History · As a child, Leila was always eager to learn—science, art, but especially magic. Her father, a successful wizard named Jisoo, brought her up by himself. Whenever she wept, he would calm her by telling tales of the wizarding world, which immediately dried her tears. She was drawn to it, and understandably so, for she had a natural ability. If she couldn’t find her favorite toy, it’d suddenly be near, on her bed or desk. And if she wanted a book on the highest shelf? Sure enough, it’d fall to the ground.
Jisoo was relieved, and partly worried, when her powers began to flourish. He was proud, of course—but she was the first half blood of the Rhee family, which had always caused tension with relatives. They hardly visited, and Leila could not understand their obvious dislike. Her mother had always been a secretive topic, knowing little more than her first name, which was Luna. And if she dared ask more, her father would go into a blind rage, which would eventually become her biggest fear.
As the years passed, the once loving parent grew resentful, jealous of his daughter’s constant curiosity to an absent mother. He was irritable always, and their bond became strained. He kept himself to his work in the Ministry, and pressured Leila to follow in his footsteps. It’s unclear whether she is ambitious because she is scared of him, or if she secretly admires him. Regardless, she aims to succeed in the world, to prove her family wrong, and make herself proud.
