Not at all related to Angus Buchanan.*

Let’s just say Darling’s childhood was already all sorts of complicated before a pair of funny looking people showed up at her house to tell her parents she was a witch... right after they’ve had an argument over who got to keep her during the weekend. Neither her mother or her father really wanted her, by the way. 

They didn’t care much about her having to go to boarding school and if anything supported it wholeheartedly. It’s not that they didn’t love her, they probably did, but her mother never wanted to be a mother, and her father... well, he was there out of obligation as well. Their relationships truly began improving once they only had to keep her during the summers. “It’s something”, she often told herself. 

People at Hogwarts began assuming she was related to Angus Buchanan and while she didn’t understand at first, no matter how many times she assured everyone she wasn’t, people just kept believing it; something that in the end impulsed her to pursue quidditch as a career, as a beater no less. It took her a while to decide which team she wanted to play for, but ultimately went for the Holyhead Harpies.

At some point after graduating and starting her career, Darling met a man she had an affair with, ending with her pregnant and why not? Completely heartbroken. She thought hard and long about it, and ultimately chose to keep her child, whom she named Quinn Fae Buchanan. Quinn’s father hasn’t tried to contact her, since upon hearing the news of the pregnancy he immediately accused her of cheating (she didn’t)
