Born second into the family, in time becoming the middle child, Eliora Amorette was born to Yasmin Ariadne and Cassian Alastair Dodderidge in the early hours of Wednesday the 13th November in 2058. She accompanied the already born Elspeth Ambrosia, four years old at the time of Eliora's birth, and the family's dog Morris. Merely a year after Eliora's birth, the family welcomed the last of their trio into the world and named him Ramsey Achilles. The family of five (six including Morris) resided in Edinburgh until Ramsey turned six, and then they relocated to Plymouth in association with Cassian's new job on the coastline. Whilst the experience of living near the coast was thrilling for the three children, Yasmin and Cassian's marriage suffered and she moved back to Scotland with their three children after only 18 months of being in the South of the country.

Cassian joined his family in Scotland six months later, and he and his wife attended intense therapy sessions and worked through their problems. This was the last serious incident that Eliora or her siblings recall as their parents settled back into routine and happiness soon after. Each of the three children attended different education institutions, Elspeth heading to Beauxbatons like their mother, Eliora to Hogwarts and Ramsey to Durmstrang like their father. At Hogwarts, Eliora was sorted into Gryffindor and spent the full seven academic years of her stay in the castle serving as a loyal lion finishing with a well earned set of grades and a place at the Wizarding University of London studying Experimental Magic & Research and Potions. The two things she was most interested in. Whilst living and learning in London, Eliora took a job at a restaurant to pay for the things she would need alongside her education and started the first of her many years at university.

She completed two years of her degree without problem,but started her third year as a part time student so that she could do more hours at her new job working at Teen Witch Weekly. The career path wasn't what she hoped for herself, but the hours and pay were what she needed and she was able to split her time between school and work efficiently this way. Eli embarked on many a relationship during this time, finding the thrill of more than one “friend” more exciting than any of the gossip coming into the magazine offices. She became the gossip. Young and naïve, she fell hard for a married man who refused to leave his wife despite moving Eliora into their own flat. She was working, studying and having a serious relationship at the same time as seeing other fellows to keep her friends and family away from her secret affair.

However, in the April of 2080, Eliora found out she was expecting. Not a promotion, but a baby. She was unaware of who the father was, but told her boyfriend that it was his only to be greeted with having her bags packed and having to move back home. It was over. She had ruined it and he wasn’t hers to love any more. With the father well and truly out of the picture, Eli had one of three choices and changed her mind over the duration of the pregnancy which she was going to do. In the October of 2080, whilst still working and attending school part time, Eliora gave birth to a little girl and named her Briar-Rose Alivia Dodderidge and was back at work the day after. Being a single parent didn't affect her like her friend and family thought it would and she took to it like a duck to water. Her parents looked after her daughter when Eli had classes or hours at work and she worked out a sufficient enough schedule with both places so she could at least be home in time to put her little one to bed and be available when needed.

It was nearing Briar's first birthday when Eliora was offered a promotion, which she gladly took, and worked both her previous job and new job at the same time between the August and November of 2081 until a suitable replacement was found for her. She worked efficiently as an assistant for a little under two years when she left her job to finish the last little bits of her degree up and figure out what she was going to do after this. In the September of 2083, Eliora moved out of her parents home in Edinburgh into a small two bedroom flat in Surrey that she rented from a friend for a price low enough to afford without employment. Her parents provided her with a folder of job applications for her 25th birthday, and she applied to each and every one of them, proving successful in many and choosing one she knew she'd enjoy at the British Ministry of Magic.

In her first year of employment at the Ministry, Eliora moved her small family into a house a few streets away from their current Surrey flat. The rent was ridiculous, but with the prospect of settling down and having more children in the next ten years on the horizon, Eliora felt that it was most appropriate to have her own house with a garden for her daughter to play in. Eliora formed close relationships with colleagues, finally securing herself a small friendship circle that understood her employment requirements and more often than not, her parental ones.

She entered a relationship with Nathan Prince in the November of 2085 after meeting him in a bar a few months prior. By December of the following year, the couple were expecting their first child together and Levi Alexander was born in the June of 2087, which surprisingly was the biggest downfall of their relationship. Eliora could not find room in her life for a man now that she had two children and asked Nathan to move out of her house before breaking up with him. He moved abroad and sees the kids when he can.

Nearing ten years after she started working at the Ministry, Eliora found herself worrying that this was all she was going to be in life. She had reached her peak and there was no real progression available for her there. She had seen colleagues and friends come and go over the years and yet she was still there. Was she turning into the new Ursula? Department furniture? So she sat down with her boss and expressed that she was going to be leaving at the end of the year for something 'new'. Not that that worked out. Eliora had been planning to settle into her new job whilst finishing up at the Ministry, but managed a two hour shift on a Saturday before walking out and never returning. Luckily, she hadn't officially left the Ministry and was able to withdraw her resignation and pretend that nothing had happened.

In the late months of 2097, Eliora was called to the office of the new Minister for Magic, Charles Hollingberry and it was there that she was offered the position of Department Head after Maddox Quigley. She accepted, and here we stand.
