Biography:

Reducio

Lily Young grew up in a small town of Queensbury, England, with her parents, older brother and cat. Her father worked for the Ministry of Magic and would answer any of her questions about the magical world. While her mother, a librarian, would give her her first book and encourage her to read anything she liked. Between the relaxing calm of reading and the wildness of the forest, Lily was constantly learning. Whether it was memorizing stories, sketching nature, running around her town to find new hideouts or magical views of nature, or reading every book she could find. Most of her childhood was spent curled up in a tree with her cat, book in hand as the world got dark. She would often lean against the rough bark, listen to the wind flowing through the leaves and feel as if she were a part of nature. Her older brother sometimes teased her for being too quiet, but he also let her bury herself in his old adventure books and was the one who taught her how to climb safely, which only deepened her need for the outdoors. Her early education came from stories, family lessons and quiet hours spent in her mother's library, surrounded by magical texts and explanations. Her first act of magic at seven, when she freed a bird trapped by thorns, deepened her fascination with how magic and nature intertwined.

First Instance of Magic:

When Lily was 7, she was out exploring in the forest and saw a bird stuck in a rose bush. Reaching in to help the bird she hit the thorns, the thorns hurt, and as she stepped away in pain the branches started moving on their own. She blinked, not believing her eyes. It created a path for the bird to fly out. In disbelief she went straight back to tell her mother, who was delighted for her.
