Name: Rachel Fortuna Porphyry, known as Cleopatra

Date of Birth: June 21, 2046

Age: 25

Eye Color: muddy green/brown

Personality: Cleopatra is a survivor. Hard-nosed and shrewd, she may at times appear overly confident. Second to this, she is highly suspicious and thinly masks a quick temper. She has a high sense of what is fair and what is not but only when it comes to herself.

History: Rachel was raised in a "perfect" pureblood household - her family was composed of nothing but honest, upstanding, wizarding citizens. The ideal family.

Money was never an issue, but both parents (Alexandra Anketos and Demetrius Porphyry) chose to hold high-up Ministry positions because of their dedication to the community. Together, they had seven children, of which Rachel was the youngest (the others were named: Leander, Phillip, Ada, Cassander, Meda, and Idrieus). The first six were all gifted, and Rachel was to be no exception. Though she did not show any signs of magical talent, Alexandra and Demetrius were not worried. These things took time.

But when the September of her 11th year came and went and no letter was recieved, they panicked. Afraid of loosing their reputation, their self image, they performed complex memory charms on their neighbors, so no one would remember Rachel. Then, when they realized charming every single relation and acquaintance was nearly impossible, they faked their death (by Lethifold).

The elder children, five of them adults, half of them married, mourned the death of their parents and sister. Idrieus, still under 17, moved in with an aunt and uncle to finish his education at Hogwarts. To this day, they are all leading moderately successful lives.

The three Porphyry’s started a new life in Bosnia-Herzegovina under the name of Smith. While Alexandra and Demetrius, now Janet and Richard, made a modest living through Mandrake farming, Rachel found herself imprisoned in the 6 room house’s basement, cut off from human contact. It was there, amidst all the ‘junk,’ the squib secretly honed her potion making skills, using a cauldron, portable, two burner camping stove left by the previous owners, and whatever had the potential to be an ingredient.

Then, one day in the Fall of '63, the house burned down, killing both Janet and Richard.

And that's how Rachel returned to her birth country (England) and wheedled her way into the wizarding underground (through spiking unsuspecting wizard's drinks with love potions and stealing their money - earning her the name Cleopatra).
