Day Three: I Got It From My Mama (talk about a mother of an OC that you love and why) of @endlessly-cursed’s HP women appreciation week

→ The mother of Cian, Ryan, Cara, Sara, and Conor, Ailis Ciara O’Donnell née Lynch is probably my most fleshed out mother, as she’s been around the longest. She’s a Ravenclaw, a healer, and a tragedy. She died when her eldest son, Cian, was nine and when her quadruplets were nearly a year. But Ailis remained in her children. She was there in Ryan’s smile, in Cara’s warmth, in Sara’s compassion, in Conor’s reserve, in Cian’s eyes.

→ The mother of William, Shannon Imogen Devlin has, perhaps, the roughest go of it. She went into her affair with a clear mind, knowing that the viscount was never going to marry her and left of her own accord, penniless and pregnant without the protection of marriage. But Shannon was going to do whatever it took to protect her child and she named her son after her late father and oldest brother. She’s not a mother for very long, but she does her best in a world that’s not kind to unwed mothers.

→ The mother of Edmund, Minerva, Walter, Eliza, Nan, Cordelia, Penelope, and Billie, Alice Anne Kennedy née Fortescue was, unsurpsingly, inspired by Violet Bridgerton. A single mother of eight after losing her husband quite suddenly and being pregnant with eighth at the time. That’s sort of where the similarities end though. Alice doesn’t feel the pressure to urge her children into marriage… possibly because she’s got her hands full with the eight of them following their own chaotic paths to love. At about 23, Ned’s about five seconds from breaking up an engagement. Minerva spends half her life hating her future husband’s guts. And that’s only her eldest two.

Honorary mentions:

Mai Whitten → mother of Darcy, Thea, and Clary and aunt to Jack and Benedict

Moira Pembroke → mother of Max, Caitlin, and Aoife

Lydia Battersea → mother of Harris, Marcus, Simon, and Hermione

Maeve Kelly → mother of Ronan and Niamh

Elizabeth Fitzgerald → mother of Sawyer and Huck

Gabriella Valdez → mother of Elias, Camila, Cisco, Amada, and Joaquin

Photos of my finished design

Model :Ailis O’Donnell- K00248207

This is a dress I created from sheets of cardboard and wire, I drew my inspiration for this design from cow tags, each piece was cut painted and joined together with wire. I chose to add purple gloves as I believe they add vibrancy to the photos and fit excellent into the 60’s style of the dress. I shot these photos in the photography studio on a D7200 Nikon camera, Matt and Bob helped me set up the backround and lighting appropriate for the dress. I am delighted with the outcome of this.

'La La Land' wins big at Baftas 2017 with some politics

It's just two weeks before the Oscars hit, but the BAFTA's took center stage (well right before the Grammy's) Sunday night with "La La Land" winning five awards. Not bad as it had eleven nominations and won for Best film, best actress and best director. "Manchester By the Sea" continued its winning streak for Casey Affleck as best actor and Ken Loach won the best British film award for "I, Daniel Blake." Emma Stone, who won for Best Leading Actress in "La La Land" took her acceptance speech as a moment for her political statement. It was obvious how emotional this was for her as she stumbled slightly giving her message. “It feels like the world is going through a bit of a time right now… “Sorry, I’m losing my words, this always happens… “I don’t know if you’ve realized this, but right now this country and the U.S. and the world seems to be going through a bit of a time. Just a bit,” she said. “In a time that’s so divisive, I think it’s really special that we are all able to come together tonight thanks to BAFTA to celebrate the positive effect of creativity and how we can transcend borders and how we can help people to feel a little less alone.” Emma also acknowledged the BAFTA community for voting for her, telling them: “Thank you so much for this, this is an unbelievable honor.” Viola Davis, who won best supporting actress for "Fences" had a message supporting Meryl Street, whose impassioned speech at the Golden Globes resulted in a nasty Donald Trump tweet tantrum. “Anyone who labels Meryl Streep an overrated actress obviously doesn’t know anything about acting. That’s just the way it is. And that’s not even just directed towards Donald Trump. That’s directed towards anyone,” she told reporters in the press room following her win. “This is someone who is the master at her skill and she has lasted for 40 years — in a very difficult profession might I add. She continued: “I have never met anyone who has been in her presence who she has not made feel like a star in their own lives. That is a rock. Very humble, very gracious human being.”

An Unexpectedly Welcome Surprise

Event: Day 2 of @hphm-ship-week

Prompt: Second wizarding war

Sara O’Donnell-Lee stared down at the test in her hand, her mind racing. This wasn’t supposed to happen yet. They’d been so precise, trying to avoid this exact outcome. They’d wanted to wait until after the war, until their lives weren’t at risk every moment of every day. But, Sara supposed, five tests (four muggle and one magical) didn’t lie.  

“Sara? Love?” Her husband’s voice rang out, muffled by the door and layers of house.

“One minute,” Sara called back as she made her way down to the front door.

“What’s my favorite creature?” she asked, once she’d reached the door. They had a rotating list of security questions as had been the usual since Voldemort’s return had become public knowledge.

“The matagot… or crup. You think crups make better pets than matagots.”

“Yep. And I stand by that, Barn. No matagots for pets.”

“Okay.” He paused. “What’s my muggle sweet?”

“Love hearts. They’re your favorite.”

“Yep.”

Sara unlocked the door, letting out a breath that she hadn’t realized she’d been holding as Barnaby came into view. He was always a sight for sore eyes. A tall broad form with chestnut brown hair and bright green eyes and a five o’clock shadow dancing around his jawline. He wore his usual leather jacket, the one she’d gifted him upon completion of the magiozoologist training program. 

“Evening, love,” he murmured, pressing a kiss to the side of her head.

“Evening,” she echoed, looking down at the hand that still grasped the test from earlier as if just realizing that she hadn’t left it behind in their bathroom.

“How was your day?” 

Barnaby looked up when she didn’t respond. “Sara?” he asked.

She sighed. “I have some big news,” she replied.

“What’s up?”

“Well, I’ve been feeling a little off the past few weeks and noticed that I’d missed it last month and that plus the vomiting plus the exhaustion led me go and get a few muggle tests because I don’t want to go to someone and risk this getting out much further than I want it to.”

“Sara…”

“Well, what I’m trying to tell you without actually saying it, ‘cause we both agreed that waiting until after the war was ideal and we haven’t even been married a year yet.”

“Sara…”

“I’m pregnant, Barnaby.”

He froze for half a second, barely enough time for panic to set into Sara’s gut, but it started anyways. But then, Barnaby let out a whoop and spun her around. The test that she’d still been holding crashed to the ground.

“Merlin’s beard. I shouldn’t have done that should I?” Barnaby asked.

“It’s fine, Barnaby. There’s a lot more danger out there right now. But you’re happy?” Sara asked.

“Of course, I am. I’ve always wanted kids with you. You’ll be an amazing mum, Sara, love. I know it. You’re so kind to everyone.”

“I know it’s not the ideal time.”

“Would it ever be?” 

Sara froze at Barnaby’s words. He was right. There would probably never be the right time for kids. And they’d already been moving cautiously. 

“I suppose you’re right. I just wasn’t expecting it,” she replied after a moment.

Barnaby smiled and pulled her close, cradling her face with his large hands before gently pressing his lips to hers. Sara sighed, moving her hands to thread through Barnaby’s hair. After they broke apart, Barnaby’s hand traveled gently to her stomach, a look of awe breaking out on his face.

“I love you, Barnaby Abernathy Lee,” Sara breathed.

“I love you, too, Sara Ailis O’Donnell,” Barnaby replied.

Grandchildren:  Cian (Jan. 18, 1965-Dec. 2002), Ryan, Cara, Sara, and Conor O’Donnell (b. Aug. 18, 1973)

Great-grandchildren: Theodora “Dora,” Declan, Michael, Keira, Violet, Winifred, Brendan, Seth, Naomi, and Ciaran

Patronus: Leopard 

Favorite Subjects: Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Study of Ancient Runes

Least Favorite Subjects: Flying, Potions 

Extracurriculars: Prefect, head boy

Hobbies: Reading, gardening, playing the piano, stamp collecting, coin collecting 

Personality: Reserved, loyal, hardworking, has a sarcastic side, kind, friendly, gregarious, a slightly skittish nature, intelligent, stubborn, introverted, loving, cautious 

About Conor: The first Lynch to be sorted into Hufflepuff in over a century, Conor is both very similar and very different to his parents and has a very complicated relationship with them, as they both overcorrected in their attempts to not be like their own parents. This means that Conor learned to be independent at a younger age than most of his peers. However, that never affected him too much as Conor has always had a rather serious bend. He’s quite a private person, but he is very kind, friendly, and has a gregarious nature around people that he is comfortable with. He does enjoy being around people, even though he’s got a slightly skittish nature. He’s also quite intelligent, stubborn, and cautious. 

Conor never really has a good relationship with either of his parents and in the Tadhg Lives AU, he runs away at the age of 12 and begins living with his uncle and aunt. His relationship with his parents never gets the chance to heal either, as they both pass away before they could. However, in the Tadhg Lives AU, he does reconcile with his mother shortly before she passes away and he gets the opportunity to introduce her to his two children, Doyle and Ailis.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Conor becomes a healer like his daughter and youngest granddaughter. He also marries Ciara Mallon, a muggleborn from Derry in Northern Ireland. He falls for Ciara quite quickly and is surprised that they never ran into one another while at Hogwarts. He has two children with Ciara, a son named Doyle Brannigan who was born on December 13, 1925, and a daughter named Ailis Ciara who was born on March 24, 1936. Conor loved both of his children, but he ended up feeling quite wary about the direction his son was heading. The boy was acting much like Conor’s father had and he found that concerning, but his son ignored everything that Conor said causing a rift to form between father and son. His relationship with his daughter was much better and he was quite happy to give her away to a muggleborn man from Donegal named Seán O’Donnell. Sadly, Conor never gets the chance to meet any of his grandchildren as he contracted a fatal case of dragon pox in 1964, while his daughter was pregnant with his first grandchild. 

Trivia:

Conor’s youngest grandson is named after him. His middle grandson is also named after him, but more indirectly and it also honors his grandson’s paternal grandfather. 

Conor’s relationship with his son went downhill after an argument during the Christmas holidays of 1943. It was bad and nothing was ever the same again. Conor was very heartbroken by their falling out and did try to reach out to his son a few times, but Doyle never replied.

Conor’s relationships with his parents were always rather rocky. They didn’t always get along and well, Conor found himself being a bit of a black sheep in the family. In fact, Conor pretty much sets a new precedent for the Lynch family and it’s his children that end this particular branch of the Lynch family.

Nicknames: None

Name Meanings: Saoirse → Irish, “liberty” ; Adelia → German, “noble, nobility” ; Lynch → Irish, “mariner.”

Date of Birth: October 10, 1912 (at 5:09 pm)

Gender: Female ; she/her

Sexuality: Bisexual 

Hogwarts House: Gryffindor 

Faceclaim: Raegan Revord 

Parents: Tadhg Lynch and Niamh Kelly 

Siblings: Aisling Maeve and Oscar Oisín Lynch

Patronus: Lion

Favorite Subjects: Flying, Charms, Transfiguration 

Least Favorite Subjects: Potions, History of Magic, Herbology

Extracurriculars: Chaser on her house quidditch team starting in fourth year 

Hobbies: Quidditch, football/soccer, reading, flying, horse riding, writing

Personality: Kind, friendly, outgoing, optimistic, impulsive, spontaneous, brazen, gregarious, disorganized, intelligent, stubborn, relaxed 

About Saoirse: As the younger daughter, Saoirse has always felt like she needs to compare herself to her older sister, which couldn’t be further from the truth. She might be similar in personality to her sister, but she’s also very different and her parents have always avoided comparing their children. In fact, Saoirse takes after her mother more so than her sister does, although she does have a lot of her father’s impulsivity and spontaneous nature. She’s an outgoing girl with a lot of intelligence and is quite fond of quidditch. She also has a very close relationship with her twin brother, Oscar, and her relationship with her sister is occasionally contentious.

Upon starting her education at Hogwarts, Saoirse was sorted into Gryffindor just like her father had been and found herself right at home there. Perhaps it was because she had grown up around a lot of different Gryffindors and had a lot of good role models to look up to from that house. She also discovered a true passion in quidditch, earning the position of chaser in her fourth year after she spent the summer practicing with her father and some of her “cousins.” 

Despite her passion for quidditch, Saoirse’s ambition had always been to follow in her mother’s footsteps to become an auror. As a child, she had grown up listening to stories about what her mother had done during her early years as a field auror and she had always been completely fascinated by the stories. After graduating, Saoirse made that dream a reality, joining the auror training program as one of five girls in the class of thirty-five. 

Trivia:

Saoirse’s middle name is after her godmother, who is basically the closest her father has to a sister.

Saoirse loves to hold it over Oscar’s head that she’s five minutes older than him.

Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw 

Faceclaim: Iain Armitage 

Parents: Tadhg Lynch and Niamh Kelly 

Sisters: Aisling Maeve and Saoirse Brigid Lynch 

Patronus: Irish wolfhound (like his father)

Favorite Subjects: Flying, arithmancy, study of ancient runes  

Least Favorite Subjects: Herbology, potions

Extracurriculars: Seeker on his house quidditch team in his third year ; prefect

Hobbies: Hiking, reading, flying

Personality: Reserved, logical, practical, rational, stubborn, intelligent, curious, kind, observant, quiet, hardworking, determined, overthinker

About Oscar: As the only son, Oscar tends to take after his father more so than his mother. However, he lacks his father’s interest in mischief. He’s a quiet, reserved person with a logical and rational nature that’s accompanied by a kind and curious nature as well. He’s always felt like an individual, likely because he is the only son and that he’s never felt a desire to compare himself to his sisters… aside from in a competitive sense but that’s mostly reserved for the quidditch pitch. He has a close relationship with his twin sister, Saoirse, and a good relationship with his sister, Aisling, and his parents. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Oscar was sorted into Ravenclaw, where he excelled in many of his classes and found himself at home in the house. He liked the connection to his mother and he also had a few “cousins” in the house, so there were some familiar faces to turn to. He also truly found quidditch and fell in love with it, just like his sister did and like his sister, he didn’t devote his life to quidditch. Unlike his sister, though, Oscar became a prefect in his fifth year and he found the position to be interesting. He learned that he preferred to work by himself and he didn’t want to be one to have too much power. Instead, after graduating, Oscar found himself inheriting the Kelly farm after his grandfather passed and he became quite the magical farmer… something no one ever expected from him.

Trivia:

Oscar is named after his mother’s late older brother, Ronan Oscar Kelly who passed away as a very young child. His middle name is after family friends.

About Harry: As the eldest son, Harry generally has a rather serious demeanor. He takes after his father a lot in temperament and demeanor, although Harry has never felt the weight of the world on his shoulders. He’s much more uptight than his siblings, although he does have a close bond with his younger brother, Andrew. In addition, Harry is a bit closer to his mother than he is his father. There’s no real reason, aside from the fact that Harry spent a bit more time with his mother than he did his father. 

Upon starting his education at Hogwarts, Harry was sorted into Ravenclaw. He was a hatstall between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, though. He didn’t join the quidditch team, though, as he had a slight desire to rebel against his family’s quidditch passions. It wasn’t big, but he found his own passions and interests, although he did continue to support quidditch teams. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Harry became an astronomer. He had always been fascinated by space and paid close attention to the advancements that the muggles were making. In addition, Harry fell in love with Lucy Devlin, a magiczoologist and fellow Ravenclaw alumn. Together, they had three children: Dorothy Josephine “Dot,” Eamon William, and Rosemary Ivy Pembroke.

Trivia:

Harry’s middle name is after his late paternal grandfather, Gareth Rhys Pembroke. 

Like all three of his siblings, Harry knows the sign language that his Aunt Aoife uses and has learned it since birth, more or less.

Harry doesn’t really respond to the name “Henry.” He mostly hates being called it. Lucy is the only one he really allows to call him “Henry,” though. 

Harry is the great-grandfather of Sophia Josephine “Sophie” Pembroke and her two siblings, Rhys Andrew and Emmeline Daisy “Emmy” Pembroke.

Personality: Intelligent, stubborn, hardworking, modest, kind, warm, loyal, athletic, friendly, reserved, anxiety-prone, athletic, mischievous 

About Margo: As the only daughter and youngest child, Margo takes after her mother a lot. She has her mother’s warm and friendly nature, but it’s coupled with her father’s reserved and anxiety-prone nature. These balance each other out, though. In addition, Margo has a close relationship with her father and with her brother, Colin. Colin is her favorite person to prank, because Colin will get involved and enjoy them.

Upon starting her education at Hogwarts, Margo was sorted into Hufflepuff, just like both of her parents had been. She found her footing in Hufflepuff quite quickly, feeling at home early on in her first year. In her third year, she made the Hufflepuff quidditch team with the position of seeker. She enjoyed the position, but hated the way everyone immediately compared her to her father. Therefore, when the opportunity to play other positions emerged, Margo jumped at the opportunity, but she always came back to seeker.

Despite her passion for quidditch, Margo never went professional. She enjoyed it as more of a pastime or hobby. Instead, she went on to become a quidditch journalist, reporting on the different games throughout the British and Irish league. She also dabbled in other writing pursuits like fiction, but never took them professional during her lifetime. 

Trivia:

Like her father, Margo is allergic to cats. 

Margo inherited her mother’s ability to change her hair color. However, she also inherited her mother’s limitations, meaning that the only colors she can change her hair to are blonde and brunette.

One of Margo’s favorite pastimes is pranking her brothers. She loves to mess with them, especially when they start getting on her nerves. She has started more than one prank war with Colin, as he’s the brother that willingly goes along with it.

About Lucy: As the younger twin and middle daughter, Lucy struggles to find her footing. She’s the middle child, in every way, and while she definitely doesn’t feel like a middle child, Lucy struggles to understand her own role in the family. She is her mother’s daughter, though, and they share many similarities in personality. Lucy takes great pride in their similarities. Aside from her twin, she’s closest to Mattie, although she has never truly shared her sister’s desire for creative pursuits.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Lucy is sorted into Ravenclaw after ten minutes of the hat debating if she would fit better in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. She became comfortable in Ravenclaw quite quickly, which was likely helped by the fact that her twin had also been placed there and so, Lucy had a familiar face to turn to. Luckily, the students and people around them were able to understand that Emmeline and Lucy were different people, even if they were quite similar.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Lucy followed her mother’s footsteps into the field of magiozoology. She became fascinated by moon calves and augries, in particular. In addition, Lucy also fell in love with Harry Pembroke, an astronomer and a fellow Ravenclaw alumn. They had three children together: Dorothy Josephine “Dot,” Eamon William, and Rosemary Ivy Pembroke.

Trivia:

Lucy’s family are the only ones who call her “Lucy-Lu.” Harry Pembroke is the only one who calls her “Lu.” Everyone else calls her “Lucy” and that’s the way that she likes it. 

Lucy’s middle name is in honor of her mother.

As a child, she would bring home all sorts of injured animals that she found while exploring the land surrounding the family’s home.

As an adult, the Devlin-Pembroke house is home to many different creatures, most of which Lucy had brought home. 

Lucy is the great-grandmother of Sophia Josephine “Sophie” Pembroke and her siblings, Rhys Andrew and Emmeline Daisy “Emmy” Pembroke.

Hobbies: Quidditch, fencing, reading 

Personality: Reserved, cautious, compassionate, kind, loyal, hardworking, intelligent, strong sense of fairness, practical, athletic, modest, reliable, humble, helpful, stubborn, conscientious 

About Sebastian: As the younger son, Sebastian is the child that takes after his father the most… at least in terms of personality. He also is, perhaps, the closest to William as well. They just click quite well. In addition, aside from his twin (of course), Sebastian is probably the closest to his big brother, Samuel. He absolutely adores his big brother, in a way that happened due to their ten year age gap. He doesn’t feel the need to rebel against their parents the way that Samuel does, though.

When he started his education at Hogwarts, Sebastian was sorted into Hufflepuff. For the first time in his life, Sebastian found himself separated from Mattie, which left him panicked for the first few weeks. Slowly, though, Sebastian found his place within Hufflepuff house. He joined the quidditch team in his third year, earning the position of seeker. He wouldn’t pursue it as a career, but he quite enjoyed the sport. 

Perhaps unsurprisingly, given his similarities to his father, Sebastian ends up becoming a wandmaker after he graduates from Hogwarts. He never became a big name like Ollivander’s or Gregorovitch. Instead, he kept a small practice and preferred it that way. 

Trivia:

Sebastian is ten minutes older than his twin sister, Mattie. 

His middle name is after both his father and great-grandfather. His great-grandfather was named Liam, which is an Irish variation of William.

Born seven years after Emmeline and Lucy, Sebastian (and his twin sister) was a surprise baby. 

His siblings are the only ones who really call him “Seb” or “Bastian.” He prefers “Bastian,” but would really just like to be called Sebastian.

He is a very good fencer, besting all four of his siblings quite often.

About Mattie: As the youngest daughter, Mattie is the only one of her siblings to have a creative passion. She is quite fond of the piano and can often be found playing a piano during gatherings. In addition, she’s quite fond of painting, although she’s not interested in making a career out of it. Aside from her creative passions, Mattie has a close relationship with her siblings. Besides her twin, Mattie is probably the closest to her sister, Lucy.

When she started her education, Mattie was sorted into Slytherin. Finding herself separated from Sebastian for the first time, Mattie found her footing surprisingly quickly. She joined the Slytherin quidditch team in her fourth year, earning the position of keeper. She enjoyed the sport, but not as much as either of her brothers.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Mattie became a tutor/governess. She wasn’t thrilled with the job, struggling to find things that felt fulfilling. She found fulfillment, though, when she began to teach music to young girls. It was a satisfying move. 

Trivia:

Mattie is ten minutes younger than her twin brother, Sebastian. 

Her siblings are the only people who ever call her “Tilly.” They only do it when they want to get on her nerves. Sebastian tends to do it the most often, but she’ll call him “Seb” in return.

Born seven years after Emmeline and Lucy, Mattie and her twin brother were surprise babies.

The Vaulties | Day 3: OCs who Owned Me

William John Devlin — Look if I had to pick a favorite out of my legacy/Victorian kiddos, it’s this boy. I love him so much. William is a bastard, in the illegitimate sense and he’s got a lot of issues tied to that. He’s an artist, but doesn’t see himself as one until he’s in his 30s. He rarely lets anyone see how the world has beaten him down and isn’t always kind to himself.

Sara Ailis O’Donnell — As one of the OGs, Sara has a special place in my heart. The third quadruplet, Sara is also the most compassionate. She’s always got a piece of kindness for nearly everybody. She’s soft and kind and possibly their personification of the cinnamon roll character. She’s been in love with Barnaby since her sixth year and there’s never been anyone else, which she knows is so rare.

Conor Lorcan O’Donnell — As another one of the OGs, Conor also has a very special place in my heart. The fourth quadruplet, Conor is the quietest. He’s got so much going on in his head but a combination of a reserved nature and a stutter make it hard for him to share. He’s also the first kid in the HPHM crew to master non-verbal magic… much to a lot of people’s surprise. Conor is used to being underestimated because so many in the wizarding world assume that his stutter means that his intelligence is low. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Conor is extremely intelligent and goes on to become an architect, studying under muggle guidance.

Camila Ines Valdez Santiago — She’s been on my mind a lot recently. A Slytherin in the same year as Harry Potter himself, Camila is ready to fight about half of the people in her year… mostly Malfoy. She cannot stand his smug little face and attitude. But as the astronomy professor during the magic awakened era, Camila is quite a fair professor, extending gratitude to all pretty much all of her students.

Luke Percival Battersea — The newest kid on the list, Luke has a lot of stuff going on and a fascinating story. The sole survivor of a dark wizard attack, Luke’s determined to figure why exactly his family was targeted. He’s also halfway in love with Sophie Pembroke by the end of their fifth year. Star Wars nerd. Sports fan. Seeker.

Declan Ryan O’Donnell-Lee — Sara’s eldest son with her husband, Barnaby, Declan is such a great edition. He’s under the impression that because his life is so good, he’s not allowed to struggle. He often pushes aside his own issues because he doesn’t think they’re worthy of feeling because other people have it worse, because he doesn’t think his issues are legitimate. The only place he feels fully comfortable is the quidditch pitch, but even then his issues with feeling valued flare up.

Personality: Kind, loyal, bold, impulsive, outgoing, stubborn, observant, practical, friendly, intelligent, athletic, gregarious, original, optimistic, sarcastic

About Michael: As the eldest child, Michael is a trouble magnet. He does not go seeking trouble, but somehow, he often ends up in it… usually as the result of a poorly thought out plan. This tends to happen a lot when Michael is accompanied by his cousins, Violet and Keira, who are pretty much his best friends. He enjoys spending time with his family a lot. They’re big and loud and crazy, but Michael wouldn’t trade them for anything, especially because he’s never left feeling lost or alone when he’s with them. He has a good relationship (usually) with his sister, Winifred, who he can be quite protective of. He also has good relationships with his parents, although he’s a little closer to his father than he is to his mother, but he loves them both.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Michael was sorted into Hufflepuff, just like his mother. He joined the frog choir in his first year and joined the Hufflepuff quidditch team as a beater in his fourth year before being made a prefect in his fifth year. Despite this, though, Michael often finds himself landing in detention quite a fair bit, mostly as a result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time or taking the fall for one of his cousins or his sister. He loved his time at Hogwarts, finding out who he was and what he was interested in doing with his life.

After graduating, Michael started working at the Ministry of Magic, but quickly grew tired of the monotony of work that he was presented with. Therefore, Michael quit his job and began working at the reopened Fortescue’s Ice Cream Shop, where he discovered his love for working with food. Michael let this desire take over and soon he began to save in order to open up his own cafe, which he eventually succeeded in doing. 

Trivia:

Michael is bilingual, being fluent in both English and Irish Gaelic.

Michael is in a bit of a close trio with his cousins, Violet and Keira.

He is named after his grandfathers. Michael is his father’s and paternal grandfather’s middle name, while George Haywood is his maternal grandfather. 

Michael can be quite protective of his sister and younger cousins. He’s the third oldest out of the ten O’Donnell cousins, after all.

About Winifred: As the youngest child, Winifred is a troublemaker and often gets into mischief, mostly due to her penchant for pranking her cousins and older brother. Despite this, Winifred is someone that can be trusted and she;s generally reliable. She takes after her mother a little more than her father. She has a good relationship with her parents, although she’s closer to her mother than her father. She’s also got a close relationship with her cousin, Brendan, who’s only a few days older than she is. In addition, she’s generally got a good relationship with her older brother, Michael, although she finds him to be obnoxious in that way that younger sisters do. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Winifred was sorted into Gryffindor, just like her father. Unlike her brother, she didn’t join the quidditch team and she wasn’t named prefect. Instead, Winifred joined the frog choir in her first year as she found that she really enjoyed singing, even though there was no way that she would go and sing professionally. She also discovered her sexuality pretty early on in her time at Hogwarts and had her first girlfriend at the age of 14. It was a short-lived relationship, though.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Winifred went on to become a cursebreaker, following in the footsteps of her father.

Trivia:

Winifred is named after her maternal great-grandmother, Winifred Haywood, and her paternal grandmother, Ailis O’Donnell née Lynch. 

Winifred is bilingual, being fluent in both English and Irish Gaelic.

About Keira: As an only child and an adopted one at that, Keira had always wanted to know everything about everything. She’s got an insatiable curiosity, that ranges from magical history to learning about her biological parents. She loves her adopted parents, though, and is a bit closer to Cara, although she takes after Rowan more than she does Cara. In addition, Keira loves her whole extended family. She’s the closest to Violet and Michael, as they’re the same age, but she has good relationships with all of her other cousins. I

Upon starting Hogwarts, Keira was sorted into Gryffindor after a hatstall between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. She enjoyed her time at Hogwarts, discovering that her passion for history ran deep and discovering little facts about her biological parents, like that her father had been a Gryffindor too. She never joined the quidditch team, having little interest in the sport beyond supporting her family. However, she was made a prefect in her fifth year and became head girl in her seventh year. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Keira went on to become a magical historian, which eventually led to her taking on the position of history of magic professor at Hogwarts. She also continued to research into her biological parents and while never satisfied with her finds, she made peace with what she had found. 

Trivia:

Keira was adopted in May of 2003, at the age of five months old. She had no memory of her biological parents, Hana and Akio Kishi, muggleborns who were murdered by a rogue blood purist leftover from Voldemort’s war. She is of Japanese descent, with both her parents being children of Japanese immigrants to the UK in the 1960s.

Keira is an animagus, taking the form of a tabby cat. She pursued it after graduating from Hogwarts. 

Keira is bilingual, fluent in English and Irish Gaelic. She also worked on teaching herself Japanese, but she isn’t fluent in it.

About Dora: The eldest of the O’Donnell-Lee siblings and the O’Donnell cousins, Dora takes after her mother. She’s warm and friendly and always ready to lend a hand. She loves her family, feeling quite protective over all of them. She’s definitely closer to her father and shares his love for all things creatures. She’s got a close relationship with her younger sister, Violet, gets along pretty well with her youngest brother, Brendan, but tends to butt heads with her younger brother, Declan. She loves all of her cousins and feels quite protective over them.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Dora was quickly sorted into Hufflepuff. She found herself at home in the house quite quickly, feeling like she belonged early on. Dora never had much of an interest in quidditch and only began attending games when Declan made the Slytherin quidditch team and then other cousins and siblings made their respective house teams. In her fifth year, however, Dora was named a prefect just like her mother and been.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Dora followed her father’s footsteps and became a magiozoologist. She loved it and after working on her own for a bit, she decided to join the team at the O’Donnell-Lee Creature Reserve and Rehab Center.

Trivia:

Dora is named after Nymphadora Tonks, although her parents decided against using Nymphadora and picked Theodora instead.

About Violet: As the youngest daughter, Violet is also very much her mother’s daughter and also has her father’s love for magical creatures and all animals really. She’s closer to her father as well, but has a close relationship with her mother. She’s closest to her cousins, Michael and Keira, but out of her siblings, she’s closest to her sister, Dora. She gets along alright with her brothers, although she fights with Brendan the most and fights with Declan a lot too. Family is very important to Violet.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Violet was sorted into Ravenclaw after being a hatstall between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. She finds herself at home in Ravenclaw and gains a lot of confidence in herself while at Hogwarts. In her fifth year, she makes the Ravenclaw quidditch in the position of chaser. Quidditch is not her passion, but nevertheless Violet enjoys playing the sport. There’s always a bit of dread whenever she plays Slytherin in her fifth year, knowing that her older brother, Declan, is their seeker and captain and that he’s being scouted by professional teams. She doesn’t want to make him look bad, even if they bicker a lot. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Violet’s path diverged slightly from her older sister’s and younger brother’s paths. Instead of becoming a magiozoologist (or a quidditch player like Declan), Violet went into the field of magioveterinary practice. Like her siblings, Violet also ends up working at the O’Donnell-Lee Creature Reserve & Rehab Center. 

Trivia:

Violet’s middle name is after her Aunt Cara.

Like the rest of her family, Violet is fluent in both English and Irish Gaelic.

He also has a close relationship with his cousin, Winifred, as they’re the same age and seem to click really well. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Brendan is quickly sorted into Hufflepuff. He finds himself to be quite at home in Hufflepuff, making friends easily, even though he’s a bit shy. He never joins the quidditch team or is made a prefect, but he doesn’t mind. Indeed, it gives Brendan more time to do what he wants. He does join the magical creatures club, though. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Brendan becomes a magiozoologist, following in the footsteps of his father and oldest sister. He also eventually makes his way to working at the O’Donnell-Lee Creature Reserve and Rehab Center, but he doesn’t start there. 

Trivia:

Brendan is technically named after his mother. Barnaby suggested the name Brendan after discovering that it meant prince as Sara is a Hebrew name meaning princess. His middle name is after his uncle. 

Brendan is fluent in English and Irish Gaelic, just like the rest of his siblings and cousins.

About Seth: As the oldest triplet, Seth is the most troublesome of the three. He tends to take a leaf out of his cousins, Michael’s and Winifred’s books, although he’s not a fan of pranks. Seth just likes understanding mysteries and everything around him. He’s got a close relationship with his triplets, Naomi and Ciaran, even though they bicker quite a bit. He’s got a closer relationship with his mother, too, but gets along well with his father.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Seth was sorted into Ravenclaw, just like both of his parents. He found himself feeling quite comfortable in Ravenclaw, which was helped by the fact that his triplets had been sorted in there as well. He joined the Ravenclaw quidditch team in his fourth year in the position of beater. In his fifth year, he was made a prefect alongside his sister. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Seth was inspired by his late paternal grandfather and joined the aurors. He found himself quite content with the career, enjoying the fast pace.

Seth is trilingual, fluent in English, Irish Gaelic, and Yiddish. He’s also familiar with Hebrew. 

Seth and his siblings are technically Jewish, because his mother is Jewish. However, both Jewish and Christian traditions occur in the O’Donnell-Lyman household.

Seth is a triplet.

About Naomi: As the middle triplet, Naomi takes after her mother more so than her father. She prefers to spend her time not being involved in mischief and wants to put her best foot forward in everything. She’s got a close relationship with her triplets, being a tad closer to Ciaran though. She’s got good relationships with both of her parents and really admires both of them.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Naomi was sorted into Ravenclaw. She found herself feeling comfortable in the house quite quickly, helped by the facts that her brothers were there too and that her mother happened to be the charms professor. She never joined the quidditch team, leaving that for her brothers, but she was made a prefect in her fifth alongside her brother, Seth. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Naomi becomes invested in writing and goes onto write textbooks and the occasional novel.

Naomi is named after her late maternal great-grandmother with her middle name being after her late paternal grandmother.

About Ciaran: As the youngest triplet, Ciaran is very much his father’s son. He’s got his father’s reserved nature coupled with the inheritance of his father’s stutter. Unlike his father, though, Ciaran grows up feeling comfortable with the imperfections that accompany his stutter… thanks to the support of his whole family. He’s got a close relationship with his triplets, even though they do occasionally bicker. He’s also got close relationships with his parents. He is closer to his father, though.

Upon starting Hogwarts, Ciaran was quickly sorted into Ravenclaw. He took the longest to become comfortable at Hogwarts, but everything was made easier by his siblings being with him and his mother being one of their professors. In his third year, Ciaran made the Ravenclaw quidditch in the position of seeker, the same one that his father had played.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Ciaran continued in his father’s footsteps and decided to go into the field of architecture. He attended a muggle university in Dublin, while also learning about the magical components from his father. 

Trivia:

Ciaran’s middle name is after his late maternal great-grandfather.

Ciaran, like his siblings, is fluent in English, Irish Gaelic, and Yiddish. He also knows some Hebrew.

Ciaran is a triplet.

Enneagram Type: 2 — the giver

Description: Sara strives to see the best in others and in situations, but falls short with certain people. She has a very big heart, but has a tendency to forget to take care of herself and prioritizes others’ needs and approval above her own. As she grows older, Sara slowly begins to learn how to put herself first, and still remain a good and loyal friend. She has a soft and warm heart, which also leads to some people occasionally taking advantage of her (or at least trying to). Sara is rarely driven to anger, and tends to reserve her anger for people who hurt those she loves.

✧ MAGIC ✧

First Wand: Sara’s first wand is made of alder wood with a unicorn tail hair core and is 11 ½ inches with a stiff flexibility.

→ Alder was an unyielding wood. Garrick Ollivander had discovered that its ideal owner was not stubborn or obstinate, but often helpful, considerate and most likeable. Whereas most wand woods sought similarity in the characters of those they would best serve, alder was unusual in that it seemed to desire a nature that was, if not precisely opposite to its own, certainly of a markedly different type. When an alder wand was happily placed, it became a magnificent, loyal helpmate. Of all wand types, alder was best suited to non-verbal spell work, whence came its reputation for being suitable only for the most advanced witches and wizards.

Second Wand: Sara’s second wand is made of willow wood with a unicorn tail hair core and is 12 ¼ inches with an unyielding flexibility. 

→ Willow was an uncommon wand wood with healing power, and their ideal owner often had some (usually unwarranted) insecurity, however well they might try and hide it. They had a handsome appearance and well-founded reputation for enabling advanced, non-verbal magic. The willow wands there had consistently selected those of greatest potential, rather than those who felt they had little to learn.

Other Magical Abilities: None

Patronus: Lop-eared rabbit

Patronus Memory: The soft singing voice of her father, singing a lullaby. He’s not a good singer, but it’s the best memory she hand of him. 

Boggart: A corpse that belongs to someone that she loves 

Riddikulus: The corpse springs awake, dressed in a frilly costume 

Amortentia:

Sara smells like lavender, citrus, parchment, and clean.

Sara smells freshly baked bread, old books, the air after it rains, fresh dirt, and pine. 

Mirror of Erised: Sara sees herself surrounded by her family.

✧ FAMILY ✧

Father: Seán Michael O’Donnell [deceased, 1936-1978]

Seán was born in Donegal Town, Ireland on June 30, 1936 to Lorcan and Rose O’Donnell. He was their only child and was raised Catholic. His family had always had a more liberal approach to Catholicism, though. Seán had a good childhood that was lively and full of joy. He had a close knit group of friends and his family was well off.

After unexpectedly receiving his Hogwarts letter on his eleventh birthday, Seán was sorted into Ravenclaw. He enjoyed his time at Hogwarts, joining the quidditch team and making a network of friends. His future wife was amongst that group. Seán was a fairly popular and handsome young man, who attracted attention everywhere he went. 

After graduating from Hogwarts, Seán began to pursue a career as an auror. He was successful and raised quickly through the ranks. However, he only did field work for ten years, switching to desk work when his eldest son was born in 1965. He retired from the ministry and auror office in January of 1975 after the death of his wife a few months prior. Shortly after, Albus Dumbledore offered Seán a position teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts for the 1975-1976 school year. Seán spent a long time deliberating before he agreed to the position, as long as Dumbledore would honor the terms and conditions Seán laid out. Seán retired after that one year, citing a desire to spend more time with his children.

In 1959, Seán ran into Ailis Lynch. Literally. He spilled his coffee over the both of them and something they began rekindling their friendship, which eventually turned to romance. On Ailis’s twenty-fourth birthday, Seán asked Ailis out to dinner for their first date. They would date for approximately two years before getting married on May 29, 1962. 

Their first years of marriage were tough, as both faced losses, including the death of Seán’s auror partner. However, it was filled with lots of love and patience. Three years into their marriage, their eldest son, Cian Jacob was born on January 18, 1965. Eight years and three miscarriages later, Seán’s youngest children, Ryan Michael, Cara Rose, Sara Ailis, and Conor Lorcan were born on August 18, 1973. 

The first year with the quadruplets went quite smoothly, but everything changed in July of 1974. His wife became incredibly ill and no one was ever able to diagnose her. Seán became a widower and single father on August 2, 1974. He would never remove his wedding band. 

In April of 1978, Seán was killed in an automobile wreck. It was wet and dark and something just went wrong. He was killed upon impact and his death was a significant blow to the family.

Sara adored her father, but unfortunately, she doesn’t have many clear memories of him. The one true memory she has of him, which is her patronus memory, is just his voice singing a lullaby. He was not a good singer, but Sara remembers his singing fondly. 

Faceclaim: Pierce Brosnan (1980s)

Mother: Ailis Ciara O’Donnell née Lynch [deceased, 1936-1974]

Ailis was born in Dublin, Ireland in March 24, 1936 to Conor and Ciara Lynch. She joined older brother, Doyle who was ten. She had a happy childhood that was full of love. Due to their age gap, her older brother was rarely around and she was shielded from some of her parents’ concerns about him. She’d share those concerns later in life, but never noticed it prior to starting Hogwarts. 

Upon starting Hogwarts, Ailis was sorted into Ravenclaw. She enjoyed her time at Hogwarts. She became a prefect and made a group of good friends. It wasn’t as extensive a network as her husband or youngest four children made, but they were still close friends. She also became good friends with her future husband, although she never would have called him a close friend and may have harbored a secret crush on him.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Ailis began her career as a healer. She spent her first few years working at St. Mungo’s in London, but would transfer to the Irish hospital, Leighis. She spent the remainder of her career at Leighis. 

In 1959, Ailis reconnected with Seán O’Donnell… after he spilled his coffee all over the two of them. Ailis was instantly smitten with the man and they began rekindling their friendship, which turned romantic when he asked her to dinner on her twenty-fourth birthday. Ailis married Seán on May 29, 1962. 

Their first years of marriage were a little rough as they both faced a series of losses, including the death of Ailis’s parents from dragon pox while she was pregnant with her first child. However, their marriage was filled with lots of love and patience. Three years into their marriage, their eldest son, Cian Jacob was born on January 18, 1965. Eight years and three miscarriages later, her youngest four children, Ryan Michael, Cara Rose, Sara Ailis, and Conor Lorcan were born on August 18, 1973. 

Their first year or so with the quadruplets went pretty smoothly, but everything changed when Ailis fell gravely ill in July of 1974. No one was able to identify what was ailing Ailis, and on July 25, Ailis and Seán agreed to end the search for a cure or diagnosis. The healers had discovered it was not contagious and Ailis was able to spend the remainder of her life with her husband and children. She passed away, peacefully, in her sleep early on August 2, 1974. 

Unfortunately, Sara has no memories of her mother. She wishes she had something beyond the photographs, and that she had a mother to talk to when things got difficult. Sara adored the few stories she remembered her father and grandparents telling her about her mother. 

Faceclaim: Stephanie Zimbalist

Brother: Cian Jacob O’Donnell [1965-2002]

Cian was born on January 18, 1965, making him a little over eight years older than the quadruplets. Upon starting Hogwarts, Cian was sorted into Gryffindor and became involved in the Cursed Vaults. He used them as a crutch to ignore the grief of losing his parents, grandparents, and a close friend. He also used them as an attempt to impress his uncle.

After he was released from the portrait vault, Cian fled from Hogwarts and sunk into hiding. He didn’t know how to handle the mess that he had made and he had an intense desire for acceptance. Cian spends most of his life hiding and generally being a bit of a vagabond. In 2002, Cian fell fatally ill and passed away on December 13, 2002 at age 37. 

Sara doesn’t have much of a relationship with Cian, mostly because he disappeared when she was only eight. She also doesn’t recognize him when he is released from the Vaults at the end of her fifth year. Unfortunately, Sara never gets the chance to try and form a relationship with her eldest brother, as he disappears after the Vaults are finished and she ends up being the one to identify Cian’s body after he passes in 2002. 

Faceclaim: Nick Robinson

Brother: Ryan Michael O’Donnell

Born on August 18, 1973, Ryan is the eldest quadruplet, thirty-six minutes older than Sara, and a Gryffindor. Sara probably has the most distant relationship with Ryan, but they are still close. They were both fairly invested in the Cursed Vaults and have somewhat bonded over that. They are very supportive of one another and they don’t have many arguments, even though they are rather similar in personality. 

Faceclaim: Jaeden Martell

Sister: Cara Rose O’Donnell

Born on August 18, 1973, Cara is the second quadruplet, twenty-one minutes older than Sara, and a Slytherin. Sara is very close to her sister, and they don’t often argue, although their spats can get quite nasty. Sara greatly admires Cara’s artistic talents, as Sara herself can barely draw a house. She is very supportive of her sister and they’re different enough in personality that they complement each other rather well. 

Faceclaim: Sadie Sink

Brother: Conor Lorcan O’Donnell

Born on August 18, 1973, Conor is the youngest quadruplet, twenty-one minutes younger than Sara, and a Ravenclaw. Sara is quite close to her brother and they rarely have spats. Their biggest spats are usually over Sara being protective over him, but those spats are generally pretty rare. Sara is very grateful for the fact that Conor can be very patient when explaining quidditch and other sports to her, even when he’s explaining it for the sixth time. 

Faceclaim: Jack Moore

Grandfather: Lorcan Ryan O’Donnell [deceased, 1905-1979]

Lorcan was born in Donegal Town, Ireland, on January 29, 1905 to Jacob and Mary O’Donnell, joining elder brother, Eoin (1899-1920). For the most part, Lorcan’s early childhood was calm and stable, as he grew up the son of a farmer. However, things changed in his early teen years, as when Lorcan was 14, the Irish War of Independence broke out. His brother insisted on joining the cause and was killed in 1920 at the age of 21, while participating in the raiding of a British supply train. From that point on, Lorcan’s parents forbid the 15-year-old from becoming further involved in the war. Lorcan abided by their wishes, grieving for his older brother, and settled into a world of history that had yet to be adequately told. 

After the war and the partition and at the age of 20, Lorcan traveled to Dublin to spend some time with his bachelor uncle Michael as he studied at a university. A few weeks into his stay, Lorcan met Rose Boyle and started up a friendship with her, which had always had a bit of a romantic tilt. That friendship continued, even when Lorcan returned to Donegal to help his aging parents with the selling of the farm. After the farm had been sold, Lorcan accepted a teaching position in Dublin for a year. He reconnected with Rose and they fell deeper into love. He married Rose in 1927, and they moved back to Donegal in 1936, with their first and only child on the way. They had struggled for some time to conceive, and upon finally conceiving, they decided to move back for the support of Lorcan’s parents as they had also received a small but hefty inheritance from Lorcan’s late uncle. Their only child, Seán Michael O’Donnell, was born on June 30, 1936.

Lorcan adored his son and did his best to raise his son into a good man, which he succeeded in doing. He was surprised to learn that his son was a wizard, but he continued to love and nurture his son, the best he could for a man born in the 1900s. While his son grew and studied, Lorcan spent a lot of time cataloging the history of his hometown and fostering his marriage with Rose. Lorcan’s parents passed away within a three year span, with his father dying in 1947 and his mother in 1950.  He adored them and eagerly welcomed Ailis Lynch into the family when Seán married her in 1962. He was also very excited when his first grandchild, Cian Jacob, was born in 1965, and his excitement quintupled when his quadruplet grandchildren, Ryan Michael, Cara Rose, Sara Ailis, and Conor Lorcan, were born in 1973. He was also incredibly touched to learn that Ryan and Conor were named after him. 

Lorcan adored being a grandfather and could often be found telling one of his grandchildren a long and complicated story, especially when they were babies. To Lorcan, moving in to help his son raise his children after becoming a widower was a no brainer and Lorcan adored doing so, even though he was heartbroken by his daughter-in-law’s 1974 death. It was also a no brainer to raise his grandchildren after his son’s death in 1978, which was shattering and Lorcan knows the only reason he lived through that painful time was because of his grandchildren. Unfortunately, Lorcan’s time with his grandchildren was limited as, in 1979 and only a few months after losing his son, Lorcan caught a fatal case of pneumonia. He passed away at the age of 74, leaving behind a legacy of love for his grandchildren, son, and history.

Sara adored her grandfather, but unfortunately she doesn’t have many memories of him. Most of her clear memories of him are associated with the scent of ink, as Lorcan often had ink stains on his hands. 

Faceclaim: Pierce Brosnan (current)

Grandmother: Rose Marie O’Donnell née Boyle [deceased, 1906-1979]

Born on November 18, 1906 in Dublin, Ireland, Rose was the only child of Patrick and Brigid Boyle. Rose’s childhood was spent in the city of Dublin and she enjoyed her childhood very much. Of course, things changed when the war for independence broke out and her family relocated to live with her aunt, uncle, and cousins in the countryside. Two of her cousins were killed during the war and the war made Rose grow up rather quickly. 

After the war and at the age of 19, Rose moved back to Dublin and she got a job at a bookstore, which allowed her to meet Lorcan O’Donnell. They struck up a friendship, which turned into letters once Lorcan moved back to Donegal. They reconnected, though, once Lorcan moved back to teach for a year. Rose married Lorcan in 1927, and a few years later they moved back to Donegal, as Rose was pregnant with their only child. Her son, Seán Michael, was born on June 30, 1936 and Rose adored her new baby boy. She loved him dearly and was surprised by the fact that he was a wizard. However, it didn’t make her love him any less. After he started at Hogwarts, Rose began a new project, retelling Irish and Celtic myths and legends underneath a pen name when she published. In addition, Rose’s parents also passed away when her son was still a child.

Rose was overjoyed when Ailis Lynch joined the family in 1962. She was also very excited to meet her first grandchild, Cian Jacob when he was born in 1965, and was overjoyed when her quadruplet grandchildren, Ryan Michael, Cara Rose, Sara Ailis, and Conor Lorcan were born in 1973. Rose was very touched to learn that Seán and Ailis had given her name to baby Cara. Rose was also heartbroken when Ailis died in 1974 and immediately agreed to move in to help her son raise his five children. Rose was also heartbroken by the subsequent losses of her son in 1978 and her husband in 1979, but she dedicated her time to her grandchildren. Unfortunately, like her husband, Rose only had a limited amount of time with her grandchildren as she suffered a fatal hemorrhagic stroke a few months after losing her husband. She passed away at the age of 73 and left behind a legacy of love for her grandchildren. 

Sara loved her grandmother dearly, but also doesn’t have many clear memories of her. Small things generally remind Sara of her grandmother, like the blooming of a flower, which inspires Sara to begin gardening. 

Maternal Grandparents: Conor Ryan Lynch [deceased, 1900-1964] and Ciara Mary Lynch née Mallon [dceased, 1900-1964]

Born on March 29, 1900 and sorted into Hufflepuff, Conor was the only son and child of Cillian Lynch and Orla O’Rourke. Conor was pretty much the opposite of his parents and never spent much time around them, but he was still shocked when his father was arrested in 1925. After Hogwarts, Conor became a healer. His youngest grandson was named after him.

Born in 1900 and sorted into Ravenclaw, Ciara is the second child of David and Mary Mallon. Unlike her husband, Ciara was a muggleborn. She was infinitely fascinated by the wizarding world and was eager to learn all she could. After Hogwarts, Ciara became a ministry secretary and bounced around the different departments, sating her infinite curiosity. 

Conor and Ciara married in 1924, after meeting in the ministry. They had two children together, Doyle Brannigan in 1925 and Ailis Ciara in 1936. They both contracted dragon pox and died on the day, hours apart. They never got to meet their grandchildren, which means that Sara never knew her maternal grandparents. 

Uncle: Doyle Brannigan Lynch [1925-1998]

Born on December 13, 1925 and a Slytherin, Doyle was the eldest child of Conor and Ciara Lynch and nearly eleven years older than his younger sister, Ailis. Despite having a kind and loving childhood, Doyle still became quite cold and ruthless. He was a terrifying combination of his grandfather and great-grandfather. No one has any idea how he ended up that way. 

At the age of 40, Doyle inherited the Lynch Manor and 40% of the family fortune upon the deaths of his parents. He was infinitely fascinated by the darkness the manor held and especially of the portrait of his great-grandfather, the abusive Bain Lynch. Doyle also was a bachelor, and was one for his entire life. 

At the age of 54, Doyle received custody of his nieces and nephews, much to his disdain. However, he did see potential in his eldest nephew, Cian. Doyle began to manipulate the boy, taking advantage of the grief-riddled teen’s desperation for approval. In doing so, though, Doyle neglected the quadruplets until Cian was expelled from Hogwarts. Then, he began to launch into tirades, and occasionally got physically violent. A common refrain was calling the quads’ father “your filthy mudblood father.” Doyle died at the age of 73, in 1998. 

Sara never liked her uncle. After the final summer between sixth and seventh year, Sara never returns to her uncle and only returns to Lynch Manor when it is converted to the O’Donnell-Lee Creature Reserve and Rehabilitation Center.

→ Sara first met Barnaby Lee in her second year when she was helping Madam Pomfrey out in the hospital wing, but neither truly knew who the other person was. Therefore, they officially met the following year when Barnaby challenged Sara’s brother, Ryan to a duel. After that, they managed to become quick friends and that slowly began to transition into romantic feelings. This meant that they went to the Celestial Ball together and had a Valentine’s Day date at Madam Puddifoot’s in their fourth year, when neither really knew what dating meant. They remained friends until June of 1989, when the OWL exams had finished. That summer afternoon marked the start of their romantic relationship, when they decided to become a secret couple as they are both worried about ruining their friendship. In November of that same year, though, they became official and none of their friends were surprised. Their relationship remained steady throughout the rest of their time at Hogwarts and persisted beyond. In November 1995, they became engaged and on June 30, 1997, Sara and Barnaby got married in a low-key and tiny ceremony.

Teddy Lupin’s BFF

Faceclaim: Oscar Morgan

Daughter: Theodora Ailis “Dora” O’Donnell-Lee

Hufflepuff | Prefect | Bisexual | b. December 28, 2000

Sara has a pretty good relationship with her older daughter. In many respects, Dora reminds Sara of Barnaby as they both have a shared interest in creatures and Dora is as dedicated as Barnaby is. Sara and Dora do butt heads sometimes, but those tend not to be very often and mainly happened when Dora was between the ages of 13 and 15. Sara loves her daughter dearly. 

Faceclaim: Sophie Nelisse

Son: Declan Ryan O’Donnell-Lee

Slytherin | Seeker | Dyslexic | Heterosexual | b. September 1, 2004

Sara has a pretty good relationship with her eldest son, who she’d describe as an interesting combination of herself, Barnaby, and her brother, Conor. Sara also feels like she struggles to connect with him, though, as they have fairly different interests. However, she loves him dearly and she tries her best to help him. In fact, Sara would say that getting Declan help for his dyslexia early was the best decision she ever made for him. 

Faceclaim: Kit Connor 

Daughter: Violet Cara O’Donnell-Lee

Ravenclaw | Prefect | Headgirl | Chaser | Demisexual | b. May 3, 2006

Sara has a good relationship with Violet. They’re both very similar in personality, and a lot of people describe Violet as a mini-Sara. She’s touched by that comparison, as Sara is very proud of her daughter. They occasionally have a spat, which was mostly concentrated when Violet was between 11 and 13. Sara adores her daughter and is very proud of Violet.

Faceclaim: Sophie Grace

Son: Brendan Conor O’Donnell-Lee

Hufflepuff | Bisexual | b. May 17, 2008

Sara has a good relationship with her youngest son. Brendan seems to be the true combination of Sara’s and Barnaby’s personalities, and Sara adores that. She doesn’t have many arguments with him, and Brendan was very much a momma’s boy when he was little. They’ve always been close, though, and Sara loves her son dearly.

✧ HISTORY & BACKGROUND ✧

Place of Birth: Leighis Hospital for Magical Illnesses and Maladies, Dublin, Ireland

Hometown: County Donegal, Ireland 

Childhood: 

Born at 7:41 pm on August 18, 1973, Sara Ailis O’Donnell was the fourth child and youngest daughter of Seán and Ailis O’Donnell. She joined fellow quadruplets, Ryan Michael (born at 7:04 pm), Cara Rose (born at 7:19 pm), and Conor Lorcan (born at 8:01 pm) as well as older brother, Cian Jacob (then 8). Seán and Ailis were kind and loving parents, who did everything they could for their children, including spending countless hours at Leighis as Sara and her fellow quadruplets were born approximately ten weeks prematurely. Sara herself had weighed only three pounds and two ounces at birth but had no other health issues.

Brought home at three months old, Sara’s first few months at home were stable and loving and happy. Her parents doted on her and her siblings, even though Cian wasn’t quite sure what to make of the quadruplets. Unfortunately, in July, about a month before Sara’s first birthday, her mother fell deathly ill. Healers tried in vain to diagnose her and find a cure, but were ultimately unsuccessful. On July 25, Seán and Ailis agreed to end all attempts to diagnose and cure her. The disease wasn’t contagious, and it wasn’t worth it anymore. On August 2, 1974, in the wee hours of the morning, Ailis Ciara O’Donnell (née Lynch) passed peacefully in her sleep, leaving her husband to raise their five children… mostly alone.

A few months later, in January, 1975, Seán quit his job in the auror office and became a stay-at-home dad. However, that plan was slightly interrupted when Albus Dumbledore offered Seán the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, which Seán eventually accepted but only for a year. After that, Seán officially prioritized his children and raising them to the best of his ability, along with the help of his parents, Lorcan and Rose, who had moved in shortly after Ailis’s death. Unfortunately, in April of 1978, Seán passed away after a fatal car accident.

After the death of her father, Sara and her siblings were primarily raised by their grandparents, who did their best to handle four toddlers and one moody, grief-riddled teenager. It was hard, but both Lorcan and Rose thought it was very rewarding work. Unfortunately, this didn’t last long either as in January of 1979, Lorcan caught pneumonia and that eventually claimed his life. Only a few months later, in May of 1979, Rose suffered a fatal hemorrhagic stroke. 

Thus, Sara and her siblings were placed into the custody of their uncle, Doyle. He was their late mother’s older brother, whom Sara and her siblings had never met. The siblings were also relocated to Lynch Manor, which was a gloomy and loveless place where it seemed to echo with the misery of previous generations. However, Doyle generally ignored his nieces and nephews, especially Sara, Ryan, Cara, and Conor as they were not yet six. Sara rarely ever saw her uncle, which meant that she and her siblings more or less had a free reign over the manor and its grounds. 

However, everything began to change when Sara was eight and her older brother was expelled from Hogwarts. Doyle began to have violent outbursts, especially where his nieces and nephews were concerned. Yet, Doyle rarely ever laid a hand on Sara and her siblings as he preferred to give degrading lectures where he attacked anything that he perceived as a weakness.

Hogwarts Years:

Upon starting Hogwarts, Sara was sorted into Hufflepuff. She quickly acclimated to the house and began forming some lifelong friendships, including Penny Haywood, Rowan Khanna, and Nymphadora Tonks, and introducing them to her siblings. To most people, though, Sara’s close friendship with Tonks was shocking as the two girls were very different, but that didn’t stop their friendship from blossoming. 

For six years, Sara participated in an investigation into the Cursed Vaults alongside her siblings in a search to find out the truth about what happened to their older brother. Sara was never very passionate about the Vaults, but she was compelled to search for them and her older brother. She didn’t hate and could never wish that they didn't happen, as the Vaults let her make friends and led her to the love of her life. However, once the Vaults were done at the end of her sixth year, Sara breathed a sigh of relief that they no longer had to dominate her life and that no one else would need to be hurt in the search, as a few months prior Rohan Khanna had been murdered.

After finishing the Vaults in her sixth year, Sara devoted her seventh year to her prefect duties, her job as an assistant in the hospital wing, and her burgeoning relationship with Barnaby Lee, which had begun at the end of their fifth year. She also began to finalize her plans to become a healer by securing an apprenticeship in Leighis Hospital in Dublin. 

Adulthood:

Upon graduating from Hogwarts, Sara began her healer apprenticeship and shared a flat in Dublin with her brother, Conor, and her boyfriend whenever Barnaby was able to get away from his magiozoologist apprenticeship. Sara enjoyed her apprenticeship, learning so much and she stayed at Leighis until 1995, when she was transferred to St. Mungo’s in London.

In London, Sara officially moved in with Barnaby. They shared a small flat above a bookstore in Diagon Alley, and on the anniversary of their first official date in November 1995, Barnaby proposed and Sara eagerly accepted. They began slowly planning their wedding, and decided that they would have a longer engagement of about two years.

However, their plans changed when the second wizarding war broke out. Sara, alongside Barnaby and her siblings, had joined the Order of the Phoenix in 1995 when Voldemort first returned. They still kept a two-year engagement, but as things became bleaker by the day, Sara and Barnaby made the quick decision to get married in secret. Sara married Barnaby on June 30, 1997 which ended up being the day that Albus Dumbledore died and spurred the war into full speed. Sara and Barnaby had a simple honeymoon in hiding while running a safe house in Yorkshire, England. They were a temporary refuge for anyone with minor to moderate injuries, whether they were victims of snatchers or death eaters. Alongside her husband and siblings, Sara joined the fight at the Battle of Hogwarts but remained in the background as she attempted to heal those that were wounded during the fighting.

A few months after the war ended, Sara discovered that she was pregnant and was overjoyed, as was Barnaby when she broke the news. She had started working for Leighis again, and was quite content. Her daughter, Theodora Ailis “Dora” O’Donnell-Lee was born on June 6, 1999 and was named after Sara’s late friend, Nymphadora Tonks, and after Sara’s late mother. Sara and Barnaby had three more children: Declan Ryan, who was born on September 1, 2001, Violet Cara, who was born on May 3, 2003, and Brendan Conor, who was born on May 17, 2006.

In 2003, Sara and her siblings inherited Lynch Manor. None of the siblings wanted to move in to the manor or sell, so they decided to convert it into a reserve and rehab center for magical creatures that would be run by Barnaby and Liz Tuttle. The O’Donnell-Lee Creature Reserve and Rehabilitation Center opened in 2005, and that was when Sara and her family moved into a small cottage which had been constructed for the O’Donnell-Lees to live in. 

Old Age:

Sara retired at the age of 90 and devoted the rest of her life to her hobbies and grandchildren. She enjoyed retirement and cultivated a wonderful flower and vegetable garden, filled with both magical and muggle plants. She and Barnaby even did some traveling around Europe and the United States. She remained close to her siblings and mourned familial passings. 

Death: 

Sara passed away, in her sleep, at the age of 116 and approximately three months later, Barnaby would pass in his sleep. Sara had lived a long and fulfilled life and she left behind four children, eight grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren.

Trivia:

Sara knows nothing about sports and is easily confused by all the rules. With quidditch, Sara also never knows which team to support as she’s a Hufflepuff and her siblings, who all play, are in the other three houses. As an adult, though, she supports the Ballycastle Bats as that is the team that her son, Declan, plays for.

Sara is a mom friend. She is the reason that Tonks didn’t kill herself while doing something reckless. 

Sara is Teddy Lupin’s godmother, but never really interferes with what Harry and the Weasleys are doing with him. She’s just another support system for the young boy, one who was in a somewhat similar situation.

Sara’s middle name is after her mother, Ailis Lynch.

Sara’s claddagh ring belonged to her mother, and she absolutely adores it and the story behind it. Her father gave the ring to her mother for their first Christmas as a married couple and he had bought it in Galway, where the ring is originally from.

Sara’s mental state remained unaffected by the trauma of her life because of the love magic that dispersed when her parents died. That love magic managed to protect Sara’s, Ryan’s, Cara’s, and Conor’s minds from the worst of their trauma.

When Ailis O’Donnell died, an ancient protection magic wove itself into her five children. While it didn’t do all that much for her eldest son, who was nine at the time, it did provide much protection to her younger four children, aged eleven months. Its power wasn’t based on who was loved more. No, this magic’s power was influenced more by the children’s ages than anything else, really. Her eldest, at nine, never managed to recover from the grief and over the next seven years, her son’s destructive grief overpowered the magic. Her younger four, being much younger, had no memory of Ailis and so, the grief they held was different, less oppressive than her eldest son’s. Thus, it was able to be strengthened over time as it fed on the love and bond that always held steadfast for the quadruplets.

Sara is the great-granddaughter of Cillian Lynch and Orla O’Rourke.

Parents: Seán Michael O’Donnell [deceased, 1936-1978] and Ailis Ciara O’Donnell née Lynch [deceased, 1936-1974]

Both former Ravenclaws, Seán O’Donnell and Ailis Lynch were married on May 29, 1962. Ailis had recently turned twenty-six, while Seán was a few weeks shy of his twenty-sixth birthday. They loved each other dearly, and had their first child, Cian, in early 1965. It took eight years for them to have another child and in summer 1973, Seán and Ailis had quadruplets, Ryan, Cara, Sara, and Conor. Ailis died a year later. Four years after Ailis died, Seán died as well.

Cian had always been closer to his mother, so her death hit him very hard. He never quite recovered from losing her, so the subsequent losses of his father, grandparents, and love interest hit him very hard.

Faceclaims: Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist

Siblings: Ryan Michael O’Donnell ; Cara Rose O’Donnell ; Sara Ailis O’Donnell ; Conor Lorcan O’Donnell 

Born on August 18, 1973, Ryan, Cara, Sara, and Conor are eight years younger than Cian and are quadruplets. Starting Hogwarts in 1984, the quads were each sorted into a different house with Ryan in Gryffindor, Cara in Slytherin, Sara in Hufflepuff, and Conor in Ravenclaw. They also began investigating the Cursed Vaults, just as Cian had.

Cian never had a close relationship with Ryan, Cara, Sara, and Conor for multiple reasons. There was the eight year age gap, which meant that Cian often wasn’t interested in hanging out with little kids and he never wanted to do much with them as babies either. There was the strong bond the younger four O’Donnell siblings had. This was probably the biggest reason and Cian held a bit of resentment towards this close bond. He often felt like they didn’t need, or care, about him.

Ciara Mary Lynch née Mallon [deceased, 1900-1964]

Uncle: Doyle Brannigan Lynch [deceased, 1925-1998]

After the deaths of his paternal grandparents, Cian and his siblings were placed in the custody of their mother’s older brother, Doyle, who was born on December 13, 1925. A cold and calculating man, Doyle instantly noticed the weakness in his eldest nephew. He exploited that weakness, playing into the boy’s grief and manipulating Cian into doing his bidding. 

Cian hero worshiped his uncle a lot during his time at Hogwarts. He thought that Doyle could do no wrong and grew blind to the things that Doyle was doing to him and his siblings. That hero worship diminished during his time in the portrait vault, but he was never able to look beyond the lies that Doyle had installed in him.

Cian first began crushing on Duncan in his fifth year. They had been best friends since meeting on the Hogwarts Express and Cian had always known that he felt something different for Duncan. Over the course of the year, his crush on Duncan only grew and eventually, Cian realized that he was in love with Duncan. However, Cian never managed to get the courage to ask Duncan out and just as he had begun planning to ask Duncan on a date, Duncan was killed. 

Duncan’s death was the final straw for Cian. He threw himself into the Cursed Vaults, neglecting his other friendships, classes, and everything else. He had no time for anything else and grief sunk its claws deeper into him.

✧ HISTORY & BACKGROUND ✧

Hometown: County Donegal, Ireland 

Pre-Hogwarts Childhood: 

Cian Jacob O’Donnell was born on January 18, 1965 to Seán and Ailis O’Donnell in Dublin, Ireland. The first eight years of his life were stable and full of love. That began to change when his mother announced that she was pregnant… with the quadruplets.

Cian’s baby siblings, Ryan Michael, Cara Rose, Sara Ailis, and Conor Lorcan were born prematurely on August 18, 1973. His life did a complete 180 and Cian could never quite figure out if it was a good thing or a bad thing. He knew how much his parents had wanted another child. But years later, knowing their fates, Cian couldn’t help but wonder if the quadruplets were just a catalyst for what came after.

A little less than one year later, Ailis fell seriously, and mysteriously, ill. No one was able to identify a cause or a cure and Ailis O’Donnell passed, peacefully, on August 2, 1974. Cian was heartbroken and never really recovered from losing her.

The next two years passed in a blur, as his father adapted to being a single father of five. Cian’s paternal grandparents moved in and provided a lot of assistance. There wasn’t enough time, or caring adults, to adequately notice how grief was sinking its claws into the boy, though.

Hogwarts Years:

In 1976, Cian began attending Hogwarts. He was quickly sorted into Gryffindor, although the hat did consider Slytherin for a moment. Hogwarts seemed to do some good for the boy… until news came in April of 1978 that Seán had been killed in an automobile wreck. Cian sunk inwards on himself, lashing out and then the Cursed Vaults fell into his lap.

The Vaults distracted him from the grief of three successive losses in less than eighteen months and Cian quickly became obsessed with them. The obsession coupled with the intensifying grief and loneliness made Cian an easy target for his manipulative uncle, Doyle Lynch as Cian and his siblings had been placed in Doyle’s custody following the deaths of their father and grandparents.

The tipping point, though, came when Cian was sixteen when his best friend, and crush, Duncan Ashe was killed. Unable to cope in a healthy way, Cian threw himself even deeper into the Cursed Vaults. It ultimately led up to Cian’s expulsion and entrapment in the Portrait Vault.

Adulthood:

For eight long years, Cian was trapped in the Vault, his mind slowly warping with an intense grief and guilt. Then, in June of 1989, Cian was released from the Portrait Vault by his younger siblings. He was unable to recognize them, as they’d grown so much bigger than the eight-year-olds Cian remembered.

He fled from Hogwarts, and sunk into hiding, unsure of how to cope with the burden on his chest and an intense desire for acceptance.

When the second war began, Cian’s yearning for acceptance had grown stronger. He’d never felt fully accepted by his siblings, the four sharing a bond that was too much for him to feel involved. This resulted in Cian feigning an alliance with the Death Eaters for about ten weeks. He never became a death eater or even subscribed to their ideology, though. His grandparents had been muggles and Cian had always held them in the highest of esteem, along with his own parents. Eventually, in December of 1997, Cian fled once again, deserting the war.

He worked on and off for the remaining years of his life, working odd jobs for anyone who would spare some money.

Old Age & Death: 

In 2002, desolate and miserable, Cian fell fatally ill. He died, penniless, alone, and nearly unrecognizable, in the ward of magical bugs at Leighis Hospital in Dublin. His body was identified by his sister, Sara, a healer who had never discovered that her oldest brother was a patient in her hospital until he had already passed.

He was laid to rest next to his parents and grandparents. His headstone reads: A man who never recovered from the loss life dealt him. Here lies Cian Jacob O’Donnell. January 18, 1965–December 13, 2002. Brother, son, friend.

✧ MISCELLANEOUS ✧

Trivia:

Cian physically aged in the portrait vault and kept his hair long, even after he was released.

As mentioned, Cian was almost a hatstall between Gryffindor and Slytherin. He was sorted into Gryffindor in about four minutes and fifty-five seconds, thus making him just under a hatstall.

Cian doesn’t really like the person that he has become. He’s very conflicted about himself in general, though.

Cian never knew what career that he wanted to pursue. He was focused on the Vaults and on gaining his uncle’s approval and also R’s approval. He eventually settled on being either an auror or curse-breaker. However, once he’s freed from the Vaults, he doesn’t pursue any career. He just kinda traveled everywhere after, aimlessly wandering.

Cian can be a bit spineless and has a desire to gain people’s approval, which makes him do stupid things. 

Cian is the great-grandson of Cillian Lynch and Orla O’Rourke. Their son, Conor Ryan, is Cian’s maternal grandfather, although Conor passed away before Cian was born.

When Ailis O’Donnell died, an ancient protection magic wove itself into her five children. While it didn’t do all that much for her eldest son, who was nine at the time, it did provide much protection to her younger four children, aged eleven months. Its power wasn’t based on who was loved more. No, this magic’s power was influenced more by the children’s ages than anything else, really. Her eldest, at nine, never managed to recover from the grief and over the next seven years, her son’s destructive grief overpowered the magic. Her younger four, being much younger, had no memory of Ailis and so, the grief they held was different, less oppressive than her eldest son’s. Thus, it was able to be strengthened over time as it fed on the love and bond that always held steadfast for the quadruplets.

Cian is a bit of a foil for my other iteration of the Jacob character, Sawyer Fitzgerald.

Character Spotlights: The Lynch-O’Donnell Family

Day 4: Character Spotlight for @kathrynalicemc’s Lineage Challenge

→ The eldest son of Bain and Clodagh Lynch, Cillian Cathal Lynch led a complicated life. Nothing he did, whether it was voicing strong disdain for muggles and muggleborns or fiercely dueling his twin brother, was good enough for his father, who died when he was twelve. In the canon timeline, he was arrested for the murder of his twin brother. However, Cillian maintained his innocence until his death, alleging that he wasn’t the one who cast the fatal curse.

→ The marriage of Seán Michael O’Donnell and Ailis Ciara Lynch in 1962 united the O’Donnell and Lynch families into one. They had both been in Ravenclaw during their time at Hogwarts, but had only ever been acquaintances. That changed when they met again in Diagon Alley. Ailis was a healer, while Seán was an auror. Together they had five children. Sadly, they were never able to grow old together. Ailis fell fatally ill shortly before their quadruplets’ first birthday. Seán never took off his wedding band and even spent a year as Hogwarts’s Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, before his own death in 1978.

→ The eldest son of Seán and Ailis, Cian Jacob O’Donnell never recovered from the grief of losing his parents, grandparents, and love interest. The grief left him vulnerable to the manipulation of his uncle and the lure of the Cursed Vaults. After his release from the Vaults, Cian disappeared and his four younger siblings wouldn’t see him again until his death in December of 2002.

→ Declan Ryan O’Donnell-Lee loved his family dearly. But being the son of a world renowned magiozoologist and one of the famous Hogwarts cursebreakers wasn’t always easy. It didn’t seem that way to most people, but once he started at Hogwarts, Declan began to feel like he didn’t matter. It seemed like the only thing that people found interesting about him was his surname and familial connections. It didn’t seem to matter that he was exceptionally talented on the quidditch pitch. No one ever seemed to remember his first name.

Happy FFWF!! How did the O'Donnell ladies (both born into the family and married into it) deal with pregnancy? Did they come to terms with the changes in the body quickly or needed time to adjust? Were they scared of childbirth? Did they have their mothers/female figures with them all along?

— Neither Cara nor Rowan were ever pregnant. Instead, they chose to adopt their daughter.

— Penny handled her second pregnancy better than her first. It took her a long time to become comfortable with the changes in her body that first time. She was generally uncomfortable and had rather a lot of morning sickness. Thankfully, her second pregnancy was very different and she was much more comfortable. Penny wasn’t scared of childbirth. Ryan was the one who freaked out about it. She was concerned about it, but was pretty chill with the whole thing. Penny’s mother, Susan, was a big help throughout her pregnancies. She didn’t have her mother around throughout the duration, but when she got scared, she knew she could turn to her mother.

— Sara handled pregnancy quite gracefully. She didn’t love it, but she didn’t hate it either and was pregnant four separate times. It took her a few weeks to come to terms with her body’s changes during her first pregnancy, but her husband’s unwavering love and support helped her come to terms with it. Her first and third pregnancies were quite easy, while her second one was a bit more difficult and her fourth was very difficult. She handled all four with grace, though. The only times that Sara was scared of childbirth was with her first and fourth children. She was scared with her first pregnancy as she had never done it before and had made the mistake of listening to horror stories. Her fourth pregnancy was just more difficult and that made everything more stressful. Sara did not have her mother with her as her mother passed away when Sara was a baby. However, her sister, sisters-in-law, and friends were all there for her to lean on.

— Ruth had mixed feelings about pregnancy. She didn’t love it, but it wasn’t her least favorite thing. She came to terms with her changing body pretty quickly, but her second pregnancy was a bit more difficult as she was having twins. That second pregnancy was the one where she was scared of childbirth. She knew that her husband, as a quadruplet, had been born prematurely and that stressed her about their twins. Ruth’s relationship with her mother is very rocky and her paternal grandmother served as the main mother figure in her life. However, her grandmother passed away shortly before her first child was born and Ruth swore to name her first daughter after her grandmother.

— Ailis O’Donnell didn’t mind pregnancy. She got pregnant easily the first time and that was a smooth pregnancy. However, her parents did pass away shortly before she gave birth to their eldest grandson, so that was quite stressful for her. The quads’ pregnancy was much more stressful. Aside from having quadruplets, she was on the older side and it occurred years after her eldest son. Ailis was really only scared of childbirth with the quads. They came early, because you know quadruplets, and that was stressful for Ailis and her husband. For the quads, she didn’t have her mother with her. However, her mother-in-law, Rose was quite helpful and Ailis had always adored her husband’s mother.
