Character History:
Born to a close knit family of Irish Travellers, they kept mostly to north Ireland, moving around with other magical families. Fiadh was one of four children. She and her siblings got along well, often playing with the other children, all of them running through the wilderness, and playing a game of their own invention similar to quidditch. Some would say that her childhood was idyllic and compared to most it was. But the Keilan family wasn’t perfect, they were always struggling to make ends meet. The parents just did their best to hide it from their children.
Growing up in Southwark London Tiernan Taylor had a very different childhood than Faidh despite their families suffering similar problems. Where Faidh had siblings, other magical children to befriend, and wide open fields to play in, Tiernan had only his brother who was seven years older than Tiernan, he wanted nothing to do with his younger brother and left the family when he was eighteen. Tiernan’s always hated him.
Alone and left to his own devices most of the time Tiernan often skipped going to muggle school -his parents were big into integration with the local muggles, it only made him hate muggles more- and instead roamed around Southwark or magical london. As a Metamorphmagus Tiernan was a bit over confident at times, he was sure that if he ever got into trouble that he’d just have to run far enough away and change his appearance. This mentality didn’t leave the boy, even at Hogwarts. In fact he used his powers more to stir up trouble, prank his friends, or help people by being them for an hour or three for the right price.
It wasn’t until the time of the dark lord that Tiernan and Faidh met, they were both among the first few to join him. Having grown up with only magical children around Faidh saw muggles as lesser, on the other hand Tiernan’s hatred of muggles grew first from rebellion against parents that valued integration.
When the dark lord fell Tiernan had no trouble running, he took Faidh with him and the two began their life together.
They actually enjoyed life on the run, Tiernan knew how to escape and lose to anyone chasing them while Faidh knew how to live on the edges of modern society.
Their life would have stayed like that had their youngest, Morgan, not grown sick as a baby. The family risked going to St. Mungo’s Hospital where Tiernan and Faidh were noticed and then apprehended by auroras for their long list of crimes.
Growing up was always hard for Angel, ne knew that nir's family used to live as travellers, and that nir’s parents were criminals who’d been arrested. But that always felt more like concepts to Angel, it didn’t feel real, not in the way that life at the orphanage did.
Ne never liked the orphanage, the Taylor children were hated there, everyone knew that their parents were supporters of the dark lord and many of the other children had been orphaned by the war, thus they directed everything -greif, hatred, loneliness, frustration, heartbreak, fear- onto the Taylor children.
That was when Angel started using nir powers in ways that would’ve made nir's father proud: ne took revenge.
It was never anything big, nothing that could be proven, but ne’d stir up arguments between other children, ne’d steal something and hide it on someone else. Most importantly though, Angel, and nir's siblings hid the fact that their father, and some of them, had metamorphmagus powers.
Thankfully life at the orphanage wasn’t forever.
As the eldest Luke did his best to look after his siblings, when he turned 17 he stayed at Hogwarts long enough to finish his 6th year and then dropped out, got the first place he could afford -which happened to be in Newham London-, got a job, and fought for guardianship of his siblings. Well, there was enough orphans and Luke had a claim to them through blood. There wasn’t too much push back when after Luke had proven that he had a job and a place for them all to stay. Ever since Angel has, in nir's own way, looked up to Luke.
At Hogwarts Angel was like, in many ways, nir's father.
Ne was trouble, but never in any way that could be proven. In fact it was even easier for Angel to stir things up at Hogwarts, there were a lot more children in the castle than the orphanage.
As far as anyone knew though Angel was a bright, personable, and chatty student. Ne always asked thoughtful questions, and often remembered little things like if some's grandparent was sick, or if someone's relative had a birthday or something coming up, ne knew if a close friend had a crush, or if someone was stressed about something; ne remembered and ne'd check up on the matter. In fact Angel had a reputation for being a good person to vent to. It would appear as if Angel was attempting to live up to nir name and distance nirself from nir's parent’s reputation.
