Aurora Sinistra

Aurora Francis Sinistra (b. 2 January 1955) is a halfblood witch and the only child of Backett and Gwyneth Sinistra. She is a descendent of the King Family, a pureblood wizarding family, and often switches out Sinistra for her mother’s maiden name depending on the social situation. She attended Hogwarts from age 11 to 18 and was sorted into Ravenclaw house. Aurora’s mentor, Minerva McGonagall encouraged her to apply for the open Astronomy position at Hogwarts and was granted the position on the condition she work on her bedside manner. Aurora took to teaching much better than predicted which lead her to joining Aversio when things started to get dicey. Her commitment to her students is what kicked her into action and, despite not agreeing with everything the organization does, has become one of the most loyal Aversio members.

Early Life
Aurora grew up in Scotland with her muggle father and witch mother. Around her birth her father, Beckett Sinistra, had invented The Slinky and quickly profited from the toy invention. They lived comfortably in the country, exposing the halfblood to both muggle and magical things until her mother’s death at the age of 5. With her father unable to really expose her to the magical world, Aurora had mainly muggle experience until the age of 11 when she received her Hogwarts letter. When they were sure she wasn’t a Squib, the King side of the family started becoming much more involved in Aurora’s life. The purchased her books and school items, everything she needed to be successful. Which she was. Aurora was sorted into Ravenclaw house and quickly established herself as a bright student, but lacked skills in the social side of schooling. While she never became a prefect or Head Girl, she received Os in all of her classes and went on to take N.E.W.T.-level courses in Transfiguration, Astronomy, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Arithmancy.
