Connie is a bright, sparky and headstrong girl from Cumbria, in the North West of the UK. She is muggle-born and the first member of her family to display any magical ability.

Connie was the middle child out of three and the only girl. Unfortunately, her early life was coloured by the sudden, unexpected death of her mum. Losing the only other female member of her immediate family was very hard for Connie, even though she's close with the rest of her family.

With her dad being a newly single parent, Connie spent a considerable amount of home time with her grandparents, looking after her and her siblings as their dad continued to work. Being in such a heavily male environment means that she's become a bit of a tomboy. It also means that she's very forwards, always willing to make her voice known in as brash and loud a way as possible. Just to make sure that nobody pushes her opinion away.

However, Connie's confidence and forwardness is partly an act. Inside, she's wracked with uncertainty and lacks confidence. She makes up for this by overly compensating. She acts very sure of herself to hide how she truly feels lost, in the hopes that if she keeps going and acting that way, one day she'll wake up and actually feel like that.

Connie's magic manifested in tiny, small ways through her childhood. As she grew older, little things would just move or tidy when she wanted them to, in ways that could easily be dismissed if you weren't paying much attention. When she was ten, a loud and rough argument with her older brother ended in a shouting match, a red-faced Connie and an exploding sofa. It erupted right before their eyes, leaving half her house coated in fluff, springs and faded fabric patterns.

Any questions that her or her family had about the incident were more-or-less answered when she received a letter inviting her to attend Hogwarts in the 2020 academic year.
