Audrey Hughes was born on 1979-04-01 as the firstborn child of Ianto and Ruzena Hughes. She grew up loved and cherished, and her earliest memories are of her playing in her father's greenhouse, waving a giant leaf at her infant brother's face. She grew up around plants, and has a natural affinity for herbology, though she never was passionate about it in the way that her father and younger brother were-- which was a big disappointment to Ianto, though he never showed it.
Instead, her focus, from a very young age, was making things with her hands. Figures with clay, pictures with paint, and even (To her mother's frustration), doodling on the walls. She got her first camera for her tenth birthday, and was from then on, snapping pictures of anything that inspired her. Many family photos do not have her in them, as she was often the person behind the camera.
When she was eleven years old, she was sent to Hogwarts and placed into Slytherin. Her veela charm brought her a lot of unwanted attention, and it made her nervous that people only wanted to be around her because of the charm, not because of any of her internal qualities. She began questioning her friendships, wondering if they were only superficial-- and many were. When she was 14, her parents gave birth to a little sister.
Her self-confidence dropped, and she became reclusive and had a tendency to lash out at others, sometimes violently. In her fifth year, her parents realized that enough was enough, and such a large school environment wasn't what was best for her. She was homeschooled and tutored from then on, taking NEWT exams when she was 17. She received O's in Potions and Herbology, an E in Care of Magical Creatures, but nothing higher than an A in the rest of her tested subjects.
After her NEWTs were over, she tried her hand at travelling and specifically, getting to know muggles. She soon got pregnant, and claimed that the father was a muggle, and that she didn't want to turn his life upside down by introducing him to a whole new world.
Linus was born when she was only nineteen years old. They lived with her parents for five years, while she worked as a freelance photographer to bring in money until she eventually opened up her own studio. It wasn't long after that that she took a loan out on a small cottage in Hogsmeade, close to where she worked.
For the past six years, she has been working as a photographer/business owner, taking pictures for advertisements, family photos, special events and whatever else her clients want.
