Emerald; a precious jewel, rarer and often more expensive than the ever-coveted diamonds. The color of a pure emerald represents wealth, harmony, and safety—three principles her family lives by. Her name signifies the De Lisles' loyalty to their house, as generations of their family have been strictly sorted into Hogwarts' house Slytherin.

Emerald's doljanchi (korean first birthday celebration). For her doljabi, her parents laid out several artefacts—the first snitch her father caught on his first season as a seeker at Hogwarts, a wiggenweld potion, a bag filled with dittany leaves, a "History of Magic" book, her mother's Ministry of Magic badge, and a miniature training dummy. At first, she walked towards the glowing wiggenweld potion, but made a last-minute turn towards the training dummy, suggesting a future as an Auror, much to her father's displeasure.

It was the flutter of her heart that made her wonder. That made her rethink all these years, the times she shut out the possibility of finding a bliss that was different than the rest. A contentment that was so pure, yet so comfortable despite how overwhelming it felt in her body, it being foreign and unfamiliar compared to what she had experienced before. Emerald, in her grim and unimpressed demeanor, had experienced bouts of mirth here and there with people she shared laughter and even the smallest hint of a smile with. No, the concept of happiness was not foreign to her, she had a taste of it several times, but never had quite enough that it felt like this. Because she had shut out the world that was filled with light and dwelled in the shadows because she was too focused on her misery, the bitterness that aged her and whittled her morale to the point of no repair. It was her own doing, she knew, she was the only one who made her feel as empty as she did before. But Kaladin, with the smiles and words that left his saccharine lips, had done exactly that, repaired her spirit while reintroducing color in her life, so vibrant that she wasn’t sure if she had seen colors this vivid before.

Young Verteris' rise to fame as the star seeker of the Montrose Magpies gave the De Lisle family the prestige of becoming a household name. But while people spoke about the player in awe, Emerald could not care less about her father's reputation. Rather, she had always found it to be more of an inconvenience than a privilege, when fellow classmates would try to befriend her to get a taste of popularity.

•  legilimency

Her first encounter of legilimency occurred in her first year at Hogwarts, when she came across a girl whose heartbreak was so apparent, it was almost palpable. Emerald did not understand what it was until she came across a book in her leisure that spoke in depth about the gift.

•  hair

Members of the De Lisle family have notably dark-brown hair, which, curiously, she does not share. Naturally, her hair is silver-blonde, a trait assumed to be genealogically recessive on her father's side.

She keeps this part of her hidden with a transfiguration charm, crinus muto, which covers her starlight strands with the same, dark color that dons her parents' heads.

The natural texture of her hair is curly. She finds this rather inconvenient to deal with from day to day, so she prefers to wear it in long waves, the longest strands hanging down to her waist.

At this time, only three people know of her natural hair color, other than the members of her family.

Emerald knew her parents did not love one another when she stumbled into her father's office one Christmas morning. She had overheard them fighting. She had never heard them fight. When she looked in their eyes, for some reason, she knew that there was hatred in their hearts. And little Emerald figured out too young that her family was not quite as perfect as she thought it was.

# data[].attributes.body
Emerald received her first Hogwarts letter shortly after her magic started manifesting.

# data[].attributes.body
The second time Emerald's... gift manifested was when she caught a girl—no one she knew personally, really—crying in the corridor by the grand staircase. She had reached out and offered a shoulder for the girl to cry on, but the latter turned away. But even when Emerald could not see her eyes, she understood exactly how she felt. Although, not in the way most people understood. Rather, Emerald experienced this poor girl's emotions through what she would describe to be like a movie—images of vivid pictures and hues, as if she were reliving the moment this girl experienced heartbreak. As if she were experiencing that heartbreak, herself.

# data[].attributes.body
A chance encounter in Hogwarts' Astronomy tower opened Emerald's eyes to a world of color and love—something she believed she could never have nor deserve. Kaladin Ravenwood, a man who is no less broken than she, had stolen her heart and, in doing so, completely changed her life for the better.

# data[].attributes.body
The few times Emerald wished she could not slip into a person's mind included the day her beloved cousin was banished from the grounds of Hogwarts. She had peeked into his mind for a second and, to her confusion, saw an image of a man that bore an uncanny resemblance to her father: aged skin, blue eyes as deep as the depths of the ocean, and, curiously, hair as bright as a star's silver light—hair like her own.

She had gone home later that week and, during a silent dinner with her family, asked about him. Her father had lied at first, but Emerald, who had read his mind, knew very well what secret he was keeping. She just wanted him to tell her, himself, so that she could look at him in the eyes and call him a liar. So that he could feel guilt and shame for his identity as the son of Corban Yaxley, a death eater of the vanquished Dark Lord.

# data[].attributes.body
The first time Emerald laid her eyes upon her, she had this sense of familiarity she could not quite put a finger on. Ever the curious mind, she pursued this girl and made efforts to befriend her. When her suspicion became too great, she confided in this girl and, in turn, learned that Sapphire Elysia Young may be her long lost sister.

# data[].attributes.body
A perfect night at the Yule Ball was made even more perfect when Kaladin Ravenwood brought her to that same tower they first fell in love in and got down on one knee, asking for her hand in marriage. Emerald said yes, of course. Not that she had much of a choice. Kaladin had stolen her heart and had never quite given it back.

The Yaxley bloodline is canon to the series. As mentioned in the previous section, the Yaxleys are part of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. As there is little information written about the bloodline, the writer has taken creative freedom to fit her character's background.

# data[].attributes.body
❛  grandfather.

Corban Yaxley was a Dark wizard and Death Eater who fought during the First and Second Wizarding War, alongside Voldemort.  Corban Yaxley aided the Dark Lord in infiltrating the Ministry of Magic by becoming the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

Currently, he is imprisoned in Azkaban for his warcrimes against Muggle-borns.

Emerald did not know of her relation to him up until she was 22 years old, as her father had gone through great lengths to cut off his connection to the Death Eater.

# data[].attributes.body
❛  father.

Verteris De Lisle is a respected name in the wizarding community.  He is known for his career with the professional quidditch team, Montrose Magpies, which he played seeker for from seasons 2000 to 2006.  Before joining the Magpies, Verteris played chaser for a French team for 4 years.

Currently, Verteris works for the Ministry of Magic as the Head of the Department of the British and Irish League.

Although Verteris charmingly portrays himself as a "family man" in the eyes of the public, he prioritizes work over spending time with his family.  Thus, he never truly bothered to build a loving relationship with Emerald (although he expects her to make him proud through her accomplishments).

Verteris also values the ancient belief of "blood purity" and supremacy.  Thus, he married a pure-blood and heavily criticizes any family member who does not follow the tradition of marrying into notably pure-blood families.  Verena, his sister (and in turn, her children), as well as his own daughter, Emerald, are the only two who have received his scorn thus far.

# data[].attributes.body
The first time Verteris and Sena had seen their second-born since her birth was when Emerald brought Sapphire to a family dinner at the De Lisle Manor. Burdened by confusion and a million unanswered questions, Emerald confronted her parents and, in turn, uncovered the De Lisle's darkest secret:

When a seer falsely foretold that Sapphire would be born a squib, Verteris ordered that she be removed to avoid "dirtying" the bloodline. Sena, who did not have the heart to kill her child, instead chose to deliver Sapphire to a muggle family's doorstep, who took her in and raised her as one of her own until adulthood.

# data[].attributes.body
❛  mother.

Sena is one of three daughters to the Ryu family, which is one of the sacred pure-blood wizarding families in South Korea.  Her relationship with the Ryu family, as far as Emerald knows, is nonexistent.

Sena attended the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and briefly played for France's Quiberon Quafflepunchers.  She met her husband, Verteris, during one of their rival games.

Currently, Sena works for the Ministry of Magic as Head of the Department of the Obliviator Headquarters.

For as long as Emerald can remember, Sena had always been withdrawn as a mother.  It was only until Emerald learned about her sister's existence when she discovered and understood why.

Currently, Emerald and Sena are slowly fixing their relationship, although time will only tell if the time they already lost is too great to repair.

# data[].attributes.body
Emerald's graduation. Fourteen years at Hogwarts led her to this moment. She was appointed as an official Auror for the British Ministry of Magic during the ceremony.

# data[].attributes.body
❛  biological sister.

Sapphire Elysia Young (née De Lisle) is the youngest daughter of the De Lisle family.  When a seer falsely foretold that Sapphire would be born a squib, Verteris ordered that she be removed to avoid "dirtying" the bloodline.  Shortly after her birth, Sena anonymously delivered Sapphire to a muggle family's doorstep, who took her in and raised her as one of her own until adulthood.

Emerald did not know of her sister's existence up until the first few weeks of her fifth year, in 2020.

Currently, Emerald is trying to build a stable relationship with her sister by offering the younger support whenever she needs it.

# data[].attributes.body
❛  paternal aunt.

Verena was the first known member of the Yaxley bloodline to break the tradition of only marrying from pureblood families.

Emerald does not have a relationship with her.

# data[].attributes.body
❛  paternal cousin.

Verena's first-born child and the first half-blood member in the bloodline.

While Verteris forbade his wife and daughter from forming close relationships with his sister's "dirtied" family, Emerald found a friend in her elder cousin.  He was at worst her best friend, and at best her brother.  They were practically inseparable in their youth, often finding peaceful company with one another when everyone else their age became too overwhelming to deal with.  The first time they had truly been apart was when his anger and recklessness caused his banishment from Hogwarts grounds.

# data[].attributes.body
❛  paternal cousin.

Verena's second-born child and the second half-blood member in the bloodline.

Emerald, regretfully, had never been able to form a bond with her.  She supposed it was their differences in age that set them apart.

# data[].attributes.body
The Pure-Blood Directory established that only twenty-eight wizarding families in the UK were "truly pure-blood". The Yaxley family was considered to be a part of this Sacred Twenty-Eight.

Up until Corban's branch, the members directly linked to the Yaxley bloodline have all married into other pureblood families.  Verena Yaxley, Corban's daughter, married a muggle-born, while her brother, Verteris, stayed true to the family's values and married Sena Ryu, who hails from a sacred family listed in the South Korean Pure-Blood Directory.
