Sky O'Connor is a Gryffindor student and twin sister of Shade O'Connor. Stubborn, obnoxious, rude, interrupting, but fiercely loyal of friends and family, to the point it’s almost obscene. Sky will do anything to keep those she cares about safe.
History
Orphaned at 5 months old. What a way to start out life. Sky remembers nothing of her parents or any other family members because no one really remembers anything when they are that young. Her earliest memories are those of an orphanage with lots of other children, a not-so-young couple taking them home, and then privileged living from then on.
Nothing much is known about the twins’ birth family, they were found in a destroyed shack in the valley just off the property of Barcaldine Castle near Oban, Scotland. They were rescued, fed, clothed and then taken to the orphanage where they lived for a year and a half before they were adopted by the wealthy O’Connor couple.
Growing up wealthy was amazing for Sky, she loved all the gifts, the attention, and did she mention gifts. Sky was a little spoiled growing up as Rosalie and Breton loved having a little girl around. They tried to buy her pretty dresses and hair accessories, but as Sky grew older, they realized that she was a tomboy through and through and no amount of lace would change that.
When Sky was six years old she came into her magic in the most unorthodox way. Most kids and their accidental magic go after things they don’t want to do, people they don’t like, or food they don’t want to eat. Sky, on the other hand, on one December morning her parents went to wake her up and found her already awake with about 3 cats and 2 dogs inside her room. She’d summoned them through her window because (as she told her parents) it was too cold for them outside.
When she received her letter to Hogwarts, Sky squealed loud enough to break glass, she was over-excited. Her mood drastically deflated when she realized there was a letter from Durmstrang also. Her father’s family had been going to Durmstrang ever since the school opened, and the twins were expected to go there. After a monumental fit, that was entirely fake and her parents knew it, Rosalie convinced her husband to let the kids decide which school they would like to go to. Sky loudly exclaimed that she wanted to go to Hogwarts, she knew her twin would follow.
With her brother around, schoolwork came easy for Sky, although she didn’t always make the best marks. She managed to scrape through by the skin of her teeth to her seventh year. Even her parents didn’t think she’d make it that far.
Two months before the twins’ seventh year a letter came to them from Gringotts. It was about an inheritance that neither of them knew they had. After going to the bank they received their grandfather’s will and three letters. The first letter was from their paternal grandfather, the second from their paternal uncle, and the third from their maternal grandfather, all of whom were deceased.
The letters from their father’s side didn’t explain much, just that they’d added significant amounts of money every year until they passed. It was the letter from their mother’s father that told them what had caused them to be orphans. Upon reading it, over her brother’s shoulder, Sky slammed her hand down on the table in the side room they were sitting in and stormed out of the bank.
She was furious, how could one man be so heartless and cruel. She tried to apparate home but was so angry that she ended up splinching herself. Most of her body made it to the far end of Diagon Alley, but her left hand stayed at the bottom of the steps of Gringotts. Her brother knew something was wrong and he and their parents made it in time to get her to St. Mungo’s where she stayed for three days to make sure everything was back in working order. The letter was never mentioned again.
