Castra "Penny" Penelope Anthler was born to Trisha Lowes and Mark Anthler on February 8th, 2015. Her parents never wed, but simply continued to date. They lived Venice, Italy until Castra was about 7, when her mother left Castra and her father all alone. Penny didn't have many happy memories of her and her mother, most of them being a littler Penny asking her mother to play dolls, or go for a walk. Her mother refused to bond with Penny in any way shape or form. It usually caused arguments between her parents that the young girl couldn't understand. (Her parents argued in English so Penny wouldn't have to hear any hurtful things said).
But Castra and her father managed. They moved to the United States of America, and lived a semi-calm life in San Francisco. On Saturdays they went to the movies, On Mondays, Castra's father helped her with her English homework (And her English, Castra had spent her entire life speaking Italian).
Penny learned quickly. Within a year, she'd already made lots of friends. She went to their houses for sleepovers, they came over to hers, and sometimes Penny would even stay at her friends' grandparents houses. She did phenomenally in school, always coming home with the top grades on her tests, and teachers praised her work. She helped new students, and would purposefully miss the bus home to stay and help the custodians. On her last day of public No-Maj school, her and her father went to their favorite Chinese restaurant. Castra's fortune cookie read "A pleasant surprise comes your way." Sometime later, in June, a man in a suit came to the Anthler's door. He explained that Castra was a witch and set for Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
