History:

{Chapter One}
Caroline Llewella Griffiths was born on Saturday, August 11th, 1990 to a former Ministry of Magic junior minister and his potion-mistress wife in Blaenavon, Wales. Her parents kept a tidy but small farm outside of town and her mother supplemented their revenue from the farm with a neat little shop for holistic medicine. She moonlighted as a basic potion maker's survival kit assembler, frequently selling her kits to larger distributors on Diagon Alley. She dreamed of a day when Caroline would carry one of her kits to her first day at Hogwarts, where both Mrs. and Mr. Griffiths had graduated. Both Griffiths were very wise beyond their years and loved their daughter very much, but it was with heavy hearts that they began to discover Caroline was not destined to follow their footsteps. They weathered it bravely and taught Caroline what they knew and comforted her when she couldn't perform magic.

At age eleven, Caroline was accepted at St. Clare's School in Newton village. As it was not a boarding school, Caroline had to wake very early each morning to be taken to the school, and she stayed after school hours each day to wait for her father to pick her up. Those car trips led to a lot of discussions between Mr. Griffiths and Caroline. She learned many things about her differences with him and Mrs. Griffiths as well as the differences between the Muggle and Wizard worlds. Caroline had already endured a fair amount of teasing because of her obvious race difference from most other Welsh families, and being from a working class family living in an historic mining town, she'd endured a fresh batch of teasing for being very blue collar. But in the car with Mr. Griffiths, she felt more estranged from normalcy than ever before. Her quest to be normal had begun.

{Chapter Two}
By the time Caroline had reached Senior School at St. Clare's, the drive was too much for Mr. Griffiths. He arranged with a colleague from his Ministry days - Mrs. Maud Williams, a Witch who'd liaised with the Muggle Parliament for decades - who had retired to Newton. She agreed to board Caroline through her GCSEs. Mrs. Maud had also agreed with Mr. and Mrs. Griffiths to continue educating Caroline in matters related to the Wizard world. Sometimes, when the weather was clear and the work around Mrs. Maud's cottage had been finished, the two women would sit on the porch and talk about many things both Muggle and Magical. Mrs. Maud - or "Auntie" Maud, as she came to be called - was a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. She frequently challenged Caroline to think beyond the limits of her day, to imagine a world where anything g was possible. By her sheer influence alone, Auntie Maud convinced Caroline to be an independent woman who relished the chance to prove people's assumptions of her wrong. When the Chemistry teacher denied Caroline from enrolling in his class because she had fallen short on the entrance exam by half a percent, Caroline befriended a bit in the class and study Chemistry with him after school so that when the next level exams arrived, she tested out of first levels and into second levels to her teacher's astonishment. When she was teased for being a mixed race woman in homogenous white South Wales, she wrote and presented a paper on the advantages of diversity in Great Britain, not only to the school but also to the regional Toastmasters organization, for which she was invited to refine and publish her work. And when she was told that girls couldn't debate on the Debate Team, she helped form an all-girls debate team and competed with the school's team at several venues. 

{Chapter Three}
Despite her heroic achievements, the mysteries of Caroline's life still plagued her and she struggled to make sense of the two lives she lived. One was magical - with Auntie Maud and her parents, while the other was non-magical - at school and with everyone she saw every day. Her gumption failed her, finally, and Caroline became very closed off to the world. She managed to let at least one person in: Tom Davies was the boy who had secretly taught her his Chemistry lessons and had helped her overcome those academic boundaries. He'd become a pretty good friend to Caroline in the years in between, but when Caroline's academics began to slide and her struggles became all too real, Tom Davies stepped into the picture to be a shoulder to cry on and a hand to hold (if that was what she needed). Ultimately, Caroline's depression dipped so low that her marks at school were not satisfactory enough to gain admittance to university, and she achieved too few A-Levels to qualify for Uni anyway. Her failures caused her to plunge deeper into a hole, and Auntie Maud began to worry about her. So she did what anyone might expect and she enlisted Tom Davies' help. Auntie Maud had in mind some sort of inspirational pep talk from Tom Davies that would miraculously pull Caroline out of her depression. Instead, Tom Davies pooled his earnings from working at the dockyards in Pembroke (for Irish Ferries and Stena Line Co.) with Caroline's savings from working with Auntie Maud and as a reception and reservations clerk at the Blue Seas Bed and Breakfast in Porthcawl, and together they took a gap year. Auntie Maud was not expecting that! 

Caroline and Tom Davies traveled wherever Tom Davies' discounted passes would take them. They traveled the entire east coast of Ireland from Belfast to Wexford, and they even crossed the English Channel and visited Northern France from Cherbourg to Normandy. As they caught the breathtaking view of the white cliffs of Dover from aboard a Stena Line ferry, Caroline understood where she wanted to go in her life, where she wanted to end up and with whom she wanted to share her time. Meanwhile, Auntie Maud was developing plans of her own. Inspired by her relationship with Caroline, Auntie Maud began advertising herself as a tutor for non-magical children of magical parentage. She meant it as an activity to keep her feeling young while Caroline was away, but as she got to know her pupils better, Auntie Maud could see that there was a real need for Squib children to know something about their Wizarding parents' worlds. When a refreshed Caroline returned to Newton and Auntie Maud, she was delighted at Auntie Maud's tutoring plan, and she promised to help in whatever way she could. Caroline envisioned Auntie Maud, herself and Tom Davies making a life together working for the benefit of Muggle-Wizard relations. To Caroline, this life would be ideal!

{Chapter Four}
And then, Tom Davies joined the British Military. He'd always known he would elect for a career doing some honorable deed, but when the opportunity arose that he could join the British Army, Tom Davies took it. Caroline faced the sobering fact that she was losing Tom Davies (possibly forever) with remarkable strength, even though her world was shattered within. With his encouragement, Caroline sat entrance exams to the college of Merthyr Tydfil and succeeded in gaining entry into both the Foundation Business Degree program as well as the Teaching Degree program. It was 2008 when she enrolled in college, boarding in the town of Merthyr Tydfil and traveling back to Newton to assist Auntie Maud with her tutoring. Simultaneously, Tom Davies enrolled at the Military College in Sandhurst and began his training as a Cadet. In 2009, Tom Davies was among the troops being sent to the Arabian Peninsula for a two-year tour of duty. Caroline struggled to hold it together when Tom Davies' emails became less frequent and shorter in length. She found herself at a crossroads and she had to choose which path to take: to fall apart with worry that Tom Davies would never return from active duty, or to toughen up and dedicate herself to her professional goals.

In Caroline's absence, Auntie Maud recruited Mrs. Griffiths to help her with the tutoring. In 2009, Auntie Maud enrolled five students, aged from 5-8, and the next year - utilizing Caroline's business savvy - she doubled her enrollment (10 pupils) and accepted her first three boarders. By the time Caroline graduated from Merthyr Tydfil in 2011, Auntie Maud has accepted 15 students and 8 boarders. Herein lay the problem, for Auntie Maud had a small two-bedroom cottage to which she had designated her small library and study room as one classroom while giving her living room up as a second classroom. She simply did not have the space she needed to accommodate her 15 students and 8 boarders. Caroline's business skills, learned from two years of driven, dedicated hard work at college, came into use here; Caroline and Auntie Maud put together the funds they had accumulated through tuition and boarding rent and discovered they could purchase another cottage with a little assistance from private loans. One such cottage - admittedly a fixer-upper - with four bedrooms and a decent living room/dining room went up for sale down the street from Auntie Maud's cottage, and after some careful negotiating, it became the very first official expansion building for Miss Williams' School. Taking the role of "House Mum", Caroline put up the boarding students in the new house and taught her lessons in its common room while Auntie Maud and Mrs. Griffiths continued to teach their lessons from Auntie Maud's cottage, now expanding into the vacated second bedroom - which became the school's small library. Years before, Caroline had never imagined she would be doing work that fed her and gave her purpose and promise. Miss William's School seemed to have made the unimaginable a reality!

{Chapter Five}
Caroline's success with Miss William's School also fed into her success at college, and after graduating, she was invited by the University of South Wales to continue her education by studying for a Master degree in teaching at higher education levels. Caroline graciously turned this invitation down, after considerable thought, citing that the work she was already engaged in suited her very well. Using her business savvy to her advantage, however, she encouraged the University to donate a large sum of the scholarship money they had offered her, putting it in the interest of Miss William's School. While the original sum she had suggested did not represent the final sum, a substantial financial gift from the University of South Wales was given to Miss William's School to assist in its expansion, both physically and by staff. Auntie Maud put the gift to good use, purchasing property between her two cottages and building an addition to join the two buildings, while also establishing a two-classroom suite in the expansion and re-configuring her own cottage to expand the school's library. In 2012, Miss William's School enrolled a record-setting 25 students and accommodated 14 boarders at Griffith House (as it came to be called). 

And one fateful afternoon, an email arrived to Caroline's inbox containing three simple words: "Soldier's Coming Home."

{Chapter Six}
Several things happened in quick succession, and the first set the tone for all the others. Caroline found herself standing out in the cold with several army wives, girlfriends and a few army husbands of both men and women soldiers as the British Military aircraft prepared to disembark its returning troops for the first time in over two years of active duty. As the group around her thinned when their loved ones were returned to them one by one, Caroline wondered if she had gotten the day wrong. It was December 11, 2012 and Caroline Griffiths was 22 and glad to be alive. Time seemed to stand breathlessly still when the familiar figure of Tom Davies appeared in the airplane doorway and descended the steps to the tarmac of the runway. In several run-stride movements, Caroline and Tom Davies were in an embrace that Caroline had only ever dreamed about. And then Tom Davies kissed her.

On December 11, 2014, at the same airfield, Caroline Griffiths kissed her fiancé, Tom Davies goodbye. As they embraced, he whispered into her ear, "See you in Germany," before boarding the military aircraft for the third time in five years. His tours in the Arabian Peninsula (2009-2012) and the Persian Gulf (2012-2014) had taken a lot out of both of them. Tom Davies had taken time between tours to begin training as an Officer, but when the threat of the Caliphate, also known as Daesh, arose in Syria and Iraq, Tom Davies signed up to go on active duty again with his troop. He left after a few months of Officer training at the Military college in Sandhurst, and was still a Cadet Officer upon deployment. Though Caroline and Tom Davies had never officially dated or been labelled as boyfriend and girlfriend, he proposed marriage to her shortly before being deployed. No one was surprised.

Auntie Maud, now in her late 70s, had modified her school to be an affordable option among private schools in South Wales for underprivileged Muggle children, and with her continued financial advising from Caroline, she had made good investments that capitalized and allowed her to purchase more property. Miss William's School now included Williams' Hall, the Entrance Hall that was built in the original addition; Griffith Hall, the residence house; Davies Hall, built on a design created by Tom Davies overseas in 2011 and built in 2013 to accommodate several more classrooms and another residential wing affectionately called the Hewitt House; and Maud House, the original cottage in which Auntie Maud still lived and taught students from her study and library. Miss William's School enrolled almost 60 students and claimed an even 16 boarders in Griffith Hall and 16 at the Hewitt House at Davies Hall. It was with a heavy heart that Caroline had to break the news to Auntie Maud that she had made plans to move to Germany to be closer to Tom Davies' base. Not being an official army wife, she wasn't entitled to live on the base with him, but rather she would take up residence in Germany and could see him when he was allowed to leave the base. Nevertheless, Miss William's School would always be a place near and dear to Caroline, even as she packed her life away into a few small suitcases on the last day of school in June, said goodbye to her beloved boarders at Griffith House and, within a matter of hours, was aboard a plane to Munich, Germany.

{Chapter Seven}
From 2013-2014, Caroline lived on a temporary residential visa granted to her through the British Royal Army, and she sustained her life by working with native German English Language teachers helping them develop an ESL education curriculum that would guarantee greater acquisition of vernacular English in schools. In late 2014, however, she abandoned this pursuit when the refugee crisis broke on Greek shores. Frequently assisting United Nations aid efforts, Caroline quickly became an asset to the UNHCR, with whom she began unofficial work as an Aid Worker in Germany, where many Syrian and Afghani refugees were arriving after incredible treks across southeastern Europe. She spent tireless hours working to create living spaces for refugee families that honored and respected their humanity, and her main partner in this work was a German woman called Julia Anna Bieler. After several consecutive losing battles, Julia Anna and Caroline proposed to UNHCR to initiate a project to improve refugee lives by creating a school kept running by qualified Peace Corps volunteer teachers offering refugee women and their children the vital educational foundations they needed to survive in western Europe. This became the Munich Refugee Educational Development Centre, also called the Munich Refugee Project, based in the 1972 Munich Olympic Village. It was here that Caroline discovered a trend in the types of refugees she met and taught: they had ties to ancient Bedouin ancestry, and the hold their tribal superstitions had on them defined them from all the refugees Caroline met. In essence, they were like Witches and Wizards among a refugee Muggle population. Caroline devoted herself to learning from this minority subgroup of refugees whilst simultaneously teaching them too.

From 2014-2016, Caroline co-ran the Munich Refugee Project  with her friend Julia Anna Bieler and also began to liaise with the subgroup of refugees (mainly women) claiming to be Magical by ancestral bonds.

{Chapter Eight}
But in the winter of 2016, the British and Welsh people foolishly voted their "Great" Britain out of the European Union, and Caroline's ability to work in Germany without being criminal was shattered. She tearfully had to say goodbye, once again, to people she had grown to love as she packed her bags and moved back to Wales.

Auntie Maud, now in her early 80s and slowing down, joyfully welcomed Caroline back to Miss William's School where she resumed her old teaching position and warded off the raised eyebrows of the school elders when she remained Miss Griffiths rather than Mrs. Hewitt. The School had plateaued at 75 students, 40 boarders, four main buildings and two residential halls/houses. Auntie Maud retired from her teaching duties in 2017, naming Mrs. Griffiths as her Acting Headmistress of the school until a permanent successor could be selected. In the meantime, Officer Hewitt returned to Wales following his longest tour abroad (intermittently based in Germany - where he was able to complete his Officer training, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates from 2014-2017) and immediately announced that he had chosen to begin a career in Military Chaplaincy following his successful completion of a three-year Master Degree in Theology. He enrolled in the Theological School in Cardiff - connected to the Church of Wales, Anglican - in 2017 and continued to fulfill his Officer's duties with recruits at Sandhurst. Now nearly four years engaged, Caroline figured that they would get married eventually, but there were no bets placed on when!

{Chapter Nine}
Caroline wanted to do more than enrich the lives of her students. She longed to make a difference like she had done in Germany for the refugees. With some help from Auntie Maud and Mr. Griffiths, Caroline was able to begin working loosely with the Ministry of Magic through the Department of International Magical Cooperation. As an informant and a Squib liaison, Caroline was able to help Ministry officials better understand the way that Muggles interact among Wizards, particularly the Squib children she worked with and taught. For two years, Caroline met with Ministry officials to share what she knew of the goings-on among mixed Muggle-Magical communities in which the two lived in relative knowledge of and good relationship with each other. Eventually, Caroline's tasks began to take on the shade of espionage against her two peoples. Maybe it was just the Minister of Magic of the day but it rubbed Caroline the wrong way, and she resigned her role in 2020. Her resignation was initially not accepted but it came at a time of turmoil for Caroline. One mission led her to a curious individual; Caroline knew the 20-year old man as Elbin Frayme, a name as curious as the man was himself. He appeared to be a Muggle with a lot of opinions about Wizards. A journalist by hobby, Mr. Frayme was constantly appearing and disappearing from Caroline's Muggle watchlist. This appearing/disappearing act was common to Caroline, except in the case of Mr. Frayme, who when he disappeared from her Muggle watchlist, he seamlessly appeared on her Wizard watchlist. The latter was developed to keep Caroline abreast of potential Muggle-hating Wizards in a similar way that the former had been established to keep Caroline on top of Muggles who might be sticking their noses in too deep. Every time Caroline began to pursue Mr. Elbin Frayme, some accident occurred and her path was blocked from him.

In 2019, Mr. Elbin Frayme released a ten-page center fold article in a major continental magazine explicitly addressing the hidden lives of Wizards and Witches around Europe. The Ministry went into hyper shock and immediately brought Caroline in for interrogation. The debriefing session lasted three days as all information about Mr. Frayme was drawn from her - occasionally through "creative persuasion" - and finally she was ordered to take Mr. Elibn Frayme "out of commission" as they liaised with sister ministries across Europe to stuff the story under the rug and create an elaborate cover story to replace it. Caroline was forcibly compelled to bring down the 22-year old and convince him that his research was wasted on fiction. Though she was successful in confronting him, she was unable to convince him. When the Ministry came for him in order to do their work, he let slip that he'd been working on an important bit of potion that could potentially freeze memories and preserve them internally in case an enemy sought to alter or tamper with one's brain. Caroline believed she would never see him again after watching him forced to his knees and seeing the black bag pulled over his head. After more debriefing, Caroline realized she didn't trust the Ministry as she had once. It took her another year to successfully resign, but in late 2020, Caroline officially breathed free air again. She'd been engaged for more than six years and while Chaplain Hewitt was in a high position in his department in the British Royal Army, and now that she was unemployed again, Caroline was getting anxious about scheduling a wedding.

Auntie Maud was unwell and Caroline had been devoting a lot of time to caring for her as well as helping her mother manage the school. Auntie Maud's wish had always been to see Caroline and Tom Davies wed, so in a rather rushed fashion, Tom Davies and Caroline pulled together a wedding in a matter of several months while Auntie Maud's health declined. Finally, on August 12, 2021, the seven year long engagement ended in a festive wedding ceremony at the chapel in Newton, Wales. Engaged at ages 24 and 25 respectively, Caroline and Tom Davies were finally pronounced husband and wife at ages 31 and 32 respectively. It would be a year before Caroline learned she was pregnant with their only child, but in that year, she celebrated taking over the role of Headmistress at Miss William's School as well as mourning the loss of its co-founder and her very dearly beloved guardian, Maud Williams (who passed in October of 2021). Caroline and Tom Davies began their family taking Auntie Maud's cottage during the school year, and retreating to Blaenavon, the hometown Caroline had left decades ago, during the summer holidays. Tom Davies never went abroad again in the years of Caroline's role as Headmistress. He did remain an integral part of the Royal Army though, training new chaplains and signing off on requests by soldiers wanting to return home from active duty.

{Chapter Ten}
Caroline honored her German friend, Julia Anna Bieler-Schoenberg (who hyphenated her name after marrying her wife, Christiana Schoenberg) by naming her beloved daughter Juliana. Despite her marriage and quick honeymoon with Tom Davies, Caroline felt the loss of Auntie Maud most potent in the "quiet" moments in her life. These moments included the brief respites at the end of each semester she served as Headmistress of Miss William's School. Once each year, Julia Anna and "Christi" paid the Griffiths-Hewitt family a visit, and Julia Anna was always impressed with the work Caroline had done in helping establish the school. These visits were beacons of light to Caroline, who struggled adjusting to the life of a Chaplain's Wife. Juliana was a light that seemed to be inextinguishable when she was born in late 2022. For her first birth-day anniversary in 2023, Juliana got the gift of meeting her namesake as Julia Anna and Christi Bieler-Schoenberg crafted their annual visit around Juliana's birthday celebration. As the years continued, Juliana came to learn that her "godmothers" visited her on her birthday. And for Caroline, the ritual brought all her sources of light together as Tom Davies made sure to take PTO to be with his family for his daughter's birthday. By 2025, the void left in Caroline's life from Auntie Maud's death had receded, fading into a mist that clung to Caroline's memory, peripherally.

Under her 4-year reign as Headmistress, Miss William's School had turned a corner and opened to a larger age range, taking more properties and gaining greater enrollment as a result. But the clarity of its original vision had receded into the mist of Caroline's memory as well. Auntie Maud had always been very precise on what she wanted the school to be, and Caroline had been good at executing her wishes so that they could become a reality, but without the clear vision Auntie Maud held fast to, Caroline slowly realized that the school had departed from its primary purpose. In 2025, she came to the conclusion that the education of Muggle children of Wizarding families remained a prime focus for the school, but that times had changed enough that the school needed to adapt to the age: Muggle students of Muggle families would be invited to apply for enrollment in the coming school year, and Caroline would stay in her role as Headmistress to see the school through its transition phase, but ultimately she wished to retire her position at the end of the scholastic year 2026. Her reasons were not specified in her Board meeting announcement, but rumors had it that the strange man who seemed to loiter the school campus grounds had something to do with it.

{Chapter Eleven}
Mr. and Mrs. Griffiths were delighted to spend more unfettered time with their daughter - who had essentially moved from their home and from under their guardianship when she was in her early teen years - and they adapted very quickly into the roles of doting Granpa and Granma for Juliana. While not all of her time was spent in Blaenavon with her Mom and Dad, Caroline would take week-long holidays to her old homestead with Juliana so that her daughter could grow up knowing her grandparents as well as being privy to magic. Despite her retirement from Miss Williams' School, Caroline still invested herself in keeping the veil between Magic and Muggle thin for her daughter (just in case the Magic gene skipped a generation and picked up with Juliana). The family homestead was also closer to Tom Davies' base in England, and for half a year (to June 2027), Tom Davies, Caroline, Juliana, Mr. and Mrs. Griffiths played happy family together.

One night, around the new year, Mr. Griffiths had a strange visitor take him away for a private chat. When he returned, all he could share was that this was a friend from his days in the Ministry and that things were about to change robustly. Juliana need never know there was a group like the Flock out on the loose, terrorizing both Muggles and Magic Folk alike, but Caroline and her parents had talked about it a lot. It scared Caroline: she knew she fit the profile of those who were likely to be targeted and attacked. On the night previous to the one in question, Caroline had been voicing her strong attraction to being a teacher again, but she had also voiced her fears regarding the Flock. She had stated, bluntly, "If a place like Hogwarts would accept Squib teachers to teach and live there, I would apply immediately so that at least Juli and I would be safe within those storied walls." Those words rang in Mr. Griffiths ears as he shared what little information he could with his wife and their daughter. The truth was that the world was changing enough that such a dream could be realized, such a place - Hogwarts, exactly - could begin to accept Muggles and Squibs on both student and staff rosters.

Tom Davies was home when Mr. Griffiths was given the green light to openly disclose the information he'd received. He sat Caroline, Tom Davies and Mrs. Griffiths down and told him what he knew: in an effort to diffuse the Flock and similar terrorist groups straddling the Magical and Muggle communities, the Ministry of Magic was about to pass legislation to lift the Statute of Secrecy and to reveal to the world their world and its people. "There will be outcry and protests, but there will also be a sense of relief that no longer do we define existence as living apart from and in ignorance of one another," he had said with a trembling voice. "And, it is very possible that magic schools will begin to court Muggle teachers and students," he paused and smiled lovingly at his daughter, "and I suspect that Hogwarts will be one such school to open its doors."

When Hogwarts did open its doors, as Mr. Griffiths projected, Caroline and Tom Davies thought long and hard about their options. Ultimately, Caroline believed that Juliana wasn't safe as long as Caroline fit the profile of a terror target. With some clout to throw around, Tom Davies put in for a transfer from his base in western Britain and elected to move to the Cardiff base temporarily until Caroline's application could be decided upon by Hogwarts staff. When an acceptance was decided upon, Tom Davies and Juliana would move to a base in Scotland so that Caroline wouldn't be too far from them while living in Hogsmeade Village. The breathless moments of waiting seemed to take an eternity for Caroline and Tom Davies as the world around them seemed to step into the feeble light of a brand new day.

Significant People in Your Life: Auntie Maud Williams (caretaker through Senior School, affectionately called "Auntie"), Juliana Griffiths-Hewitt (daughter), Tom Davies Hewitt (husband)

Economic Status: Working Class, Military wife


Personality Description:
Caroline is a feisty and occasionally self-conscious woman. Her passions drive her, particularly her passion for truth and justice. She feels compelled to lend a helping hand to the less fortunate, particularly Squib children. Caroline has been a teacher for so long that she can't imagine a life in which she was anything else but a teacher. She has a big heart and she can get carried away in her pursuit of doing good and caring deeds. Caroline has also known guilt and shame in her life. It has led to her failures in school but have also contributed to some of her greatest successes. Caroline doesn't hold grudges, but she doesn't forget where she's come from and what it took to get from there to where she is presently.

Caroline is headstrong and smart, despite her independent spirit, she deeply loves her husband Tom Davies and their daughter, Juliana. Caroline is also able to be wound up if provoked on some issues. She isn't always coolheaded either. One of her greater weaknesses is that she can become hotheaded in defense of certain persons and on some issues. Usually Tom Davies is able to calm her down, but Caroline has been known to be very competitive. She can become too single-minded when provoked.

Physical Description:

Height: (can be metric or unit) 5'9"

Weight/Build: 155, strong

Skin Tone: Brown

Hair Color and Style: Black, usually braided, cut-short

Eye Color: Grey

At 5'9" and 155, Caroline looks pretty typical for a woman of her age. If she wasn't a woman of color, Caroline wouldn't have cared at all about her looks. She's been too often reminded that she is different in her school days based on her appearance and her skin tone. Her hair is frizzy and often she braids it in many braids, but that choice has been one rich for ridicule by those who have wanted to bring her down. Caroline has always had her mother's grey eyes. She's been told that many times, and it's made her so proud because of how keen her mother's eyes are, especially for potion-making.

Caroline dresses in a business casual style most of the time. Since her duties have included being a House Mum as well as a teacher, she vacillates between the more casually end of business casual and the more business end of the same spectrum. She dislikes bathing suits since she is self-conscious about her body, but somehow when she is in her intimate attire, Tom Davies takes away any self-consciousness she feels.

Special Talents:
Caroline has the unique advantage of having indepth knowledge of the Muggle World and the Magical World since her parents are Magical and yet she is not. She has also had the advantage of working within the Magical community while being uniquely separate from it as a Muggle. Her connections with Magic Folk are impressive as many Muggle children of Magic parents have passed through the halls of the school she co-founded with Auntie Maud, Miss William's School. Caroline can be sidetracked by her passion for fairness and her drive to loyalty, but she is especially skilled at incorporating many different needs and desires of adults and children alike into her grander vision for life and fairness for all. Caroline is also very well read in Magical matters and even possesses an heirloom wand from her Grandmum, carried all the way across the world from Saharan Africa to South Wales. (She secretly hopes someday that Juliana will be chosen to carry the wand).


RP Example:
Juliana rolled over and stared up at Caroline. She had Tom Davies' smile in her eyes, and as she stuffed her thumb in her mouth, she smiled at her mother. It was a tender moment that warmed Caroline's heart, and underneath, Caroline wondered (and hoped for it to be true sometimes) her daughter might be a Witch and carry on the magical lineage she felt guilty for having broken. Tender moment or not, it was also time for Juliana's diaper to be changed, making it a smelly moment as well.

Later, Caroline paced up and down the aisles of her classroom in Griffiths Hall. Her 8-year olds were taking an important test, and Caroline had 0 tolerance for cheating. She wanted them all to do their own work and be proud of it. What they didn't know was that this test was just practice for the much bigger test at the end of the year. It was a test to determine what schools her students would graduate to and if they did well, they would get scholarships. She wanted so desperately for her young students to have the chance to see the world beyond Wales. Even if, like her, they saw the world and lived in it and then came back to Wales with a vision, at least they came back because they wanted to rather than being forced to stay in Wales because they had no choice.
