SPOILER!!: A Very Long History

Ari was born in suburban Edinburgh on February 12, 2084 as the second child and daughter to witch Jacqueline (then Wedgwood) Chastain and Muggle Hamish Wedgwood. Their first child and daughter, Caileigh Sylvia Wedgwood, was born three years before Ari.

Hamish Wedgwood is a Scottish-born and bred Muggle. He served as a university Associate Professor in the Anthropology department for a couple years before signing up for international nonprofit initiatives and eventually the government. He felt that it was his calling to defend those who do not have a voice, and thus his platforms often included aiding international hunger and poverty. During his first internship in the Scottish government, he met Jacqueline for the first time. They fell in love and eventually married.

Jacqueline Chastain is an English-born witch who spent much of her childhood in France, where many of her relatives reside. She thus grew a fondness for the country and its culture. She attended both Hogwarts and Beauxbatons intermittently, due to her parents’ frequent travels that resulted from their occupations as diplomats to the French Ministry of Magic. Chastain, similarly, found herself interested in diplomacy, especially between wizards and Muggles. She was an intern when she met Wedgwood in Scotland.

The couple had their two children in Scotland, but moved to England when both Wedgwood and Chastain sought better career prospects in London, where Wedgwood could work closer to the UK parliament and Chastain, the British Ministry of Magic. While the family was close and content, it was never fulfilling. It took a while for Chastain to realize why she was, essentially, miserable despite having a loving family. She missed France. She missed the food, the culture, the way of life, and much of her friends and family. It was a difficult decision, but when the opportunity came for Chastain to move to France as a diplomat, she took the offer.

At first, the plan was for Chastain to live in France for a year. She took the girls with her, eight and eleven at the time. After living in France, however, Chastain found herself reluctant to return to England. Hamish, on the other hands, was unable to convince his superiors to transfer him to France (not that he wanted to, either). Eventually, a divorce ensued, as the two could not find a way to arrange a situation in which both parties could be happy. The divorce was difficult, as the couple still had feelings for each other. But at the end, their love was not enough to keep them together.

While Caileigh, who had already attended a year of Beauxbaton at the time, was in love with and preferred to stay in France with their mother. Ari, however, disliked the "properness" and self-conscious culture of the wizarding community there and thus insisted on returning to England to live with their father. She has been residing in England ever since, occasionally visiting her mother in France and taking frequent trips to Scotland.

Ari has a close relationship with her father, a loving relationship with her mother, despite being so far apart, and a funky relationship with her sister. Ari inherited much of her father's looks and personalities, while her older sister inherited much of their mother's genes. Caileigh embraces culture and decorum. Ari prefers being out and about, subverting civility and exploring her own fascinations. Although Ari and Caileigh often bicker over frivolous things, they love each other deep at heart.
