bio.
making her way into the world, indi already had plans laid out for her from her lovely, doting family. they were the scamanders, synonymous with magical creatures. however, indi fought it from the very beginning as she did with everything. but she fought with grace, not anger.
the young, bubbly child played in the yard and, at such a young age, created a garden her family could never have imagined -- and all with the tips of her fingers. her family banded together to create space for her to build her gardens to be sure that the creatures that roamed the countryside home never trampled them.
although her love came to plants, she had a way with the creatures but as she got older, she didn't want to admit she wanted anything to do with them. she wanted to be a different type of scamander, not a carbon copy. that's not to say she wasn't proud of all they accomplished, but she wanted to stand out like her grandmother, tina who had such a different work life as an auror. indi had always appreciated that about her. and her grandfather, newt, was legend. he was legend whether he liked it or not. he showered her with more love than she could handle. and her parents stood by watching their sweet indi grow into her own person -- a person they were proud and awed by. some might say the idyllic family that lived under one roof was perfect. they would be right.
when indi got her letter from higwarts she was conflicted. of course she wanted to go, wanted to learn, make friends and simply see the castle she had heard so much about. but that meant leaving her gardens, the creatures (damned things!) and, most importantly, her family. she didn't know who she was without the warm home she grew up in. she was scared. but her family reassured her that they would be some of the best years of her life. indi hoped they were right.
like her parents and newt, indi was sorted into hufflepuff and it wasn't a surprise that her area of study was herbology. as much as she hated to admit it, she did miss the creatures (damned things!). it was like they belonged in her gardens and deserved the snacks she grew. she wanted to be known for something other than creatures but there must've been something in her family's blood that drew them in.
indi started reading up on creatures more and more but in private, never telling anyone as she didn't want to be "that scamander". Perhaps she was fighting the inevitable but at night when she was in her room, plants surrounding her, she was calm and at ease. she didn't have to hide her genuine love of herbology. surely the two could go together in a comprehensive way without being too "scamander-ish".
the war has indi nervous. she doesn't like violence. she doesn't know how to deal with it -- even when the kids at school who picked on other kids, indi couldn't stand it. she doesn't feel brave enough to make a choice about what side of the war she should be on so she hasn't. she's stayed in the middle, pretending nothing is happening. indi is in denial.
