Merula Snyde

Merula Snyde was a witch who began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was born in 1973, joined Hogwarts in 1984 and was sorted into Slytherin house. Merula often antagonised Jacob’s sibling during their time in Hogwarts and remained a persistent rival to them throughout the years.

Merula’s mother and father were Death Eaters who supported Lord Voldemort. At some point, Merula witnessed them in conflict with an Auror which led to the death of the Auror. This allowed her to see Thestrals.

After Voldemort’s apparent death in 1981, Merula’s parents were captured for their committed crimes and sent to Azkaban between 1983 and 1984; Merula witnessed their trial, which upset and traumatized her. Her mother, being a member of the Frog Choir in her youth, frequently sang to her until her arrest, though she would keep this a secret out of insecurity.

Afterwards, Merula was raised by her aunt, who forbade her from owning any pets, much to her chagrin. Victims of her parents sent threats to their house, resulting in her aunt spending as little time with her as possible and Merula almost entirely staying indoors.

Merula is a misunderstood character who feels like she has to prove herself by being the best witch ever. Eventually, she opens up to the player and they start to get along well spending time with the player slowly starts to heal her trauma.
