Personality: Avery is a very sweet and playful girl, but she’s extremely shy when she doesn’t know anyone. She loves animals and stories. She’s always been told she’s had her head in the clouds, so now she’s just amazed and in awe at everything she sees.
Father: Lucas Fairbanks, Muggle (former) museum director
Mother: Alice Goode Fairbanks, an American witch, unknown affiliation
Siblings: none
History: Avery thought she was a typical kid. She had loving parents, a safe home and neighborhood, and even had some friends she grew up with. But that all changed one night three years ago. Avery doesn’t remember much from the night. She woke up to the sound of breaking glass. She’d heard her parents go running downstairs. After a lot of yelling and what sounded like pleading from her mom, Avery crawled out of the bed and hid at the top of the stairs. She saw the figure of a woman in a long black robe, then her loud voice shout some weird sounding words that Avery didn’t recognize. A flash of bright green came from the stick she was holding, and her mom screamed! Avery didn’t know what was going on, but her mom collapsed, and never got back up. The black robed woman and the two other figures with her left, leaving Avery’s dad sobbing over her mom.
Neither Avery nor her dad ever found out why her mom was murdered, but shortly thereafter, while going through her locked stuff in the attic, they found evidence that she had been a witch with ties to Salem, Massachusetts. They figured it was some right-wing religious attack, and Avery’s dad moved them up to Nova Scotia where an old school chum of his lived. He moved them there for safety, and when Avery had begun showing signs of unexplained magical occurrences, he was more scared than ever that something would happen to her.
After receiving her letter to Aurora Borealis Academy, Avery’s father was determined to learn all that he could. And after having several meetings with the school’s former headmistress (and many lengthy tea conversations where he learned all he could from her about the wizarding world and possible causes for his wife’s death), Lucas Fairbanks finally allowed his daughter to come to the school.
Veritiserum: Deep down, Avery wants to learn to become a powerful witch so she can find out who killed her mom and make her pay for what she did.
Patronus: N/A - too young
Boggart: a dark robed woman, the one who killed her mother
Anything else: This profile leaves open the option of Lucas Fairbanks coming to the school
