To grow into the most magnificent plant, one needs to plant their roots in solid ground. To keep from going wild and overgrown, vines must wrap themselves around a rock.
Regulus Black was Ivy Walker's solid ground that allowed her to grow into her...
The Walker family line had been cursed since the first Walker landed in Ireland in the early 1800's. Gregory Walker had tried cutting down a Dryad in hopes of starting a home. In turn, the Dryad cursed his family line 'til the end of time. Every member of the family for centuries to come would be overcome by anxiety, discomfort and panic for the rest of their lives. On top of that, every first born of the line would be cursed to endure the responsibility of protecting and communicating with nature surrounding them. If they failed to listen to the plants or protect them, the plants would grow vengeful and drive the cursed person to their insanity.
Ivy Walker was the first born in a new family line of Walker's. Her father feared for his daughters inevitable lapse of sanity. Bradly Walker watched what the curse could do, first hand, as his older brother tried to ignore his responsibility. It led the eldest Walker to insanity. After a horrible accident caused by this insanity, putting the Wizarding world at risk of exposure, the eldest Walker was locked in an Asylum before he ended his life at only 26.
But Ivy didn't seem to grow insane. By the time she reached eleven, she only appeared to be happy — aside from her constant panic attacks and paranoia. But all the Walker's struggled with that.
Bradly would hear her talking and giggling to herself, caring for the plants around the house and growing a whole garden for miles in their backyard within a few seconds. But she wasn't hysterical or delusion like his brother was. She had her moments — tantrums at age five that had the Walker's dodging thorns. That anger was something that continued as Ivy aged forcing her to work through ways to control the anger.
But all in all - Ivy Walker didn't see her powers as a curse, but as a gift.
The plants were warm and welcoming and kind. They were also very funny. Flowers sprouted in her auburn hair, whispering to her daily.
She considered them her friends. And in a world full of darkness and destruction, Bradly and Merida Walker found their daughters talents to be a blessing as well. The world needed more creation and less destruction — especially with the rise of a certain dark wizard...
