History/Background Story: Atlas was born and raised in Luton, England with her father, Eric Thompson, and mother, Aeris Forborn. Her father was an ordinary muggle that traveled plenty for work including across countries which is how he met Aeris -- an Aurologist from the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Eric was enraptured by Aeris and it didn't take too long for their relationship to become more. Aeris came from a long line of witches and wizards, each with their own specialization. Her mother before her being a top-rated Alchemist, and the mother before her specializing in herbology. It wasn't easy to convince the family of this relationship since a muggle hasn't been introduced as a potential partner in decades. No matter the time period being a pureblood had its setbacks in terms of judgment from the community. Wanting to get away from that and create a new life, Aeris agreed to move to England. All secrets regarding her true identity were revealed and they got hitched, deciding to keep Aeris' last name. Not too soon after Atlas was born a half-blood, the first in many generations. Her parents have always been supportive and encouraging of her want to learn more.
  • First Instance of Magic:
The first instance her parents found of her magic capabilities was when she was 7, whenever she had bad dreams she would begin to float above her bed until she was woken up. As well, around the time of her 10th birthday, she came down with a cold, the twist being that whenever she sneezed flowers would begin to sprout from all over, be it the ground, sink, or grandfather clock in the corner of the hall. Her mother found it fascinating while her father took up the burden of cleaning it all up.

Going to Hogwarts is Atlas' dream, she's never been so good at making friends since she's usually reserved, not to say she's shy by any means. The only true friend she's managed to keep through the years has been her neighbor, Lora, a girl her age that knows nothing of her true nature as a witch. Her parents were elated when she received her Owl from Hogwarts, this was the first step of many to becoming an Auror, it seemed like a logical job direction due to what her mother worked as. Next was to get sorted into the right house, which in her case was either Ravenclaw or Slytherin. She had a knack for learning and was always a calm and quiet child, however, her ambitions and passion often reached above the rest of her peers as well as her ability to get what she wants, whether, through charming words or hard work, nothing ever seemed too far from her grasp. Seeing Hogwarts for the greatness that it was left her astounded nonetheless, and the moment that hat touch her head and announced her "Slytherin!" she knew she was at the right place.
