History/Background Story: Born in Cambridge, England, Edith is the oldest of four children to an magical English mother and a non-magical Italian father. From a young age, Edith and her siblings were made known of their magical lineage but were never held to the expectation of becoming a witch or wizard to ensure that nobody felt left out or like a failure. Edith and her siblings were put into non-magical primary school but her mother was always sure not to keep them completely shut out of the wizarding world in case they turned out to be accepted into Hogwarts. They were taken to their grandparents quite often, surrounded by magic from a young age for most of her life other than the summers they would spend in Italy with her father's side of the family. She was rather active at her primary school, joining chess club and getting into gymnastics with some of her muggle classmates.

The first time Edith did magic was when she was around six years old, playing around with her five year old brother in their grandparent's house. They had been kicking around a ball in the yard when her brother kicked it a little too hard and it was headed straight for her face. She let out a little yelp and braced herself for impact but it never came, the ball hovering in mid air, surrounded by glimmering traces of magic mere centimetres from her face. She opened her eyes to see the spectacle before the ball simply dropped into the grass with a thud. She and her brother stared at each other in disbelief for a few moments before rushing inside to excitedly tell their grandparents what happened.
