THE CHARACTER
HISTORY:
Antonia Rennick, Scottish granddaughter of a known Death Eater, never thought that she would one day end up imprisoned in Azkaban like her late grandfather after the second wizarding war. She had worked hard to distance herself from everything her grandfather stood for, and became well liked for her kindness and compassion and known as the woman who breathed new life into Honeydukes. She was the 'Candy Lady', but a series of unfortunate events led her down a path that turned her into the coward who kept her mouth shut.
And it all started with her little sister Natalie...
Natalie, Antonia's then 15 year old sister (12 years younger than Tonia), was home from school for the summer and had gone to London with a friend to do some shopping. They ventured into muggle London, lost track of time and afternoon turned into evening. When they stopped at a gas station to buy some snacks for the trip home, they found themselves in the middle of an armed robbery. Natalie and her friend were caught in the crossfire, and Natalie was badly hurt. Neither Natalie nor her friend were of age so they didn't have their wands on them, nor had they learned to apparate yet (and were not allowed to do magic in front of muggles) so her friend could not contact Natalie's family immediately. Natalie was taken to a muggle hospital and was on the brink of death until her family showed up and had her transferred to St Mungos. She was in a coma for a long time and the recovery was slow and painful. Antonia was devastated. Anger started brewing in her heart towards the muggles that hurt her sister and the magical restrictions that left the girls powerless.
After that things became problematic, because Antonia was dating a muggleborn man at the time who had a daughter from a previous relationship and they were Antonia's world. Antonia's growing dislike of muggles caused a rift between them, their relationship survived 8 more months before coming to an end.
Angry and heartbroken, Antonia tried her best to find some semblance of normalcy again, Natalie's slow but steady improvement giving her a sliver of hope. But Antonia now aged 28 and not completely over her breakup with her ex-boyfriend met a man with a silver tongue at the Hog's Head one drunken night who sympathized with her and validated her feelings. All too late did she realize that he was dangerous and had strong Death Eater sympathies, but by that time they were already engaged. Antonia was afraid of what would happen to her if she were to leave him, and she couldn't deny that she still had feelings for him, so she stayed.
One day Antonia overheard her fiancé in a floo-call with his associates plotting what sounded like a big attack on muggles. Antonia couldn't believe what she was hearing. Surely he wasn't being serious? She decided that it must have only been a hypothetical but deep down she felt that it may very well be true. Instead of confronting him, Antonia put her head down and went about her day, not wanting to stir up trouble.
A week later he and his associates caused a bridge to collapse, sending a large number of muggles trapped in their cars plummeting to their death.
When Antonia's fiancé and his associates were caught by the aurors, she was arrested as well despite not being involved. Her fiancé wanted her locked up with him so he had given them her name, and with a Death Eater as a grandfather the odds were not in her favor. But Antonia knew she deserved it — she could have prevented everything and didn't because she had been scared of losing what she had (losing her ex and his daughter had been painful and she did not want to go through that again) and afraid of what her fiancé and his friends would have done to her if she had talked.
She was released from Azkaban after a year for good behavior, aged 33, but she is now a disgraced woman‚ despite her hate for muggles having subsided when Natalie made a full recovery and her determination to make up for her inaction.
Starting over won't be easy.
PERSONALITY:
Antonia is a friendly woman who is easy to get along with. Both introverted and extroverted at the same time, she might find herself craving attention or solitude depending on her mood. She's not a big fan of conflict so she tends to avoid it, but when she finds herself in one, she's careful about not playing all her cards. Antonia is very in touch with her emotions and might seem like she wears her heart on her sleeve, but she's careful about not showing things she doesn't want people to know. People might also find her honesty insensitive, though she tries to give her honest opinion gently. That doesn't always succeed though so she might be disliked by people whose feelings she hurt unintentionally.
Loyalty is important to her, but her moral compass doesn't allow her to follow people blindly. Not anymore.
Antonia is easy to make friends with. She's friendly and can be quite fun, but sometimes she needs space and can go a while without contacting her friends or responding to messages.
Her breakup with her ex and later with her ex-fiancé have left her a bit jaded, but while she is not actively looking for love it may still find her. She just needs to be in a good enough place to welcome it when that happens.
