BRIEF BIO:Rachel Toulsen [born Ravisham] was born into the Ravisham house hold in 1953. They were a family of half-bloods, though it had been many generations since they'd had any non-magical folk in their bloodline. It was never drummed into her to hate muggles, or muggle-borns alike, in fact, it was quite the opposite! she was taught that wizards and muggles were equal, and that the non-magic deserved as much respect as witches and wizards. The family were close, and overall, Rachel had a generally happy childhood. Her parents loved each other dearly -of course they'd have the occasional fight, but all couples do - and on the whole, they set a good example for their daughter. Perhaps it was all the fairy tales her mother would read before she went to bed, but she always knew she'd find her true love; and this became her goal over anything else. She wanted to be just as happy as her parents were when she came to be their age.
When Rachel turned eleven and attended Hogwarts, she was sorted into Ravenclaw house - which wasn't unsurprising, since she was an intelligent girl. She was easy-going and got on well with most people, though the professors would often comment that her head was in the clouds most of the time. Like most of her friends, she grew to hate many of the Slytherins; they were rude, and mean and the perfect villains to her story. By her seventh year, she had been in quite a few relationships; but none of them lasted, they just seemed to fizzle out.
When she left Hogwarts she was unsure what she wanted to do with her career, so for the time being she decided to work in a shop down Diagon Alley. In her spare time she would make frequent visits to the library - both wizarding and muggle. When she was 20, she finally decided what she wanted to do; become a healer. She spent many weeks researching, before finally beginning her healer training. She'd been training 7 months when she met him; he'd just started working in the muggle library she so frequently visited and she was certain it was love at first sight. They began speaking immediately, and before she knew it they were dating, and then officially a couple and she threw herself completely into the relationship. They'd only been dating a month when she decided to quit her training, to work in a muggle shop. Her boyfriend, Mike, didn't know about the wizarding world and it was a pretty big bomb to drop, so for now, she just wouldn't tell him. Needless to say, her parents were horrified that she had chosen to give up after all the hard work and long hours she'd put in, they kept telling her she was far too young to settle down, and far too immature to be so completely absorbed in a relationship; to which she simply replied that she loved him, and he was her one chance to be happy.
And for a while, she was. The relationship continued to move at an incredibly fast pace. After 5 months they were looking at flats, and by 6 months Mike had proposed, to which she accepted. She'd even told him about her being a witch, and though shocked at first, he soon came to terms with it. Her parents, though still unhappy, stuck by her throughout the relationship. They were 8 months in when Mike said he didn't want to be with her anymore; she came home to find all her clothes packed in suitcases, and her possessions in boxes. He said that something had changed, and he didn't love her anymore; he said he wasn't sure if her ever did love her. Rachel was crushed, she just didn't understand where it had come from; the week previous they were tasting cake, yet here they were. Over. And none of her begging or pleading would change it.
So she moved back into her parents house, and though they tried to be supportive, they didn't help. They'd tell her that they were right, and she was too young to understand true love; but one day she would find someone she really loved, and someone who deserved her. To her, these were not comforting words at all. She began to resent her parents, along with men in general. Her parents hoped she'd resume her healer training but, alas, she did not. As some twisted form of revenge, she started dating men, often more than one at a time, all for the purpose of breaking their hearts. She wanted them to know how it felt to have their hearts so cruelly trodden on; though no matter how many hearts she broke, no matter how many men she made cry; it didn't make her feel better. She was drunk one night in the Leakey Cauldron one day, when she explained this to a punter [Kai Robertson]. She recognised him from her year at school, though then they had never been friends as he was in Slytherin. He told her that it wasn't men who treated people so badly, it was muggles. He told her how they were selfish, ungrateful, and unworthy of her love... and how they were unworthy of everything. Maybe it was because she was drunk, or perhaps because she was so bitter from her failed relationship; but she ate up his words, believing everything he said. They began meeting up regularly, and he would spin his tales, poisoning her mind against muggles.
Her parents noticed her changing, and they had a big argument when they found her burning up their family tree because a muggle was on it - it was then she cut all ties with her parents. They said she had lost the plot and needed counseling; she retaliated by saying they were always jealous, and never wanted her to be happy; and that's how she left it and despite attempts from them, Rachel hasn't spoken to her parents since. She even changed her last name to Toulsen, as to completely separate herself from them. That night was the same night she sought out Mike, and murdered him. Her death eater friend was right, there was no going back after your first kill; but she found she didn't want to. While she once hoped to fall in love and get married, her only dream now is to rid the world of muggles and mudbloods.
