HISTORY:

STEPHANIE GRACE UNDERWOOD - ONE OF THOSE NAMES YOU JUST DON'T FORGET. THE FIRST OF TWO CHILDREN BIRTHED BY MOTHER SELENA, SHE WAS BORN ON THE NIGHT OF SEPTEMBER TWENTY-NINTH, SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO. HER DELIVERY STATS WERE NORMAL, BUT THE ACTUAL DELIVERY WAS VIA C-SECTION, SOMETHING THAT HER PARENTS DECIDED ON IN ADVANCE. ALL THE SIGNS, HOWEVER, POINTED TO A HEALTHY BABY GIRL, WITH NORMAL MUGGLE PARENTS. USUALLY, THAT DIDN'T MEAN MUCH OF ANYTHING, BECAUSE MUGGLE FAMILIES SOMETIMES GAVE BIRTH TO WIZARDING CHILDREN (THAT WAS PRETTY COMMON IN THE WORLD, ACCORDING TO PRETTY MUCH EVERY WIZARD ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET). BUT THE UNDERWOOD FAMILY DIDN'T KNOW THAT. WOULD THEIR DAUGHTER TURN OUT TO BE A WITCH? WELL, THAT WAS YET TO BE DECIDED.

GROWING UP, STEPHANIE WAS RAISED LIKE ANY NORMAL CHILD. SHE LEARNED TO WALK AT A NORMAL CLIP. READING WAS A LITTLE SLOW FOR HER, AS EARLY SPEECH PROBLEMS PREVENTED HER FROM PRONOUNCING ANYTHING WITH THE LETTER R NORMALLY. ASIDE FROM HER READING ISSUE, EVERYTHING ELSE CAME WHEN CHILDREN USUALLY LEARNED THEM. TEETHING WAS PRETTY MUCH AN ISSUE, WITH HER NEEDING RINGS AND PRETTY MUCH EVERY FOOD NECESSARY TO STOP HER FROM COMPLAINING TOO MUCH. IT WAS A LITTLE HARD FOR MOM AND DAD TO KEEP UP WITH STEPHANIE'S BASIC NEEDS AT THE TIME, AND THEY CONSIDERED TURNING HER IN TO AN ORPHANAGE DURING HER TEETHING STAGE. DURING THIS TIME, THEY ALSO HAD TO RAISE HER BABY BROTHER, WHO WAS ONLY A YEAR BEHIND HER IN AGE. THANKFULLY, THEY DIDN'T GIVE HER UP TO ANYONE, AND THEY DECIDED TO KEEP RAISING HER AS THEIR OWN.

DURING HER PRE-SCHOOL YEAR, STEPHANIE WAS HELPED IN A SPEECH PROGRAM ON TOP OF WHATEVER HER PRE-SCHOOL TEACHER WAS TEACHING. SHE WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY HER ABC'S AND 123'S NORMALLY, AND SHE STARTED TO LEARN ABOUT DIFFERENT COLORS AND SHAPES AT A SOMEWHAT SLOW PACE. THIS WAS SLIGHTLY SURPRISING WITH HER TEACHER, WHO REALIZED THAT THE OTHER KIDS WERE LEARNING AND UNDERSTANDING THEM A LITTLE QUICKER THAN THE UNDERWOOD CHILD WAS. THIS WENT ON THROUGH THE EARLY SCHOOL YEARS, UNTIL AROUND THE FIRST OR SECOND GRADE (MOM AND DAD AREN'T SURE EXACTLY WHICH YEAR), WHEN SHE STARTED TO GET THE CONCEPT OF WHAT SHE LEARNED IN PRE-SCHOOL. SHE STILL HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A SPEECH PROBLEM, SO SHE REMAINED IN A SPEECH CLASS THROUGH THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

NOW, THIS IS WHERE THINGS GET MILDLY INTERESTING. STEPHANIE CONTINUED TO GROW UP IN A SOMEWHAT-NORMAL LIFESTYLE. SHE MET A FEW GOOD FRIENDS, AND HER GRADES IN PRIMARY SCHOOL WERE DECENT - LOW A'S TO HIGH C'S, DEPENDING ON WHAT CLASS SHE WAS IN. THINGS WERE DEFINITELY LOOKING UP FOR HER. AS SHE WAS ABOUT TO TURN ELEVEN, THERE WAS JUST ONE QUESTION THAT WAS NEVER ON HER MIND IN THE SLIGHTEST. IF SHE WAS GOING TO BE A WITCH, SHE WOULD GET HER LETTER AND THINGS WOULD CHANGE. IF SHE DIDN'T GET A LETTER, THEN THAT WOULD BE FINE FOR HER, AND SHE'D LIVE HER LIFE WITHOUT GOING THROUGH HOOPS. ON THE DAY THAT SHE TURNED ELEVEN... NOTHING HAPPENED. NO LETTER, NOBODY SHOWING UP AT HER DOORSTEP. SHE ENDED UP GOING TO SCHOOL WITH A BOXFUL OF CUPCAKES THAT HER MOTHER BAKED FOR HER THE NIGHT BEFORE. AND THAT WAS THAT. SHE WOULD FOREVER REMAIN A MUGGLE WITHOUT HER KNOWING THAT SHE WAS A MUGGLE.

THAT SHOULD BE THE END OF HER LIFE STORY. BUT OF COURSE, THERE'S MORE.

THE NEXT YEAR, SHE BECAME PART OF THE UPPER THIRD FORM AT SMELTINGS ACADEMY. IT WAS A DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERE THAN HER PRIMARY SCHOOL, WHICH TO SAY THE LEAST, WAS TAME COMPARED TO THE HIGHER-UP STUDENTS AND THE TEACHERS AT HER NEW SCHOOL. THINGS STARTED OFF KIND OF SLOW IN STEPHANIE'S CASE, DUE TO THE LACK OF PREPAREDNESS SHE HAD GOING IN. THE TEACHERS WERE NEW, AND ALTHOUGH THE WORK SEEMED LIKE IT COULD BE EASY, IT REALLY WASN'T. STEPHANIE'S GRADES IN THE FIRST WEEK WERE AVERAGE. MAINLY THEY WERE HIGH C'S TO LOW D'S, BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT - THOUGH THERE WAS A LOT OF EFFORT, IT SEEMED LIKE THE CURRICULUM AT SMELTINGS WAS DIFFERENT THAN HER PRIMARY SCHOOL. EVENTUALLY, HER WORK WOULD GET BETTER AND HER GRADES WOULD START TO GET BETTER AS WELL. THEY RETURNED TO HER USUAL LOW A'S TO HIGH C'S, WHICH WAS AVERAGE FOR HER; AS USUAL, THEY DEPENDED ON THE CLASS SHE WAS IN.

WHEN IT CAME TO FRIENDS, THAT CAME TO STEPHANIE NATURALLY. IF THERE WAS ONE THING THAT SHE COULD GET RIGHT, IT WAS MAKING FRIENDS. SHE HAD MET A FEW GOOD FRIENDS IN HER FIRST FORM AT THE SCHOOL, AND THEY CARED FOR HER THE SAME WAY THAT SHE CARED FOR THEM. THERE WAS NO TRUE PACT, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, BECAUSE THEY WERE IN SEPARATE CLASSES THROUGHOUT THE DAY - NO MORE THAN TWO OF THEM WERE IN THE SAME CLASS AT ANY ONE POINT IN TIME. EVEN THOUGH THAT WAS THE CASE, THEY REMAINED CLOSE FRIENDS THROUGH THE YEARS.

STEPHANIE WENT INTO THE LOWER SIXTH FORM WITH HER FRIENDS, UNDECIDED ON WHAT SHE'S GOING TO DO WHEN SHE GETS OUT OF SMELTINGS. THERE'S A CHANCE THAT SHE MIGHT GO INTO THE ART FIELD, BECAUSE OF HER TALENT WITH ARTS AND CRAFTS. BUT THAT'S TO BE DECIDED IN THE FUTURE.
