. BEFORE HOGWARTS .

Reducio

Since the moment Solana Valor was born in a small village made up of other magical beings below Mount Koshka, there was hardly a time where the young girl could establish roots to ground herself. The only constant in her life was her headstrong mother who, despite the short stature Solana had also inherited, had an immense presence wherever she went. The young girl admired her mother and sought to emulate her unfettered independence and the way she carried herself through uncertainty. The two lived a nomadic life in the magical realm, traveling old paths along the Crimean Mountains selling intricate metalwork and potion ingredients they had harvested from their travels.

Her father, on the other hand, was only present in the occasional vile that was spat from her mother’s mouth whenever he was brought up. Solana only knew that he had a fleeting presence in her mother’s life and was absent when she was born. From what details her mother spared, he was a wizard who had imparted his stubborn and reckless behavior on Solana. His name was never spoken, but when her mother mentioned an “arrogant, selfish ba…”, she knew who could stir such vitriol in her mother. Although she had never known a fatherly presence in her life, Solana felt as though she was missing a part of her that was just out of reach no matter how hard she tried to grasp it. The best she could do was fill the void with her mother's distrust and anger, dwarfing the longing to know her paternal side.

Solana had only known the grassy plains and daunting mountains of her homeland until her grandmother's failing health and the emergence of Solana's magic tore her away from sweet familiarity. At the age of nine, the young girl found herself in a foreign land with old brick buildings that rivaled her quaint portable fabric dwelling and more wizards in one place that she had ever seen in her few years of living. The feeling of being surrounded by walls of brick and streams of moving bodies made Solana's chest tighten with claustrophobia. Whenever she could sneak away from her grandmother's tiny cottage, Solana would feel the dread and anxiety lift from her tiny shoulders as the landscape widened beyond the cage of bricks.

As her grandmother's health began to dwindle further, the two years that past by felt as if they were moving at a continuously slower pace the longer she was away from the nomadic lifestyle she was used to. The thought of having to root herself in the small village was daunting to the young girl and later became a harsh reality once an owl had delivered a letter that sealed her fate beyond the wax stamp. For the first time in her life, Solana had to leave her mother's side to experience both wonder and perhaps a twinge of apprehension of Hogwarts.

.. MAGICAL BEGINNINGS..

Reducio

By the time she was eight, Solana could recall the use and the distinct looks of a few herbs her mother foraged for amid the craggy mountains of her homeland. There was the occasional lethal aconite with its purple petals pulled over itself like a hood, a moly here and there with its white petals a sharp contrast to its black stem, and the aromatic mint that released a pleasant taste when she chewed on a plucked leaf.

When they arrived in the Welsh wizarding village next to the muggle town of Ferndale, Solana was excited to use her mother’s leatherbound notebook scrawled over with drawings of various plants and their uses to explore the countryside. While her mother was bartering with a villager, Solana snuck past the brick walls of the village limits, notebook shoved in the pocket of her long tunic. The young girl knew that she could not go far without raising suspicion, so a nearby craggy hill dotted with the pastel hues of newly bloomed flowers and a stream that cut through the middle. She identified the brilliant white daisies, yellow poppies, and purple thistle as she tromped through the tall grass. After feeling satisfied with her adventure, she started to make her way home to the village when a brilliant green plant with serrated leaves stuck out among the dull rocky outcrop. Flipping through the pages in the notebook, she found the culprit: stinging nettle.

Determined to bring back a souvenir from her adventure and the subsequent praise from her mother, Solana found a foothold in the crags and climbed two metres off the ground, her right hand wrapped in her cloak so she could safely tug at the stems without touching the painful stinging hairs. Just as she managed to free the herb from the crag, she lost her footing and started to sway backwards, grasping at the air for a way to catch herself. Shutting her eyes tightly, Solana prepared to feel the impact as she tightly gripped her cloak. Upon opening her eyes, the young girl found herself floating down slowly, unintentional magic sourced from her sudden surprise had allowed her to land softly on the ground, cloak billowing above with an unnatural aircurrent. Before she could process what had happened, she was face-to-face with her stern mother. The walk back was a sheepish one and Solana could feel her mother’s mixed emotions through the tight grip on her hand.
