Family ---

--- Quint Laurel [father--59]
--- Reagan Laurel [mother--52]
--- Devon Laurel [elder brother--27]
--- Simon Johnsten [ex-fiance--24]

Quint & Reagan --- Quint and Reagan are the type to be big into their jobs and probably would have never married if they hadn't met each other through work. After rising through the ministry, they both hold positions of power in the Wizengamot and are both fiercely pureblooded Slytherins.[x]

Devon --- Though Devon has a job, no one really knows what he does. All that's known about him is that he and a group of other wizards from school constantly move around the globe, and whenever he comes home he's laden down with interesting trinkets. His parents figure he's some sort of archeologist considering he took Ancient runes every year he could. [x]

Simon --- Simon went to hogwarts around the time that Devon and Sierra did, but wasn't known to hang out with them. After he graduated, he became an auror and a ram animagus, usually known as the risk-taker, even though he was engaged. He later died of natural causes.[x]

History ---

--- Sierra grew up to an extremely structured life, raised with a goal for her to live one life. She was to be successful, and powerful. This was the only acceptable way to carry on the good Laurel name. Being the second child, by the time she was born, Devon was already well on his way to being an extremely spoiled brat. Perhaps it was his extreme sense of possibility that was lucky to Sierra. She wasn't always the one with the most attention fawned on her, she was simply expected to behave and act like a well-mannered girl for her parents very important friends.

--- And this is precisely how she acted, the picture of politeness but never seen as better than her brother, the boy with the most adorable set of dimples. Sierra had no aspirations to surpass her brother, and she simply went to Hogwarts as soon as she was eleven. Her brother was already a fourth year, and it did not take long for her to figure out that in school he was not as cool and suave as everyone thought he was. He was basically a nerdy reject, hanging out with a select number of friends -- of which, she duly noted that one was a Ravenclaw -- and was not one for socializing with the other Slytherins. It was at this time that Sierra began to surpass her brother, socially, a crime that was never to be mentioned at home. Her friends became children of stronger parents than his and her bonds almost seemed to have a strategical purpose. If so, it were a grievous fault, and grievously hath Sierra answered it.

--- The discovery of her supposedly frivolous actions would come in the form of a complement from one of her mother's co-workers. The old woman would smile and say that her daughter was quite lovely for accompanying her son through school, and Reagan would smile and take it as a complement politely. But as soon as Sierra's third year term would be over, she would be scolded for making friends with people that she 'wasn't aloud to' and be told to introduce her friends to her brother. It was around this time that Sierra realized her parents were absolutely off their rockers and power hungry, and made one of her first independent decisions -- to directly disobey her parents. She would not put a damper on the reputations of her friends by associating them with her somewhat lame brother, and she herself could not save herself from the power of genetics, but she could avoid him like the plague.

--- The rest of her Hogwarts career could be described as very independent. She spent little time in the same room as her family when she was home on holiday and much time out with friends, even against their wishes. Sierra was known to run away a couple times before she finally moved out when she came of age. She owned a small apartment in London, and didn't need any more space than this. Occasionally she'd have a roommate, just a friend who needed someplace to live and she had room for them. Eventually she met a man named Simon when he was passing through on his job and she was working as a nurse in St. Mungos. He was just in to have his leg healed from what he described to be a 'freak troll accident', but she always figured that to be some sort of joke that he spun into him hitting on her. Eventually after a few more 'freak accidents', and a few of which didn't even involve an injury', Sierra agreed to go on a date with the man. Which lead to her going on a few more dates with the man. Which then, in turn, lead to a ring being put on her finger.

--- His parents never really liked her, always judging her by her appearance and referring to her as the 'skinny brat' even though she clearly didn't act like that. They didn't trust Slytherins, as their family had very deep Ravenclaw roots. The Johnsten family made no effort to break up the couple, even if they would have preferred for Simon to spend his last years with someone they considered to be a little less trashy. They knew for a long time that he had a terminal illness, and was never expected to reach the age of 30, but never told anyone about it. If he wished people do know, they figured that he would tell them. Only, who knew that they wouldn't tell the woman who thought they were meant to be together forever.

--- Simon's passing was peaceful, for him, though she wasn't too keen on him passing in his sleep with her in the bed with him. His funeral was quick, and it involved her being there with a couple of close friends while his parents glared at her as if she were the cause of this grief. The small apartment in London was no longer a place she could spend her time in and she needed to move away. Quitting her job as a nurse irrationally, she let her life fall apart for a while until one of her friends forcibly pulled it back together. During her stages of grief, Sierra took up making cake to pass the time, and before she knew it, her fridge was full of nearly a dozen cakes. This inspired Lorelai, who seemed to now know the perfect way to help her friend. They planned to invest together in a bakery business, now all they needed was a location without painful memories. Going back to the basics, they settled in Hogsmeade together, eventually naming their establishment Tempest Treats.

lorelaisays;; Hm? Sierra Laurel? That’s not her name, foolish person. She’s Seahorse, honestly. Anyway, that chick and I own a bakery—insert plug for Tempest Treats here—and she’s an interesting person to live with. No not in that way, perverts. We knew each other back in school, same clique and all that. I guess we grew closer in our later years of school. Then we both left and I didn’t see her for a while. It was so easy to fall back in step when we met up again, I guess I’m glad I happened to stumble upon Sierra, versus anyone else. We’re alike in a lot of ways, and maybe that’s why we tend to get in fights a lot…Well anyway, to wrap this up, Sierra is a pretty bitchin’ person and if you mess with her I’ll bite off your head.
sierrasays;; Ew, Lorelai. Don't even say that name with me in the room. That girl is just way too.. awesome. Thought I was going a different way, didn't you? We haven't talked in a while, and I guess we both just kind of.. came together and picked each other up by shoving frosting in each other's faces and demanding that the other not be sad. Which means that we do own the snake bakery. We were friends in Hogwarts, so why not now? We're both pretty blunt and we both argue a lot but, it's probably just because we both are too damn stubborn for our own good and that's just not going to change. So, watch out.
