Background:
Rhiannon is Rosella's twin sister, and Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange's other daughter. Byron Whalen, the Healer who delivered Rhiannon and Rosella, was disgusted that the Lestranges were having children, being the avid hater of all things Dark Arts that he is. So when Rosella was born, he immediately passed her off to Rodolphus to distract him. When Rhiannon was born 15 minutes later, he put a spell on her to slow her breathing and cease her crying and told the Lestranges she had died. (The spell actually puts one into a state where heartbeat and consciousness are undetectable. It mimics the effects of the potion the Draught of the Living Dead.)
He then passed her off to his sister, a Healer named Claire Mitchell, who took the baby home, where she lifted the spell, and she and her husband raised the child as their own. Unfortunately, this didn't work out exactly as the Mitchells had planned. Rhiannon apparently had evil burned into her, as would soon be made obvious. Her adopted parents sent her to away to an American magic school to eliminate any chance that she and her family members would ever find one another.
While at the Salem school, although Rhiannon is bright and studious and enjoys learning, she was trouble, in that she possesses a very strong penchant for bullying, for which she was reprimanded several times.
Rhiannon loves to read. Unfortunately, history is something that fascinates her. One day, while searching the library, she discovered books about European wizarding history—books that went into great detail about the reigns of terror of Gellert Grindelwald in the 1940s and of Lord Voldemort in the 1970s and early 1980s. Learning of those events piqued Rhiannon’s interest in Dark Magic and in the persecution of Muggles, Squibs, and half-blooded wizards. She found herself supporting both—avidly. Her fascination with those two infamous Dark wizards made her want to learn more about Dark Magic. Through a couple pureblood peers, she got a hold of books on the subject—and it was thrilling to her. She aims to master not only normal, everyday magic—but Dark Magic, as well. Rhiannon was expelled at the start of her third year for trying to duel another student. Her parents were left with no choice but to send her to Hogwarts. They assumed because they had kept her away, no one would notice her resemblance to her real family. But the night before she left for Hogwarts, Rhiannon and her parents got into a huge fight. Her father called her a disgrace to the family and accidentally blurted out that she was adopted. Rhiannon was amazed and asked why she was never told and demanded to know who her real parents were. The Mitchells informed her they knew perfectly well who her birth family was but had no intention of telling her. All they would say was that they were Death Eaters, and it was clear that Rhiannon was just like them, despite the Muggle and non-pureblood embracing values she'd been raised with. Her father disowned her and told her he hoped that her real family would take her in because the Mitchells didn't want her anymore. Now, completely on her own, Rhiannon is at a new school, trying to make a fresh start...
