■ UNPREDICTABLE Marina has always been hard to pin down when it comes to her reactions to just about anything. Emotional and often fluctuating dramatically from one mood to the next, anyone who knows her is generally just along for the ride when it comes to how she's feeling. Sometimes she seems to have attained a level of deadly calm or neutrality, before erupting in anger or irritation. To a certain extent she strives to be erratic like this, since it ensures some level of surprise she can work to her advantage, though this is basically null with people who know her very well and are used to her mood swings.
■ PASSIONATE She's never been someone you want to make angry, not because of any grand revenge schemes or chilling tales of retribution- though she's always hoped to work her way up to that someday- but just because an angry Marina is someone no one wants to have to deal with. Quick to snap and just as fiery as her hair color, short tempered is almost an understatement. When she believes in something or someone, she believes in them strongly. When she detests something or someone, she detests them like they're the Devil himself. She's known to make vehement arguments and not drop an issue until she's satisfied.
■ DETERMINED It's very had to sway Marina on the things she cares about. Once she sets her mind on something, it'll take a lot of work to break her down. Daunted by very little, she fancies herself indomitable, at least in spirit. While she has her bad days and loses her confidence in herself and her abilities on occasion, she's always stuck to the same general path, even if she's taken some twists and turns on it that she never expected. She's used to working hard for what she wants, and getting it.
■ AMBITIOUS Marina has always wanted to succeed in life, be it academically, socially, physically... From the time she was young she's had high aspirations for herself, and she always wants to reach the next rung in the ladder. To feel happy with herself, she's always needed a goal, a purpose, and a plan to get there. While she's not really power hungry, she does want to be someone other people look up to because of how she worked to get to where she was, not because she stumbled into it by chance or was handed it as a present.
■ QUICK WITTED Marina is clever, with a sometimes scathing tongue to boot. She was a good student when in school, and she prides herself on making sure she's continuing to learn new things and broaden her mind. She tries to be as perceptive and and discerning as possible, especially considering her job an Auror, which requires her to think quickly on the spot at times and consider many possible outcomes at once. She'd love to always be one step ahead, and sometimes, but not always, she is.
■ FAIR Marina strives to be fair, to give second chances when she feels people deserve them, to be an upstanding person. To some extent, she feels as though she has succeeded in that. She lives an honest life and she's responsible for apprehending those who break some of society's most basic laws and moral codes- those who kill, abuse, terrorize, and threaten. But she knows she can be petty, and seethe for revenge or retribution just like everyone else. Still, she tries not to judge people on anything other than what they display in front of her, and she believes strongly in giving people the benefit of the doubt- unless, of course, there is no doubt.

CHILDHOOD Marina was born to a muggleborn witch and a halfblood wizard in Dunstable, England. Her mother was tortured by dark wizards during the Second Wizarding War, and suffered from PTSD throughout Marina's childhood as a result, as well as having a crippled right arm from the attack. Her father had a job in the Ministry with the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, and would later be promoted to head of his office, the Goblin Liasion. His wish was always for his daughter to work with magical creatures in some form as well. Her childhood was a fairly happy one, if not always peaceful. Her parents occasionally had their disagreements over how to raise their daughter, and money was always tight, but at the end of the day the family still loved each other. The Aldreds were very close knit, Marina being their only child. Only Marina's maternal grandparents and her mother's two sisters, all muggles, were aware of their magical abilities. Marina never saw them very often because they'd never been overwhelmingly approving of their daughter's marriage to an 'oddball', and her life in the magical world. Marina was elated to get my letter, though she knew to expect it. Her magic showed itself often growing up, especially as a young child. When she was two, all the windows in the house broke because of a particularly intense tantrum. Her reputation as a 'weirdo' made her the frequent target of bullying in the muggle school she attended, and her hot temper and overly sensitive nature didn't help much either. She eagerly looked forward to being able to control her volatile magic at Hogwarts.
SCHOOL YEARS
FIRST YEAR Marina's first year was, to be blunt, eventful. She was shocked at being sorted into Slytherin, her house of choice having been Ravenclaw, like her mother, while her parents expected her to be put in Gryffindor due to her temper and bouts of recklessness. Unfortunately, being one of the only non-purebloods in Slytherin did not gain her many immediate friends, and not being the easiest child to get along with in the first place didn't help much either. Marina struggled on and had some hope for making friends until she almost died. Apparently showing up in class with mysterious bandages and a traumatized look about her didn't exactly do wonders for her in the friend making department. Marina's disagreeable cat, Jet, ran away at night into the school gardens, causing her to chase after and run right into a very bad situation. A mentally deranged professor had just violently dispatched his own cat, and Damien Edgeworth, a house mate of Marina's and a bit of an enemy as well, being a pureblood with no love for halfbloods, happened to witness the sinister deed. Marina wandered into the midst of this chaos and froze up, terrified. Luckily, Damien kept his wits about him and put aside his dislike of her to save her life, shoving her out of the way of the professor's curse and getting horrifically burned in the process. The boy almost died, and this left Marina an emotional mess, seeing as she felt gratitude towards him for saving her, and it seemed as though she owed him one, but also having despised him for his attitude and everything he stood for previously. She visited him in the hospital wing, but got the feeling that he blamed her, as he had every right to, for what happened to him.
SECOND YEAR Marina's second year was much better than her first. She actually made of friends in two Hufflepuffs, Nell and Ada, was made of a member of a secret club, the Chimeras, and reached a truce of sorts with Damien Edgeworth. After suffering from vivid nightmares of the incident, and not wanting her parents to know for fear they'd pull her out of school, she sought answers in the school library, where she ran into Damien, whom was suffering from the effects of traumatizing event himself. The two, no longer nearly as antagonistic towards each other, managed to actually work together and opened up about themselves to one another, a first for both of them. Together they approached the professor who'd stepped in and saved them from their would-be murderer the year before, Amata Harlowe, and with her and Damien's father, Wesley's, help, worked through their problems with the use of a pensieve to relive the memories of the event and move past them. Over the following summer, members of the club Marina had been recruited for, the Chimeras, were kidnapped by dark wizards. She joined in the rescue attempt, along with Nell, whom she'd been spending part of the summer with, and managed to survive the ensuing battle with only minor injuries, though her and Nell's parents were furious at their daughters. She was on house arrest for the rest of the summer, but began writing Damien.
THIRD YEAR Marina's third years consisted of two duels, one kiss, some screaming, and a few tears shed. Her grandfather, the muggle father of her mother, passed away with his family gathered around his hospital beside just a few week before the school year started. While Marina had never been particularly close with the man, her parents had been on slightly better terms with him than with his wife, her maternal grandmother, and to see him so weak and fading deeply shook her. She'd never watched anyone die right in front of her eyes before. Her mother was heartbroken over having never fully reconciled with him before he died, and his funeral was a tense, somber affair. Once Marina started her third year, however, she managed to move on, quickly getting caught up in other events at school. She was eager to begin electives, seeing them as one step closer to her dream of becoming an Auror, and had several with Damien, though some with Dominic Montague, Damien's best friend, whom she wasn't on nearly as good terms with, as well. She ended up dueling him after he accidentally hit her in the head with a bludger, but it was the start of some sort of quiet tolerance between the two of them, even though she was a somewhat ungracious winner. The second duel was with Dueling Club, at the end of the year, where Eretria Whitethorne, an older Slytherin, soundly beat her. The end of the year also brought about some conflict between Marina and Damien, as she kissed him in the spur of the moment upon running into him one afternoon. He reciprocated at first, but then broke it off and rejected her, which was a blow to her pride at the very least. After a talk with Ada she decided that she didn't regret her actions, but didn't want it to be the end of their friendship, either. She ended the year unsure of where they stood with one another.
FOURTH YEAR Marina's fourth year was easily her best. Though she felt awkward about seeing Damien after the way things had last ended between them, he cornered her on the train and ended up admitting that he had feelings for her, as well. They spent the train ride talking things out- but mostly snogging- and he asked her to be his girlfriend officially a week or so into the school term. She put his family ring on her finger herself, and spent the majority of the year in the happy puppy love stage of a relationship, even noticing that Dominic Montague and Gracie McHalen, a halfblood Ravenclaw, seemed to have started a relationship of their own. Belle, Dominic's older cousin, even asked her to take over running the Dueling Club after she graduated, and Marina happily accepted. The only sour note of the year was at the very end, as Damien's fuming mother, Dahlia Edgeworth, sent a Howler to her son's 'unworthy' girlfriend implying some rather nasty things. Marina was mortified, as the entire school heard it, and ran out, Damien following. She ended up returning to the feast with him, determined to not let his mother's bigotry affect their feelings for one another.
FIFTH YEAR The summer before Marina's fifth year was extremely intense. First her parents met Damien's father, Wesley, with her and Damien over dinner, which went well, except that Mrs. Edgeworth herself burst in to make accusations and even pointed her wand around, until the family's house elf, Brownie, threw her out. But Damien and his father's defense of her won her parents over into fully supporting the relationship between the two. Her family also started being stalked, to her horror, and she received threatening notes and letters about some secret of her mother's. Trying to shake off a growing sense of unease she attended a Masquerade carnival with Damien, which many schoolmates also attended. This was attacked by dark wizards, and resulted in a large amount of carnage and bloodshed, though Marina, Damien, and their friends made it out for the most part unharmed. Though she was struck with a Sectumsempra that put her out of the fighting, she was healed, and recovered with some scarring on her abdomen and stomach. The school year itself was tense and stressful, as muggleborn students kept slipping into comas, which was eventually revealed to be a sinister plot to rid the school of those of 'lesser' blood, as attempted by Tom Riddle in the 1990s. Luckily the enchantment was broken, and everyone awoke unharmed. Marina still managed to do very well on her OWL exams, to her immense relief.
SIXTH YEAR Marina considered her sixth year a mess. Whoever was stalking her family had to have connections in her house, she learned, when upon entering the Common Room leading the first years after the feat, she saw a portrait of herself up on the wall, repeating back things she'd said over the past year or so, some in private conversations. Marina was shocked, as were Damien and Dominic, and she remained paranoid about eavesdroppers and spies for the rest of the year. With Dominic's help a clue on the frame of the painting was discovered, leading back to one Remington Nott, owner of a shop in Knockturn Alley. The body of a young student was also discovered in the dungeons, which added to the lingering sense of dread that school year. At a Hogwarts hosted Fall Festival that autumn, a group of rogue vampires wandered into the festivities and started feeding, causing a widespread panic and chaos, as some of the people there family members of students. Marina was stopped from fighting from being handed off a baby by a young man, and had to look after the toddler until his family could be located. On the other hand, the stress of the whole thing brought her and Damien closer together, as they had had a spat just before the attack, which was quickly resolved afterwards when they realized how fortunate they were to both be unharmed.
SEVENTH YEAR The summer before Marina's seventh year she and Damien tracked down Nott's shop. While he gave them the sales receipt, after some desperate threatening on Marina's part, the receipt claimed it had been purchased by one Dahlia Wynters, Damien's mother, whom they knew to be dead from suicide at that point. Marina was furious at being conned, but doubted she'd be able to get any more information out of the man, who had to be in some way part of the conspiracy as well. She was certain it had to do with what had happened to her mother as a young woman, something she knew that couldn't be publicly known. She spent the majority of her seventh year studying for NEWTs, as well as performing her duties as Head Girl, and Youth Representative to the Wizengamot. She did 'well enough' in her own words, on her NEWTs, and after some consideration she and Damien decided to move in together after graduation, rather than immediately get married.
POST GRADUATION Marina and Damien got a flat in London, with him working as an apprentice wandmaker in Hogsmeade and her going through training after being accepted to become an Auror for the Ministry. Coincidentally, or maybe not so coincidentally, Dominic and Gracie and Ada and her boyfriend, now husband, Chris, ended up residing in the same building. She continued searching for the people who'd been blackmailing and threatening her family, and Damien proposed to her shortly after her twentieth birthday.
Marina finally got a lead from Belle Rich leading her to an abandoned estate in Pendleside, rumored to be haunted by the locals. The house itself seemed out to get her, but she gathered enough evidence to piece together the majority of the mystery- that her mother had stumbled across evidence during the war that the Kamenev family and several other families had managed to develop a sort of binding charm that ensured loyalty from one person to another, and split into parts. She'd been tortured into keeping her silence on the matter, having planned to reveal it in her writing speaking out against the dark wizards of the time. The memories had long been repressed by the trauma of the incident. Knowing she was nowhere near capable of taking down the entire family and their associates herself, Marina gathered what evidence she could and turned it into her higher ups at the Ministry, who presumably went after the culprits themselves, bringing who they could to trial. Marina hoped it was the end of the entire mess. Especially since she had a wedding coming up- her own.
She officially became Mrs. Marina Edgeworth the June of 2029, and she and Damien were married at the Edgeworth estate. Shortly before he became a full fledged wandmaker and took over Ollivander's in Diagon Alley, and the same year she became a true Auror, having passed her training.

xxx❖xxxP E R S O N A L I T Yxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
DISTRACTED
xxx»» Gideon is an easily distracted person who often has difficulty focusing on the bigger forest in lieu of the individual, far more interesting trees. He doodles when he should be taking notes and consistently 'glazes over' when someone is telling him something, particularly if it's in the style of a lecture. He hates to work on just one thing of a time and can often be seen multitasking (with varying degrees of success) or jumping from thing to thing. He doesn't do well in highly structured, rigid environments and would fail miserably at an office job.
IDLE
xxx»» Gideon is frequently called lazy, 'work-avoidant', and 'unmotivated', all of which have some grain of truth to them. If he has a vice, it's certainly sloth, and while he will help someone out if asked and isn't self-absorbed enough to force someone else to do all the work in the project, it can be difficult to get him to do much of anything without some prodding. If he had his way, he'd spend much of the day eating, sleeping, or just lounging around. It's not that he's depressed or uninterested in anything; he just didn't inherit his parents' ambition, and is stubborn enough to dig his heels in when someone tries to force him to do something.
AMIABLE
xxx»» Gideon is quite honestly a very difficult person to argue with. He's very laid-back and easygoing, usually keeping a calm, if a bit impulsive outlook. Even if he disagrees strongly with someone, he'd rather crack jokes and roll his eyes than really debate it out with them- that'd expend too much energy, and be, in his opinion, a waste of time. Gideon is generally very easy to get along with, so long as you're not actively antagonizing him, and is often unruffled and bemused when others are outraged and indignant. The only time he seems to become genuinely offended is when someone insults his family, particularly his sister.
HUMOROUS
xxx»» Gideon tends to see everything as a bit of a joke, and was the type of child who often succumbed to giggles or snickers when being scolded. He often finds things funny, even when others do not, and prefers to make light of most situations. Other people often view this as immature and at times frustrating, since Gideon can spend more time cracking jokes and making sly comments than actually trying to find a solution. However, this is often a coping mechanism, as he doesn't want to be too vulnerable and open with his emotions in front of others, particularly when he's upset or disappointed.
FLIPPANT
xxx»» Gideon can be very dry and sarcastic, which many people don't expect, coming from him. While he doesn't go around picking fights with anyone, when annoyed or upset he tends to revert to mockery, rather than raising his voice or throwing a punch. He'd much rather shame someone out of bad behavior than try to lecture them out of it, and enjoys knocking others down a peg or two when he feels they're being self righteous or worse, hypocritical. He is not overly respectful of authority, and was occasionally a bit of a troublemaker as a small child.
HUMBLE
xxx»» Gideon has many flaws, but arrogance is not one of them. He was raised to never lord himself over others, or to act as if he was better than anyone because his father was from a notable pureblood family or his mother was a successful auror. Gideon would never sneer or scoff at someone else, and was raised to treat everyone as equals, no matter their background. He despises displays of wealth or snobs, and is much more concerned with people's character, rather than their nice clothes or big house. If he does puff himself up, it's all joking, and his sense of humor is generally very self-deprecating; he rarely puts other people down while praising himself.
STRENGTHS
xxx»» Keeping things in perspective.
xxx»» Making friends quickly.
WEAKNESSES
xxx»» Not taking things seriously.
xxx»» His lack of ambition or motivation.
FEARS
xxx»» Losing his mother due to her line of work.
xxx»» Disappointing his family.
xxx❖xxxB A C K S T O R Yxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CHILDHOOD
xxx»» Damien is the eldest child and only son of Damien Edgeworth, a wandmaker, and Marina Edgeworth (nee Aldred), an auror. His parents met during their first year at Hogwarts, where they were both Slytherins. While they initially despised one another, they eventually became friends and later married, having two children, Gideon and Lucia. Gideon was born three years before his sister and grew up in the family's flat above Ollivander's, which his father owns and operates, located in Diagon Alley, London, England. Gideon spent much of his childhood running around the shop and bothering his father, as his mother was often away on Auror business. The family was quite close and had a wide social circle, so Gideon had plenty of playmates and was very eager to go away to Hogwarts at the age of eleven. He doubted he'd be in Slytherin like his parents, but they'd assured him that his house mattered very little in the long run.
