Background

Born as ‘Chrysanthemum’, because, as her parents put it, they saw her as ‘their precious flower’. Rose, Lily… These names were too common, and she was ‘one of a kind’, and so Chrysanthemum was given her rather unfortunate name without a choice. She was born to a rich family and a four year old brother who had already established his worth in the eyes of their parents; he was somewhat of a genius. He never bullied her - in fact, the two are friends, and have been close - but as they grew up, it was clear that he had enough brains for the two of them - and she had none.

Once she was old enough, she started asking to be called Chrisy, and she was obliged by her parents who were already slightly disappointed in her; she was a late blossomer, not learning to walk or talk at the same age that her brother had. Thus, comparison was born, and for a long time growing up, she heard the words, “Why can’t you be like your brother?” far too often.

Raised with the expectations of her parents looming overhead for her to be the perfect little girl, she never really had a chance to run around outside or get dirty, but was rather introduced to dollhouses, dress-up, and things of that nature. She was only bought blouses, dresses, skirts, and the rare pair of jeans for when it wasn’t suitable to wear other things.

Jason went off to Hogwarts when she was only 7, but she heard all about the good things he did - sorted into Gryffindor, acing all his classes, getting praises from Professors, becoming president of different clubs, and the like - and by the time she was 11, already knew she had large shoes to fill.

And, indeed, she proved to fail in every aspect her parents wished for her to succeed.

She was sorted into Ravenclaw, but questions were raised when she failed to pass History of Magic, and her written assignments came back with many red markings. The truth was, Chrisy had a different kind of intelligence - she was artsy and had more skill in the arts than many people who studied it - but none of that mattered to her parents.

The first three years of her life in Hogwarts was miserable. Her brother would try to help her, but she pushed him away, and their relationship has been strained since then. Unfortunately for her, her parents and teachers alike committed the sin of comparison, and Chrisy believes till now that she is inadequate and incompetent, when in actual fact she is a remarkable witch.

After her brother left Hogwarts, he went on to study to be an Auror, much to the delight of his parents. Chrisy, however, still struggles in school. Every so often she receives reminders from them of how disappointed they are in her and how they wish she would try harder.

Chrisy has a few friends, but she doesn’t mix around much, still fearful from living in the shadow of her older brother.

Family Background

Leonard Lynn met Bella in school. They were both Gryffindors, and their romance took some time to sprout, for they were both stubborn and set in their ways. Both were from old money, their parents having been in trade, although not to the extreme wealth of Pureblood families. They married shortly after finishing school, and very soon had Jason.

They were delighted to find he was a genius, and doted over their son. When Bella fell pregnant again, their hopes for a daughter came true - unfortunately, she proved to be of lesser intelligence than her brother, and they were disappointed.

Strict parents, they do not believe that Chrisy has much to offer to the world unless she passes her exams with flying colours, and push her to do as such.
