Background Story:

Reducio

Esyllt was raised in a small Welsh village by her single mother, a muggle named Helen Priddy. Helen always valued learning and creativity in her daughter's education. And Esyllt is indeed very creative. Esyllt was always fascinated by nature and plants. She has had lots of fun gardening with her mother, who taught her what little she knew about it. Her favourite game to play as a child was pretending to be a witch brewing potions with mud, leaves, flowers as well as any other thing she could find, and then imagining their effects. She always did alright in school, but would often end up lost in her thoughts and longing to be outside or making something practical, rather than learning maths for example.
Despite not knowing her father, who went away soon after her birth, Esyllt has always been surrounded and loved by her mother's (quite numerous) family members, and she has never felt alone. She has a great relationship with her mother, even if she thinks she's overprotective or too strict at times. She also made friends with other kids, especially after starting primary school. The names of those she grew closest to are Kerenza and Maria, two muggle girls of her age.
Although her mother was able to raise her well, Esyllt and her mother never travelled much, certainly not far from Llanddulas at least, and she grew up pretty much always seeing the same people over and over. They were both shocked to learn the existence of the wizarding world, especially Helen, who was distrustful of this story at first. Despite her excitement, Esyllt can't help but feel a little worried at the idea of attending a school she doesn't know so far from home and the people she does know.

First Instance of Magic:

It happened quite late, when Esyllt was already 10 years old. She had spent an afternoon baking a pie with her mother. Esyllt was about to taste the freshly out of the oven pie by dipping a finger in it when her mother started lecturing her about it. They ended up having a small argument, during which the pie slowly got crispier and crispier. As Esyllt grew more and more irritated, the once appetising pie got more and more burned. It ended up having a much darker shade but no explanation could be find as to why and Esyllt's mother assumed it had been overcooked without noticing it before the squabble started.
