History: Mami was born and raised in the charming town of Burford, England, right in the heart of the picturesque Cotswalds area. She grew up in a family of devout Catholics, and followed in that faith, generally being an excellent example of the devoted and pious daughter.

And then one day when Mami was about eleven years old, her family was in a terrible car accident. Her parents were killed instantly, and, by all rights, Mami should have been as well. The paramedics who pulled her out of the wreck agreed that it was a miracle that she had survived. Even after she was brought to the hospital, she recovered from her injuries much more quickly than any of her doctors expected her to. Though she was deeply upset by the loss of her parents, she thanked God for her good fortune in being alive at all, and vowed to make it up to Him in some small way by doing what she could to help others.

Then, one day, a few days before she was released from the hospital, she recieved a visitor. It was a man she had never seen before, who wore strange clothes and presented her with a letter bearing a seal stamped in red wax. The letter told her that she had been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the man explained that it was very much not a hoax; that it was in fact the preeminent school in Europe for young wizards and witches such as herself, and that she would receive the very best in magical education if she chose to attend. He also told her that her magic was probably the reason she had survived the accident that had killed her parents.

Mami accepted the letter and the man's counsel graciously, but on the inside, she was devestated. She had been taught that witchcraft was something unholy and undesirable. To think that that was what was keeping her alive... That night, Mami decided that she would not live as a witch and bring more evil into the world. Surely taking her own life (the life of a witch) would be seen as a lesser sin than that.

However, her suicide attempt failed, and she continued to heal. Deciding that this must be another sign from God that she wasn't yet ready to understand, Mami steeled her resolve to do what she had promised and devote her life to helping others. She decided to attend Hogwarts after all, to learn about her powers so that she would not inadvertently use them for evil, and perhaps even manage to use them for good. After all, everything happens for a reason, and she had been a fool to think that being dead would be preferable to living the life she had been granted.

During her years at Hogwarts, she has learned that witches and wizards were (for the most part) not the evil people that she had once believed, and she threw herself into her new school life. But deep down, she still struggles with the conflict between her faith and her magic (and the fact that some witches and wizards are indeed quite evil), which prevents her from forming truly significant bonds with her classmates.
