History

Majorie comes from a lesser known Pureblood family known as the Skeltons, who originate in Scotland. They prefer to stay in the shadows, operating as the backbone of the wizard community by providing magical supplies like artifacts, potions, ingredients, and creatures. Her parents are Delaney and Rhysand Skelton, her mother coming from another Pureblood family in Italy. They own a store on the line between Diagon and Knockturn Alleys and also a warehouse in Scotland.

Being an only child would've been worse if she hadn't attended an all girls private school for education before Hogwarts. It wasn't only wizards, so she got her fair share of muggles and experience in the non-magic world. Her parents want their child to be worldly and open-minded, not bigoted like some wizards in their society. It seemed to work well because even when her magic surfaced when she turned eight she was able to adapt quickly into hiding her abilities. Her school has secret classes for the magical that we're hidden from the muggle students.

One day while Marjorie and her friends were working in the school gardens, they decided to play a game of hide-and-seek. The greenhouse was more of a jungle than a regular garden so there were tall plants and hanging vines everywhere. Marjorie was so lost in the fun that she didn't notice that while she was chasing her friends, the plants parted a way for her as she ran through them. Even the other witches didn't notice until much later. She had to learn to control herself when she was around plants, which she seemed to react the most to. When her parents found out they were extremely proud of her, saying that she'll be proficient in the botanical side of the family business.

Personality

Marjorie always has her head stuck in a book, but only if they're about plants, potions, creatures, or oddities. She loves a good mystery and is drawn to solving puzzles, like it's second nature. Her parents often warn her not to run off with her imagination but she feels like that's how adventures begin.

She typically treats others how they treat her, but she doesn't dwell too much on the details. Marjorie genuinely acts out of good reason because she wants to build people up, not break them down. She yearns for a life of peace and purpose, so she tries to spread it. It seems like she has a knack for doing it in the clumsiest way.

That doesn't mean that she doesn't have her faults, though. She can be overzealous when it comes to things she take a great interest in. It can be annoying when she's constantly nagging or persistent on a cause, belief, or idea. When it comes to seeking information she will reach for it until she truly can't no more, and Marjorie doesn't believe in limits.

Physical Description

Marjorie takes after most of her family, known for their dark hair, dark eyes, and pale skin. Her mother, who wasn't born a Skelton, is where she received her sky blue eyes. Her normally inky black hair is dyed purple and cropped into a uneven, layered bob. Marjorie is lanky but not obviously tall, having not hit her growth spurt yet. She appears short and skinny for her age, with her overly large eyes and ears and her long, thin fingers and feet.
