(TW: suicide)
AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF TEN, AVA was faced with a tragedy that no child should ever have to deal with: the death of her mother. Some would say their relationship was perfect; Avaleigh never felt like she had to lie or keep secrets from her mother, and her mother was open and non-judgemental. So when she died on a typical Thursday morning after committing suicide, Ava fell into the deepest depths of depression, and it was near impossible to pull her out. After this, her family, one by one, began to fall apart while Ava stood there, still waiting for a sign from her mother. That is why she took up tarot reading and spiritual communication in hopes that she would one day hear from her mother . . . but that day never came.
Her older sister was the first to leave, fleeing the country to America ━ 'the land of the free', she would repeat non-stop before she left. Avaleigh thought she was a coward for leaving their family when they needed her the most, but she would never dare utter that thought aloud. Next was her father, who stopped communicating or doing anything when the death of his beloved wife finally hit him. At first he had held it together, and then it was like he suddenly switched off and just sat there in his wife's armchair, only ever moving to eat the soup his daughter prepared for him; anything else was too solid. This meant that there was no source of income, so her grandma that now never showed up anymore wired money into Ava's bank monthly to cover up her guilt for no longer visiting.
All of this left Avaleigh as her sole carer at the age of eleven, which meant that she didn't do a very good job at caring for herself. The poor girl had to learn how to cook, clean, and also manage other adult responsibilities that she had no fucking clue about. That is why when she received a Hogwarts acceptance letter after her grandmother, unbeknownst to her, had applied for her, she jumped on the opportunity to not have to look after herself any more. As much as she loved and adored her father, it was time to put herself first━or so she thought.
