Backstory:
Jay Mina Ophelia was born to Elias Ophelia and Cassandra Ophelia (nee Jordan) in 2013 as Jayla Mina Ophelia, marking the continuation of the pureblood Ophelia line. They are an only child and, as they had no siblings, was quite lonely as a child. Their mother was very skilled in dark magic and often leaned towards using it in dangerous situations. Cassandra's dark magic was generally only used when in life threatening situations and to protect herself or her family as she was an Auror. Jay did not see their mother use it very much so it did not have much of an effect on them. However, sometimes Jay would notice that it would take a toll on Cassandra, making her more impatient, but would also make her mother more powerful, leading to Jay's mixed feelings on dark magic. Nevertheless, Cassandra upheld a very strong moral code, something Jay, even as a child, noticed and chose to follow. Jay's father was a skilled Potions Master who believed in a well-rounded education. Their mother, who had grown up being taught the importance of carrying oneself well, was often formal, so Jay tended to favor their father. Though their parents seldom fought, Jay would always notice when they did, leading to a further feeling of isolation.

This isolation, however, led them to their best friend Arden Thome whom they met on a trip to Gringotts with their father. Arden and Jay quickly became friends — Jay found themself drawn to Arden's extravertedness and Arden to Jay's quippy, charismatic nature that was buried below their quiet exterior. Whereas Cassandra might have been more worried about Arden's family, Elias Ophelia was just relieved that his child had made a friend.

As for their education, they were homeschooled. Even though Jay's favorite parts of the day was playing pranks on both her parents, sometimes they longed to go to a preparatory school before Hogwarts and meet other young wizards. Arden was their only friend and Jay longed to get to come out of their shell a little more. However, Jay was well educated in traditional subjects like maths and reading by their father, which were prioritized over the culture of the Wizarding World. Their father believed that because they would attend Hogwarts when they came of age, it was more important. He also did this to promote an acceptance of Muggle-Borns and Half-Bloods, so that when Jay encountered them at Hogwarts, would not immediately see them as "lesser than" since they had similar upbringings. Since his best friend when he was at Hogwarts was a Muggle Born, he spent a lot of time around Muggle culture and found it fascinating. However, he also taught them the basics of Wizarding Culture, including introducing them to important places in the Wizarding World and magical history.

A year before Hogwarts, Jay realized that they were not a woman, but non-binary. They changed their name from Jayla to Jay, which they felt fit them better and was more gender-neutral. Their father accepted them wholeheartedly while Cassandra was indifferent. While Cassandra accepted it and was careful to use their correct name and pronouns, she did not outwardly show any emotion, positive or negative, when Jay came out.

When they received their Hogwarts letter, they were secretly thrilled even if they didn't show it outwardly. As much as they loved their home, they were excited to learn more about the world around them. They were disappointed, however, when Arden informed them that she'd be attending Beauxbatons in the fall, much to Arden's chagrin. This also caused them to feel more nervous about making friends since they were expecting to already go to Hogwarts with a friend.
