A Little More Detail

Personality:
Marlow is a bit of a “Free Spirit.” She does not like to plan anything; instead she enjoys letting fate decide. She often is disorganized due to this fact and struggles with proritizing. She often does what she wants to do when she wants to do instead of focusing on what is important to others. Her father often calls her “scatter-brained” due to her behaviour. Even though Marlow often does not have her prorities right, she does have a strong focus on what she enjoys to do. She is very driven and determined only when it serves her purposes. An example of this is her drawing. Marlow loves anything related to the arts (painting, drawing, music, reading). However, her main focus is and has always been drawing. Marlow will board herself up in her art studio for a whole day only coming out for food and other necessities. Her art work does often interfer with her responsibilities. Her father thinks her “hobby” takes up too much time in her life. Her mother supports her daughter fully, understanding Marlow's passion.

Marlow is a very personable person, however she does pick and choose who gets close to her. She has many “friends”, but only the fair few Marlow would do anything for. Those who she is loyal to, she believes will be friends for life. Marlow has one best friend she has had since she was five years old, Mason. Mason is her next door neighbor and the same age as Marlow. The two have been inseparatable since Marlow moved next store and Mason let her have his Penguin Stuffed Animal as a welcome gift.

Home Life

Family:
Mother:

Name: Ember Alex Sanderson​
Maden Name: Ember Alex Addison​
Birth Name: Alex Ember Addison (Ember goes by her middle name).​
Blood Status: Half Blood​
Profession: Gardener/Homeschool Teacher​
Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw​
History:
Ember's family was very strict. Her mother expected a lot from her daughter and held her to very high standards. She had to get the best grades and participate in all the activities that were "proper." When Ember left for Hogwarts and was sorted into Ravenclaw, her parents were even more critical of her performance. However, this experience did allow Ember to expand her activities where she found her love for herbology. Her parents would have rather her have a more "appropriate" career. To this day Ember does not speak to her mother and her father has now passed away. She is on a good basis with all of her siblings though. She has eight siblings (six sisters and two brothers). She is only on close terms with a few of her siblings.​
Personality:
Marlow's mother, Ember, is much like her daughter (well Marlow is a lot like her). She is very easy going and calm. Ember is a gardener and loves to use magic to help plants and flowers grow. Ember loves to use herbs and plants to help in every day life. She spends most her time in the garden when she is not homeschooling the kids. Ember uses a Reggio Approach to learning which means that she believes children learn through play. This is a very unstructured method of learning and does contribute to Marlow's dislike for schedules and rules. Ember recognizes Marlow's passion for art much like her own passion for gardening. She is very supportive of her children's interests and does whatever she can to make their dreams come true.​

Father:
Name:Donaghy Liam Sanderson​
Blood Status: Muggleborn​
Hogwarts House:Slytherin​
Profession: Doctor (Telemedicine)​
History:
Donaghy grew up with a widowed mother and four siblings. His father passed on when he was only eight years old. Donaghy's mother worked multiple jobs to keep his family afloat and give her children the best she could. Donaghy, as the eldest sibling, would help his mother financially by working a mail route or bagging groceries. He has always been driven and determined to live a “better life.” When he was accepted into Hogwarts (the first in his family), he knew he would one day help his mother and siblings succeed.​
Personality:
Donaghy is the more strict of the parents. Although he loves his wife, he sometimes wonders if she is too “easy” on the kids and their unproductive “hobbys.” Donaghy came from very little and has to work for everything in his life from a young age. This created a very driven individual. Even though Donaghy believes that Marlow's talents would be used better in other fields, he does love his daughter and supports her in his own way. Donaghy travels a lot for work, often leaving for weeks at a time. When he is home, he spends time with the family to make up for the lengths of time he is away from them. Donaghy often “buys” his family's love when he makes a mistake. This often includes new and unique flowers for Ember, art supplies for Marlow, and toys for the boys. He does not intend to use money to create happiness, but growing up with very little he wants to give his children all he didn't have.​

Grandmother:
Name: Rose Talon Sanderson​
Nickname: Mimi​
Blood Status: Half Blood​
Profession: Retired​
History:
Rose is Donaghy's mother. She is a mother of five. All her children are now grown and she has moved into with Donaghy and his family. Rose lost her husband when Donaghy was eight years old. He passed away in a work accident, he was a construction worker. Rose has always done the best she can for her children even in tough times. She is determined, driven, and very hard on herself. She often blames herself for how her children grew up and for her husband's passing.​
Personality:
Rose is a very stubborn woman. She has been through a lot rasing her children alone and it did harden her a little. She is not as affectionate towards Marlow and the twins as Marlow would like in a grandmother. She does love her children and grandchildren, but often neglects to show these feelings.​

Bree
Bree is Marlow's friend. She is the daughter of her mother's best friend. Bree is outgoing and adventuous which leads to her and Marlow getting in trouble.

It is more of a silent friendship based on actions instead of words.​
