Jemina Nolan

JEMINA JADE NOLAN

Jem is a cinnamon roll, pure and simple. She's certainly a testament to great debate regarding nature versus nurture. She's a brilliant girl that pays attention to detail and generally has sound deductive reasoning. However, some believe her gentle and warm nature can be a detriment considering the profession she's chosen.

Jem is a devoted friend, and is typically one to have a very sunny disposition. However, her greatest fear is that she's more like her birth mother than she cares to admit. She's only had a single tantrum (when she was a teenager) that gave a glimpse of the terror that lurks within, or so she believes. So, there's a question of whether it actually exists, or if it's something she simply believes is deeply seeded within her.

Jemina's family isn't her own in a traditional sense, but it is the only one she's ever known and in her mind, the only one she'll ever need. Her (birth) mother, Cruella Lestrange, was an auror, and one that made questionable choices both on and off the job. Perhaps it was even her namesake, while no actual relation to the most notorious of the Lestranges, Bellatrix, that ultimately sealed her fate. Eventually, those mistakes caught up with her and she was forced to face the consequences. Sentenced to years in prison, she made provisions for the one person she trusted above anyone else to care for the child she was pregnant with, her best friend and partner, Jeremiah Nolan.

Jeremiah and his wife, Lara, took in Jemina and raised her as their own. Around the same time, they also took in Jeremiah's niece and raised her too as his their own. Eventually, they bore children of their own, but each child was raised as a Nolan and never felt as if they were anything less.

As Jem came of age, she began to display sign of magic. On her eleventh birthday, she received her letter to Hogwarts and shortly after boarded the train bound for the wizardy school. For the most part, Jem was able to fade in the background, with the exception of her stellar performance in class. It made her a bit of a target for some teasing, but during her third year, she had a single outburst that easily put an end to it. Jem became uncharacteristically violent, and it was the only disciplinary blemish on her record. She spent some months in therapy and has managed to elude any further flair-ups, but it left her fearing that perhaps that violent version could be the true Jem.

After graduating, there was only one thing that Jem wanted to do, and that was follow in the footsteps of her father and become an auror. She has recently finished her training and is now a full auror, where she is looking to blaze her on trail from beneath the shadows of both her father... and her (birth) mother.

CANON RELATION: Jemina would be the (illegitimate) granddaughter of Rudolphus Lestrange.
