Margaretโor "Maisie" as she is known to her family and friendsโcomes from a middle class Glaswegian family from the Southside. No, magic cannot buy you wealth nor happiness. Joy is a uniquely creative force, as her mother would say. It was joy that brought a couple together that perhaps never should have been in the first place.
Reducio๐ ๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐: Maisie had been playing in her mother's studio. This was a common occurrence as the flat in the city was anything but large. Every once in while her mother might ask her opinion, not that she had a great sensibility art yet. And one day, she was quite opinionated on how a dress should look (after being agitated earlier) that when her mother disagreed, the scissors floated up on their own and cut off the hem abruptly. There could only be one culprit.The Gemmells were a line of very ordinary Scottish mugglesโuntil the arrival of her father, Callum's letter of admission to Hogwarts. There, he would later met and fall in love with a young woman, Althia, who came from a longstanding magical family. Althia showed him the world in a new way, which was both as awe-inspiring as it was terrifying. Upon leaving the school, Callum struggled to balance the world he knew with the one he'd discovered.
Despite this and initial disapproval from Althia's family, the couple became a family. Callum struggled as a writer for both magical and non-magical publications alike, not having very many connections in either field, but he remained steadfast in covering the breaking political news of the day. Althia, on the other hand, was quick to start an apprenticeship at one of the dress shops in Diagon Alley. Although she began as a simple seamstress, she has worked her way up as a designer and dressmaker. Most recently, she has dressed emerging magical and muggle bands and artists, especially in Glasgow's underground music scene.
Because of the way the family has always straddled the magical and muggle worlds, it should come as no surprise that they felt it important to raise their daughter with a knowledge of both (while maintaining the statute of secrecy). In fact, her very name is a representation of that philosophy. She is named after each of her grandmothers: Margaret on her father's (muggle) side and Estelle on her mother's (magical) side.
Her childhood was largely uneventfulโa happy, ordinary one. Perhaps the only difficulty was a lack of income compared to some of her peers, but it was never so low that she felt unsafe or uncared for. So, she took pleasure in activities she had access to, including sewing to help her mother. It was through sewing, she experienced her first sign of magic: levitating scissors after an emotional outburst while they were dressmaking together. Perhaps she has a little bit of a flair for the dramatic when called for.
Her fatherโs patience and journalistic skills come through in her academics, which she has always taken seriously. Her parents have high hopes this will continue at Hogwarts, even if the transition to a fully magical environment is a bit tricky. Maisie has always been one to let her curiosity lead her and this has been the key to her academic successes. Outside of this, she is both intuitive and assertive, unafraid to follow the beat of her own drum. She is looking forward to what joys her formal magical education might bring.

Below are some books that evoke themes or motifs from Maisieโs story. If you have the opportunity to read themโwhich I hope you do!โI think you will enjoy them.
PRIDE AND PREDJUDICE
Jane Austen
At school, Maisie has been exposed to students who come from a much more privileged background than sheโand she has also come to know and take issue with their arrogance. She also shares personality traits like independence and wit with the protagonist, Jane Bennet.
DAVID COPPERFIELD
Charles Dickens
A classic Bildungsroman, David Copperfield traces a working class boyโs adolescence. The story emphasizes growth and change, as well as the working class struggle. It is also known for blending the comic and tragicโtone common in Maisieโs point of view.--
WICKED
Gregory Maguire
In another world filled with magic, Maisieโs character would be likened to Glinda the Good. They share a playfulness, curious fashion sense, and a certain penchant for pink. And perhaps most important, Maisie and Glinda deeply value friendship even if becomes strained.
LANARK
Alisdair Gray
Straddled between realism and fantasy, Lanark depicts a dystopian Glasgow through surrealism, illustration and footnotes. Maisie, too, straddles two worlds: muggle and magical. And like the book itself, Maisie is both experimental and creative.- โโโโเญจเงโโโโ
TRAINSPOTTING
Irvine Welsh
Although the book is set in Edinburgh, most of the corresponding movie was filmed in Glasgow. And since then, the two have been culturally linked. And Maisie is Glasgow. She is born from its roughness, and no other contemporary title encapsulates that urban working-class struggle better.
