mother coming from an extremely poor family; her father's was extremely wealthy. She's never met her grandparents on her father's side as they did not approve of the relationship. Her parents were always accepting and tolerant of everyone, instilling the same qualities in her.

Her mother never seemed to let their wealth affect her. They lived in a simple house, just big enough for their small family. Her father seemed to make the transition easily, glad to leave behind the oppression of having to pretend in Pure-blood society. His family was from old money, and he rarely spoke of how they came into that money. She always assumed their dealings were less then reputable.

She sometimes wondered about her ancestors on his side. She was unsure if they had any ties to the Dark Lord, never wanting to push the subject too far. She was able to do some research while at school and learned that her father was the first of his line to not be placed in Slytherin. Instead he was part of Ravenclaw, as was her mother. She always felt a great deal of pride to also be a member of their house.

In school Moira was extremely studious. She loved to learn new spells and potions and preferred alone time in the library to socializing. She received an E on her N.E.W.T. level exams in Potions, Herbology, Transfiguration, Charms, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. She has always been a quick study and is constantly expanding her knowledge.

Moira was once quick to place her trust in everyone and she made many friends in Hogwarts. But life has taught her to be more cautious. She rarely talks about her time studying to be a healer, which she did in American at St. Dymphna's Hospital for the Weak, Weary and Wounded, only her childhood and current life.

While in America she met a Muggle while visiting Boston and fell in love with him. She was completely devoted to him. He, however, was manipulative, a trait she seemed blind to despite warnings. She dated him for nearly a year before telling him she was a witch. When he found out the truth he could not accept her. He was brought up to be religious and believed her to be from Satan. He exposed her to his community who ambushed her the next time she went to visit him. She managed to escape, but in her flight she received the injury that gave her the scar under her right ear.

Since then she has trusted very few people, and has never told anyone exactly what happened that night. When the posting at St. Mungo’s appeared three months later she knew she had to take it. She was afraid to leave Salem’s Peak to venture into the Muggle world, and the last things she wanted was to constantly live in fear.
