Meet the Banks Sisters: A large house sits on a plot of land in Devon, England. This house, so cold and empty looking is actually the home of the banks family. This family goes back many many generations. Each son born into this family is expected to continue to pass down the magical lessons and the art of being a pure-blooded wizard. In other words: Become a slytherin, Join the Banks Bank, Become Head of said bank, and then raise a single child and start all over. If you couldn't tell all blood members of this family have been slytherin. Until now that is.
Vermilla Andrews seduced Charles Banks into marrying her. She told him all the little things he wanted to hear... He wanted to know that her family was pure... she may have lied... Sissy was supposed to be pure blooded... but she really wasn't however Sissy was the only one to really learn the truth... that was about a month before her mother died... And as such... she always felt.... somehow.. she had to tell her father, but having it be so important to him made her keep it to herself...
Enter Leah. Her father a pure blooded Banks heir was on holiday in France. He had left his wife at home and still in a warm bed as he flew to France. He later found his way into bed with a pretty little muggle in the accounting offices of an ally bank. Lauren Anne Summer was beautiful and had an adorable accent that made Charles Banks's heart turn over. Nine months to the day. Leah was born. The Illegitimate daughter of one Charles Banks.
Only a month before, his legitimate child was born. But this child wasn't a boy... no girls had ever been born into the Banks family... But here was Sissy. A girl in her own right.
Sissy was born into that cold house. It was a cold day of November. Her mother, a woman of only 21 brought her into the world and into a house where her father would never love her completely. How could he? She broke every major rule in the Banks tradition. Priscilla was named by her father. Her mother hated the name but since little Priscilla would be the heir to the Banks fortune she didn't complain and nicknamed the little child Sissy. Sissy is not spoiled. A b***h...yes... Spoiled not in the way you think. She grew up never knowing what it meant to want for something. She always had a roof to live under and food in her tummy. However, She wasn't given everything she asked for. She wanted a rat... her daddy got her a pony. She wanted to go ride her bike, her father told her to study her French. Priscilla was being groomed to be her fathers heir. He mother lavished affection on her until she died in a tragic car accident when Sissy was 8. Although both her parents were pure blooded wizards they still drove a muggle car to work. That was her dad's way. While the Bank's family is pureblooded, the bank they own is a muggle bank with a side pocket for minor wizard transactions.
Her mother's death devastated Sissy. Any happy feelings or thoughts were taken away. She became cold and distant with a new found interest in the business. Her father couldn't have been more proud.
Her hatred was only intensified when her father brought her half sister in to the house to live with them. The pink haired child drove her mad. She wanted to play constantly while Priscilla wanted to organize and work. The worst part of all... was that Leah was known to be a half blood... but her father still loved Leah the most.
Leah was raised with her mother until she was ten. Her mother had married and moved to the south of France when her husband got a job there. Here mother got pneumonia and died because of their lack of funds to pay for a doctor. Her new father, John Williams, up and left her. She was alone for one whole week before the French authorities found her stealing food. Not a lot just a baguette. They presented her to her biological father and was greatly surprised when he took her in. It took her half a year to trust the man. But eventually she grew to love him and he loved her.
Leah learned all the things a son would learn. She was clever and had a head for numbers. Her art scores were way down but she knew how to fix a muggle car and how to shoot a gun. She also knew a lot about raising animals, although that came from her mother.

I'm criting you! heart
Disclaimer: I'm actually not very good at doing cirts. ; 3; I always fear I'm going to come off as mean, or something. ; 3;
Where is the Banks Bank located? It can't be on Diagon Alley, since that's where Gringotts is. Is it located in Devon with their house?
You need to quest / ask them if you can make her father pure blood. You can still quest for it, but you need special approval, even for parents.
"And as such... she always felt.... somehow.. she had to tell her father, but having it be so important to him made her keep it to herself... " somehow what? -confused-
It still seems like their birthdays are really close together. Why do they need to be so close? Even if they were born months apart, they could still be in the same year at school. Since their father never goes back to visit Lauren, it really doesn't matter how close their birthdays are. (I'm also unsure why he would cheat on his wife if they're still "goin at it." :3 )
I'm also wondering why Sissy "broke every major rule in the Banks tradition." Couldn't he have just tried to have more kids? -confused-
Also, why do they drive muggle cars if they're pure? -just curious- :3
Also, is Sissy's middle name Andrew or Andrews, you've got it written differently in the Name and Pronunciation posts.
You don't need to put the year they were born, because I don't think we're using years to date things. :3 (Years are also complicated in B/Cs. :3 )
About her teacher aspiration, we're not entirely sure yet how the potions teacher will act. (There's a chance they won't even be Slytherin, who knows~) :3 Just wanted to point this out in case the potions teacher happened to be a happy, bubbly sugar queen~ heart
In Leah's meaning, it says ?????. Was that intentional, or just was the name not there? :3
Leah doesn't have a wand. Just wanted you to know~ heart
That's all I've got~
I really hope nothing came off as mean or anything. ; 3;
I didn't mean too! ; 3;
