Cassandra Burke

Cassandra Morrigan Burke ( b. 5 November 1959 ) is a pureblood witch and the only child of Aurora Burke (née Fenwick ) and Cormac Burke. She attended Hogwarts between 1970 - 1977 and was sorted into Slytherin. As the only daughter in her family, she was considered inferior and to be married off to another pureblood family of similar prestige, such as the Rosier or Rookwood Family. Similarly, she was also meant to be a Death Eater later on and, through being mentored by Orion Black, managed to quickly win Lord Voldemort's trust, resulting in her getting the Dark Mark at the age of 19 in early 1978. She defected on 1 April 1979 after the Selwyn Masquerade Ball, with the help of Amos Diggory, in hopes of a better life and being reunited with Caradoc Dearborn. As a defected Death Eater, Cassandra's considered a traitor to those who know about her whereabouts. After the ball, however, she'd been reported missing by her parents. In order to survive and walk freely, she uses Polyjuice Potion to disguise herself as Cleopatra Delacroix, a French witch who has fled France with her Death Eater boyfriend.

Early Life
Born on a cold day 5 November in Edinburgh, Scotland, Cassandra was born into a proud Pureblood family, who had its roots deeply intertwined with multiple other Pureblood families, namely the Black, Flint, Gaunt and Malfoy family. Being born into a Pureblood family and being an only child, Cassandra learned to adjust and follow certain rules at a very young age. Given her status as the future co-owner of Borgin & Burkes and the Burke legacy, she's been tutored ever since her second birthday in typical housewife crafts like sewing, cooking and cleaning. A lack of guidance from her parents and detachment from reality quickly let her search for fun in her childhood, and, thanks to Rosemary Parkinson, Cassandra found ways to amuse herself while respecting her heritage. Pureblood customs, events, the same faces and places - Cassandra felt less trapped while being around others, hinting to an early development of an extroverted mindset, which would prove itself to blossom within the witch's mind later on. With a Death Eater as her father and a Hit Witch as her mother, Cassandra knew the world wasn't meant to be toyed with, but she'd always found ways to get her way - one way or another.
