Depending on the family or the traditions, pure-blood had an air about them that demanded excellence. Nicoletta’s family came from a line of healers, prestigious in fact, while her father’s family line had hands dipped into the political.<br/><br/>After marriage, Geoffrey longed for a son to carry out his name, to continue on his work. He felt his wife’s womb would be the key to that, however, Nicoletta struggled to get pregnant. The issue seemed to put stress on their relationship. Blaming each other for her lack of fertility.  However, for years and years they tried and a daughter came instead.<br/><br/>Even before her first cry of life, high expectations were placed upon her. Her childhood wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for someone of her status. She’d be groomed to inherit her mother’s will, a healer, and so her youth consisted of extra schooling, tour after tour. If she got anything short of high remarks her mother would shun her, force her to continue at it until she mastered it. Now, Scylla wasn’t anything short of intelligent but there was a hidden idea that her mother didn’t enjoy being around her daughter because of the strain that had placed upon her marriage. Though her father seemed to care for her, made sure she had what she needed, there was no level of emotional comfort she couldn’t relieve him of his emptiness, this belief that his name would die with him.<br/><br/>Before Nicoletta had her daughter; Scylla. Her father had an affair with a woman he worked with; a pure-blood named Arlette Clayton and their infidelity gave life to the son he always wanted. However, he stayed with Nicolletta until he found out the child she was carrying was a girl. Soon after he divorced Nicoletta to start his desired future with his new family and his son that would be 3 years older than Scylla.<br/><br/>In her grief, she looked at Scylla, and blamed her for all the misfortune in her life.  Wishing if she had given Geoffrey a boy like he wanted they’d be happy together and she wouldn’t have been abandoned as she had. Scylla couldn’t understand why it was her fault and tried to reason with her mother but her mother banished her from her life placed her in the care of her grandmother - Sandra Montgomery.<br/><br/>Even though her life was peaceful with her grandmother, Scylla tried her best not to be a burden to her grandmother, keeping to herself while she resented her own birth. She never really formed any attachments with friends and when she did go out she was mainly on her own. With a book in her hand.  Expectations were still high with her grandmother and did not desire to test her anger made sure her grades never suffered, made sure she didn’t want for anything that wasn’t necessary. Like her mother, her grandmother expected her to be a healer, and made sure she was taking the classes needed to pursue that path. Though she did attempt to try to win her mother’s favor by showing her good grades while she was younger; but her mother was just as cold as ever.<br/><br/>Her home-schooled grades kept her grandmother happy, school work coming easy to her. However, entering Hogwarts was probably the happiest moment she could remember really. The joy her grandmother had for her, after reading her acceptance letter, and the feast she prepared in her honor. That was probably the only time one would have ever seen Scylla smaller, though there was still a sense of emptiness, as she tried to tell her mother the good news but her letter was returned to her without a reply. Her father however, sent her letters offering her to come live with him, but she herself rejected them, not replying once and hadn’t talked to him since he left her mother. Nor the half brother Xual that she found out was her brother; probably out of sheer envy that turned into pure hatred.<br/><br/><strong>Likes</strong>: Reading, Classical music, Sitting in the library, quiet places.
