Cordelia Winklebleck was born into the failing marriage of muggles Lillian Winklebleck and Robert Winklebleck. When she was only 2, Robert left and was never heard from again. Lillian did not cope well with raising a child alone. Cordelia was taken into the foster care system when she was 3 due to Lillian not being able to properly care for Cordelia. Strange things often happened to Cordelia which she would later find out was magic, like toys floating and people she didn’t like getting hurt under mysterious circumstances. It was hard for her to connect to other people and make close friends. For a a few years Cordelia moved around from foster family to foster family, but none of the placements worked out for very long. When Cordelia was 6 years old and under the care of foster parents Stanley and Maria Crunch, she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The Crunch family was also caring for 2 other foster children at the time and felt that Cordelia would be better off placed somewhere with people who could devote more attention to her and would be better able to care for her. Finding a new foster family for a child with type 1 diabetes who also had the occasional unexplainable weird happenings of accidental underage magic, however, proved to be difficult. Cordelia’s magical talents were noticed by a wizard case worker who helped her get a spot in a wizarding children’s home, Stemp House. Cordelia moved in to Stemp House in June of 2093 when she was 7 years old.
